Northeast is east of the capital, and the longitude of Vladivostok is more than one time zone away.
Therefore, it gets dark early here and dawns early in the morning. However, in winter, the nights here are long and the days are short, and the daytime is only about ten hours. So there is not much time left to rush.
The army had breakfast in Vladivostok before departure. On the way, except for an hour's break at noon to eat, I was always on the road.
The cooking team set up a large pot, shoveled in the ice and snow, burned the small trees cut down by the roadside as fuel, and boiled the water to cook the noodles. Melt the frozen hard meat sauce in a large pot and mix it with the noodles.
Busia was dancing excitedly. The little girl had never eaten noodles, so she watched the patriarch eat them.
She didn't expect that the master would give them such precious food.
They have always been eating leftovers from the adults in the tribe. If you don't have enough to eat, go find some bugs, wild vegetables, mushrooms, etc.
The reason for this is that women have a low status. Another is that these savage tribes, like the nomads, value the young and the strong, and despise the old and the weak. Because in such a harsh environment, it is necessary to ensure that the hunters have enough to eat, otherwise, the entire tribe will starve to death.
Yang Fan and his wife had lunch in the carriage. It's too cold outside. The car windows were frozen.
Xiao Niangpi and the others resolutely refused to get out of the car. Yang Fan had no choice but to accompany them to eat hot pot in the car. After drinking some high-strength liquor, the wives felt warmer.
In the afternoon, continue the march. As a result, the wind picked up. Level 6 strong winds blew up big smoke cannons. Snow and fog filled the air, and no one could be seen three or four meters away. In order to prevent them from getting separated, Li Huaishu immediately ordered to stop advancing. Everyone huddled together, squatting on the ground, covering their hoods to prevent snow foam from pouring into them.
When the smoke cannon is turned on, the fine snow powder will penetrate into the underwear from the collar, cuffs, etc. Then it was melted by the body temperature and made the underwear wet. In this way, cotton clothes will not keep you warm. Frostbite can occur quickly.
After the skin is frostbitten, it will turn black and ooze yellow water. It's extremely itchy and hurts when you scratch it. In severe cases, the frostbitten area can only be cut off or the limb is amputated.
The military uniforms prepared by Yang Fan all have trouser legs and cuffs locked with elastic bands. The neckline also has an elastic band around the neck. There is also a hood inside the hood of the down jacket, with only the eyes, mouth and nose exposed. ww
Although this ensures that you won't get frostbite, you won't be able to recognize who is who at all.
In order to solve this problem, the name, position, and affiliation should be written on the front and back of the clothes.
In this way, after waiting for an hour and the wind stopped, the army shook off the snow on their bodies and continued to move forward.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sun was about to set. Li Huaishu ordered the march to stop and organized a camp.
This is a mountain col with mountains on three sides, which can block the cold wind. On one side is a frozen river for easy access to water. Camp here tonight.
Yang Fan got out of the car with his ladies. Have dinner, set up tent, and prepare for the night.
Yang Fan was well prepared and had all kinds of cold-proof supplies.
The officers and soldiers also brought sufficient supplies. An inch-thick wool felt was spread on the ground so that people would not feel cold when sitting on it. A bonfire is raised in the middle to keep warm, or a frame can be set up, a horse crane can be hoisted, and food can be cooked.
I relied on my sleeping bag to sleep. Because there were bonfires and sentries, there was no need to worry about sneak attacks from wolves at night.
Yang Fan himself brought the famous camping brand products of later generations. Use a special camping tent in the forest and snow fields. The floor is covered with inflatable air mattresses, which are very protective against the cold. There is an iron stove and briquettes in the house, and the room is as warm as spring.
These equipments were all transferred using gold. Yang Fan couldn't equip the officers and soldiers.
Moreover, a dog-drawn sledge cannot carry a cotton tent. Being able to protect his family is the limit. After all, the iron stove and briquettes take up a dog sled.
This campsite was well chosen and there was no wind. So as soon as the bonfire was lit, it immediately felt much warmer. It’s not like when you’re camping and having dinner at noon, your chest is warm from the fire and your back is cold from the wind.
The cold wind blowing from the back felt like it penetrated the body, taking away the little heat from the body.
The cold wind blew on my face, causing burning pain. Like a knife cutting. Everyone is required to smear lard on their exposed skin to prevent it from cracking.
In fact, as long as there is no wind, the cold weather is still bearable. After all, they all wear a lot. The bonfire can burn more than three meters high and bring enough warmth to everyone.
