Inheritance The figure of the "hero" charge overlaps with the predecessors on the historical track "Iron armor, break through the enemy's fortress; war flag, inserted in the highland of victory, moving forward bravely is the attitude of battle, invincible is the heroic..." Zhou Wentao, the 37th generation driver of the "hero" tank, loudly sang the "hero's war song", filled with joy and excitement in his heart. The officers and men of the "hero" tank company entered the yard in a whole team. Photo by Zhan Yikun In this exercise, Zhou Wentao led the team members to successfully defeat the "blue army", the first to seize the 1335.9 highland and win the battle. "There used to be a 'Dong Lai Fu', but today there is you, Zhou Wentao!" his comrades in arms praised him again and again. Because of a battle, history remembers a man. When attacking Jinzhou in 1948, the captured Japanese "old man tank" welcomed the best partner - Driver Dong Laifu. Since the tank brigade is the first time to participate in a large-scale urban offensive, the driver's operation ability is very important if they want to fight well. During the battle, the "old man tank" was responsible for covering the infantry to break through the fortifications outside the old city. The other three tanks were hit and fell into the ditch and could not fight. The captured Japanese "old man tank" rushed to the enemy array and was "injured" five times. Dong Laifu, the pilot, risked his life to climb out of the cab and repair while fighting, knocking out the enemy's fire points one by one. After the war, the fourth field army named the tank "meritorious man", and Dong Lai helped Rong to make first-class contributions. This is the origin of the name "hero". Over the past 76 years, the officers and men of the "hero" tank company have charged all the way, cultivated and molded the iron and blood fighting spirit of "marching forward bravely is the posture of battle, invincible is the heroic heroic" in the fire of war, and has been integrated into the blood of officers and soldiers one after another. Corporal Chen Ziheng remembered the scene of the "hero" for the first time. "Which company are you assigned to?" Lei Youping, Chen Ziheng's recruit monitor, asked. "The 'hero' tank company," Chen Ziheng replied without hesitation. Lei Youping was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "you're going to a meritorious company. You have to integrate into this heroic group as soon as possible." Lei Youping patted him on the shoulder and cheered him on. Unexpectedly, Chen Ziheng became the "old end" of the company's first 5km armed cross-country assessment. "The feeling of never catching up is particularly painful." Chen Ziheng hesitated and lost. Every time he wanted to give up, there was always a silent force supporting him, making him want to "pull himself out of the mud by holding his hair". In order to improve his physical examination results as soon as possible, Chen Ziheng prepared two backpack ropes for each training, tied at his waist, and the two ends of the rope were led by a comrade in arms. Run faster just to get closer. The scorching sun scorched Chen Ziheng's body, and he felt himself in the furnace. The legs are filled with lead. Every step needs to use up all your strength. His breathing became faster and faster, and his heart jumped in his chest like a drum. "Constantly reaching the limit and breaking through the limit." at the moment, he took his comrades in arms and shouted at him: "don't shrink back in the face of difficulties and charge bravely in the face of strong enemies!" This is the winning gene of the "hero" tank company. Chen Ziheng gritted his teeth and insisted on running to the end. "Even if he falls, he should fall at the end.". Chen Ziheng felt a little lost because he had been taken away by others. Monitor Liu shencan told him that he was brought up by others in the same way. In 2006, Liu Shen and his monitor Zhao Jianxin participated in the basic training competition organized by the superior. Liu recalled the assessment scene of that year, still fresh in his memory: "in the 10 km armed cross-country assessment, Zhao Jianxin gritted his teeth and insisted on pulling me to run the last kilometer." finally, he won the honor of "first-class company of military training" for the company. Veterans lead recruits, and recruits become veterans again. Today, Zhao Jianxin has grown from a monitor to a cadre, and the former soldiers have also taken the post of monitor. After many major tasks, Liu shencan became the 33rd generation commander of the "meritorious man" tank and served as a company communication technician. Whenever the officers and men of the "hero" tank company encounter difficulties and depression, they will come to the honor room of the company to be baptized and absorb the infinite power of moving forward bravely. The soldiers' party, who had the honor of being selected to participate in the military parade to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of new China, came here specially before departure. Facing the "hero" flag, he said sonorously and forcefully: "on national day, I will embark on the road that the predecessors of the company walked in front of Tiananmen Square 70 years ago and honor the review of the motherland and the people. As a member of the" hero "tank company, I am proud, I am proud!" Walking along the track of the company's honor room and through the eventful years of the war years, you can feel the heroic demeanor of this army from time to time from the quiet and peaceful years. They went to Inner Mongolia for training 17 times and participated in the National Day parade 8 times... While paying attention to basic training, they paid close attention to tactical exercises and participated in major tasks. In striving to be the first again and again, the company's Party branch won the honorary title of "advanced grass-roots party organization" and the company won the honorary title of "model company for grass-roots comprehensive construction". As time goes by, time and space change. More than half a century later, the officers and soldiers of the company and the "meritorious man" charged with each other, superimposed with their predecessors on the track of history. transformation To adapt to the transformation and upgrading of the army, we should not only grind out the "cocoon" on our hands, but also temper our brain The company has changed to the latest generation of domestic tanks! On the day of loading, driver Li Zhijun couldn't wait to drive a new tank into the warehouse with his comrades in arms. Although it is necessary to re learn the operation of new equipment, the joy of equipment upgrading is beyond words. However, the reality shows us an "unfriendly" side. Soon after the new tanks were installed, the company organized