Volume 10, Battle for Domination, Volume 75, Hump Route

.

The Chinese people are unable to resist and cannot defeat the Chinese people. The rear of an unprecedentedly large-scale construction airport was unfolded. Kangding Airport, with an altitude of 4,230 meters, is located in Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Sichuan, and the third highest airport in the world. The first battle in 1917 was launched at the Kangding Airport construction site.

Kangding Airport is located in the sea of ​​more than 4,200 meters. The first mountain is difficult to eliminate snow for many years and the cold wind is biting. However, what makes the engineering troops most trouble is the large area of ​​ice soil all over the mountain. After a shovel of excavators, they can only pick up some slags and drip water down.

Such soil obviously cannot be used for backfilling the runway foundation. The officers and soldiers were all anxious and looked for soil everywhere. The officers and soldiers found qualified soil in the distance, and then rammed it hard after backfilling. The ramming machine lifted a heavy iron plate with a self-weight of 50 tons and smashed it hard on the ground. This smash had a full 300 tons of force. Zheduoshan trembled. In the continuous dull impact, the prototype of the runway foundation appeared on Zheduoshan like a lying dragon.

On the day of construction, Liu Tiebing, the political commissar of the Engineering Corps, left the construction site, was in a good mood. The car drove to the Zheduoshan Pass, and he led the captain Zhao Sifeng and the project acceptance officer Long Tianyun out of the car. Like all the mountain passes in Tibetan areas, there is also a pile of prayer flags floating here. Liu Tiebing led his two subordinates to walk around the pile.

According to the habits of Tibetan fellow villagers, we should also pick up stone slabs engraved with scriptures and put them on the pile of nima. We should tie a strip of scriptures on the row of prayer flags that were blown by the wind, so that we can dedicate ourselves to the top of the windy mountain. But Liu Tiebing had nothing in his hand. He said, can we offer a solid runway to the people of Kangding? It depends on you! As the saying goes, there is no need to hit the gongs heavily, and the two subordinates answered in unison: Please rest assured, the commander of the corps! We will never embarrass the troops!

In September 1917, the news came, and the main runway of Kangding Airport was successfully completed. The brand new runway was like a silver Hada, falling on the top of Zheduo Mountain. On October 28 of the same year, the plane was successfully tested. Liu Tiebing quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the news broadcast on CCTV.

Ali Kunsha Airport is 4,273 meters above sea level, located in Ali, Tibet, and is the second highest airport in the world. Compared with Kangding, the Ali Airport project is more difficult. In the whole of Lhasa, there are only a handful of drivers who dare to run to Ali. When crossing the unmanned land, the road is always circling 4,000 to 5,000 feet, and the lack of oxygen makes people feel a splitting headache - the political commissar who rushed to Ali day and night did not fall asleep along the way.

When we arrived at Ali, the sandstorm first made a move. The yellow dust suddenly rose in the sky and built a yellow sand wall. Then it was like waves rolling, covering the sky and the sun. The sky and the earth were dim, and the sheds where the officers and soldiers lived were shaking and squeaking. It was as if they were about to fall apart immediately. The living area was hard, and the engineering troops were used to it, but they did not expect that the floods in the Ali area that had never been encountered in a hundred years also came to join in the fun.

Ali Airport is located in a wetland, with high groundwater water level and high water content. When the flood comes, the construction site is soaked in water and has to be forced to stop work. When encountering a narrow road, the brave will win, fight! The engineering corps redeveloped a schedule for work and rest. The construction plan for segmentation, segmentation and forced platoons has been formulated. On the desolate Ali Plateau, a bright city that never sleeps for the first time appeared. Machinery and vehicles roared all night long, and the light columns of the headlights cut through the night sky.

In a few days, drainage ditches appeared, like capillaries, exported the accumulated water, poured into the water puddle, and then discharged by the pump. The water level dropped rapidly, and the officers and soldiers replaced the runway foundation to ensure the quality of the project. On plateaus like Ali, government departments stipulated that they worked 6 hours a day. However, the construction time of the engineering corps was more than 16 hours a day. This kind of high-intensity construction lasted until September 15, and the earthwork was completed ahead of schedule and successfully passed the acceptance. The engineering corps fought a beautiful battle!

Bonda Airport, 4334 meters of sea, located in Tibet:.=Airport. The task is clear: the renovation and expansion project must start in early August, and the entire expansion project will be completed in 10 pieces. Perhaps others don’t know that Liu Tiebing has experienced the high cold and oxygen deficiency and changing climate of Bonda. In a year, the golden construction time is from 5 to 10. Even if the construction can be started in early August, there will be only more than one month of construction time. Can the earthwork project of hundreds of thousands of cubic meters be obtained?

