At the enlarged meeting of the party committee of the 18 th Army, brigade commander Li Yong put forward a request on behalf of the whole brigade, asking the higher authorities to first disperse the independent brigade from the Lhasa area so as to provide convenient conditions for better work in the future.

The independent brigade was zoned from the first field in the northwest to the second field, all the way through the wind and dust, after arriving at the second field, not only did not feel the benefits of the brother troops, but also gnawed on the hard bones, fighting Qamdo and encircling and suppressing Wuqi, plus the later thousands of kilometers of Tibetan area march, the independent brigade was used as the first main force of the second field and the eighteenth army, which made Commander Zhang Guohua and Tan Guansan political commissar very unhappy, and now the independent brigade took the initiative to apply for dispersal from the Lhasa area, you know, the independent brigade arrived more than 20 days early, in these more than 20 days, The more than 10,000 people in the brigade have been engaged in construction day and day, and they have finally gained a bit of scale, and now they have to hand over the good work to others, even if the people of the independent brigade don't say anything, Commander Zhang Guohua and Tan Guansan Political Commissar can't be so ruthless.

Li Yong knew what the chief was worried about, and he stood up to put forward his opinions, and further explained: "Army commander, political commissar, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and the troops must be dispersed as soon as possible, our independent brigade has a large amount of engineering equipment, and it is faster than the fraternal troops to build barracks. Isn't it more difficult for the 53rd and 54th divisions, which are still building roads on the way? Ask the chief to give the order. ”

Li Yong's determination was genuine, not for the commander to see, and the 53rd and 54th Divisions, which were more difficult than the Independent Brigade, still had a lot of problems waiting for them to solve, Commander Zhang Guohua and Political Commissar Tan Guansan discussed with each other in a whisper, and finally Political Commissar Tan Guansan announced the order:

"In order to solve the difficulties in transporting and supplying troops, the military party committee decided that the organs directly under the 18th Army and the 154th Regiment should be stationed in Lhasa. The organs directly under the division of the 53rd Division and some of the detachments directly under it were stationed in Gyantse. The organs of the 52nd Division led the artillery battalion directly under it to garrison Taizhao. The 155th Regiment was stationed in Shatin, Sanda, and Benroll. The Independent Brigade was stationed in Shigatse. ”

"My hometown is in Shigatse, and there is a beautiful river here."

Li Yong seems to still remember such a lyric in his mind. What I didn't expect was that the superiors would really deploy themselves and their troops here one day, and the so-called world is unpredictable.

After the meeting, Li Yong and Wang Chengde immediately went back to announce it to the officers and men of the brigade. In the future, the garrison of the Independent Brigade will be changed from Lhasa to Shigatse, and later. Shigatse is our home.

This time the order was announced, and the cadres and tactics of the Independent Brigade have already made mental preparations, and everyone can understand without asking that the Lhasa military camp is such a big place, can the brother troops who have just recovered from the situation vacate the barracks for the Independent Brigade? The answer is no, since it is impossible, it is necessary to rebuild, and it is important to choose the location of a new home. However, the decision to deploy the Independent Brigade to Shigatse was a real surprise.

Since the order has arrived, it is necessary to leave immediately and hurry to the garrison place. Shigatse is more than 280 kilometers away from Lhasa, the capital of Tibet, which is still a straight-line distance on the map, and it will actually be longer, but this is not difficult for the cadres and fighters of the Independent Brigade. All mechanized marches, although the roads are not good, more than a day is enough.

When he set off, Commander Zhang Guohua, political commissar Tan Guansan, and most of the officers and soldiers of the 154th Regiment rushed to see him off, and political commissar Tan Guansan said to several commanders of the independent brigade: "It's really embarrassing for you. As soon as we have stabilized, we will set off again, and we will go to a new area to carry out work, and if there are any difficulties in arriving in the new area, we will often contact the army, so let's find a way together. ”

Commander Zhang Guohua's entrustment was much more direct: "If there are difficulties, we must let the troops take root, not only to develop the local economy, but also to consolidate border defense, be optimistic about the national border, and guard the home well." ”

Li Yong knows that stationing in Xigaze is a new challenge to himself and the independent brigade, and Xigaze is no better than the cities that the independent brigade was stationed or occupied in the past, because its jurisdiction has a border of 1,000 kilometers and borders with Nepal and Bhutan respectively, and it is a border area. With the strong combat effectiveness of the Independent Brigade, there should be no problem in suppressing them, plus the Eighteenth Army behind the Independent Brigade, hehe, when our Independent Brigade arrives in Shigatse, it will not be as simple as being optimistic about the country.

The independent brigade, which had lived in Lhasa for more than 20 days, was evacuated, and the barracks that had just been built were reluctantly handed over, and the whole brigade set out, and as before, the independent brigade put the engineer company at the front to open the way for the troops, and the company commander Xiaocheng and instructor Zhou Daxing received orders to do everything possible to ensure that the tanks and heavy artillery of the whole brigade could pass through the road.

