In the history of China, the story is like a legend. An ordinary farmer's child, he stepped into the military camp in 1958 and began his extraordinary military career. He is not a technical soldier, but he has made a name for himself in the company and has become the backbone of training. During his six years of training at the grassroots level, he has tempered his excellent military qualities through arduous training and actual combat.
In 1964, an all-army competition became a turning point in the fate of the world. His outstanding performance won the honor of first place in the Kunming Military Region's confrontation and assassination competition, but an accident in the same year made him almost lose everything. A detonator accident injured his right finger and almost ended his military career. In the face of such adversity, how can you regain your confidence and get back on your feet?
1. The starting point of tenacity: six years of grassroots experience.
In the winter of 1958, ** set the first step in his military career at the recruitment point in Sinan County, Guizhou. At that time, an ordinary peasant boy, with a longing for military life and love for the country, embarked on the road of becoming a soldier of the People's Liberation Army. ** Not a technical soldier, but with his excellent physical fitness and enthusiasm for military training, he quickly stood out in the company and became a training backbone.
In those days, the term of service in our army was generally three years, and the technical arms may be extended. However, the situation is slightly different. He was a non-technical soldier, but because of his outstanding performance and loyalty to the army, he was retained in the army for six years.
During these six years, the daily life of ** was full of hard training and unremitting learning. Every morning, when the first rays of sunlight shine through the barracks window, he has already started the day's training: long-distance running, push-ups, stretching ......Every training is strictly required, and every drill is striving for perfection. His figure often appeared at the front of the training ground, leading his comrades to practice the basic movements over and over again until everyone became proficient.
In the troops, ** is not only the leader of training, but also a role model in the hearts of comrades-in-arms. In his view, the mission of a soldier is to defend his family and country, and this requires extraordinary perseverance and tenacity. He often said to his comrades-in-arms: "In the army, we are iron-clad soldiers, and every drop of our sweat is to better protect our country and people." ”
In 1963, **'s efforts were finally recognized, and he was listed as a cadre training object. However, since his education was only at the elementary school level, this became a major obstacle in his path to promotion. During a cadre inspection, he was put on hold because of his academic qualifications. But *** did not get discouraged, but trained and studied harder, he knew that only by constantly improving himself could he win more opportunities.
In the daily life of the company, ** not only pays attention to military training, but also pays great attention to the life and emotions of comrades-in-arms. He often organizes his comrades-in-arms to discuss problems in training in the evening, share his experience, and encourage everyone to learn from each other and make progress together. Under his influence, the atmosphere of the entire company became more positive.
In this way, ** spent six years in the army, and his military qualities and leadership skills were significantly improved. Although the road to promotion was not smooth, these six years of grassroots training laid a solid foundation for his future military career. His story was also passed on by word of mouth among his comrades-in-arms and became a good story.
2. Flashes in adversity: excellent skills.
By 1964, ** had spent six years in the army. This year, he faced a major turning point in his life. The opportunity for the whole army to compete in arms was placed in front of him, which was not only a test of his personal military quality, but also a critical moment for him to change his fate.
In the process of preparing for this competition, ** showed extraordinary determination and perseverance. He understood that, despite his low level of education, he had an extraordinary talent for practical military skills. He began to train even harder, honing his skills in shooting, combat and tactical command from dawn to dusk.
The Kunming Military Region's confrontation and assassination contest was an extremely challenging one, which tested not only one's military skills, but also a test of the soldiers' psychological quality and adaptability. Knowing this, he repeatedly reviewed his training and tactical planning on the eve of the game, determined to perform at his best in the game.
On the day of the race, the performance of ** was impressive. He stood out from the crowd of contestants, not only showing excellent shooting skills, but also showing extraordinary wisdom and calmness in tactical applications. In the assassination confrontation, he skillfully used the terrain and concealment, accurately judged the opponent's course of action, and finally successfully defeated the opponent and won the first place in the competition.
This victory has added an important weight to the promotion of the first dry. His name began to spread among the troops, and many people were impressed by this unknown ordinary warrior. However, at this highlight moment, fate once again gave *** a blow.
On September 3, 1964, ** was on a mission to destroy an expired detonator, but unfortunately encountered an accident. In this accident, **'s right finger was injured, which seriously affected his combat effectiveness. This incident is a heavy blow to any soldier, and even more so to *** who is on his way to the pinnacle of his career.
During those days at the Injury Center, ** experienced the biggest setback of his life. For a time, he fell into despair, thinking that his military career might be over. But with the encouragement of friends and colleagues, he picked himself up again. He began training with his left hand, trying to adapt to the new way of fighting. In the process, he showed incredible perseverance and tenacity, not only remastering basic military skills, but also reaching a new level in left-handed use.
Just as he was about to complete his recovery training and prepare to return to the army, he learned that he might be discharged from the army due to injury and length of service. This news is undoubtedly another heavy blow to ***. He has worked hard in the army for so many years, and just when he sees hope, he may end his military career because of an accident.
During that time, ** faced great psychological pressure and uncertainty about the future. But he did not give up, but devoted himself more firmly to training, proving with his actions that he was still a good soldier even in the face of adversity.
3. Turning Point of Fate: The "Cadre Seedlings" Discovered by the Chief
On a cold morning at the end of 1964, ** stood in the barracks, full of anxiety and confusion. After suffering from a detonator accident and injury, he is about to be discharged from the army. This news is tantamount to a bolt from the blue for ***, and his military dream seems to be coming to an end.
However, at this critical moment, a chance chance changed his fate. The unit was inspected by a senior divisional officer. The chief had come to inspect the troops and assess the level of training of the soldiers. Although the heart is heavy, he still sticks to his post and goes all out to show his military skills.
In the course of the exercise, ** attracted the attention of the chief with his excellent performance. The chief was fascinated by his indomitable and indomitable spirit. After the chief inquired about the situation, he was full of praise for him, and praised him on the spot as a "cadre seedling", believing that he had the potential to become an excellent officer.
After this inspection, the chief deliberately stayed behind and had an in-depth conversation with ***. He encouraged *** and told him not to give up because of temporary difficulties, and to stick to his military dream. Deeply touched by the chief's words, his eyes flashed with a renewed light of hope.
The chief's words were like a light, illuminating the haze in ***'s heart. He realized that his military career was not over and that there was still a chance to move on. The chief's encouragement gave him a new impetus and he decided not to be defeated by setbacks, but to continue to work hard and prove his worth.
Soon after, the fate of ** took a huge turn. The chief's evaluation made him pay attention to his superiors, and he was not only canceled from the army, but also reincluded in the ranks of cadre training. This is undoubtedly a rebirth for ***.
In the following time, he trained even harder, not only to recover his injured right hand, but also to improve his military literacy and leadership skills. He knew that he had been given a rare opportunity, and he had to seize it, and he could not let the chief's expectations be disappointed.
In the process, ** also gradually showed his leadership skills. He was not only a skilled soldier, but also a leader who was deeply respected and loved by his comrades. His story became a great story among the troops and became a role model for many young soldiers.
This experience is not only a turning point in his personal military career, but also an important milestone in his life. He learned how to persevere and struggle in the face of adversity, and how to show his worth in the face of difficulties. All this laid a solid foundation for his future military career.
