Chapter 800: Tu Baozi Takes the Train

After trekking all the way and being covered in wind and dust, on this day, Li Yong and the soldiers of the guard company came to a deserted and remote area.

His eyes were full of weeds, there was nothing, and the soldiers with him only had a reinforced guard company, and Li Yong felt as if he had changed from a unit commander of 10,000 or thousands of people to a small company commander at the beginning.

It's like the feeling that the spy company was just established a few years ago, Sanniu, Xiaocheng, and Li Yuming are all with him, the difference is that the women around him have changed from Hu Xiaolian to He Cuihua and Li Jia.

There are no landmarks along the way, nor are there any iconic man-made objects, even Li Yong, who is known as the most sensible person in the brigade, doesn't know where he is now, anyway, the temperature is getting higher and higher, the soldiers took off their cotton clothes, they should have come to the plains from the plateau, and they also saw a small railway station that could not be smaller.

The soldiers shouted happily, and the fatigue of the continuous march was swept away, because they saw the train, this is a very novel thing, and even Li Yuming and Sanniu and a few other people were very excited.

As the new instructor of the guard company, Li Jia had no choice but to stop everyone's behavior in a whisper, because seeing the train shouting and screaming like this really gave people a special impression of earth, very much like a dirt bun.

In fact, it's not like it, compared to Li Jia who came out of a big city, the soldiers of the guard company are very dirty buns, this is a fact.

A long line of military vehicles was parked on the edge of the platform, and after carefully counting the more than 30 of them, the bodies of which had already been installed, were all covered with tarpaulin, more than 30 vehicles. In the era and environment at that time, this was a very powerful group.

The train is pulled by two old-fashioned steam locomotives, the nose of which gently spews white smoke. Whew, snort, just like a person breathing, one at a time is very rhythmic, this is a symbol of the locomotive boiler has been ignited, but the load has not yet been added.

Li Yong judged from the few station staff wearing military uniforms that this place seemed to be very remote and desolate, but it must be a special military management station. Such stations do not handle passenger and freight services, nor do they have any intersection with local railways, but only connect the road network.

Several staff members came over. One of the leading figures came up to him and asked, "Which one is Brigadier Li Yong?" ”

Company Commander Li Yuming hurriedly came over and said that this is our brigade commander, and asked what are you doing.

Li Yong is still too young, and everyone is used to seeing it in the Independent Brigade. I think it's normal. Many people don't think that such a young man is a brigade-level commander, and although the cadres of the People's Liberation Army are very young, it is a bit too young to be so young.

The people who came over were a little suspicious, but there was a telegram from his superiors, and second, there were so many people watching, it was impossible for them to make a fake one to fool him.

The cadre-looking person raised his hand to salute Li Yong, and said in his mouth: "Report chief." I was the stationmaster of the station, and I received orders from my superiors. Please board the bus from here, the vehicles are ready. ”

Li Yong understood that his superiors had them board the train from here and then transport them by train to the northeastern border or to the North Korean front.

This should be a good thing, at least much less troublesome and more economical than their own car transportation.

The commander of the first level of the brigade must be the highest-level chief here, so the stationmaster led Li Yong and several guards to check the train they were going to take, and the stationmaster also explained to Li Yong that because he knew that a captain was going to come out of here, he specially prepared a passenger car body as a long seat, otherwise there would only be an open car and a caravan in the truck.

Li Yong knew what he meant, military transportation is not as particular as the transportation of personnel, like the general troop mobilization is used in the wagon, commonly known as stuffy jars, the car can be pulled by laying some grass and mats, not to mention the cold in winter and hot in summer, because there is no toilet, it is very difficult to solve the problem of urinating and urinating, and it is very uncomfortable to sit up.

But the special bus is different, even the most old-fashioned bus body, it is much stronger than the caravan, at least the bus has independent water supply and heating devices, as well as special bunks and seats, which is much more comfortable than the truck.

Brigadier Li thought to himself that it seemed that it was not bad to be an officer, at least he had a certain amount of treatment when he went out, otherwise with an officer of his age, he would not even think about taking a bus when the troops were transferred.

After a big circle along the loaded military train, the importance of the military column can be seen, because it is pulled by two locomotives, Li Yong did not ask what is loaded on the car, and the station commander did not say that the troops have discipline, which everyone understands, Li Yong and one of his guard companies are only part of the task of transporting this military vehicle.

Two steam locomotives, two crews, and six railroad staff were all dressed in military uniforms, and the difference between them and real military personnel was that they had no ranks, no weapons.

