They all had frostbite marks, or rather, chilblains, on their faces.
Those were natural frostbite caused by patrolling in icy and snowy weather year-round.
Although it can be restored when spring arrives and flowers bloom, it will leave indelible marks.
Border defense is tough, especially for border guards in the Northeast and Northwest.
Soldiers are the most beloved people in the country.
Then the border guards in both places are the most lovable people!
After inspecting Lin Feng and his companion, and finding no weapons or contraband, it was determined that they were not carrying any.
The second-class sergeant stared in surprise: "You say you're soldiers from the Southeast Theater Command, do you have any identification to prove it?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "Due to special circumstances, we cannot bring our identification documents."
"But you can verify it by number, it's not difficult, is it?"
No problem, the second-level sergeant immediately took out the network walkie-talkie and made a call.
"Reporting to the platoon leader, we've caught two people who illegally crossed the border."
"A man and a woman, both very young."
"They claim to be active-duty soldiers from the Southeast Theater Command. Please provide instructions."
The second-class sergeant then looked at Lin Feng and An Ran, "Please state your respective identification numbers."
“XXXXXX…”
After waiting for about three or four minutes, a positive reply came through the walkie-talkie.
After saluting, the second-class sergeant felt a great deal of doubt.
"Major Lin, Lieutenant An, one of you works in the logistics warehouse, and the other in the theater secretariat."
"But you came back from Russia by circumventing the Great Firewall, what's going on?"
"Haha, it's a special case!"
Special mission, no special explanation possible...
Lin Feng could only change the subject: "Comrade, it's getting dark, we need to find a place to stay."
The second-class sergeant slapped his forehead: "I'm sorry, officers, it was my oversight."
"This way, please. The outpost is just two kilometers away."
No problem, Lin Feng and his companion followed the four border guards.
During the journey, Lin Feng learned some information.
The second-class sergeant's name is Li Dexin. He is a seven-year veteran who will retire from active service this September.
During his seven years of military service on the border,
He received one collective second-class merit and two individual third-class merits.
Limited by his primary school education, he was unable to be promoted and was about to bid a tearful farewell to his beloved army.
"Commander, the outpost is just ahead."
"I see it. The area of the base is quite large."
Li Dexin nodded: "My border defense platoon has a total of 37 people and two military dogs."
"With the stored military equipment, supplies, and other necessities, there wouldn't be enough housing if there weren't enough rooms!"
As he spoke, Li Dexin turned to look at An Ran, his expression somewhat embarrassed.
"Sir, the outpost is at full strength and there are simply no rooms available for the female soldiers."
Upon hearing this, Lin Feng was slightly surprised: "Have female soldiers never come to the outpost before?"
“There will be visiting teams during holidays, but they don’t live at the outpost.”
So that's how it is; I can imagine it.
Raymond Lam nodded: "It's okay, we're a couple, one bed is enough."
"Then... I'm sorry to have troubled you two leaders!"
The conditions are what they are, so there's no point in complaining.
We two are just passing monks; the real sufferers are the border guards.
They guard the border of their motherland day and night.
They lived in the worst housing, ate the worst food, and their allowances and benefits weren't much higher than others.
They face the real northeast wind year-round.
Aside from the professional joint pain, you can't take anything with you from your military career!
Who is the one who is wronged?
Without further ado, we arrived at the outpost.
Platoon leader Lü Jianbo led his entire platoon, including two military dogs, in a warm welcome.
"Greetings, sir. I am Lü Jianbo, the 17th platoon leader of the border defense."
"Comrades, you've worked hard, we salute you."
Although I wasn't wearing a military uniform, I couldn't neglect the proper etiquette; I had to express my heartfelt respect.
"Wang Wang..."
The two military dogs are medium-sized border dogs with black and white markings.
At this moment, they circled around Lin Feng, showing their affection and tenderness.
This scene was strange, but no one thought much of it or took it to heart.

(Thanks to 'DouDou' for the monthly pass, the reward, and the encouragement to update! Respectfully yours!)
"It's getting dark and colder, sir. Please come into the outpost."
"It's freezing cold, comrades, let's go back to the station together."
Perhaps because it was a post that had been deserted for so long, the soldiers were very enthusiastic and curious.
Well, as he was ushered in, Lin Feng took the opportunity to observe the entire outpost.
There are a total of eight rooms, forming a diamond-shaped building.
Four rooms were used for living, one served as a kitchen and dining room, and one was an armory.
One room is a food storage room, and the other is a study and entertainment room.
"The second shift is on duty, and the cooks are starting a fire to cook the remaining half of the sheep."
As he spoke, Lü Jianbo glanced at Lin Feng, his expression awkward.
"Sir, the conditions at the outpost are limited, please don't complain."
Lin Feng solemnly replied, "I know how tough border defense is, and I have no complaints."
"To reiterate: We have no requirements regarding food and accommodation."
"Well, I need to use the military telephone line to contact my superiors first."
The next second, Lü Jianbo pointed to the telephone on the table.
"Please make yourself at home, sir. We'll excuse ourselves..."
"Wait a minute," Lin Feng interrupted, "Comrade Jianbo, what does the outpost lack most?"
Without a doubt, Lü Jianbo understood and had thought of it, so he scratched his head sheepishly.
"Due to inconvenient transportation, supplies are often interrupted."
"Therefore, the outpost lacked vegetables and daily necessities, including personal toiletries."
"Okay," Lin Feng nodded, "Please excuse us for a moment, everyone."
No problem, Lü Jianbo immediately led several veterans out of the room.
Without hesitation, Lin Feng picked up the phone on the table and dialed the number.
"I am He Zhijun, who is this?"
"Reporting to the captain, this is Qinglong. Rescue mission complete."
On the phone, He Zhijun was panting heavily: "Seven days have passed, and I've finally received your message."
"Military phone, where are you right now?"
"Report: We received a warm welcome at the Northeast Border Post 017."
As he spoke, Lin Feng's solemn expression turned into a smile.
"Please rest assured, Captain, the personnel and intelligence will be brought back unharmed."
With no one injured and the intelligence intact, He Zhijun felt a great weight lifted from his shoulders.
