"Dongfeng Express" female students' graduation test
"Watching the missiles that have been tested by myself take off is the greatest honor in my life." One day in early August, at a live ammunition launch training ground of the Rocket Army, Jiang Jinxiu, a student of the 2020 Test Control Specialty of the Rocket Corps Noncommissioned Officer School, witnessed the sword roar in the sky. In this scene, tears could not help but tears.
Two months ago, in accordance with the actual requirements of the missile brigade, the school selected the "Jianfeng Brigade" and conducted training. Jiang Jinxiu and 10 other comrades in the army were successfully selected into the technical battalion through various evaluations and selections. They became the first batch of rocket forces to participate in the measurement and control of live ammunition launches. Professional ladies official trainees.
"Dongfeng Express, the mission must be reached." The rhythm of the two-month training camp can only be described in one word: fast! Professional learning, physical training, special handling... Jiang Jinxiu's mind is full of growth notes written by herself for lifting missiles into the air. Now, they have successfully completed the live ammunition launching mission and submitted their own graduation answers at the live ammunition launching drill field.
For the missile medical examination, the female students received the "Future Battlefield Pass" at the live ammunition launch site. "The trumpeter is in place!" Jiang Jinxiu shouted out these words at the battlefield party as a farewell to his alma mater.
"You have to use data to speak to the extreme, and a 0.1V difference is a failure."
"When teaching materials as thick as "Xinhua Dictionary" were delivered, I could hardly breathe." Recalling the scene of receiving the new missile operating procedures, the lively person would just make a "suffocating" grimace.
The test control is to conduct a "full body check" for the missile before launch. The operating procedures are the fundamental basis for all combat operations of the test bugler. If Zheguanghui and his comrades want to successfully complete the missile test upgrade task, they must memorize hundreds of operating procedures and various phenomena corresponding to them. In order to maximize the actual combat ability of the students, the school decided to use a certain type of missile that the 2020 students have never touched to carry out this live fire launch mission.
For two weeks, Zheguang would memorize teaching materials day and night, and finally "eat in" a thick book of procedures. What she didn't expect was that the first simulated power supply equipment test training put her back in her original form.
"Connect the 28V voltage!" The training began, and the instructor issued instructions. Facing the operation panel he had never seen before, Zheguang's brain went blank and he twisted his hands in a hurry. Suddenly, the red light of the simulator flickered, and the sharp alarm pierced the eardrum. Before she could respond, the instructor had already filled in the four words "Mission failed" in the training record.
"How did it happen? Increase the voltage by 1.2V and start again!" Hearing criticism from the instructor, Zheguang felt his chest blocked. She obviously worked very hard, but the first time she did the actual operation was messed up, her nose was sore, she almost cried.
"Fast speed and high precision. You must use data to speak to the extreme. A difference of 0.1V is a failure!" There is no time to calm down the emotions. A new round of training begins with the instructor's decisive voice.
Zheguang will bite his lip, find the knob according to the password, turn it...
The voltage of an ordinary button battery is 1.5V, and the phenomenon displayed on the voltmeter is just a small vibration of the pointer. If you want to manually control the tiny voltage difference of 0.1V, the difficulty can be imagined.
"I don't believe in this evil anymore!" Repeated failures turned the frustration in his heart into persistence, and he had to compete with this knob.
In order to form "muscle memory" as soon as possible, Zheguang will even close his eyes to connect the plug. In one operation, she accidentally pierced the metal pin into the nail, and the pain caused her hands to twitch. However, she just gritted her teeth and completed the whole action, tears and sweat intertwined, dripping on the training platform.
Once, Zheguang and his comrades will train for 8 hours continuously from the afternoon to the early morning of the next day. All 10 bulk multimeters are welded and tested. Each multimeter has 30 color ring resistors. She finally recognized all the resistors within 1 minute and completed the test within the specified time.
"Preservation of accuracy is to ensure combat effectiveness and victory." This phrase often used by test and control professional instructors was engraved in the hearts of 11 female students.
In the live ammunition launch mission conducted not long ago, Zheguang and his comrades continuously upgraded and tested 3 missiles to ensure the success of the fire assault.
"It is said that female missile soldiers are sonorous roses, how can they bloom on the battlefield without hard work"
Reloading of missiles is a physical activity on a technical field-to accurately push a missile weighing several tons to a designated location, and then quickly tie it up with two-finger thick steel cables.
Zhang Yajuan did not expect that for the first time she promoted the training bomb, she almost caused a "catastrophe".
Zhang Yajuan is the No. 1 player in the reprinting team, responsible for pushing the reprinting car at the warhead position. However, the sturdy projectile on the reprint car completely blocked her view.
"Ready for number 1!"
Accompanied by the whistle of Zhao Han, the backbone of the trainee, Zhang Yajuan, who could barely see the way, held the fairing with her hands and moved forward with four comrades in arms. Propelling a missile with a sophisticated structure to move forward steadily at an appropriate speed is physically exhausting. Zhang Yajuan lowered her head and bent over. The huge friction between the track and the roller made her a little breathless, and she had to concentrate all of her attention on her arms.
Suddenly, Zhao Han found that the track was abnormal and blew the pause whistle. Zhang Yajuan, who was putting all her energy into the cart, didn't react, and forgot to brake...
