"I volunteer to join the CPC, support the party's program, and abide by the party's constitution..." In midsummer, on the shore of the Yellow Sea, a swearing in ceremony for joining the party of the "Tianjiahui Heroes Company" of a brigade of the 71st Group Army was held solemnly, and the new party members' forceful vows echoed between the sea and the sky. Party members carry the red flag, only then can everyone be a sharp knife! ”At the end of the ceremony, in the subsequent "Beacon Lecture Hall", the political instructor of the company, Zhang Pengcheng, led the officers and soldiers to review the history of the company. The company was formed in the midst of war and smoke, and has gone through more than 100 battles and battles, including the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, the Korean War, and the Vietnam Self Defense Counterattack. In the baptism of blood and fire and the test of life and death time after time, it is the generations of officers and soldiers who inherit the fine traditions, and everyone cries out "see me in the battle", charge forward "follow me", using concrete actions to stand as a banner and set an example, in order to continuously overcome difficulties and achieve victory. The pointer of the time when the beacon sharpened the heroic spirit was set back to October 1937. The company was formed in Taiyuan, Shanxi and made its first battle against Jiuliwan on February 22 of the following year. During the battle, more than 6000 soldiers from the Japanese 109th Division, Taniguchi Shigeru Brigade, and other units, armed with mountain artillery and mortars, invaded the north along the Fenli Highway under the cover of airplanes. They launched several rounds of fierce attacks under the cover of dense artillery fire, but were all stubbornly repelled by the company's officers and soldiers, and did not make any further advances within 6 hours. In this battle, the company killed or injured more than 100 enemies and restrained the attack of one division. In May 1942, during the seven day and night battle of the Tian Family Association, the company once again demonstrated its brave and tenacious fighting style. The surrounded Japanese army, relying on their equipment advantage, organized multiple strong attacks in an attempt to break through and break through. Faced with the desperate enemy, the Party member assault team led by the company commander fearlessly advanced through the loud sound of charge signals, leading all the officers and soldiers of the company to fight against the enemy repeatedly with the courage to face death, braving the rain of bullets, and ultimately annihilating a part of the enemy army. After the war, the company was awarded the honorary title of "Tianjiahui Hero Company" by the Jin Sui Military Region for its bravery and outstanding performance in the battle of Tianjiahui, and for "achieving greater victories with smaller sacrifices". In 2015, at the military parade commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti Fascist War, the flag of the "Tianjiahui Heroes Company" passed through Tiananmen Square with the anti Japanese parade model team, and accepted the review of the motherland and the people with honor. After the military parade, the red flag fluttered loudly with military songs, the people's army remained loyal to the party, the war beacon helped to grow, and the Tian family's military prestige was renowned... "With the resounding chorus, the company held a grand ceremony to return the war flag. On site, the officers and soldiers lined up neatly, welcoming the return of the battle flag with the most resolute eyes and the highest military salute. A flag is a spirit. From the era of revolutionary war to the period of peaceful construction, generations of officers and soldiers have always imprinted the spirit of "iron core to the party, born for war, willing to die and unyielding, and determined to win" in their hearts and bones. They are not afraid of strong enemies and dare to fight and fight. A large number of heroic models have emerged successively, such as "sharpshooter" Sha Zhenjiang, "combat hero" Chang Xuguan, and "model hero of tackling difficulties" Li Feihu. In the new era, inspired by the spirit of combat, the officers and soldiers of the company continue to closely surround the party branch. Party members take the lead and charge forward, and everyone follows and strives to be the first, constantly creating new achievements and writing new glory on the new journey. In last year's live fire exercise organized by superiors, the company was responsible for the main attack task of its battalion. In the mobilization of the oath of allegiance, instructor Zhang Pengcheng once again recounted the glorious history of the war behind this flag, inspiring and leading all the officers and soldiers of the company with honor. No matter how difficult the task is or how harsh the conditions are, we must make the flag fly high on the front line. During the exercise, facing unfamiliar territory and complex "enemy situations", the officers and soldiers of the entire company were full of fighting spirit and closely