The "Eagle of the Yi
  Nationality " that "Builds a Nest" for Missiles-Shaz, the commander of an engineering brigade of the Rocket Army

[Struggling to make the army the most beautiful revolutionary soldier in the new era]

  In the early summer, in a quiet and majestic mountain, under the thick rock layers, there was a fiery scene: the tall rock drill kept roaring, all kinds of construction machinery shuttled back and forth... The missile engineer was in a tall, dark skinned area. Under the command of the military officers, they were scattered on several work surfaces, and the construction was carried out in an intense and orderly manner to create missile positions that could be "hidden, hit, resisted, and destroyed".

  This officer is Shaojia, commander of a certain engineering brigade of the Rocket Army from Daliang Mountain, Sichuan. He fought against rocks for 18 years, "built a nest" for missiles, and grew from a "raiser baby" to a "top ten sharp swordsman" of the Rocket Army, a representative of the National People's Congress, and was hailed as the "Eagle of Yi nationality" who built a nest with swords.

"The party is in the heart, and the whole body is full of energy"

  "I grew up listening to the story of the'Yihai Alliance', so I have longed for the army since I was a child, and have always wanted to be a soldier." Shaojia said. At the age of 17, Shaojia finally joined the army as he wished. "On the day I left Daliang Mountain, the mother of the party member Qiangwan urged me to join the party in the army."

  When I first arrived in the army, Shazi Guai didn't recognize many Chinese characters. The most troublesome thing was theoretical study, thinking about the method of "slip". The instructor asked him to talk: "Every day he shouts to listen to the party and follow the party. The party’s innovative theory is the party’s words. What about joining the party if you don’t learn the theory well?" Shazai was ashamed after hearing this, and since then he has studied the theory seriously with a dictionary. In the thought report, he wrote: The party is full of energy in its heart.

  The task of demoulding complex sections was taken at one time. Because the concrete released a lot of heat when it solidified, the temperature in the narrow diffusion chamber was as high as 60 degrees Celsius. "I'll go first!" Sandy slapped a sledgehammer in his hand, and got into the working surface with ice in his mouth. "The scorching air poured into the nasal cavity, and the whole body was as uncomfortable as a needle pricked by fire, and my eyes were so fascinated by sweat that I couldn't open them." Shaojia recalled that in this huge "oven", he and his comrades were neatly arranged. After working for an afternoon, I finally gnawed off this "hard bone".

  "I will never forget the construction work on a plateau with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters in 2005. Every minute and every second at that time was a physical and psychological extreme challenge." Shaojia and his comrades overcame the various conditions brought about by the alpine hypoxia environment. This kind of difficulty, successfully completed the task. Back then, Shazai joined the party. Faced with the bright party flag, 20-year-old Shazai secretly made up his mind: "Go wherever the party calls, and do whatever the party calls it."

"Only innovation can solve the problem"

  At the beginning of 2020, construction of a national defense position was launched across the board. "There is broken rock ahead!" One afternoon, as soon as Shaojia entered the excavation work surface, the fourth-level sergeant chief He Sanzhong couldn't wait to report to him. Faced with the unexpected "blocking the way", Shazai carefully checked the situation with a flashlight, and immediately called the technical backbone to hold the "Zhuge Liang Meeting". By analyzing the trend of rock formations and the nature of the rock together with his comrades, Shaojia proposed the innovative construction method of "three sprays and two hangings, assault support".

  For 18 years in the army, Shazijia went through the South and North wars, and experienced countless construction problems. It is precisely with the spirit of innovation that he and his comrades repeatedly broke through the barriers.

  A certain project has heavy tasks, tight schedules, and high technical standards. At the beginning of the construction, officers and soldiers encountered construction "bottlenecks" such as long man-machine hoisting cycles, difficult process interleaving, and difficult control of drilling and blasting effects. Shazixia led the officers and soldiers to change the traditional construction operation mode, innovate and integrate construction elements, optimize the configuration of main equipment such as smart rock drilling rigs and concrete sprayers, setting a new record for tunneling construction.

  "In the past, steel drill sledgehammers were often used in construction, and high-strength manual operations were high-risk and low-efficiency. Now we must rely on scientific and technological forces to press'fast' for the mechanization, informatization, and intelligence of national defense construction. Enter the key'.” During the two sessions this year, Shaojia submitted a proposal on relying on technological innovation to promote the quality and efficiency of national defense construction.

  "Only innovation can solve the problem", Shazixia organized 13 sets of construction technology manuals compiled by officers and soldiers, which effectively assisted professional training and construction tasks; innovative and improved sliding concrete divider, drilling and blasting construction charge control system, etc. 6 This technological achievement is showing great power in the construction battlefield.

  "A confidant of officers and soldiers"

  "If someone desperately wants to protect you, such a person is worthy of respect and entrustment. Captain Sha is such a person." Said Wang Shengdong, the squad leader of the third company who has fought with Shazi for more than 5 years. Falling a large stone with a grinding plate, the broken stones splashed on the ground "slapped" soldier Yan Weiheng into the puddle. When everyone was in shock, Shaojia jumped into the water first, rescued the injured Yan Weiheng, and ran all the way back into the health clinic.

  "The confidant of officers and soldiers, the eldest brother of soldiers" is Shajia's creed of leading troops. There are many Tibetan college student soldiers, and they are somewhat withdrawn and unwilling to communicate with others. Shaojia took the initiative to approach him, using his own growth experience to guide him. Duo Deng cheered up and submitted applications for party membership three times, becoming an outstanding conscript and activist for party membership.
