People's Daily Online, Guangzhou, July 28 (Huang Zijuan, Lu Zhangliang, Zhong Yufang) In the hinterland of Lingnan in June, the sun was like fire, and a five-kilometer armed cross-country competition was underway fiercely. The most eye-catching one was the one that always maintained the lead. The detachment, they held high the battle flag of the "hard-boned six companies", and crossed the finish line first. Walking off the training ground, Feng Jie, the instructor of the company, said: "At the beginning of this year, Chairman Xi wrote to us, encouraging us to keep in mind the goal of strengthening the army, pass on the red gene, practice hard to win, carry forward the'hard-boned spirit', and build the company. Be stronger. During the Revolutionary War, we had a firm conviction and made great military exploits in the smoke of gunfire; from the smoke of war, we must inherit the gene of loyalty to follow the party, and be the'hard bone' fighters who obey and follow the party. !"
The hard-bone warriors always face the party, and the "hard" character war flag is red. In the interview with the "hard-boned six company", one feeling became more and more profound: the "hardness" of the six company is a kind of hardship that the party flag refers to and the military flag points to. For more than 80 years, the officers and soldiers' loyalty in observing and following the party has not changed, setting up a never-fading banner for the entire army.
Hard-bone tracing: iron heart to Dang Yong
There is such a long-received sentence in the "Hard-boned Sixth Company": "The iron heart follows the party's command, and never yields to the hard-boned." In the 1960s, the Sixth Company faced a complex situation, focused on strengthening the loyalty of officers and soldiers, and did not forget to study in preparation for battle. Its profound theoretical literacy became a shining business card of the company.
Times have changed, and the tradition of using the party’s innovative theory to create souls and educate people has not changed. After the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the company immediately organized officers and soldiers to study the spirit of Chairman Xi’s important speech, and theoretical study became commonplace: the news on the wall of the board contained the learning dynamics; the speech video was broadcast on TV; the learning experience was exchanged on the Internet; The sound of reading and newspaper reading...
"In the company, studying history and studying theories have become a new trend." Instructor Feng Jie said that the company insisted on reading daily, weekly commentary, monthly recommendation, and quarterly purchase. The officers and soldiers rely on the magic weapon of "reading". The ideological roots of being loyal to the party and obeying the party's command will make the mind clearer and stand firmer. No matter where you are, as long as conditions permit, reading has become a daily task for the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company.
In August 2019, the brigade carried out a practical activity on the theme of "Don't forget the original intention and then the Long March". On the way back to the Long March, the sixth company platoon leader Gao Bowen thought and studied along the way with theoretical books, and wrote a large theoretical notebook. After returning to the camp, Gao Bowen represented his unit to participate in the group army theoretical backbone training and won the first place with a full score. He said that the re-take of the Long March this time is a review of the party’s development process. It deepens the feelings for the party and continues the soul of faith.
As Gao Bowen said, the theory of officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company is always sentimental, full of affection, and full of enthusiasm. It also writes daily work feelings, life feelings, growth feelings, etc. on the study notes, and uses theories to answer the ideological confusions usually encountered. . Nowadays, when it comes to theoretical hotspots, everyone in the company can have a profound experience.
Liu Sishi, a college student soldier, was uncomfortable with the intense training life just after he got off. He often stood guard and helped the kitchen because of skipping classes. He yawned as soon as he entered the classroom. Everyone gave him the nickname "Class truant."
The then instructor Xiong Wei drew him to the study room to educate Liu Sishi with stories of struggle in the new era, which deeply moved him. From then on, Liu Sishi made up his mind to catch up. After the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Liu Si was eager to learn the spirit of the grand meeting. Not only did he honorably become the spirit speaker of the company's 19th National Congress, he was also commended by the theater army as the "star of theoretical study." After being discharged from the army, he was admitted to the civil service with his profound theoretical knowledge.
