In the midsummer season, on the Karakoram Plateau with an altitude of more than 4,300 meters, a synthetic tactical confrontation exercise of a Red Army Corps in the Xinjiang Military Region quietly kicked off.

After several rounds of competition, the two sides entered a stalemate.

At this moment, Liu Wei, the commander of the regiment's red side and the company commander of the "Tiger Third Company" of the first battalion, directed the convoy to avoid the fire point according to the picture returned by the drone, detoured to the blue army command vehicle, turned off the radio, and used the Simple communication means to command the convoy, while implementing feints, while quickly interspersed and infiltrated to complete the "decapitation" operation.

  The "Tiger Three Company" fought another beautiful battle, which is a microcosm of the successful transformation of the company led by Liu Wei.

"To be a soldier is to be a soldier"

  "Tiger Three Company" was founded in 1934.

In 1949, the largest and most intense battle of Lanzhou in the liberation of the Great Northwest, the third company took on the main task of conquering Shenjialing, fought with the enemy for more than 10 hours, repelled more than 10 counterattacks by the enemy, and finally planted the red flag of victory on Shenjialing. main peak.

After the war, the First Field Army awarded the three companies the honorary title of "Heroes Company of Attacking Tigers".

Since then, the officers and soldiers of the "Tiger Three Company" have continued to carry forward the "Tiger Spirit" for decades.

  Since joining the army for 14 years, Liu Wei has always maintained a "tiger spirit" and participated in many competitions at all levels, winning 13 first prizes.

In 2017, Liu Wei led the officers and soldiers of the Red Army to represent the Chinese Army to participate in the "Safe Environment" Nuclear, Biochemical Reconnaissance Team Competition of the "International Military Competition-2017", and served as the commander and chemical scout of China's first car group.

In order to accurately identify various poisons, Liu Wei insisted on working overtime every day before and after meals, and sometimes he would memorize the characteristics of poisons while talking in his sleep at night. An "expert" who completes a whole set of actions inside.

In the end, in the chemical reconnaissance of the cycling race, Liu Wei broke the world record with a time of 34.95 seconds. The car group won the first place in the single group competition, shooting competition and relay competition, and won the team championship. Liu Wei was appointed by the organizing committee of the event. Will be named "Best Scout", awarded first-class merit.

  "When you are a soldier, you must be a sharp soldier, and when you practice martial arts, you must be skilled in martial arts."

Upholding this belief, Liu Weidong practiced three-nine and Xia practiced three-fu, improving his skills in hard training, and pursuing a wonderful life in overcoming difficulties.

  From the champion of the competition to the group training instructor, it is not a small "hurdle".

During the training interval, Liu Wei studied the teaching method assiduously, and summed up the training experience based on the practice of competition.

In 2019, Liu Wei served as the coach of the "Safe Environment" Nuclear Biochemical Reconnaissance Competition of China's "International Military Competition-2019". Under his words and deeds, the training results of the team members improved by leaps and bounds. Good results in three individual events of the relay race, and won the team championship.

"Attack like a tiger, invincible in battle"

  In March last year, Liu Wei stood high in the snow-capped mountains, watching the fleet of big red flowers in the distance approaching slowly, his heart was full of excitement and anxiety.

This is a long-awaited "gift" - a new type of protective assault vehicle is fully deployed in the company.

  In order to make the new equipment into combat effectiveness as soon as possible, Liu Wei led the officers and soldiers to carry forward the "tiger spirit" of "attack like a tiger, invincible" and face the difficulties.

They overcame the difficulty of having no training experience and issued a military order of "training new equipment for half a year, and forming combat effectiveness within a year".

  First Sergeant Chen Defeng is the longest-serving soldier in the "Tiger Third Company" and is proficient in various types of weapons and equipment.

Liu Wei was entrusted with the important task and established the "Chen Defeng Studio", and selected several highly educated cadres and backbones to assist Chen Defeng in researching new equipment.

  In order to figure out the operation and use of the new equipment as soon as possible, Liu Wei and the members of the "Chen Defeng Studio" were riveted on the training ground all day long.

In response to the immature technology of the company drivers and the high risk of vehicle loss, Liu Wei used his brain: "Driving simulators are selling very well on the Internet. Can we apply the simulator to equipment training?" With the help of the simulator The quality and efficiency of the company's driving training have been significantly improved, and 15 qualified drivers have been trained in just 3 months.

A few months later, the "Tiger Third Company" won the first place in the three categories of assault vehicle driving, sniper rifle shooting, and night observation and reporting in the regiment's "new equipment exchange competition".

"Never admit defeat in the face of setbacks"

  In the middle of the night two years ago, a deafening siren suddenly sounded on the field training ground of the Third Company. The officers and soldiers of the "Tiger Third Company" woke up from their sleep and quickly completed preparations for dispatch.

This combat readiness pull is different from the past. The target area is a snowy plateau thousands of kilometers away. Liu Wei, who has just arrived as the company commander for the third consecutive term, leads the officers and soldiers to travel day and night to arrive at the designated location on time.

What Liu Wei didn't expect was that the assessment team immediately issued a new action order.

  "We started too hastily at the beginning, and the loss of physical strength was particularly serious when we went to the plateau at the beginning." After two years, Sergeant Cai Chao still remembers the key point control operation.

In the end, the assessment team reported that although the "Tiger Three Company" arrived at its destination on time, it failed to take control.

  "Never admit defeat in the face of setbacks. This is the soul of the Tiger Spirit." Liu Wei decided to turn around.

Liu Wei and his instructor Ming Shengyong convened the backbone of the company to study the "Outline of Army Grassroots Construction" repeatedly and formulate a training plan suitable for the plateau.

"Physical training at the plateau must not be reckless. It must be scientific and methodical." Liu Wei tailored a physical training package for each officer and soldier based on the test results and health status of the officers and soldiers.

  After a period of exploration, Liu Wei compiled the "Quick Mountaineering Manual in Alpine Mountains" in combination with the special environment of the plateau and the training tasks of the company.

This manual has been recognized by the officers and soldiers of the whole regiment. Many brothers and units have applied the "Z" and "S" mountaineering methods explored by Liu Wei to training courses such as capturing and controlling important places, and have received good results.
