Discovering the target! "Private Deng Guangzhe stared closely ahead in the silent deep mountain forest. After close range reconnaissance, he finally discovered the "enemy" front-line command post and immediately transmitted the coordinates and directions back. This is a scene that happened during the reconnaissance and confrontation training of a certain brigade of the 80th Group Army some time ago. Deng Guangzhe, a new recruit who had been enlisted for less than 5 months, successfully completed the task assigned by the organization. After the review, the instructor of the company, Zhang Haoxiang, affirmed the performance of the officers and soldiers, and specifically praised several new recruits such as Deng Guangzhe. The author understands that Deng Guangzhe has demonstrated good military and psychological qualities since the beginning of the lower platoon. At the end of last year, the higher authorities organized cross day and night live reconnaissance training. Considering that this training will be conducted in a complex and unfamiliar area with relatively high security risks, Zhang Haoxiang initially planned to arrange new recruits to study and observe in the rear when deploying the mission. But after thinking about it, he thought it was a rare opportunity for training, so he discussed with the platoon leader and decided to adjust the composition of the reconnaissance team appropriately, including new recruits and helping them broaden their horizons through a mentoring approach. On the day of the training, the weather suddenly changed. Zhang Haoxiang immediately organized a safety risk assessment and conducted safety education. He repeatedly reminded the new recruits to report any problems to the cadres and backbone in a timely manner, fearing that they might have accidents due to lack of experience. At the beginning, everything went smoothly. However, in the second reconnaissance operation, Deng Guangzhe's team reported that the team was discovered and counterattacked by the "enemy". During the evacuation and transfer process, Deng Guangzhe disappeared without a trace! It was dark and the forest was dense. Zhang Haoxiang was extremely anxious and immediately organized personnel to search for Deng Guangzhe. Just when everyone was searching for nothing and at a loss, Deng Guangzhe suddenly appeared and brought back key "enemy situation" information, which made his comrades who had just had a false alarm look at him with new eyes. Originally, when Deng Guangzhe realized he had fallen behind, he did not feel scared or panicked. Instead, he hid and calmly recalled various methods, plans, and emergency measures, and quickly came up with countermeasures. He took out a compass and map, determined the direction and route, groped his way in the darkness, and finally found the "base camp". He also recorded the coordinates of several "enemy" outposts along the way. I didn't expect the new recruits to teach us a lesson, "" Deng Guangzhe is so good. It would be great if I could safely return, not to mention reconnaissance of 'enemy situations'. "" The new recruits now should not be underestimated. They have performed well in this kind of training for the first time and have a promising future. "Listening to everyone's discussion, Zhang Haoxiang fell into contemplation and had new thoughts on how to lead troops - the new recruits now have high cultural level, rich experience, active thinking and other characteristics, but they have an adaptation period for military training and life. Therefore, many leaders lack the trust they deserve and always feel that they are not mature enough and need to be taught step by step. These actions may seem caring, but in reality, they are not reassuring and invisibly limit the growth of new recruits. Taking Deng Guangzhe as an example, he worked as a firefighter before joining the army, and his physical fitness ranks among the top among new recruits, making him a good candidate that the battalion and company cadres pay close attention to. After joining the team, when encountering some important tasks, the squad leader and backbone always habitually take on the big picture and "protect" Deng Guangzhe behind them. Some company cadres also turn a blind eye to this. This training made Zhang Haoxiang realize that excessive protection and care for new recruits is actually a constraint on their growth. Being a soldier means preparing to go to the battlefield. Without going through a thousand trials and tribulations, where do steel warriors come from? After making up his mind, Zhang Haoxiang organized the team leader and backbone to investigate the situation on a class by class basis, and held a joint meeting to study solutions. The growth of new recruits requires both successful motivation and the tempering of setbacks. We cannot be constrained just because we are afraid of them making mistakes. We need to actively build platforms to help them strengthen their combat mindset and promote rapid growth. With everyone reaching a consensus, change will happen. Organize physical training, overcome the tendency of "playground oriented", and bring the team to the mountainous area for continuous implementation; Carry out professional training, coaches should reasonably set up "enemy situation" and tactical background, and improve the emergency response ability of officers and soldiers; Situation preparedness education, introducing case analysis, allowing new recruits to step onto the podium and share their personal insights... stepping out of the "comfort zone" and getting rid of the "protective circle". The new recruits showed more enthusiasm and energy in their training work, without anyone complaining about hardship or fatigue. On the contrary, they felt that the more experience they received, the faster they grew. The veteran of the company has also been deeply infected, taking the initiative to take on responsibilities and fully playing the role of a model leader. The atmosphere of "learning from each other and helping the super" throughout the company is becoming increasingly strong. (New Society)
