As the Spring Festival approaches, people are embarking on their journeys home. However, the officers and men of a certain unit of a certain unit of the Rocket Force left the camp at night and "retrograde" toward the deep mountains to carry out the task of combat readiness duty.
The next day, when the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into this nameless mountain pass, detachment leader Zhang Ming appeared in the open space in the "Underground Dragon Palace" in full gear, and he was about to lead the detachment to carry out the first training after combat readiness duty.
Suddenly, the alarm sounded in the cave, and the officers and soldiers quickly picked up their equipment and went straight to the battle position. Everyone moved quickly, but Zhang Ming was not satisfied, holding a stopwatch in one hand and a microphone in the other, he yelled: "It stands to reason that it can be faster for another 5 seconds, where is the crux?" ”
The roar of the chariot drowned out Zhang Ming's voice, and the movements of the officers and soldiers on the battle position were ...... fasterThis was an early morning on combat readiness duty during the Spring Festival, and it was also a microcosm of the missile detachment's preparations for war.
Not long ago, the detachment was commended by the Military Commission as an advanced unit for military training in the whole army. While the officers and men were jubilant, they also felt a heavy responsibility on their shoulders: "We must always tighten the clockwork of preparing for war, and use thicker sword rings to write the loyal answer sheet of the 'great country swordsman.'" ”
The three absolutes are the winning 'trump card' of the detachment."
The missile depot was relatively airtight, and although the exhaust was well-equipped, as soon as the combat vehicle was started, the green smoke was accompanied by the smell of diesel, which choked people's noses and tears for a while.
Once you get used to it, you don't feel it. Zhang Ming said that in this taste, there is knowing that the environment is very bad, and the worse it is, the more tenacious it is; There is a bloody nature that knows that training is challenging, and the more challenges you take, the more you move forward; There is loyalty that knows that there are difficulties and dangers in winning battles, and the more difficult and dangerous they are, the more they move forward.
The officers and men were not affected by the pungent smell in the slightest, and the training was intense and orderly. Next to a chariot, Sergeant Major Shen Leiyun and a young soldier were prostrate on the ground, communicating with a chassis equipment.
Squad leader, why are you lying on the ground, don't you have an overhaul mat? Someone asked, gesturing. Shen Leiyun smiled, "It doesn't matter, let's not talk about the conditions in the training ground." ”
Not to mention the conditions" there is a need for training, which is also a portrayal of their loyalty to sharpen their swords. Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the detachment has undergone two equipment changes and upgrades, and two diversion and reorganization, and all officers and men have unswervingly followed the party, doing whatever the party tells them to do, and never talking about conditions. Three years ago, the detachment was reorganized, and Shen Leiyun needed to change the number. Not only will he have to start his profession from scratch, but the job allowance will also be abolished. The company solicited opinions, and he immediately stated, "We are old party members, and we must obey unconditionally." ”
The training was carried out in a tense and orderly manner, and walking through the cave, you can see that most of the detachments are young faces.
Zhang Ming raised his arm and stretched out a finger to introduce, "A company." A few years ago, the army was reformed, and a company was taken away from the whole organization. He said that there are many difficulties for everyone, some of the family members of the non-commissioned officers have just joined the army, some young officers and soldiers have just found a girlfriend in the station, and some trumpeters have just been promoted to the professional rank of the original number ......Almost all of them stood at the crossroads of choice.
No conditions! Zhang Ming recalled that at the detachment's military meeting, the officers and soldiers answered in unison, and it is still exciting to recall it to this day. "In addition to that reform, in recent years, dozens of people in the detachment have either adjusted their posts or been selected and transferred from other places, and they have done whatever they have organized and arranged, and the officers and men have always packed up their backpacks and set off. ”
Also impressive is First Class Sergeant Yuan Peng. Three years ago, the cooking squad of the detachment was weak, and he resolutely obeyed the organizational arrangement, left the main operation position, and became a cook. After working for more than one year, a certain launch frame of a former detachment of a major task was short of personnel for some reason, and he was appointed again to become the backup commander of the launch frame.
