Test the sharp weapon
for the strong army,
Navy Bi Sheng ship devoted to new weapon equipment test record
□ Our reporter Lian Yingting
In the honor room of Bi Sheng ship, there are 43 sampling bottles, which contain sea water of different latitude and longitude from south to north.
Each bottle of sea water records the glorious moments when each new type of ship-borne weapon obtained a "birth certificate".
The Bi Sheng ship is the Navy's first comprehensive test ship, which is responsible for the Navy's new shipborne conventional weapons testing and major training tasks.
Entering the new era, this old ship, which has been tempered for more than 20 years, is still galloping thousands of miles of sea and territory, trying out its weapons for the strong army of the Republic.
Mission is higher than life
On October 1, 2019, rows of armored vehicles equipped with elite weapons drove through Tiananmen Square majesticly.
At this moment, the officers and soldiers of Bi Shengjian who were sitting in front of the TV watching the military parade were full of emotion, and many people burst into tears.
The first ship-to-air missile, the first ship-to-ship missile, multiple types of naval gun weapons... the first sea launch test was conducted on the Bi Sheng ship, and the troops were installed after being qualified.
Experiments are often accompanied by risks, and how many officers and soldiers charge retrograde regardless of personal safety.
The first captain Zhao Wan and political commissar Zhang Jianjun "fighted" because of who stayed in the cockpit.
Because the cockpit is close to the missile launching platform, the risk is high. For this reason, they argued fiercely. In the end, the captain convinced the political commissar.
Zhao Wan said: "We can't be in the cab at the same time. In case of an accident, you will be in charge of the disposal."
The night when the first missile was launched, the entire ship lost sleep.
Brand-new ships and new missiles are no less than being on the battlefield. Many people secretly wrote suicide notes and put them in a drawer.
The test officially began, and with a roar, the missile rose into the air.
"Successful launch!" When the ship broadcast the news, they cried with joy.
In a launch test, when the launching missile enters the irreversible program, the power supply system fails suddenly, and the missile that loses control may explode in the ship's body at any time.
"This is my specialty, let me go!" Hu Naihui, the third-level sergeant commander, rushed to the compartment separated from the missile by a single board to troubleshoot the problem. After two hours, the danger was gone.
After the incident, all the officers and soldiers ran into the cabin and hugged each other.
"No matter how the times change, the spirit of Bi Shengjian's officers and soldiers that their mission is more important than life will never change." said Jin Qiuming, political commissar of the ship.
In 2013, during a certain missile test mission, the test failed to proceed as scheduled because the radar could not capture the target normally.
After inspection by the industrial department, considering the potential danger of the missile, it is recommended to cancel the mission.
Xu Wanggen, the captain of the cabin section and the first-level sergeant commander, got into the hot, dim and narrow test cabin. With the skill of mastering hundreds of pipelines on the ship, he finally eliminated the fault.
In May 2019, the Bi Sheng ship performed a certain type of missile test mission, which needed to test the performance of the missile under strong wind and waves.
However, on the day of the test, the sea conditions changed suddenly and the wind weakened.
The officers and soldiers used the fin stabilizer to make the ship sway, and found that the periodic law was too strong, and then artificially increased the sway amplitude by steering.
This is a sailing maneuver that challenges the limit and is also a highly difficult operation full of risks.
Under such an irregular swing, it is easy to affect the initial posture of the missile after it exits the barrel. If the angle is not enough, the height is not enough, and the missile may collide with the ship or fall into the ship.
The ship was suddenly full rudder to the left and then full rudder to the right. When the window that fully met the requirements of the high sea state test appeared, two missiles roared out with a command.
The various combat technical indicators of the new missile have been fully verified in the context of similar actual combat.
On the high-intensity and high-risk scientific research battlefield, the officers and soldiers of Bi Shengjian successively completed more than 300 major test tasks, setting the highest number of missiles launched by naval ships and was known as the "Navy Meritorious Test Ship."
Set multiple records
This is a thrilling experience.
A supersonic missile skimmed the sea and flew towards the Bi Sheng ship.
"Target lock, launch!" The new naval gun weapon leaped into the air to intercept, and the missile close to the Bi Sheng ship was wiped out. The first domestic naval gun system successfully intercepted a sea-skimming supersonic missile at short range and low altitude.
