Editor: Military vehicle license plate can intuitively and truly reflect the basic information of a unit and reflect the basic functions of the unit. This recollection story tells the development process of the 61st Detachment of the Infrastructure Engineering Corps's former military vehicle license plate change and number alignment with the entire army, and permeates the entire process of the 61st Detachment of the Infrastructure Engineering Corps' from being formed to being resolutely transferred to the First Corps of the Armed Police Hydropower Force. During this period, the number of military vehicle license plates changed continuously and the flashing footprints of the troops' movements between the north and the south witnessed the indomitable legendary stories of the 61st Detachment and the tragic and glorious history that inspires people. Let us feel the passion and shock brought to us by reading the memories of Liu Yu's comrades-in-arms!
So far, the military license plate number of the People's Liberation Army of China has gone through seven stages, with the first stage from 1951 to 1955 and the second stage from 1956 to 1984. Since the infrastructure engineering troop survived during this period, the military license plate numbers used by the infrastructure engineering troop should be frozen in the second stage without exception. In the nearly 100-year history of the People's Liberation Army of China, from its establishment in 1966 to its abolition in 1983, the infrastructure engineering army only had a short 17 spring and autumn. But the 500,000 iron-blooded men of the infrastructure engineering soldiers, with their magnificent youth and boiling blood, added a brilliant glory to the glorious history of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, like a meteor breaking through the dark sky, the infrastructure engineering soldiers are fleeting but brilliant.
On May 12, 2008, a strong earthquake shocked the world occurred in Wenchuan, Sichuan, and people's lives and property suffered major losses. The Yingxiuwan Hydropower Station, which stood above the surging Minjiang , was also seriously damaged. It was originally a small land in western Sichuan, but due to the 5.12 earthquake, made people familiar with the place names such as Wenchuan and Yingxiuwan. For the 61st Detachment, Yingxiuwan is so friendly and so proud of them. From 1966 to 2018, the 61st Detachment has experienced hardships and great achievements in the reincarnation of the sun and the moon and the stars have changed for more than 50 years. The Yingxiuwan Hydropower Station has become the debut of this hydropower iron army that has galloped across China and is terrifying.
1966, with the Sichuan Provincial Water and Power Bureau as the team, hundreds of officers and soldiers of the 7th Railway Soldier Division as the backbone, they were finally reorganized into the 61st Detachment of the Infrastructure Engineering Soldier. They were dressed casually and became a disciplined iron-blooded military overnight. The local license plate with yellow and black characters was immediately replaced by the military vehicle license plate with white and black characters.
uses a certain Chinese character in the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches as the beginning of the license plate to represent a certain military region or a certain military branch. Then a set of Arabic numerals represent the specific vehicle number. This is the distinctive feature of the second generation of military vehicle license plates. The third headquarters of the People's Liberation Army is "Chen", the Air Force is "Wu", the Beijing Military Region is "A", the Shenyang Military Region is "Ding", Lanzhou Military Region is "Xin", Xinjiang Military Region is "Geng", Kunming Military Region is "Chou", Wuhan Military Region is "Wu", Chengdu Military Region is "Zi", railway soldiers are "Hai", etc.
▲The 61 Detachment of the Infrastructure Engineering Corps was completed in 1972 by Yingxiuwan Hydropower Station
, during the construction of Yingxiuwan Hydropower Station, the large and medium-sized vehicles of the 61st Detachment were mainly Jiefang license plates, and imported vehicles such as "Berney", " Skoda ", " Taitula ". Jiefang brand became the first domestic car produced in New China. Jiefang car imitates the shape of the former Soviet Union Gith-150. Intuitively, the difference is almost the same, and the difference is in the nose of the car. The one with more horizontal and vertical lines is liberation, while the one with all vertical lines is Gith. Of course, the "liberation" or the symbol of Gith on the tip of the nose is even more obvious.
