In the early summer of the northern Tibetan Plateau, the weather is unpredictable and ever-changing. Yet, amid this uncertainty, the dedication and commitment of the soldiers remain unwavering. Recently, I had the opportunity to witness a full-scale combat readiness exercise conducted by a brigade of the Tibetan Military Region. The experience left me deeply impressed by the strong sense of real combat preparedness that permeated every moment.
On April 28th at dawn, the alarm rang out, signaling the start of a comprehensive drill involving an entire brigade. As the troops mobilized, nature threw its challenges at them—sudden heavy rain, large hailstones, and snowfall that reduced visibility to less than 20 meters. Despite the harsh conditions, the soldiers moved with precision and purpose.
At 5:40 PM, as the team battled the elements, the combat duty room issued orders for a snow response. By 6:00 AM, under the guidance of sentinels at key intersections, armored vehicles and tanks formed a long column, pushing through the storm like a blade cutting through a white curtain.
"Everything went smoothly," said the brigade commander, He Sheng, on the command vehicle. "Even if we have to face a 'knife' ahead, we will not deviate from our planned actions due to weather changes. Adverse conditions test our discipline and strength."
By 9:30 AM, the unit was steadily moving along mountainous roads. Yang Yingsong, the commander of the Third Battalion, was busy in the armored command vehicle. Suddenly, the command center transmitted a simulated enemy attack. Yang remained calm, quickly analyzing the map and issuing orders without hesitation.
However, the weather turned once more—snow and hail poured down, and thunder cracked overhead. The landscape, once green, was now blanketed in white. The soldiers faced the simulated enemy head-on, undeterred by the harsh conditions.
"Divide into two routes, use the terrain, and take a detour through the cliff valley," ordered Company Commander Cao Zhihui. The troops took risks, climbed rocks, and advanced through the valley, supporting each other step by step.
Within 100 meters of the enemy position, the battle began. Soldiers charged forward, fighting through the snow and rain, attacking the fortifications with fierce determination.
Despite the extreme altitude—nearly 5,000 meters above sea level, where oxygen is scarce and vegetation is sparse—the soldiers pressed on, carrying heavy gear. Their physical endurance was tested beyond imagination.
As night fell, most of the troops fell asleep after a long day. Meanwhile, Captain Chen Dacai led the "Blue Army" in a nighttime operation using night-vision equipment. Through his device, he spotted a military tent and identified it as a battalion command post.
"Steal the supplies, quickly withdraw!" Under Chen’s command, dark figures silently infiltrated the tents, successfully stealing helmets and gas masks.
The units attacked by the Blue Army were marked with "Blood" symbols. “This test is tough, but we must not become complacent,†remarked Political Commissar Hou Jianwei during the post-drill review. “Real combat begins with small details and continues throughout the entire process.â€
