Deputy Commander Chen mentioned this when he saw Commander Li, so there was no point in emphasizing these things. It was obvious that the political commissar of the regiment did everything, but the regiment leader took the initiative to take all responsibilities. It seemed that they had already
There is a tacit understanding, and it is useless to say anything at this time.
"Okay, let's end these issues here. I won't talk to your political commissar when I return to the regiment headquarters. But now that we have arrived at the outpost, I have an idea, which is to follow the patrol once. How about it, Lin Pai
Commander, do you agree with my idea?"
When Lin Yi heard that Deputy Commander Chen was going to follow me on patrol, he quickly looked at Commander Li and felt extremely anxious. Are you kidding me? You, a deputy commander, are following me on patrol. Don't you know how dangerous the patrol road is?
I don’t even need to talk about the past. I just said that I was trapped in a snowstorm when I was patrolling the day before yesterday. If I hadn’t been lucky enough to reach that windless area, everyone might have been hospitalized with frostbite. If it was more serious, they might have died.
It’s all gone. Do you think you’re just patrolling or just playing house?
If something happens to you, it will be a trivial matter for me to lose my career in the future. Maybe the entire eighth team will be implicated. Isn’t this just looking for trouble?
Seeing Lin Yi's anxious look for help, Captain Li also felt that it was very inappropriate, "Old leader, don't joke with our platoon leader Xiao Lin. He is young and can't help you joking like this."
Unexpectedly, Deputy Commander Chen suddenly became serious and looked at Commander Li, "What's wrong? Are you worried that I won't be able to patrol with my forty-year-old physique? Platoon Leader Lin doesn't know. Don't you know?
When I was the leader of the border defense regiment, I issued a hard target, that is, all personnel in the regiment should have a fixed standard, that is, they should be able to run down five kilometers. No one should be exempted, including the political commissar of the regiment. Why, this rule
Have you canceled it?"
Captain Li shook his head repeatedly, "How can we cancel it? Our unit is the first line of defense for the motherland. Although the regiment is an agency unit, it is also the most basic agency. All personnel must keep their nerves tight at all times.
Now our daily morning exercise is a standard three-kilometer run. On weekends, the morning exercise becomes five kilometers, and no one is allowed to miss it. This is something that can greatly exercise our spirit and willpower. How can we give up."
Deputy Commander Chen nodded, "As long as I didn't throw it away, I have been running every day in the division headquarters for these years. I have a five-kilometer light cross-country trip every month. Don't worry about my physical fitness. I won't hold you back."
.”
Commander Li said this when he saw Deputy Commander Chen, and didn't know how to persuade him.
Seeing that Captain Li was silent, Lin Yi plucked up the courage and said: "Deputy Commander Chen, patrolling does not rely solely on physical strength. Physical fitness is only the most basic component, including human reflexes and the ability to withstand harsh environments.
Strength, these are extremely important.
Why the regiment has not allowed young officers to go to the outpost? It's not because the young officers' physical strength is not good enough. You said that after four years of military school, the daily morning exercises and evening runs are not just for fun. Who's physical strength will be weak?
But exercising physical fitness in the military academy is not the same thing as patrolling the border. There are many dangers along the border. As a division leader, you should know better where the graves of the three martyrs behind our post came from.
Our outpost has only been established for more than thirty years, and three comrades have already died. It is obvious how dangerous it is.
Although the current conditions are much better than before, it does not mean that the danger does not exist. If you are in danger, how can our eighth team continue to work? How will all the personnel cope with the next patrol."
Lin Yi is only a lieutenant now and has no qualifications to preach to Deputy Commander Chen, who is a senior colonel. But now that Lin Yi is the leader of Class 8, he has no choice but to explain clearly the pros and cons involved.
Deputy Commander Chen admired Lin Yi's speaking in an orderly manner, so he spoke very calmly, "It is precisely because of the danger that the officers in the regiment are reluctant to go up, but you have ignored one issue, that is
The country has maintained peace for a long time, and as a result, our officers have long lost the spirit of taking the initiative to shed blood and make sacrifices.
If we don’t do it because we are afraid of danger, then why do we need border guards? Isn’t this the job we do? The more dangerous it is, the more we must persevere. It doesn’t matter if we die, because it is a glorious death and we protect it.
leaving behind 1.4 billion people.
Today I set an example and patrolled around. I wonder which young officer will dare to delay coming here in the future. The more afraid you are of danger, the more I want you to be the first to go. Fifty years ago, I would have
You must be the first to blow up the bunker with the explosive pack."
As soon as Deputy Commander Chen's words came out, Lin Yi was speechless. Deputy Commander Chen was right. Nowadays, most people are admitted to military academies because of their own beliefs. However, the biggest reason is because being an officer in China is an important task.
A very honorable and safe thing.
As long as there is danger, basically all parents will not allow their sons and daughters to apply for military schools. There are parents who understand the righteousness, but they know better that as parents, they still cannot let their sons and daughters take risks.
It is absolutely right for parents to think this way.
Just like what Deputy Commander Chen just said, if you feel that even the most basic border patrol line is dangerous and tiring, then who would dare to hand this place over to you? Can the motherland and the people rest assured?
You are guarding the first line of defense of the motherland, and you are protecting the safety of the 1.4 billion people behind you. For border guards, shouldn't danger be a daily occurrence?
In fact, there is no need to talk about those parents. When the author went to the border defense line to guard the border these few times, my mother felt very safe. She even asked me during the last meal if you brought some sticks with you when you patrolled.
Just stick) or something like that.
I was shocked by these words at the time. We are guarding the border line. How could we use a weapon with no lethality like a stick? You think it is safe, but we who guard the border line cannot feel safe at all.
As long as you go out, you must form a team of three people, wear helmets and stab-proof clothing, not to mention offensive weapons such as batons and guns, even the arm shields on your arms, just use the two tungsten steel heads on the arm shields to attack violently
You can beat people to death, so how can you patrol with a stick? This doesn't take your own safety seriously.
With this equipment, you don't have to be afraid if you encounter several dangerous people. The most they can use is daggers and knives. The stab-proof clothing and helmets are genuine. Just your dagger and knives will not cause any harm at all.
Needless to say, thermal weapons are almost non-existent. This is not a situation that the militiamen of the Third Network can handle. When they see it, they directly call the border defense company and the border police station. It won't take long to come and arrest the person immediately.
You may be wondering, there are only three of you in a group, can you really cope with the situation? What if there are ten or twenty people coming?
This situation is simply impossible to happen. You don't know how remote the border line is and how many checkpoints you have to pass to get to the border line.
Even if you hike dozens of kilometers through the wilderness, you have already been discovered by hidden cameras. There is no such thing as a group of people arrogantly arriving at the border line without completing any formalities. If you think so, you are too disrespectful.
Take the forces of all sides on the border seriously.
Occasionally, one or two people would show up. When we met them, we would stop them directly and ask for their ID cards, border passes, and epidemic prevention green codes. But if they couldn't get them, we would stop them immediately and notify the brigade and the border police station to pick them up.
If you dare to run away, what will happen will be no joke.