The commanders of the troops mostly rode jeeps, mainly the Soviet Union's Gas 69, and there are also many old American jeep . In addition, you can occasionally see the Soviet-made "Volga", Polish " Warsaw ", "Victory", etc.
Since the area where he was located was under the jurisdiction of the Chengdu Military Region, the military vehicle of the 61st Detachment was hung with the license plate of the Chengdu Military Region. It was initially "Zi1" and later changed to "Zi5" until the construction of the Yingxiuwan Hydropower Station was completed, and then it went to Gezhouba in Yichang, Hubei.After the troops entered Yichang, Hubei, the affiliation changed immediately. Detachment 61 was placed under the jurisdiction of the Wuhan Military Region from the Chengdu Military Region, and the military license plate number was also adjusted accordingly. The military license plate number of the 61st Detachment was changed from "Zi5" of the Chengdu Military Region to "E7" of the Wuhan Military Region. The local vehicles leading the "17" and the military vehicles led by the "E7" complement each other on the hot construction site. The 61st Detachment has been in Yichang, Hubei for only more than two years, so the military license plate number "Wu 7" has not been used for a long time.
The power of tigers and wolves who won the first battle with Yingxiu Bay, wanted to take advantage of the victory to create new glory, but unexpectedly, a serious quality accident such as "Honey's Neighbor" occurred during concrete pouring. A century-old plan, quality first. The Yangtze River dam cannot be missed at all, and Premier Zhou personally ordered it to be blown up. The 61st Detachment suffered a bad blow, and the shadow of failure enveloped the entire detachment.
does not explode in silence, it disappears in silence. The 61st Detachment lies on firewood and tastes gall, works hard to strengthen, regroup and make a comeback. Finally, welcoming the day when we head north and find another way. All the soldiers united against the enemy and fought back. After ten years of bloodshed, Steel carried the Panjiakou Reservoir Dam on both sides of their shoulders, and the project won the National Gold Medal. The sword was unsheathed, and the 61st Detachment broke through the siege and avenged his previous shame.
Panjiakou Reservoir is located in Qianxi County, Hebei Province, which is undoubtedly the jurisdiction of the Beijing Military Region. However, the military license plate number of the 61st Detachment no longer follows the rules. The reason is that the military license plate number of the infrastructure engineering corps has been exclusive to establish a self-owned portal. It is equivalent to the "Hai" of the railway troop, and the infrastructure engineering troop is the "Shen". The 61st Detachment has the brand name "Shen 1".
▲In construction Luan-to-Tianjin project
With the unique military license plate number, the army number of the infrastructure engineering corps is also in line with the entire army, and is marked with five Arabic numerals. The first two 0s represent infrastructure engineering soldiers, the last two digits represent detachment, if the last digit is 9, this is the number of the detachment. If it is another digit, it means the specific brigade. Taking 00619 as an example, 00 represents the infrastructure engineering corps, 61 represents the 61 Detachment, and 9 represents the number of the detachment. If it is 00611, you can tell at a glance that this is the first team of the 61st team. The unified norm for military license plates and military numbers also shows the fiery era of infrastructure engineering soldiers from another perspective. It was a coincidence that the Chengdu Military Region changed its "Zi 1" to "Zi 5", and the later military license plate number of the 61st Detachment was also changed from "Shen 1" to "Shen 5".
In terms of level, Detachment 61 is comparable to Gezhouba Engineering Bureau , but the personnel of Gezhouba Engineering Bureau are several times higher than Detachment 61. Due to the large family, large business and wide network of contacts, the supplies and equipment obtained by the Gezhouba Engineering Bureau are always quick and timely. "Taitula" and "Kras" are no longer a problem. "T20", " Komatsu ", and even 32 tons produced in Shanghai, these large dump loaders are available. The only medium-sized trucks with the license plate of "E-7" in the 61st Detachment is equipped with "Busiji" such as Romanian . Faced with such favorableness to the other, Political Commissar Yang of the 61st Detachment was very dissatisfied. The old Red Army fought hard at the office meeting, and a group of "T20" dump trucks finally equipped the 61st Detachment. The second company of the Fifth Regiment owns all the "T20" and the Beijing "370" that imitates the "T20". Because these vehicles are all yellow, everyone called the Second Company of the Fifth Regiment "Yellow Cars Second Company".
