"Old Zhao, do you want to stand up?"

"I'll take a picture of you. It's not easy for us to come here once. We can keep it as a souvenir in the future."

Faced with Chen Mingzhi's proposal, Zhao Weihong refused without any hesitation and refused very firmly.

"forget it."

"I know it myself. It's good enough that I've been here."

"Why should I leave something behind to let others know that I have been here?"

After saying that, Zhao Weihong did not look at Chen Mingzhi who was in shock, but continued to stare at the stone tablet in front of him in silence, while observing the surrounding terrain.

If we use military terms to describe it, the location of this sentry tower is definitely a "battlefield for military strategists."

The towering main peak extends slantingly into the distance, eventually forming a cliff of nearly ninety degrees below the sentry tower, which is a natural barrier.

Looking out from the main peak, you can see the surrounding terrain at a glance.

If an artillery position is set up here, the artillery fire will be enough to suppress any target within a radius of 100 kilometers, making it unable to raise its head.

However, even Zhao Weihong, who had just arrived, was aware of the strategic value of the Chagula outpost.

It is also clear that there are enemies outside the border who may attack the Chagula outpost.

Thinking of this, Zhao Weihong's eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly asked Chen Mingzhi beside him.

"Old Chen, I want to take a look inside the sentry tower."

"convenient?"

"Convenient! Of course it's convenient!"

Hearing this, Chen Mingzhi, who had been in a daze just now, finally came back to his senses and immediately led Zhao Weihong towards the sentry tower.

“DuangDuangDuang!”

Chen Mingzhi slammed the heavy iron door, making a loud noise, and shouted with a little excitement.

"Open the door! There are guests in the company!"

Accompanied by a chaotic sound of metal collision, a moment later, the hydraulic steel door that was more than ten centimeters thick was slowly opened from the inside of the sentry tower.

"Instructor! Why are you here?"

The person who opened the door was a new recruit with a military rank on his shoulder.

Perhaps because he had only been there for a short time, the harsh living conditions at the Chagula outpost had not left much of a mark on him, allowing him to still possess the vigor and vitality that a young man of his age should have.

And that pair of shiny black pupils, at this moment flashing with excitement, were looking past Chen Mingzhi in front of him, quietly at Zhao Weihong, whose face was as gloomy as water, not far away.

Maybe he felt the gaze of the new recruits.

Zhao Weihong, who was looking at the internal structure of the sentry tower, turned his head and looked at the budding recruit, then nodded with a smile.

In response, he received a warm smile that looked like a blooming flower.

"You little brat, you only know how to laugh foolishly. You forgot all about discipline!"

Pretending to be angry, Chen Mingzhi rubbed the recruit's head, then looked at Zhao Weihong and spoke with a hint of apology.

"Old Zhao, we don't have many visitors here."

"This kid is a little excited, he doesn't even know how to bark!"

The words fell.

The recruit, who was originally very excited, suddenly showed a somewhat annoyed expression, as if he felt very regretful for "embarrassing" the instructor.

Looking at this new recruit whose thoughts and ideas were written all over his face, Zhao Weihong seemed to see herself when she first joined the army.

"It's out of the way."

Zhao Weihong pursed her lips, took the initiative to step forward and extended her right hand to the recruit.

"Comrade, it's an honor to meet you."

Faced with Zhao Weihong's sudden enthusiastic behavior, the new recruit who had never seen any big scenes was a little stunned.

"Snapped!"

"What are you standing there for, little brat?"

Although Chen Mingzhi's big fight was not very powerful, the recruit still cooperated very well and showed a grinning expression, then he held Zhao Weihong's hand with some trepidation.

Feeling the rough touch that is extremely similar to my own.

Zhao Weihong didn't say anything, but just held the new recruit's hand tightly and shook it vigorously, as if expressing some emotion surging in her heart.

Chen Mingzhi, who was standing nearby, saw all of this, and his gaze towards Zhao Weihong became increasingly subtle.

From the first moment he saw Zhao Weihong, Chen Mingzhi was very confused.

I don’t understand why Zhao Weihong, who has become famous in recent years, would take the initiative to come to this “wild land” where even rabbits don’t shit.

Even Chen Mingzhi considered it.

Is Zhao Weihong's trip just a "show trip"? At least she can add a very important resume to her file.

