On a spring day, I visited the training ground of a certain brigade of the Central Theater Command Army and saw tanks galloping and armor roaring. At the beginning of the new year, two scenes are deeply engraved in the hearts of the officers and soldiers of the brigade -87 years ago, the battle began in the new year. Zhang Zhen, the former commander of the Fourth Battalion of the brigade and the then Chief of Staff of the New Fourth Army Guerrilla Detachment, participated in commanding the night raid on Lujiamiao, thwarting the puppet army's attempt to capture Boxian in one fell swoop. For decades, the officers and soldiers of the brigade have imprinted in their hearts the qualities of being ready for battle and being constantly prepared. Just after the end of the 2018 New Year, President Xi Jinping arrived at the training ground of this unit, dressed in military uniform, stepped onto the colonel's platform, and issued a training order to the entire army, calling for "strengthening the clear orientation of military training and preparation, firmly placing military training in a strategic position and making it the central work, grasping it and not letting it go, and achieving results". With a command from the commander, the three armies waved their swords together. During the visit to the training ground, it was observed that with the continuous deepening of political training, officers and soldiers have overcome deep-seated ideological problems and squeezed out the "water" of military training and preparation, and their enthusiasm for training is increasing. Everyone is using practical combat standards to prepare for battle at all times. The commander takes the lead in training, and the good tradition is passed down from generation to generation in a certain place in North China, where the snow clears and the sky is as clear as water. At the airport of a certain brigade of the Air Force Aviation Corps, with the command of the tower commander, fighter jets roared and took off one by one. This is the first flight training of the brigade this year, and it was the brigade commander who flew the first fighter jet into the air. This is the sequence of warfare! ”The leader of the brigade introduced that during today's training, the flight leaders of the brigade were the first to fly on the front line, and the political and ground leaders also followed suit. The reporter looked around the tower and found that all the standing committee members of the brigade party committee had entered the command position. After the military training of the new year began, reporters visited multiple training grounds throughout the army and found that the figures of commanders at all levels driving the first car, firing the first shot, and dropping the first bullet became the most eye-catching scenery on the training grounds. In a certain location in Hubei, a formation of war eagles loaded with parachuters from a certain brigade of airborne troops arrived at the designated airspace. They opened the cabin door and faced the complex airflow in the air. The battalion commander took the lead in jumping out of the cabin, and other cadres followed closely behind. Umbrella flowers bloomed in the air. Wearing a diving suit, a waterproof face mask, an oxygen cylinder, and pressurized lead, the captain of a naval rescue squadron jumped into the piercing seawater with a "thump" sound under the guidance of a signal rope. Up to the sea, full of courage. The officers and soldiers of the squadron told reporters that if the leader dares to climb the mountain of knives, the soldiers dare to descend into the sea of fire; Leaders dare to 'lower their heads', soldiers dare to' break into the Dragon Palace '. Since the start of the new year's military training, the squadron cadres have been "downing the water" every day, and the soldiers have been soaking in the water for training in the morning and evening. They often struggle to lift their arms and can't even hold their bowls during meals, but everyone has always maintained high morale. Going upstream from the place where the cadre of the squadron "went down to the water", the tributary of the Yellow River, Yan River, flows quietly. The villagers on the banks of the Yanhe River are still talking about a story of Marshal He Long - during the Anti Japanese War, the commander of the 120th Division, He Long, organized senior cadres into squads and platoons, took the lead in practicing the three major techniques of shooting, bombing, and assassination, and sparked a mass training frenzy in the Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia Border Region to become "He Long Bombers". Chen Zongyao, the commander of the 718th Regiment of the 359th Brigade, trains diligently every morning wearing a shirt to break the 45 meter bombing standard. Despite his swollen arms, he perseveres with gritted teeth. His regiment's 3rd Battalion has been awarded the honorary title of "He Long Bomber Battalion" for outstanding training achievements. In September 1944, Comrade Mao Zedong, after watching a military performance led by the 359th Brigade, praised, "General, you have trained your troops well! These comrades are amazing, they are truly 'He Long Bombers'. If every fighter becomes such a Bomber in the future, they will be invincible in the world." On September 3 last year, the flag of the' He Long Bomber Battalion 'proudly passed through Tiananmen Square and was inspected by the Party and the people. The glorious tradition passed down from generation to generation must be carried forward! "Walking off the parade ground, a special training group was immediately established by a certain brigade of the Western Theater Command Army, where the battle flag was