Iron memories under the torrent of steel: 35 years of the PLA railway soldiers
"Railway soldiers" - this is now a little-known title, but it carries a period of burning passion, a period of paving the way and building bridges for the construction of the republic, they are dressed in military uniforms, holding steel guns, but not rushing to the battlefield filled with gunpowder, but with hammers, steel drills, in the mountains and mountains, in the Gobi Desert, carved out a piece of steel dragons, for the rise of New China has made immortal contributions
In 1945, the smoke of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression had not yet dissipated, and the Northeast People's Autonomous Army formed a special team to ensure the transportation of war materials, which was the predecessor of the Railway Army, which shouldered the important task of defending the smooth flow of railways and repairing bridges damaged in the war, and made important contributions to the victory of the Liberation War
In 1949, the Central Military Commission formally established the Railway Corps of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, a special force that embarked on the journey of building a "road in every mountain and a bridge in the water" for the Republic
From the white mountains and black waters to the ends of the earth, from the frozen forests and snowfields in the north to the southern frontier of the scorching sun, the footprints and sweat of the railway soldiers have been left everywhere, and they are famous all over the world for "the steel transportation line that cannot be broken and bombed continuously"; in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, they braved the indiscriminate bombing of enemy planes, rushed to repair bridges and roads, ensured the supply of materials on the front line, and made great contributions to the victory of the war
During the period of peaceful construction, the railway soldiers undertook the heavy task of national railway construction, and they carried forward the revolutionary spirit of "not being afraid of hardship and not afraid of death", overcoming difficulties unimaginable to ordinary people, and creating one miracle after another on earth
The Chengdu-Kunming Railway, which is known as "the iron bond that symbolizes the friendship between Chinese and foreign peoples", is a miracle in the history of railway construction in the world...... The harsh natural environment and arduous construction conditions did not stop the progress of the railway soldiers
In order to build the Chengdu-Kunming Railway, countless railway soldiers sacrificed their precious lives, according to statistics, in the process of building the Chengdu-Kunming Railway, an average of one railway soldier died per kilometer, some of them were buried by the rocks, some fell into the cliff, and some dedicated themselves to the rolling river...... They did not flinch, and used their lives to interpret the heroic oath of "sacrifice and ambition, dare to change the mountain".
In order to conquer the "roof of the world", they challenged the limits of life, overcame world-class problems such as cold and hypoxia, frozen soil construction, and wrote a magnificent chapter of "challenging the limit and creating first-class" on the snowy plateau with iron will and tenacious perseverance
With the development of the times and the needs of army building, the railway soldiers, a heroic unit that has made great achievements in the construction of the railways of the Republic, are also faced with a historical choice
In 1982, the Central Military Commission made a major decision: to abolish the railway corps and merge it into the Ministry of Railways
For many railway soldiers, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow, they have dedicated their youth and blood to the construction of the motherland's railway, have long regarded the title of "railway soldiers" as a part of their lives, and now, to take off the military uniform that has been worn for many years, farewell to this team that has been fighting for many years, the sadness and reluctance in their hearts can be imagined
General Chen Zaidao, who was the commander of the railway troops at the time, was also under tremendous pressure, and he was well aware of the deep feelings of the railway soldiers for the troops, and also understood the confusion and uneasiness in their hearts; as a veteran party member and veteran soldier who had been tested for a long time, he knew very well that obeying orders was the duty of a soldier, and he also understood that reform was the inevitable trend of the development of the times
He reviewed the glorious history of the railway soldiers, affirmed their tremendous contributions to the construction of the national railways, and encouraged them to continue to carry forward the glorious tradition of the railway soldiers in their new posts and make new contributions to the modernization of the motherland
On January 1, 1984, the railway soldiers officially withdrew from the sequence of the People's Liberation Army and merged into the Ministry of Railways, which was an unforgettable day for all the railway soldiers
Although the railway soldiers have become history, their spirit is forever engraved in the annals of the Republic, and they have used their youth and blood to compose a heroic hymn to the magnificent mountains and rivers, leaving us with valuable spiritual wealth
Today, when we take the train and speed on the vast land of the motherland, please do not forget those railway soldiers who have paid their youth and lives for the construction of the railway, their deeds and spirit will always inspire us to work hard to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
