I Am the President of the University

Latest website address: Tibet Province, yd County.

On the cliffs at the southern foot of the Himalayas on the Sino-Indian border, there is a post: Zhan Niangshe Post.

The name Zhan Niangshe is translated from Tibetan transliteration, which means "snow mountain island". The Zhan Niangshe Post was built in 1967. It is also known as the "Cloud Post" because it is accompanied by wind and snow all year round and is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round.

Private Wang He, who was standing guard, looked into the distance. There was no heavy snow in the mountains this season, so the visibility was good, but he still couldn't find the target he was looking for.

He couldn't help but whispered to his comrade Huang Weixuan next to him: "Old Huang, we just replenished supplies yesterday, why did the squad leader and sentry commander go down the mountain again today?"

In the eyes of many people, in this peaceful era, safeguarding the country's territorial integrity and people's security is the natural mission of PLA soldiers. However, what many people don’t know is that behind our stable life, many PLA soldiers paid their blood and even their lives in exchange for it.

China's land area is the third largest in the world. If we want to ensure that such a vast land is not invaded, we must set up outposts at many border crossings and be stationed and defended by People's Liberation Army soldiers. However, there are many places on China's border where the environment is extremely harsh, such as Zhan Niangshe Post.

Before 2010, Zhan Niangshe Post was the only post in the army that was not accessible by road. All supplies had to be transported to the Zelila Post 8 kilometers away. Each person carried at least 20 kilograms each time, which required 5 kilometers of steep mountain roads. There is a height difference of 500 meters, and it takes 5 to 6 hours to go back and forth, and you have to go back and forth through the sheep intestine trails known as "Ghost Gate" and "Tiger's Mouth".

There are even no steps on the last section of the cliff. It is a climbing ropeway set up by two steel cables. The soldiers need to climb to the outpost.

This is not the most rare thing. The most rare thing is that after the heavy snow closed the mountains in October, we basically relied on the grain, vegetables, canned food, firewood and other daily necessities collected in winter before October.

However, in order to obtain water sources, after heavy snow closed the mountains, the soldiers had no choice but to carry snow and turn it into water. Three soldiers once died in an avalanche while carrying snow.

Fortunately, the road to the outpost was built in 2010, and a cableway between the outpost and the mountain was built in 2018. It only takes two hours of transportation to supply the daily supplies needed by the soldiers at the outpost for a week. Even if the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, cars can transport the supplies to the cableway. Before, supplies could still be transported to the outpost through the cableway.

Relying on your back for drafts, carrying supplies, and relying on ropes for standing guard have become a thing of the past.

We already received supplies yesterday, so there’s no reason why we still have them today?

What's more, you still need to go to the county to get it, which is mysterious.

"I didn't know..." Huang Weixuan rolled his eyes, and then reminded: "If you are still talking while standing guard, if the squad leader hears it again, you can wait until you write a letter of apology!"

Wang He curled his lips, said no more, and continued to move his eyes.

This kind of plateau outpost cannot even fly with eagles, let alone stowaways. The reason why the outpost was established is that it is located in a key strategic position on the border between China and India, and it protects against the Asans of the other side.

It goes without saying how disgusting Ah San's character is. He loves to do little things. In the past, there were no long-term residents in Zhan Niang's house, so Ah San sneaked up and occupied the highest point nearby.

It's actually not a big deal if you occasionally say a few words while standing guard.

Twenty or thirty minutes passed.

Two figures wearing camouflage uniforms appeared under the cliff on one side of the post and were walking towards the post.

Zhan Niangshe's post is surrounded by cliffs with a slope of 85°. In the past, the last section of the journey was entirely dependent on climbing. Fortunately, in 2008, the superiors installed steel pipe guardrails for Zhan Niangshe's post and specially built 666 steps up to the post. , which contains the beautiful meaning of hoping that the border guards will travel "smoothly and smoothly".

Wang He's eyes were filled with joy. He knew that the whistle commander and squad leader were back.

Although the current conditions of Zhan Niangshe's outpost are much better than before, the geographical environment is harsh after all, and one mistake could kill someone.

"call--"

With a few heavy gasps, whistle leader Li Yucheng and squad leader Ma Guanjing appeared in front of Wang He and Huang Weixuan.

But the two of them were still holding some supplies on their backs.

