[351] For the liberation of the whole country into Tibet, for the serfs turned over and fought the war

Mr. Liu smiled and said: "This is not bad, if they can really eat our sealed old goods like this, it must be a good thing." Well, let's find a time to have a meal with Mr. Cao and see what they think about investing in railways in Africa. If they are interested, then we can contribute jishu manpower, they will pay money, and we will go to Africa to build a line together, so that China's railways can go out with a bigger step. ”

……………………

1950, the southwest of the Motherland.

Since North China received a large number of cars and tractors as a means of transportation, the state decided to provide 30,000 mules and 8,000 horses from North China to the southwest. The Southwest Military Region should spare no effort to ensure that the 18 th Army entering Tibet is well supplied.

Yes, the center added the word sufficient to zuihou.

Historically, in addition to the troops that entered Tibet from Sichuan, the independent cavalry detachment of the 18th Army also entered Tibet from Xinjiang, and due to the difficult conditions, there was a large number of non-combat attrition. Therefore, this time, they simply only took the Sichuan-Tibet line all the way into Tibet, and no longer sent cavalry teams to enter Tibet from the Xin-Tibet line, which is a no-man's land route at an altitude of 4,000 meters.

"Comrades, since dawn, we have been walking for almost a morning, everyone first rests in place, eats a ham sausage, and after eating, we go over the mountain, and we will light a fire over there for lunch." Pham Minh, commander of the 52nd Regiment of the 155th Division, led the horse and shouted in front of the team.

Political Commissar Jiang Hongquan smiled and said, "Old Fan, are you greedy again?" Although each person sends two ham sausages a day, but you also save a little, I see that the life of the Tibetans in the mountains on this road is very hard, I think, let's save some ham sausages, and wait for the next time we go to the village, send them to those poor people. ”

Fan Ming stood in place, bit off the lead seal on the head of the ham intestine and spit it on the ground, and said: "The division commander said that the military commander requires our advance team to ensure nutrition and calories at all times. During the march, two 100-gram ham sausages a day were a must. These four taels of happy meat are in the stomach, so they have the strength to climb the mountain. When we arrive at the village and stop and garrison without marching, it is enough for us to divide the ham sausages. Nowadays, the mule and horse teams are delivering food from the back to the front every day, and the logistics are very smooth. ”

Jiang Hongquan smiled, and did not eat the ham sausage in his pocket, but just stood there, watching the soldiers in the regiment untie their new army backpacks and put them on the ground, standing or sitting and nibbling on the ham sausage. Red casings spilled all over the valley for a while.

Fan Ming swallowed a piece of ham sausage and said, "Old ginger, you taste it, this one is fish-flavored!" Hey, it's delicious! It's fresher than the chicken I ate yesterday! ”

Jiang Hongquan said: "No, I have it." ”

Head Fan took three bites into two, stuffed all the fish-flavored 100 grams of ham sausage into his mouth, and swallowed it after munching happily, which was very enjoyable.

"Oh, old ginger, it's so comfortable for us to eat now. I want to be at the beginning! When advancing into the Dabie Mountain, crossing the Yellow River in the south, and fighting in southwest Lu, where is there such a good food, at that time, if you want to give me a meal of sausages, I will definitely be able to fight all the way to Nanjing!

You see, you see! Oh, our warriors, that's a howl! Gee! I dare to say that this way has been eaten like this, and all of them are big victories! See the imperialist and reactionary troops, no matter how many of them there are, no matter how far they come from! Even if a whole army of them came to surround them! My 155th regiment can eat him raw! Believe it or not! ”

Jiang Hongquan said: "Old Fan, I said that you can die if you don't brag?" If the commander hears it, he may ask you to carry a single army next time, do you believe it? Don't cry then!

However, our 155th regiment is a must to win the battle! Otherwise, what are you calling our 155th regiment for? It's just that I eat meat all day long, and I'm a little distressed by it. And the mule and horse team, you look at the daily sending forward, but the death is also terrible, let's just say that in the days when our group entered Tibet, I think there are mules and horses to eat every night. ”

Fan Ming said with a smile: "What's distressed, the central government has given us 30,000 mules for the Eighteenth Army, and if you die, you will eat it, and those who survive are good livestock." ”

Jiang Hongquan said worriedly: "You know how to eat, this mule costs more than 300 yuan for a bite!" In the past month, 21 of the mules carrying food and ammunition for our 155th regiment alone have fallen to death, and 18 have died of exhaustion, which is 14,500 yuan! I'm not counting our horses, but we've even had two dead horses! ”

Fan Ming said: "Old Jiang, this is a war march, can you not count it so carefully, didn't the logistics unit of our regiment still bring four hundred yaks!" The commander said that these 400 yaks are here to pull goods on the one hand, and to eat meat for everyone on the other hand! Hehe, the commander also told everyone not to feel distressed, and to replenish their nutrition well. I calculated that when we arrived in Qamdo, the 400 yaks hadn't had time to start eating. We can't eat all the grain on the back of the oxen.

Besides, you see the road our group is taking now, it is getting harder and harder!

