Chapter 204: Military Columns
February 5, 1981, Meng Hai. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In the past few years, the former border town is no longer in line with the old view, most of the dilapidated thatched houses have been replaced by brick houses, and some wealthy people have also built two- and three-story cement buildings modeled after the style of the military sub-district, and for the sake of beauty, a layer of mosaics has been pasted on the outside as decoration.
The size of the town has expanded by at least three or four times compared to the original size. There are more than a dozen cement roads crisscrossing the town, restaurants, shops, barber shops, clothing stores and other convenient living facilities that were not available before, and there is also a movie theater.
Although the town's residents are still mainly engaged in agriculture, they are gradually changing to urbanization.
A few hundred meters to the east of the town, a brand new railway station has been erected. The scale of the station is not too large, there is a three-story station building, a waiting room of more than 200 square meters, and then a platform, with a total area of no more than 1,000 square meters.
However, although the sparrow is small, it has all kinds of organs.
In the station building, there are not only the signs of the station management department, but also the signs of the station police station, as well as border inspection stations, forestry inspection stations, health and quarantine departments and other departments, all of which are co-located here.
Because from here, it directly crosses the border and enters the territory of the military subdivision next door, so whether it is entering or leaving, the border guard, forestry and other departments will get on the bus to check whether anyone is carrying guns in violation of regulations, and the country prohibits the entry of precious timber and wild animals.
With the addition of this small station, it will be much easier for the townspeople in the town and the people nearby to enter the city. Although the railway has not yet been fully completed, and the farthest can only reach Baoshan, it is the farthest place in their lives for these mountain people who may not even have been out of the mountains in their lives.
However, the townspeople are still relatively poor, and their income is mainly for farming, which was initially mainly used for goods passing through the town, and was temporarily parked here to help load and unload goods for payment. Later, the Xincheng Railway Station was built, which was bigger and more beautiful than this small station, and the warehouses were also built in large quantities, so that the goods were transported directly to the Xincheng and no longer transited through here, and the residents of the town had a lot less income.
In order to increase their income, many townspeople began to leave the town to work in the new town. The income over there is high, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, you can earn fifty or sixty a month, and it is not a problem to get one or two hundred more. For the residents of mountain villages with an average annual income of less than 300 yuan, this is a remarkable income, and as long as one person in the family works in a military sub-district, the income is enough to support the whole family to live a comfortable life.
Therefore, there are a lot of people who go to work there in Meng Hai, not only Meng Hai, but also many young people in the surrounding villages who used to work. If you stay there with peace of mind, the Labor Service Department will also help with skills training, and the salary you will get after you come out may not be as much as that of a casual worker, but if you are included in the employment roster, the Labor Service Department will help recommend a job, so that you can become a regular worker who eats the emperor's food. Even if you don't have a job temporarily, you will get a monthly living allowance and receive more labor skills training to meet the needs of the job, and your future employment path will be wider.
In the previous war, many people came from the military division.
However, after learning that the military sub-district had successfully repelled the encirclement and suppression of the Tying Army, and had instead occupied many cities and towns in one go, and that the base area had expanded dramatically, many people regretted it and ran back.
Seeing that the People's Army was so capable of fighting, and the base area was very safe, many people from the surrounding towns also followed. I heard that after the military sub-district was connected to the country and the number of areas in the country increased, even Ruili and Zhenkang had many people, and the total number was probably not less than tens of thousands.
With the information they fed back, more and more people from the surrounding counties and cities came over, and people as far as Dehong, Yongling, Yongde, and Gengma began to pour over there. Looking at this situation, I am afraid that there will be no less than 200,000 people who will work in military sub-divisions for a long time in the future!
As far as this small station is concerned, the trains that usually pass through are mainly flatbed cars that transport goods, and the station staff and border inspection personnel are relatively relaxed. When the car arrives, go around against the list of goods on the car to determine whether there are prohibited items.
Woo~
In the distance, the whistle whistled in the mountains, and a long line of steel dragons with billowing smoke could be seen winding and circling among the mountains, galloping towards this direction, and soon to enter the pit stop.
Several station staff and border inspection personnel walked out of the station building with a smile and waited for the next work.
"Hey, it looks like there are a lot of passenger cars on this trip today?" A station worker casually glanced into the distance and wondered.
"It seems that yes, when there are many people, it will be troublesome to check." The other platform staff and border guards stood on tiptoe for a while, and sighed.
The train approached quickly, and you could see several green leather cars hanging behind the front of the locomotive. However, on the flatbed truck in the rear, there are not common container containers, but items that are firmly tied to a door. It's hard to see from a distance, but most of the goods are straight to the sky with a tube, and it looks ......
That's artillery!
The staff were stunned for a moment, and quickly found the train record, which contained the train timetable notified by the phone at the starting station. They checked the records line by line, and finally saw a line of handwritten handwriting on it: "Departing from Baoshan Station at 9:23 a.m., about 2:30 p.m., the military column will pass by your station and enter the military sub-district, without stopping in the middle, and there is no need to get on the train for inspection."
So that's it!
It dawned on them that no wonder a train would suddenly arrive at the normal point, which turned out to be a military train.
In that case, of course, they no longer need to inspect the trains. Just out of curiosity, everyone didn't go back, but stood by the platform and watched the train approach quickly.
