The night is vast, and the chariots are rolling. In the middle of winter, a practical training organized by a certain army brigade kicked off in a certain place. The road ahead has been damaged by the 'enemy', immediately organize emergency repairs. ”After receiving instructions from superiors, the commander immediately ordered officers and soldiers to operate drones to fly to the target area for reconnaissance. Quickly, the image information was transmitted back to the command vehicle. The commander quickly formulated a repair plan based on the situation and issued instructions one after another. Immediately, the officers and soldiers skillfully operated various equipment and carried out emergency repair operations... The reporter was presented with a tense and orderly busy scene. The road repair is completed and smooth traffic has been restored! ”At the end of the training, the officers and soldiers of the brigade submitted a satisfactory answer sheet: the operation time was significantly reduced, and the operation efficiency was further improved. Open the way to mountains and build bridges when encountering water. On the road to building a strong military in the new era, the officers and soldiers of this brigade are not afraid of difficulties and hardships, bravely serving as the "pioneers", actively exerting new strength, charging forward in battle, and facing difficulties, overcoming one difficulty after another and achieving new results. The beneficial enlightenment brought by a tough experience - only by daring to face difficulties can we overcome difficulties and obstacles! ”With the commander's command, smoke and dust immediately filled the experimental field of the brigade. The smoke of gunpowder dissipated, and as they watched the precious data obtained in the experiment, the squad leader of a certain company in the brigade, He Zubin, and his comrades smiled. Although innovative blasting methods face many difficulties, with that experience of tackling challenges, we are not afraid of encountering any more difficulties! ”During the break, He Zubin told the reporter about a past story. That year, the army received a batch of new equipment and He Zubin's company was assigned a pilot mission. Watching the new equipment entering the camp, He Zubin and his comrades were particularly excited, but some officers and soldiers felt intimidated by the challenges of switching majors and mastering new equipment. The new equipment has high technological content and requires higher abilities and qualities from officers and soldiers. After switching to a new major, although not starting from scratch, there are many new knowledge to learn and a series of new technologies to practice, and the difficulties faced can be imagined. ”Speaking of the scene at that time, He Zubin's face was solemn. Only by daring to face difficulties can we overcome them. ”Just as the officers and soldiers were worried, the company instructor took everyone to the Long Corridor of Travel History to revisit the stories of our predecessors who won tough battles. During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the Japanese puppet army "eroded" our anti Japanese base areas by building a large number of defensive strongholds. How to fight a tough battle and uproot enemy strongholds without heavy weapons? Wang Fenglin, Deputy Commander of the 1st Brigade of the Shandong Column of the Eighth Route Army, led the officers and soldiers to repeatedly study and apply mine blasting technology to the battle of assault, successfully destroying enemy strongholds and contributing to the victory of the anti - "encroachment" struggle. Later on, our predecessors continuously improved their technology and promoted various innovative blasting methods throughout the army. For us, changing clothes and transforming is a tough battle that we must win. As descendants of heroes, we can only live up to the title of 'pioneers' if we dare to face difficulties like our predecessors. ”Listening to the instructor's lecture, everyone's blood boiled and they all issued military orders: master the new equipment proficiently within the prescribed time and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible! During the day, officers and soldiers familiarize themselves with new equipment and learn operational techniques at the training ground; In the evening, studying relevant theoretical knowledge and researching and improving training methods in the study room... "Although those days were very difficult, my comrades did not slack off at all. Because everyone held a strong determination in their hearts: to resolutely win this battle and be a good 'pioneer'," He Zubin said with emotion. Everything comes to him who waits. In less than half a year, He Zubin and his comrades obtained the "certificate of qualification" to operate the new equipment. Difficulties are like springs, if you are strong, they will be weak. ”He Zubin said that after completing this transformation task, everyone is not only excited, but also understands a truth: the new journey of building a strong military cannot be smooth sailing, and will inevitably encounter various difficulties and challenges. To achieve victory, one must have a firm belief in victory and dare to face difficulties head-on. Dare to face difficulties and bring abundant fruits. It is understood that in recent years, the officers and soldiers of the brigade have been brave enough to overcome difficulties, constantly tap into the potential of equipment, actively innovate tactics and training methods, and forge a new type of combat support path that suits themselves. A profound reflection triggered by a failed assessment - focusing on actual combat and practicing hard in daily life, only by going to the battlefield can we win. Many officers and soldiers have said the same sentence: "Focusing on actual combat and practicing hard in daily life, only by going to the battlefield can we win." "Everyone has formed this consensus due to a failed assessment. ”The leader of the brigade said. That time, a certain detachment of the brigade was ordered to participate in the assessment organized by the higher authorities. In order to achieve excellent results, the officers and soldiers made careful preparations in advance, practiced repeatedly according to the operating essentials, and polished each link repeatedly. The assessment began, and the officers and soldiers drove their equipment quickly to the target area, completed terrain survey, scheme design and other work in a short period of time, and carried out bridge construction operations with skilled movements and tacit cooperation. With a command, a vehicle quickly passed through the bridge deck and said, 'Organize a comprehensive inspection!'