Li Yong, who was sitting in the car, was in a trance again, in his memory, the troops of the 18th Army entered Tibet in Shigatse in 51 years, and I can't remember the specific months, anyway, it was not 50 years, but he and the independent brigade, an extra unit in the history of our army, made this date several months earlier.

Shigatse is nearly 300 kilometers away from Lhasa, a city that our army has never visited in history, and it is a virgin land; once it arrives there, it will be farther and farther away from the main force of the 18 th Army and the Field Army and the party committee of the Southwest Military Region; in the transportation and communications environment at that time, Shigatse, which was several hundred kilometers away from Lhasa, was equivalent to a paradise, but it can also be called another name -- an isolated island.

What is the fate of the Independence Brigade in the future? Will you temporarily move into this city (or populated area) that is waiting to be developed, or will you stay here forever to consolidate the border defense? This has exceeded Li Yong's expectations, and it has nothing to do with the memories of his previous life, so everything is unknown.

Nervous thinking and the lack of oxygen on the plateau made Li Yong's head a little groggy, and then he simply didn't think about anything, and slept first.

In the drowsiness, the Independent Brigade was getting closer and closer to Shigatse.

Shigatse, located in the southwest of Tibet, borders the Ali region in the west, Nagqu region in the north, Lhasa and Shannan in the east, and Nepal and Bhutan in the south.

The deployment of the Independent Brigade to Xigaze was a painstaking decision made by Commander Zhang Guohua and Political Commissar Tan Guansan, and it also had a slight meaning of compensation, because stationing in a relatively wealthy place could provide convenient conditions for logistical supplies in the future.

Shigatse is located at the northern foot of the Himalayas, the south bank of the Yarlung Zangbo River, is the impact plain caused by the intersection of the Yarlung Zangbo River and the Chuchu River, the Yarlung Zangbo River and the Chuchu River pass through the territory of Guò, the average altitude of the whole region is more than 3,800 meters, the highest is more than 5,800 meters (Sharp Banan Peak), the lowest is more than 3,700 meters (the exit point of the Yarlung Zangbo River), there are more than 70 peaks higher than 4,500 meters in the territory, and the snow-capped mountains are numerous.

Shigatse has been an important town in Tibet since ancient times, and the Tibetan language is called "Xikazi", which means "manor with fertile land", and according to historical facts, people are accustomed to calling the Shigatse region "Later Tibet".

In 1447 (the twelfth year of Ming orthodoxy), the first lama (a disciple of the Gelugpa patriarch Tsongkhapa) built Tashilhunpo Monastery in Shigatse, and after that, the city gradually expanded around Tashilhunpo Monastery with Tashilhunpo Monastery as the center.

The army rushed forward, the soldiers did not have as many ideas in their heads, they were full of confidence in their brigade commander, along the way, the blue sky, white clouds, snow-capped mountains, grasslands, rivers, and the masses of cattle and sheep that were grazing, all this seemed to indicate that they were about to reach a good place.

Departing in the morning and camping in the evening, the convoy of the Independent Brigade set out from Lhasa for nearly a day, camped on the way in the evening, and after setting up the guard, blazing bonfires were lit on both sides of the convoy that stretched for several kilometers, and the area through which it passed had never seen such a large procession, not to mention people, not even those stupid animals, which added many new varieties of colors to the soldiers' dinner.

The soldiers were giggling and discussing: "Damn, these animals are too stupid, they are not afraid of people at all, Lao Tzu didn't even put a gun, he directly stabbed several heads with a bayonet, they looked like sheep, and they didn't understand what kind of sheep they were." ”

Another warrior said, "It doesn't matter what kind of sheep he is, he can eat it." ”

The soldiers don't care, and the brigade commander Li Yong doesn't want to care, hehe, it doesn't matter what kind of animal he is, it's true that he has a full stomach, and he wants to protect? Let's talk about it in a few decades.

The Shigatse area is known as "the manor with fertile land", this is not nonsense, the local wildlife resources are very rich, there are red pandas, long-tailed langurs, bison, wild boars, brown bears, leopards, as well as wild yaks, wild asses, antelopes, rock sheep, yellow sheep, argali, foxes, hares, wild wolves, roe deer, lynx, marmots, river deer and so on hundreds of species, can also be called a paradise for wild animals, however, this qiē should change after the independent brigade comes, although Li Yong does not want to kill innocents, But at least it is necessary to keep the troops from starving, and to improve the food appropriately, in the view of Brigadier Commander Li, in order to make the troops live a better life, the local flora and fauna have to be reluctant, and they should be regarded as contributing to New China, although this contribution is reluctant.

Under the reflection of the sunset, the nearby grassland is golden, even the river next to the grassland is golden, the blue sky and white clouds, and the golden grassland and river, the scenery is exceptionally beautiful. (To be continued)