Absolute loyalty, absolute purity, and absolute reliability are the winning 'trump card' of the detachment. Zhang Ming said that in recent years, the officers and men of the detachment have driven new combat vehicles, participated in military parades twice, and carried out the Spring Festival combat readiness duty task for three consecutive years. In a recent exercise, officers and men successfully "fired" several missiles in succession, engraved their absolute loyalty on the ballistic galaxy of strengthening and rejuvenating the army.
The pursuit of perfection is an important growth point in the combat effectiveness of the detachment."
There were no days off for combat readiness duty, and continuous high-intensity training began from morning to night, week after week, but the officers and men of the detachment were not satisfied.
Taking the initiative to face difficulties and pursuing perfection is an important growth point for the combat effectiveness of the detachment. Zhang Ming said that during the combat readiness duty, they shouted the slogan of "anchoring the first-class goal and concentrating on the second entrepreneurship", and used platforms such as the seminar and exchange meeting on tactics, mass training and competition, and real military drills to continue to challenge the limit and solve the problem of winning the war.
One day during the interview, in the cave warehouse, countless combat vehicles lined up with their heads held high, and the officers and men of the launchers lined up neatly, waiting for the assessment of the draw. What no one expected was that most of the team selected points were substitute trumpeters, and 40% of the exam questions were dangerous and difficult subjects.
Can you control the country's heavy weapon, and use substitutes? In the face of some people's questions, Zhang Ming replied: "If you do not take refuge in war preparation, it will not be difficult to fight a war." It can be seen at the assessment site that there are cameras set up everywhere around, ** Sergeant Major Wu Xiaoxian said that the whole process will be recorded from multiple angles, and the changes in breathing and mood will be used as one of the "deduction items" in the assessment.
Stability is one of the essential traits of a 'great power swordsman'. Wu Xiaoxian said that he had been planted because of "instability".
Communications are interrupted, simulating that enemy aircraft will be in the air at the time of the launch window. "In an assessment, a tricky question made Wu Xiaoxian a little nervous. hit, the launcher could be destroyed; Withdrawal, unable to complete the task also failed. The camera recorded his nervous performance on his forehead, and he failed the assessment, but he saw the shortcomings clearly and accumulated valuable experience in commanding the launcher to carry out dangerous tasks.
The detachment has a good tradition: the trumpeter is required to record the experience or lessons learned in these daily assessments one by one, summarize them in a timely manner, and form a "winning account". Over a long period of time, a notebook full of formulas and data has become an important learning material for them.
Bi Qionghao, commander of a certain launch rack and second-class sergeant, is impressive. Bi Qionghao is an "all-rounder" who can drive the launch vehicle and be competent in all positions. One winter, he went to the cold area of minus 30 degrees Celsius for the first time with the team for training. In a field tactics course that lasted more than five hours at a time, due to his lack of experience, he picked up the iron whistle hanging on his chest and stuffed it into his mouth. Unexpectedly, before the whistle sounded, the iron sheet and lips froze together, and a large piece of flesh fell off, which he called "a lesson in blood".
"There is a reflection on the loss and a summary of experience. Once, Bi Qionghao participated in the assessment of his superiors, and the examiner asked 11 tricky questions in a row, and he answered them fluently. On another occasion, the detachment participated in an actual combat exercise, and he and his comrades-in-arms relied on these reference experience materials to overcome obstacles and successfully "launch" several missiles in succession against the background of actual combat.
The combat readiness duty continued, and Zhang Ming planned what was generally considered to be the "most difficult and extreme subject" -- the training of "three resistances and one down".
The so-called "three antibodies and one inversion" refers to anti-hypoxia, anti-hunger, anti-fatigue and jet lag training. In many cases, detachments organize these subjects in tandem. "For a certain period of time, officers and men do not sleep without rest, and they also have to carry out high-intensity training in a state of whole-body protection, and everyone is subjected to extreme physical and mental tests. Zhang Ming said.
