"Second Lieutenant Cheng, I see that the morale of your company is a bit threatening? Anything you can't figure out? "After driving far from the cargo station, there is still a constant flow of vehicles coming and going on the road, most of them military trucks. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Waited until the convoy was far away from the city, the vehicles on the road gradually became scarce, and the speed of the convoy increased a lot, Zheng Shangjin finally asked.

Cheng Nan took off his military hat and scratched his head a little embarrassed:

"That's right, Commander Zheng, our division is full of 20,000 people, but up to now, there are only 15,000 people, and many companies have been transferred to the main force as a whole and have become real field officers and soldiers, but our company has not moved!

"When we accepted the task of escorting the convoy in the evening, the first company accepted the task of the 20th Tank Division, and the third company was to escort supplies to the 26th Tank Division, and only we were sent to the headquarters of the Seventh Army. Well, to the point that you can't see tanks and armored vehicles with your own eyes, the fighters don't have a taste in their hearts! ”

"I see!"

Zheng Shangjin laughed: "Haha, this time you guessed wrong, I'll tell you the truth, if your company is the combat material to escort the tank division, if you can't reach the destination, you will be replaced by the armored soldiers who come out to greet you, the tank force is our trump card, and the whereabouts need to be kept strictly secret, only they know where they are!" But if you follow us, your company will keep moving through the front line to the front line to the front line. ”

"Huh!? Are you sure? Then will we encounter devils and Japanese and Indian soldiers? Cheng Nan was a little thorough, and suddenly became excited.

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, because the route traveled by our transport regiment has troops like your division along the way to defend and respond, but judging from the recent situation, we have suffered many attacks and frequent dangers, so we will ask you to escort the car recently."

"The devil is so bold that he dares to go around behind us! If we run into them, we must beat them up! ”

Cheng Nan said with a fluttering eyebrow, seeing Zheng Shangjin smiling but not smiling, thinking that he was laughing at himself for not seeing the world, and hurriedly explained:

"My hometown is Wei Village, the northern suburb of Lushun, Liaoning Province, after I have a memory, the Japanese troops stationed in Port Arthur often come to our village to burn and loot, *** after our family fled into the Guannei, first fled to Shanghai, and then fled from Shanghai to the southwest after 813, our family hates devils to the bone!

"I graduated from the non-commissioned officer school in September last year, because the formation of a class B unit requires a large number of grassroots commanders, blindly assigned to the class B unit, first as a squad leader, then as a platoon leader, and now the company commander has not really fought a war, and my heart is very angry, but there is no way!"

Zheng Shangjin hurriedly said: "I didn't laugh at you!" Although I am from Sichuan, like the people of the whole country, I hate devils! It's a pity that when I was in the non-commissioned officer school, I majored in automobiles, so I didn't go to the front line to fight, but I fought a few times with the devils who attacked and harassed the logistics supply line!

"The devils who can infiltrate our logistics rear, generally not too many, to let them attack the main battle force in the transfer or a town with strong defense, it is completely looking for death, but attacking the logistics supply convoy is more than one stone, not only can you get the basic cut off after infiltrating our side after the attack, but also destroy our supplies, causing the front line to be undersupplied, and win the first opportunity for a head-on collision!

"However, we are not vegetarians either, Commander Wei, look at the ...... here."

Zheng Shangjin stretched out his hand and knocked on the windshield in front of the cab with his fingers, and the thick impact sound of "clang" told Ensign Wei Nan that the thickness of this glass was different from ordinary glass.

Cheng Nan stretched out his hand, touched it, and looked at Zheng Shangjin: "Commander Zheng, is this tempered glass, I heard that the chairman's car uses this kind of glass, good ......."

"That's right!"

Zheng Shangjin nodded: "This is tempered glass, but it is worse than the tempered glass used in the chairman's car, but it can also prevent the vertical shooting of the high-level dual-purpose machine gun of arsenic~~ caliber at a distance of five hundred meters." All around this cab are made of the same glass 'separation', and even the carriage has been similarly bulletproofed to prevent the enemy's bullets from causing explosions! The enemy wants to solve us without much effort! ”

"It seems that the superiors really attach great importance to the safety of the transport fleet...... Commander Zheng, how many attacks have you encountered? Cheng Nan turned his head and found that there were two general-purpose machine guns behind the cab, and the glass on both sides was composite, and there were several holes that could obviously be used to block enemy fire in the form of opening and closing.

