  "To be in charge of the country's important weapon, we must be able to win the war." This year, Zhou Yongkun, the commander of a missile brigade of the Rocket Army, preached in the party history study and education class conducted by the whole brigade. Words, I listen to the party's words'."

  There was applause at the lecture site.

The brigade political commissar Ma Xiaojiang said: "This is not only an endorsement of this class, but also a commendation to Zhou Yongkun. He used the unity of knowledge and action to interpret the winning qualities of defending peace."

  Speed ​​up the pace of preparing for war

  "Usually training also has to show the appearance of fighting, and can seize the opportunity in one second."

  As a force at the forefront of preparations for military struggle, the Rocket Army responds most directly to various threats and challenges.

Zhou Yongkun said that it is necessary to speed up preparations for war with the spirit of not waiting for time and seizing the day.

  As far as the army is in combat operations, as far as the items are placed and retrieved, he has to pinch the watch.

  The officer's tactical vest was placed on the bedside table, and when he was rushed out to open and close the cabinet door to retrieve it, he would re-elect the position; the officer and soldier wasted time looking for the individual first aid kit, and he let it be placed in a standardized place.

With these two items alone, the action was nearly ten seconds faster.

  The troops performed the transfer task. Zhou Yongkun led the backbone to study the actuarial calculations to improve the operational status and speed of the troops. Finally, they rushed to complete the transfer 34 seconds before the satellite approached the sky, and gained valuable time for the follow-up mission.

  "You can't be an ostrich burying your head in the sand when you prepare for battle." Zhou Yongkun said, only by focusing on the requirements of actual combat, doing the best in combat readiness, and practicing the best tactics, can we answer the "question of victory."

To this end, he introduced three systems to change the training habits of officers and soldiers:

  Enemy notification system.

Every morning, officers and soldiers will see a bulletin of the enemy's situation, smelling the smoke of gunpowder, come to the battle position, knowing that the enemy is planning to fight the enemy.

Liao Zijie, the commander of the launch company, said that he had been shouting "The wolf is coming" and had never been so close to the "wolf".

  "Research on the enemy's day" system.

The agency devotes one day each month as the "Research on the Enemy Day," focusing on key issues, focusing on key issues, in-depth study of the enemy's situation, and research on opponents, and new tactics have emerged one after another.

  "Morning Meeting" system.

The combat team conducts enemy situation consultations every day, just like a small battle. Each element determines the threat based on the enemy's situation and perfects the plan. The sword of war hangs high, and officers and soldiers practice fighting every day.

  Walking into the brigade's duty camp, there was a scene full of bows: downstairs, launching vehicle-mounted ammunition ready to go; upstairs, trumpeter preparing for battle at all times.

With an order, the attire can immediately reach the battlefield.

  Opened the brigade’s war preparations warehouse, from logistical supplies to equipment parts, there are more than 40,000 sets.

Huang Zongrong, the training staff, said: "This is a pre-prepared essential item for warfare in our brigade. It will be tested regularly and perfected in real time."

  Entering the health team, military doctor Lu Zhicong said: “The brigade will carry out treatment training on a regular basis to enhance the core competence of the medical service unit.” Last year, the Rocket Army’s top medical team competed, and the brigade won 3 items in the military medical team, part-time medical team and group. First.

  The normal organization pulls urgently without notice to improve combat readiness; establishes a diversified standby mode to achieve quick and fast fight... Whether it is the main battle team or the support element, the brigade officers and soldiers aim at the core standard of "be able to fight at any time, launch on time, and effectively damage" Hundreds of special situations are preset to realize emergency response and response plan.

  High standards to enhance combat effectiveness

  "Usually set a high standard, and you can win in wartime." Zhou Yongkun's high standard is the "iron ruler" of combat effectiveness.

  The launching squad conducted an analysis of combat capability. A typical company was caught by Zhou Yongkun: "What experience does the main trumpeter have? What are the characteristics of the character? Which trumpeters can be backup commanders? We can't prepare for a battle with a'similar' thinking. How does the standard of China get on the battlefield?"

  The reprinting of missiles requires precision and is most afraid of external interference.

During a live ammunition launch mission, the brigade organized an outdoor reprint at night in a sudden windy weather. The operation risk was very high. Some people suggested to postpone the mission.

  After scientifically assessing the impact of the weather, Zhou Yongkun said: "If you want to practice your true skills, you have to take some risks and proceed as planned. If something goes wrong, I will be responsible."

  Afterwards, he personally commanded and completed the reprint accurately and without error, and the battle launch proceeded smoothly.

This time the extreme weather lighting of the sword not only tested the weapon's target, but also improved the officers and soldiers' ability to perform tasks under complex conditions.

