The company commander wanted to cook noodles for Liao Fan and them, but Liao Fan followed him to the cooking class. In desperation, they had no choice but to take out dry food and pickles!

"Why do you eat this?" Liao Fan picks up the hard flatbread!

"Brother Fan, I am short of water here, and the car carrying water only comes once in ten days, and these waters need to be reasonably arranged, otherwise the soldiers may have no water to drink!"

Everything is lacking in the desert, water is the most critical, and you can't live for a day without water in the desert! The fighters also have to maintain daily patrols and stand guard! They only take a shower once every two months!

Liao Fan broke off a piece of flatbread and put it in his mouth to chew!

"The flatbread is well done, but it's a little toothy!"

The only thing that is not lacking in the desert is sand, and everywhere there is sand on the bodies of the soldiers, on the beds in the barracks, and even in the cooking cauldrons!

"Brother Fan, why don't we make something else to eat?" The company commander felt a little guilty.

"That's good! Lao Tzu is a chicken, and he can't digest it without a little sand! Liao Fan said with a smile.

"We'll eat this tonight and have some boiled water! And do you have any fruit here? ”

Life here is indeed too hard, and surviving under such conditions is a test of people's willpower! There must be complete logistics, without logistics, these soldiers can be tortured to death by this cruel natural environment!

"Yes, under the order of the logistics department, a batch of fresh fruits is delivered every month!"

"A month is too little, and now we don't lack anything, send it once every ten days, send it with water, this logistics is also involved, don't you know how to work around without my order? Huai Yuanliang sent a telegram and told them to deduct a month's salary from the logistics chief of this division and ask him to buy fruits and send them to the outpost! ”

I have to say that if he didn't come to the desert in person, Liao Fan really didn't know what kind of life he was living here! Every day is accompanied by wind and sand, and everything you eat and drink is mixed with sand! If this continues, it will inevitably affect the stomachs of the fighters! Luckily, you can change it every eight months! The rotated company can go to Baotou for repairs!

For dinner, Liao Fan ate sand-mixed flatbread with the soldiers, but today the soldiers were very happy, because Liao Fan came to eat with them! Although the meal did not change, they knew that their commander had not forgotten them, and was still with them through thick and thin!

These soldiers are actually the attitude they want, in this vast Gobi Desert, it seems that they have been forgotten, even as if they never existed on the earth! Sometimes these soldiers are confused, what is the purpose of their stay here! They don't fight the little devils, and even this place doesn't have anything for them to protect! It's like being sent to this place to suffer!

Liao Fan came, although he didn't bring what they liked! But they knew that their commanders had not forgotten about them! As long as their commanders don't forget them, they'll be able to hold out here!

At night, a strong wind blows in the desert! There was a whirring sound outside the barracks, and there were flying sand and rocks everywhere! But there are still soldiers patrolling outside!

Liao Fan couldn't sleep at night, looking out of the dark window, not knowing what he was thinking! Compared with the howling wind outside, there is a stove in the barracks, which is warm and dry, and it doesn't feel cold at all!

"How long will it take for the patrol to return?"

Liao Fan walked out of the barracks and walked to the soldier standing guard outside the barracks, this soldier covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, otherwise such a strong wind mixed with sand and stones would not be able to breathe at all!

"If it was a normal patrol, it should be able to come back in two hours, but today is windy, and it is estimated that it will be about half an hour to an hour late!"

In such weather, you can't say anything for sure! It is possible that the patrol team will not be able to complete the task at all, and build a fortification on the spot to block the wind and sand, and then they will come back when the wind is a little less!

"If the previous patrol is delayed, will the next patrol continue to patrol at the allotted time?"

"Yes, but we can only arrange a maximum of three patrols, and if none of these three patrols come back, we can only wait until dawn to find them!"

"Okay, I see, you keep standing guard!"

When Liao Fan returned to the barracks, he wanted to light the lamp and look at something, but he was afraid of disturbing the soldiers' sleep, so he had to sit aside and think quietly! It wasn't until there was movement outside that Liao Fan confirmed that the patrol team had returned safely!

"Who's on patrol next?" Liao Fan asked.

"It's the second shift!" The squad leader of the patrol replied.

"Tell the second squad leader, I'll patrol with him today and see the path of your patrol!"

Since he can't sleep, Liao Fan wants to go out for a walk, and by the way, experience the usual life of the soldiers! The second squad leader did not dare to disobey the order and took an automatic rifle from the warehouse to Liao Fan! They are all armed with guns to patrol in order to deal with emergencies!

