南沙有群“追太阳的兵” ■黄鑫陇王一飞徐智鹏（左）、单志帅（中）和郑天龙（右）一起训练归来。图片由本人提供南沙的海风温润，却裹着化不开的离愁。渚碧礁上，又一批老兵卸下军衔标志，即将告别日夜守护的岛礁。送行的队伍里，刚上礁不久、已分配到不同岗位的几个列兵，难得再次站成一列，共同为老兵送行。这批列兵中，已有多人独立走上值班战位。在南沙炽烈的阳光下，他们褪去青涩，拔节生长。成长的起点，往往源自一次刻进骨血里的“破土见光”。列兵徐智鹏最难忘的，便是第一次驾驶巡逻艇的经历。去年，他被分到巡逻艇班，啃完几本专业书，满心期待实操训练，却不想迎来一场“特殊考验”——他驾驶的是开放式巡逻艇，烈日直射下，艇身毫无遮挡。全副武装，闷热难当，再加上海浪颠簸，徐智鹏顿觉天旋地转。半天训练下来，他脖颈的皮肤被晒得灼痛脱皮，初次驾艇的新鲜感荡然无存。回到宿舍，班长递来防晒霜，笑着开导他：“咱南沙的兵，天天追着太阳跑。太阳赠我们一身黝黑，也把我们的心照得亮堂堂。”班长指着窗外波光粼粼的海面，语气沉静地说：“只有勇敢追光的人，才能守好这片蓝色国土。” 那一刻，阳光仿佛照进徐智鹏心里。他铆在艇上苦练操舵，眼神愈发坚定。很快，他在同批列兵中首个取得了独立操艇资质。当他独自驾艇巡航，内心再无彷徨，只有笃定的信念。列兵单志帅的战位，是岛礁上离海最近的地方。第一次执勤，眼前风景如画卷铺展：深浅交叠的蓝色，从礁盘一直延伸到远方的暗礁。这一幕壮阔海景让他有点分神。班长叮嘱他打起精神，不放过任何可疑目标。他嘴上应着，心里却想：“如此开阔的海面，发现目标能有多难？” 太阳越升越高，单志帅扫视海面，远处一个黑点引起注意。他努力辨认，海面上的“鱼鳞光”却让他睁不开眼……他举起望远镜搜寻，最终确认那只是一截漂流的浮木。虚惊一场。班长拍拍他的肩：“南沙不是和平的后花园，枕戈待旦是守礁军人的生活常态。”从那以后，单志帅的目光不再为风景停留。他渐渐懂得，战友们守望的不只是蓝色国土，更是一份“岛礁在我心中”的担当——这份领悟，如一束阳光照进胸膛。列兵郑天龙心中的“阳光”，是从雷达机房的屏幕里透进来的。礁上的机房常年不见阳光，只有雷达屏幕上闪动的幽蓝光点。作为雷达兵，第一次在阵地值班，郑天龙被眼前景象所震撼：屏幕上跳动着的参数，如星辰密布夜空。 “雷达是岛礁的眼睛，我们一刻都不能放松警惕。”班长说。郑天龙紧盯屏幕，试图从回波中捕捉可疑目标。长时间在阵地值班，压抑感阵阵袭来。一次特情出现，彻底改变了郑天龙的心境—— 一个光点快速向岛礁逼近。他转头望向班长，班长的眼神中充满鼓励。按照操作要领，他迅速记下每一处微小变化，辨别、追踪……直到警报解除。值班结束，阵地的时钟指向清晨6点。走出机房，沐浴晨光，郑天龙终于读懂雷达兵的使命：机房虽小，连接万里海疆；屏幕虽暗，照亮南沙海天。那些闪烁的光点，承载着守礁军人的目光，更见证着他们扛在肩头的使命。

Summary

Machine summary

Garrison troops on Subi Reef (渚碧礁) in the Nansha Islands — identified only as privates Xu Zhipeng, Shan Zhishuai, and Zheng Tianlong — are profiled conducting patrol boat operations, visual maritime surveillance, and radar watch as newly qualified independent duty-holders. The article is standard political-work content from PLA media, its value as a record of how the institution frames hardship, vigilance, and territorial conviction ('the reef lives in my heart,' 岛礁在我心中) for junior enlisted personnel at a South China Sea feature, not as evidence of changed posture or capability. Unit designation is not given, so the garrison's organizational affiliation remains unknown.
