The new situation of the new "double contention"
"It's not good to compare this ruler"
The knock on the door sounded again.
This is the third time that the instructor Zhang Xiangya has been knocked on the door after a late roll call.
The visitor was sergeant Yang Zhiyuan for the same thing-before the call was late, Zhang Xiangya posted a list of people participating in the new "Double Struggle" selection in the public notice column.
"Instructor, why can't Cui Yangyi from my class work? A while ago, his party history study propaganda was praised by his superiors. He also took an active part in the recent knowledge contest. Don't let him comment. Isn't it a blow to his enthusiasm? !" Yang Zhiyuan said nothing but for a long time.
Zhang Xiangya knows Yang Zhiyuan very well.
When he first came to the company as platoon leader, Yang Zhiyuan was still a high class soldier.
In a blink of an eye, the two have been in the company for 7 years.
Faced with Yang Zhiyuan’s “plea for mercy”, Zhang Xiangya gave an explanation: Cui Yangyi’s performance is indeed outstanding in terms of theoretical study, and the company has decided to approve him as the “Theory Star”; in the new “Double Struggle” selection, due to the evaluation criteria Leaning more towards preparing for war, Cui Yangyi, who ranked low in military training results, was therefore unsuccessful in the selection of the "Four Haves" outstanding soldiers.
The new "double struggle" activity has been carried out for more than a year, and officers and soldiers have been enthusiastic about participating.
Compared with the past, problems such as "balanced care" and "taking turns in the village" have been significantly improved.
But some new situations have emerged-in addition to the officers and soldiers who "single-track the top and the main business is lame", there are also the "small scattered and distant" positions and the problems of concerns about democratic evaluation by officers and soldiers in management positions.
In the ammunition depot more than a hundred kilometers away from the company, Naka Shi Tian Hui and his four comrades stood there for a long time.
Because they are "small scattered and far away" points, they are often ignored by some comrades-in-arms.
"Whenever the company encounters a major task, there is always no shortage of vanguards. Everyone is vying for it, but few people pay attention to some daily tasks." Tian Hui said.
In the new "Double Struggle" campaign, whether it is in the stage evaluation or before the overall evaluation, the democratic evaluation link is designed, and the democratic evaluation results are used as an important basis for the party organization to make conclusions and take plans.
"The increase in democratic evaluation is to allow officers and soldiers to check the first pass." Zhang Xiangya said, "Because some officers and soldiers do not understand the'small scattered and far away' points, they sometimes cannot make reasonable judgments."
Sergeant Liu Yang has similar concerns.
During his tenure as a duty officer, he strictly grasped daily management and various rules and regulations, and was highly praised by his superiors.
However, due to an overly strict management model, he did not receive a high number of votes in several democratic evaluations.
"If you don't guide in time, everyone will become good old people, who dare to let go of their hands and feet to grasp management." Zhang Xiangya said that some officers and soldiers would think that whoever has the highest democratic evaluation votes should be awarded.
In response to these situations, Zhang Xiangya used the opportunity of each work review to allow officers and soldiers to understand each other as much as possible, and to provide reasonable and correct guidance to the officers and soldiers before the evaluation.
"It is not easy to ensure fairness and justice, but also to accurately draw conclusions and determine the target of recognition. This is not an easy task." Zhang Xiangya said with emotion, "This ruler is not good for evaluation." The pressure to make a decision is not only personal. Worries are a new test for the party branch.
Where is the new "double struggle"
"As long as you do well, others won't be able to grab your merits, and you won't be able to let them go."
After listening to the platoon leader's words, Corporal Wang Jingjie looked a little at a loss, a few beads of sweat slid down his cheeks.
Ten minutes ago, the platoon leader took Wang Jingjie to a corner and said straightforwardly: "Squad leader Wang is about to expire. You are still young. There are many opportunities in the future. Let's give it to Squad leader Wang this time!"
This is an incident that happened between new and veteran soldiers at the end of last year.
One is a veteran non-commissioned officer who is about to retire; the other is a young non-commissioned officer who has just transferred to the company and has emerged in many training exercises.
According to the "inertial thinking" in the past, young non-commissioned officers would give their merits to the old squad leader out of "polite".
"The times are different, we must abandon outdated concepts." Zhang Xiangya said.
The "Implementation Rules" of the new "Double Struggle" activity stipulates that each person participates in the evaluation once a year, quarterly evaluation, and annual overall evaluation.
In his view, the new "double-struggle" activity pays more attention to "struggle in normal times, more than in normal times", and to a certain extent put an end to the phenomenon of "on seniority".
