"Instructor, do you hear the dog crying?It looks like he's going to die!”
In 1979, a small soldier at the **Zuogong Military Station woke up his instructor in the middle of the night.
After the instructor Feng Zhengrong woke up, he heard the two Tibetan mastiffs at the military station crying sadly, and even a little heartbreaking.
There is a local saying that the day after the dog cries, it will die, although it is just a rumor, but many people are very concerned.
Feng Zhengrong calmed down for a moment, and said to the little soldier disappreciatively: "Sleep well, and talk about it tomorrow." ”
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened.
In 1979, the 18th Automobile Regiment stationed in Jiajiang County, Sichuan, received a transportation mission into Tibet.
Among them, 13 companies were led by company commander Li Nenghao and instructor Feng Zhengrong.
In the army, automobile cadres all need to be able to drive, and those who dare to lead the team to run the Sichuan-Tibet line are also skilled in technology.
They walked along the Sichuan-Tibet line for nearly ten days and came to Zuogong County, where there is a Zuogong military station, which is a place for military transport vehicles to rest and replenish, more than ten kilometers away from the county seat.
It is sparsely populated, and there is not even a wall around the military station, so in order to take care of this barracks, the officers and soldiers of the military station raised two Tibetan mastiffs here.
Although the Tibetan mastiff is a descendant of the Tibetan dog, it is huge in size, and fierce in nature, biting people, and very lethal.
But Tibetan mastiffs are very intelligent, and once domesticated, they will understand many things, such as knowing that they are their own people who wear military uniforms, and they never bite;And those in civilian clothes, as long as they are accompanied by military uniforms, they do not bite.
Even if there are foreign military vehicles, the Tibetan mastiffs know them, and they will come forward and wag their tails in welcome. When the military vehicles leave, they will also wag their tails to say goodbye.
But as soon as a stranger in civilian clothes appears, the two Tibetan mastiffs are warned, and if they do not listen to the warning and rush forward, they may pounce and bite, and then there will be a big problem.
If there are no people from the army to come to the rescue, then the probability of these people being injured is very high.
Because there are few people here, there are many tasks during the day, and at night, the soldiers are exhausted one by one.
Since these two Tibetan mastiffs, the soldiers at the station have been able to sleep well at night.
After the 13th Company came to the Zuogong Station, the two Tibetan mastiffs accepted them at once, not only wagging their tails around them, but also taking the initiative to help them carry some luggage tools or something.
In the evening, the warriors lit a bonfire, and two Tibetan mastiffs lay beside them and watched them, their faces full of pampering.
However, in the second half of the night, the two Tibetan mastiffs suddenly began to cry.
The soldiers hurriedly woke up the instructor Feng Zhengrong, who was afraid that it would affect the rest of the soldiers, so he urged them to hurry up and go to bed, saying that they would have to hurry up the next day.
Early the next morning, the soldiers of the Zuogong military station found the company commander and instructor of the 13th company and told them about what had happened in another military station.
That year, a military convoy came to Zhuka Station, and that night, their dog whimpered.
The soldiers at the station advised the convoy to wait two days before leaving for the road, but the convoy insisted on setting off for fear of delaying the supply of the troops in front.
Unexpectedly, less than a day later, news came that a car in that convoy had overturned off a cliff.
If this is just a coincidence, then after another Bayi military station encountered a dog crying, a car encountered a collapse the next day, and a soldier was smashed and died.
Therefore, the local fighters are very confident that the dog has foreseen it in the dark - something is really going to happen!
The 13th Company was going to cross the Nu River at that time, which was originally an extremely dangerous mission, and it happened that the two Tibetan mastiffs were crying, and the soldiers thought that this might not be a coincidence.
Faced with such a situation, the company commander and the instructor had no choice but to discuss what to do.
Director Feng said that if we stop and don't leave, then we will encounter a foster care dilemma ahead, not just a matter of one or a few soldiers sacrificed, it is the whole army trapped together!
Company Commander Li thought about it and felt that it made sense, this road itself was a natural hazard, and there might be problems whenever he walked, and he couldn't delay his military mission for an unpredictable thing.
