Chapter 777: The Suffering of the Border Guards!

The news of He Zhengdao's visit to Woye to inspect and comfort the troops was not spread until a few days after He Zhengdao left Woye. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 The spread of the info news made Ningxia Ma Jiajun finally confirm whose hand it was to suppress the bandits.

Even if Ma Hongkui felt that he was being fooled, he still had nothing to say. In the final analysis, if it weren't for his greed to find trouble with the Eighth Route Army, there would be no such things as they would have happened.

But no matter what, from the news that He Zhengdao personally came to Woye to command the battle, Ma Hongkui could already see that He Zhengdao attached great importance to the border issue. This also means that you really have to be careful when dealing with the Eighth Route Army in the future.

As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world. But for He Zhengdao, even if someone knows that he is not in Yulin at the moment, it is not easy to find his whereabouts.

After all, with the end of the battle of the Fertile Field, the Eighth Route Army successfully occupied the former horse bandits' old nest Wohu Mountain. Even though it was already winter, the Eighth Route Army's transfer of troops in this area was not suspended because of winter.

On the contrary, this winter, other areas plagued by horse bandits, seeing that the Eighth Route Army did not stop in winter, finally dispelled the idea of doing another job in winter. In their opinion, it is better to save a small life for a peaceful year.

He Zhengdao, who left the fertile field, changed all the civilian clothes he had earlier into the standard military uniform of the Eighth Route Army. As when he went out in the past, He Zhengdao still looked very inconspicuous in the team, even if someone saw him, they would not believe that he was the commander.

is young and tender, and sometimes gives He Zhengdao the best disguise. After all, in the eyes of many people, to be an important general of such a party, the age must not be young, and this face naturally has to be a little more mature to be like words!

He Zhengdao also inspected all the way along the defense line of the base area that the Eighth Route Army had just advanced, and even made a special trip to Wohu Mountain to express his condolences to the special division training and test troops who participated in the trial training and construction of the base area there.

The commander's presence and affirmation undoubtedly made the officers and men of the trial units participating in the operation feel very proud and excited. Even if they have to spend the Spring Festival in Wohu Mountain this year, many officers and soldiers feel that it is worth it.

If they don't come here this year, maybe they won't even have a chance to meet He Zhengdao. As long as it is a veteran of the independent column, it is clear that He Zhengdao will not appear in those troops with comfortable conditions when it comes to the Spring Festival.

On the contrary, the more difficult the conditions, the more likely He Zhengdao will appear. The more the troops on duty who are fighting on the front line, the more likely they are to meet this commander. He Zhengdao also used this form to appease the officers and soldiers of the troops who were still fighting on the front line during the Spring Festival.

Even the commanders are running around and can't take care of the Spring Festival, so what do they have to complain about?

After inspecting Wohu Mountain, He Zhengdao led a special operations detachment and a cavalry guard company to advance in the direction of Bayannur in the name of material supply troops. It is also an area that is currently a key construction area of the Northeast Anti-Japanese Coalition Army.

At present, most of the trade between the Eighth Route Army and the Soviet Union passes through this place. It can be said that this is also an important material supply line of the Eighth Route Army. Here, too, there were many cavalry and garrison troops.

When he arrived at the border guards on the border with Outer Mongolia, He Zhengdao looked at the soldiers living in improvised tents, and He Zhengdao also looked very guilty. Even if he knew that even in later generations, there would be such border guards.

But if it weren't for his insistence, it is estimated that the Eighth Route Army would not have sent troops to garrison this kind of border area. The reason is simple, in the eyes of many people, the Outer Mongolian army should not enter these places that nominally belong to China at will.

But He Zhengdao knows that if this place is not controlled now, this place may be invaded in the future. Even if the Outer Mongolian border guards advance 10 kilometers to the Huaxia side, then Huaxia may lose dozens or even hundreds of square kilometers of territory.

Therefore, He Zhengdao can be said to be fighting for every inch of land on the border issue. What's more, stationing troops on the border will also be conducive to reconnoitring some situations in Outer Mongolia and providing reference and preparation for future operations in Mongolia.

Looking at these officers and soldiers of the border defense force, who mostly dug holes and lived in tents, He Zhengdao specially called the company commander and company cadres of this front-line border guard post and asked: "Comrades, you have suffered!" ”

Listening to He Zhengdao's words, the cadres of the border defense company said with some embarrassment: "Commander, in fact, the military region has treated us very well, and the supply of materials has been given priority. Except for the cold spot and no one can be seen, there is no other difficulty.

And we here, changing guards every three months, it's too hard. If I really want to say it, I just feel a little bored. Except for some herdsmen who occasionally cross the border, there are not even many horse bandits, and there are no combat missions! ”

The words of the border company commander made He Zhengdao smile and said: "It seems that you, the company commander, are still a company commander who likes to fight!" It's just that you have to know that what you are doing now is no worse than fighting on the front line, you are defending the country!

