CCTV News:In the snowy area in the middle of winter, the wind is cold and biting, and the oxygen content in the air is extremely low.
"gambara, gambara, stretch out your hand to grasp the day; There is no grass on the ground, and the wind blows the stones and runs; Breathe in three steps and wear a cotton-padded jacket all the year round. " During the Spring Festival, officers and men who stood at the gambara Hero Radar Station at an altitude of 5,374 meters have always been the softest concern of Luo Jun, the political commissar of the command post? How do they celebrate the holidays? Are they okay?
On New Year’s Day, the sound of firecrackers is full of joy and peace everywhere. In order to convey the concern of the Party Committee of the command post to the hearts of officers and men as early as possible, Luo Jun and his party boarded the bus and headed for gambara before dawn. On the winding Panshan Highway, as the steep peaks are left behind, the eardrums swell, slight headache, asthma and other physical changes seem to remind us all the time that 5374 meters is not only a symbol of geographical significance, but also a baptism of spirit and soul.
Over the crystal clear Yangzhuoyong Lake, a huge radar windbreak is clearly visible at the top of gambara. The car took the last big bend and finally boarded gambara. In front of a China "rooster" map made of cans and stones, the officers and men who were not on duty had already lined up neatly. The leaders of the command post shook hands with the officers and men, tied holy Hada for them, sent condolences, and asked about holiday life and combat readiness arrangements. Seeing the purple faces and chapped lips of officers and men, Luo Jun said emotionally: gambara is not bitter, but willing to suffer for the country. Gambara tired not tired, willing to tired for the country. Sticking to the "forbidden zone of life" has left the most beautiful traces on you, but it is also the most beautiful chapter of youth. We are very proud of our motherland … …
Arriving at the rest area, Zhang Haiqiao, the platoon leader on duty at the position, briefly introduced the position: gambara radar position was built on the mountain with an altitude of 5,374 meters, which is the highest manned radar station in the world. The lowest temperature in winter is more than 30 degrees Celsius below zero, and the oxygen content is only 40% of that in the mainland. Strong winds of magnitude 10 or above continue all the year round. However, this is an "air traffic control station" for all military and civil aviation in Tibet, and it is also an "air alert room" for implementing air monitoring and maintaining the security of the motherland’s airspace. It is precisely because of its extremely important strategic position that despite the extremely harsh climatic conditions, successive gambara officers and men fought against anoxia, sandstorm and severe cold here, forged the spirit of gambara with their youth and wisdom, blood and life, and also trained a group of gambara officers and men who are unyielding and indomitable. In 1993, the then radar company was awarded the honorary title of "gambara Model Radar Company" by the Air Force, and in 1994, it was awarded the honorary title of "gambara Hero Radar Station" by the Central Military Commission.
Looking at these hard-won honors, the condolence group climbed to the radar position along the 84 steps. With the rising altitude, the beating heart seemed to be in danger of jumping out of the body at any time. "Today’s weather is ok. When it comes to this season, the wind, sand, hail and rain and snow all over the sky are really ups and downs, and all kinds of flavors are available." Zhao Mingqiang, a four-level master sergeant and radar operator, said endlessly, "The hardware environment in gambara has changed a lot in recent years, but factors such as high altitude, lack of oxygen, ultraviolet rays, snow and ice will never change." Yes, the honorable gambara radar soldier, we just climbed the 84 steps, but the officers and men on duty don’t know how many times to climb every day! I believe this is the power of faith given to you by the motherland.
Cold ice, hot blood. Climb to the top of the vast snow-capped mountains. In this place closer to the sun, Ran Ran rises with the loud sound of "raising the national flag" and the bright five-star red flag reflecting the blazing sun. That touch of red, burning like a fire, condensed into a dazzling flower in the snowy mountain, telling loyalty and faith over 5374 meters above sea level. Passion blooms in my heart and blood boils in my heart. Everyone raises their right hands, salutes the national flag fluttering in the wind, salutes the great motherland that we guard day and night, and wishes the great motherland a happy New Year and a good luck in the Year of the Rooster.
"We have come and gone, but they have been sticking to it." The sunshine on the plateau spilled to the snowy mountain top in the distance. On the hillside in front of the radar position, a high-rise Mani pile was particularly eye-catching. "This is the tomb of Zhang Zaian, the first batch of radar soldiers who entered Tibet in the Republic and the deputy head of a certain regiment of the former radar. He personally participated in the survey and construction of more than 10 radar stations, including gambara, witnessed the arduous course of Tibet radar soldiers from scratch and from weak to strong, and contributed the best 20 years of his life to the snowy area. In July 2013, in accordance with his last wish, his son Zhang Jun took his family of seven and held his father’s ashes, and buried his loyal bones in gambara Mountain along the route he entered Tibet in that year. Before his death, he dedicated his youth to the snowy plateau; Now, he sticks to his beloved career and position day and night. " The accompanying instructor of gambara Radar Station introduced and wiped the already wet eyes.
Touching is spreading, and warmth is rising. At the moment of parting, the condolence group took everyone to relive the spirit of gambara, which is "willing to endure hardships, contribute silently, fulfill their duties and work hard". The car began to slowly leave the position, but the hands that the officers and men kept waving were reluctant to let go. "I know that they are reluctant to give up. They also have wives and children, and they are homesick. But when the five-star red flag flies high above 5,374 meters, they are more responsible and responsible. This is the mission of the soldiers." Luo Jun said with emotion. (Text/Chen Wei, Qian Xiaojun)