Li Yong briefly introduced to everyone, the crew of the locomotive is three people, a driver, commonly known as the big car, a deputy driver, and a stoker, that is, the special tube locomotive boiler fire, commonly known as small burning, small burning is the hardest, he is responsible for the combustion of the entire locomotive boiler, a big shovel every time shoveling coal is more than 30 catties, when nervous, it takes several hours to burn the power steam of the locomotive, and it takes at least ten years for the small burn to mix from the stoker to the driver.

A few simple words shocked the stationmaster and several locomotive crews, because outsiders don't know the proper vocabulary of these railways at all, this young army leader is good, not only knows the names of various types of railways, but even knows his mother's common name, this is a pure expert.

In the independent brigade, everyone knows that the brigade commander has a lot of messy things in his head, as for how much no one thinks, anyway, it's a lot, but the careful girl Li Jia is different, Li Jia has verified the magic of the brigade commander again and again since she arrived in the PLA unit, and today she was shocked again.

Li Jia's surprised eyes revealed a lot of information, Brigade Commander Li is very familiar with this kind of gaze, so he had to explain vaguely, our Commander Wang is a railway worker, and I heard everything I know from him, it is nothing.

This explanation is also reasonable, everyone knows that Li Yong and the entire independent brigade are the treasures of Commander Wang, and they are the trump cards under the commander, and the brigade commander naturally has a good relationship with the commander.

Assigned to Li Yong and his company of soldiers are a few flatbed trucks and an old-fashioned grass-green bus body, the flatbed truck is used to transport more than a dozen cars of the guard company, there is no problem, the problem is in the bus body, there is only such a passenger car on the entire military column, Li Yong went in and took a look, it is the oldest type 21 car body, and the approved number of people in the car is less than 60 people.

More than 200 people, only one can hold more than 60 people, this is not counting the two maintenance masters with the car, Li Yong frowned, and asked the stationmaster who has been following him, can he add two more buses, you know, the temperature in the Northeast and North Korea is already very low, if there is no special bus, the soldiers can only take the truck, then they will suffer a big crime.

The stationmaster smiled wryly, he told Li Yong, not to mention the bus, not even the stuffy jar is gone, there are only a few flatbeds left, if it weren't for Li Yong's high level, the superior specially transferred a bus, and the chief could only take a truck.

Li Yong finally figured it out, if it was in the future, it would not be a big deal to add two buses, but now it is 50 years, just after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country's strength is still very weak, not to mention any buses, even the truck is the oldest arch bogie body, the bearing capacity is limited.

This is the difference between an industrial country and an agricultural country, and Li Yong, who has not yet reached the front line, deeply feels the restrictions brought by the weak national strength to the troops.

Li Yuming and a few soldiers who followed Li Yong felt that it was nothing, it was already great to have a train, and what kind of passenger cars and wagons, the same was true on the flatbed, anyway, we had trucks, and everyone was also in the compartment of the truck, so what was wrong.

The soldiers didn't know the situation, but Li Yong knew, don't look at it now, when he arrived at the northeast border, he knew the impact of the cold on the personnel, just like the Ninth Corps, singing all the way into North Korea, but after a battle, the entire corps lost its combat effectiveness, which was not what Li Yong wanted to see.

Since there was no passenger car body, Brigadier Li, who had no choice, had to retreat and ask the stationmaster to prepare some cold-proof materials for them, especially like quilts or something, and to prepare a little more.

The stationmaster agreed to this request, and brought up a lot of luggage in front of the car, and it didn't matter how to use it, let them have the final say.

Li Yong's idea was to use the extra luggage to surround the inside of their truck a little more tightly when the temperature dropped, and make more preparations for the cold, but in fact, there was only one way to do this, and there was no other way.

With excitement, Li Yong and the soldiers boarded the car, the company commander Li Yuming and the instructor Li Jia, the deputy company commander He Cuihua, all followed Li Yong on the bus, and Sanniu, Xiaocheng, and Ning Erzi, the three platoon commanders had to sit on a flatbed with the soldiers.

The whistle whistled for a long time, and the two locomotives spit out black smoke at the same time, and the half-human-high red locomotive driving wheels slowly turned, and then faster and faster.

With the start of the locomotive panting, the train was raised, and according to Li Yong's estimate, it should have passed an average of more than 40 kilometers, and then gradually stabilized.

The soldiers on the car shouted again, there were no outsiders in the car, so there was no possibility of losing face, they were all their own people, and they could vent their excitement without scruples.

Hehe, it's eight hundred chapters, Lao Ba congratulates himself. (To be continued......)
