On July 13, the "Decision on Defending the Northeast Frontier Defense", the Military Commission ordered that the main forces of the four fields, the 38th, 39th, and 40th corps of the 13th Corps and the already passive 42nd Army were transferred to establish the Northeast Border Defense Force.
, four armies.
The important reason why the Thirteenth Corps was selected was that a few months ago, the Thirteenth Corps was a national defense mobile force. They were deployed in the Central Plains area in the hinterland of China and could be mobilized at any time. The officers and soldiers of this main regiment of the Fourth Field Army were located to the north.
Most of them are from the East, who are able to adapt to fighting in cold areas, and are familiar with the terrain of the Northeast region. They are brave in fighting and have a tough style.
In order to prepare for border defense, the leadership team of the 13th Corps has also been adjusted.
At the same time, the most elite first, second and eighth artillery divisions, four anti-aircraft artillery regiments, three automobile regiments, two engineering regiments, etc. will be deployed together with the 13th Corps, a total of about 255,000 troops.
Deploy defenses toward the border to prevent any eventuality.
The order was issued to the Thirteenth Corps.
At this time, the Thirteenth Corps was still distributed in the Central Plains, performing the task of reclaiming wasteland.
The 338th Regiment of the 39th Army is in the Huangfan area.
In July, the rice in the fields grows happily, about half a person tall, with full yellow ears. The wind blows through the fields, and the yellow wheat waves are rolling like mountains.
There are soldiers busy in the fields, looking for pests.
It has been half a year since they were demobilized and returned to the fields. Far away from the smoke-filled battlefields, everyone has basically adapted to the busy days in the fields. Coupled with the previous ideological work, many soldiers do not object to demobilization and return to the local area to perform production tasks.
Except for soldiers like Da Lao Liu, their homes have long since disappeared in the flames of war. The army is their home, and the army is their final destination.
However, this type of soldiers account for the majority of demobilized soldiers. The main reason is that their hometowns and relatives have long been destroyed in the war. When they arrive on the battlefield and face enemies who destroy their hometowns and kill their relatives, they are born with a certain
He has a fierce spirit, dares to fight and charge, even if he faces dozens of enemies alone, he will not show any fear.
Because of this, a very high proportion of such soldiers died and were injured on the battlefield.
After the war, even after recovering from their injuries, the bodies and bones of these soldiers were relatively weak and more demobilized. Unfortunately, these soldiers had no families or relatives, so many refused to demobilize.
In July, after receiving the order to form the Northeast Frontier Defense Force, Commander Liang summoned the commanders of all divisions to come to a meeting to discuss the matter.
The commander of the 112th Division said: "We talked about demobilization before. The political cadres did a lot of ideological work for many comrades who were about to be demobilized, and they also accepted the task of returning to the local area to participate in production. There were even many comrades who were relatively
We are looking forward to such a day. After all, the war is over and the age of peace has arrived. The good days that everyone has longed for have finally arrived. Now tell them not to demobilize and prepare to go to the Northeast. It is easier said than done."
The atmosphere in the conference room was relatively dull, and many people remained silent. It was obvious that the words of the commander of the 112th Division had reached everyone's hearts.
This is similar to the principle that it is easy to move from frugality to luxury, but difficult to move from luxury to frugality.
"This is equivalent to posing another difficult problem for the comrades who have previously done political work in mobilizing veterans for demobilization. Those veterans who were ready for demobilization were happily preparing to go home yesterday, and today they have to be mobilized to stay in the team and go
Defend the border in the Northeast.”
Everyone's opinions are pretty much the same.
The meeting lasted all day, and each unit conducted research and finally decided that "the person who untied the bell must also tie the bell." Whoever mobilized for demobilization would still be mobilized to stay in the team.
After all, this is what political cadres do.
After Hu Shunchun received the mission, he fell into deep thought again. He had suddenly stopped the demobilization work. He was keenly aware that there must be a new mission, but he never expected that the new mission would be the soldiers who had already been mobilized.
Troops, go to the northeast to defend the border.
It can be said that Instructor Hu was relieved of the worries about his elder Liu staying in the team, but he was also troubled by the work of all demobilized veterans staying in the team.
Fortunately, there is a model like Liu. During the plenary mobilization meeting, Instructor Hu expounded on Liu’s idea of treating the army as his home. When Liu heard this, he didn’t have to leave the team. He bared his teeth happily and said, “You stinky boys!
We will cook for you in the future."
The soldiers in the cooking class were very happy.
