The morning dew and sea breeze awakened Sheshan Island. At 6am, a patrol team from a naval observation station set foot on the roundabout road and began a new day of patrol. The waves are crashing against the rocks, and the salty sea breeze is blowing towards us. In the patrol team, a soldier with dark skin and steady steps caught the attention - his name is Yangzhou and he once served in a border defense company of the army. Last year, he enlisted for the second time, put on military uniform again, and became a coastal defense soldier. The sea breeze blows, and the patrol team heads in with the wind. Pan Jixu, the radar squad leader who has been guarding the island for 19 years, walked at the forefront of the team. The boots stepped on the wet rocks, making waves of noise. Pan Jixu reminded everyone from time to time to pay attention to the road under their feet and prevent them from falling when they stepped on them. At this moment, Yangzhou's thoughts returned to the days of patrolling the snowy border. At that time, Yang Zhou and his comrades not only had to remember each patrol route, but also familiarize themselves with the terrain and landforms along the way. Nowadays, Yangzhou, which has shed its "pine branch green" and put on "wave white", is actively familiarizing itself with the tidal changes along every stretch of the coast and striving to adapt to its new position. At the southeast corner of Sheshan Island, a gray white stone monument stands tall in the strongest sea breeze. The four words' base point of territorial waters' on the stone tablet are powerful and vigorous. The patrol team took a brief rest here, and Yang Zhou gently touched the surface of the stone tablet with his hand, feeling the sacred mission he shoulders with heart. Not long ago, when Yang Zhou, who had just climbed to Sheshan Island, touched this stone monument for the first time, the pride of the border guards surged in his heart. Nowadays, he has a better understanding of the weight of the four words' territorial sea base points' on the radar screen - every base point is closely related to the security of the motherland's sea and air. From the 'Roof of the World' to the 'Frontier of the East China Sea', the natural environment is vastly different, but the responsibility of guarding the borders and the country remains unchanged. ”Yang Zhou said that shortly after joining the team, the station leader arranged for him to take up the battle position and learn from the team. I thought radar soldiers were just sitting in front of screens to record data and report air conditions, "Yang Zhou recalled. The first time he faced real-time sea conditions in front of a radar screen, he felt unprecedented pressure. Data communication, target recognition, information push... Yang Zhou said that the radar scanning line keeps rotating, and the data on the screen keeps scrolling. He feels like he is in the midst of an information "ocean current". Being on the battlefield means being on the battlefield, and the scanning line is the lifeline. To be a good 'thousand mile eye' guarding the security of the motherland's sea and air, one must endure hardships, endure hardships, and remain steadfast. ”The words of the old class monitor hit Yangzhou's heart hard. At that moment, Yang Zhou felt a deep sense of skill panic. From high-altitude communication soldiers to island radar soldiers, 'veterans' embark on a new journey. With the help of the class monitor, Yang Zhou formulated a strict study plan for himself: spending two hours every day studying professional theories without hesitation; During the day, I study plotting and calculation in the training room; At night, I was engrossed in the study room memorizing radar parameters. Everything comes to him who waits. Nowadays, Yangzhou is proficient in completing mapping tasks and can preliminarily analyze and judge signal types. Not only that, Yang Zhou also shared his valuable experience and professional skills accumulated as a signal soldier with his new comrades, and grew and progressed together with everyone. At the end of the patrol, the sun had already risen above the sea level. On the mountaintop not far away, the radar that runs day and night is particularly eye-catching under the sunshine. In this battlefield without gunpowder, one must cultivate a more focused gaze, a clearer mind, and stronger skills. "Speaking of the feeling of stepping onto a new battlefield, Yang Zhou said that as the oldest new recruit on the island, he will work hand in hand with his new comrades to be a" thousand mile eye "for safeguarding the security of the motherland's sea and air. The waves are crashing against the embankment, and on Sheshan Island, the new recruits, like Yangzhou, are accelerating towards their mission - they are learning new knowledge, mastering new equipment, adapting to new environments, and guarding the magnificent maritime borders of their motherland with their youthful passion on this island with an area of only 0.088 square kilometers.