"It is the fine tradition of the Sixth Company to'learn theories and educate people'. They always convey and study the spirit of the Party Central Committee's instructions at the first time." The brigade leader said that in the revolutionary war years, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company regarded the firm belief in the party with iron hearts as " "The root of life", they fought bloody battles in the test of life and death; entering the new era, they regarded the party as a "heirloom" of cohesive strength.
"To carry forward the'hard-bone spirit' in the new era is to forge our company into a strong company that listens to and follows the party..." This afternoon, the sixth company soldier Wang Donglin's speech in the soldier hall won everyone's applause. This year, after Chairman Xi gave the letter to the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company, everyone scrambled to circulate and copy them in mind. At the same time, the company organized officers and soldiers to discuss each sentence in the letter, turning the chairman's affectionate entrustment into an inexhaustible motivation to join the army.
The company extensively carried out post practice activities of "learning from Jinping and strengthening the army and being a good soldier in the new era" and mass practice activities of "strengthening the army with me and mission on the shoulders". Everyone set goals and wrote promises.
"Faced with all kinds of temptations, what kind of values should we have when we walk out of the campus? When I was a soldier in the'hard-boned Sixth Company', I understood a truth, and it is right to follow the party!" Peking University Yanyuan, Centennial Lecture Hall, a student The speech on "The Color of Youth" was passionate. His name is Li Bo, a master student at Peking University. What made the audience more concerned was his other identity-a veteran of the "hard-bone Sixth Company". Li Bo said that Liulian is another "Beijing University" in his life, where he fastened the first button in his life.
The Sixth Company is a melting pot of ideas. It is not only Li Bo who strengthened his ideals and convictions and made many achievements in the Sixth Company. In recent years, 5 people from the company have been tested and promoted, 6 people have been commended as outstanding Communists, and 6 retired fighters have taken up positions in government units.
Bone skills: determined to win and sharpen the edge
The Sixth Company was forged by the blood and fire of the battlefield. The company's heavy battle history has imprinted the warfare deep in the souls of officers and soldiers. They know that how cruel the real battlefield is and how important it is to sharpen the blade.
In 2017, the brigade was just formed, and the sixth company, which was not yet full moon, began a confrontation exercise with the reconnaissance company of its brothers. The sixth company formed a special operations team with a squad as the main body to undertake reconnaissance and harassment tasks. Unexpectedly, the team leader Lin Xinxiang led the special operations team as soon as it entered the forefront of the attack, when it was captured by the advanced reconnaissance equipment of the brother unit and "made dumplings."
Insufficient informatization literacy, lack of coordination awareness, and unfamiliar use of reconnaissance equipment... After returning, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company looked for problems and determined measures in the painful review and review, and made up their minds to refine their weapons. In the confrontation exercise not long afterwards, the two sides met again by accident. Lin Xinxiang made frequent moves and pointed directly at the "enemy" command post. This battle, victory!
"War will not choose the environment and climate. We must adapt to this difference as soon as possible to get back to the best condition." The company organized a 5km cross-country assessment for the first time after the company moved. The average performance of the whole company was slower than before by a full 3 minutes. Ring the alarm bell. At the training situation analysis meeting, the then company commander Hu Chi took the lead in reflection. They continue to challenge, train and explore, carry out heat-resistance training normally, and transform the past pure core strength training into a functional coordination training that combines speed and strength, has rapid response capabilities, and can adapt to various battlefield environments. In two weeks, the physical function of the officers and soldiers has improved significantly.
From traditional infantry to armored infantry under the new type of army, from single ground combat to land-sea amphibious combat, the Sixth Company has undergone many transformations and remodeling, breaking out of cocoons and becoming butterflies many times, and honed the officers and soldiers of the company who did not shrink and dared to enter the deep water. quality.
