On February 5, 1981, Meng Hai.

A few years have passed, and the former border towns are no longer in line with the old view. Most of the dilapidated thatched houses have been replaced by bricks and tiles. Some wealthier people have also built two-story and three-story cement buildings that are modeled on the military sub-district. For the sake of beauty, a layer of mosaic is pasted outside as decoration.

The area of ​​the town has expanded at least three or four times compared to the original one. There are more than a dozen cement roads crisscrossing in the town, and there are restaurants, convenience stores, barber shops, clothing stores and other convenient living facilities that were not available before, and there is also an additional cinema.

Although the residents in the town are still mainly engaged in farming, they are gradually changing towards urbanization.

A few hundred meters east of the town, a brand new train station rose from the ground. The station is not too large in scale. It has a three-story station building, a waiting room of more than 200 square meters, and then there is a platform with a total area of ​​no more than 1,000 square meters.

However, although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

In the station building, there are signs of the station management department, signs of the station police station, border inspection stations, forestry inspection stations, health and quarantine departments, etc., all of which are jointly operated here.

Because from here you directly cross the border and enter the territory of the next military sub-district, whether it is in or out, border defense, forestry and other departments will get in the car to check whether anyone is carrying guns in violation of regulations, cherishing wood, wild animals and other places under the national ban.

With this small station, it will be much more convenient for the townsmen and nearby people to enter the city. Although the railway has not been fully built and can only reach Baoshan at the farthest, for these mountain people who may not even have a mountain in their lifetime, it is the farthest place in their lives.

However, the residents in the town are still relatively poor. In addition to farming, their income was mainly for the materials they had been parked here temporarily when they were passing through the town to help load and unload goods. Later, the Xincheng Railway Station was built, which was larger and more beautiful than this small station. The warehouse was built, so the goods were transported directly to the Xincheng City and no longer transited here, so the residents in the town had a lot of income.

In order to increase income, many townsmen began to leave the town and go to work in the new city. The income there is high. As long as they are willing to endure hardships, they can earn at least fifty or sixty per month, and it is not a problem to earn one or two hundred more. For mountain village residents with an average annual income of less than 300 yuan, this is an incredible income. As long as one person works in the military sub-district, the income is enough to support the whole family to live a comfortable life.

Therefore, there are many people who go there to work. Not only Menghai, but also many young people in the surrounding villages have gone to work. If you stay there with peace of mind, the Labor Service Department will also help with skills training. After you come out, the salary you receive may not be as much as odd jobs, but it is included in the employment list. The Labor Service Department will help recommend jobs, thus becoming a formal worker who eats imperial grain. Even if you don’t have a job for the time being, you will receive monthly living allowances and receive more labor skills training to meet the needs of your job, and the future employment path will be wider.

Before the war, many people came from the military sub-district.

However, when they learned that the military sub-district successfully repelled the military encirclement and suppression, they occupied many towns in one breath. After the base area expanded rapidly, many people regretted it and ran back.

Seeing that the People's Army was so capable and the base was very safe, a lot of people from the surrounding towns followed. I heard that after the number of areas connected to the military sub-districts became more and more connected to the country, there were many people passing by Ruili and Zhenkang, and the total number was probably less than tens of thousands.

With the information they received, more and more people from the surrounding counties and cities, as far as Dehong, Yongling, Yongde, and Gengma began to rush over there. Looking at this, people who have worked in the military sub-district for a long time in the future may not be as many as 100,000 or 200,000!

As for this small station, most of the trains that pass by are mostly flatbed trucks that deliver goods. The station staff and border inspection personnel are relatively easy. When the train arrives, go around the cart list and determine whether there are any prohibited items.

Wow~

The whistle sounded in the mountains in the distance, and you could vaguely see a long steel dragon roaring in the mountains, circling towards this place, and soon entering the station.

Several station staff and border inspectors walked out of the station building and waited for the next work.

"Hey, there seemed to be a lot of bus cars hanging on this train today?" A station staff member glanced at the distance casually and said in surprise.

"It seems yes. Once there are too many people, it will be troublesome to check it out." The other platform staff, the border inspector, looked on tiptoe for a while, sighed.

The train approached quickly and you could see that there were indeed several green carriages hanging behind the front of the car. However, on the flatbed car behind, there were not common container containers, but items tied firmly with doors. It was not clear from a distance, but most of the goods were with a pipe straight towards the sky, which looked...

That's artillery!

The staff members were stunned for a moment and quickly found the driving record, which contained the train schedule notified by the starting station. They followed the records and finally saw a line of handwritten handwriting on it, "Departing from Baoshan Station at 9:23 am, about 2:30 pm, the military train will pass by your station and enter the military sub-district. There is no stopping in the middle, and there is no need to get on the train to check."

So that's it!

They suddenly realized that no wonder that a train would suddenly arrive when they were not at the normal point. It turned out to be a military train.

Since that's the case, of course they no longer need to check the train. It was just out of curiosity that no one went back, but stood by the platform and stared at the train quickly approaching.

