Recently, the temperature in the area north to Tianshan Mountain has dropped to 30≧ below zero, offering a "good opportunity" for toughening the troops. A certain unit of the Xinjiang Military Area Command made good use of the opportunity called down by nature to prove the troops in terms of survivability, withstanding artillery attack, medical aid and field cooking, in order to boost the troops' combat capability. The picture shows troops marching in snow-covered field.
