'Five Lakes and Four Seas' Cultivate Clear Wind and Righteousness

The river breeze brushes against my face, waves surge and surge. Standing at the Three Gorges Dam, the reporter overlooks the magnificent scenery of thousands of hectares of clear water: from the source of the Three Rivers, small streams flow into the Yangtze River, cross the canyon, and converge into a high gorge and flat lake, generating a thunderous and tremendous potential energy. The river surges to the land of northern Jiangxi, and a heroic city stands tall: from the head of Nanchang, an army gathers children from all over the world, and after nearly a hundred years of struggle, it has been tempered into an invincible steel force. Through the flames of war and the smoke of war, visiting military camps, a simple yet profound iron law runs through ancient and modern times: cliques and cliques, and "hilltop ism" are the cancerous tumors that breed corruption, while "five lakes and four seas" and "embracing all rivers and streams" are the source of fresh water that washes away mud and impurities, and cultivates a clean and upright atmosphere. The rise of a military unit and the inheritance of a certain style - not pulling the "mountain top" in peacetime, but being able to attack the "mountain top" in wartime with a faint dawn and roaring engines. Outside Yanmen Pass, with the command of the commander of a certain brigade of the Air Force Aviation, the war eagle soared into the sky. Our unit has just been equipped with domestically produced new fighter jets, and we have exchanged many pilots and mechanics from our sister units. ”During the training break, the commander introduced to the reporter that "although they are not 'born and raised' in their unit, they are the backbone of the new quality combat power generation." Walking into the brigade history exhibition hall, they saw that this unit had shot down and damaged 72 enemy planes in the Korean War and homeland air defense operations, and a large number of heroic collectives and individuals such as "Li Shiying Squadron" and "Second Class Combat Hero" Han Decai emerged. Looking back at history, the growth trajectory of an air force composed of officers and soldiers from all over the world is clearly visible. Our brigade was originally a unit of the New Fourth Army. ”The commentator said that in the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Air Force was formed with this unit as its base. Not only did it draw a large number of flight seedlings from various units of the entire army, but it also absorbed personnel from the Nationalist Army who were integrated and reorganized during the Liberation War. Everything is considered from the battlefield, and victory is achieved at all costs. ”The Jiang Political Commissar of the brigade is a treasure trove of the history of the troops. "At that time, the troops adhered to the principle of 'heroes do not ask where they come from', boldly used talents from all sides, and quickly integrated officers and soldiers from different camps, quickly forming a strong cohesive combat force." "In the past few months after our formation, we flew to the Yalu River to participate in the Korean War. ”The commentator's face was filled with pride, "Although the team was young, they had a great reputation that made the US military tremble with fear." Speaking of the battle years of "fighting with bayonets in the air," Political Commissar Jiang sighed, "It was the initiative to dismantle the boundaries of the troops and the 'invisible hill' of individualism that ignited the invincible combat power of our predecessors, making our opponents exclaim that 'China has become one of the world's major air force powers almost overnight.'" "We don't pull the 'hill' in peacetime, we can attack the 'hill' in wartime. ”Political Commissar Jiang said, "This tradition is deeply rooted in the bloodline of our army and has become the winning code for the people's army from small to large and from weak to strong." Several tens of kilometers southeast of a certain station of the brigade is the famous Yanmen Pass ambush site. In October 1937, the 716th Regiment of the 358th Brigade of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army launched an ambush at Yanmen Pass, severely damaging the Japanese invaders and achieving another major victory after the Pingxingguan victory. The officers and soldiers familiar with this period of history discovered that just two months before the ambush at Yanmen Pass, the main force of the Red Army was reorganized into the Eighth Route Army, and the Red Second Army and Red 28th Army formed the 358th Brigade. Looking at the large blue and black cliff in Heishitou Gully, with eight vermilion regular script characters reading "Yanmen Pass Ambush Site", Political Commissar Jiang sighed and said that only by always using the broad mindedness of embracing all rivers and lakes to unite officers and soldiers from all over the world can we gather an invincible fighting force in just two months. This kind of mindset can be traced