During the construction of Panjiakou Reservoir, Beijing Jeep was already the leader of the troops. Not only were the ranks of Beijing Jeep , but the two jeeps equipped in each brigade were also mainly Beijing Jeep. However, in addition to the number 09 of the detachment's small car lineup, the first and third teams also have a Gas 69, but the Gas 69 of the third team is the rear horizontal seat. There is also a unique No. 07 Jeep in the squadron. From the appearance, this Jeep is not much different from the Beijing Jeep, but this Jeep is a Wuhan Jeep. In addition, some Tianjin Jeep equipment troops have been successively launched. In terms of shape, the smaller Tianjin Jeep is more like an American Jeep than the Beijing Jeep.
repair and assembly area team was upgraded to repair and assembly factory, but the deputy regiment level still does not have small car configuration. It's nothing, it takes not much effort, and an elimination and scrapped American Jeep will rekindle. After 30 years of retreat, the American Jeep was the mount of the Kuomintang general. Take Chief Zhang and Chief of Staff in the movie " Battle of the South and the North" as an example. An old driver from the
61 detachment told such a story. An old driver drove a truck to Beijing to transport goods. On the way, he encountered a convoy participating in a military exercise in the Beijing Military Region. The exercise command took temporary control measures on the road surface. Except for vehicles in the Beijing Military Region, all other vehicles were prohibited from passing. The old driver was eager to go on a rush, so he quietly followed the exercise convoy. The soldiers on duty waved the red flag in their hands and stopped the veteran driver who was trying to get away with it. The sentry said seriously: "I thought it was A. After looking carefully, I realized that you are Shen. I'm sorry, you have made a comeback. Why, do you want to stretch out the head like your military license plate number?"
had no choice but to get out of the car and wait, and then started talking to the young sentry. The sentry said proudly: "Our Beijing Military Region is an ace military region, so our military license plate number is A. What does your Shen mean?" The old driver thought for a while and said: "I think your A is not as good as our Shen. Your head is pressed inside, and it is very aggrieved that we can't get out, but we can shake our heads casually outside, so comfortable." After that, the old driver jumped into the car and drove away with his head shaking.
▲(1) A is the Luan-diversion project to Tianjin, B is the Huang-diversion project to Shanxi,
(2) EFG is the South-to-North Water Diversion Project, which refers to the transfer of the rich water resources of the Yangtze River to my country through the water diversion project to the North China North China and Northwest region.
(3) The eastern line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is to take the Yangtze River water from the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou (city), along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, to reach Shandong and Tianjin. The middle line of the South-to-North Water Diversion Project is to divert water from Danjiangkou Reservoir , and excavate channels along the line, flow northward and arrive in Beijing. The Western Front Plan is to divert water from the upper reaches of the Yangtze River into the upper reaches of the Yellow River to solve the water shortage problem in the northwest region.
On May 11, 1982, a large-scale project that attracted worldwide attention broke ground, which is the Luan-Tianjin diversion project closely related to the 7.7 million Tianjin people. After more than a year of hard work, the project was successfully completed in 1983 and supplied water to Tianjin on September 11. The clear and sweet Luan River water is pouring into Tianjin continuously, and the era of drinking sour, smelly and bitter Haihe River water is about to go away. All kinds of teas in the shops on the market have been sold out, and people are looking forward to the happy moment of making fragrant tea in the clear spring. When the stream of clear water penetrated into the dry heart, many Tianjin citizens shed tears of excitement, and the deep gratitude to their loved ones, the People's Liberation Army was unspeakable.
