Why is the railway not afraid of being destroyed in the war?

In the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, China Railway Corps sacrificed 148 1 person and injured 2986 people, and built an unbreakable and continuous steel transportation line with blood and life.

195 1 August, 2000 to1June, 952, the United Nations forces led by the United States carried out large-scale continuous bombing of the railway north of the 38th parallel, trying to cut off the supply of frontline volunteers and forcing them to accept unreasonable demands in the armistice negotiations.

Using roads to transport materials to front-line soldiers, drivers lack the experience of turning off the lights at night, and it is in severe winter, with deep snow and slippery roads, and the road conditions are extremely poor. The transportation efficiency is extremely low, and the loss of vehicles is also great. In the first seven and a half months of fighting, the volunteers lost more than 3,000 vehicles (an average of more than 400 vehicles per month), and a large amount of combat materials were accumulated in the area north of the Yalu River.

The lack of logistics supply also affected the volunteers' greater victory to some extent.

Therefore, the logistics department of the Volunteers put forward the plan of "building a steel transportation line that can't be broken without breaking down" to manage the railway transportation and the emergency repair and maintenance tasks of the railway lines in North Korea in a unified way. The transportation capacity has doubled.

Relying on the air superiority, the Americans set the railway line as the main bombing target, and imposed a comprehensive bombing blockade on the cross-transportation lines of the volunteers, mainly bombing the railway subgrade section by section and repeatedly bombing the railway bridge to prevent the volunteers from repairing.

This is also the famous "strangulation war" in the Korean War. In Sinuiju area, there can be 6 bombshells on the 1 km railway.

American planes are numerous and arrogant. There is a joke that two railway soldiers shot down an American bomber with a railroad track.

At first, a 500-pound bomb blew a deep hole, and it took a company of soldiers one night to fill it. Later, Qi Xin, a soldier, worked together to invent the scaffolding method, which greatly improved the pit filling speed. Enough to balance a big pit for more than two hours.

In order to ensure the normal operation of railway transportation, the volunteers have equipped a large number of anti-aircraft artillery units along the railway. The speed of railway soldiers repairing traffic lines has also been greatly improved. Basically, it can reach the amazing record that it can be guaranteed to open to traffic within 6 hours after the bombing.

There was a railway soldier named Li Yunlong, who left a deep impression on people. When the Qingchuan River Bridge was built, Americans bombed the railway and used a lot of time bombs. Dust and dirt produced when other bombs explode will cover up time bombs.

When the railway soldiers came to repair, the time bomb suddenly exploded, causing great harm to the railway soldiers.

Li Yunlong was ingenious. He dismantled a 500-pound time bomb with a hammer and wrench. The time detonator of the bomb began to turn wildly. Li Yunlong put his arm into the bomb, blocked the start of the detonator, and then carefully took out the detonator. The threat of the time bomb was lifted. This also means that volunteers have found an effective way to deal with time bombs.

Li Yunlong is just an ordinary member of tens of millions of railway soldiers. He is remembered only because his name is the same as that of a hero on the screen.
