January 13
A blizzard
Swept the Tacheng area of Xinjiang
Grade 8 gale mixed with flying snow
Raging across the northern border
A border defense regiment of the Xinjiang Military Region
Officers and Soldiers of the Border Guard Company
In the low temperature of -20℃
Against the wind and snow and embarked on the patrol road
Along the way
The raging wind and snow kept blowing on the faces of officers and soldiers
The snow is nearly one meter thick
Every step forward is difficult for officers and soldiers
Visibility drops to about 20 meters
To complete the patrol mission
They hold hands, side by side
With a tenacious will and faith to move forward
Successfully reached the patrol point
Accompanying the iceberg all year round
With the wind and snow
They use practical actions
Defend the home and the country, maintain peace
At the border of the motherland
Chinese soldiers stayed
A silhouette standing as a flag
How strong is the wind in Alashankou?
Border officers and soldiers can't fall back
Perennial strong winds in Alashankou, Xinjiang
Strong winds above level 8 blow for more than 180 days each year
Alashankou border defense company stationed here
Known as "The First Whistle"
Patrol on a windy day
For every officer and soldier of Alashankou border defense company
All normal
-40℃
West Border Guard Officers and Soldiers on Patrol in Extreme Cold Conditions
These two days
The Altay region of Xinjiang, known for its cold
Ushered in a new round of cold
The temperature in some areas dropped to -40℃
The officers and soldiers of the Takshkin Border Defense Company stationed here
Braving the bitter cold and embarking on a patrol road in the snow
Rocky beach and dead branches covered by snow
Easy to hurt horse's feet
Everyone is nervous and passes carefully
In the cold wind
The officers and soldiers sang their most familiar song
Leave their firm footprints on the ridge
They will carry the hardships and dangers
Just for the peace and happiness behind
pay tribute
"Mobile Boundary Marker" on the Border Line