Train in the way you fight, fight in the way you train. In the eyes of the officers and men of the detachment, this is actual combat training. It is precisely this kind of training that has enabled more than eighty percent of the detachment's fixed-post trumpeters to have a multi-functional level, and they have won the championship in the professional and technical assessment of their superiors for two consecutive years, and the live ammunition has been launched with complete success every time.
The understanding of officers and men is an important guarantee for the continuous improvement of the combat effectiveness of the detachment."
The Chinese New Year is approaching, some people are planning their holiday arrangements, and some people have already embarked on the journey back to their hometowns and are about to reunite with their loved ones. However, the combat readiness training of officers and men of a certain unit of a certain unit of the Rocket Force is in full swing, and they cannot use mobile phones, let alone the Internet, and they do not even have too many recreational activities; they are faced with high-intensity training operations every day, and the officers and men are isolated from the rest of the world, waiting for them to lie dormant in the depths of the mountains.
Corporal Lin Jiahui is the youngest trumpeter of the detachment, and once held a number of training records of the detachment, and the progress was very fast. He said that his New Year's resolution was "many". "For a long time, my ideal is to take root and grow up on the missile position and make contributions. He stressed.
Lin Jiahui has only been in the army for three years, but he is very sober: "Being able to endure loneliness is one of the necessary qualities of being a missile trumpeter, and 'jumping out of the comfort zone' is a necessary spiritual character for making meritorious contributions to the military camp." ”
Part of this realization came from the influence of company commander Choi Zhongyi.
Cui Zhongyi used to be a top student, and when he was admitted as a graduate student at a local university, he gave up his studies and firmly chose to dedicate himself to the missile career. It is worth mentioning that after growing into an excellent political instructor and obtaining the second-level excellent political instructor, he launched a new challenge to the post of company commander.
In fact, there are many examples of instructors being transferred to company commanders, but there are not many in the launch company of the Rocket Army. Cui Zhongyi said: To become a qualified commander of a launch company, it is necessary to learn the specialized theories of missiles and strengthen command and operation skills. But no matter how difficult it was, he worked hard to do it, and became the commander of the first stage launcher. His behavior of taking the initiative to "jump out of his comfort zone" has even more affected the understanding of the officers and men of the detachment on dedicating themselves to the missile cause.
The understanding of officers and men is an important guarantee for the continuous improvement of the combat effectiveness of the detachment."Xie Gengxin, the instructor of the detachment, said that this sounds false, but everyone has done it.
Another early morning, the sirens sounded again. The officers and men acted according to the plan, but the detachment was slow to issue the drill items. It turned out that this time they only organized a combat readiness pull, and a unique combat readiness class was about to be launched.
If we succeed in defeating the enemy, how much impact will it have on the tide of the battle? Xie Gengxin led the officers and men to the "Military Situation Observation Room," which was also one of the training grounds for the detachment during its combat readiness duty, and he held the whip and pointed to the targets on the map, directing the thoughts of the officers and men to the enemy formation thousands of miles away.
Xie Gengxin believes that keeping abreast of the latest international developments in a timely manner will enable officers and men to stand under the launch frame, look at the world's military pattern, feel the turbulent international situation, and gain a deeper understanding of the mission and responsibility on their shoulders.
In the "Military Intelligence Observation Room," the officers and men also integrated the principles and procedures of the missile and the launch process, and replaced the actual installation through the schematic diagram, cable connection diagram, and signal flow diagram, so as to integrate the professional principle with the operational combat position, and realize the deduction of "launching on the map" without moving the actual installation.
After the combat readiness class, the detachment again organized pulling training. This time was shortened by 11 seconds, which is a new record. Xie Gengxin pinched the stopwatch and smiled rarely.
The dormant mountains are silent, and the pillow is intimidating the enemy; Changying's hand is clenched, and the iron fist shakes the mountains and rivers. I don't know who made up for the detachment's combat readiness duty this time, and it was passed on and talked about by the officers and men. At night, the mountains are towering, and the echo of "the trumpeter is in place" is still in the ears, as if the goal of strengthening the army is calling, and people can't help but sigh that this hot training scene is not a vivid silhouette of the glory of the rocket army's sword.