Because of his lack of strength, it affects the overall action. Seeing the tired expressions of her comrades in arms, Zhang Yajuan felt extremely uncomfortable.
"It is said that the female missile soldier is a sonorous rose, how can it bloom on the battlefield without a little hard work!" Lying on the bed, Zhang Yajuan secretly vowed, "You must train yourself."
Every evening from that day, Zhang Yajuan came to the playground on time. Carrying sandbags, running at variable speeds, pushing tires, carrying logs... Gradually, her palms and shoulders were worn out.
A month later, when Zhang Yajuan and her comrades pushed the missile again, the other trumpeters found that the reprinted vehicle seemed to be less heavy.
While listening to the whistle, Zhang Yajuan stabilized the fairing while carefully observing the movement speed of the projectile. Her spirit gradually stabilized, and finally she successfully completed the reprint training.
The courage and composure of this group of young female students comes from their daily training.
Most girls are afraid of darkness and loneliness. In order to help everyone overcome their fears and exercise their strong will not to be afraid of danger, the trainee team organizes female trainees to travel through the unfamiliar jungle on the night of the camping exercise and return to the camp within a limited time.
The vines interlaced in the humid and sultry jungle, and the small animals that sprang out from time to time made the female students nervous. Zhao Han held the compass in his hand and led his comrades on the muddy road with a deep foot and a shallow foot. The tall tree canopy blocked the moonlight, and everyone could only feel the dark and move forward arm in arm.
For 5 hours, the horizon in the distance had turned white. Zhao Han finally took his comrades back to the camp. Everyone was embarrassed, but they were excited when they had conquered their fear.
The effect of the training played a role in the live ammunition reprinting scene. That day, Zhao Han directed his comrades to push live ammunition. Just halfway through, the loading truck suddenly made a metal crash, and she immediately issued the "stop" command and knelt down to check.
At this look, Zhao Han was taken aback. She found that there was an obvious gap in the butt surface of the car bomb, and the two were colliding with each other. "If the collision affects the accuracy of the equipment on the bomb, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Zhao Han quickly calmed down. She immediately organized her comrades to investigate the car body. Fortunately, there was no danger, but after a quick adjustment, Zhao Han and his comrades continued to advance.
For the last 5 meters, Zhao Han kept a close eye on the track, carefully adjusting the direction. The moment the missile finally arrived, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In this way, the female students, with their solid theoretical foundation and proficient operating skills, completed multiple tasks such as night reloading and continuous hoisting in two days and nights.
"The battlefield in the future has a position for us, if we are there, the position is there"
As night falls, a missile test and upgrade training under actual combat conditions is in progress.
Female student Zhang Jia is at the power supply car, connecting the test cable for the training bomb. Unexpectedly, the originally quiet ammeter pointer suddenly jumped.
"Leakage!" For the missile, the leakage during the test is extremely dangerous. Before he could think about it, Zhang Jia immediately cut off the power, rushed to the projectile to unplug, and dragged dozens of kilograms of cables to a safe area. The whole process took only ten seconds.
The instructor standing by her gave her approving glances. It turned out that this "sudden" leakage was designed by the instructor, and the test was the ability of the relevant trumpeters to deal with it.
“The situation in the training field continues to accelerate the accumulation of actual combat capabilities.” During the training period, the test control department of the school normalized and set up special situations, and interspersed with relevant courses to conduct intensive training, so that female students could understand “what to do” At the same time, he also understands "why do it so".
Cooperating with the launching team, it directly tests the tactical qualities of female students. Being able to attack and defend well under complex conditions is an essential skill for excellent measurement and control trumpeters.
During a missile launch process training, the launch vehicle loaded with training bombs was just about to drive out of the test hall, and the alarm suddenly sounded—the "enemy" reconnaissance satellite was approaching the air.
At this moment, the time for the original "fire assault" is approaching, what should I do? In order to go to the standby area as soon as the satellite passed, the commander decided to camouflage the launch vehicle immediately.
Female student Yang Pinying was the first to rush to the launch vehicle and pull the camouflage net with the male student from the launch team. It had just rained the night before, and the wet camouflage net was heavier than usual. Dragging the camouflage net, the arms of Yang Pinying and his comrades were strangled blue and purple by the thick nylon rope of the pinky finger.
Stepping on the ladder, female student Zhang Shufang climbed onto the roof of the tall launch car, preparing to catch the rope thrown from the car. Unexpectedly, the cooperating male student had a lot of strength, and Zhang Shufang didn't pay attention, and the wet rope slammed on her forehead. She almost fell out of the car when it was dark. However, the strong, she forced herself to calm down quickly, pulling the camouflage net with both hands faster.
Soon, with the joint efforts of everyone, several camouflage nets were strictly placed on the launch vehicle. After the satellite left, the launch vehicle rumbled out of the test hall with the training bomb, and drove quickly to the position in smoke.
"We have a position on the battlefield in the future. With us, the position is there." At the rehearsal meeting held that night, the successful special handling experience made female student Lu Honghong feel confident.
"Draw your sword and raise your eyebrows, sonorous roses." Without fear of the sun, sand, or heavy rain, today, they experienced battles on the training ground and strove for blood. Tomorrow, they will go to the front line and set off again in the face of the smoke.