"Why are they all thin tubes?" A station worker wondered as he looked at the strapped artillery on the flatbed.
"That's anti-aircraft guns!" A border guard next to him squinted his eyes, looked at it for a while, and said with confidence, "The front columns are all equipped with imitation Soviet KC-19M2 anti-aircraft guns, with a caliber of 100 mm, and the domestic number is called 59 type 100 mm anti-aircraft guns." The back is also the 59 type, but the caliber seems to be much smaller, so it should be 57 mm. Both of these guns hit very high, with a 57-millimeter caliber that could hit more than 8,000 meters, and a 100-millimeter one that could hit more than 12,000 kilometers. This may be to help the side to strengthen the anti-aircraft firepower so as not to be bombed by aircraft. ”
"I see. Then why is there a car tied to the back? Many of the station staff were locals, and they had never seen the military train, and when they heard him speak to him, they all suddenly realized, and then asked.
"Rare and weird!" The border guard glanced at them, pouted, and said, "How many tons of a cannon is, you should be a tricycle, you can walk by pushing?" Even if it's a rack car, you have to find a mule to pull it, don't you? There is no truck to tow it, even if there are a dozen people coming up, don't even think about pushing it! ”
"That's what it looks like! Xiao Zhao, you know so much! The other staff members praised him a few words in order to listen more. A group of people stood on the side of the platform, watching the military columns rumbling past the platform, and everyone happily pointed and pointed, consciously gaining a lot of knowledge.
"Is this the military division?"
On the military train, a group of soldiers in green military uniforms were also looking out through the car window.
"Not yet, I'll be able to see it when we get to the river later, and when we turn the corner. Across the river is the military subdivision, oh yes, they have changed their name now, and the military subdivision has been merged with the Northeast Military Region and renamed the Northern Theater Command, and the newly fought places have also been included. A staff officer-like, 30-year-old soldier explained to his comrades.
"Hehe, Northern War Zone, he has such a big breath! The territory of less than 10,000 people and one or two counties is also called a war zone! A young soldier sneered and said disdainfully.
The other soldiers didn't answer, but looking at their expressions, they seemed to be unimpressed.
"It's still okay, the place is small, but 10,000 people in Weiding is not a small army." A more kind middle-aged soldier next to him helped the army to divide it.
"I heard that their uniforms are very beautiful, and they look good when they wear them." Another soldier changed the subject.
Those who can enter the headquarters to work have very keen political insight, and no one will talk nonsense. Just now, he unconsciously showed contempt for the military sub-division, and politically he disrespected the comrades of the friendly party and was an immature expression. You can have this kind of thought, but you have to hide it in your heart, and if you say it publicly, it will become a handle, and even if your superiors don't criticize you, you will definitely have an opinion in your heart.
So he didn't want to continue the topic and simply moved to the side.
"Well, the Type 79 automatic rifle is pretty good, too. Small caliber is the direction of the future development of light weapons, and it took so many years of domestic argumentation to carry out research, and they came up with a mature design, which is really rare. The others understood his intentions and followed the conversation further.
"Someone in the final assembly offered to use their design directly, but it was later rejected. This kind of gun is too finely made, has a lot of man-hours, and the cost is relatively high. The Fifth Machine Department has studied this gun, and if we make it ourselves, each gun will cost more than 800 yuan, and we can't afford to use it. They still preferred to design a rifle with a simple manufacturing process and low cost, but they also overturned the original 7.62mm design and prepared to take part of the design of the Type 79 automatic rifle and develop a 5.8mm small-caliber automatic rifle with a stock. ”
"That's right! The 5.8 mm small-caliber bullet they made was very good, even better than our own, and fully met the requirements of the troops. It has been measured that a three-millimeter steel plate can be penetrated at a limit distance of 700 meters, and it will be penetrated even if you wear body armor at a distance of 100 meters. Therefore, the final assembly is not going to do it by itself, and directly introduce their bullet production line, and we are going to talk about this matter this time......"
“…… The effect of body armor is also very good, and in actual combat, the old M16A1 of the US military cannot be worn. Their casualties this time are so small, and the body armor and bulletproof inserts are also indispensable! ”
"The raw materials for the production of this thing have to be imported from abroad, and they are extremely expensive! It's okay to equip a small amount of elite troops, but we can't afford to equip the whole army! ”
"In fact, what I can't figure out the most is how Guan Fei can run from the 1600 heights to Lashio in one night, which is 85 kilometers! This is not a cross-country training, it only takes about 20 minutes to run five kilometers in cross-country training, but if you have to run for several hours in one go, even the iron man can't stand it! ”
"yes, yes, that's what I'm most interested in. I don't believe he can run 85 kilometers in one night, or let him try it again in front of us......"
"Nonsense!" An old soldier who had been looking out of the window turned his head unhappily and reprimanded, "Whether people can run or can't, the fact is that they destroyed the front-line airfield of the Weiding Army in one night, and it's not one!" As for how it was done, does it have anything to do with the outcome? Such propaganda on the radio is at least very helpful to boost people's morale, so we should not talk too much, but still uphold our consistent attitude towards the outside world, be polite, respect others, listen more and talk less! ”