The main forces participating in the construction of Luan-diversion project into Tianjin are three main troops, namely the 66th Army of the Beijing Military Region, the 8th Division of the Railway Corps, and the 61st Detachment of the Infrastructure Engineering Corps. The three army units belong to three different systems. Military vehicles marked by "A", "Hai" and "Shen" are constantly shuttled through the road, but the traffic is in a timely manner, and each of them shows their magical powers to complement each other.
Whether it is the war era filled with smoke or the peacetime when White dove flying, the railway soldiers who dare to fight and fight are always awe-inspiring, especially on the Korean battlefield, the bravery and tenacity of the railway soldiers are even more evident. Just like their fighting style, the railway soldiers' military vehicles have always been as fast as lightning. Whenever you encounter a military vehicle with the word "Hai", the fierce and fierce style of the car will always make you feel awe. Among them, the military vehicle with the "Hai 2" brand is the most famous. In the mouths of Sichuan people, "Hai" and "Hei" are somewhat homophones, and "Hai2" becomes the "Hai Er". When a "Hai 2" military vehicle is speeding past you, you will cover your nose and curse in the flying dust: "The black second's car is too cat kill!" (Cat kill is a Sichuan language, which probably means fierce and powerful.)
Infrastructure Engineering Soldiers and Railway Soldiers have a deep friendship like a blend of harmony. From a historical perspective, the railway soldiers are the big brothers, and the infrastructure engineering soldiers are the little brothers.In terms of military license plate numbers, the railway troopers and the infrastructure engineering troopers are brothers who are like brothers. Among the 12 earthly branches, "Shen" corresponds to monkey, and "Hai" refers to pig, and Monkey Brother and Bajie become unparalleled golden partners. How many unbearable hardships have they experienced together, and how many demons and monsters with green faces and fangs have been defeated together? The Monkey King and Marshal Tianpeng worked sincerely to jointly save the demons and escort the Tang Sanzang who obtained the scriptures in the West. After the completion of the Luan-Tianjin diversion project, the fate of the three troops was very different. The 66th Army strutted through the colorful gate, boarded the army and returned triumphantly. The Eighth Railway Soldier Division was on standby on site at Santunying , and the 61st Detachment of the Infrastructure Engineering Soldier was successively sent to Longlin, Guangxi. At this time, the million-dollar disarmament had begun, and the two armies were listed on the list of dismissals. They were the railway corps and infrastructure engineering corps.
Although it is still wrapped in green grass, the three dazzling red spots are gone. Only the word "Hai" on the car door is still vivid in my mind. It seems that I am still insisting on the last tenacity and reluctance. The 8th Railway Soldier Division turned the army to the people on the spot. Although the infrastructure engineering troop has been abolished, the fate of the 61st Detachment is uncertain. In 1984, the entire army implemented the third generation of military license plates, and the military license plates with the character "Shen" also completed their historical missions with the infrastructure engineering soldiers. Before 1985, when it was incorporated into the armed police sequence, the 61st Detachment used the third-generation military license plate number "A82". In 1985, the 61st Detachment was officially decoupled from the People's Liberation Army and was immediately converted into the People's Armed Police Force. The number of the troops was "The First Hydropower Corps of the People's Armed Police Force in China". The military license plate number of the Armed Police Force was also accompanied by the First Hydropower Corps of the Armed Police Force for more than 30 years.
"The snow falls down the gate in the evening, the wind rushes to the red flag and does not turn over. The wind turns around and you can't see you, and there are horses on the sky." After 52 years of traveling around the north, 52 years of fighting east and west, the surviving hydropower and Golden Force , the infrastructure engineering soldiers, finally completed their long military life, and became the eternal masterpiece of the infrastructure engineering soldiers' lingering sounds, and finally integrated into the peace and tranquility of the country and the people. The former military license plate number of the 61 Detachment witnessed the indomitable legendary experience of the 61 Detachment, and was in line with the glorious journey of the officers and soldiers of the 61 Detachment. The free and easy journey that is ahead of others and the tragic tragic that inspires people to move forward will surely become the brilliant and eternal brilliance engraved in their hearts.
