The number of mosquito killers per day can fill more than 20 military washbasins.
In the past, officers and soldiers conducted outdoor training in the summer, and after being bitten by mosquitoes, there will be pus, shock, and wound ulcers. Now, the company has built a new indoor training ground.
Although it was summer, officers and soldiers were still wearing thick anti-mosquito clothes, mosquito caps and mosquito gloves when they were on duty. They will also carry "three treasures" with them: Fengyoujing, mosquito repellent and anti-mosquito gauze.