Most of the soldiers in the cooking class are relatively young, only 17 or 18 years old. The eldest brother, Liu, is in his 40s or 50s. He takes care of their training, meals and daily life every day, and he is considered half of their father.
We all have a good relationship with Big Boss Liu.
Everyone was very sad to learn that the eldest brother Liu was about to be demobilized. Once the eldest brother Liu left, the cooking squad had no backbone. The deputy squad leader was about the same age as them, but he had joined the army early, so it was difficult for him to take on the big responsibility.
None of them knew how they would live their lives if the elder Liu left.
Now I hear that Liu does not need to be demobilized and go home, which is undoubtedly a good thing.
There is no one who applauds harder than the comrades in the cooking class.
Instructor Hu went on to talk about the US imperialist invasion of North Korea and who North Korea was. During the liberation war, their comrades gave up the idea of going home, whether for the sake of their comrades or for the security of the country's border defense.
In addition, there were more soldiers from the Northeast and more commanders and fighters participated in the liberation of the Northeast, so the ideological work back to the Northeast went smoothly.
The meeting was concluded successfully.
Not two days after the ideological mobilization ended, new orders came down from the superiors. When everyone was going out for exercise, they saw donkey carts pulling carts of weapons and ammunition into the village.
When the running exercise was over, the team did not pull back directly, but stayed on the playground.
The elder Liu said: "This is the time for a gun to be fired. Xia Yuan, don't you long to have a gun of your own? I will get one for you later."
He smiled and said, "Are you happy?"
Xia Yuan smiled happily, "Of course I'm happy. I've been in the army for several days, and now I can finally touch a gun."
He also knew in his heart that touching the gun meant that their time here was running out.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It won’t be long before we head north to the Northeast.
Guns and ammunition were quickly distributed to each company. Each soldier was equipped with ten grenades, fifty rounds of ammunition, plus a rifle and a bayonet.
The soldiers who touched the gun again had happy smiles on their faces and wiped the gun body with their sleeves fondly.
When the gun was fired, Xia Yuan was not given bullets. Maybe he was a new soldier, considering that he had never touched a gun.
Furthermore, when I went to be stationed in the Northeast, I did not go to North Korea immediately. I also stationed in the Northeast for training for a period of time.
The third company commander who went home to visit relatives also came back.
Everyone sat on the ridge of the field, holding their guns. The third company commander said briefly: "The guns have been fired, but the production task must still continue. The departure time has not been announced yet. The work of maintaining the crops in the fields will still be arranged by instructor Hu."
The third company commander's surname was Sun. He was a bearded man with a beard on his face. Old Liu told Xia Yuan that the third company commander was very good at fighting. He had practiced martial arts and was very good in both marksmanship and fighting. He had once been alone alone.
Pick four or five reactionaries and they won't fall behind.
Xia Yuan looked at the back of Captain Sun. He was tall, powerful and strong. He was indeed a good fighter.
"I heard that a little soldier came from the cooking class, so I came here to take a look."
After giving instructions to the company's soldiers, Captain Sun took Instructor Hu to the cooking class.
Several members of the cooking team had been mobilized and returned home, leaving only seven or eight people. Everyone was sitting at the door. When they saw Company Commander Sun approaching, they all stood up.
Xiao Heping pointed at Xia Yuan, "Company commander, over there."
Captain Sun glanced at Xia Yuan's size and said, "Hey, how big is he for such a small person?"
Xia Yuan's body is indeed not as good as the body that was massacred in Jinling. This body is severely malnourished. He is not tall, just over 1.6 meters tall, and has a feeling of being weak and weak.
Instructor Hu came to Xia Yuan and wanted to let him go home. What Instructor Hu didn't expect was that although Xia Yuan was small and frail, he contained huge energy in his body and his ideas were even more peculiar.
Every time I refused, there was not much I could do about it.
Then the demobilization work was stopped.
"This kid is sixteen years old. He works in the fields and cooks very diligently." Old Liu rushed to say.
"Xiao Heping used to be the youngest in the company. When he was liberated two years ago, he was only fifty-six years old. Now he is finally not at the bottom." Captain Sun joked.
"Hehehe." Xiao Heping smiled.
"So, you must protect your brother from now on." Company Commander Sun did not say anything about driving away Xia Yuan. The cooking squad is relatively safe. It is in the rear of the army and is responsible for lighting fires and cooking for the company.
The soldiers in the cooking class are all relatively young, 17 or 18 years old. Many of them have just joined the company. Xiao Heping has only been in the company for a year. He has touched the root of the war once and has seen the soldiers who died.