cooperated, capturing multiple deep positions of the "enemy" in one fell swoop and successfully completing the tasks assigned by the superiors. To this day, the honor flag that embodies the soul and roots of this heroic unit has long become a spiritual totem for officers and soldiers, guiding them to continue their struggle and move forward courageously on the great journey of building a strong army. In recent years, the company has completed more than 10 major tasks such as major exercises and non war military operations, and has been repeatedly awarded the titles of "Advanced Company for Grassroots Construction" and "Advanced Company for the" Four Railways "by superiors. The company's party branch has been commended as an" Advanced Grassroots Party Organization ". Preparing for transformation and becoming a pioneer, starting from scratch! Almost everyone needs to switch jobs or majors! ”In the tide of reform in 2017, the company moved from the central plains of Henan to the land of northern Jiangsu, taking action at the command and launching a pace of reform, reshaping, and innovative transformation. The increase in the number of personnel, equipment updates and iterations, and differences in tactical command... Faced with the new situation, new organization, and new tasks that bring about changes in combat mode and training methods, the officers and soldiers of this heroic company were also caught off guard for a while. Back then, our ancestors faced fierce attacks and continuous victories from the Japanese army. Today, we must also show this kind of enthusiasm to overcome difficulties and become pioneers of transformation! ”On the day of arriving at the new barracks, all the officers and soldiers of the company gathered under the banner of the war to revisit the glorious deeds of their predecessors and appreciate the enduring spirit of tackling difficulties. In the following days, the backbone cadres of the entire company established a research group to tackle training difficulties one by one. The branch committee was responsible for each specialty, and party members were all immersed in the training ground, studying new equipment and tactics. Under the collective efforts of everyone, in less than five months, the company successively completed key and difficult courses such as coach shooting and combat shooting, and fired the first shot after the transformation of the company... However, the officers and soldiers of the company did not become arrogant and complacent, but followed in the footsteps of their heroic predecessors, carried forward the tenacious style of continuous combat, took the initiative, relied on others, and focused their energy on accelerating the formation of combat effectiveness. At that time, the platoon leader Yin Hui led the vehicle commander Li Yang and other party members to fully play the role of pioneers and models, taking the lead in deep theoretical research, practicing skills, and exploring a set of action essentials for close coordination and rapid shooting between people and vehicles. They completed the first training demonstration tasks of multiple live fire shooting courses and achieved excellent results in a comprehensive exercise that spanned day and night that year. The road to transformation is not always smooth sailing. During a drill, the platoon driver, Dang Chao, who was driving a tank to assemble at the battlefield, was ruled "dead" by the commander. For a while, no one could drive the tank. Helpless, the commander and gunner had to abandon the tank and rush to the battlefield on foot. The result can be imagined... "If we were on the battlefield, how would we continue to fight? ”At the reflection and review meeting, the words of the platoon leader sparked deep reflection: only by cultivating versatile talents with multiple abilities can we fight to the end on the battlefield. To this end, on the one hand, the company vigorously focuses on professional training and guides officers and soldiers to strengthen their "core skills" through specialized training; On the other hand, breaking down professional boundaries and encouraging top professionals to dare to "cross boundaries" and master multiple skills. A tank has three crew members, with two remaining to complete the shooting and one remaining to maintain mobility. ”Nowadays, almost everyone in the platoon has mastered two or more skills, and a large number of "versatile" individuals have emerged who specialize in multiple areas and are proficient in multiple positions. Not only that, the company also regularly carried out the "military academy". Through the backbone of cadres coming to the stage to talk about war cases and research methods, it built a platform for officers and soldiers to learn cutting-edge military theories and study hot combat issues, and set off a "brainstorming" of war planning and research. "Unmanned and intelligent weapons have shown their skills in the modern battlefield, but we have not fully understood the use of unmanned equipment..." After the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the use of unmanned forces made Xu Junjie, the then company commander, realize that