Veteran veteran Qiao Zhengnan: Recalling the construction company team comrades in the Xiangyu Railway

At the end of the 1960s, I should join the army as a member of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Railway.

After three months of intense training in Dechang County, Sichuan Province, we were distributed in the construction company of the Seventh Corporation of the Forty -seventh Regiment of the Tie Shi division. At that time, the construction task was to build a pier and roadbed. It was already the ending project of the Chengkun Railway, and the task was not heavy.

On July 1, 1970, the opening ceremony of the Chengkun Railway was held in Xichang

A few months later, my company was transferred to Xichang to perform an important task, which was stationed in Sichuan Forestry College on the side of the sea. On July 1, 197, the Kun -Kun Railway was opened to traffic. Except for some personnel on duty, the company participated in the opening ceremony of the Chengkun Railway in Xichang.

In early September 1970, the team was ordered to prevent the construction of the Xiangyu Railway. We took a Mercedes -Benz train from Xichang and drove on the Chengkun Line built by ourselves. Running to the most needed for the motherland.

The Xiangyu Railway is a trunk of the combat railway connecting the central south and southwestern regions, with a total length of 916 kilometers and running through the three provinces of Hubei, Shaanxi and Sichuan. The rivers and rivers along the line are deep, the water is turbulent, the terrain is dangerous, the geology is complicated, and the rock layers are severely crushed. There are many poor geological phenomena such as faults, caves, collapses, and mudslides.

Wading mountains and wading, no regrets

The total length of the bridge tunnel is 400 kilometers, accounting for 46 % of the total length of the line. There are 36 stations on the entire line built on the bridge or in the tunnel. The line passes through the Shaanxi section, with scarcity of human smoke, traffic occlusion, lack of materials, and large workload for construction preparation.

The entire line is organized by the railway soldiers. At the same time, the three provinces of Hubei, Shaanxi, and Sichuan have established the Xiangyu Railway Command. The Tenth Railway and Eleventh Division are responsible for the construction of the Shaanxi section.

At the climax of the construction of the entire line, there were as many as 830,000 migrant workers, soldiers, railway soldiers, and soldiers and civilians.

With a dress and carrying the gun, the marching team is mighty

Where do we need to go there, where do we need to go there and settle the house, carry the gun on our back, and start with a backpack. Starting from the east ten miles of Xi'an, crawling mountains and water, turning over the mountains, crossing the Qinling Mountains, and walking steadily for 12 days, reaching the place of Shagou's entrance on the side of Hanjiang, Shuhe Town, Shiyang County, Shaanxi Province.

Bashan Shushui has no three feet flats. There is no road in Xunyang County, and the circulation of materials depends on the Han River. The construction company first repaired the highway, and the renovation of the railway. The construction task of the company was to excavate the sand ditch tunnel. The tunnel construction of the railway soldiers is the most difficult and dangerous operation.

In the early 1970s, the Xiangyu Railway was dangerous, relied on human sea tactics, unlike the shield machines now mechanized operations. The slogan of construction is hard -working, think about the Red Army twenty -five thousand, tired and think about the revolutionary seniors!

At that time, only after experiencing it, I realized the suffering and tiredness of the railway soldiers. As for tunnel digging, the most important process is the wind gunman drilling the eyes. It requires enough physical strength. The wind gunman must grasp the wind gun with the strength of the whole body and drill 1.5 meters deep to the stone. Suddenly, you need to hit 24 artillery eyes, then install the explosives, plug in the detonator and fuse rope, and wait for other people to hide in the cat cave and lit the fire rope blast. After the cannon eye explosion, the crushed soil stones are installed, and the cave is launched with a rail car.

My comrade -in -arms Xie Guoming, less than 1.70 meters tall, thick, weighing about 150 pounds, black and black skin, two eyes, and two eyes. The bitter person, he is straightforward, what to say, dare to take heavy burden. The heavy responsibility of the tunnel construction air gunman, he volunteered to picked himself on his shoulders.

Wind gunmen fought towards Jianshi

The little comrade -in -arms Zhu Baoxing did not arrange him to fight the air gun in the row. He took the initiative to fight as the air gunman. He was so capable that his comrades called him "golden steel diamond". In the construction task of the tunnel, the most difficult job is the wind gunman.

The task is heavy, the construction period is tight, the conditions are poor, the construction tasks are completed quickly, and whether the wind gunman can do it is the most critical. Comrade Xie Guoming, Zhu Baoxing has completed the task in the position of the air gunner, stands out of third -class merit, and serves as the monitor. Special special It was Zhu Baoxing's comrades -in -arms who have won many successful achievements.

Those who served as the squad were Yang Yunhui, Chen Yongxiang, Zhou Guquan, Wang Guoan, and Ni Xiaoxing, Yang Lianhua, Li Guolian, and Shen Yizhong. Ma Yousheng, Yang Tiancai and I served as a health staff, a material staff, to the supporter. Wang Guoan's cooking class is a collective three -class merit.

When the wind gunman entered the tunnel, he was full of energy. He fell in four hours for 24 hours, and a work class was performed in six hours. When he walked out of the tunnel, he was exhausted and exhausted. No one recognized anyone. In addition to the white teeth, the two eyes are turning, and the face is dark, and you can only know who it is.

The fighting gunner is the backbone of the important technical technical of the railway soldiers

The wind gunman is consumed with great energy, and the wind gun on the supporting surface is also the most dangerous. The wind gunman is most likely to suffer from silicon lung disease. It is difficult to cure for life.

We joined the six comrades together in the seven -company comrades together to leave the world prematurely. In the first row of Wei Deming, Yang Yunhui, Zhou Guquan in the second row, Jin Xuezhang in the three rows, Ni Xiaoxing, and Lin Xiaojie in the four rows. These comrades -in -arms had a certain relationship with the overdraft overdraft of construction tasks.

The comrades of the construction company do not know how much sweat has flowed?How much blood did you flow?They did not reach out in front of the glory, did not bow their heads in front of the difficulties, and rushed forward.Labor is glorious and hard -working. When the "three glory" thoughts of the railway soldiers are glorious, these comrades are encouraged ... Recalling the hard life of the railway soldiers fighting the Xiangyu Railway.Smile, it is a special experience, that is a memory deep in life, that is a period of no regrets, and it is a chord that died together.
