The Happy Road to Shenxian Bay
2023-10-16
What are the guarantee conditions for guarding the plateau? Please take a look at the Happiness Road leading to Shenxian Bay. The Happiness Road leading to Shenxian Bay is haunted by the wind and snow on the frontier road, and there is no fear of water and clouds. When it comes to Shenxian Bay on the Karakoram Plateau in the northwest border of China, people often marvel at its danger, desolation, and unpredictability. For decades, there have been generations of border soldiers from all over the world, fearless of the distance and difficulties at their feet. They have climbed the snowcapped mountains and peaks here and guarded the border of their motherland at the "Extreme Sentinel" - Shenxian Bay Border Guard Company. In the past, the road under the feet of officers and soldiers was not strictly considered a road, it was the dirt road, stone road, and snow road they used to tread out on countless trips to and from duty. Nowadays, with the attention paid to the development of border construction at all levels, border defense has taken on a new look. Hard asphalt roads connect various border defense points, gradually winding towards the clouds, forming a tight and efficient border defense road network, greatly facilitating border officers and soldiers' patrols and daily life. This has become a big heartwarming concern for the officers and soldiers. What are the guarantee conditions for guarding the plateau? Attention from officers and soldiers, attention from their families, and attention from the Chinese people. In recent years, with the empowerment of "technology+" to safeguard the frontline, the numerous "levels" that previously restricted the development of border defense and affected the lives of officers and soldiers are being gradually conquered. In addition to the construction of border defense road networks, as well as the difficulty of oxygen inhalation at high altitudes, a reporter from the People's Liberation Army Daily sent a message to the editorial department from the Shenxianwan outpost at an altitude of over 5000 meters: high-pressure oxygen tanks have been used here, and defense soldiers said that everyone can take oxygen every day after patrolling, and oxygen inhalation is now as common as eating and sleeping. The most representative keywords for travel, oxygen intake, and plateau security. So, what new experiences have officers and soldiers had when traveling and taking oxygen? What new expectations do you have for the future? Please take a look at the news reported by the PLA Daily reporter from Karakoram. ——Editor: A border defense regiment transport convoy from the Xinjiang Military Region is transporting materials to the Shenxianwan Border Defense Company. Patrol through the snow. Dreams come true, the sky is no longer far away, Kunlun is vast, and the cold wind is piercing. In late autumn, the reporter followed a comprehensive service team consisting of 8 female soldiers from a border defense regiment headquarters in the Xinjiang Military Region and advanced towards the depths of the Karakoram Plateau. The endpoint of this trip is the Shenxian Bay Border Defense Company of the Xinjiang Military Region at an altitude of 5380 meters. In order to provide comprehensive services that integrate medical patrols, psychological services, artistic performances, and material supplies to the high-altitude officers and soldiers, the team members prepared for a full month at the foot of the mountain. As far as my eyes can see, it is an endless snowy mountain road. The asphalt road surface cannot be seen at a glance, like a winding black ribbon. Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Corporal Cao Menghan's memory unconsciously returned to 5 years ago. In 2018, Cao Menghan arrived at Shenxian Bay for the first time with the comprehensive service team. The vehicle kept bumping on the washboard road, and the dust rolled up by the wheels filled the entire carriage through the gaps. Sitting in the car, Cao Menghan's altitude sickness became increasingly severe. The only idea for going up the mountain that time was to quickly reach the company. "Speaking of the embarrassment at the time, Cao Menghan and the accompanying female soldiers looked at each other and smiled. Once upon a time, this 160 kilometer plateau was paved with gray brown gravel, with numerous large and small pits, as well as numerous sharp turns, narrow roads, and steep slopes. At least four small pits were needed for a single journey
