0370 Ten Heroes on the Sichuan-Tibet Line

Wang Liang: "The road is difficult, the road is difficult, the road is rugged, and I am here today." ”

"The soldiers of the 18th Army and the 53rd Division of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, how did they hang ropes on the steep cliffs? Human ladder! Use the ladder! ”

[Erlang Mountain is high, and it is ten thousand feet high]

[Ancient trees, wild grass, mountains and huge rocks]

【The sheep intestine trail is difficult to walk】

[Kang-Tibet traffic is blocked by it]

[Erlang Mountain, even if you are ten thousand feet tall]

【The People's Liberation Army's Iron Fighter】

[Determination is as strong as steel]

[Build that highway to that Tibet]

[Don't be afraid of the wind blowing, not afraid of the snowflakes]

[Get up early and go to bed late to endure hunger]

[High mood of each one]

Wang Liang remembered that in February 1950, 100,000 road construction troops sang this song and set off for the snowy plateau from Erlang Mountain.

The officers and men of the 18th Army of the Chinese People's Liberation Army spent four years building the 2,000-kilometer-long Sichuan-Tibet Highway and at the cost of 4,963 soldiers.

Few know their names, few know their deeds.

【Open the mountain and build a bridge】

【People's Heroes Meritorious Service】

[Erlang Mountain is full of red flags]

[The highway was opened to transport the army into Tibet]

【Development of Nafukuyuan】

【People's Enjoyment】

[It's a good place to hide and hide]

[Infinite treasures are not mined, cattle and sheep are full of hills]

【Forests and grasslands are everywhere】

[People's wealth does not let the invader come to the gun]

[To develop Fuyuan, first build Tibet]

【Tent becomes a tall building】

【Barren Mountains into Pastures】

[Invaders, he dares to come and destroy them]

As a witness and witness of history, whenever Wang Liang hears the song "Singing Erlang Mountain", his mind comes up again and again with the construction scene of the officers and soldiers sweating like rain on the road construction site.

Wave after wave of the hot labor horn echoed in his ears.

From the starry sky to the white sky, Wang Liang's eyes were moistened with tears.

Faced with many difficulties such as insufficient supplies of materials and lack of oxygen in the mountains, a heroic and tenacious and arduous road construction battle was launched in the barren mountains and mountains.

Countless commanders and fighters fell, and countless commanders and fighters rose up again.

In April 1950, construction of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway from Ya'an to Lhasa began.

In December 1954, the Sichuan-Tibet Highway was opened to traffic.

In 1958, the southern route of the Sichuan-Tibet Highway was opened to traffic.

A highway that has changed the fate of countless people.

The Sichuan-Tibet Military Station Department under the Joint Logistics Department of the Chengdu Military Region.

This unit was formed when the Sichuan-Tibet Highway was opened to traffic.

Over the next 60 years, 647 officers and men died on this road, and more than 2,000 officers and men were wounded and disabled.

They have traveled more than 3 billion kilometres.

Wang Liang said: "Three billion kilometers is equivalent to seven and a half circles around the earth. Every hundred meters you go forward, you are in danger of your life. One carelessly, crushed bones. ”

"In the Sichuan-Tibet Military Station Department under the Joint Logistics Department of the Chengdu Military Region, a large number of advanced units and individuals have emerged one after another, such as the 'Ten Heroes on the Sichuan-Tibet Line,' the 'Heroic Automobile Soldiers on the Sichuan-Tibet Line,' the 'Steel Transportation Class on the Sichuan-Tibet Line,' the 'Plateau Model Military Station,' and the 'Model Automobile Company on the Sichuan-Tibet Line,' which have been awarded honorary titles by the Ministry of National Defense and the Chengdu Military Region."

Wang Liang continued: "Today, I will choose the ten heroes of the Sichuan-Tibet line to tell you. I remember it was August 1967......"