In addition, the altitude hypoxia reaction of the soldiers in the regiment is also becoming more and more severe, headaches and nausea all day long, and breathing difficulties abound, and the soldiers generally report that their limbs are weak and it is difficult to walk. In this case, what can we do? It's to make the big guy eat better, and better! Just like the commander said before leaving, our 155th Regiment is the main attack! There is meat for a meal! ”

Jiang Hongquan nodded and said, "I don't object to everyone eating better, but I'm always a little distressed." I think when we first joined the army, we saw meat once or twice a month, and it was enjoyable. Now, when I see meat, I feel distressed.

However, what the commander said is true, this plateau mountain road is really difficult to walk. In this June, it can snow in the middle of the night, and the temperature is below zero! During the day, people can't open their eyes and sweat all over! When climbing the mountains, not to mention that people can't walk, even the mules, horses, and livestock are all panting, and there are even mules that can't get up directly on the ground!

In my opinion, if it weren't for such a first-class meal at the moment, there would have been more than just a dozen comrades transferred to the rear by our regiment's health team, at least seventy or eighty people. ”

Fan Ming said: "Yes, then what are you still feeling sorry for, can animals be compared with people." ”

After that, Fan Ming gave an order to the guards beside him: "Tell everyone, continue to set off and start climbing the mountain!" ”

The head of the regiment, Pham Minh, really underestimated the hill in front of him, and began to climb it at eleven o'clock in the morning, and the whole group did not climb it until two o'clock in the afternoon!

Pham Minh ran up and down before, and commanded the soldiers of the whole regiment to carefully climb over this mountain pass. At this moment, when the whole regiment had turned over, he sat down on the pebble beach at the bottom of the mountain, panting, squeezing out his voice with difficulty, and ordered the guards:

"Dagui, hurry, command, cooking class, put, pressure cooker rack, get up, cook, boil, water! Put the mule that just now, panting and exhausted, killed, for everyone to eat, meat! ”

Dagui said: "Commander, are you okay?" “

Fan Ming simply lay on the ground, gasped into his lungs, and said softly: "It's very good, it's just a panic in the chest, just lie down for a while......"

……………………

At the headquarters of the 18th Army in the rear, Commander Zhang Guohua was making a speech to the 154th Regiment of the second echelon entering Tibet before the expedition:

“…… At a time when the Chinese People's Liberation War won a decisive victory, liberated most of the motherland's mainland, and was about to march into Tibet and liberate the Tibetan people, the imperialists and a handful of pro-imperialist separatists in Tibet headed by the Regency of Dazha acted in cahoots, carried out ugly performances of "independence" and "anti-communism," and did everything possible to obstruct Tibet's liberation! ”

The soldiers of the 154th Regiment, who were neatly sitting on the small horses, pricked up their ears and listened quietly.

Commander Zhang continued:

"At the end of last year! The purpose of the expulsion of the Han Chinese and Kuomintang government personnel stationed in Tibet by the local authorities in Tibet is to prevent the Tibetan people from being liberated by the People's Liberation Army (PLA) when the whole country is about to be liberated, but will further lose their independence and freedom and become colonies of foreign imperialism!

At present, the imperialists are still scheming and have published through the United Press of the United States that the Tibetan authorities will send so-called "goodwill missions" to Britain, the United States, India, and Nepal and send representatives to Beijing to express their "independence."

In order to peacefully resolve the Tibet issue, we have dispatched the Qinghai Peace Persuasion Group with the Living Buddha as the chief representative, but at present, the comrades of the Qinghai Peace Persuasion Group we have sent to Tibet have also been detained by the imperialist lackeys of the reactionary Tibetan authorities!

More than 500 pro-imperialist elements among the lamas recited the Black Sutra on the mountain, hung up mantra flags, prayed for heavy snowfall, sealed the mountain, and froze to death the troops of our People's Liberation Army entering Tibet! Curse us to be like the caravan of the historical Xi'an generals Erlunt and Ma Bufang, completely trapped in the frozen abyss, and the whole army will be annihilated. ”

"Hit!"

"That's right! Beat! ”

"Beat these bad water thieves!"

The cadres and soldiers in the audience were furious and shouted with their fists.

Commander Zhang continued to read the text of his speech while waving his fist, saying: "The CPC Central Committee has authorized the Xinhua News Agency to publish an editorial entitled 'Foreign Aggressors Will Never Be Allowed to Annexe China's Territory -- Tibet.'" And we, the Chinese People's Liberation Army, as the armed forces of the party, must of course resolutely smash all imperialists and their lackeys who dare to attack!

Tibet is China's territory! No foreign aggression will be tolerated! The Tibetan people are an inseparable part of the Chinese people, and no foreign country will be allowed to divide them! This is the unswerving policy of the Chinese people, the Communist Party of China and the Chinese People's Liberation Army!

Therefore, the chairman ordered us to march to Tibet at once! Completely, cleanly, and completely smash the evil serfdom system, and crush the dark rule of the feudal lamas and reactionary shili who have defected to imperialism! Liberate all of China! ”

The soldiers in the audience stood up and shouted like a tsunami:

"Liberate all of China!"

"Liberate all of China!"

"Liberate all of China!"

Commander Zhang Guohua stood solemnly and said: "Now I order!" The 18th Regiment of the 52nd Division of the 154th Army has now ended its oath meeting in Tibet, and the whole regiment will set off immediately! ”

Finally rushed out, eat a bite to eat, and ask for a ticket here. Xiexie everyone.
