The beacon of youth

However, in the development history of more than 2000 years, Xin Jiang, a land composed of deserts and high mountains, has been performing killing and bloodshed. There has never been a safe life in this ancient land, especially in modern China. The dictatorial rule and the invasion of foreign tribes made the situation in Xin Jiang more complicated and confusing, so that the late Qing court had a headache for this land. Fortunately, Zuo Zongtang, the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, had a passion for it. This tough Hunan man carried a coffin to fight, and he insisted on stabilizing the chaotic Xin Jiang.

There are many ethnic groups in Xinjiang. In addition to the Han nationality, there are more than a dozen ethnic minorities such as Uyghur, Kazakh, Mongolian, and Hui. Historically, the relationship between the Han rulers and the ethnic minorities in Xinjiang has rarely been harmonious. Xin Jiang is also located on the border, bordering Mongolia, the Soviet Union, Afghanistan, Pakistan and other countries, and border conflicts occur from time to time.

The problem is very complicated, so complicated that everything can torture people, such as the border issue, there is no one on the border between Xin Jiang and many countries, it is an endless no-man's land and desert Gobi, There are no fixed markers, and the so-called boundaries are all vaguely positioned. Coupled with the continuous flow of sand dunes, for thousands of years, no one can tell which is the national boundary.

In modern times, with the development of science and technology, Xinjiang's rich geographical resources have also been detected one after another, which has aroused the eyes of foreigners. In modern times, the Qing government was incompetent, and the country was poor and weak, and it was impossible to guarantee it. The political situation in Xin Jiang, Xin Jiang became a troubled place again. In 1851, the Manchu Qing government signed the first unequal treaty with Tsarist Russia, and the "Sino-Russian Ita Commercial Regulations" came after that.Various messy treaties followed one after another. The Tsarist Empire not only controlled the market in Xinjiang, but also cut off more than 40 square kilometers of land. What is the concept of more than 40 square kilometers of land?An area equivalent to two Korean peninsulas has been crossed out in a few decades. The matter is not over yet. In the late period of the Liberation War, the US government, which supported the Kuomintang, also lost confidence. In order to leave hidden dangers for the new China that will be established The Consulate General established by the US government in Xinjiang is about to move, and the Deputy Consul General Mark Nan led a series of people to wait around for activities.Inciting independence and various ethnic antagonisms, the so-called East Turkestan and East Turkestan left a curse at that time.

Fortunately, many people in the former Xinjiang Kuomintang army believed that no matter how the Kuomintang and the Communist Party fought, it was an internal matter of the country. If they wanted independence, not only the Communist Party disagreed, but also the Kuomintang.Jurisdiction in & fu.

The Kuomintang army revolted, and the government obeyed.So is this the end of the matter? The xin jiang problem will be at ease?In fact, things are far from over.

There are more than [-] Kuomintang defenders in Xinjiang. Not all of these [-] troops are directly descendants of Tao Zhiyue, but some of them are troops from the Jiang and Guangxi cliques. In other words, Tao Zhiyue's orders are not seen. It must be implemented, and he may not be able to completely shock the scene, so Chiang Kai-shek and Bai Chongxi sent telegrams to their cronies in Xin Jiang, asking them to pull the troops to Xingxing Gorge on the border of Xin Jiang and Gansu to deploy defenses. Innate advantages prevent the People's Liberation Army from entering Xinjiang, if it fails.Just like the little devils, come up with a three-light policy, turning the eastern part of Xinjiang and all the roads that can enter Xinjiang into no-man's land, so that the People's Liberation Army can't settle there and take root, and then retreat to southern Xinjiang, relying on Tianshan and Kunlun Mountain.Backed by foreign forces, it has been dealing with the People's Liberation Army for a long time.

If this happens, the trouble will be big, and the Xin Jiang problem will not be resolved in a short time. Fortunately, Commander Tao Zhiyue has decisively adopted a series of measures to prevent the above-mentioned things from happening. The Jiang and Guangxi factions have also lost confidence in Chiang Kai-shek and Bai Chongxi. Even the main force of the Kuomintang army of several million is no match for the PLA. *zheng fu is just causing more trouble, but in the end it will inevitably end up being wiped out.

Just when the high-ranking former Kuomintang army in Xinjiang interacted with the head office of the First Field Army of the People's Liberation Army, time quietly reached the first day of October [-]. What kind of day is this?It was a day of national celebration. When the news reached Jiuquan, the entire army was in a state of excitement. Even Li Yong, a latecomer, was extremely happy, not to mention those old Red Army and veterans who had fought for more than [-] years.