In the 1970s, the Sixth Company was the first to study the squad attack under the conditions of "three defenses", and explored new ways of "five different" from the past tactics; in the 1980s, they were the first to explore the enemy's and Breaking obstacles and other issues, creating new methods of tactics to open up a "tree-shaped" pathway... In the face of reforms and reshaping, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company knew that only by holding on to the pain of "rebirth" and enduring the pain of "joint joints" can we move forward. Go bigger.
——Sergeant Cui Yuan was transferred to work as a sniper after the reform. In order to adapt to the "new partner" more quickly, he carefully studied and studied with the sniper rifle every day, read the information carefully, consulted the outstanding snipers of the reconnaissance battalion, and was shooting live ammunition. Constantly proofread and explore;
——Sergeant Xu Mingming transferred from an ordnance officer to an automatic grenade launcher shooter. In order to master shooting skills such as "quick aim, steady follow, and clever strike" as soon as possible, others practiced it again, he practiced it ten times, and finally found a useful set Training methods to improve shooting performance...
However, the challenge of transformation is not only that: the new equipment has no teaching plans and no instructors, and the training is difficult to carry out; the new organization has broken the traditional training model, and everything is still groping.
"There is no experience to follow, let's find a way!" At the first training situation analysis meeting after the shift, Hu Chi, the then company commander, put the problem on the stage and decided to find the "truth" from the hard training: During the training, company commander Hu Chi led the branch committee to learn and practice first. During the day, he drilled into the tank for more than 40 degrees to practice practical operations. One practice is a whole day; at night, he worked overtime to organize research on tactics and preparation of relevant teaching plans; Each soldier set a small goal, learned more theory every day, practiced more hands-on practice, and did not spend the night training problems. Four months later, the company was given a tactical assessment task for the leader, which lasted 2 days and 1 night, successfully tested the combat capability under the new organization and handed in an excellent answer sheet.
Liulian insists on transforming the mind first, researching and training first, and constantly seeking new growth points and breakthrough points for combat effectiveness.
"Pay attention to the whole platoon, form a battle formation of'one', and quickly occupy the offensive position!" In the hot summer, a comprehensive inspection battle of armored infantry platoon shooting started in the hinterland of the mountains and forests.
With the order of the third platoon leader Gao Bowen, the four armored vehicles were like tigers coming out of the mountains, straight to the "enemy" position.
"Found enemy group skirmishers and enemy rocket launchers!" "323, execute!" In the command vehicle, Gao Bowen quickly analyzed and issued orders according to changes in the enemy's situation. He said, "Now that there is one more vehicle in the battle, the test of tactics, coordination, and individual soldiers is an increase of the Nth power."
The newly prepared lower platoon tactical lesson drill demonstration is the latest task of the Sixth Company.
Coordination of shifts and platoons, coordination of people and vehicles, and alternate use of more than ten kinds of firearms... After the 20-minute fierce battle, the company commander Zhao Song looked solemn. The crew pays too much attention to shooting, and the enemy's awareness is not strong; the use of firearms is not scientific enough, and the coordination is not close...One by one problems surfaced.
Seeing Zhao Song's frowning brows, the officers and soldiers knew that this comprehensive exercise was not ideal and that the "old-hand style" encountered new problems!
How to improve the precise coordination and overall combat capability of the organizational squad platoon under the new organization? How to make various weapon platforms form a synergy and release maximum combat effectiveness? That night, the Liulian meeting room was brightly lit, and Zhao Song led the backbone to review the problems exposed during the exercise one by one.
"Traditional tactics cannot keep up with the pace of transformation, and the concept of combat stays in the old infantry thinking." "The new recruits are not strong in coordination and the veterans rely too much on personal abilities."... A drill made the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company deeply realize that change is imminent.
For several days, they trained during the day and resumed the game at night, with one difficulty and one difficulty attacking, and one problem after another. They focused on practicing coordination, strategy, and command. In the end, the live ammunition inspection was unanimously praised by the acceptance team.
