The old army camel carried the border guards out of the sandstorm. How are army camels "tamed"?

On the border of Wan Li, there are a group of "silent comrades-in-arms". They are loyal partners who accompany officers and men to patrol, and they are also close comrades-in-arms who charge with officers and men on the training ground. Today, we specially select the stories of military camels, yaks, military dogs, military horses and officers and men to feel this special "comrade-in-arms friendship".

Yifeng camel is a "warm man" in the vast Alashan desert, which is endless and endless. The officers and men of a border brigade of the Army in the northern theater stationed here are riding camels and marching stubbornly along the border.

Walking in the front are the company commander, the fourth-class sergeant Fan and his camel. When patrolling, the red flame is unhurried and has amazing endurance. When the storm raged, it always held its head high and stood still for a long time, quite like a king. "We all think Chi Yan is a' warm man'." Li, a senior noncommissioned officer, said with deep affection, "It is indispensable to help officers and men successfully avoid sandstorms and find water and roads many times."

From August, 2065438 to August, 2005, Chiyan was in the depilation period and was free-range in the Gobi Desert. One morning, a tourist turned to the company for help to find his missing companion, and the company commander immediately organized the officers and men of the whole company to carry out a dragnet inspection. I finally found a person in the vast desert, and there was no result for two days and one night.

It was not until the evening of the third day that the officers and men found the unconscious tourists under a "sandbag". When the officers and men gathered near, the "sandbag" suddenly stood up and shook off a whole body of dust-it was red! It turned out that Chi Yan had already discovered this tourist. In order to protect him from dust and cold, Yan lay down and built a "wall of life".

The year before last, when the officers and men of the company finished camel training in the desert and prepared to return, sandstorms swept through. Suddenly the yellow sand was all over the sky, and the officers and men could not walk steadily and could not see clearly. They can only tie people to the camel's back with ropes and walk hard.

In such weather conditions, camels are definitely "navigators" in the desert. They have eyelash-like eyes and nostrils that can be opened and closed at will, ensuring that they can accurately identify the direction in the desert and will not get lost. As a camel, Chiyan always walks at the front of the team, bringing the officers and men back to the camp safely.

Last winter, Mr. Li was about to retire from the army and handed over Chiyan to Fan, the fourth-class sergeant. Chi Yan seems to know that his old comrade-in-arms are leaving, and he won't eat or drink for a few days. Until the school leader Li said, "You are an army camel. You should guard the frontier and not have a temper. " Red flame seems to understand, and a few tears shed from the corner of her eyes. Soon, Chi Yan lay meekly beside Fan, as if she had promised Li, the school leader, that she would continue to complete the mission of the other camel.

Now, every time he patrols, Chi Yan Dou walks at the front of the team, leading the officers and men to complete the task again and again.

Riding yaks to patrol the frontier defense company of Hongqi Lafu in the Southern Xinjiang Military Region, at an altitude of 4,300 meters, has a patrol line of Wufu Langgou, which is called the "Valley of Death" by officers and men because of its deep valley, criss-crossing ravines, rocky mountains and glaciers.

The patrol roads here are very dangerous, and the military horses are easily frightened. However, yak has stable personality, long hair thickness, cold tolerance and hypoxia tolerance. They are the most ideal means of transportation to help officers and men cross the Five Blessingg Langgou. Therefore, Five Blessingg Langgou is also the only frontier defense line that can only be patrolled by yaks.

In the company, every officer and soldier knows the story of yak white hero. Because it saved the life of Staff Sergeant Liu Zongxin and finally died on the patrol road, it is a hero in everyone's heart.

Liu Zongxin still remembers the story of a white hero who risked his life to forget his death. On that patrol, the road was extremely rugged, and only yaks stepped on a narrow path on the cliff for the team to squeeze sideways.

The top of the head is a slope of more than 60 degrees, and the foot is a cliff 100 meters high. The gravel on the cliff is small and loose. On the edge of a relatively gentle cliff, the white hero's foot slipped, causing Liu Zongxin, who was riding on his back, to accidentally roll over.

In do or die, Liu Zongxin clung to the reins. Seeing this, the white hero kept calm, took two steps, paused, and then steadily dragged Liu Zongxin up the steep slope, panting. Finally, with the joint efforts of comrades, Liu Zongxin turned the corner.

But something unfortunate happened. Less than 3 kilometers away from this point, the hero in white suffered an unfortunate fracture of his spine due to heavy materials and overwork. The feeling be nasty under, comrades-in-arms quickly take out heavy objects from it, but Rasini, a militia linesman patrolling together, is experienced, and he knows that the hero in white is dying.

Wild mountains, dozens of kilometers away, the hero in white is unable to return. Finally, everyone agreed to leave the hero in white in a place with water, say goodbye with tears and continue on the road. "I didn't expect this to be the last time with the white hero." Speaking of this scene, Liu Zongxin was still in tears. However, the officers and men did not forget the hero in white. Every time they patrol here, they will hold a ceremony at the place of sacrifice, put some flowers and weeds, give a military salute and remember this loyal and honest "silent comrade-in-arms."

