Military discipline and unity are the cornerstone of stubborn resistance on the battlefield. But in the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, a young recruit named Zhang Dianwen did a troublesome thing that made people laugh and cry. In 1951, 15-year-old Zhang Dianwen volunteered to join the Volunteer Army, with his love for the motherland, he was eager to make great achievements on the battlefield. However, having been assigned to the artillery battery, he could not get his wish. Zhang Dianwen, who was eager to fight bravely on the battlefield, opened a cannon, which caused the anger of the company commander. The dissatisfaction and impulsive behavior in his heart are ridiculous, but in the face of this situation, the regimental command post made an unexpected decision to record this recruit for second-class merit, what is going on? Zhang Dianwen's inner contradictions and impulsive behavior are not without reason. As a young artilleryman, he aspired to be personally involved in the fight on the battlefield and make meritorious achievements. However, after being assigned to the artillery battery, his wish could not be fulfilled, and day after day he could only fiddle with the barrel of the cannon and could not personally engage the enemy. This contradiction and dissatisfaction eventually gave birth to his impulsive behavior. Faced with this incident, we can't help but think: what is the duty of a soldier? How should a young soldier deal with his inner grievances and impulses?
The responsibility of a soldier is not only to compete for meritorious service, but more importantly, to obey discipline, obey commands, and fulfill his duties in his post. Impulsive behavior may not only endanger oneself, but also affect the combat effectiveness and cohesion of the entire unit. In this story, although Zhang Dianwen's actions caused the anger of the company commander, the regimental command post made an unexpected decision to credit this recruit for second-class merit. There may be some deep considerations behind this. The culture of the military is to honor heroes and recognize meritorious deeds, but more importantly, soldiers need to know how to restrain their behavior, obey discipline, and stick to their posts. Although Zhang Dianwen's behavior violated military discipline, the regimental command post chose to replace punishment with rewards and punishment, perhaps out of understanding the dissatisfaction of the young soldier and his expectations for his future growth. In real life, many young people may have the same impulses and dissatisfaction as Zhang Dianwen. However, in the face of difficulties and unsatisfactory realities, we need to learn to adjust our emotions and deal with them wisely. Especially as a soldier, obedience to discipline and obedience to command is the basic criterion, and any impulsiveness and dissatisfaction need to be resolved on the track of reason and standardization. This story may be able to provoke us to think more: What are the duties and missions of soldiers?
As ordinary people, how can we understand and respect the duties and discipline of soldiers? How should we deal with our impulses and dissatisfaction in our daily lives? These questions may not only be about military personnel, but also about the growth and responsibility of each of us. May we all learn restraint and reason in the face of difficulties and adversity, and truly grow into people who stand up to the sky. When a recruit fired a cannon indiscriminately, the audience was stunned, but afterwards he was unexpectedly recorded by the regimental command post with a second-class merit, what is going on? We all know that undisciplined in the barracks is punished, so why did this Zhang Dianwen get a reward? The plot of the story is like this: Zhang Dianwen accidentally fired a cannon in the barracks, but accidentally hit the enemy's powder magazine, triggering a series of **, causing heavy losses to the enemy. Although his actions violated military discipline, in fact, one of his impulsive actions unexpectedly brought victory to our side. This is an unexpected ending, and it makes us think that sometimes our decisions and actions can have unexpected results. is like Zhang Dianwen, one of his random cannons turned out to be the hero of the whole battalion.
This is a special story that also brings us to reflection: in life, every choice we make can affect our own fate and the fate of others. Therefore, we need to know how to control our emotions and impulses and deal with every decision rationally. Perhaps, the next "Zhang Dianwen" is you and me. When faced with orders from our superiors, do we choose to obey or disobey? Zhang Dianwen's experience teaches us that as a warrior, it is crucial to obey orders. Even in the face of unfair treatment, we should learn to follow orders. Because only on the premise of obeying orders can the team be more united and the action more powerful. Obeying the command is not only for the individual, but also for the whole team and the completion of the mission. In the military, obedience to orders is a basic discipline requirement. When carrying out a mission, the orders given by the commander need to be carried out immediately, which is an important guarantee to ensure that the action is swift and orderly. And in everyday life, it is equally important to follow orders. It represents a sense of responsibility and organizational discipline that allows us to work better together in a team and accomplish tasks more efficiently. Of course, not all orders are correct, and not all superiors are perfect.
But obeying orders is not the same as blind obedience, but putting forward one's own opinions on the basis of obedience. In the army, a fighter can question erroneous orders through legitimate channels, and such behavior both respects orders and increases the accuracy of actions. A study by the U.S. Marine Corps found that when members of a team were able to follow orders, the team's execution efficiency was greatly improved. Because when everyone is able to execute orders on track, teams are better able to work together to get things done. And if someone chooses not to follow orders, the team's ability to execute will suffer, and even lead to the failure of the task. At work and in life, following orders can also lead to better relationships. When we are able to comply with the arrangements and requirements of our superiors, our colleagues and superiors will trust us more, and the cooperation between the team will be more harmonious. On the contrary, if orders are often disobeyed, it will give the impression of being irresponsible and unteamed, which is detrimental to both individual and team development. The story of Zhang Dianwen's experience not only happened in his military career, but also reflected a common phenomenon in social life.
At work, for ordinary employees, following orders is like completing the tasks assigned by the boss; For managers, following orders means communicating the right direction of management and leadership. In family life, children obey their parents' teachings, and mutual respect between husband and wife is also a manifestation of compliance. Of course, society also needs someone to challenge the status quo and pursue change. However, this does not mean that you can ignore the order, but that you should seek change through reasonable channels on the basis of obeying the order. After all, a united, disciplined collective is the one that can achieve more. Therefore, obedience is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of responsibility and discipline. It embodies the contribution of the individual to the whole, and it is also the strength of an organization. Only on the basis of following orders can we work better together, complete tasks more efficiently, and win the trust and respect of more people.