  Missile weapon delivery requires long distances, multiple links, high requirements, and high risks.

A "escort" traveled halfway, and unexpectedly encountered a big storm.

Extreme weather is approaching the boundary conditions of special transportation, and if you are not careful, there may be a danger of bomb damage and death.

  At the very moment, Zhou Yongkun firmly grasped a fixed rod and stayed on the side of the missile, commanding the officers and soldiers to take countermeasures while recording the changes in various parameters of the equipment.

  The bad weather passed, and the missile was unharmed.

The precious data of equipment changes under extreme conditions recorded by them at the risk of their lives has become a powerful support for the generation of combat effectiveness of this type of missile.

  In addition, the transportation work manual summarized by Zhou Yongkun led the officers and soldiers to become a treasure of escort, and for the first time in the Rocket Army, it explored the construction of a multi-dimensional transportation and global support system for missile weapons, which provided samples for other troops.

  During the construction of a position, Zhou Yongkun found that a detail was different by a few centimeters and demanded to rework immediately: “It must be rectified in place, otherwise we will lose the battle if a war begins.” Zhou Yongkun led people to strictly supervise and inspect all projects under construction to ensure that Can stand the test of war.

  When reviewing the design drawings of the position, he found that the road turning radius and other aspects were not considered carefully, so he asked all to redesign, and looked for solutions to similar problems.

Later, by allowing street lights to "turn" to increase the height limit for passage, to "transform" trees to enhance the camouflage effect, and to "shift" stone piers to widen the road, so that every detail is more in line with combat needs.

  Organized hundreds of combat plans and operations, without issuing a wrong order, and commanding an operation without failure.

In the implementation of combat effectiveness standards, Zhou Yongkun set an example and led the brigade officers and soldiers to create more than 20 "firsts" and "firsts."

  Develop a specialization plan

  In a certain exercise, the launch battalion suffered a communication interruption under complicated conditions, which finally caused the "launch" to fail.

Zhou Yongkun asked the officers and soldiers of the brigade to learn from one another and gather wisdom to tackle key problems, requiring the team to practice six emergency communication methods.

  Once, the superior gave the brigade an urgent task of position construction.

Zhou Yongkun led the officers and soldiers to make rounds, day and night surveys, scientific selection of sites, and high-quality completion of more than a dozen positions in just a few days, creating an astonishing speed.

  In the sweltering summer, fierce fighting is like fire.

The whole army organized a major exercise, which for the brigade was a comprehensive test of its combat effectiveness.

  Zhou Yongkun led the officers and soldiers to quench for many days and enter the final preparations for launch.

Suddenly, the superior ordered them to adjust the launch area and change the launch position several times. At this time, only a few days were left before launch.

  Sudden changes in the situation can most test the state of the troops.

He led his troops across regions overnight, re-selected positions, adjusted equipment, planned ballistics, fought continuously for several days and nights, and successfully launched 4 missiles in a complex battlefield environment.

  In March 2017, a new missile brigade was formed, and Zhou Yongkun became the first group of people to eat crabs.

  Smug, he led the officers and soldiers on a difficult entrepreneurial road: independently compiled and distributed 15 professional textbooks, developed two sets of simulation training equipment, developed and built training centers for simulation training, VR, basic skills, and professional principles deepening; established and improved missile professional technical training specifications , Explore ways to push forward the simulation hard training, the actual installation refinement, and the technical combat training; focusing on the building of the missile trumpeter and commander team, the extraordinary means to quickly forge 49 "two skills and one hand."

  In May last year, Zhou Yongkun and the officers and soldiers faced a new challenge-the superiors required the ability to be on duty within a limited time.

The joy of installing a new type of missile weapon in the brigade has not yet calmed down, and a sense of urgency has hit.

  Some officers and soldiers felt that the time was too short to complete the task. Zhou Yongkun cheered everyone up: “Farmers never discuss why they are farming, and soldiers can’t talk about conditions for fighting.

  Zhou Yongkun led the officers and soldiers to formulate a special refining plan, and finally completed the task ahead of schedule.

  The brigade is equipped with two types of missiles, how to achieve "two swords"?

Zhou Yongkun led the officers and soldiers to charge this mountain.

Nowadays, after scientifically adjusting their forces, they have explored a new model of "one brigade, two types" expansion and concurrent training, and innovatively carried out "seven-step three-combination" professional training and "four-step method" on-the-spot training. At the same time, forged a killer for the fear of a powerful enemy.

  Exploring 15 tactics, forming 19 results, and successfully completing more than 20 major tasks, Zhou Yongkun used the spirit of innovation to press the fast forward button for the construction of the army's combat effectiveness.
