0411 Encounter with a railway loading and unloading of a certain unit of the 13th Group Army

After coming out of Fan Jianguo's museum, Wang Liang and Sun Weimin broke up with Ma Fan and went straight to the train station.

Wang Liang's decision to return was too sudden, and he originally planned to stay in Chengdu for a few days before leaving, but the military order was like a mountain.

The ticket was not easy to buy, so I had to take the train.

At about half past ten in the morning, Wang Liang and Sun Weimin arrived at the station, but the train was delayed for two hours due to special reasons, and the two had to wait at the station.

While waiting, Wang Liang noticed that there was something wrong on the platform side of the station, so he walked there.

"Comrade, please stop, we are on a mission."

Wang Liang was politely stopped by a guard.

"Railway loading and unloading, bundling and reinforcing." As Wang Liang spoke, he took out his ID and handed it to the guards.

Wang Liang's words were enough to surprise the guards, and when he took the document again, he could only be described as shocked.

Railway loading and unloading, bundling and reinforcement.

Someone who has never been in the military would never say so accurately.

"Hello Chief!" In a trance, the guards came to their senses, isn't this Wang Liang?!!!

The cadre on duty hurriedly made a report to the commander, and in a few moments, a lieutenant colonel came running.

The lieutenant colonel stood up and saluted: "Good chief, Jin Zhijie, deputy commander of a synthetic brigade, reports to you." ”

Wang Liang nodded and asked, "Which group army are you from?" ”

"Report to the chief, we are from the 13th Army." The lieutenant colonel replied.

Sichuan Province belongs to the Western Theater, which has three group armies, the 13th, 21st, and 47th, under its jurisdiction.

"Thirteenth Army, good! Fully mechanized troops. It is the Category A group army that is best at fighting in mountains, plateaus, and tropical jungles in the whole army, and has the title of Tiger in the Mountains. Wang Liang praised.

Wang Liangke did not say nonsense at all, after the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the 13th Group Army participated in the Sino-Vietnamese, Sino-Indian War, Cambodian peacekeeping, Haiti peacekeeping, and African peacekeeping.

Internally, he participated in military operations such as the liberation of the southwest, the suppression of bandits in the southwest, the counterinsurgency in Tibet, and the counterinsurgency in Xinjiang.

As a result, the 13th Group Army was the only Category A group army that had combat transfers at or above the division level after 1989, and it was also the only army-level combat unit that participated in actual combat missions many times after 1995, and was one of the rapid reaction forces of the PLA.

Hearing the old chief's praise for his unit, the lieutenant colonel was very excited: "Chief, we will continue to work hard." ”

"Yes, okay." Wang Liang was very satisfied.

Because Wang Liang knew that what the lieutenant colonel said about making persistent efforts was not an empty word.

In 2008, in the second all-army large-scale mountain combat exercise, the 13th Group Army once again smashed the countermeasures tactics of other military regions that were specifically aimed at the mountain and jungle operations of the 13th Group Army, defeated the ace units of the whole army by a large margin, and shook the military observers of Southeast Asian countries.

In the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake, the 13th Army was dispatched, and the fastest troops traveled 400 kilometers to the scene in only three and a half hours, almost reaching zero preparation time.

Even in the most remote mountainous areas, it took less than seven hours to airdrop through the ground aviation units of the 13th Army.

On April 20, 2013, the earthquake in Ya'an, Sichuan, and the 13th Group Army assembled and set off in only 18 minutes.

"You're on a railroad loading and unloading mission? Can I come up to the platform and have a look? Wang Liang asked.

"Report to the chief, our recruits are undergoing training for bundling and reinforcement. Absolutely, please! ”

So, Wang Liang and Sun Weimin took advantage of the time to wait for the bus to visit the loading and unloading training of recruits of a synthetic brigade of the 13th Group Army.

China has an extensive railway network, and the variety of trains such as high-speed rail, bullet trains, green skins and freight cars is not new.

However, special trains of military transport vehicles loaded with equipment such as missile vehicles, tanks and artillery are rare.

How the hell did these missile cars, tanks and artillery get on the train? How is it fixed?

This is where our railway stevedores have to be asked.

With the help of ensuring that there were no secrets and with the consent of the on-site commander, Sun Weimin started a live broadcast of the grand occasion.

In the live footage, the missile car is driving onto the railway flatbed.

The driver is extremely cautious, and the guide is very attentive and meticulous.

Wang Liang introduced: "The integration of people and vehicles, precise positioning. If you want to drive a missile car on a narrow railway flat and achieve accurate positioning, it is usually a skilled veteran driver who has the opportunity to operate it. ”

"But even the best helmsman can get lost in the sea without a lighthouse to guide the course. At this time, the key role is played by the facilitator. If the cooperation between the guide and the driver is tacit enough, it can often make the vehicle positioning twice the result with half the effort. ”

Wang Liang understands these young soldiers too well, and there are still many tests ahead of them.

There is no skill in accurately positioning the missile car and driving it accurately onto the narrow railway flatbed.

If you have to find any skills, it is 'one minute on stage, ten years of work off the stage' style of hard training.

Finally, with the tacit cooperation of the driver and the guide, the missile car successfully drove onto the railway flatbed.

But their task is far from complete.

There is a more important task, which is bundling and reinforcing.

Trains run at high speeds, and even though the missile carts and tanks are heavy, bundling is still necessary.

Bundling and reinforcing is not an easy task, and just looking at the equipment needed can dazzle the recruits.

Limiters, triangles, square timbers, winch sticks, baffles, wire ropes, bundle reinforcing devices, ratchet fasteners, gaskets......

Wang Liang continued to popularize science to netizens who watched the live broadcast: "Laymen look at the excitement, insiders look at the doorway." ”

"From a physical point of view, bundling and reinforcement is not simple. Cars under 8 tons need to be secured with 4 ropes, 8 to 16 tons need to be secured with 8 ropes, and 16 to 25 tons need to be secured with 12 ropes. ”

"The rope and the stress point must be in a straight line, beware of loosening, and the fixed point must be symmetrical to ensure that the force is balanced......"

Wang Liang's introduction surprised the deputy brigade commander next to him, who was using a walkie-talkie to talk and command.

The lieutenant colonel didn't expect that the old chief would also be an expert.

"Chief, why don't you take command?" The lieutenant colonel invited Wang Liang to have a good time.

Wang Liang smiled bitterly, this is to test himself!

Wang Liang was not polite, but on the walkie-talkie, he began to give orders: "Investigate the freight station and loading and unloading platform." ”

"Report, the cargo terminal is normal."

"The loading and unloading platform works normally."

After hearing the reply, Wang Liang continued to give instructions: "Driver pay attention, in order to prevent the handbrake from failing, push the gear into reverse gear after parking." ”

Driver: "Gear is in reverse." ”

Wang Liang: "All kinds of security alerts are dispatched in place, and they will reply after they are in place." ”

"One set in place."

"Two groups in place."

"Four groups in place."

"Three sets in place."
