“当兵站岗,责无旁贷,武警部队更是如此。”来到武警襄阳支队采访多日,记者对这个说法感触更深了。 该支队地处中部,执勤点位分布甚广:城市、乡村、航道、山区……这就意味着,同一时间,一个支队这么多人,散在各个点位,做着同一件事——站岗。许多官兵告诉记者,在他们看来,站岗就是战斗。 可站岗时,战士们或多或少会感到疲惫;深夜时分,也难免会“静夜思”一番。记者不免心生好奇:站岗时,官兵们会想些啥? 盛夏的荆楚大地,即便在深夜,气温依然超过30℃。在该支队营区正门前,偶有零星行人匆匆走过。夜色如墨,上等兵冯逸航身姿挺拔,伫立哨位。 冯逸航盯着警戒区,记者在远处“盯”着冯逸航。下哨后,记者小跑上前,表明身份,与他攀谈了起来。 “小伙子,你是因为啥来当兵?”“想保家卫国呗!”“那你现在当上了兵,很骄傲吧?”“骄傲是骄傲,就是总站哨……”这名腼腆的上等兵挠了挠头,好像自己说错了话,随后赶紧蹦出一句:“但班长说了,哨位就是战位。一是不能松懈犯困,二是把这班哨站好。”说完,我们俩都笑出了声。想必他不知如何回答,索性引用班长的话。 笑声拉开了话匣子,冯逸航说,记者的问题他也问过自己,可他不知道怎么回答。这次,他道出了小心思,没搪塞。他告诉记者,刚站岗时,挺激动的,可到了后半夜最难熬,老犯困。 “我就数经过的车灯,看天上的星星,想想家里今晚饭吃的啥……”冯逸航跟记者说,新兵站岗,总是难免会有那么几个瞬间身在哨位心飞扬。 “可这样,会不会影响状态,耽误战备执勤?”面对记者疑虑,冯逸航一板一眼答道:“绝对不会。我们也许会有疲劳的时候,但哨位对我们而言是战场,站在那里,就是开始了一场战斗。也许因为年轻,我们会经验不足,会溜个小号,但我们的眼睛始终瞪得大大的,任何风吹草动都别想躲过去。” 随后他嘿嘿笑了声,语气急转弯:“班长教给我一个土办法,让我一直在心里默念上哨前他的叮嘱和要求。他说,念的多了,眼里只有警戒区,也就不想别的事了……” 第二天中午,记者在食堂与该支队领导聊起此事。他哈哈一笑:“在咱们单位,像小冯这样的战士,日均执勤近5个小时,除了用餐和就寝,一天大半时间都在哨位上度过。”他语气又沉下来,“时间长,不少地区又偏得很。在不少老兵看来,‘哨位是战位’不是口号,而是大实话、心里话。” 邻桌的某部指导员王圣琪也参与进来。他告诉记者,在他看来哨位也是开展思想工作的小课堂。随后王圣琪道出一段经历。 有天夜里王圣琪去查哨。在某点位对口令时,他发现哨兵虽然回令正确,却给人感觉一愣一愣的。“有什么心事吗?”王圣琪关心道,哨兵却面露难色,支支吾吾。“那我陪你站会儿。”当王圣琪和哨兵并肩站立时,惊讶地发现略远处一大片金黄的油菜花,在月色路灯下翻滚涌动,景色极美。“指导员,我家对面也有这么一片油菜花,小时候经常在地里玩……”哨兵嘀咕了一句,让王圣琪恍然大悟。 “现在这儿也是你的家。”王圣琪拍了拍这位刚刚下队执勤的河南小伙,“那就好好守着它,每次花开的时候,你家也到了快丰收的时候,这就是你站在这里的意义。” 王圣琪告诉记者,在他看来,战士们站哨,既是履行职责使命,也是直面自我,心里的小疙瘩很容易在这时“长大”,同样也更好“摘下”。 王圣琪的经历让记者想起《士兵突击》里“草原五班”的那句名言:光荣在于平淡,艰巨在于漫长。 随后,记者随补给车前往支队最偏远的南河庙单独执勤点。这里地处连绵的桐柏山脉,风硬水冷,昼夜温差大,人烟稀少,这儿的官兵说他们是“大山六班”。补给车路过时,二级上士邱志澳挺立在哨位上,敬了一个颇有老兵味的军礼。下哨后,他跑过来和我们一起搬卸东西。我察觉到,他的脸颊颜色黑红,随车干部说这叫“山里红”,邱志澳听完冲我笑了笑,我借机和他聊了起来,问他刚刚站岗时在想啥。 “我在想,怎么带好我们班的兵。比如,上等兵刘厶语总不敢晚上站岗。”邱志澳面对记者不打怯,嗓门大。这位二级上士坦言,半夜在大荒地里站岗,年轻人需要时间适应,他能理解。9年前,他第一次执勤,那时岗楼还是红砖房,夜里漆黑一片。要是没有老兵陪着,邱志澳的心里直突突,一点风吹草动都让他紧张。当时他的班长主动提出陪他一起站夜岗,教他怎样携带装备、询问盘查。 “后来,我也是这样带自己的兵,帮他们尽快适应。”邱志澳话锋一转,“唯独这个刘厶语,到现在还总让我陪。”邱志澳觉得好气又好笑。 晚饭过后,记者找到刘厶语,他悄悄告诉记者,他并非胆小害怕。“咱当兵的还怕黑?在这儿站岗,除了风声就是心跳声。一个人时,看到老远处有灯火一闪一闪的,忍不住念叨家里,想得心口疼。有班长在就不一样了,心里踏实。”这名战士操着东北口音,信誓旦旦说道,“下次排到晚上的岗,不用班长陪!” 采访结束即将离开,记者在高铁站候车时,遇到了即将上哨的一级上士孙耀保。这位老兵已服役14年,曾多次处置突发情况,先后荣立个人三等功2次、集体三等功1次。记者问他同一个问题,他脱口答道:“高铁站地段复杂,人流量大。徒步巡逻时我得时刻根据环境变换巡逻队形,观察周边哪些人、车可疑,哪些人在拍照,按照‘三快’处置流程怎样应对各种情况……”他的回答专业理性,正在候车的记者安全感满满。 上车后,列车疾驰,窗外城村相接、山峦相叠。记者脑海中突然回想起此前在山区采访时一位老兵的随口一答:“这儿是无人区,人得与山为伴。我当兵之初曾经也在站岗时胡思乱想,但我现在只想一件事,那就是把这班岗站好了。”

Summary

Machine summary

A PAP reporter embedded for several days with the Xiangyang Detachment in Hubei, interviewing sentries at urban gates, a remote solo post at Nanhe Temple in the Tongbai Mountains, and a high-speed rail station, collecting first-person accounts from personnel ranging from a new Private First Class to a 14-year Staff Sergeant First Class holding two individual Third-Class Merits. The piece documents how the detachment's political work apparatus — represented here by Political Instructor Wang Shengqi — uses the guard post itself as a site for one-on-one ideological counseling (思想工作), treating homesickness and distraction not as discipline problems but as entry points for motivation. Its value is as a ground-level record of how PAP units translate the institutional slogan '哨位就是战位' ('the guard post is the combat post') into daily supervisory practice, not as evidence of any change in posture or capability.