People cheered, were happy, and used all means to celebrate the happiness in their hearts. The People's Army has carried out armed struggles for more than 20 years and sacrificed countless cadres and soldiers. This day finally ushered in, how can people be unhappy.

Although the Northwest Field Army has the fewest number of major field armies, it has the oldest seniority. The history of the People's Army is calculated from the August 1926st Nanchang Uprising in [-], but this is just a rough day, or there are The days of commemorative significance, the real experience of armed struggle is earlier, this is deeply felt by the old revolutionaries of the Northwest Field Army. Her seniority is frighteningly old. She participated in the revolution a year earlier than the famous Commander Wang Zhen. Sister Li Zhen was once the deputy head of the organization department of the Second Red Front Army. Few people can compare with her in both position and seniority. If it weren't for gender reasons, Sister Li, who was in charge of the county's armed struggle, would definitely have been higher than the major general when she was awarded the title in [-] years.

Everyone is happy, of course Li Yong and Brigadier Li are also very happy, but unlike others, Li Yong is also faintly worried in his joy, because Brigadier Li is very clear in his mind, he has only been in Jiuquan for a few days Wait, the troops will soon enter Xinjiang, what will they do after entering Xinjiang?Like the Second Army, it became the Nongken Construction Corps, and started construction in Xinjiang?This is not my original purpose. In this way, the ** brigade that has been painstakingly built will be useless, and its strong combat effectiveness will no longer be able to be displayed.

Happiness is also tinged with worry, this is Li Yong's current mood, but no one can tell how he feels, not even Hu Xiaolian, his wife-to-be, because if he says it, he might be caught as a witch , even if he is not caught as a goblin, the security department of the field army will talk to him, and you can know Zhong Yang's strategic decisions in advance?is it possible! !So I had to bear it silently, but life had to go on as usual. Just when Li Yong was worrying about gains and losses, Chief of Staff Chen Haihan of the Sixth Army came over.

Who is Chief of Staff Chen Haihan?Don't look at the impression that people are careless, in fact, Jing is very shrewd, he doesn't rub the sand in his eyes, Li Yong's emotions are captured by him keenly, and he yelled when he met him: "Hey, I What's the matter with you boy, Dayong, after the founding of New China, the heads of government and central yang are all over the world, why do I look at you, you seem a little unhappy, do you think you are a small official? That's good Do it, I will make a report that day, and I will give you the position of chief of staff, and I will be the brigade commander of your ** brigade, and we brothers will change, what do you think?"

The old comrades in arms are happy together. When they were eating together, Chen Haihan told Li Yong mysteriously: "Dayong, I don't want to eat your meal in vain. If there is any news, I will tell you in advance. Yes, I heard that Boss Peng is coming back from Beijing, and it is said that the superior has a new policy, that we will assign our Sixth Army to your regiment, and enter Xinjiang with you, how about it, it is shocking enough."

The news was really shocking. Boss Peng, who had just attended the founding ceremony, was staggering towards Jiuquan in a jeep. Beijing was still immersed in the joy, but Boss Peng had already put the celebration in his head. On the side, because there are still big things waiting for him to complete.

Boss Peng came back with a mission. There are three missions. First, prepare quickly and try to enter Xinjiang in November to eliminate banditry, stabilize order, and resume production.Second, prepare to cultivate and guard the frontier, open up wasteland and open up fields, and then launch a large-scale production movement.Third, take over the Laojunmiao Oil Mine smoothly so that the machine can be called and the oil can come out.

It is easy to take over the oilfield, as long as the workers' emotions are stabilized, it is almost the same, but the first and second tasks are not so easy, especially the reclamation and development of fields, this is not a task that can be completed in a day or two, Peng The boss knows a lot about the history of Xin Jiang, and knows how difficult it is for a large army to guard the border. This is a task that may take decades or decades to fight.

Who to send to complete this task? ? ?Who can carry out the superior's decision well, the candidate given by the Communist Party at that time was—Commander Wang Zhen of the First Corps, who is famous in the northwest.

Who doesn't know that the [-]th Brigade in Nanniwan opened up wasteland back then, with Commander Wang in Xinjiang, he was a very suitable candidate whether it was fighting or farming.

At the same time Boss Peng was returning to Jiuquan, Li Yong and his old comrade-in-arms Chief of Staff Chen Haihan were also drinking more and more wine. Chief of Staff Chen asked with a little alcohol: "Dayong, I know you have a lot of tricks, you Tell me, what needs to be paid attention to when we enter Xinjiang in the future." (To be continued..)