located. The brigade commander and political commissar served as the group leader, leading the rigorous training and hard work. During this period, the brigade has received frequent good news: in a certain confrontation exercise, the brigade commander achieved the first place in handling multiple situations such as enemy situation determination and intelligence analysis; Under the electromagnetic interference of the enemy, the political commissar commanded the electronic countermeasures force to carry out anti-interference and achieved victory... "The tradition of commanders taking the lead in training has been passed down from generation to generation after being tempered by fire. ”Having witnessed the new year's ship aircraft coordinated anti submarine training of a certain naval detachment, the reporter saw that they assigned leaders of their subordinate units to various combat positions on the ship, and staged difficult and dangerous exercises in rotation, attacking and defending against each other. The leader of the army is strong and sharp, while the executor of the war keeps on fighting. On the training ground of the three armed forces in the new year, the magnificent slogans of "watch me" and "follow me" echo everywhere - the Marine Corps training ground. Frogmen quietly dive, precision snipe, anti-terrorism rescue, helicopter landing, underwater blasting and other difficult problems are constantly making new breakthroughs under the leadership of commanders at all levels. The leader of a certain special operations brigade of the army and the officers and soldiers climbed high-rise buildings empty handed, swam thousands of meters of water, and conducted devilish training together... The better the atmosphere of the troops, the more enthusiastic the officers and soldiers are in training, facing the sea breeze. When the reporter arrived at a certain military port, it was already evening. I thought there must be many warships anchored, but I didn't expect there to be very few empty ones. I just came back for over ten days, and I'm about to embark on another expedition! ”Boarding the Taiyuan ship, the captain quickly introduced the situation. Since last year, they have been training at sea continuously. They just returned a few days ago and are about to embark on another long voyage. Unresolved clothing, embarking on another journey. On the side, opening the berthing log of the Baotou ship shocked the reporter even more: they had been on escort missions in the Gulf of Aden for 368 days and had just returned. After docking, the commander wanted the officers and soldiers to go ashore for a brief rest, but everyone took the initiative to suggest that time was precious and that a multi subject port shore simulation training be organized on board first. The deeper into the training ground, the more the reporter feels that officers and soldiers actively and strictly train, it has become a conscious behavior. In a certain Air Force aviation brigade, they have completed multiple extreme flight training in the first month of the new year. On a map of the command tower, crisscrossing tracks extend deep into the South China Sea along Yongxing Island, Yongshu Reef, and Huayang Reef. Everyone actively applies pressure, challenges their limits, and flies a new path in the new year. ”A fighter pilot who had just flown continuously over the South China Sea for several hours introduced that with the support of refueling aircraft, they completed multiple aerial refueling and advanced to the southernmost point of the South China Sea, achieving long-range regional control over the open sea. The better the military atmosphere, the more enthusiastic the officers and soldiers are in training. ”When it comes to the new atmosphere of training, the pilot confides in himself, "Deepening political rectification training has made the selection and appointment of personnel clear and refreshing, and the style of the army more solid. Everyone's enthusiasm for training and preparing for war is unprecedentedly high." Strict requirements have become a conscious effort. A certain naval unit was issued a "flash explosion mask", but some soldiers in the past did not like it because they felt uneasy wearing it. After the military training for the new year began, officers and soldiers voluntarily applied to wear it. Everyone says that in actual combat, if a ship explodes or detonates without a face mask protection, the consequences can be unimaginable. No matter how uncomfortable it is, one must develop a habit. At the beginning of the year, there was a sudden heavy snowfall in Baishan and Heishui, and the temperature dropped sharply. A certain brigade of the Northern Theater Command Army organized officers and soldiers to advance into the snowy plain for winter training. The brigade leader did not expect that they could have stayed in a tent, but the officers and soldiers voluntarily offered to stay in a snow shelter for a few days to practice their field survival ability under extremely cold conditions. Everyone says: Snow Wilderness must not lose his essential skills in fighting! The headquarters of this army is quietly located at the Northeast Martyrs Memorial Hall. Inside the venue, there is a homemade wooden ski board fixed with animal skin on display. In the past, the predecessor of the Seventh Army of the Northeast Anti Japanese United Army, the Raohe Guerrilla Force, created their own ski equipment and learned skiing techniques from scratch. They used the vast snowfield as a natural training ground and wrote the legend of "Snowfield Flying Soldiers" by the Ussuri River. Starting from the beginning of 1941, more than 700 troops of the heavily damaged Northeast Anti Japanese United Front were