But as I got to know Zhao Weihong better, especially after seeing him shaking hands with the new recruits.

The last bit of doubt in Chen Mingzhi's heart also disappeared.

Although I still don’t understand what Zhao Weihong’s purpose is.

But Chen Mingzhi was certain that Zhao Weihong was a comrade who shared the same beliefs as him, a comrade who could be trusted with his life and death on the battlefield.

This is enough.

"Instructor."

Taking advantage of the time when Zhao Weihong was shaking hands with the new recruits.

Inside the guardhouse, two other soldiers who were not on duty at the moment came up to Zhao Weihong and the other man.

Both of them are non-commissioned officers, one in the first term and the other in the third term.

Judging from his facial features, if it weren't for the military rank on his shoulders, the third-term non-commissioned officer would have looked like a man in his 40s or 50s. His skin color was an extremely rare "soy sauce color", which made people particularly curious about what he had experienced during these years at the Chagula outpost.

After a few simple greetings, Zhao Weihong finally entered the watchtower standing on the top of the mountain.

Seriously speaking, this watchtower looks more like a bunker.

Whether it is the hydraulic door at the entrance or the outer shell made of reinforced concrete, both give this watchtower extremely strong defensive properties.

Zhao Weihong even saw a green old-fashioned radio and a landline phone next to it in the corner of the first floor of the sentry tower.

If we count the walkie-talkies worn on the chests of the third-term non-commissioned officers, this watchtower has three ways to communicate with the outside world.

The second floor of the sentry tower is a very standard "duty area."

Through the circular glass, soldiers on duty can have a panoramic view of the nearby situation without leaving the sentry tower.

But Zhao Weihong looked left and right, but didn't see the "firepower point" that a bunker should have.

If any emergency really occurred, such a "defensive but not attacking" sentry tower would sooner or later be overwhelmed by enemy artillery fire no matter how strong it was.

With doubts in mind, Zhao Weihong found Chen Mingzhi.

The answer given by Chen Mingzhi made Zhao Weihong fall into silence again.

"Firepower point? What do you need that for?"

"Old Zhao, I wonder if you have discovered it."

"The only weapons our unit is equipped with are the Type 81 rifles in your and my hands!"

Patting the Type 81 rifle hanging on his chest, Chen Mingzhi continued in a very proud tone.

"With this, self-protection won't be a problem!"

"Even if other guys have it, it's useless!"

"We are surrounded by enemies on three sides. If someone really wants to attack us, we will definitely not be able to defend ourselves even if we plan intentionally or not." "All the officers and soldiers at our outpost can do is to hold on for half an hour after discovering the enemy!"

"In five minutes, the remaining personnel stationed at the foot of the mountain will be able to reach the sentry tower."

"In fifteen minutes, the first batch of emergency forces will be assembled and rushing towards us!"

"In half an hour, the artillery fire supporting us will be able to directly hit the heads of those bastards on the opposite side!"

At this point, Chen Mingzhi's tone gradually became serious, with a hint of determination to disregard life and death!
"Old Zhao, after hearing this, you should understand."

"The mission of our outpost has never been to keep the enemy out of the country."

Chen Mingzhi looked straight into Zhao Weihong's eyes and told her that every officer and soldier at the Chagula outpost had already made up their minds when they first arrived here!

"Instead, after discovering the enemy, we sent the message out and tried every possible means."

"Buy half an hour of reaction time for the large force in the rear!"

Although Chen Mingzhi did not say it directly.

But Zhao Weihong still heard it.

Chen Mingzhi's "try every possible means" also includes the lives of all officers and soldiers at the Chagula outpost!
When the enemy sets foot on the land of Yan State.

They will rely on the sentry tower and the nearby terrain, using their only light weapon - the Type 81 rifle, to engage in an endless battle with the enemy who may have light and heavy firepower, or even armored cover and artillery support, until the last moment of their lives!
This is the mission of the officers and soldiers of the Chagula outpost, and it is also the meaning of their standing in this barren land!
distance.

The mountains are still majestic.

Zhao Weihong stood alone in front of the window, frowning and smiling, thinking about how she could survive in such a difficult environment with all her studies and hard work.
Come in handy.

before dinner.

The company commander of the Chagula outpost led his team back to the outpost.

