Autumn Twilight's night is unknown, and she pursues her old days into the barracks.
The silent years urge people to grow old, and there are feelings of poetry lyrical feelings.
The past has been looking back frequently, and the heart is full of piety.
Good flowers bloomed in the book army, and sang wine and song to Derong.
Three meals a day, a bed in the night, blessings to share, difficulties to share. The military career has forged the glorious tradition of mutual trust and mutual help among soldiers, and the life of the military has cultivated a deep friendship between comrades-in-arms who are immaculate and do not distinguish between each other.
Those who have served in the army always remember the glorious journey during their service, and they always remember the comrades who fought together for life.
Chinese the tortuous historical evolution of the artillery company of the 3rd Battalion of the 189th Infantry Regiment of the People's Liberation Army is a wonderful and beautiful poem, and the spirited military photos of the comrades serving in this company are a glorious picture.
The Three Artillery Company was subordinate to the Third Battalion of the 189th Regiment of the 63rd Division of the 21st Army, and its predecessor was the Three Machine Gun Company.
Tracing back to history, in 1953 the 21st Army participated in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and in 1958 it returned to China under the Beijing Military Region, the military headquarters was stationed in Datong, Shanxi, and the 189th Regiment was stationed in Linfen.
In 1967, when the Cultural Revolution entered its climax, the People's Liberation Army carried out the tasks of "three branches and two armies" of supporting the left, supporting the peasants, supporting the workers, supporting the military management, and military training. The 21st Army was transferred from the Beijing Military Region to the Lanzhou Military Region, the 189th Regiment was moved to Tianshui, Gansu, the three battalions were stationed in the north of Tianshui County, and the machine gun company managed the Tianshui Railway Station. At the same time, the leading bodies of the county party committee and the county government were organized to study the "Quotations of Chairman Mao", criticize and revise them privately, and transform their thinking.
From 1967 to 1969, he served in the company: Company Commander: Sun Yongming and Zeng Qingbing. Instructor: Rencai Zhu. Deputy Company Commander: Zeng Qingbing, Shan Songguan. Deputy Instructor: Cui Wenyuan. Platoon leader: Shan Songguan, Cui Wenyuan, Zhao Diandong, Miao Genxin, Meng Xianmin.
In 1969, Sino-Soviet relations broke down, the Soviet Union suppressed our troops, and the Treasure Island War broke out. At the same time, Sino-US hostile relations continue, and Sino-Indian friction continues.
In the face of the harsh international environment, Chairman Mao put forward the strategic guiding ideology of "digging deep holes, accumulating grain in large quantities, and not seeking hegemony." The whole people are soldiers, actively preparing for war, and fighting big battles on the basis of fighting big battles, winning wars, and defending Xinjiang and defending the country.
In the same year, the troops were expanded, and three platoons were separated from the machine gun company and independently formed into an artillery company.
At the end of the year, the troops moved to defense, departed from Tianshui, passed through Qingshui County and Zhangjiachuan Hui Autonomous County, crossed the Guanshan Mountains, and marched on foot to long county in Shaanxi.
LongXian is under the administration of Baoji City, Shaanxi, in the western part of the Guanzhong Plain, and adjacent to Qianyang, Chencang, Gansu Qingshui, Zhangjiachuan, Huating, Chongxin and Lingtai. In ancient times, it was called Longzhou, and was named because it was located in the east of Longshan. Han set up Longguan, known as "Qin Capital Hanguan".
Longxian County, which is bordered by Pingliang in the north, Baoji in the south, and Tianshui in the west, is a military strategic fortress and has always been a place where soldiers and families must fight.
After the transfer of defense, the military headquarters was stationed in Baoji.
The division headquarters is stationed in Pingliang
The regimental headquarters is stationed in Chengguan, Longxian County
The battalion headquarters was stationed in Gaoyuan, and the artillery company was stationed at Mafangpu.

Located 5 kilometers west of the county seat, Mafangpu has a long history and is a post on the ancient Silk Road. After the garrison, the company dispersed in the homes of peasant households, and integrated with the villagers to form a joint defense system of all soldiers and soldiers and civilian families.
The company is composed of ** personnel, and there are one, two and three platoons under it, reconnaissance squads, cooking squads, driver squads, and company headquarters.
Armament
82 mortars, 75 recoilless guns (1970-1971), 82 recoilless guns (after 1972), submachine guns, rifles, pistols (Type 54)
Transport: Mules and horses
Clothing: Plateau Cold Zone.
The most glorious period of a person's life is nothing more than the five stars above his head and the steel gun in his hand to stand guard for the country; the most intimate interpersonal relationship is the kind of common breathing between comrades-in-arms, sharing fate, sharing blessings, and sharing difficulties.
Although we spent a short few spring and autumn in the army, we were comrades-in-arms for a day, brothers for life, some long-lost faces often appeared in our minds, and some familiar voices were often heard in dreams.
Time flies, the years pass, half a century, at the snap of a finger. Looking at the handsome and mighty photos of the comrades-in-arms, the sense of intimacy is doubled, just like yesterday.
In 1970, after the transfer of defense was completed, a large number of new recruits were replenished, the organization was in place, the equipment was complete, and in accordance with the requirements of actual combat, the fine pipes were strictly grasped, and the comprehensive construction of the company was quickly launched.
