  Zhang Jinjuan, Yang Yang

  In midsummer Lingnan, in front of the barracks of the "Hard Bone Six Company" of a certain brigade of the 74th Army of the Army, a drab stone was engraved with a powerful "hard" character, which was particularly eye-catching in the sun.

  The "Sixth Hard-Bone Company" is a heroic company that inherits the blood of the Red Army and dares to fight hard and bad battles. After the baptism of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the War of Liberation, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, it participated in 161 battles and was awarded the "Model Fighting Company" and the "Sixth Hard-Bone Company". "Heroic Sixth Company" and other honorary titles, won the first-class merit 8 times.

  The Sixth Company was formed in 1939, and it belonged to the independent third detachment of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army. The leader of the detachment at that time was the famous Red Army general He Bingyan.

  Speaking of the origin of "hard bones", there is also a legendary story.

During the Long March, He Bingyan, then commander of the Red 5th Division, injured his right arm six times and had to be amputated.

At that time, there was no surgical equipment or anesthetics, so I had to use a wood saw to saw the arm.

He Long, the commander-in-chief of the Red Second and Sixth Army, later wrapped two pieces of bones in a handkerchief to boost the morale of the officers and soldiers: "Look, this is the bones of the Communists..."

  In the sixth company, "hard bones" is synonymous with the company, and it is the soul and root of the company.

For many years, the company has always held up the "hard" battle flag and forged ahead.

  The company has repeatedly won championships in the annual formation company competitions of the regiment, dozens of professional training courses set a record for its division, and dozens of training results have been promoted in the group army.

After the reform of the size, structure and strength of the army, the Sixth Company was moved to a new garrison. The training results have always remained unchanged, and they have won the first place in the competition assessment organized by the superior organization several times...

  "The'hard-boned spirit' has long deeply penetrated into the soul of the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company." said Feng Jie, the instructor of the Sixth Company.

  After the defense was moved, the company added a lot of new equipment, and the new organization broke the traditional training model.

The officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company quickly "changed their minds" to achieve a gorgeous "turn around"——

  Carry out training method innovation, tactics research and training, divide training topics into classes, 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 two or more main combat majors;

  Actively promote military democracy. Whenever major tasks, exercises, exercises, and competitions are completed, they will convene officers and soldiers to analyze the training situation, identify shortcomings, expose shortcomings, and improve the quality and effectiveness of training;

  Carry out the activities of "Researching and Winning Strong Enemies", exploring and practicing more than 10 new topics such as rapid assembly in wartime, and coordination of vehicles on and off at night;

  ...

  In the past three years, the company has participated in the military competitions above the group army with 22 people to win gold and silver, breaking 12 brigade records, and successively won 1 collective first-class merit, collective and individual second-class merit 8 times, and was commended by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League and the All-China Youth Federation. The "Chinese Youth May 4th Medal Collective" was awarded the title of "Model of the Times" by the Central Propaganda Department.

  From traditional infantry to armored infantry, from single ground combat to amphibious combat, the sixth company successfully transformed.

  "The'hardness' of the Sixth Company is produced by real swords and real guns." Feng Jie said that although the company's weapons and equipment are getting higher and higher in technology, the spirit of "dare to fight, dare to fight", Feng Jie said. Passed on from generation to generation, and constantly fortified the victories and bloody courage of the officers and soldiers.

  Driving at sea is a difficult subject for the amphibious armored combined forces.

During a sea training, it was the typhoon season and the sea conditions were complicated. At this time, the safety risk of the chariot going into the sea was high.

  "We apply to take the lead in this sea training!" At the training preparation meeting for the whole battalion, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company expressed their views.

  As soon as they were stationed in the sea training ground, the officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company used the rest time to survey the terrain and analyze the sea conditions, and they wrote several pages of paper densely.

The unfamiliar environment in the eyes of others is already familiar to them...

  In August 2019, in a real combat drill, the sixth company served as the Blues.

When the battle was in a stalemate, the company was tasked with a surprise attack, and a five-person reconnaissance team quietly interspersed near the red command post.

In order to wait for the fighters, they just lurked in the dull underground fortifications with a high temperature of more than 40 degrees Celsius and lurked for more than 3 hours. They finally found a chance to defeat the enemy and reverse the fighting situation.

  Since the adjustment and reform, officers and soldiers of the Sixth Company have taken the initiative to carry out joint learning and joint training with a certain navy detachment, a certain air force brigade, a certain coastal defense squadron, and a certain armed police detachment, etc., and participate in the exploration of battlefield information sharing, close fire support, joint command communications, etc. A variety of practical topics have obvious effects in joint exercises and joint training.

  "No matter how the time changes, how the equipment is changed, or how the tasks are changed, the standard for training of the Sixth Company is to be close to the actual combat. We will practice what is needed on the battlefield." said Zhao Song, the commander of the Sixth Company.
