爆炸声大得惊人,山崩似的回声也大得惊人。但炮火声很快消失在山脉和冰川无垠的宁静中。脸色黎黑、穿着脏得看不出白色的风雪大衣的士兵,往还在冒烟的105毫米榴弹炮装填另一发炮弹,再次发射。他们是在海拔17200英尺的巴尔多罗冰川上的哨所值勤的巴基斯坦士兵。开炮的目标是7英里外印度士兵设在锡亚琴冰川上的哨所,两者中间隔着连绵的康韦鞍状山脊。天空晴朗时,有时大炮声日夜不停。每当对方没有还击时,除了少数士兵守住机关枪,以防印度侦察直升飞机前来骚扰外,其他人拣选邮件,修理被打坏的履带式雪上汽车,尽情享受着夏日下难得的几个小时清闲。
The sound of the explosion was staggering and the landslide-like echoes were staggering. But the fire quickly disappeared into the silence of the mountains and the glacier. Black-faced, wearing a dirty snow can not see the white coat of soldiers, still smoldering 105 mm howitzer loaded another round of shells fired again. They are Pakistani soldiers on duty at the 17,200-foot Ballastoro glacier. The target of the firing was a post at 7,000 miles by Indian soldiers on the Siacinth Glacier, separated by a continuous Conte saddle ridge. When the sky is clear, sometimes the cannon is heard day and night. Whenever there is no counterattack on the other side, except for a handful of soldiers who hold machine guns to prevent Indian reconnaissance helicopters from harassing, others pick mail to repair damaged tracked snowmobiles and enjoy the rare summer months Hours of leisure.