Clenching your fingers into a punch at the critical moment originates from walking side by side in normal training. Since the adjustment and reform, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company have taken the initiative to carry out joint learning and joint training with a certain landing ship detachment of the Navy, a certain air force brigade, a certain coastal defense brigade, a certain armed police detachment and other services and units, participating in the exploration of battlefield information sharing and close range Various practical tasks such as fire support, joint command and communication, etc., have obvious effects in joint exercises and training.
Without frowning before the transformation, the sharp knife is hardened more sharply. In recent years, no matter how the environmental conditions change and how the combat missions are adjusted, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company have insisted on treating training as a battle, connecting with actual combat one by one, and daring to quickly "change brains" and "turn around": actively carry out Innovate training methods, study tactics, divide training topics into platoons, explore ways of training with one specialty, multiple skills, and multiple skills, and realize that more than 85% of the company’s officers and soldiers are proficient in more than two major combat majors; actively promote the military Democracy. After completing major tasks, exercises, and competitions, officers and soldiers will be called to analyze the training situation, identify shortcomings, reveal shortcomings, and improve the quality and effectiveness of training; carry out the activities of "Researching and Winning Strong Enemies" to explore and research. More than 10 new topics, such as rapid assembly during combat training and coordination of vehicles on and off at night, accelerate the improvement of the company’s preparation level...
"The target frame has a regular pattern to follow. As long as the gunner gets it right, it is easy to get good results, but can such a standard stand the test of war?" Artillery technician Zheng Xixin pointed out sharply that the enemy on the battlefield. There are no rules for the target, but the traditional training equipment "fixes the target sequence" and "fixed the target area" does not meet the requirements of actual combat.
It is better to be good in the storm than to be good in the calm. Under the leadership of Zheng Xixin, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company worked together to tackle key problems and independently developed a new type of laser quick sight, which not only enhanced the randomness of the target, but also increased the moving targets at different angles.
During the first training, many gunners came home. Summing up experience in failure, finding methods in practice, after a period of intensive training, everyone's performance has steadily improved. Subsequently, in the brigade’s live-fire assessment, the Sixth Company successively won the first place in sea and land combat shooting.
“The closer the training is to actual combat, the more confident you will be to win.” The brigade commander Su Xiangding said that no matter how environmental conditions change or how the combat tasks are adjusted, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company always maintain a “fighting with words and deeds.” The normal state of the industry is to consolidate a hard foundation in real preparation and enhance hard power in innovation and breakthroughs, so that this sharp knife will be sharpened faster and faster.
Hard-bone style: bloody obedience and strong style
A company of heroes, a strong "fortress".
This hero company, which was born in the war of resistance against Japan and grew up in challenges and trials, has survived the wind and rain, but has always been advanced and has been strong for a long time. An important reason is that the party branch is a strong "battle fortress".
In the Sixth Company, cadres and party members are in charge, and fighters are in charge, and there are no party members who don’t care; there are no party members who are in charge of fighters, party members, and branch secretaries...
The company insisted on holding two "regular meetings" of organizational life for 43 years: the transfer of cadres and the holding of "reception meetings", centering on political, strengthening quality, practicing and winning suggestions and giving suggestions; completing major tasks and achieving progress and holding "celebration" "Revealing the shortcomings", to find shortcomings in the investigation, help party members and cadres to cultivate political determination, strengthen political responsibility, and always maintain their political qualities.
In June last year, Hu Chi, the old company commander, was promoted to the brigade reconnaissance battalion commander. The company held a party meeting as usual, and organized 21 party members and 3 representatives of the masses to "wash the dust" for the old company commander. From recruit representatives to veteran party members, the criticisms were unrelenting and hit the nail on the head. They pointed out “insufficient trust in the squad leader and insufficient delegation of authority” and “five-to-six-six in place, not strict implementation”. Hu immediately blushed after listening. Wet eyes with tears, and choked up: "Thank you for your criticism, these hot sounds will continue to inspire my growth and progress."