Imagine that on the plain, enemies from all directions rushed over, but they could not knock on the turtle shell of the car, and could only passively accept the dense rain of bullets from behind the bulletproof glass in the wheelhouse, what was that scene?

After all, the route of the supply convoy is a large rear, or it will not be long before the nearby guards will arrive, and the convoy will turn the corner at that time.

"We have never been attacked in the past, but since the attack was launched on the 16th of last month, we have been attacked by devils five times. The devil wants to make full use of the width of the battlefield and play guerrilla warfare with us, but we are the ancestors of guerrillas, and we are fully prepared to prevent their sneak attacks! ”

Zheng Shangjin said that I was here, and lifted the sleeves of his jacket, only to see a thick gauze wrapped around his elbows.

"Alas, if it weren't for this wound, I would have driven a car today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have time to chat with you, maybe this is fate!"

"It's the mouth! Thank you, Brother Zheng, for telling me so many things! ”

By this time, Weinan had completely opened his mind and began to call the commander of the transport regiment of the well-informed main group army brothers and sisters, and chatted about family life.

Cheng Nan saw that there was no big problem in front of the cab, so he was afraid that there would be problems with his mother-in-law and children at home! It's school time, and the children are all attending boarding school in Hertra, so when they are at home during the winter and summer vacations, they will have to be scared! ”

"Woo one by one......"

As we talked, the whine of a train came from the north.

Gou Shuji hurriedly stood on the sentry platform on the side of the Daoban, picked up the flag, and issued a safety signal to indicate, and soon, a long train with a roar and a huge vibration roar passed at high speed in front of the Daoban house and the sentry box.

Zhu Guanghui and Niu Dezhi stood in the room, looking at the situation of the train through the window, and saw that soldiers wearing camouflage uniforms and loaded guns could be seen in the middle of each wagon, and the responsibility of these soldiers was to ensure the absolute safety of the train! The high-power locomotives produced by Taiyuan Locomotive Factory provide a strong output power, dragging long train wagons and moving quickly towards the south.

When the train disappeared on the southern horizon, Gou Shuji got off the sentry platform and returned to the Taoist house.

Zhu Guanghui knew that Gou Shuji had a relative who was a leader in the railway branch and had always been well-informed, so he asked: "Brother Shuji, so many trains pass through the railway during this time, and the front line must be consumed a lot, right?" I've never seen so many train wagons in my life. ”

Gou Shuji nodded: "The big battle and the victory are certain!" I heard that so far, all fronts have won, but the attrition is also known...... Our main railway line is mainly responsible for the supply of the front-line offensive troops in the East Indies, and we are responsible for the food, drink, pulling, sprinkling, sleeping, and use of almost eight group armies, and all the weapons and ammunition produced in Mongolia, Siberia and Central Asia have to be sent to the front line through us, so the transportation task is a little heavier, and the greater the responsibility on our shoulders!

"Fortunately, this year, our railway has carried out double-track construction, and I heard that an electrified line will be built next to it next year, so that the capacity can be increased explosively. In addition, the Ministry of Railways is planning a railway from Kunduz, Baghlan and Dushi to Charikaar, Kabul and Peshawar, which will pass through the Hindu Kush and Khyber Mountains, which is extremely difficult to build, but in order to strengthen the central government's control over Afghanistan, the construction of the Eastern Railway is imperative! ”

"Good boy!"

Niu Dezhi stuck out his tongue: "The altitude of those two mountain ranges can generally be more than two or three thousand meters, and even the river valley area is almost more than a thousand meters, and it is estimated that it will take a lot of work to build that railway!" However, we now have 30 engineering divisions alone, plus nearly a million railway workers, if we really want to establish a project, it will not be a problem to repair it! ”

"Who's to say it isn't?"

As soon as Gou Shuji agreed, he heard the bell ringing in the Taoist room, stopped talking at the moment, and pulled the two of them away:

"Come, go to the cafeteria for lunch, eat you and go back, go home early, and the family will be relieved!"

The dormitory is located more than 200 meters away from the dormitory next to the railway, and a row of tall trees separates the railway from it, so that the noise pollution at night is much smaller.