In fact, there are many places of strategic importance near the main peak of Chagula, which are the major "mountain passes" mentioned by Chen Mingzhi.

The main peak of Chagula is only the most dangerous and representative one among them.

The remaining areas cannot be left alone.

The task of patrolling these mountain passes fell on the officers and soldiers of the Chagula outpost.

Every morning, five soldiers would go to the sentry tower to replace their comrades who had been stationed at the top of the mountain for a day and a night.

The remaining soldiers in the outpost cannot sit idle either.

After breakfast, we set out to inspect the major mountain passes.

The altitudes of these mountain passes are much higher than that of the Chagula Outpost, and each one is more dangerous than the other.

Snow-covered rocks, bottomless ice cracks, steep and slippery slopes.
Since the establishment of the Chagula outpost, more than a dozen officers and soldiers have died on the top of the snow-capped mountains with their passion and ideals.

The more you know.

Zhao Weihong became even more silent.

Especially after following the officers and soldiers at the outpost and patrolling several major mountain passes.

Zhao Weihong’s desire to “solve the problem” reached its peak!

Almost every night.

When Zhao Weihong had trouble falling asleep due to the high altitude, he would rack his brains to think about what use the information and synthesis theories he had learned would be in the Chagula outpost!
The problems he was thinking about seemed "small."

But the "ambition" behind the problem is extremely grand!
Zhao Weihong didn't want her hard work to become a mere showpiece.

But no matter whether it is the most elite troops on the front line or the border outposts standing in remote areas, they can all benefit from Zhao Weihong's research and hard work!
Not to mention.

From the very beginning, what Zhao Weihong studied was a complete information system!

If the research results cannot be implemented at the grassroots level, they should be applied at the grassroots level.

How can it be called a “system”?
Unknowingly.

Zhao Weihong set himself another ambitious and difficult goal.

Because the situations of various grassroots units are different.

This is especially true for the Chagula outpost, a remote and difficult unit.

Different environments will give rise to different needs.

How to solve these emerging demands in a "systematic" way is a grand topic no less than Zhao Weihong's graduation thesis.

In other words, only when this issue is solved.

Zhao Weihong's graduation thesis is considered complete.

half a month later.

Zhao Weihong left the Chagula outpost.

But his steps are far from stopping.

From the top of the mountains, rushing to the vast Gobi Desert.

Then from the extremely cold land where the snow never melts, we rushed to the southwestern border where the weather is hot all year round.
Zhao Weihong saw different border defense units.

I also saw areas with different conditions but equally difficult and remote conditions.

After a long period of running around, Zhao Weihong looked obviously tired.

But he still did not stop. Instead, he ran even harder despite his tiredness and exhaustion!
Because in this journey that takes you all over the country.

Zhao Weihong’s gains were equally huge!

It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books.

This proverb, which has been passed down from ancient times for thousands of years, is most truly portrayed in Zhao Weihong!

Situations that could not be presented in books appeared intuitively in front of Zhao Weihong.

Problems that Zhao Weihong had never imagined before also appeared in front of Zhao Weihong, waiting for Zhao Weihong to think about and solve them!
At this moment.

Zhao Weihong was extremely grateful that she had chosen this type of internship that no one had ever experienced before.

After this difficult journey, Zhao Weihong has a clearer understanding of the current situation of the Yan State Army!

He understood what the grassroots units needed most at the moment.

I also understand the pain points and problems of grassroots units, where to start and how to solve them!

Zhao Weihong also had a more real understanding of how his hard work should be put to good use!
If he had not gone through this journey, the thesis, which embodies Zhao Weihong's hard work, would have exposed problems in subsequent applications and practice.

Not to mention what kind of evaluation others will give, Zhao Weihong herself will not forgive herself!

After realizing this.

This journey should have been extremely difficult and torturous.

For Zhao Weihong, it has become an extremely "enjoyable" thing.

Although there is no improvement in proficiency, I can't see what I have gained.

But Zhao Weihong can still intuitively feel that she is growing.

Making progress.

After Zhao Weihong finished visiting the last remote unit located in the far north.

Although he has been busy running around for the past six months, his eyes are brighter than ever before.

"teacher."

"I think I can go back to internship."

Next to Zhao Weihong's right hand, there is a newly completed paper.
