　　Reporter Li Chun

　　In a certain camp in the southwestern border of China, the military tent at noon is as hot as a sauna, and the coolness of the night makes people "want to cover a quilt."

The officers and soldiers of the First Mobile Squadron of a certain detachment of the Yunnan Armed Police Force have spent hundreds of days in such days as "there are four seasons in one day in the tent.

　　When arriving at the squadron camp, the olive-green military tents mirrored the red land in the southwest.

This is a formed unit with no fixed barracks. Just as Zhang Dongming, the political instructor of the mobile squadron belonging to the squadron, said, the ability to dispatch and arrive quickly at any time corresponds to the name of the "mobile" force.

　　With an in-depth understanding of this force, a reporter from Chinanews.com found that the "mobility" of the first squadron is not only reflected in the "ready opening" of the mobile tents, but also in the flexibility and variety of tasks performed, and that the troops have become "all-rounders" to guard the safety. ".

　　In 2012, Mobile No. 1 Squadron and the public security organs carried out joint comprehensive border management operations.

At around two o'clock in the morning one day, the public security department received an online report saying that a certain drug dealer had fled back to China.

The then platoon leader Guo Haokun led 5 armed police soldiers to a village on the border with the police officers.

The drug dealer reacted fiercely and was attacking his family with a knife.

Guo Haokun and the soldiers rushed into the house to subdue him, and found 20 kilograms of ephedrine from two medicine jars under the bed.

　　In addition to the front line of stability maintenance, Mobile No. 1 Squadron is also fighting at the forefront of flood relief.

　　In July 2014, Shangri-La Shangjiang Township experienced the worst flash flood and mudslide in 70 years.

According to Zhong Shengguo, the former squad leader of the squadron, the soldiers were undergoing shooting training at the time. The troops suddenly assembled and set off immediately after receiving the rescue mission.

They settled in an elementary school that night, had a clear division of relief tasks, and carried tools early the next morning to "find their own way and walk over" between the washed-out road and the landslide.

　　"The scene was shocked. The house was buried to the roof and a village was gone." After arriving in the disaster area, the armed police officers and soldiers began to transfer the trapped people, rescue supplies, food, livestock, and motorcycles "all planed by hand."

Lu Xueliang still remembered being soaked in the water in the heavy rain, and the sand flowing into the clothes made his skin hurt.

"I slept on the side of the dam at night, and the sound of the flood was very loud."

　　For eight days and nights, the armed police officers and soldiers transferred a total of 185 people affected by the disaster, rushed to transport 22.5 tons of grain, 102 livestock, more than 800 sandbags, strengthened the river embankment 3 kilometers, and set up 20 disaster relief tents.

The local people sent baskets of eggs to express their gratitude to the people's soldiers.

　　"The standard of doing work reflects the combat effectiveness of the troops." This view of Lu Xueliang is not only reflected in the hardships and dangers of the armed police soldiers in fighting floods, but also in the temptations and threats they deal with during customs duties.

　　In 2016, the squadron went to Shenzhen Customs to perform duties.

One day, a "water guest" found Lu Xueliang who was on duty, and forced the fortress to give him a lot of Hong Kong dollars.

"I have something confiscated by the customs. Take it for me." Seeing that Lu Xueliang refused to accept it, he said that he would also give out 20,000 Hong Kong dollars to "express gratitude."

"I grabbed his hand directly and sent him to the customs police." Lu Xueliang recalled that such temptations often appeared during duty, and were "relentlessly rejected" by the armed police soldiers.

　　Stationing in training to maintain stability, rescue and disaster relief, customs duty, and anti-terrorism handling... In Zhang Dongming's view, the special feature of Mobile No. 1 Squadron is that it "reserves soldiers for a thousand days and uses them for a thousand days."

"All-time, all-regional, fast arrival, and implementation of urgent, difficult, dangerous and heavy tasks." The diversified and changeable nature of the tasks created the squadron's "flowing barracks and iron-struck soldiers."

　　The captain Zhao Tao explained that the rapid actions of the troops can only represent "movement", and "mechanism" is embodied in the soldiers' ability to be prepared and adapt to changes at any time.

Exploring the reasons for being capable of diversified tasks, he pointed out that the inheritance of the squadron's "steel knife spirit" is the primary factor.

　　The history of Mobile No. 1 Squadron can be traced back to the war of war against Japan.

In a major military operation in February 1979, the army was awarded the honorary title of "Steel Knife Company" by the Central Military Commission for its military exploits.

In the 83 years since its establishment, the unit has undergone 9 major adjustments. 237 pennants and medals have been "mobile" with the unit and displayed in the military account of honor in the barracks.

　　The honor a unit receives is not only a recognition of its combat effectiveness, but also a reminder of capacity building.

The current squadron leader Wang Xuehai believes that it is precisely because of this self-motivatedness that the squadron has stricter systems and higher standards in all aspects, and on the basis of training excellent abilities, it becomes a "all-rounder" who protects the safety of the party.

　　In 2018, Mobile No. 1 Squadron once again experienced a "reconstructed" structural adjustment, and its own construction also gained new spiritual connotations.

Wang Xuehai told reporters from Chinanews.com that in addition to daring to fight and winning, the "steel knife spirit" should also include the "conviction of victory" when starting from scratch, the "stamina" when developing and growing, and the "more fighting and courage" when facing setbacks.

He called it "the new'Steel Knife Spirit'".
