在我们连，学唱《牧羊调·红军歌》是所有官兵的“必修课”。这首牧羊小调之所以会代代传唱，还要从90多年前说起—— 前面是大渡河天险，后面是十几万追兵。一条条大路尽数被封死，只有闯过彝区，才有一线生机。可彝民被军阀欺压了几十年，见着穿军装的就红了眼。连队前身部队作为先遣队，刚一进山，就被手持土枪棍棒的乡亲团团围住。干粮被抢，行囊被翻，走到额瓦垭口时，有的战士连衣服和工具都被抢了去。但大家手中的枪杆始终枪口朝下，没有一个人拉动枪栓。首长的命令早已刻进心里：“不准开枪，谁开就是违反纪律。”他们光着身子、红着眼眶撤了回来，怀里还紧紧护着卷成一团的宣传布告。正是这份宁肯委屈自己也不滋扰百姓的克制，打动了彝族首领小叶丹。很快，彝海边的结盟仪式上，咱们连战士站在岸边亲眼见证——鸡血滴入清澈的湖水，漾开绯红波纹。刘伯承与小叶丹举碗盟誓，结为兄弟。小叶丹派出最熟悉山路的向导，举着红旗走在最前面。先辈们把盐巴干粮塞到沿途的穷苦乡亲手里，卫生员蹲在路边的土坎，给患腿疾的老人敷药缠布，分文不取。等到主力部队开进彝区那天，沿途的乡亲全都从山里出来了——他们捧着自酿的白酒，揣着热乎的洋芋，热情地往将士们手里塞，嘴里一遍遍喊着：“红军瓦瓦苦！”“红军卡沙沙！”不少彝族小伙别上柴刀，当场就站进队伍里，跟着红军一路往北走。那条蜿蜒的山路上，牧羊小调的旋律未曾停歇。战士唱，老乡也唱，歌声伴着山风悠悠飘荡，飞过百里彝区。历经7天7夜，红军顺顺当当走出了深山。 90多年来，牧羊小调跟随连队走南闯北，唱响代代相传的鱼水深情。抗洪堤坝上有它，风雪哨位上有它，救灾的废墟旁也有它——哪里有百姓的期盼，哪里就有连队官兵的身影。岁月流转，旋律未变。我们会一直将这首小调传唱下去，永葆人民军队爱人民的滚烫初心，始终与人民血肉相连、生死相依。

Summary

Machine summary

A PLA company-level outlet recounts the 1935 Long March episode in which the unit's predecessor formation crossed Yi territory by maintaining strict fire discipline and building rapport with Yi chieftain Xiao Yedan at Yihai Lake — framing the story as the origin of the company's required song, 'Shepherd's Tune · Red Army Song.' The article is standard political work content: its value is as a record of how the institution uses historical civil-military narrative (鱼水深情, 'fish-and-water bond') to anchor loyalty and mass-line ideology in junior officers and soldiers, not as evidence of any operational or policy development. The closing invocation of 滚烫初心 ('burning founding aspiration') fits the ongoing institutional campaign to tie unit identity to Party founding mythology.