"Why are they all thin tubes?" A station staff member looked at the cannons tied on the flatbed truck and wondered.

"That's an anti-aircraft gun!" A border warrior next to him squinted his eyes and looked for a while, saying with confidence, "These rows in front are equipped with imitation of Soviet KC-19m2 anti-aircraft guns, with a caliber of 100 mm, and the domestic number is called the Type 59 100 mm anti-aircraft guns. The ones behind are also Type 59, but the caliber looks much smaller, so it should be 57 mm. Both of these guns are very high, and the caliber of 57 mm can hit more than 8,000 meters, and one hundred mm can hit more than 12,000 meters. This may be to help the other side strengthen the air defense firepower to avoid being bombed by the plane."

"So that's the case. Why are there cars tied up behind it?" Many of the station staff were locals and had never seen the military service before. When he heard him speak well, he suddenly realized it and asked again.

"It's rare and strange!" The border guard glanced at them and said, "A cannon is several tons. You think it's a tricycle, and you can walk by pushing it? Even if you have to find a mule to pull it away, right? Without a truck, even if you have more than a dozen people coming up, don't push it!"

"It's like this! Xiao Zhao, you know so much!" In order to listen more, other staff praised him a few words. A group of people stood by the platform, watching the military line roaring past the platform. Everyone pointed happily, and consciously gained a lot of insight.

"Is this the military division?"

On the military line, a group of soldiers in green uniforms were also looking out through the car window.

"It's not yet. I'll be at the riverside later and you'll see it when you turn. The military sub-district is across the river. Oh, by the way, they have changed their name now. The military sub-district and the Northeast Military Region have been merged into the Northern War Zone Command, and all the newly built places have been included." A staff officer, a soldier in his thirties, explained to his comrades.

"Haha, the Northern War Zone, he is so angry! There are less than 10,000 people, and the territory of one or two counties is also called the war zone!" A young soldier sneered and said disdainfully.

The other soldiers did not answer, but looking at their expressions, they seemed to feel disapproving.

"It's okay. The place is small, but it's a big military leader to have 10,000 people." A more kind middle-aged soldier next to him said to the military division.

"I heard that their military uniforms are very beautiful and look great when worn." Another soldier changed the topic.

Those who can enter the headquarters have very keen political insights and no one will talk nonsense. Just now, he unconsciously showed his contempt for the military sub-district, which is politically disrespectful to comrades in a friendly manner, which is an immature manifestation. This kind of thought can be found, but you have to hide it in your heart. It will become a handle if you say it publicly. Even if your superiors do not criticize it in public, they will definitely have opinions about you.

So he didn't want to continue this topic, so he simply turned aside.

"Well, the Type 79 automatic rifle is also quite good. Small caliber is the direction of future development of light weapons. It took so many years of domestic demonstrations to start research. They came up with a mature design, which is really rare." Others also understood his intention and followed the topic further.

"Someone suggested using their design directly, but it was later rejected. This gun was too finely made, with more labor hours and relatively high cost. The 5th Machinery Department has studied this gun. If we made it ourselves, each gun would cost more than 800 yuan, which we can't afford. They still tend to design a rifle with simple manufacturing technology and low cost, but they also overturned the original 7.62 mm design and prepared to absorb part of the design of the Type 79 automatic rifle and develop a five-point eight-mm small-caliber automatic rifle with a stock."

"Yes! The 5.8mm small-caliber bullet they made was very good, better than we did ourselves, and completely met the requirements of the troops. It was actually measured that the point of three millimeter steel plates can be penetrated at a maximum distance of 700 meters. Even if they wear bulletproof vests within a distance of 100 meters, they will be penetrated. So the assembly did not plan to do it by themselves, and directly introduced their bullet production line. We will also talk about this matter this time..."

"...The bulletproof vest is also very effective. In actual combat, the US military's old-fashioned m16a1 cannot be worn. They suffered such small casualties this time, and the bulletproof vest and bulletproof insertion board are also of great contribution!"

"The raw materials for this thing need to be imported from abroad, which is extremely expensive! It's okay to provide a small amount of elite troops, but we can't afford it if the entire army is equipped!"

"Actually, what I can't understand the most is how could Guan Fei run from 1,600 highland to Lashio overnight? That's 85 kilometers! This is not a cross-country training. It only takes about twenty minutes to run five kilometers, but if you have to run for a few hours in one breath, even the iron man can't stand it!"

"Yes, yes, this is what I am most interested in. It's not that they bragging, I don't believe he can run 85 kilometers in one night, otherwise he will try running in front of us..."

"Nonsense!" An old soldier who was always looking outside the window turned his head unhappily and scolded, "Whether they can run or not, the fact is that they destroyed the front-line airport of the Wild Army in one night, and it is not one! As for what to do, does this have to do with the result? Such publicity on the radio is at least very helpful in boosting people's morale, so we should not talk too much, but we should still adhere to our usual external attitude, be polite, respect others, listen more and talk less!"
