In the early morning, officers and soldiers from a certain ammunition brigade of the Air Force have transported ammunition to the apron. Captain Huang Shuai stared at a missile under the wing, carefully inspected it, and then raised his thumb to signal to the maintenance personnel. Huang Shuai quickly ran towards the next flight. He dared not relax at every step from technical preparation to release, and then to installation and deployment of missiles. For ammunition support soldiers, any matter related to ammunition must be carefully considered. On the apron, sunlight poured down. Third level sergeant Yang Yang looked up and saw silver wings piercing through the clouds, as fighter jets flew through the sky one after another. Competing in the clouds, missiles are the 'sword' of fighter jets. Keeping this airborne 'sword' sharp is the unremitting pursuit of the officers and soldiers of the brigade. Yang Yang and his comrades are responsible for unsealing, transporting, and inspecting ammunition, and distributing and eliminating hidden dangers according to task needs. The work of ammunition support soldiers is not only in front of the apron, their "main battlefield" is often in the ammunition warehouse. A missile may appear simple in appearance, but it actually carries various precision components and pipeline circuits. Therefore, every time entering the inspection cycle, the officers and soldiers of the brigade will switch to "combat state": quality control personnel will first check the ammunition related information and screen the types of ammunition that need to be regularly tested; Ordnance personnel unseal and assemble the selected ammunition; Electronic technicians prepare the specialized components and equipment required for testing... Each profession is closely interconnected and collaborates closely. In order to grab the response speed of the fighter jet carrying the sword on the expedition, they are racing against time every time they maintain ammunition. To optimize the operation steps, Huang Shuai leads the backbone to repeatedly simulate the operation process, carefully sort out the weak points of each link, and even specifically "learn from" brother units to find the best operation plan; To solve the problems of traditional tools being clumsy and having multiple inspection processes, First Class Sergeant Pan Kechen made adjustments and improvements to some tools, making them more convenient to use and faster to load and unload than before; In order to alleviate the manpower shortage caused by heavy tasks, Sergeant Yang Binbin took the initiative to learn from the team and became the first "versatile" in the brigade, teaching a group of versatile talents and making the ammunition support "assembly line" operation more smooth and efficient... The construction of a building is not made of a single tree; The vastness of the sea is not a first-class destination. It is precisely because every ammunition support soldier silently holds their position that the acceleration of the ammunition support mode has been achieved. Before a recent training mission, the team innovatively used portable rapid inspection equipment to conduct functional testing on ammunition. They successfully shortened the operation time by half by adjusting and optimizing the detection timing. In the silent ammunition warehouse, electric wrenches buzzed softly, and ammunition support soldiers were wiping the sharpness of the "sword" that would win the battle in the sky. Their meticulous craftsmanship and enterprising spirit resonate with each other on the new journey of building a strong and prosperous military, shining brightly. (New Society)
