In front of the lush honor forest, the team is neat and the atmosphere is solemn. On the eve of the Spring Festival, I walked into the "Hero Tank Company" of a certain brigade of the 74th Group Army, and coincidentally, the company held a commendation ceremony. At the ceremony, several veteran soldiers dressed in old-fashioned military uniforms and adorned with medals on their chests were particularly eye-catching. They once fought bloody battles in this heroic unit, and now they have been invited to return to the unit to witness the glorious moment of the new generation of Iron Armor successors. This forest of honor carries a tragic and glorious history of the company - in a crucial battle decades ago, the company was ordered to infiltrate enemy territory and cut off their retreat route. In extremely difficult circumstances, all the officers and soldiers of the company fought fiercely with steel will and completed the task half an hour ahead of schedule. In this battle, 8 officers and soldiers sacrificed heroically, and all 11 tanks made contributions. After the war, the Central Military Commission awarded the company the honorary title of "Hero Tank Company" and recorded the collective first-class merit. We personally planted 8 cinnamon trees to commemorate the 8 martyrs. ”Instructor Du of the company said affectionately, "From then on, Honor Forest has become the spiritual highland of the company - every time before carrying out important tasks, officers and soldiers will come here to 'report' to the martyrs; every time they receive honor, officers and soldiers will come here to comfort the martyrs." Now, this forest not only remembers the touching deeds of our predecessors, but also witnesses the shining footsteps of the new era's ironclad successors who bravely charge forward on the road to a strong army. That year, the company's camp was transformed into a composite camp. Faced with the new system, new equipment, and new mission, the officers and soldiers of the company voluntarily volunteered to undertake the task of testing and finalizing a new type of tank, participate in the compilation of training materials, and pave the way for the construction of the composite battalion. We not only need to sharpen the traditional 'bayonet tip', but also forge the 'new sharp edge' that will win the future. ”In recent years, the company has taken unmanned combat as a breakthrough point to enhance combat effectiveness, successively solving multiple bottlenecks and difficulties, and transforming into a "fast lane" for tackling challenges. Last year, the company was awarded the "four iron" exemplary organization, and 12 officers and soldiers were commended for outstanding performance in major tasks. Wei Zhongchu! ”Arrived! "" Huang Jinfei! ”'Arrived!'... At the ceremony, every time a martyr's name was called out, all personnel responded in unison with 'arrived', and a loud voice echoed in the forest. At the end of the call, Private Zhang Jingshan was the first to leave the line. This young soldier not only achieved outstanding training results in the past year, but also led the research and development of an important project, effectively improving the battlefield perception and autonomous strike capabilities of armored vehicles, and was awarded the third class merit for his personal achievements. I saw Zhang Jingshan walking briskly to the laurel tree engraved with the name of martyr Zhu Sizhen, solemnly paying a military salute, and then hanging an honorary armband on the tree. In the new year, he made a vow: to be the vanguard and lead the way in unmanned and intelligent battles, to comfort the martyrs with practical victory skills, and to continue writing a new chapter for the heroic unit. Subsequently, 11 officers and soldiers, including Cai Xingzhi, the backbone of the maintenance team and a third class hero, stepped forward one by one and tied their own honorary armbands to trees engraved with the names of the martyrs. The sunlight shone through the treetops, and the words' Hero Tank Company 'on the honor armband shone brightly. Only officers and soldiers who have made outstanding contributions to the transformation and construction of the company and performed outstandingly in major tasks are eligible to receive the honorary armband and tie it here! ”Instructor Du lifted an armband and introduced. Upon closer inspection, the front of the armband was embroidered with the company name and the names of the officers and soldiers, while the back was printed with personal achievements. As of now, 44 officers and soldiers of the company have left their glorious marks here. Chen Weiwen, a veteran and first-class military hero invited to attend the ceremony, walked slowly forward, gently stroking the tree trunk with trembling hands. Then he turned around and gazed at the young and determined faces, his voice choked but powerful: "Seeing you, seeing these achievements, our old comrades must be happy! Our army is getting stronger and stronger! Everyone must remember to continue to maintain this fighting spirit and develop more solid and effective real skills!" "Please rest assured, senior, we will definitely improve our skills and become the successors of the new era's ironclad army! ”The answers of the officers and soldiers rolled through the forest like thunder, without stopping for a long time. Heroes never go far away, their spirit endures forever. Hanging the honorary armband on the branch is also sounding the horn for the next charge. Step out of the Forest of Honor and rush towards the training ground. After the commendation ceremony, a training session immediately began. To achieve the centenary goal of building the army as scheduled, we cannot wait or shout, we must rely on firing one shot at a time, practicing one move at a time! ”The platoon leader told several veterans, "It is precisely because they understand this principle that the enthusiasm of the company's officers and soldiers for training and preparing for war is increasing day by day!" Standing on the training ground and looking around, a series of training scenes are rushing towards them: tanks and drones cooperate for reconnaissance, armored clusters and a certain type of unmanned vehicle joint assault... Traditional iron flow is accelerating its integration into the intelligent combat system. Under the guidance of the company cadres, the veterans came to visit the "Maker Research Room" of the company. Unlike the smoke from the training ground, there is another kind of "smoke" permeating here: the incessant sound of keyboard tapping and the flickering sparks from the welding gun. The bright red characters on the wall read 'Are you ready to win the future battlefield?' like war drums urging the expedition. This is our innovative 'one handed joystick'. ”Zhang Jingshan raised a specially designed device and introduced it to the veterans, saying, "With this device, the commander can control drones with one hand, significantly improving combat effectiveness." In recent years, the company has carefully sorted out the bottleneck problems that affect combat effectiveness, formed a "bottleneck" list, and organized officers and soldiers to continue to carry out mass research and development projects. Since last year, multiple achievements have been implemented and applied, and some have even been promoted by superiors. Listening to Zhang Jingshan's introduction, the veteran soldiers nodded repeatedly and smiled with satisfaction: "Back then, we won the enemy with a fighting spirit. Today, seeing your 'steel, gas, and bones are harder', we feel even more at ease and proud of you!" "From the 'steel torrent' to the 'information iron fist', the opponent is changing, the battlefield is changing, but the courage and bravery of the company to show their swords, see the red of their bayonets, and win against strong enemies have never changed! ”The company cadre solemnly reported to the veterans, 'We will definitely inherit the heroic spirit and continue to write new glory for the descendants of the Iron Armor!' Looking at the veterans' relieved smiles and listening to the soldiers' firm vows, the reporter believes that the number of honor armbands hanging in the forest of honor will definitely increase.