? One man, one dog, one company of the Army Frontier Brigade in the war zone in the south of Henan Province, has a military dog named Khaki. During its nearly 10 years of service, it and officers and men often patrol the defense line along the Nujiang River, which stretches for hundreds of miles. There are cliffs, rapids, landslides and mudslides along the way, but no matter what danger, Khaki always stays close to his comrades.

On the way to patrol, the most terrible thing is to sneak across the river. Once on the Nujiang River, there is no suspension bridge across the river now. If you want to cross the river, you can only rely on the rope. On the 100-meter-wide river, life is completely entrusted to a steel cable and a pulley.

On that occasion, Liu Siqi, who was still a military dog guide at that time, set out in khaki. Facing the swift river, Liu Siqi carefully tied himself and khaki with a backpack rope. When crossing the river, no one dares to look down at the river under his feet. Jiang Feng slaps his face, accompanied by the squeaking friction of pulleys, which tests people's psychological quality.

When there were still 3 meters offshore, the pulley suddenly derailed from the steel cable, and Liu Siqi and Khaki were thrown up. Looking at the twisted screws, Liu Siqi didn't think much, quickly took out a dagger, cut the rope of his backpack with khaki, and threw khaki on the river bank. Fortunately, the comrades quickly gave Liu Siqi a long pole, which turned the tables. At the moment of landing, Khaki ran to Liu Siqi's arms.

On the dangerous patrol road, Khaki and the officers and men have been waiting for each other. One night, the patrol camped in a bamboo forest clearing. At 2 o'clock in the morning, Khaki suddenly heard a noise in the bamboo forest, and a black shadow was slowly approaching the patrol. Khaki immediately shouted and rushed over. It turned out to be a black bear.

The officers and men woke up when they heard Khaki's cry and drove the black bear away together. At this time, everyone discovered that Khaki's head was injured in the fight and was bleeding. Tigerson Yang, the medic, immediately took out the medicine box and bandaged Khaki. Everyone said, "it's a good thing there are khakis tonight, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!" "

In 20 17, Khaki retired from the army, and his task of "supporting the elderly" was handed over to Zhu Guangpeng, a clerk. Length of military service's khaki in recent 10 years can be regarded as Zhu Guangpeng's "old monitor". Treating this "old squad leader", Zhu Guangpeng is meticulous. Khaki can't eat salt, so Zhu Guangpeng scalded it with boiling water before serving. Khaki likes oranges. Every night after dinner, I can see Khaki following Zhu Guangpeng, waiting for him to peel oranges. In the sunset, one person and one dog, tandem, quiet and beautiful.

Cross the snow

Stepping through the snow and enlisting in 200 1, a brigade of the 76 th Army Guoluo cavalry company was stationed. Because it is covered with purple fur and its hooves are as white as snow, the officers and men named it Treading Snow.

Walking in the snow is definitely the best horse in the company. It can do all kinds of cavalry training courses, such as jumping over obstacles, stabbing and lying down, but not everyone can control it. Sergeant Jing Luyuan has a deep understanding of this. 20 13, after Jing Luyuan joined the company, the company assigned him to walk in the snow. Because Jingluyuan had a horse in his family, he was confident in driving in the snow. Unexpectedly, on the first day of contact with snow, he suffered setbacks.

The first training course is getting on and off the horse. Hearing the command to mount the horse, Jingluyuan stepped on the stirrup with his left foot and grabbed the saddle with both hands. Before he got on the horse, he tossed his head around in the snow and threw Jingluyuan off the horse, totally uncooperative.

When the monitor saw the lost Jingluyuan, he came up to him and said, "If you want to listen to you through the snow, you must establish feelings with the snow, and you can be a man and a woman in training."

Jingluyuan kept the monitor's words in mind, often applied for going to the stable, fed the grass and combed his hair, and slowly established a deep affection with him. "Once I give charcoal in the snow, I will really treat you as a comrade-in-arms." Jingluyuan said knowingly. Once it snowed heavily, Jingluyuan forgot to wear gloves when he went out to release his horse, and his hands were red with cold. When he saw it through the snow, he ran to Jingluyuan and licked his red hand gently, as if to say, "Brother, you have worked hard!" "

This deeply touched Jingluyuan. He thinks stepping in the snow is spiritual and cares more about it. Wherever he goes, he is always full of his favorite food.

At the end of the year, Jingluyuan stood in the queue holding snow.

Seeing that his soldiers were "defeated in Maicheng" one by one, Jing Luyuan couldn't help but sweat. He held his head, kissed it, and then went to the training ground. "Drive!" Jingluyuan set off through the snow. In the assessment, the most difficult thing is riding a horse across the ditch. If you are not careful, you will be upset. After successfully crossing the wooden bridge, I saw a trench nearly two meters ahead. Jingluyuan's legs clamped the horse's belly and gently lifted the reins to signal snow. Walking through the snow, I got the message, followed the trend, forced my hind legs, jumped my front hoof, jumped over the ditch and drew a perfect arc in the air.

The referee gave excellent results and the comrades gave warm applause. Jingluyuan was so happy that he grabbed a handful of corn from his pocket and fed it to tread on the snow. He patted it gently and said, "Well done, old chap!" " "

Because of his outstanding military training achievements, Jing Luyuan became the monitor in the second year. He knows that half of the credit is to walk through the snow.