forced to be gradually transferred to the Soviet Far East region of Boli for training. Four years later, some soldiers of the Anti Japanese United Front were parachuted into various parts of Northeast China by Soviet military aircraft, and successfully completed tasks such as reconnaissance of enemy situations, harassment of enemy formations, and striking against Japanese forces. A team that was once on the brink of extinction has been revitalized, thanks to the strict training of officers and soldiers during the training period, who have mastered military skills such as high-altitude skydiving, skiing, swimming, rock climbing, and assassination. Some soldiers have also learned techniques such as telegraph, photography, surveying, and explosive reconnaissance. This style has been passed down to this day! ”A pilot at a training base of the Air Force deeply felt this. He told reporters that there have been many new changes on the training ground of the base this year: electronic interference has become a standard feature in every air battle, and every confrontation is a whole system competition, without a single element... "These were all proposed by pilots voluntarily, and the reason is simple. In the future, air combat will no longer be a single player competition, but a system competition. ”Over the past month, although the number of "enemy planes" destroyed in the confrontation has decreased, the combat capability of the troops has actually improved. Deepening political training and focusing on fighting for war has ignited the smoke of war in the hearts of officers and soldiers. The officers and soldiers of a certain naval unit, known as the "Blue Army at Sea", have the deepest feeling about this change: as the "sharpening stone" of the navy's military, many units in the past were unwilling to confront them, and they always wanted to ask them to "show their favor" and reduce the difficulty of confrontation exercises. Since last year, many units have taken the initiative to come knocking on their doors and "negotiate" with them, all asking them to "not show affection, come seriously"! Like attacking a mountain, striving to overcome the training weakness, the earth is covered in silver, and the cold wind cuts the face like a knife. A certain brigade of the Western Theater Command Army braved the wind and snow to conduct night training on the plateau, and received excellent overall evaluations for training courses such as helicopter night transport and night formation navigation. Unexpectedly, during the summary, they not only did not receive praise, but also received criticism. Originally, the shortcomings of a certain flight course were not fully addressed this time. The leadership of the brigade has a clear attitude: they cannot run without highlighting their strengths, and they cannot make up for their weaknesses. Training cannot be superficial, it must be pragmatic and practical. These days, a certain naval aviation unit has organized multiple batches of fighter jets to conduct anti submarine training in a certain sea and airspace across day and night, with long flight hours. The leaders of the department introduced that since the beginning of this year, they have increased the difficulty of training subjects such as deploying sonar buoys and establishing monitoring routes, forcing officers and soldiers to improve their ability to distinguish characteristic signals. Deepen political rectification and let the pragmatic wind blow vigorously on the training ground. Along the way, the reporter's feeling became increasingly strong: many troops are working hard to overcome their training weaknesses like attacking a mountain. The naval fleet of a certain detachment has been practicing with neighboring troops in a strange sea area for nearly a month. Between the sea and sky, data flows freely. Within the formation command post, various combat forces repeatedly practiced and explored many tactics to improve the efficiency of information command link transmission and other challenges. The mutual learning and joint construction unit of this detachment is the "Pingxingguan Battle Assault Company" of a certain army brigade. The reporter visited the honor room of the company and saw the past of the Eighth Route Army making up for its shortcomings in hand to hand combat during the Anti Japanese War - in the early stages of the war, the fighting spirit of the Eighth Route Army was very tenacious, but it was clearly lagging behind in hand to hand combat, with at least three Eighth Route Army soldiers able to resist one Japanese soldier. To reverse their disadvantage, the Eighth Route Army came up with various methods: initially, each squad was equipped with a spear, and the front row soldiers pretended to attack, while the back row soldiers used spears to launch surprise attacks on enemy vital points; Later, combined with combat experience, continuous revisions were made to address shortcomings, resulting in a significant improvement in combat effectiveness. In the January 1944 ambush at Baijiawo in eastern Hebei, the officers and soldiers of the Eighth Route Army's Jin Cha Ji Military Region in eastern Hebei engaged in close combat and annihilated more than 400 enemy soldiers, becoming a classic example of the decisive victory in hand to hand combat behind enemy lines. Training weaknesses determine the level of combat effectiveness. The training philosophy of the revolutionary predecessors at that time was integrated into the bloodline of the officers and soldiers of the "Pingxingguan Battle Assault Company". In the pilot project of "manned+unmanned" intelligent combat force, they introduced simulation technology and drew on the training methods of naval sonar troops
