In February 1982, the office of General Zhang Zhen, deputy chief of staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, welcomed a surprise visit from three founding generals. They are General Chen Zaidao, commander-in-chief of the People's Liberation Army Railway Corps, Lu Zhengcao, the first political commissar, and Kuang Fuzhao, the second political commissar. However, this time it was not a debriefing, but a request for a report.
The Railroad Disbandment Crisis: The Shocking Decision of **.
Facing the three veteran generals in their sixtieth year, Zhang Zhen understood the purpose of their trip. General Chen Zaidao bluntly proposed: "Is there any room for negotiation so far in the decision to let the railway soldiers take off their uniforms?"Lu Zhengcao and Kuang Fuzhao also expressed their dissatisfaction with the decision. This "decision" refers to the order on the revocation of the formation of the "railway troops".
In front of Comrade Zhang Zhen, Chen Zaidao and the other three veteran generals did not twist at all, and directly expressed their intentions. They asked Zhang Zhen to report to *** and let him think again about the decision to keep the railway soldiers. However, ** did not change his original intention, but conveyed a sentence through Zhang Zhen, which convinced Chen Zaidao and made hundreds of thousands of railway soldiers accept the order of disarmament.
Disbanding the Railroad Corps: **'s thoughtfulness.
So, why did the Chinese Railway Army, as a steel force of our army, revoke its establishment so resolutely?
On the Korean battlefield, the Chinese railway soldiers created a steel transportation line that "cannot be broken and bombed continuously". U.S. General Van Vliet once praised the Chinese railroad soldiers as the world's most tenacious railroad builders, and their performance on the Korean battlefield is memorable. The U.S. bombing failed to stop the efforts of the Chinese railroad soldiers, who repaired the railroad to the front line of the battlefield and ensured the smooth flow of supplies**.
The glorious history of the railway soldiers: the achievements of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea are extraordinary.
On the Korean battlefield, the heroic performance of the Chinese railway soldiers won international recognition. Under the threat of aircraft bombing, they braved the hardships and dangers to quickly repair the destroyed railway. U.S. Army General Van Vliet bluntly said that without the Railway Army, the outcome of the Korean battlefield would be unknown. After the end of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the hard work of the Chinese railway soldiers laid a solid foundation for the development of the Korean railway, and created a steel transportation line that "could not be broken and bombed continuously".
Chinese Railway Soldiers: Overcoming obstacles to build the motherland's railways.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the railway soldiers became the builders of the mountains and rivers of the motherland. They actively participated in the construction of railway trunk lines, including the Yingxia Railway, the Guikun Railway, the Xiangyu Railway, etc., and each project was a miracle. In peacetime, more than 5,000 railway soldiers sacrificed their lives, creating great achievements for national construction.
Railway soldiers: The heroic chapter of the "Chengkun" railway.
The bravery of the railroad soldiers was manifested not only in wartime, but also in the construction process in peacetime. In the face of the arduous task of building the "Chengdu-Kunming" railway, the railway soldiers were not afraid of the severe natural conditions, overcame many difficulties with their hands and simple tools, and lasted 12 years to successfully build the Chengdu-Kunming railway, which was known as "one of the three miracles of human conquest of nature in the 20th century".
** Disarmament decision-making: Addressing the problem of "army expansion".
By 1982, however, China's military had grown to a staggering six million troops. Military spending accounts for one-sixth of the country's fiscal revenue every year, and defense industry expenditure accounts for one-quarter. In order to solve the problem of the expansion of the army, it was decided to implement the "million-dollar disarmament". In this context, the railroad soldiers are seen as part of it and become the object of disarmament.
The railroad soldiers "disbanded: **'s thoughtfulness.
Although the railway soldiers have left a glorious chapter in military history, they know that "there are not many soldiers, but they are fine". Although the railroad soldiers used to be the backbone of the army, in the era of reform and opening up, their tasks were handed over to the national market. In 1982, the railway corps was decisively disbanded through major disarmament.
Railroad Soldier: Eternal Hero.
Although the decision was controversial, disarmament was an inevitable choice in the context of the time. Although the railway corps was disbanded, its glorious history and heroic spirit will always remain. They were the heroes of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and the miracle creators of peacetime construction. Their sacrifices and efforts will forever be remembered in the long history of the country and become the glorious tradition of the Chinese people.
The article profoundly recounts the glorious moments of the Chinese railway soldiers on the historical stage, especially highlighting their heroic performance on the battlefield to resist US aggression and aid Korea. At the same time, it also presents the decision to disarm in order to solve the problem of army expansion in the early days of reform and opening up, and the difficult choice of including the railway troops.
The performance of the railroad soldiers on the Korean battlefield was truly amazing. In the face of the fierce bombing by the US military, they not only succeeded in repairing the destroyed railway, but also created a steel transportation line that "could not be broken and bombed continuously", and became the "protector" of the volunteers. This period of history makes people deeply feel the tenacity and hard work of the railway soldiers, and the scenes of heroic struggle for the interests of the country seem to be vivid.
The article also mentions the decision to disarm in the early days of reform and opening up, reducing the size of the 6 million huge army, of which the railway troops have become one of the targets of disarmament. Behind this decision is the deliberate thinking of ***, who has struck a difficult balance between nation-building and the size of the army. Although the railway troops had distinguished themselves in war, in peacetime the tasks had gradually been entrusted to the national market. Such a decision, although controversial, seemed inevitable in the general environment at the time.
Disarmament decision-making in this historical context presents a complex trade-off between the economy and national defense. ** Profound reform of the armed forces has been carried out through the "Great Disarmament of the Millions" in order to better use the country's resources for modernization. This also highlights the state's wise policy decisions in the process of social development, and pays attention to adjusting the structure of the armed forces in different historical periods to meet the needs of the country's overall development.
In general, through the glorious history of the railway soldiers and the disarmament decision-making, the article outlines a picture of the tenacious struggle, sacrifice and dedication of the Chinese people. This is a magnificent chapter in history, and the heroic deeds of the railway soldiers will forever shine in the history of the country. The disarmament decision of the country shows the wise leadership decision-making of the country in the changing situation and lays a solid foundation for the long-term development of the country.
