A certain regiment of the Xinjiang Military Region encourages officers and soldiers to take root in border defense and strive to win - guarding the border is not afraid of hardship, and the mission is on their shoulders. The People's Liberation Army Daily reporter Zhang Leifeng and Li Lei, as well as the correspondent Zongheng, have towering snow capped mountains, and the cold wind howls. A strong military story gathering in a certain regiment of the Xinjiang Military Region ignited a raging flame in the hearts of officers and soldiers. At the forefront of defending the country and the border, we must all maintain a sincere heart and forge ahead with a charged attitude. At the beginning of the event, the deputy commander of the regiment and the newly appointed platoon leaders sat together to tell everyone their story of building a strong military. In 2020, the deputy commander led the officers and soldiers to conduct live combat training on the snowy plateau. The designated task area is characterized by high altitude, hypoxia, rugged roads, and complex terrain. After a rapid march, a waist deep river blocked the passage. "Don't panic, I'm here to explore the water and clear the way. Party members and backbone members follow!" Faced with the turbulent river, the deputy commander jumped into the water without hesitation and organized everyone to cross the river while exploring the roadside. Under his leadership, the officers and soldiers safely crossed the river. "For border officers and soldiers, 'mission is like a mountain' is not abstract." Listening to the deputy commander's account, the new platoon leaders were deeply moved by his strong sense of responsibility and mission. The new platoon leader, Xiao Sun, exclaimed with emotion, "In the face of the mission of strengthening the army and the important task of defending the border, I must act like the deputy commander, without hesitation, charge forward, and resolutely complete the task." In this unit, the genes of dedication to the mission and determination to win have already been integrated into the blood of every officer and soldier. Once, the regiment organized training in an unfamiliar area with an altitude of over 5000 meters, and the reconnaissance company was responsible for long-range firepower guidance and strike missions. The platoon leader led the officers and soldiers of the detachment, carrying dozens of kilograms of equipment, to rush up the mountain to set up an observation post, timely transmit target data, and successfully complete the task. The platoon leader in front of the reporter, just in his early thirties, has a noticeable receding hairline. When it comes to this matter, he smiled and said, "The hairline can 'retreat', but the sacred territory of our motherland cannot be missing an inch!" Although the words were humorous, the effort behind them was unimaginable. For many years, this company commander led the officers and soldiers to participate in multiple major tasks, sometimes even working for a whole day in the cold environment of minus 30 degrees Celsius; First class sergeant Wang Mingming leads his team on patrols every week. During one patrol, he has a strong altitude sickness, and after a brief oxygen rest, he sets out on a journey without hesitation; Corporal Liu Haitao suddenly went into shock while carrying a heavy load and was sent to the foot of the mountain for treatment. Two weeks later, he voluntarily applied to return to the high-altitude combat position... In addition to training, the officers and soldiers like to sit in front of the barracks and look far away. For them, that is the direction of home, and even more so, the direction of the capital Beijing. Li Pengpeng, a private soldier who went to the plateau at the beginning of this year, was full of pride in his words: "The high snowy mountains witness the rapid development of our country's construction, and also witness our determination to fight against the Party and the war. Defending the border is my mission, and it is also a glory of my life." Strolling through the camp, the reporter strongly felt that as the Party and the country continue to increase investment in high-altitude border defense construction, the basic infrastructure of the regiment is gradually improving, The duty conditions of officers and soldiers have greatly improved, and the atmosphere of military training and preparation continues to be strong. The mission of defending the border and the country has also been given new connotations. Every year, I climb the plateau and showcase my new beauty. Enjoying the 'dividends' brought by national development, I