back to the "Muhuang Meeting" between the Red Second Army and the Red Sixth Army in August 1934, when the Red Sixth Army was ordered to march westward to search for the Red Second Army that had lost contact with the central government for more than two years. Through the mountains and rugged terrain, enduring numerous difficulties and dangers, the two legions successfully met in Muhuang Town, Yinjiang County, Guizhou Province in October. After the meeting, both sides took the initiative to suggest to the Military Commission that "the two corps should concentrate their actions" from the overall situation. When acting together, it is under the unified command of the Red Second Army Command. They established revolutionary bases in Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan, and Guizhou, restrained enemy forces, and successfully coordinated the transfer of the Central Red Army. Gathering strong forces from all corners of the world, passing on the torch and striving for victory in battle. As a veteran air force with outstanding military achievements, the brigade has undergone multiple transfers, reorganizations, reforms, and equipment updates, but has always adhered to the fine tradition of "five lakes and four seas" and achieved a leap in combat effectiveness through talent mobility and force integration. A few years ago, the brigade was responsible for the task of modifying and training air force fighter pilots, and batches of pilots came here to add steel for quenching. Faced with the reality of scarce human-machine resources and conflicts in training between new and old pilots, they not only sent multiple batches of excellent pilots to their sister units, but also provided the unique winning qualities of this glorious collective, helping multiple units to retrofit as scheduled. Would you be willing to transfer the excellent pilots you have trained to other units? ”Faced with doubts, the brigade leader spoke frankly: "Walking alone is fast, walking together is far. We have delivered a batch of seeds, but the Air Force can harvest a forest. Why not do it!" With the promotion of a staff member and the vigilance of a political commissar - to unite and not "form a group", Zhang, a political commissar of a certain army brigade, feels very "quiet" these days - studying the appointment and removal of cadres and personnel, no one "greets" him; After being promoted, no one messaged or called him to express their gratitude. Political Commissar Zhang is quite pleased with this "quietness": "It shows that everyone's organizational concept is strengthening, and they believe in and rely on the organization when faced with problems, rather than relying on personal relationships and seeking the 'care of the leader'." During a warning education class on "opposing 'hilltop ism' and adhering to 'five lakes and four seas'", Political Commissar Zhang mentioned a past event - after a government official was promoted to a instructor, he ran to his office and earnestly said, "Leader, without your care, I wouldn't be where I am today. In the future, I will do whatever you ask me to do!" "It was clearly a decision made by the brigade party committee through collective research and procedures, how could I be credited for the credit! On the head? ”Regarding this, Political Commissar Zhang harshly criticized, saying, "We are all members of the Party, and we will do whatever the Party asks us to do!" In class, the old story was brought up again, and Political Commissar Zhang spoke earnestly to the officers and soldiers, saying, "If I had accepted or even tacitly allowed this gratitude at that time, it would have invisibly mixed impurities of 'Jianghu loyalty' into the party relations, and drawn a circle of 'our own people' among comrades." "True revolutionaries never regard armed forces and resources as personal property, let alone their subordinates as' vassals'. ”This summer, Political Commissar Zhang led officers and soldiers to a certain county for training. In July 1938, the 344th Brigade of the 115th Division of the Eighth Route Army, under the command of its commander Xu Haidong, launched the Battle of Machidian in the town of Machidian in the county, which can be called the "Great Victory of Pingxingguan in Jinnan Region", killing and injuring about 1000 Japanese soldiers in one fell swoop. In addition to his training, Political Commissar Zhang organized officers and soldiers to pay tribute to the Martyrs' Monument in Changdian, telling everyone the story of Xu Haidong's "5000 yuan ocean gift to the Central Red Army" - in 1935, after the Long March, the Central Red Army arrived in northern Shaanxi with a severe shortage of supplies. Mao Zedong wrote a promissory note to Xu Haidong, the then commander of the 15th Red Army Corps, hoping that he could lend 2500 yuan of ocean to the central government to solve the urgent problem. At that time, the Red Fifteenth Army also had a weak financial situation, facing difficulties such as the winter for the wounded and sick, and the shortage of clothing and food for