The dormitory is a two-story red brick building with a total of ten units, of which units 1 to 4 are the apartments of the four families of this Taoist class, the fifth unit is the conference room, the sixth to ninth units are now empty, and the tenth unit is where the food group and the dining hall are located.

The dormitories along the way are all of a similar design, with the first floor for living and the second floor for sundries. When it was built, the heating in winter was considered, and the hot kang in the northeast was built, so that in winter, in addition to the need to go out for work, you can nest in the house for the winter at other times!

It is said that this year's year-end bonus is a dry battery radio for each household, and when the time comes, the separation between the Taoist class and the outside world may really be broken.

Next to the dormitory building of this Taoist class is a small stream, and all the land around the stream has been reclaimed, and now the plateau is already hazy in autumn, the huge corn cobs are golden, and the red and sweet potato seedlings are full of green, and it seems that it is a good harvest year.

After a hearty lunch, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. Since they couldn't drink alcohol during work, although they enjoyed a sumptuous bear meat feast, Zhu Guanghui and Niu Dezhi did not drink a drop of wine, and set foot on the way home with a gun and a long hammer on their backs, along another railway, knocking on the tracks from time to time, heading north.

Based on experience, the two were not expected to arrive home until half past five in the afternoon. It can be said that it is the selfless dedication of thousands of Taoist workers that has ensured the smooth flow of the main arteries of the railway and ensured that the war materials can be quickly transported to the front line from the rear.

The elongated wagon that Zhu Guanghui and Niu Dezhi had seen in Daoban followed the railway all the way south, merging into the main line of the Asia-Europe Railway at Quetta, and then turned eastward, until it gradually slowed down in the city of Deokr in Bihar.

In Bihar, although the train was attacked by several waves of indigenous armed forces who tried to loot, they were hit by the Ambulance Army's armed force to the teeth, resulting in heavy casualties.

At two p.m. on October 8, the train pulled into the newly occupied railway station of Deokir, a city in the southeastern state of Bihar, which, like the city of Mongil on the south bank of the Ganges River, has become an important supply point for the Anjia army.

Here, the supplies transported by train are quickly unloaded and transferred to the place where they are needed to be used on the front line by a large number of transport trucks on the freight yard.

"Tick Tick One ...... One"

The car horn sounded, and a large lift forklift slowly drove over, driven by a young and beautiful young woman. I saw that she was wearing a blue canvas overalls, skillfully turning the steering wheel, and when meeting with the oncoming car, she pressed the horn as a reminder and saluted each other, and several officers and soldiers passing by next to her showed admiration on their faces.

The female driver's name is Fan Yaqin, who is only 18 years old this year, from Jingxian County, Xiangxi, and is a Tujia girl.

Thanks to the same political system implemented in Xiangxi and southern Sichuan, Fan Yaqin entered primary school at the age of 11, graduated from middle school at the age of 16, and chose to be admitted to Qiancheng Senior Vocational and Technical College to learn special vehicle driving skills. After a year of training, she surpassed many male classmates and became the first in her class.

In a variety of special vehicles, Fan Yaqin is best at driving forklifts and excavators, during the graduation sampling examination, she under the gaze of the examiner, the huge car and accurately stretched into the narrow gap, accurately transported the goods to the destination, the whole process is like a peer, without a sense of condensation, won a round of applause at the scene.

When the 200,000 railway army rushed to repair the Afghan railway last year, Fan Yaqin's superb technology of driving the excavator made other male drivers sigh to themselves, her digging, flattening, throwing, sprinkling, pressing and other actions, all in one go, the same fuel consumption, the same construction time, Fan Yaqin can always use more accurate manipulation than others, complete more efficient work, because of her excellent performance, awarded the honorary title of "model pacesetter" by the General Political Department.

With the start of the war on the Eastern Front, Fan Yaqinmin transferred to the army and was transferred to the transfer center of the General Logistics Department, where he was responsible for loading and unloading goods for the officers and soldiers on the front line.

From the Alla Railway Station on the east bank of the Song River to the current Daioker Railway Station, Fan Yaqin, who is young, beautiful, full of vigor and always has outstanding performance, has become a beautiful scenery, and was appointed as the captain of the transport team by the Logistics Department of the Front Army and awarded the rank of lieutenant.