Stand guard and put on the sentry
In 1970, in order to adapt to actual combat, the troops organized the implementation of camping exercises. In July, through Ankou, Huating and Jingyuan, we turned over the Crescent Mountain to reach the monk shop at the foot of Liupan Mountain. The three artillery companies were stationed at Sujiapu.
After being stationed, in light of the actual situation on the ground, actual combat training was immediately launched, and divisions, regiments, battalions, and companies were managed step by step, implemented at all levels, unified organization, and decentralized implementation. That month, the division conducted a week-long large-scale live-fire military exercise at Liupanshan.
In August, he returned to Long County.
In September 1970, the troops were stationed in Huayin Farm for construction.
Huayin Farm is located in The Weihe River Beach in Huayin, Shaanxi. In the 1960s, the state built the Sanmenxia Hydropower Station and built a dam at Tongguan to block the water. Later, due to the deterioration of Sino-Soviet relations, the Soviet Union withdrew experts, the project was ruined, and the reservoir dried up.
In the 1970s, the Lanzhou Military Region organized troops to cultivate land in the reservoir area to fill the military supplies.
The Three Artillery Company was stationed in the reservoir area with the whole battalion, responsible for building houses, planting vegetables and crops, and blocking the embankment of the Changjian River.
In early 1972, the troops returned to Longxian County, built brick hoop caves in two ravines in Gaoyuan, and then moved away from the peasant households and moved into new barracks.
In early 1975, the troops were downsized and two companies of machine guns were merged.
The Three Artillery Company was established independently at the end of 1969 and withdrawn in early 1975, which lasted more than five years. Comrades-in-arms were from Beijing, Tianjin, Shaanxi, Gansu, Hubei, Jiangsu, Shandong, Shanxi, Anhui, Henan, Sichuan and other provinces and cities, and the enlistment period was from 1961 to 1975.
Barracks are a melting pot for training talents, and companies are schools for soldiers to grow. Wind and rain are in the same boat, the hearts are imprinted, regardless of each other, the relationship between brothers and sisters will forever connect everyone's hearts together.
In March 1975, the machine gun company was stationed in Chang'an County, Shaanxi Province, along with three battalions, to participate in the expansion of the Chang'an Infantry School.
Company Commanders: Zhao Diandong, Hao Mingcan. Instructors: Zhang Jingming, Wu Guanghua, Xu Yingdao. Deputy Company Commanders: Gong Mingzhe, Li Liangzheng, Ren Anyi. Deputy Instructors: Ma Yushan, Zheng Qide, Wang Zhihong. Platoon leader: Xiong Zhinian, Gou Shike, Xing Pihong, Wang Heqing, Tan Changwei. Secretary-General: Guo Pingshan, Mou Changming.
The Chang'an Infantry School, formerly known as the first infantry school of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, was relocated from Tianshui, Gansu to Wangqu Town, Chang'an in 1974, and renamed the Lanzhou Military Region Military and Political Cadre School.
The cannon company is stationed in Shuizhai Village, responsible for cement prefabrication and floor slab laying.
In 1976, he returned to Longxian County, selected three places in Chengguan, Beipo and Dongfeng, and adopted brick-concrete structures for the regimental headquarters, and the rest were brick-and-wood structures, and were fully put into the construction of new barracks for the troops. The entire infrastructure construction process is all self-repaired and self-built by the troops.

The sacred spring burns ash
Badu logging
A thousand rivers of sand
In 1977, the company went to Pingliang to participate in the construction of barracks at the division headquarters. Folding steel bars, and cement, moving bricks, laying floor slabs. The summer sun is scorching, sweat is pouring, the winter is dry, and the cold wind is biting. On sunny days, he was covered in ash, and on rainy days, his feet were muddy, his fingers were scarred, and his paws were calloused.
The warriors obeyed the command, endured hardships and stood hard work, and carried forward the fearless spirit of arduous struggle.
In 1978, the company went to Huating Coal Mine for construction.
The Huating Coal Mine is a military mine of the 63rd Division, which roasts fires for the troops and cooks and mines coal. The coal mine belongs to the Ankou coal belt, which is more than 40 meters thick, shallow off the surface of the ground, and is mined in the open pit.
Due to the lack of machinery and equipment, it mainly relies on human production. The warriors worked for a day, their faces were as black as charcoal, and they saw their eyes turning, making it difficult to identify their faces.
In March 1979, the Sino-Vietnamese border conflict continued, the troops were expanded, and the machine guns were once again separated.
The two companies of machine guns were moved back to Longxian from Huating and lived in newly built barracks on the north slope. After many years of construction, military training, political education, work style training, and discipline rectification have been carried out in an all-round way, so as to enhance the quality of soldiers and enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops.
The picture shows the north slope barracks taken in 1992.
In the spring of 1983, the two companies of the downsized machine guns of the troops were merged again.
In October 1985, the machine gun company was reorganized into the Ninth Company of the Third Battalion of the Third Garrison Regiment of the Lanzhou Military Region, and moved to the Shiqishan Carbon Well in Ningxia.
At this point, all the cadres and soldiers who served in the artillery company of the three battalions of the 189th Regiment were all transferred, transferred, demobilized, dispersed to the north of Shannanhai, and embarked on new jobs.
The military career is the glory of the life of a soldier, the life of the army is the eternal remembrance of the veterans, the feeling of comrade-in-arms is a bond that is difficult to give up, and the reunion again is the greatest blessing in life.
One day, one life brother, the heavens are long, my heart is eternal.