a real vehicle driving training. The tank driven by Li Zhijun stalled on the way and delayed the fighter due to improper operation, and the final assessment result was the bottom. Li Zhijun is recognized as a "trump driver", and it is reasonable that he will not have such a problem. Many comrades in arms comforted him and said, "we are not familiar with the new equipment. Don't hurry and take your time." Li Zhijun understands that the transformation and upgrading of the army is not as simple as "replacing two legs with four wheels". What is more fatal than "equipment generation difference" is "concept generation difference". "I thought I had reached the top of the mountain, but I didn't think this was just the beginning of the next mountain charge." Li Zhijun said that there is still a long way to go to skillfully operate the new information equipment. What should I do? After thinking, it is action. In order to overcome the difficulties in the use of new equipment, Li Zhijun led everyone to learn professional theoretical knowledge and repeatedly hone driving skills. "The 'hero' tank company is a 'gold lettered signboard' and must not become dim in the hands of officers and soldiers of our generation," Li Zhijun said. "People need a kind of spiritual support." Li Zhijun said that whenever he encountered difficulties, he would think of the slogan "don't shrink back in the face of difficulties and charge bravely in the face of strong enemies". Times are changing and tasks are changing. What remains unchanged is the brave and fearless fighting spirit of the officers and men of the "hero" tank company from generation to generation. In 2017, the "hero" tank company was transformed into a new tank company under the synthetic system, and the optimization of force composition brought about changes in combat style. It was a difficult time to grow up. Cheng zengtao, instructor of the "meritorious man" tank company, recalled: "in the face of unprecedented challenges, we must not shrink back. The brave who meet on a narrow road wins, we must gnaw down this hard bone!" The process of transformation is like rebirth. If we say to march to the information highland, others start with a 100 meter sprint, while artillery commander Zhou Sheng moves forward in crawling and climbing. "Feeling the new equipment, I feel like the 'most familiar stranger'," he once sighed. The visible differences in volume, weight, launching mode and handling habits are not an obstacle to the old artillery commander with decades of experience. "The biggest obstacle is the 'mental barrier' - the body enters informatization, and the mind cannot stop at mechanization." for Zhou Sheng, behind the LCD screens of fire control computer, gun control box and gunner's sight reflect the change of combat thinking and the reconstruction of personal ability. "I remember the first time I got into a new tank. In the face of a wide variety of touch buttons, I didn't know where to put my hands, and my palms were full of sweat." at the end of that year, a group of top trainers in the past could not adapt to the use requirements of new equipment because they lacked information technology knowledge. Zhou Sheng was filled with emotion about the pain of transformation. What shocked him most was that his "master", a "gold medal artillery commander", could not be promoted to a higher level of sergeant because he could not keep up with the training progress. Looking at the "master" leaving sadly, Zhou Sheng woke up: to adapt to the transformation and upgrading of the army, not only the "cocoon" should be worn out on his hands, but also his brain should be honed, otherwise he will be ruthlessly eliminated. "As a successor of a meritorious company, you should have the courage to bite hard bones!" during that time, in order to understand a formula, Zhou Sheng asked the master of the military factory during the day and studied by himself at night, understanding and learning concepts from artillery structure to the teaching model of the command system; In order to remember the operation process, his pocket is full of self-made cards. When he encounters problems, he finds the corresponding cards at the first time. The thinner the books, the thicker the notes, and the more confident the war is. "Riding alone for thousands of miles" became "walking wheat city for thousands of miles", and the conductor Liu shencan also fell over. In a tactical drill in 2018, the superior strengthened the forces of land and aviation, engineers, reactance and other arms. When Liu Shenshen led the tank infantry combat vehicle mixed formation team to make a deep breakthrough, he found the "enemy" concealed fire point not far away. Liu's first reaction was that he chose to fight alone. He thought he would eat his opponent with advanced equipment, but he fell short. "With advanced equipment and smooth command, the inherent concepts rooted in the minds of officers and soldiers still exist." after returning to the camp, Liu shencan reviewed and reflected. Liu Shen closely followed the company's pace and launched a breakthrough to the highland of "ideological transformation". Insist on finding weaknesses in the task, check missing items in the performance and training, launch ideas at all levels, check items by themselves, and a "brainstorming" to break the shackles of narrow traditional ideas was staged in the company. The experience of "combining, combining, combining" without training, where can we achieve "success"? "Losing wheat city" also reminded the company commander: if we still command the drill in the way of "everyone sweeps the snow in front of the door" in the past, the "vehicles, horses and artillery" of the new tank company under the synthetic system will always fight alone, "a game of chess" will be difficult to really revitalize. Only by breaking the barrier can you clench your fingers into fists. On the one hand, without experience to follow, they groped and trained at the same time, and "combined" multiple actions such as attack and defense, mobility and support according to the battle process; On the other hand, they set up complex and changeable battlefield special situations in unfamiliar areas and organized high-intensity cross day and night comprehensive exercises to temper their overall combat capability. This army with profound spiritual heritage is ushering in an unprecedented transformation. In September this year, at the field training ground in the north of the Great Wall, a real soldier drill was in full swing: coordinated three-dimensional attack of multiple arms, accurate destruction of paralysis with the combination of ammunition and artillery, and joint victory with the integration of information and fire... The new system, new weapons and equipment, and new missions constantly gave the force "new" spirit. “
