Two helicopters had already landed. The third one entered the landing orbit and was ready to land. Xia Jinyuan looked up at the ‘Iron Eagle’ that could pass through depopulated zones. He told the members of the Storm Commando proudly, “This is one of the most dangerous and most difficult flight routes in the world. The Ali Plateau is recognized as a restricted area for rotor helicopters. However, the soldiers of Army Aviation can fly safely. Their courage is admirable.
“They are called ‘children of the stars and snow’ by the border army along with the soldiers of the highest outpost in our country. They’re accompanied by the stars in the sky and snow for most of the year.”
Xia Jinyuan had stayed in the Snow Region Plateau for almost a year. Other than the base station that protected the secret construction of the country, he spent the rest of his time either patrolling or learning about the troupes in the Snow Region Plateau and the northwest of the country. Hence, he could tell the history of every troupe here and their heroic deeds.
No matter where it was, there would always be admirable soldiers protecting the country. Even Xia Jinyuan, who was from the special forces, admired them.
The members of Storm Commando listened carefully. Some of them were farther away from Xia Jinyuan and there was the sound of the propellers from the helicopters. Those who didn’t hear him clearly asked the members of the Xueyu unit beside them. After asking, they realized that the members of the Xueyu unit knew each other very well.
During the waiting process, the members of Storm Commando learned a lot of stories about the soldiers of the frontiers. Even though they only heard a few stories, it still made the eyes of the tough men turn red.
After the third helicopter landed, the cabin crew sent a command to the fourth helicopter through the radar.
After they finished escorting these two troops into the highlands for training, they would fly to the Poulan Border to refuel and complete today’s aerial patrol.
One of the soldiers with a laptop was operating a 3D flight map that could help them fly on the highlands. He contacted the cabin crew of the fourth helicopter and said, “It can be seen that the snow clouds have gathered and are quickly descending!”
“Roger that. Roger that. 370 meters to the second orbital route.”
A series of parameters such as flying speed and altitude were accurately reported from the mouths of the crew technicians, and the pilot of the aircraft began to land on the correct track according to the radar display.
Ye Jian looked at the soldiers from Army Aviation who cooperated well with each other. Her eyes were filled with admiration.
The northwest of the territory was a bitter cold land, and it was also their territory. Tianshan Mountains, the desert, the Gobi, the boundless Kunlun mountain range… These were regions that even birds wouldn’t approach, yet they were conquered by the soldiers stationed at the territory.
In the sky where the birds never flew, there were soldiers who were not afraid of death as they piloted the ‘Iron Eagles’ and passed through the snowstorm to guard the country. It was precisely because they were protecting the country with their lives that the northwest border of the country was peaceful.
“Fasten your seat belts. We need to avoid the storm when it arrives.”
They entered the orbit and were less than ten kilometers away from the landing point. A storm swept over and advanced at lightning speed.
There was a lack of oxygen in the air, and it snowed all year round here. In June, the sun was shining brightly on the snowy mountains, but in the blink of an eye, dark clouds would cover the sky. Suddenly, pea-sized hailstones would start pouring from the sky too, and the temperature would drop by more than ten degrees.
It was already like this in June, let alone winter. Xia Jinyuan, who was talking to the members of Storm Commando, stared intently at the appearance of the fourth helicopter. As layers of snow clouds gathered on the snow-capped mountains, the darkness in his eyes deepened..