I don't need to say more, you all know that the other side is there. Right now, we have set up a border post here to remind the people over there that this is our territory and they cannot cross the border to encroach on our interests.

If you're not here, then they might be able to build a military post on our side. When the time comes, the territory we will lose will not be a little bit of a star. Soldiers, when it is your duty to defend your home and country, you are fulfilling your duty to defend the country! ”

As soon as he heard this, the border company commander also nodded and said, "This situation is really possible." This year, our border guard post has already encountered several Mongolian scouts. These people are very arrogant! ”

Facing the indignation on the face of the border company commander, He Zhengdao smiled and said, "It's okay!" Let them be arrogant for a few years, and when we get rid of the little devils, I believe they won't be arrogant.

Although they have now declared independence, our military and civilians have not agreed. Now they always feel that they have a backer to despise us. When we have the strength, we will have to recover this land sooner or later.

The soil laid down by our ancestors cannot be invaded by anyone at will. For some traitors and a group of selfish people, we will also bring them down in the future. But all of this, it takes time to wait, you know? ”

The instructor of the border defense company, who was sitting together for a meeting and discussion, said a little cautiously: "Commander, do we want to recover Outer Mongolia in the future?" ”

For such a clear inquiry, He Zhengdao did not nod or deny it: "This kind of thing, when the time comes, you will naturally know." Now all you have to do is to nail it here and defend the country.

Although I received a report on the work of the Wuyuan Army Division earlier, I really did not expect your conditions to be so difficult. When spring begins, I will order the military sub-district to send an engineer unit to build you a barracks and watchtower here.

In any case, guarding the border is a very hard and lonely task. But we are soldiers, and we always have to make some sacrifices. If no one comes to guard the country and suffers from this, then who will take care of the security of this border? ”

Such a commitment undoubtedly made the cadres of the border defense company very happy. With barracks and outposts, it won't be so hard for them to guard the border. After all, living in caves and tents every day is not like that!

But He Zhengdao also has difficulties, to build such a border post camp on the border, it will cost a lot of money. And right now, in He Zhengdao's hands, there are also more places to spend money, and every money has to be spent on the blade!

But seeing the situation of the border defense company in front of him, He Zhengdao felt that the border troops were also troops guarding the country, and they still needed to be decorated. There is a barracks and a sentry post, which is also more formal.

Worst of all, there is such a forward post, and it is possible to station more troops here in the future. Even the teams that entered and exited Outer Mongolia could stop at the outpost from time to time to replenish their supplies.

That night, He Zhengdao specially asked the special operations detachment to roast a few whole sheep at the camp where the frontier company was resting, and even put two jars of wine to have dinner with the officers and men of the frontier company. Such an atmosphere made many soldiers of the border defense company feel the same as the New Year.

During the dinner, He Zhengdao also fully affirmed the contributions made by these soldiers to the country. At the same time, he also said that letting them live in caves and tents is also a dereliction of duty on his part, and he will definitely find a way to improve the conditions of the border troops next year.

Hearing a commander apologize to them warmed the hearts of many soldiers. At the end of the day, these fighters don't ask for much, they just want to be recognized and affirmed by others.

Although they knew that He Zhengdao would only stay in their company for one day, he would leave early the next morning. But for the officers and men of the whole company, today's experience will always be remembered. And they will also contribute their life's strength to defending the border.

By the time the border battalion, which was in charge of managing this place, heard the news and rushed to it, it had already learned that He Zhengdao had left. The border battalion commander felt pity, but he also knew that He Zhengdao was so capricious.

Even if the conditions of the border battalion are better, He Zhengdao will not go. Even when he went to the defense area of his battalion, He Zhengdao would not say hello in advance, and directly found the most remote border defense company station.

It's just that after listening to the report of the border company commander, the border battalion commander was also very excited: "Okay! Some commanders personally promised that next year our days should be much better. There are barracks and outposts, and we are like that! ”

As a matter of fact, the commander of the frontier battalion also reported to the military sub-district, hoping that the military sub-district would raise a sum of money to improve the conditions of the border guard company. But the problem is that the military sub-district simply can't come up with this money.

Now with He Zhengdao's commitment, the border battalion commander feels that next year, the garrison conditions of the border troops in the entire Bayannur area should be greatly improved. In this way, the soldiers who joined the army can also be retained.

After all, the border troops are currently also garrison troops, and such troops are not treated as well as the main forces. Even if there are some subsidies, the conditions are too difficult, and sometimes no one dares to come if they want to recruit soldiers! (To be continued.) )
