To guard the border is to guard the homeland
2023-01-19
On the eve of the Spring Festival, the officers and soldiers of a regiment of the Xinjiang Military Region talked about the new look of the border and the feelings of home country - guarding the border is to guard the homeland "crossing the Gobi, crossing the desert, and bypassing the eighteen turns of the mountain road..." On the eve of the Spring Festival, the officers and soldiers of a regiment of the Xinjiang Military Region came to the border defense company of Ulas to deliver New Year's goods to the officers and soldiers. Different from previous years, this year, the group only sent one off-road vehicle to send the Spring Festival couplets, lanterns, family letters, newspapers and books to the snowy outpost while carrying meat, fruit and other goods. When I came to the Wulashi border defense company, I met Wang Xuehong, the head of the cooking class. He is carefully sorting out the vegetables he just picked: Chinese cabbage is fresh and tender, water celery is verdant... It is understood that the company is more than 240 kilometers away from the regimental headquarters, surrounded by mountains around the camp, and the annual snow closure period is long. There is a local saying "snow in August, frost in September, and a vast expanse of white in October". "The outdoor temperature is as low as - 29 ℃, and our greenhouse is still warm as spring." Wang Xuehong said that this Spring Festival, their own fresh vegetables are enough to protect the company's officers and soldiers. "Before the Spring Festival, the regiment would send a convoy to deliver New Year's goods to us, set out in the dark early in the morning, and then arrived at the post in the evening. The weather was cold, and the road was bumpy, so the New Year's goods were easily damaged on the way." Talking about the past experience, the company instructor Cheng Weiming was quite impressed. One Spring Festival, a reporter from a local media went to the post to interview. In order to welcome the visitors, the soldiers did not spare no effort to rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find something they could handle. Finally, they made a "feast" with more than ten cans. At the end of the interview, the reporter said when saying goodbye to the officers and soldiers, she tasted the ups and downs of the soldiers and the feelings of the border guards through the "canned dinner", and she will remember it for a lifetime! It is reported that in recent years, a series of heartwarming measures have been formulated at all levels of the armed forces to continue to solve the problems of the border guards and soldiers, and the security level of the company has been continuously improved in all aspects. "The company has not only built a greenhouse, but also built a fresh vegetable cellar without heating facilities." The company's first class sergeant Ahenbeck said that the vegetable cellar was built 3 meters underground, and the annual temperature was kept at 0-4 ℃, which is very suitable for the long-term preservation of vegetables, fruits, meat and eggs. "Before the Spring Festival this year, the company only applied for a small amount of supplies to the regimental organs.". With the improvement of security conditions, the border guards not only eat comfortably, but also have a more colorful spiritual and cultural life during festivals and holidays. "Living in the desert and Gobi, far away from the bustling cities, the monotony of spare time life and the loneliness of body and mind are the most distressing things." Chen Juncai, the company's ordnance officer and clerk, said that in the past, during the Spring Festival, many comrades in arms hoped that the superior department could send some video discs. Today, the post is not only connected to the strong military network, but also has full coverage of mobile network signals. The local area network of the regiment also regularly updates electronic books and periodicals, film and television works, and skills promotion micro-classes. In their spare time, officers and soldiers enter the online learning room and can enjoy a variety of "cultural dinners" with the click of a mouse, making their festival time full and meaningful. The endless changes of New Year's goods and the endless feelings of family and country. In the spacious and bright canteen hall, officers and soldiers play their special skills to make their own red lanterns and scissors in northern Shaanxi