"In the peaceful era, the test field is the battlefield. The high risk and uncertainty of the tested products force us to always prepare for the worst." Captain Han Chunqiang said.
Looking through the training records of the Bisheng ship, the missile exploded in the barrel, the missile ignited abnormally and the ship crashed, and the test personnel were injured by the missile...In response to hundreds of scenarios of emergency and dangerous situations, they formulated emergency response plans one by one. Repeat training until muscle memory is formed, so that every movement is accurate.
According to the minimum launch conditions, each missile test, the maximum allowable error of the launch position is several hundred meters.
In order to ensure the absolute safety of the test, the officers and soldiers tried their best to narrow the error range, which has never exceeded 10 meters so far.
One year when the ship was performing a long-range navigation test mission, the test equipment failed to receive data in time, which meant that the data collected earlier would also become invalid.
The sea was sturdy and the waves were high that day, and it was like finding a needle in a haystack to accurately find the ship location where data was lost in bad sea conditions.
The officers and soldiers of Bi Shengquan accurately grasped the factors affecting navigation and perfectly connected with the missing point.
Relying on the valuable data obtained, the improved equipment successfully passed the assessment and verification and was installed on the main battleship of the army.
For 15 consecutive years, the Bi Sheng ship has been rated as a "Military Training First-Class Unit" and has set many records in naval history, including the most missions, the longest range, and the longest sailing time.
Strengthen the rule of law
"Ignite the flames of the sword flying, build a powerful coastal defense..."
Loud singing resounded through the sea and sky, and the morale of the officers and soldiers of Bi Shengjian who had just completed the test mission was high. This is the "Song of Bi Shengjian" that has been sung for more than 20 years.
In recent years, test ships have been listed one after another, and the pride and glory of being the first test ship has been integrated into the blood of the officers and soldiers of Bi Shengjian.
"The soldiers who walked out of our ship became squad leaders in brother ships." "As the first soldier of the experimental ship unit, there are shining tough guys everywhere."
In December 2019, the brother ship is about to go to sea to perform a major test mission.
However, during the preparation period, the main engine malfunctioned, and the officers and men checked and repaired and asked the outside master to board the boat for repairs.
Seeing that it affects the task process, everyone is anxious.
In an emergency, the leaders who rushed to the scene named Li Hongjun, a famous soldier and expert.
Li Hongjun was the squad leader of the Bi Sheng ship main engine. After receiving the instruction, he rushed to the scene and found that the cause of the malfunction was damage to a certain fuel protection device.
After restoration, the equipment returned to normal, and the officers and soldiers on the scene gave a thumbs up: "The'Iron Armored Imperial Doctor' really deserves its reputation."
In peacetime, officers and soldiers diligently study equipment and learn skills.
They use the manufacturer to humbly ask for advice when returning to the ship, and the factory staff are willing to impart more knowledge.
Due to their outstanding professional ability, many technical experts of Bi Shengjian often receive olive branches from brother ships and local companies, but the officers and soldiers love the warships that have grown up with them.
In addition to focusing on personnel training, Bi Shengjian also regards the management of the troops and the guidance of the troops as a key part of comprehensive construction.
They regard the implementation of regulations and regulations as the cornerstone of consolidating safety development, insisting on the normalization of "learning laws, using laws, and observing laws", taking the "Outline of Army Grassroots Construction" as the criterion for implementation, and the "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Non-commissioned Officers' Daily Management", etc. Strictly restrict the rules, strengthen the rule of law concept and thinking of officers and soldiers, and improve the efficiency of training and preparation for war.
"In strengthening the management of the army according to law and strictly governing the army, we have refined various orders and regulations in accordance with the spirit of the Central Military Commission on the'three fundamental changes' to further improve the regularization of the army." Song Hongyu, deputy captain of Bi Shengjian Introduction.
"There are detailed regulations and quantitative indicators from mobile phone management, on-duty duty, project training, daily navigation inspections, etc.. Through clear responsibilities, position responsibilities are aligned with regulations and standards." Vice Captain Bi Shengjian Yao He Say.
In recent years, Bi Shengjian has won the first-class merit once and the second-class merit once, was commended as an advanced grassroots party organization by the whole army once, twice by the navy, and was named an “advanced unit of grassroots construction” nine times. 59 officers and soldiers received awards for their meritorious service.
