The calm tone of squad leader 8 made everyone feel as if they had taken reassurance, and they walked calmly and quickly.
However, even with the reminder from Squad Leader 8, Lin Yi was almost staggered by a stone under the snow. He suddenly thought that if Squad Leader 8 hadn't reminded him and made him more prepared, there would have been a big mess.
Lin Yi now really admires Squad Leader 8 for being able to remain calm in such situations. No wonder the outpost has been unable to do without him.
As soon as he returned to the outpost playground, backup staff rushed out to put a dog jacket on Aru and plug in a special power bank.
Aru also knew that the blizzard was coming, so he hid in the kennel in time. There was enough dog food in the kennel for two days, which was enough for him to survive the snowstorm.
After taking off his equipment, Master Wu brought out a pot of milk tea and said, "Come on, let's drink some milk tea to warm up your body. In this weather, your body will be completely frozen."
When Lin Yi saw the milk tea now, it was like seeing a savior. Although he had been exercising during the six-hour patrol, the weather was too cold. Not to mention other parts of the body, you had to breathe. The exercise was fast, and the light
Breathing through the nose doesn't work, you have to breathe through the mouth.
Once you breathe through your mouth, the cold air goes directly into your body, which can really freeze you to the bone.
But you can't help it. If you don't breathe through your mouth, the oxygen in your body really won't be supplied.
Just after Lin Yi took the cup and filled it with milk tea, a dull buzzing sound came from the outpost, which made Lin Yi feel panicked.
So I quickly walked to the door in three steps and two steps. Through the glass door, I saw the blizzard in the sky swallowing up everything.
The 8th squad leader breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the correspondent, "Reporting to the regiment headquarters, the 8th squadron encountered a snowstorm and all personnel have returned to the post. Everything is normal now."
Then he looked at Lin Yi and said, "Platoon leader Lin, we can have a holiday again. This snowstorm is coming and it will definitely not stop tomorrow. It may continue until the day after tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow."
"During this period, we only need to ensure that the guard post on the second floor is on duty normally. The rest of the people can move out of the small maza and sit and rest."
Lin Yi was not as optimistic as the 8th squad leader, "You have to go back to the regiment with the supplies truck next week. Aren't you afraid that the snowstorm will delay your return home?"
It's impossible for squad leader 8 to miss home. After all, he hasn't been back for two years, but conditions are limited now. If a snowstorm really blocks the road, there's nothing he can do.
Besides, Lin Yi has come up. Even if he can't go back next week, he will definitely be able to go back next week. As long as Lin Yi can hold on at the post, he can't escape his vacation.
"Platoon Leader Lin, you decide the time of my vacation. If you can't carry it down the mountain at the post, then my vacation will definitely be ruined. If you can carry it, my vacation will definitely not be able to escape."
Lin Jing smiled when he saw that the 8th squad leader had joined his own army and said, "Don't worry, although my outpost experience is not as experienced as yours (local dialect means rich in experience), after this patrol, I have a rough idea of how long the distance is."
Bitterness, I can bear this bitterness."
When Squad Leader 8 heard Lin Yi's words, his heart dropped, "As long as you can bear this patrol route. By the way, Lao Wu, let's have extra dinner tonight. The snowstorm is coming, and so is our holiday. We must
You have to eat better."
At this time, a backup staff said: "Squad leader, don't you know Lao Wu? There has been a power outage today, so Lao Wu simply used the open fire in the boiler room to barbecue meat. Now he has probably roasted two or three kilograms."
You may be wondering, since there is an open fire in the outpost, why do we need to rely on electricity for cooking? It would be better to just use an open fire to cook.
It should be mentioned here that the reason why there is an open fire in the outpost is because it relies on open flames to burn heat. Only when the hot water in the boiler is circulated can the indoor temperature of the outpost not be too low.
Maybe southerners don’t know much about heating, but most northerners do.
Anyway, to put it simply, that boiler is a special one and is only suitable for heating. There is no way to cook and heat at the same time.
So once there is a power outage and the generator can only supply power to the pressure cooker, Master Wu will find a way to get more non-staple food.
And barbecue is a very important one.
After hearing this, squad leader 8 immediately called Lin Yi, "Come on, let's go to the kitchen. Our Master Wu's barbecue is excellent, and it tastes delicious."
Lin Yi quickly followed, walked to the boiler room, and saw Master Wu using a few iron skewers to skewer meat and grill it in the stove.
Squad leader 8 was not polite. He picked up some slices of cooked meat, dipped it in some cumin and put it in his mouth. While eating, he handed it back to Lin Yi, "Platoon leader Lin, you can eat some too. By the way, wait a minute."
I will eat two more pieces of raw garlic, a must for barbecue.”
If you eat meat without garlic, the flavor will be reduced by half. Garlic has the characteristic of stimulating the flavor of meat, but for the sentry people, this is not the most important point.
The most important thing is that garlic can kill bacteria, especially when eating barbecue.
Because the meat will be stored for a longer time in winter, especially in outposts.
After the meat is pulled from below, it must be kept at the regiment headquarters for a day or two. After all the supplies are ready, it will be pulled to the outpost.
Although the meat here can be stored for a whole winter without spoiling, it has been stored for a long time after all. If you are not careful when roasting, you will get diarrhea after eating it.
Generally, the time when you can barbecue is when there is a power outage, and the outpost generally does not have a power outage. After all, it is an important national defense area. Unless bad weather blows out the wires, it will cause a power outage at the outpost.
So barbecue is basically equivalent to bad weather. If you eat up your stomach at this time, wrap yourself in a large cotton-padded jacket and run to the toilet, it is really no less than going to the battlefield.
Even if there was a barbed wire fence around the toilet, he would probably be blown over.
Level 10 winds are very common here at the outpost. If you have experienced it, you will know that if you are not paying attention when you are moving forward, the wind can blow you over. This is not an exaggeration at all.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have to carry a walkie-talkie with me when I go to the toilet.
Of course Lin Yi knew this, so he didn't rush to eat barbecue. Instead, he took a head of garlic and peeled it slowly.
However, Lin Yi discovered a very strange phenomenon, "Old Wu, why don't you find an iron basin, then take out a few pieces of red carbon from the boiler and put it on it to make a brazier? Put the meat directly on the brazier.
Roasting is no easier than sticking a skewer into the stove."
Squad Leader 8 waved his hand, "No, even if it is an open flame, carbon monoxide will still be produced during barbecue. And our outpost is better sealed, otherwise it will not be able to withstand the 30-degree cold outside."
"In this case, it is easy to cause carbon monoxide poisoning. Safety is a red line. Anything that may cause danger to the outpost must not be done."
"This is why we all use electricity for cooking here. Electricity does not produce carbon monoxide and is much safer."