The patrol is not far, but the road is not easy! As the saying goes, there is no road in the world, and there is a road when there are more people walking! But this sentence does not apply to the Gobi Desert at all, this road soldiers do not know how many times they have patrolled, but they still have not stepped a path in the desert, and every strong wind buries their original road! So the fighters can only step on a new path with their feet again.

Against the howling wind, Liao Fan walked in the middle of the team, which was indeed very physically exhausting in such bad weather! With every step, Liao Fan would gasp!

However, compared to Liao Fan, the soldiers all raised their heads, and the purpose of their patrol was to find the surrounding anomalies! If you patrol with your head down, what's the difference between going out for a walk! Liao Fan finally realized that patrolling is not a good errand!

But the fighters were able to hold on, and he couldn't hold out either! It is really not easy to walk in the dark at night in the cold wind, fortunately the squad leader changes the vanguard every ten minutes, and the soldier who walks in the front is the most physically demanding!

The squad leader also knew that this situation was also a test for Liao Fan, so he never arranged for Liao Fan to be the first!

"Brother Fan, if you really can't hold on, give me the gun, and I'll help you carry it!" The soldiers behind Liao Fan saw that Liao Fan's steps were a little staggering!

"No, I can still hold on!"

"Don't talk, patrol is not in the team to talk don't know?" The squad leader didn't hear clearly who was talking, anyway, he heard someone talking and immediately ordered them to shut up!

Liao Fan shook his head helplessly, I'm afraid this is because he violated military regulations in a small matter! I'm afraid that after I go back, the soldiers behind me will inevitably be trained! Liao Fan must have escaped, but this kind of thing also taught him a lesson! Don't look at it as a small thing as patrolling, but it's a thing that is very easy to overlook!

After walking for two and a half hours, although the night in the desert was very cold, Liao Fan was sweating! However, there is no way to take a shower in this condition, and the sweat is very uncomfortable! But the fighters didn't care at all, and when they returned to their barracks, they left their sweat-soaked clothes aside, and then fell asleep!

Liao Fan was indeed tired, and walking such a long way against the strong wind consumed a lot of Liao Fan's physical strength! However, there is no water to bathe, and Liao Fan also realized that water in the desert is really precious! But Liao Fan lay on his bunk and fell asleep after a while!

The weather in the desert is changeable, don't look at the wind howling last night, this morning the sun is shining, cloudless, the sun is baking the earth, as if the desert is burning!

"Brother Fan, breakfast is ready, the car has been overhauled, and it is full of fuel!" The company commander of the outpost got up in the morning and reported to Liao Fan.

"Huai Yuanliang will set off after a full meal!"

Breakfast is simpler than dinner, one gruel and one steamed bun per person! This is the soldiers' breakfast, and as for vegetables and meat, they can only eat it once every three days! However, Liao Fan came to give an order to the logistics this time, at least the fruit can ensure that they have enough to eat!

The gruel is the same as last night's, mixed with sand and a little toothy, but Liao Fan has already adapted to it, but the soldiers who came with Liao Fan can always hear the sound of gurgling in their mouths when they drink porridge, obviously biting the sand! Liao Fan just smiled at this.

"You can't eat so finely, this porridge is not for drinking, swallowing it like medicine will not cause your teeth to cough!" The company commander said with a smile,

Last night, Liao Fan really experienced the cruelty of nature, every drop of water in the desert is as precious as gold, but what makes Liao Fan feel more precious are these warriors under his hands! These warriors are stationed here, isolated from the rest of the world, and they don't complain a word!

With such troops under his hands, what does Liao Fan want as their commander? With such a force, what battle can not be won! Although Liao Fan doesn't believe that man will win the sky, but with such a force, he really dares to fight with the sky!

"Brother Fan, this is the map!"

Every convoy entering the desert needs a new map! This is a division commander came up with the idea that if the road in the desert is buried by sand, it is easy for the convoy to get lost, so with a map, at least the convoy can return the same way and not get lost!

After packing up their things, Liao Fan and they set off again! There are also three checkpoints on the road, the situation of the three checkpoints is no different from the first one, Liao Fan stayed for more than ten minutes after passing through a checkpoint, the purpose is to see these soldiers who silently pay for the country here, they can't leave their names, but what they do has a strong mark in the history of the country!

After a long journey, Liao Fan finally reached the periphery of their mushroom bomb development base! The last outpost had already informed the base by phone that Liao Fan's convoy was about to arrive at the base!

The commander of the protection base came out to greet Liao Fan with the staff officers in the headquarters!
