Chapter 55: Unit 86831
86831 is the number of the troops, subordinate to the Air Force, according to the need for secrecy, the name of the troops is divided into two kinds of internal and external, external number, can be open to the public, correspondence, items are sent, are used as the number, the internal is called the code, indicating the nature and subordination of the troops, belongs to the category of confidentiality, can not be leaked to the outside world.
This unit has a very good history, has a glorious historical tradition, has a brilliant record, initially it represented a division, in 85 the chief designer announced a major disarmament, downsized into a regiment, before we arrived, again reduced to a battalion.
Although it was reduced to a battalion, the size of the division was still there, and there was a hill in the middle of the camp area, which was about the same height as the Phoenix Mountain in his hometown, but it was more wide, and there were barracks scattered around it, occupying a large area.
The wind of opening up and invigorating the barracks also blew into the barracks, and the battalion headquarters only occupied part of the area in the southeast of Xiaoshan, which may be less than half of the original barracks, and the rest of the places were leased to the localities to run enterprises and factories, and the middle was separated by a high wall, and the walls were wrapped around the unique belt wires of the troops, which added to the sense of mystery and solemnity.
Historically, this unit once crossed the Yalu River with high spirits, participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, created glorious achievements, and left behind the heroic deeds of shooting down enemy planes with one man and one artillery.
The station is located in the west of Hangzhou downtown, belongs to Nanshan Street, the place name is the gate, due south is the tall camp gate, there are guards standing guard 24 hours a day, a camp gate is a forest of factories, there are enterprises and factories and workshops, of course, there are residents, the economy is slightly messy and crowded, the road in front of the door is squeezed into a narrow passage, a small shop is next to the guard post.
Then it is the surging Qiantang River, rushing to the east, not far from the Qiantang River Bridge that has gone through the vicissitudes of time, the Hengdan River. It is all made of steel, and only carries railway transportation, and the train passes through it, like a steel cage with a head beast in it, roaring and roaring.
In addition to the south of the factory area is slightly messy, the other direction is a scenic spot with a beautiful environment, due east is the West Lake, connected to the flower port to view the fish, the Air Force Sanatorium is located in it, due north is the Hupao Spring, due west is the Liuhe Tower, and behind the Liuhe Tower stands a Jade Emperor Mountain.
The nature of the troops is special, and the three combat companies are stationed separately, with the Qiantang River Bridge as the center, scattered on both sides of the river, and their daily task is to defend this bridge, separated by a river, in the cities of Hangzhou and Xiaoshan.
When we first arrived, the recruit company occupied the last row of dormitories of the automobile company, and across the wide cement ground training ground, it was their neat garage, and the military cars, which were well maintained and shiny, without a trace of dust and dirt, were neatly parked in them.
Next to the garage of the car company, there is a back door, there are also guards standing guard, there is no main gate style, but it is wide enough, the car can enter and exit smoothly, there is no crowded and lively main gate here, no one is seen, only a scenic spot.
Out of the back door is a scenic spot, not very famous, few tourists, called Bagua Field, in fact is also a rice field, according to the Bagua graphic development, I don't know whether it belongs to the farmer's cultivation, or as a scenic spot management, recruits for three months, it is the cold winter, I have not seen anyone working in the field.
By the time of the 21 st century, this unit, together with the battalion headquarters and its subordinate companies, withdrew and set up camp in another location.
With the disappearance of those familiar old equipment, the year created a charming brilliant record, the digital age, it is no longer difficult to play a role, can no longer reproduce the courage of the year, a familiar weapon textbook, may only be used as a historical treasure, so it has become a masterpiece, and it is difficult to see them again.
There is a military and civilian airport in the east of Hangzhou City, which is located in Jianqiao, so it is called Jianqiao Airport, the air transport is busy, there is a farm in the airport, which belongs to the predecessor of the army, continues to be owned, and becomes the base of our battalion field training.
Three combat companies, one company is in Jiangbei, an independent hill by the river, with a wide field of vision, unobstructed, and the river breeze is breezy and comfortable. Surrounded by scenic spots, the scenery is beautiful and the environment is pleasant. It is also adjacent to the Qiantang River, which is an excellent viewing point of the tide of the Qiantang River.
The second and third companies are in the south of the Yangtze River, the barracks are built in the countryside, located in a piece of farmland, the local economy develops, the local residents live a rich life, a high-rise building blocks the view, but a lot of farmland still exists, the company is located in it, slightly depressed, there is a feeling of being besieged in a small world.
As a combat unit, we defend the Qiantang River Bridge, mainly responsible for combat readiness and air defense, and the bridge is guarded by armed police, squadrons, barracks not far from our battalion headquarters, and a company and a veteran army division to the west.