there is no way out for old guard and innovation has a future. To this end, he established an "unmanned combat team" in the company, exploring from scratch and constantly accumulating experience. In recent years, the battalion has received multiple "manned+unmanned" research tasks. At this time, even the party branch takes the initiative to volunteer and strive for tasks. Due to their early exploration, they have cultivated a group of excellent backbone personnel who are capable of practical operation, understand principles, and can teach, laying a solid foundation for the successful completion of tasks by the camp. The more the descendants of the red bravely strive for the red memory, the more they can understand the hard won victory; The deeper the study of history, the more it can inspire the high fighting spirit of striving for a strong army. Although the company has undergone multiple adjustments and reorganizations, it has always regarded the glorious tradition of playing the exemplary role of party members as a "family heirloom" for forging the soul and educating people. It vigorously carries out the "Three Talks, Three Brightnesses, and Three Comparisons" activities, allowing the vast number of officers and soldiers to learn from each other and bravely shoulder heavy responsibilities through ideological inspiration and action guidance. The "Three Lectures, Three Brightnesses, and Three Comparisons" refer to the teaching of "Company History, Tradition, and Heroes" in the classroom, guiding officers and soldiers to continue their fine traditions and strive to become successors of heroes; When the task comes, we should "show our identity, responsibilities, and determination", and use the example of Party members to drive officers and soldiers to work together and firmly follow; In job training, we compare motivation, quality, and contribution to motivate officers and soldiers to contribute to the construction of the unit. Last year, the company undertook a special task from the higher authorities. Faced with the reality of tight time, heavy tasks, and high standards, all officers and soldiers of the company, under the strong leadership of the party branch, fully carried forward the fighting spirit of the company, fearlessly faced challenges, overcame difficulties, and focused on practical combat to train their winning skills. Eventually, they completed the task with high standards and received high praise from all levels. On this basis, in order to further inherit and carry forward the glorious tradition of the company, and truly forge the party branch into an indestructible fortress, the company's party branch, under the guidance of the party committees at the brigade and battalion levels, explores and innovates the methods and steps of the "four exams" for party members, namely, standardizing the education and training of active party members, party member development targets, probationary party members, and formal party members in one process, forming a party member training mechanism that combines pre party inspection and post party evaluation, regular assessment, and key time tests. Through clear methods, measures, rewards and punishments, the "party members" can be tested for loyalty and combat effectiveness in the four exams. Since the implementation of the "Four Examinations" system for party members, "I am a party member who looks at me" and "I am a party member, I go first" have become the most heard and loud slogans in the company, and the slogan of "fighting for the vanguard and taking the lead" among officers and soldiers has become a prevailing trend in the company. Last year, on the night before the company participated in the higher-level examination, a tank suddenly malfunctioned. If repairs are not carried out in a timely manner, it will seriously affect the performance evaluation of the unit. In the absence of maintenance support forces and spare vehicles, Second Class Sergeant Luo Yang volunteered to repair overnight and successfully completed the task. Leading is a silent call and the most powerful mobilization. Scenes like this, where party members can stand up and take the lead at critical moments, are not uncommon in the company: Platoon leader Jiang Yi dares to fight bravely in the mass training competition organized by the brigade, winning two first places in the 400 meter obstacle and light equipment 5-kilometer obstacle, becoming a somewhat famous "double crown" of the unit; Liu Jingtao, an 18 year veteran, took the lead in the assessment of the established company and helped the unit achieve excellent results... The flag of war fluttered with his heart towards the party, and the red successors bravely took the lead. Faced with the numerous challenges and difficulties on the new journey of building a strong military, it is the descendants of the "Tian Family Association Hero Company" who dare to take on responsibilities, take the lead, and be the first. With the courage to tackle challenges and charge forward, they shoulder the mountain like mission, hone their fighting spirit, and practice their winning skills, making the blade of victory even brighter.
