He Ge is not satisfied with "qualified"
On August 7th, in Badanshan Village, Wumeng Town, Panzhou City, Guizhou Province, the villagers set off firecrackers, beat gongs and drums to welcome the happy announcement team carrying the plaque of "Home of First Class Hero". He Ge, the special battle platoon leader of the Tangshan Detachment of the Armed Police Hebei Provincial Corps, wearing a big red flower, walked in the middle of the team, and the rows of medals on his chest were particularly dazzling.
The news that "the old He’s soldier’s son has done another meritorious service" has spread throughout the small mountain villages. Relatives, friends, and neighbors in the neighborhood have been waiting at He’s Yuanba long ago to see the heroes. After enlisting in the army, He Ge has repeatedly made meritorious service in the army. This iron-clad Wumeng man has never let the villagers down.
"One, two, three...Grandpa, how come he has so many medals on his chest?" 7-year-old He Sien asked curiously in the crowd.
"Because your Uncle He Ge is good, he performed well in the army, and he won many awards in many competitions, winning glory for the country." He Zhengai explained.
Won the first-class merit once, the second-class merit once, and the third-class merit 5 times, won the Armed Police Force Non-commissioned Personnel Award, was named the Armed Police Force Senior Anti-terrorist Talent, and the Armed Police Force Top Ten Pacesetter Non-commissioned Officer... He Ge has been tempered and surpassed in high-intensity training. Behind the heavy medals, he has the courage to endure hardships, train diligently, strive to be a pioneer, and be determined to win.
Behind every medal of military merit, there is an unforgettable memory of He Ge.
The "Warrior Competition" international special forces competition is known as the top special forces competition. Special forces such as the US "Green Berets", Lebanon "Black Panther Commandos", and India "Black Cat Commandos" will participate.
The "Heaven Sword" commando team formed by He Ge and his comrades participated in the 9th "Warrior Competition" international special forces contest. On the last day of the game, under the scorching sun, when the "Heavenly Sword" commando team members carried more than 70 kilograms of "hostages" to complete the final 1,000-meter sprint, they couldn't help throwing down their helmets and hugging them after they passed the finish line Together, shouted in a rough voice.
This is the last subject of the game, so far they have secured the victory. Among the 5 players on the field, 3 have participated in all 7 courses, which means that they have been in high-load competitions for 4 consecutive days without a day off.
He Ge later said emotionally: "In this game,'death' is a common occurrence. People's inertia died in the cruel competition; what came alive was a brand new self, a self full of power. , A self who is fearless to face no matter how difficult it is."
In that game, Hege and his comrades won 3 firsts, 1 second, and 1 third among the 7 group subjects, and finally won the team championship. However, He Ge said that the most memorable thing for him was another martial arts experience.
That was the 8th "Warrior Competition" international special forces competition. Special warfare elites from various countries competed at their peak, and the competition went into a fever at the beginning.
The "Colt Super Shooter" Individual Classic is the opening battle of the competition, and it is also a contest for the King of Guns. Each team sent outstanding shooters to participate. More than 20 contestants from 12 countries have adopted a two-person team, eliminated round by round. This course requires shooting with rifles, shotguns, right-hand pistols, left-hand pistols, and two-hand pistols in sequence. The first to knock down the last target wins.
In the first round, He Ge did not give his opponent any chance and directly advanced with an overwhelming advantage. In the second round, Hoge hit the bullseye, and the steel target made a crisp sound, but it shook it but didn't fall. Hit again, the target still did not fall. The third bullet Hoge finally knocked down the target, but due to repeated shooting time was delayed, the opponent ended the game with a precise shot. Later, the referee came over and told Hege: "You don't need to knock down the target, just hit it."
On the podium, the champion was excited. When the camera was aimed at the runner-up Hoge, his face had no expression. He just took off the five-star red flag armband from his arm and stuck it on his chest, telling everyone in this silent way: Standing on the podium is a Chinese soldier.
At the same time, He Ge also told himself: Go upstream and fight again next year!
"I have never seen a soldier as desperately as He Ge." His comrades who are familiar with He Ge commented on him.
When he first enlisted in the army, He Ge was not favored because he was fatter and often delayed training. With a fierce force of refusing to admit defeat, Hoge started his "soldier assault."
The troop sets out for exercises at 6:15 every morning. Hege gets up at 5 a.m. to run a 5km first, and then comes back to follow the large troop to complete the 3km exercise. After finishing the call in the evening, he will run another 2 kilometers, plus two hours of squats, sit-ups, and push-ups "package". In the second year of his enlistment, He Ge broke the historical record of 5 kilometers, 16 minutes and 50 seconds in Tangshan Detachment of the Armed Police.
In the extreme training of "Devil Week", Hege self-pressurized, loaded 30 kg, and ran 480 kilometers in 4 days. The back waist was worn away by the backpack, the soles of the feet were worn away by the shoes, and the trousers, vest, and socks were glued to the flesh by blood scabs, and they could not be torn off.
Now, He Ge’s left and right hand mouths are as hard as rocks. This is the imprint of his “meat grinding iron” from drawing his gun thousands of times a day. “Only when the muscles form a memory, will he draw the gun to the shooting position. He Ge said that in order to make his index finger pull the trigger faster, he would put his hands on his waist when he was running every day, and each of his index fingers would do 900 trigger movements to help the fingers form. inertia.
Now, He Ge has become a platoon leader of the Tangshan detachment of the Armed Police. He still insists on running 5 kilometers more than his comrades every day. He often said that he is "dark day as day, rainy day as sunny, good Sunday, one day as two days."
Many people learned from He Ge and asked him what training skills he had. He Ge's answer was very modest: "It's nothing, just practice more." And on his mobile phone screensaver, he wrote this sentence: "Qiandiao Uncut pieces are jade, and hundreds of iron are made into steel."
During the shooting training, an egg was smashed 25 meters away. From drawing the gun to the end of the shooting, Hege only took 0.3 seconds. Shooting at a distance of 30 paces to play cards, Hege won't miss his guns, and he has also developed the "three bullets and one hole" stunt. He has been a soldier for many years and the gun has become a part of his body.
Returning to his hometown again, He Ge held the award certificate and said to his family: "The military medal is half of yours. Without your understanding, support and encouragement, I would not have achieved today's results."
After staying at home for only 3 days, Hege stepped on the train to return to the team again and began to prepare for the next "peak" special combat competition. He said, "Honor is a seed. I will cherish this honor in my heart and let it continue to take root and produce more fruits."