Similarly, the company commander Zhao Songhuai was full of ambitions and soon after he took office, the company held a "wind meeting" for him. "Too self-centered and rarely listen to the opinions of others." "When something goes wrong, I just open my mouth and criticize, lacking human touch." "I am too strong, there is no discussion, no room for everything, and too little communication with everyone"... Behind each comment, there are specific things. The language is sharp and the problem is straightforward. There is no flattery.
That night, Zhao Song could not sleep. For several days, he was even embarrassed to see everyone. After learning from the painful experience, Zhao Song quickly adjusted his mentality, formulated a rectification plan for himself, and asked everyone to supervise.
Today, these 78 suggestions have been neatly written in Zhao Song's notebook, carried with him, and always encouraged himself.
"Soldiers do not get out of platoons, party members do not get out of teams, and cadres do not get out of branches." This is the management experience of the Sixth Company. When there is something wrong with a party member, the party branch will look at it with a "microscope" and pick up a "magnifying glass" to correct it. No matter who it is, the "four accounts" of thought, work, life and style must be cleared.
“It’s a tradition not to say good things in front of your face or behind your back, relying on organization to manage cadres and strict systems to manage party members. This tradition has been in the company for 43 years.” Instructor Feng Jie said that party members and cadres are the “leading goose” in company building. Their role is played well, the branch fortress is strengthened, and the company will be more prosperous.
At the beginning of this year, the company had a recommended quota for studying health workers. On the branch committee, the secretary and deputy secretary agreed: "Corporate Fan Zhengfeng does not have outstanding professional skills. Sending to school is an opportunity to provide him with a platform for growth and progress..."
However, Tang Xiong, the non-commissioned officer's branch committee, had a different opinion: "As a newly promoted non-commissioned officer, Fan Zhengfeng's military quality is not too hard and his daily performance is unconvincing, so he should work harder to make up for the shortcomings."
For Tang Xiong, who wants results and good reputation, the two leaders of the company are both "fear" and "love". "Fear" he is outspoken and sometimes makes people unable to come to Taiwan; "Love" he cares about company building, his opinions are pertinent and his suggestions are reasonable.
"Each position is related to team development, and sending school itself is also a guide..." Tang Xiongli Chen said his own reasons, and suggested recommending a comprehensive corporal Liao Fei as a candidate. In the end, the Economic Support Committee studied and adopted Tang Xiong's opinions.
Regardless of cadres and fighters, a ruler measures the length of each person; regardless of party members and the masses, a standard is right and wrong. This is an iron law of Liulian.
Last year, the sergeant submitted an application to the party branch of China Development Bank. Unexpectedly, it was stuck in the democratic evaluation.
Because he is good at art design and production, Xiang CDB has been responsible for the construction and improvement of the honor room and activity room for a long time. "I thought I had made some contributions to the company. Everyone will see that I have no credit and hard work. Give me a chance..."
"Everyone is a builder of the company. You can't take advantage of your work. This is irresponsible to yourself, and even more irresponsible to the company." The squad leader pointed out that he was not well integrated into the group and his training barely reached the standard. After waiting for many questions, Xiang Kaixing was speechless and realized that there was still some gap between himself and the party member standards.
Subsequently, with the help of everyone, Xiangkai Bank strengthened study and training, step by step approaching the appearance of party members. Some time ago, Xiang Development Bank, who was on vacation, received a notice from the company: After research by the party branch, he was determined to be a key training object.
In October last year, a sergeant was lazy in a row during environmental sanitation. After the troops were brought back, Tang Xiong, the leader of the first party group, immediately convened a party group meeting to educate him. The sergeant quickly realized his mistake and sincerely reflected on the whole platoon of party members.
Liulian insists on strictly implementing the organizational system, and has always achieved "the organizational system is disrupted and the system is not chaotic; the staff is scattered and the organization is not scattered; the dots and lines are longer, and the standards are not lowered."