These two units have crossed paths with us, but they are not normal work intersections, but frictions occur in the process of contact with us young soldiers, and neither of us obeys the other, and there are often reckless fights.
After the "strike hard" campaign in '83, with the intensification of opening up to the outside world, Western society has intentionally or unintentionally strengthened the influence of "money first" and "freedom of thought," and the social atmosphere has not fundamentally improved.
The most serious impact was the disintegration of the Soviet Union in the world in '91, which brought unprecedented shocks to the socialist camp and the successful restoration of "capitalism" in many socialist countries, including the Soviet Union.
The most serious impact in the country occurred in '89, when student gatherings and demonstrations took place one after another in colleges and universities in various places, and a small number of people were used to attack the party's leadership and the socialist system.
It happened in June, when we first entered high school, and it became a hot topic of discussion, and the old pedantic classmate who was familiar with ancient scriptures even thought that we should also attend the meeting and express our wishes like other students, but in the end we just talked about it, and no one went.
The wisdom and courage of the revolutionaries of the older generation preserved the fruits of the revolution, and the banner of communism was still flying high in the east in the most populous country in the face of the great powers.
In the 21st century, the then prime minister announced that industry would feed agriculture, and that all agricultural taxes that had lasted for thousands of years since ancient times would be reduced or exempted, and that there would be no need to pay public grain for land cultivation.
There are not only exemptions and subsidies, subsidies for mountains and mountains, subsidies for fields, and then medical subsidies, and then medical subsidies, and the state reimburses rural people for medical treatment, with five guarantees and subsistence allowances, with pensions, and subsidies for the elderly over 60 years old in rural areas.
Later, targeted poverty alleviation was carried out in rural areas, and poverty was completely eliminated, even for the lonely and widowed elderly who did not have the ability to work at all, there were also policies to help them, so as to truly realize that the elderly have something to rely on in the countryside.
Not to mention the village-to-village project, a solid cement road paved to the door of the house, even in the remote mountainous areas, the same is the same, once the car that can only be seen by urban people, once deeply envied by rural people, now almost every family in the countryside sees, urban people are no longer envied by rural people, on the contrary, more people begin to envy the countryside.
Some people have rumored that the chief designer once said that if they go to the army for training, even if it is bad scrap iron, it will be melted into steel in the hot barracks.
The army is indeed a melting pot, and everyone who has served as a soldier is proud to have a history of being a soldier, and they have been reformed, their thinking has been sublimated, and they have returned to the correct track of life, and it can even be said that they have returned to the right life.
However, there are also some people who have taken advantage of loopholes, and in order to evade legal punishment, they have entrusted themselves with the troops as a temporary safe haven, and they have some bad habits in the past, and most of them have some backgrounds, which will inevitably have an impact on the troops.
The chief designer made the assertion that a major war could not occur in a short period of time and called for wholehearted efforts to grasp economic development, and in peacetime, there would be no war and no smoke to be sold, and parents would be relieved to let their children enter the army.
"One billion people, 900 million businessmen, and 100 million on the way" was a popular saying in society at that time, which not only affected the order of the troops, some people went around to make trouble, but also affected the atmosphere of the troops, and some people engaged in business and even smuggling activities under the cover of their military status.
During the service, I often heard that the soldiers were domineering, and sometimes regardless of discipline, they even went into local song and dance halls, and had friction and fights with local youths.
Robberies are also often heard, because they often travel with several people, and when they encounter a taxi driver who is alone, how dare they resist, they are afraid like a tiger, and obediently give money.
Dressed in military uniforms, there is no household registration in the locality, and the local public security has no right to arrest them, as long as they escape at that time, they can no longer be found, and sometimes they even dare to confront the local public security and flee back to the barracks.
Soldiers come from all over the world, and there are always some people who go out to play or wander around the city, meet each other, dislike each other, cause disputes, and finally may lead to group fights.
The troops advocate a fighting style and attach more importance to the feelings of comrades-in-arms, and some cadres leading the troops are excessively partial and do not restrain this. After winning, I think that the combat effectiveness is strong, and the morale is majestic, and it is useless to scold if I lose, how to win back for me.
The most serious part of the formation system has impacted the local public security organs and cleaned the song and dance halls of local hotels, all of which were heard one after another during the period of active service.
The education and history I have learned tell me that the army should not be like this, the pure land in my heart is still not impregnated, I work cautiously, I am diligent and careful, trying to change and recover, if I can't change the general environment, I will change my surroundings, and if I can't defy the law of others, I will change myself.
