对于边防战士来说,走在巡逻队伍的最前面意味着什么?陆军西藏山南军分区某团副团长旺堆次仁说,这意味着危险,也意味着危险变得习以为常。

戍守边关18载,旺堆次仁在巡逻路上经历过大大小小无数次险情,也见证了中国边防部队巡逻模式从“徒步加骑马”,到今天无人机巡逻、监控守点位的转变。

今年是红军长征胜利90周年。旺堆次仁近期接受中新社记者采访时说,风雪弥漫的边防线就是新时代边防军人的“长征路”。

高原上的种子:知识托举从军梦

小时候,旺堆次仁的爷爷曾想把他送进寺庙当和尚。但母亲笃信知识能够改变命运,坚持要把孩子送进学堂。

此后五年,家里上演着一场现实的拉扯:每到周五放学,爷爷守在校门口接旺堆次仁去寺庙念经;周日下午,母亲又来到庙门口,接他返回学校继续读书。几番争辩,母亲的坚持最终占了上风,旺堆次仁读完小学,顺利考上内地西藏班,走出高原求学。

获得报考昆明陆军学院的机会后,他打电话征求家人意见,得到父母全力支持。拿到军校录取通知书那天,红色封面、印着红五星的通知书缓缓展开,引得周围乡亲投来羡慕的目光。

在西藏,家里走出一名军校学员,是整个家族的荣耀。奔赴内地求学,父母专程到机场送行,反复叮嘱旺堆次仁:“坚持住,学好本领,做一名有用的革命军人。”

2008年,旺堆次仁从军校毕业。留在内地部队发展的机会摆在他面前,但他做出了不一样的选择:回西藏,主动申请奔赴边防一线。“当兵就要守好祖国的大门。这里既是祖国边境,也是我的家乡。边境安稳,家乡才能更好地发展。”怀揣这份朴素信念,他义无反顾奔赴风雪边关。

在巡逻中带队是一种责任

卡车行驶在尘土漫天的路上,颠簸三个多小时才抵达连队。下车之后,战士们满脸是灰,只能看清眼睛和牙齿。现实条件远比想象艰苦:道路坑洼,通讯信号时有时无,泥石流、滑坡时常阻断通路,冬季物资补给困难。

这,便是旺堆次仁戍边之路的起点。

2009年,旺堆次仁迎来人生第一次巡逻。巡逻路线从海拔3400多米攀升至5000多米,骑马徒步交替进行,历时五天六夜。沿途翻越高山峡谷,穿行原始密林,天气变化可谓“一天分四季,十里不同天”。路有多艰险?“有些地方连雄鹰都飞不过去。”害怕吗?“没有,因为有老兵带着我们。”

等到旺堆次仁也成了老兵,开始在巡逻中带队时,他才明白走在排头代表了一种怎样的责任。

一次巡逻时,旺堆次仁带队走过一段冰面路线。这是一条新路线,他站在排头摸索着前进。“当我把登山杖插到冰面的时候,很结实。等左脚踩上,一下子就掉到那个冰洞里面去了。”冰洞里回声嘈杂,听不清战友说什么,他挣扎着往上爬,但根本没有手抓和脚蹬的地方。战友们扔下来两条背包绳,把旺堆次仁拉了上去。

“对于边防一线来说,这种事情是正常的情况。因为路段复杂,每年的气候变化、地理环境变化,这种险情在边防一线处处存在。”旺堆次仁说。

“带兵重在一个‘带’字,指挥员自己不往前冲,战士们凭什么跟着你冲?”旺堆次仁知道,如今自己肩上的责任不断加重,要全盘研判路线、统筹物资、守护全体官兵的安全。“我带出来的兵,也必须安全带回去。”

戍边十八载,旺堆次仁经历大大小小巡逻一千余次,奔走在“连雄鹰都难以飞越”的险峻地域,数次直面滚石、冰窟、雪崩、泥石流等险情,脚下这条巡逻路的长度正积累成他自己的“两万五千里”。

边防巡逻的变化

旺堆次仁已经在边防部队待了近20年。对于边防巡逻的发展变化,他是亲历者、见证者。

“刚开始的时候,要么是完全徒步,要么是徒步与骑马结合。”旺堆次仁介绍说,如今很多位置车辆可以直达,下车就到巡逻点位,大大提升了巡逻的效率。

巡逻的方式也发生了改变。“比如一些区域,以前徒步巡逻的时候会遇到雪崩。现在我们可以人在山脚下,飞无人机,到巡逻点位去勘察。”旺堆次仁还介绍说,很多巡逻点位都安装了监控设备,“既能看到这一个点,又能看到全貌”。

戍边官兵的生活条件也有了大幅改善,从最开始的很多地方不通电,还要烧柴火取暖,到今天电网、5G网络覆盖边防线,运用数智方式管控边防。旺堆次仁说,有了科技手段的支撑,边关巡逻安全系数大大提升,戍守边关的战士们也多了一份坚守的信心。

巡逻点位平均海拔在5000米以上,即便是旺堆次仁这样土生土长的藏族战士,也会遇到“心脏受不了,走两步就要休息一次,嘴里血腥味涌上来”的时候。“海拔对每个人都是平等的,就看你有没有这个意志力去战胜那座高峰。”他说。

驻守环境恶劣,交通信息闭塞,每天都是重复见到的人、看到的天空、走过的路。一个合格的边防战士应该具备什么能力?对于这个问题,旺堆次仁的回答是:“耐得住寂寞。”

“您觉得边防军人的使命是什么?”旺堆次仁说,回答其实特别简单,“就是守好边防”,用自己的脚步一遍遍丈量这条巡逻路,不是走给别人看,而是为了让身后的祖国知道,这片土地有他们在驻守。“每一次爬到巡逻点位上,把国旗展开的那一刻,你会觉得这就是我们全部的价值所在。”“国境线是我要用一辈子去丈量和捍卫的终点。”今年正值长征胜利90周年,旺堆次仁也谈到他对长征路的理解:“老一辈长征爬雪山、过草地,让中国人站起来;我们这代人的长征,就是守好先辈打下的江山。新时代边防军人的‘长征路’就是这条风雪弥漫的边防线。”