As a result, all the officers and men of the 13th Company resolutely decided to go on the road as scheduled, as if they were going to face death and die calmly.
In order to appease everyone's feelings, the troops decided to postpone the departure by half an hour and let everyone have their vehicles overhauled again.
Moreover, Director Feng once again made the last safety mobilization, telling the team to strictly follow the driving specifications, attach great importance to it, and not be a little careless.
At the same time, they also gave everyone a map of the dangerous roads of the Nujiang River, so that everyone could remember every bend and every narrow section.
To ensure safety, they also slowed down a bit to allow the team to get used to the rugged mountain road.
The rest of the morning was uneventful.
By noon, the soldiers were well fed, because they had to face an extremely steep mountain road when they went down: from the top of the mountain of 4,628 meters, it took only more than 30 kilometers to descend to the bottom of the ditch of more than 2,800 meters.
The steepness of the mountain road is not the most dangerous, the danger is that there are 72 more turns, and you can't even see what's on the other side of the corner when you turn and slide.
There are more than 40 cars in the fleet, and it is very difficult to keep each car at the same speed.
After an afternoon of landslides, the army finally reached the Karma Gully at the bottom unharmed.
But when he was resting and eating in the evening, Feng Gui was a little famous, and he found that three cars were missing.
One was car No. 61, the other was the car of Company Commander Li, who was the queen of the palace, and a relief vehicle, all of which did not follow.
The driver of the No. 61 car is called Liu Xuexian, a native of Gansu Province, who has extremely strong military qualities, and he had previously lost contact with the large army because of a snowstorm on the Sichuan-Tibet line.
However, with his tenacious will and skill, he drove the car to the Dumuling Military Station alone.
Everyone thinks that such a fighter with a lot of experience will not necessarily have a big problem even if he goes missing.
But at nine o'clock in the evening, there was still no news of the three cars in the convoy, and seeing that it was about to get dark, Director Feng was in a hurry.
So, he sent several fighters to take turns intercepting each passing vehicle on the side of the road, wanting to ask if they had seen three military vehicles.
It is also an eye-opener, and the vehicles in one place saw the soldiers in military uniforms and took the initiative to stop.
Then the driver of that car said that he met three military vehicles on the road, one of which broke down, and the other two were helping the car solve the problem.
The driver also said that it was one of the "officials" who told him that he should see the military convoy and that he must help them pass on the news, saying that they would catch up with the car after repairing it.
When Director Feng heard this, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
At about 11 o'clock in the evening, Company Commander Li finally led three vehicles to join the large army.
The soldiers were surprised and delighted, some people said, this is called "saying that it is not poisonous", and Director Feng broke the "heavenly machine" with everyone early in the morning, so the heavenly machine will not work.
Some soldiers also said that they were able to successfully cross the Nujiang River, which really benefited from the cry of the two Tibetan mastiffs, and after everyone learned of the danger of this trip, almost every pore on the road did not dare to relax.
However, Director Feng said that it was the courage of the soldiers who put life and death aside that moved the gods of the snow-capped mountains, and they did not encounter a snowstorm along the way, which was also the favor of God.
These warriors, who have been fighting on the life and death line in Sichuan and Tibet all year round, also laughed happily.
Speaking of the automobile soldiers on the Qinghai-Tibet, Sichuan-Tibet, and Xin-Tibet lines on the roof of the world, they have been walking through snow-capped mountains and rivers all year round, and have never been afraid of death.
Many people who have seen them say that the convoy of the troops is really neat, and the distance between the front and rear of each vehicle is exactly the same, just like kicking the right step, and there is not even a single "bubbling" one.
Even if the automobile soldiers have such a high quality, the soldiers who died on the plateau abound.
In 1981, Nyingchi suffered a landslide, and in order to prevent the front-line comrades from starving, the soldiers insisted on priing open the big stones on the road, and rubbed the stones on the side of the road only 20 centimeters away from the cliff side.
Without the courage to put life and death aside, it is impossible to create this earth-shaking miracle.
With this article, I would like to pay tribute to the automobile soldiers who fought on the snowy plateau!
