2023-11-23
The reporter visited a radar station of a certain air force brigade in the Western Theater Command and felt the patriotism of the officers and soldiers - "Looking up at the night sky, I am that shining star." ■ Zhang Leifeng, a reporter from the People's Liberation Army Daily, and Deng Dongzhi, a correspondent with a high mountain and bright moon, dotted with stars. The position of a radar station of a certain air force brigade in the Western Theater Command, Gambala, was covered with stars. At the world's highest altitude manned radar station, the reporter saw platoon leader Tang Rongwei fully armed and starting night duty. This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Air Force Party Committee granting the station the honorary title of "Gambala Model Radar Company". I am honored to be here, inheriting the mission of my predecessors and becoming a descendant of the new era Gambala, "Tang Rongwei said with a resounding step. The night on the mountaintop of Gambala was bitterly cold. The north wind whistled in the reporter's ear, and soon his exposed skin was scratched to the point of pain. Tang Rongwei, who was dressed in the same attire, stood tall and straight like a snowy mountain in the distance. The reporter saw a border guard stone with the two red characters "loyalty" standing quietly. Tang Rongwei said that they patrol the gravel beach during the day and stand guard by the stones at night. This weathered border stone statue is a loyal guard who always accompanies the border guards. Jiang Xinyu, the deputy monitor on duty with Tang Rongwei, grew up by the Yangtze River since childhood. He particularly likes to stand on the mountaintop and overlook, because "whenever I see rivers and lakes, I think of my hometown." With the company of his comrades, Jiang Xinyu's sense of loneliness is much less. The weather here is changeable, and the most memorable experience is a night maintenance... "He looked up and told the reporter their story. One early morning, the battlefield was filled with lightning and thunder, and military dogs were barking loudly. Tang Rongwei and Jiang Xinyu woke up from their sleep with a start, suddenly got up, put on their clothes, and rushed out of the door. Lightning pierced the night sky, and the sound of thunder was deafening. After layers of investigation, they found that the bad weather caused telephone lines to be interrupted. The backup line has not been built yet, and if this line breaks, it is likely to affect subsequent combat readiness tasks. "Jiang Xinyu was extremely anxious. Taking out the toolbox and turning on the searchlight... without a moment's hesitation, the two fought for an hour and a half against the pain of the cold rain and hail, and finally connected the line. Our work is ordinary but meaningful, "said Jiang Xinyu with pride on his face. Following Jiang Xinyu's footsteps, the reporter was using a flashlight to explore the light, and the surrounding area was covered in rubble, leaving a vast expanse. On the plateau in winter, the nights are extremely cold, and it's difficult to wake up in the middle of the night. But when I thought about my comrades outside still holding their positions in the cold wind, I accelerated my pace. "Jiang Xinyu said," This is a life restricted area, but it is full of magnificent colors. Every time I see the towering snow mountains and clear sky I guard on duty, no matter how hard I work, I never feel bitter. The two hours of duty passed quickly, and Tang Rongwei unloaded his equipment, revealing layers of calluses on his palms, and the skin on his back had also dried and cracked. It's really cold tonight! Fortunately, we have successfully completed our work, "he said with a cup of hot water and his mouth raised. Looking at the scene in front of them, the reporter thought to himself, perhaps sticking to each shift and getting a sip of hot water back home would be their warm happiness. The more difficult places are, the more they need us, "Tang Rongwei said. When he graduated last year, driven by his strong belief in defending the country and borders, he resolutely chose to come to the snowy plateau and write a different kind of youth.