In July last year, during the camping and training period, the branch committee members were scattered at 4 points, and each point had less than half of the party members. Some branch committees suggested that the company’s development momentum is very good this month, and the branch committee will push it back, but the branch secretary Feng Jie is firm: “The party’s organizational life system has regulations and must be strictly implemented!” They used the video system. Form, a special branch committee was opened.
The "fortress" is strong, and the company is as strong as steel. The Sixth Company is like a big family, closely uniting officers and soldiers. On holidays, party members stand guard and cook for the soldiers; in the camp, outside training and even in the exercise field, the party branch insists on giving the soldiers a collective birthday; visiting the relatives of the martyrs on traditional festivals, or expressing condolences to the families of the fighting heroes by letters and calls. ...
Care in life, support in work, and help in difficulties. The officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company believed that in peacetime, we can help each other and share weal and woe, and in wartime can we work together, live and die together, and win against powerful enemies.
Corporal Yan Shuqing participated in a contest organized by a higher level. When his mother had a car accident, the company's party branch promptly moved forward to carry out ideological assistance and applied for financial subsidies to his superiors. The concern of the organization inspired Yan Shuqing's motivation for Jingwu to make contributions. He adjusted his mentality in time, dared not be afraid of strong players, and courageously competed for the first place, and won excellent results with his comrades.
Organizational cohesion and charisma are reflected in the details of life. At the beginning of 2018, the first squad of six companies participated in the "Lingnan Vanguard" competition. In the middle of the night, shortly after Tang Xiong, a member of the Sergeant Party, lay down, the sky suddenly rained and the clothes outside the tent were wet. In order to prevent the team members from wearing wet clothes, Tang Xiong searched for firewood and dried the team members' clothes and outfits one by one. After staying up all night, he transferred to a new round of assessment. Afterwards, someone asked Tang Xiong why he didn't ask everyone to bake clothes together? Tang Xiong replied, "As a party member, I should give more than others!"
Soon after, Tang Xiong returned to his hometown to get married. On the day of the wedding, the officers and soldiers of the entire company gave him a special gift, who was thousands of miles away. The non-commissioned officer entrusted by the party branch to attend the wedding expressed sincere condolences to him. The company also sent him good wishes in the form of a video, which made him deeply deeply. Moved.
Ride the sea and tread the waves, fought the danger and sharpen the sword. In the Sixth Company, the branch will always lead the team. At a critical stage in a real-force confrontation exercise, Feng Jie was in charge. The brigade party committee considers whether to reduce the task of the Sixth Company? However, the company's party branch was determined and took the initiative to take forward defense tasks. Feng Jie led the officers and soldiers to survey the terrain, study the enemy's situation, formulate plans, set up troops, and defeated the Red Army's attacks 7 times.
In the assessment of martial arts, the branch committee ran the first club and shot the first shot. For difficult subjects, the chief officer drove the first car and took the first boat... Platoon leader Li Xichao was promoted from the company as a soldier and has always insisted that the training standard is higher than that Soldiers have stricter requirements than soldiers, and they usually pay more than soldiers. He said: "If you don't dare to yell'look at me', no one will'listen to you', and you won't be able to'follow you' even on the battlefield."
The wind is righteous, people are united, and the heart is united. In the past three years, the company has elected 56 non-commissioned officers and 18 party members. It has honored 76 people for meritorious service, and has been judged hard and unsuccessful. The officers and soldiers said: Although it was very painful and exhausting in the Sixth Company, there were people who loved and felt warm, and the pain was worth it.
During the revolutionary war years, the Sixth Company forged formed a ruthless force that overwhelmed all enemies, an indomitable tenacity, and the stamina to persist through. Striding forward on a new journey, Liulian keeps the leader's entrustment in mind, carries on the mission of the times, and proves with practical actions that the hard-bone character is always vigorous: "Challenge unsuccessfully, surpass unsatisfactorily, and fight forever!"