But I have never been to a battlefield and experienced the hail of bullets.
The battles of the Liberation War were difficult to fight. The Kuomintang troops were defeated like a mountain, and a large area was defeated in one fell swoop.
In addition, the Red Party's team reputation was very good, and the policy of preferential treatment of prisoners was very well established. Some Kuomintang officers even directly led an entire team to surrender. Under such circumstances, the Liberation War did not last long.
, it ends with victory.
After briefly speaking, Captain Sun patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder, and then left with instructor Hu.
Xiao Heping chuckled: "Xia Yuan, you can stay in the company. From now on, you will be the boss. Finally, we don't have to be the boss anymore."
Xia Yuan smiled, said nothing, held the gun and wiped it carefully.
It doesn't matter who he is in the ranking. What Xia Yuan wants is that as long as he can enter the court safely, everything else will be easy.
As for the time to enter the DPRK, it should be around October.
The crops in the fields are growing well, and it won't take long for them to be harvested.
Now that the guns have been issued, it is obvious that there is a mission. The superiors have rearranged the daily time and arranged the daily tasks in the fields according to the shift system. Soldiers in one class are lined up for one day, and most of the other time is spent on training.
Early that morning, when the sky was dark, the assembly whistle sounded.
The weather in July was a bit hot, so everyone wore cooler clothes. Not long after the assembly whistle sounded, the soldiers quickly got up from the bed, put on their leggings, put away their bedding, and quickly ran to the yard to assemble.
Xia Yuan ran out with the elder Liu and found that a large number of soldiers in uniform had gathered on the playground that was used for jogging.
Off we go!
His heart trembled, and he tightened the thin quilt on his back.
The playground was a little quiet, there was no sound of talking, only the noisy footsteps of running, the sound of weapons and equipment clashing, and heavy breathing.
The team had not yet assembled. Xia Yuan, who was looking around on his feet, saw the battalion commander and battalion chief of staff coming from the battalion headquarters.
Company Commander Sun took Instructor Hu and ran over with the others. It could be seen in a hurry that many people were not prepared.
Many teams have gathered here, and many soldiers who have not yet completed their assembly are gathering at the center, looking for their own teams in a panic.
Xiao Heping rubbed his eyes with a surprised look on his face: "What's going on? We started gathering early in the morning and it's still dark."
Another young soldier in the cooking class, named Zhou Mao, "must be on a mission, otherwise why would we gather so early?"
"Listen to your superiors' instructions and don't talk."
The surroundings were very quiet. At this time, Old Liu put away all his thoughts and spoke to the other soldiers in the cooking class.
The surrounding area soon became quiet. The battalion commander walked up to the first battalion and looked at the soldiers running out of the village quietly. His face was a little gloomy. No one came out of the village. He said coldly: "
Each company, report the number of people."
"In the first company, there were supposed to be 147 people, but actually there were 136 people. The rest were demobilized."
"The second company was supposed to have 133 people, but actually turned out to be 121, and the rest were demobilized."
"The number of the third company should be 151, but the actual number is 132, and the rest will be demobilized."
"..."
The team quieted down, and a battalion commander stepped forward and said: "The days of peace have been too long, and the team has lost discipline and subjective initiative. I hope this will not happen again in the future. The assembly whistle blows, and within two minutes, we must
All assembled!"
"If there's a war, will the enemy give you time to get dressed?"
The team was very quiet, without any rebuttal, and listened quietly to the battalion commander's lecture.
The battalion chief of staff reminded a battalion commander and told him to pay attention to the time.
The battalion commander glanced at the time and said: "Let's go!"
They have lived a life of farming for too long, and if they suddenly stop demobilizing, firing guns, and training, it is very likely that war is coming.
At this moment, there seemed to be a layer of mist hanging in the forest. After a brief formation, the 3, 3 and 5 regiments began to set off towards the city train station in each battalion unit.
After walking out of the village, the mist dissipated, and a gust of wind blew across the fields. The crops that had been cultivated for several months swayed with the wind. The departing soldiers looked at the crops in the fields and couldn't help but feel dizzy. They thought that the following days would be peaceful.
Unexpectedly, not long after the founding of New China, the war started again on the border of New China.
They want to go to the Northeast to form the Northeast Frontier Defense Force to protect the border.
"I don't know when I will come back next time." Xiao Heping looked at the fields and realized that he might not be able to come back after this trip.
Everyone has been living here for half a year. They have reclaimed the fields from the barren land, and they have worked hard to plant the rice swaying in the fields.
As the harvest season was approaching, they headed north again.