Today, she drives a huge take-off and landing forklift, transporting a wide variety of standard boxes back and forth, between the storage yard and the loading dock. Although these boxes are clearly marked with warning signs such as "arms" and "handle with care", Fan Yaqin is not affected at all, and always loads one standard box after another into the truck bed quickly and accurately.

When Fan Yaqin filled an eight-ton truck with a forklift, a huge convoy of up to 100 trucks officially ended the loading.

The captain of this convoy, Major Zheng Shangjin, commander of the First Transport Regiment of the Logistics Rice Heavy Support Brigade of the Seventh Group Army, came to the forklift at a trot, blocked the forklift's way, and said to Fan Yaqin with a smile:

"Captain Fan, thank you for helping us quickly and efficiently complete the loading task, and when the battle is over, I will invite you to dinner, how about chatting about your heart?"

Major Zheng Shangjin is a graduate of the Syrian Native Official School majoring in automobile soldiers, 24 years old this year, is already a veteran of six years of military experience, because he has been in the army for a long time, there is no time to fall in love, and now he finally sees a goal worth pursuing, and immediately seizes the opportunity to pay tribute.

Fan Yaqin's pretty face turned red: "Head Zheng, thank you for your kindness, but we have rules that we can't accept other people's banquets." ”

When Zheng Shangjin heard this, he hurriedly explained: "It's not a banquet, it's my private invitation to your home...... This Indian meal is very unpalatable, I invite you to eat our Sichuan hot pot. I know that you Xiangxi also want to eat spicy seeds, I will make a table out by myself, with sesame oil and garlic dipping sauce, to ensure that you like to eat! ”

A middle-aged male driver driving a forklift next to him passed by, and when he heard Zheng Shangjin's words, he stopped and quipped: "Captain Zheng, please can't tell me when the time comes?" Don't be a patriarch! ”

"I'll ...... them one by one"

When Zheng Shangjin heard this, his face became the same as Fan Yaqin.

Fan Yaqin saw Major Zheng's embarrassed appearance, "flutter"

smiled, while driving the forklift, turning the steering wheel around Zheng Shangjin, and replied: "Captain Zheng, if you can find me at that time, and I have a holiday, I will be a guest at your house!" ”

There was a whistle nearby, and several soldiers of the transport regiment got out from behind the carriage and shouted loudly, Zheng Shangjin was sweet in his heart, but he pretended to be serious on his face, and scolded several soldiers: "Go, go, don't you check the condition of the car quickly, there is a problem on the road, I will ask you!" ”

The male driver of the forklift saw it funny, laughed, and drove away again.

At this time, the officers and soldiers of nearly a company ran into the freight yard, and the first person came to Zheng Shangjin's side, standing up and saluting: "Report, I am Second Lieutenant Cheng Nan, the commander of the second company of the first battalion of the fifth regiment of the Oaker garrison division, and our company is responsible for protecting your convoy to the front line." Zheng Shangjin knew that the garrison troops were all Category B troops formed last year, and they were responsible for the task of defending the local garrison, and at the same time, if the main force was short, it would also be filled by officers and soldiers from the nearby garrison troops, and in a sense, Category B troops were more like supplementary troops of the main field army.

"Hello Company Commander Cheng, I am Zheng Shangjin, the major commander of the First Transport Regiment of the Logistics Crow Heavy Support Brigade of the Seventh Group Army, and I will trouble you along the way."

After Zheng Shangjin finished checking the documents handed over by Ensign Nan, he saluted him, and then introduced himself.

"No trouble, this is what we should do!" After Cheng Nan answered solemnly, he walked to his troops, and the whole team prepared to get into the car.

Zheng Shangjin was a little surprised, he found that the company sent to take charge of the escort task seemed to have some morale problems, and was about to ask, when there was a "Didi" whistle from the freight yard urging the departure.

Now the entire railway station freight yard is like a busy material transfer gear, running efficiently and closely, and any problem in any link will affect the overall situation. Because Zheng Shangjin's transport team did not leave on time, there are now many vehicles waiting outside the freight yard.