soldiers. However, Xu Haidong was well aware that if the Central Red Army faced difficulties in the cold winter, the overall revolutionary situation would be severely affected. After seeing the promissory note, Xu Haidong immediately called the Minister of Supply to inquire about his family background. When he heard that there were still 7000 pieces of ocean, he immediately ordered: keep 2000 and give the remaining 5000 to the central government! In Xu Haidong's heart, both the 15th Red Army Corps and the Central Red Army are party forces, not any private armed forces. ”Political Commissar Zhang reminds everyone to think, "Why can our party led army achieve mutual assistance and support, fighting one army while others rush to aid? But the Kuomintang army is full of factions and intrigues, with one army surrounded and others standing on the sidelines?" "Because our party led people's army is built on the basis of common ideals and beliefs. ”The words of Political Commissar Zhang resonated with everyone. Those who engage in 'mountain chauvinism' will one day have trouble! ”During classroom discussions, Zhang Guotao's shameful behavior of pulling mountains and causing division was repeatedly mentioned by officers and soldiers. During the Long March of the Red Army, Zhang Guotao of the Fourth Red Army treated the areas and leadership teams entrusted to them by the Party as his own private property, cultivated his confidants, eliminated dissidents, and seriously undermined the centralized unity of the Party and the Red Army. To prioritize the interests of individuals and small groups over the overall interests of the Party and the Red Army is to isolate oneself from the Party and the people. ”During the exchange and discussion, a historical detail left a deep impression on the reporter: when Zhang Guotao defected, he was unable to take away even a security guard. At the end of the education class, Political Commissar Zhang spoke firmly to the officers and soldiers: "We must unite, not 'form alliances'. Everyone can think about it and ask each other, which of our cadres who have grown and progressed in recent years is due to attachment or forming cliques? No! Not a single one is allowed in the future!" The truth of a gathering and the mirror of a villa - the bond between comrades in arms - cannot be bound by personal interests. Jinling, an inconspicuous barracks, is responsible for bidding and procurement for the army. As a newly established unit in the deepening of national defense and military reform, reporters found that the officers and soldiers of this department come from multiple regions across the country and different units of the entire army. Director Wang of the department said, "In our unit, there is no complex network of relationships to manage, no heavy debt of personal relationships to repay, and everyone is fully focused on their work." Recently, a company in the south accidentally came across their project bidding and procurement information online. The company leader felt that their qualifications and abilities fully met the requirements, so they submitted the bid with the idea of "trying it out". I didn't expect to successfully win the bid without contacting anyone or relying on any connections. Afterwards, the person in charge of the company sighed and said, "I can't find anyone to thank." As the head of this unit, Director Wang told reporters about an experience that once troubled him - at that time, Director Wang had just taken office and found that his phone number had increased. The people who make phone calls are either using the names of fellow villagers, comrades, and classmates to get close, "Director Wang said with a bitter smile." I know very well in my heart that what they value is not me, but the power in my hands. "Once, an old comrade in arms who had retired from the military and was doing business called and said he was passing by on a business trip and wanted to meet up with a few old comrades. Thinking that his comrades were coming from afar and it wouldn't be acceptable not to meet in person, Director Wang arrived at the appointment on time. Unexpectedly, this seemingly simple comrade in arms reminiscence was actually a hope from the other party that he would "take care of him more" in a certain bidding and procurement project. During the meal, the comrade also proposed to establish a WeChat group to "facilitate future emotional connections". After returning, Director Wang voluntarily withdrew from this WeChat group. Will your actions make your comrades feel inhumane? ”When asked by reporters, Director Wang admitted, "I don't deny comrades in arms, but I don't recognize this kind of relationship bound by interests. True comradeship should be based on life and death on the battlefield, rather than forming small groups or circles under the guise of comrades in arms, using each other for personal gain!" Director Wang's unit is not far away, and there is an English style villa. This used to be the mansion of Song Ziwen. On his way to and from work, he passed by