Li Xianwen, deputy instructor of the third battalion of a certain automobile regiment of the joint logistics department of the Chengdu Military Region, was ordered to lead the 11 th and 12 companies to carry out the task of transporting combat readiness, speeding along the thousand-mile Sichuan-Tibet transportation line, and driving west to the Qilong Mountain area in Tibet.

Who would have thought that a serious landslide had just occurred in the Qilong Mountain section, the road was seriously blocked, and the convoy could no longer move forward.

At this time, Chen Hongguang, deputy company commander of the 12th Company, who was a member of the Communist Party, stood up and took the initiative to ask Ying to lead three soldiers to rush into the dangerous area to repair the road.

After a tenacious and painstaking work, they carved out a temporary passage through the rubble.

Deputy instructor Li Xianwen stood in the most dangerous place, observing the dangerous situation while directing the convoy to forcibly rush through the dangerous area.

Shortly after the convoy of the 12th Company passed, the convoy of the 11th Company rushed to the landslide site again.

And just then a new landslide happened.

I saw boulders rolling up and down the mountain, roaring to the sky, and the highway was seriously blocked.

In the face of danger, Yang Xingchun, commander of the 11th Company, was not afraid and immediately organized commanders and fighters to rush to repair.

However, the landslide is getting worse, not only is it impossible to repair the road, but even the safety of the troops is threatened.

Company commander Yang Xingchun concurrently served as the secretary of the party branch of the company, and he immediately convened a branch committee at the scene.

In the end, it was decided to withdraw the convoy to a safe area one kilometer away and observe the danger at any time in order to find an opportunity to pass.

In order to avoid accidents, Yang Xingchun gave the soldiers an order not to go to the danger area casually.

However, he himself and other cadres of the company went deep into the danger zone every day, facing the rolling flying rocks, risking their lives to observe and record the danger situation, studying the law of landslides, and being ready to lead the company to force their way through the danger zone at any time.

"On 28 August, the convoy of the 12th Company, led by Deputy Instructor Li Xianwen, was blocked at the western end of the dangerous area on the way back after completing the mission; in order to explore the situation of the landslide, Chen Hongguang, deputy company commander of the 12th Company, and Tan Rengui, deputy instructor, risked their lives to cross the blocking area that day and complete the rendezvous with the 11th Company that was blocked at the eastern end to jointly study measures to force the way through." Wang Liang said.

The next day, the landslide intensified, the danger expanded, and the boulder flying down from the mountain fell into the river, splashing a column of water one or two feet high, and a larger landslide was about to erupt.

In order to complete the task of combat readiness and transportation in a timely manner, the heroes of the automobile unit completely put their personal safety at risk, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, and they prefer to travel to the tiger mountains.

At noon that day, Deputy Instructor Li Xianwen first rushed into the danger zone from the west end.

The soldier who was outside to observe the danger for him, watching the flying stones continue to whizz over his head, shouted loudly: "Deputy instructor, come back quickly!" ”

He turned his head, and the warriors waved their hands, signaling that there was no problem, and continued on their way.

At the eastern end of the dangerous area, Yang Xingchun, commander of the 11 th Company, Chen Hongguang, deputy company commander, Cheng Defeng, Tan Rengui, deputy instructors, and Qu Yuelun, platoon commander, learned the news that deputy instructor Li Xianwen had rushed into the dangerous area by himself, and after discussing and unanimously deciding: Immediately go to the dangerous area to meet with the deputy instructor, study the battle plan together, and prepare to organize a convoy to pass through the dangerous area before the big collapse.

After hearing the news, Communist Party members and squad leaders Yang Qingzhong and Li Rongchang, and Communist Youth League members and new fighters Chen Changyuan and Li Xingfu also asked to go to the center of the dangerous area to survey the road, and they were approved by the company commander Yang Xingchun.

Wang Liang said: "So, the nine of them rushed into the dangerous area from the safe area at the west end together......