. Immediately, the officers and soldiers reported to the command center that the operation was completed. This assignment took a lot of time earlier than the designated time, so I am sure to get a high score. ”When the officers and soldiers were full of expectations, they were poured with cold water: the assessment results were announced, but the scores given by the assessment team were not high. Where is the problem? At the review meeting, experts from the assessment team gave the answer: the alert forces were not dispatched in a timely manner before entering the target area; Improper methods of defending against enemy attacks during homework; After setting up the bridge, it is difficult to ensure the effectiveness of the load inspection with only one vehicle... Listening to the comments of the assessment team experts, everyone lowered their heads. Get up from where you fall. Subsequently, a large-scale discussion on the theme of "how far we are from the actual combat requirements and how far we are from the goal of winning" quickly began in the brigade. Brigade leaders and officers and soldiers work together to identify issues during training that do not meet the requirements of actual combat, and gather intelligence to study solutions. Soon, a series of measures were implemented one after another. Connect "practical training" with "actual combat". They adhere to the principle of 'training soldiers as they fight' and 'training troops diligently as they need to fight', optimizing training content based on combat needs, continuously strengthening case-based training, specialized mission topic refinement, and emergency response training, and forging the ability of the troops to win modern warfare. Let the 'playground' lead to the 'battlefield'. They utilize limited venue resources to construct various typical combat scenarios, and train officers and soldiers in an environment similar to actual combat through methods such as multiple emotions in one place, multiple exercises in one situation, and multiple methods in one exercise. Shift from 'taking exams' to' facing challenges'. They fully utilize the "baton" role of assessment, setting up sufficient real enemy situations and tactical backgrounds in assessment competitions, adding difficult courses, special situation handling, and other content, so that officers and soldiers can be tested in real difficulties and strictness. In the conference room of a certain camp in the brigade, it was seen that the camp cadres were discussing and exchanging ideas around the upcoming practical training, analyzing possible problems, researching solutions, and creating a lively atmosphere on site. Nowadays, training according to practical requirements has become the norm in our brigade. ”Li Jinpeng, a cadre of the battalion, told reporters that with the increasing smell of gunpowder on the training ground, officers and soldiers have more and more confidence in winning future wars. A wave of innovation triggered by a research project - the more arduous the task, the more it requires leadership cadres to charge forward. Recently, the brigade determined a new round of key and difficult research projects. The reporter found that the person in charge of each project is a leading cadre at all levels of the brigade. Leading cadres to tackle key and difficult issues is an effective way for us to stimulate the enthusiasm of officers and soldiers for training and preparing for war, and promote the high-quality development of military construction. ”During the interview, the leader of the brigade told the reporter about an experience of tackling a research topic. How to deepen the coordination of manned and unmanned combat forces and further enhance the combat effectiveness of the troops is a practical issue that the brigade is researching and exploring. Due to a lack of professional expertise, significant progress has not been made in this research project. After studying, the Party Committee of the brigade has decided to appoint a brigade leader as the project leader. Under the leadership of this brigade leader, the research team went deep into the grassroots to listen to the opinions and suggestions of officers and soldiers, consulted experts at scientific research institutes, worked overtime and repeatedly experimented, ultimately breaking through difficulties and exploring multiple sets of new combat training methods. Leading by example is key. ”When it comes to the reasons for the success of this research project, a member of the research group said, "Seeing the brigade leaders working overtime, everyone's enthusiasm for tackling difficulties is getting stronger and stronger." "The more arduous the task is, the more it requires leading cadres to charge forward. ”The success of this research project has further made the party committee of the brigade realize that it is particularly important for leading cadres to play an exemplary and leading role in the battle to achieve the centenary goal of building the army. To this end, they carefully sorted out the deep-seated problems that are urgently needed for military construction, preparation for war, and the urgent expectations of officers and soldiers, formed multiple research topics, and clearly required leaders at all levels to claim the topics and lead teams to research and solve them. On the training ground of the brigade, a standing committee member of the brigade party committee was leading a certain research group to conduct relevant experiments. In our brigade, it is not feasible for leaders to only name and not contribute to research projects. ”The standing committee member told reporters that the brigade regularly holds meetings to promote key and difficult topics, requiring project leaders to report on the research progress, difficulties encountered, and measures to be taken on site. Participants will randomly ask questions and discuss solutions together. There was a period of time when this standing committee member was busy with administrative work and relaxed about the research topic. At the project promotion meeting, when he reported on the progress of the project, he was criticized severely for not being able to explain some of the issues clearly. Looking back on the scene back then, I still feel a burning sensation on my face, "said the standing committee member. From now on, no matter how busy he is with work, he will make time to study the topics he is responsible for seriously. Action is the best command, and example is the best demonstration. The reporter learned that in recent years, the leading cadres at all levels of the brigade have truly studied warfare and taken the lead in tackling key issues, completing dozens of major research projects, solving a number of difficult problems that affect the development of military construction, and further stimulating the enthusiasm of the vast number of officers and soldiers for training and preparing for war. At the same time, they continue to carry out activities such as "small inventions" and "small innovations", which effectively promote the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops. Embark on the journey back home. Recalling the scenes of intense military training and the stories of tough battles heard in the brigade, on the new journey of building a strong army, the officers and soldiers of the brigade will surely overcome obstacles and demonstrate a new style of "pioneering".