Yang Fan and his wives sat in front of the tent. The bonfire heated their faces and made them glow red in the reflection.
Millet porridge was cooking in the surrounding army pots. The officers and soldiers used their bayonets to pick up naan cakes and roast them on the bonfire. Fifty kilograms of luncheon meat in a tinplate bucket was opened, cut into small pieces with a bayonet, and distributed to everyone to eat with biscuits.
The hot and sour soup is ready, and the cooking team carries stainless steel thermos buckets and puts them in lunch boxes for everyone.
Yang Fan deliberately brought his wife to eat the same food as the officers and soldiers. They have become special by living in tents. Mainly to take care of the female relatives. If he himself was sleeping in a sleeping bag in the snow like everyone else.
Yang Fan finished eating and wiped his mouth. Getting ready to go back to the tent. The little Busia came with great difficulty holding a big copper pot and poured milk tea for the master and his wife.
When marching outside, you can only use your lunch box as a bowl.
Yang Fan looked at the bonfire and drank the scalding milk tea. He suddenly became interested and sang softly.
There are iron ridges, sheer rocks, dense forests, heavy rain and strong winds, and war horses roaring by the wasteland waterside.
We unite around the fire, and the sky is filled with red. …
Listening to the master singing a song, everyone put down their food and listened quietly.
The lyrics of this song are adapted from the ancient song "Luohua Diao", and it sounds very tragic and exciting when sung.
The sky is covered with thick shade, filled with wild flowers, the wet clouds are low and dark, and it is hard to breathe with sweat dripping from your feet.
Fireworks shot into the sky, and mosquitoes sucked blood through the clothes. Warriors! Enthusiasm to break through the mountains of Xing'an.
…………
Xiao Niangpi, Lin Yueru and others quietly listened to the master's humming. Under the illumination of the blazing bonfire, it seemed that the officers and soldiers of the pioneering regiment were working hard to develop the wilderness of Northeast China under all kinds of difficulties.
This plain has been a virgin land since ancient times, and no agricultural people have ever set foot on it.
Wild beasts are rampant here, and this is the first time that Han people have been exploited.
The fields are open to the wilderness, white dew is flowing across the sky, the night fire is shining brightly, and the enemy's fortresses are frequently frightened and the horses are stopped in their tracks.
The grass is withered, the gold is strong, the wind is strong, and the fire does not burn in the morning frost. brothers! The Jingbo Waterfall evokes a deep noon dream.
…
Lin Yueru frowned and thought, Jingbo is the beautiful Jingbo Lake that the master talked about. The master once said. Mudanjiang, rice warehouse. It is said that it is a treasure land with fertile land and rich products.
It's better to take that place and make a fiefdom for my daughter. You must act coquettishly a few more times to get that piece of land.
She looked at Yang Fan secretly. Seeing Yang Fan's beautiful side face humming a ballad under the light of the campfire, I couldn't help but be a little crazy.
The wind is roaring, the snow is flying, the horses are hesitating, and the air-conditioning makes it difficult to sleep at night.
The fire warms the chest, and the wind chills the back.
Strong men! Sincere struggle swept through Nenjiangyuan.
Great ambition, how can it be destroyed?
Let us unite to fight against the national calamity, overcome the difficulties, and take back our country.
Yang Fan sang in a trance for a while. For a moment, I seemed to see the scenes of the Anti-Alliance officers and soldiers fighting the Japanese invaders among the white mountains and black waters. This "Camping Song" by General Li Zhaolin also sings Yang Fan's feelings of restoring the hometown of Nuer Gandusi.
There were three arduous struggles in the revolutionary war years. One is the 25,000-mile Long March of the Central Red Army. One is the guerrilla war in the eight southern provinces. There is also the anti-Japanese guerrilla war in the three northeastern provinces.
The 40,000-strong Resistance Alliance fought against the one-million-strong Kwantung Army, the most elite, well-equipped and best-trained Japanese aggressors. Lasted for fourteen years.
Between white mountains and black waters, in extremely harsh environments, they fought tens of thousands of times and lost 99% of their officers and soldiers. In the end, only about 300 people saw victory.
For a moment, Yang Fan's eyes became moist. Thinking of the subsequent history, Yang Fan secretly made up his mind that he did not believe that the fate of the country could not be restored and that history would not be allowed to turn into ashes.
He wanted to change the course of subsequent history and make the right choice for this suffering nation at this crossroads of history.
In the years to come, this camping song became the military song of the Northeastern Corps, inspiring generations of officers and soldiers to defend the country, guard the borders, and fight in the north and south, becoming an elite division of the empire.