Wang He didn't know why. Didn't the supplies arrive yesterday? Why do you have to go to the county to get it in person this time?

"Pause your guard duty and go back to the house to change your clothes before continuing." The guard, Li Yucheng, had a smile on his face, as if something happy had happened to him.

"Yes, Commander!"

Wang He and Huang Weixuan responded and walked into the dormitory of the sentry tower.

"Xiao Wang, Weixuan, I have brought you something good this time!" Squad leader Ma Guangjing praised the bag he took off his back, and said in a coquettish way: "Do you know what's in this?"

"What good thing is it? Squad leader, please tell me!" Wang He said curiously, his little eyes peered into the backpack for a long time, but he couldn't see anything interesting.

Huang Weixuan scratched his head and guessed: "Squad leader, is it for food?"

"Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat. Xiao Huang, if you had come to the post a few years earlier, you would have suffered a lot!" The sentry commander Li Yucheng glared at Huang Weixuan.

Wang He is the kind of person who is smart but not very honest. He needs a little beating.

Huang Weixuan is on the contrary. Although he is honest, he is a real foodie and can associate everything with eating.

As a guard commander who has been at Zhan Niangshe Post for several years, no one knows the significant changes here better than him.

In the past, it was difficult to get food, supplies, and water here, let alone electricity. The former outpost was a stilt house propped up in mid-air with reinforced concrete, a small iron house with one floor and two rooms in total.

A dormitory of 10 square meters, a storage room and kitchen of less than 10 square meters, and the iron house is surrounded by a protective iron fence.

Conditions are much better now!

Since attracting attention from the outside world in the past few years, the Zhan Niangshe post has not only solved the traffic problem, but also received electricity in 2018, and the post has been almost rebuilt.

The current post is a comprehensive hotel-style post integrating accommodation, life, entertainment, and duty. It covers an area of ​​more than 100 square meters and has three floors. It has an internal post, a canteen, a library, an Internet cafe (actually a computer room), and a bathroom. Everything is available, and lightning protection facilities, environmentally friendly wind energy generators and solar batteries are installed around the roof.

What most embodies humanistic care is that in order to relieve the boredom of the soldiers, the superiors also specially approved a kitten and a puppy for the Zhan Niangshe post, so that they can play with cats and dogs when they are bored.

It is worth mentioning that behind the electrification of Zhan Niangshe is a major project of the Tibetan Military Region - the first batch of Tibetan border defense troops to connect power grids with an investment of 520 million yuan and involving 129 border posts.

Our country’s investment in border defense is not stingy; on the contrary, it can be said to be the largest investment in the world!

Because there is no other way, the border demarcation work of New China is really too difficult.

Therefore, where the soldiers are, there is the national border!

After Li Yucheng opened his backpack, took out the contents and spread them out on the dormitory bed, Wang He, who had been paying attention, was disappointed.

"This, this is new clothing?" I thought it was a good thing, but this is the feeling?

Li Yucheng and Ma Guangjing looked at each other and laughed.

Then he separated two new sets of clothes, pants, gloves, and boots, and urged the two of them:

"You'll find out later. Quickly take off your coat and put on this."

"No... Commander, you will freeze to death if you wear this!" Wang He was dumbfounded. Although it was the end of August, it was bone-chillingly cold at the foothills of the Himalayas with an altitude of more than 4,000 meters! \b

This jacket and trousers look very thin, which is fine on the plains, but cannot be carried on the plateau.

Li Yucheng glared at Wang He and said, "You're the only brat who talks too much. Hurry up and put it on for me!"

"Oh." Wang He had no choice but to do it reluctantly.

The moment he took off his heavy coat and trousers, the coldness invaded his body, making Wang He shiver and goosebumps appear on his body. Regardless of the quality of the new clothes, he quickly changed into them.

"Pull up the zipper!" The voice of monitor Ma Guangjing came to my ears.

Wang He zipped up his coat obediently, and then a magical scene appeared!

ps: When writing a book, I will not write blindly when I encounter a knowledge blind spot. I need to check information. Today, it took me 2-3 hours to check the information about Zhan Niangshe Post and Sentinel and the documentary. It is too time-consuming to collect information, organize information, and quote information. , I’m really sorry for delaying it until now.

There is another chapter, which will be later, around 1-2 o'clock.