Zheng Shangjin hurriedly walked to the side of the second lieutenant Wei Nan and ordered them to get into the car, and soon a company of soldiers sat in the passenger seat of the convoy, some cars sat two, some cars did one, Zheng Shangjin took Wei Nan to his side and got into the first transport truck. "Second Lieutenant Cheng, I see that the morale of your company is a bit threatening? Anything you can't figure out? "After driving far from the cargo station, there is still a constant flow of vehicles coming and going on the road, most of them military trucks. When the convoy was far away from the city, the vehicles on the road gradually became scarce, and the speed of the convoy increased a lot, Zheng Shangjin finally asked.

Cheng Nan took off his military hat and scratched his head a little embarrassed:

"That's right, Commander Zheng, our division is full of 20,000 people, but up to now, there are only 15,000 people, and many companies have been transferred to the main force as a whole and have become real field officers and soldiers, but our company has not moved!

Well, to the point that you can't see tanks and armored vehicles with your own eyes, the fighters don't have a taste in their hearts! ”

"I see!"

Zheng Shangjin laughed: "Haha, this time you guessed wrong, I'll tell you the truth, if your company is the combat material to escort the tank division, if you can't reach the destination, you will be replaced by the armored soldiers who come out to greet you, the tank force is our trump card, and the whereabouts need to be kept strictly secret, only they know where they are!" But if you follow us, your company will keep moving through the front line to the front line to the front line. ”

"Huh!? Are you sure? Then will we encounter devils and Japanese and Indian soldiers? Cheng Nan was a little thorough, and suddenly became excited.

"It stands to reason that it shouldn't be, because the route traveled by our transport regiment has troops like your division along the way to defend and respond, but judging from the recent situation, we have suffered many attacks and frequent dangers, so we will ask you to escort the car recently."

"However, we are not vegetarians either, Commander Wei, look at the ...... here."

Zheng Shangjin stretched out his hand and knocked on the windshield in front of the cab with his fingers, and the thick impact sound of "clang" told Ensign Wei Nan that the thickness of this glass was different from ordinary glass.

Cheng Nan stretched out his hand, touched it, and looked at Zheng Shangjin: "Commander Zheng, is this tempered glass, I heard that the chairman's car uses this kind of glass, good ......."

"That's right!"

Zheng Shangjin nodded: "This is tempered glass, but it is worse than the tempered glass used in the chairman's car, but it can also prevent the vertical shooting of the high-level dual-purpose machine gun of arsenic~~ caliber at a distance of five hundred meters." All around this cab are made of the same glass 'separation', and even the carriage has been similarly bulletproofed to prevent the enemy's bullets from causing explosions! The enemy wants to solve us without much effort! ”

"It seems that the superiors really attach great importance to the safety of the transport fleet...... Commander Zheng, how many attacks have you encountered? Cheng Nan turned his head and found that there were two general-purpose machine guns behind the cab, and the glass on both sides was composite, and there were several holes that could obviously be used to block enemy fire in the form of opening and closing.

Imagine that on the plain, enemies from all directions rushed over, but they could not knock on the turtle shell of the car, and could only passively accept the dense rain of bullets from behind the bulletproof glass in the wheelhouse, what was that scene?

Zheng Shangjin said that I was here, and lifted the sleeves of his jacket, only to see a thick gauze wrapped around his elbows.

"Alas, if it weren't for this wound, I would have driven a car today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have time to chat with you, maybe this is fate!"

"It's the mouth! Thank you, Brother Zheng, for telling me so many things! ”

By this time, Weinan had completely opened his mind and began to call the commander of the transport regiment of the well-informed main group army brothers and sisters, and chatted about family life.

Cheng Nan saw a bottle of carminative oil in front of the cab, reached out to take it, and asked, "Brother Zheng, do you use this to refresh yourself on weekdays?" ”

"It's usually smoking!"

Zheng Shangjin smiled, pointed to the carminator and said, "This can also relieve fatigue, but it is mainly to help the soldiers who are suffering from motion sickness." You must know that the brothers who come to escort the car may not all be free of motion sickness, and properly rubbing some can effectively reduce the symptoms of motion sickness, otherwise they will vomit in the cab and everyone will be uncomfortable! ”

Cheng Nan nodded, deeply convinced.

Four hours later, in the middle of the night, the convoy pulled into a barracks and stopped in an open field.

As the car window opened, Cheng Nan heard the fierce gunfire coming from the east, and he looked at the eastern sky in surprise, only to see bullet marks flying in the sky, like fire rain meteors, which was extremely spectacular!

(To be continued)