Once November enters, the weather is cold and the ground is freezing, and nothing can be done! It is necessary. In the situation of Bonda, cadres with strong sense of responsibility go up! Liu Tiebing made up his mind and dispatched troops and quickly notified the troops retreating from the construction site of Yushu Airport in Qinghai and Ali Airport in Tibet to turn around and head straight for Bonda.

Well, after thinking about it, he thought of Rao Fucai, the captain of the Second Brigade.

Rao Fucai didn't dare to delay, so he flew into Bonda immediately. The officers and soldiers of the transfer site came from the 4273-meter-long construction site of Yushu Airport at 3970. Although he came, he was still a little shorter - this is the case on the plateau, and the height difference of dozens of meters is different.

The officers and soldiers had nosebleeds, headaches and nausea, and couldn't eat or sleep. The altitude sickness was very strong. Rao Fucai was not soft-hearted and led everyone to camp to build roads, pull wires and bury water pipes. Now that time is so tight, the mind is relaxed a little, the morale will be dissipated, and the task will not be completed! By then, their second brigade will become the sinners of the Ninth Corps, and the officers and soldiers will not be spared!

On the 88th, the project started as scheduled. They wanted to dig 22 meters of a mountain to complete the earth and stone. This work was nothing to the engineering corps, but it was different in Bonda. The cold winter whistled and slipped and could not run. The mountain was hard "ice armor", and the excavator steel bucket was smashed down, leaving only a few white marks. After finally digging a truck of soil and transporting it to the filling area, it was frozen on the dump, so it had to be dug it down with an excavator. Rao Fucai quickly summoned everyone to find a way, and finally decided to use the wolf pack tactics to temporarily transfer two high-powered Viagra 330 excavators to the head, leading a group of small-powered excavators to open the work surface, and divided the entire mountain.

Because he was too tired, too cold, and too hard, Rao Fu fell ill. The comrades around him wanted to send him to Chamdo for rest. Rao Fu refused. There were many people on the construction site with headaches and fever. Who was not holding on? Can the team leader open this head? He swallowed a handful of medicine, drank a large pot of boiling water, covered him with three quilts and coats to cover his sweat. After a night, he staggered up. Although his head was heavy and his feet were floating, he still went straight to the construction site.

There is a flight today. They must leave the venue half an hour before the plane takes off from Chengdu and clear the venue. The plane can only enter the venue half an hour after the plane takes off from Bonda. This delay is at least, in a week, 5 flights will be delayed, which is a huge matter! It is a matter of flights! It is finally taken down 62 cubic meters of earth and stone on October 15. At this time, Rao Fu suddenly collapsed on the ground and didn't even have the strength to stand up.

A month later, on the 88th, the Chinese army began to attack, and the Hump Route Horse... "Hump" became the lifeline for China's attack on India in the south. Since then, China has significantly strengthened the power of "Hump Air Transport". The first death order issued by the airlift commander Tie Can took office: "Flying over the Hump, there is no restriction."

From then on, no matter how bad the weather was, no matter how many British Spitfire aircraft took off from India intercepted, more than 5,000 large transport aircraft were all day and night:|+Saint route.

Britain began to point its finger at the "Camel Route". On June 13, 1917, the Operations Minister of the British General Staff Headquarters claimed: "If the air freight from (China) southwest to Tibet and India cannot be stopped, the Tibet region will soon become a large base for air strikes against Britain and India." Cutting off the "Camel Route" became the new combat target of the British army.

Since the Chinese army has occupied Myanmar's Mengxi, Leyun, Lashio, Ruichang, Mandalay, Ma, Donggua, Yangon and other airports, posed a certain threat to the British airports in India, the British could only go back and widen the distance from the "Camel Route" to 1540. At this distance, British bombers could not attack airports in Tingjiang and Kunming, and could only send Spitfire fighters to intercept the flying transport planes.

The Spitfire fighter is a world-famous fighter developed by the British Hugh Parmalin Company. The prototype uses a seagull wing with a wingspan of .9 meters and a length of 9.4. The open cockpit is equipped with a fairing, the wings and the nose are equipped with 47.7mm machine guns. The power unit is the 486-kilowatt "Gashawk" 2 engine of Rolls & Rolls. It is the main fighter aircraft in the UK.
