After 139 battles, the descendants of the "Steel Knife" have always maintained a state of never curling their blades!
The "steel knife" that never rolls the blade
——Remember the First Mobile Squadron of a detachment of the Yunnan Armed Police Corps
In the Honor Room of the First Mobile Squadron of a certain detachment of the Yunnan Armed Police Force, on a banner at the highest point, three large characters are particularly eye-catching: "Steel Knife Company".
This squadron named "Steel Knife" has no steel knives in the honor room.
The edge of the "steel knife" is hidden in the depths of history——
This team was born in the age of beacon, and has undergone 139 battles, and has won 2 collective great merits, 2 special merits, and 2 first-class merits.
That year, they participated in major combat missions, overcome difficulties and were not afraid of sacrifice, and were awarded the honorary title of "Steel Knife Company" by the Central Military Commission.
The edge of the "steel knife" flashed on the young officers and soldiers——
Over 83 years of passion, one crop of youthful faces have been made into steel in this team, breaking through plateaus, stationing in the sea, guarding borders, and protecting the country. No matter where they are fighting, they will always be the people's loyal and loyal guards.
"If you want to sharpen the'steel knife' more sharply, you can't use fake handles"
At noon, the sun hits the land of western Yunnan directly.
There was silence around the sentry.
Suddenly, several unidentified men rushed out of the sentry post and took out their weapons from behind... After receiving the information, a team of officers and soldiers rushed out.
They held a shield in their left hand to block and a stick in their right hand to attack quickly, quickly subduing all the "thugs".
At the end of the battle, the officers and soldiers pulled up the "thugs" and lightly patted the dust off them.
It turned out that this was a daily combat readiness drill organized by the squadron.
Although it is not actual combat, the offense and defense of the officers and soldiers is actual combat.
"If you want to sharpen the'steel knife' more sharply, you can't use fake handles." Squadron leader Wang Xuehai said quickly.
One day, the officers and soldiers of the squadron had just finished their night combat shooting training and suddenly received an emergency pull order from their superiors.
As soon as the team left the camp, they were attacked by "enemy".
With an order from Wang Xuehai, the officers and men quickly went forward in multiple ways and engaged in fierce exchanges of fire with the "enemy".
In just 10 minutes, Wang Xuehai led the officers and soldiers out of the siege.
"We are the descendants of the'Steel Knife', and we must always maintain a state of never curling up." said squadron instructor Dai Dongjie.
At the end of 2017, the squadron received a reform and adjustment order.
Faced with a brand-new training course, they learn and practice from scratch.
With day-to-day hard work, the squadron's combat effectiveness has been built to a new level. In 2019, it was awarded the title of "Pacemaker Squadron for Grassroots Construction" of the Armed Police Force, and was awarded the first-class collective merit.
In recent years, this squadron has moved to the frontline of multiple missions. The officers and soldiers are always ready to prepare for battle, creating and maintaining 9 training records for their troops, and 43 people have been commended as "Military Training Pacemakers."
At the door of each squadron of the squadron, there is a "stone that condenses the soul of the squad".
The officers and soldiers engraved the names of their classes on the stones they picked up during field training-"Brave Interspersed Class", "Sniper Hero Class"...
These names are derived from the glorious history of each class.
Speaking of the honor of his class, the soldiers are all treasured.
"We are descendants of the'Steel Knife', and there is no word'retreat' in our eyes"
The secret that the "Steel Knife" never rolls its blade is hidden in two blood-stained military uniforms——
That year, the soldier Zhong Shengguo participated in the superior competition.
As he traversed the obstacle, his back was marked with a deep hole in the barbed wire.
The pain and blood did not stop him from charging.
Zhong Shengguo gritted his teeth and fought hard to win the crown.
At the commendation meeting, the superiors especially praised Zhong Shengguo: “This is how you should train pacesetters!” Now, this blood-stained and damaged military uniform is stored in the squadron honor room.
In January this year, the squadron performed its mission.
In order to complete the task, Li Shijun, the squad leader, jumped up and grabbed the guard target's protective device on the edge of the cliff... Afterwards, everyone found that Li Shijun's uniform was worn out and there were blood stains on it.
"We are the descendants of'Steel Knife', and there is no word'retreat' in our eyes." Wang Xuehai told reporters a story.
During a certain mission, the then platoon leader Luo Zhiqiang and correspondent Yu Zhujun were attacked by the enemy.
Unfortunately, Yu Zhujun died heroically, and Luo Zhiqiang was shot in the left arm.
The superior arranged for Luo Zhiqiang to return to the rear hospital for treatment, but he resolutely asked for a fight: "Our platoon's mission has not been completed, I can't go." After that, he picked up the gun and rushed up.
In the ensuing battle, Luo Zhiqiang held a submachine gun in one hand and led the entire platoon to repel the enemy's many attacks, earning first-class merit.
"The predecessors have written the victory on the battle flag with my invincible bloody courage." Wang Xuehai said, "Now that the battle flag is in our hands, we will turn this spirit into practical actions to complete the task."
Every time on duty is a battle.
At that time, squad leader Yang Hulin and his comrades inspected suspicious vehicles on the front line of drug control.
The moment he opened the door, the drug dealer appeared in front of him with a dagger in his hand.
Yang Hulin and his comrades did not show any fear, and joined forces to subdue the drug dealers.
In a temporary operation, the officers and soldiers discovered that under a bungalow was a hidden underground casino.
After the officers and soldiers subdued the criminals with lightning speed, they found two guns and a large number of bullets in the safe.
"Where the flag of'Steel Knife' is inserted, we will take root"
In July 2020, Wang Xuehai led the team into the camp.
Standing in front of the barracks, his eyes were hot.
From platoon leader to squadron leader, Wang Xuehai served in this squadron for 7 years.
In recent years, the officers and soldiers of the squadron have climbed the snowy mountains, crossed the turbulent rivers, and fought in all directions. There was never a permanent barracks stationed there.
"I don't know how many times, the recruits asked me where is the barracks of the squadron? How long will the field tent stay in?" Wang Xuehai said, "I told them, wherever the'Steel Knife' banner is inserted, we will take root."
The battle flag refers to the heart of the squadron officers and soldiers.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on December 31, 2017, an order clarified the distribution of each officer and soldier, and clearly requested that the adjustment be in place before 12:00.
Many officers and soldiers were full of dismay after leaving the old unit.
Immediately afterwards, the chief officer talked to the backbone, the branch committee and the fighters... At 11:55, a team of more than 40 people was brought out neatly, bidding farewell to familiar comrades and battle positions, and running into a new sequence.
The battle flag is speechless and witnesses loyalty.
Wang Xuehai pointed to the battle flag and said: "In the war years, when we listened to the party and followed the party, the'Steel Knife Company' charged more and had an extraordinary record. Today, in the face of the tide of reforming and strengthening the army, we are still a team that does whatever the party calls it. ."
That year, a forest fire broke out at the station, threatening the lives and property of thousands of people.
The officers and soldiers of the squadron moved on hearing the order. After 4 days and 4 nights of continuous fighting, they fought more than 40 kilometers of the line of fire and recovered more than 50 million yuan in economic losses.
That year, a mudslide disaster occurred in the training area. The squadron rushed to the rescue line to rescue the masses and dredged mud. They fought 3 mission points and fought for 8 days and 8 nights in a row, so that the masses and the river embankment were all in danger.
In recent years, the squadron has participated in more than 10 emergency and dangerous missions such as earthquake relief, flood relief, and forest fire fighting.
The officers and soldiers of the squadron turned their loyalty to the party and the people into exemplary actions to serve the people again and again.
