Join the top ace army at the beginning of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea

When Xu Damao saw He Daming who suddenly appeared here, his originally bitter face suddenly showed a little joy. He took the initiative to greet him.

"Uncle Daming..."

As soon as Xu Damao said this, He Daming's face changed drastically and he immediately started to yell at him.

"Xu Damao, who told you to call me that? This is the military, not your home. You should call me Chief! Do you hear me?"

Facing He Daming's rebuke, Xu Damao immediately changed his tone and said, "I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, Commander!"

In fact, He Daming said this for Jiang Guan and others to see. The rules cannot be broken, otherwise how will he rule in the future?

Then he went straight to the point.

"Da Mao, have you gotten used to the life in the military camp in the past two months?"

When Xu Damao heard He Daming take the initiative to care about his recent situation, he complained to him with tears and snot.

"Commander, I have failed the daily training every time in the past two months. I have to do extra training every day. I often can't get food. I always eat one meal and go hungry the next."

When He Daming heard the problem raised by Xu Damao, he did not take it to heart. This is also an unwritten rule in military training.

If you perform poorly in training, you will naturally have nothing to eat when you finish. Although the army has a rationing system, no one will leave food or vegetables for you if you arrive late. You are absolutely dreaming.

He Daming looked at Xu Damao, who looked a little thin, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He had advised him a long time ago, but this kid was stubborn and insisted on joining the army. He was just too idle.

"Da Mao, can you still hold on? If not, I will call your political commissar and send you back to your hometown."

When Xu Damao heard what He Daming said, he became anxious.

"Commander, since I, Xu Damao, have decided to join the army, I will persevere no matter how hard or tiring it is."

He Daming smiled faintly upon hearing this.

"That's what you said. Fine, I'll come back to see you in a few months. I don't want you to complain to me as soon as I see you."

After that, He Daming specifically instructed the 130th Division Commander Jiang Guan,

"Commander Jiang, please train Comrade Xu Damao more."

After taking care of Xu Damao's related matters, He Daming came to the Second Combined Brigade Command Post, where he met the Second Combined Brigade Commander Huang Fa and Political Commissar Lu Cheng.

Brigade Commander Huang Fa greeted He Daming's sudden visit with great enthusiasm.

"Deputy Commander He, why are you here?"

He Daming nodded.

"Brigade Commander Huang, you must immediately gather all your officers above the battalion level to this command post. I want to hold an emergency meeting."

After hearing He Daming's instructions, Huang Fa immediately sent someone to notify the battalions of the 2nd Combined Brigade.

Upon receiving the notification, the battalion commanders and battalion instructors of the eight battalions of the 8nd Combined Brigade all arrived at the scene.

When everyone arrived, He Daming, the highest commander in the command post, presided over the meeting.

He looked around and then slowly said, "Comrades, I believe everyone already knows that the 1st Combined Brigade has already entered the Mikema Red Line in Plateau Province as an advance force two months ago.

The purpose of convening this meeting with all the cadres of our Second Combined Brigade today is to tell you that our Second Combined Brigade will be ready to set off for Plateau Province in half a month to replace the First Combined Brigade guarding the McMahon Line.

The rotation period is three months, or one quarter.

Because the order given to our combined brigade by the military was not to take the initiative to provoke disputes or wars.

Therefore, I hope that everyone can maintain a certain level of rationality and ignore and tolerate the provocations of the Indian army.

In addition, given the difficult living conditions and high altitudes in the plateau provinces, I hope that when you live in the area, you will pay attention to altitude sickness, food safety and hygiene, and avoid drinking contaminated water."

He Daming paused for a moment, took a sip of water, and then continued the previous topic.

"Comrades, I know this mission is a test for everyone.

But in order to protect our Chinese territory, this little hardship is nothing. I hope that our Second Combined Brigade can do the same as the First Combined Brigade, guard the Tawang and Wanong areas, and don't lose face for our 54th Army.

Do you have any questions? "

When everyone heard what He Daming said, they shouted in unison: "No problem, Deputy Commander He, we will ensure that the mission is completed successfully."

He Daming was very satisfied after hearing the responses from the officers below.

"Okay, comrades, it's good to have confidence, the meeting is adjourned!"

........................

Time flies, and soon it was July 56. At this time, the planned economy was in its third stage and was officially launched across the country. All localities had to distribute goods according to demand and purchase them with tickets, such as grain tickets and meat tickets. You had to have tickets first before you could use money to buy the corresponding materials.

This is also an economic reform measure of New China, but it did not have much impact on senior military officers like He Daming.

He Yuzhu's family, who were far away in City 49, were even less affected. They lived in City 49 and had urban household registration.

At this time, the gap between urban household registration and rural household registration is still quite large, especially in big cities like the 49 cities, where the difference is even greater.

During this period, He Daming stayed at the 54th Army’s base in Shancheng, responsible for daily training and base-related construction, which lasted for seven months of land reclamation and expansion.

The wasteland around the 54th Army’s base has been almost reclaimed. In just this short period of time, a total of thousands of acres of farmland and wasteland have been reclaimed, and a large amount of rice and various fruits and vegetables have been planted.

They even introduced small fragrant pigs, wild rabbits, and some chickens, ducks and other poultry that are unique to Chongqing and Sichuan provinces from the local area for feeding.

Several fish ponds were opened near the base and some local edible fish were stocked in them.

It has achieved true self-sufficiency and greatly reduced the expenses of the 54th Army's weekly trips to the mountain city to purchase supplies. As for the money saved, it is temporarily kept on the military's books.

On this day, He Daming was working in his deputy commander's office.

Wang Bin, the communicator of the military command post, trotted to He Daming's office and knocked on the door.

"Dong...dong..."

"Which one?"

Xiang Bin: "Deputy Commander He, I am Xiang Bin, the military's communications officer."

He Daming: "Come in..."
