After 8 hours of bumps, Medog County is about to arrive, but in the last 3 kilometers, the leaders decided to lead the female soldiers to the camp on foot, so that they can feel the life of Medog's border defense in advance. Because taking Medog Road is a necessary skill for every Medog soldier.
It is said that Tibet is bitter, and the most bitter is Medog. When New China was founded, in order to protect the security of Tibet, the PLA set up guards at various traffic checkpoints in Tibet. Medog border defense was established by the order of 1962. At that time, even many soldiers died because of the height when they climbed the snow-capped mountains.
Medog is also known as "Baimagang", which means "hidden lotus" in Tibetan. Located in the southeast of Tibet, with an average elevation of1.200m.. The terrain is high in the north and low in the south, with steep mountains and deep valleys and vast forests, with a relative height difference of 3000-4000m m. It is dangerous to patrol here.
There are many hidden dangers in this virgin forest, and it often takes several days for border patrol personnel to complete a patrol, with the shortest being 3 days and the longest being 15 days. They need to climb mountains, cross six glaciers, cross eight waterfalls and dozens of cliffs, and deal with snakes, insects, mice and ants in the virgin forest. On this patrol road, injuries are common, and even deaths occur from time to time.
A 24-year-old company monitor was patrolling a steep hillside in the rain and suddenly encountered a mudslide. He struggled to push away his comrades-in-arms, but was washed off the cliff by the mudslide and finally slept here. When the assistant instructor leading the patrol was clearing the way in the forest, he was suddenly attacked by a group of poison bee and was stung all over. The whole person went into direct shock, and the doctor pulled out 7 1 bee sting from him.
Blood-sucking leech is the most common leech on Medog's patrol road. There are three kinds of leeches in Medog: dry leeches, water leeches and parasitic leeches. These vampires hide in every corner of the patrol road, and will be attacked by them if they are not careful, and will be adsorbed on the surface of the human body and greedily suck blood. Even if the soldiers are heavily guarded, they will inevitably sneak up on them and eventually get scarred.
On September 26th, 20 1 1, in order to capture four suspicious people, the company commander led 14 soldiers to ambush in the jungle for seven days, using poisonous mosquitoes and leeches, and all four people were arrested. However, due to being attacked by various poisonous insects in the jungle for a long time, 4 of the officers and men in 15 suffered from diarrhea, 4 from malaria and 4 from cold and fever.
Not only in Tibet, but almost every frontier defense has various dangerous environments. The Beiwan area is located on the north bank of the Irtysh River, at the junction of China and Kazakhstan, and a Beiwan border defense force is stationed. Countless mosquitoes are born here every summer. According to the detection of epidemic prevention department, the number of mosquitoes in Beiwan area can reach per cubic meter 1700, and the number of midges is as high as 3500. We can shoot more than 1000 mosquitoes in a slap. Even in such a harsh environment, border guards and soldiers still insist on going deep into dangerous places and patrolling on time.
The police on duty at the entry-exit frontier inspection station in Wan Ding, Yunnan Province should not only be alert to all kinds of cross-border illegal and criminal activities, but also deal with all kinds of snakes, insects, rats and ants in their daily lives, and they may be bitten if they are not careful. Some time ago, many people were targeted by leeches. Climb on people to suck blood, and it will bleed after a few times. In Honghe, Yunnan, when Zhang Kaiwen, an auxiliary police officer, was on patrol with Jinsan, a horse dog, he met a cobra nearly 2 meters long and blocked their way. Finally, the horse and dog were bitten to death by a snake to save their lives.
Despite the harsh border environment, groups of enthusiastic young people still come here every year to guard the border security of the motherland. After more than an hour's long journey, the new young female soldier finally arrived at the camp. In order to welcome them, the group held a grand welcoming ceremony for them, and took them to visit the team history the next day, so that they could integrate into the new environment better and faster. In a few days, these female soldiers with an average age of less than 25 will start a new life in the frontier.
Medog's patrol road was passed over and over again by generations of border guards. Almost every step is a test of life and death. Since 1963, more than 20 officers and men have given their precious lives on this road. "Defend every inch of the motherland with blood and life" is not just a slogan, but an eternal belief in the hearts of every border guard. Walnut believes that these young female soldiers will do well.