In the end, after democratic appraisal and research by the party branch, Wang Jingjie was commended as an outstanding soldier of the "Four Haves" and was identified as a party member development target.
"The new "double contention" evaluation standard is more scientific." Wang Jingjie said, "As long as you do a good job, others won't be able to grab your merits, and you won't be able to let it go."
Corporal Luo Zhenyu felt the same about this.
Luo Zhenyu transferred to Erlian last year.
At that time, some of the comrades who came with him were not very comfortable with the new environment.
To this end, Luo Zhenyu actively talked with his comrades in arms, and won unanimous approval from everyone.
It was a certainty that Luo Zhenyu was elected as an outstanding soldier of the "Four Haves", but last year, he studied abroad for 8 months.
At the end of the evaluation, different voices appeared-
"Luo Zhenyu has not participated in the company's work for a long time, and has missed the year-end assessment. He should not participate in the evaluation."
"There is no year-end assessment result, you can refer to the most recent assessment result, the key is to see how you perform."
Zhang Xiangya reviewed the "Implementation Rules" of the new "Double Struggle" activity, and stipulated that the time of acting, seconded, studying or performing tasks for more than 6 months, returned to the original unit, the original unit will be assessed after listening to the opinions of the temporary unit.
After contacting Luo Zhenyu's party branch during school, Zhang Xiangya found that he was not only a backbone, but also highly recognized by the party branch where he belonged.
In the end, the party branch of Erlian decided to approve Luo Zhenyu as an outstanding soldier of the "Four Haves".
In the new "Double Struggle" activity, Zhang Xiangya also noticed a new policy. The "Implementation Rules" clarified five fault-tolerant situations that do not affect the first evaluation.
As a major innovation of the new "double-struggle", it is also a highlight, the fault-tolerant mechanism relieves officers and soldiers of "struggle" concerns.
"With the fault-tolerant mechanism, it has greatly alleviated the fears of the grassroots officers and soldiers, and corrected the misunderstanding of doing less work and making less mistakes." Zhang Xiangya said, summed up in one sentence: as long as you work hard, you can be judged.
What did the new "double struggle" give birth to
"Not only must be judged advanced and excellent, but also drive and motivation must be judged."
The shock wave of the new "double struggle" has profoundly changed the officers and soldiers.
In the Battle of Crossing the River 72 years ago, the company’s artillery squad set a special record-they used a captured mountain cannon to destroy an enemy ship and three fortresses without a scope.
"How can you shoot so accurately without a scope?" In the first education class of the recruits' Xialian company, Private Yu Hai questioned the story of "Blind Cannon Attacking the Enemy Ship".
Yu Hai, born in 1999, is a typical "net generation".
He has an open personality and active thinking.
Due to the superior family environment and own conditions, Yu Hai is not interested in the new "Double Struggle" activity.
"What are you fighting for? It's easy to hurt the harmony between your comrades." He said.
Zhang Xiangya found a yellowed letter from the company's "old mailbox". It was a letter written to the company by the old hero Wang Bingrang who set this record during his lifetime.
Zhang Xiangya read to Yu Hai word by word: "The reason why I was able to use blind artillery to destroy an enemy ship back then was based on more thinking, more research, and more innovation. I don't think I can do without this if I want to win the battle today!"
The words of the old hero hit Yu Haier like a heavy hammer.
Yu Hai began to recognize this old hero again. Before he was named the third-class People's Hero of East China, Wang Bingrang was also named "Model Study" and "Model March" by the company with honors similar to "Excellent Soldier".
"Behind the hero is a superposition of small honors." Yu Hai said.
The new "Double Struggle" activity stipulates that a soldier who has been rated as an excellent soldier of the "Four Haves" for three consecutive years should be awarded a third-class merit.
This regulation also aroused Yu Hai's self-motivated spirit.
Through time and space, yesterday's excellent soldiers influence today's excellent soldiers.
Yu Hai put away the comic book and plunged into the training and study of artillery operation.
At the end of last year, Yu Hai was identified by the company’s party branch as an activist for joining the party because of his outstanding performance, and he was also named an outstanding soldier of the "Four Haves".
The shock wave of the new "double struggle" affects everyone in Erlian and echoes in every "corner".
Wang Junjie, a superior soldier, joined the army because of a policy: after junior college graduates join the army and complete the junior college, from 2022, they will be exempted from entrance examinations for general undergraduate or adult undergraduate studies.
Affected by Yu Hai, Wang Junjie, who had been thinking about leaving after two years, was determined to make a change.
He gave full play to his strengths and began to show his talents in the company's equipment innovation.
"The new "Double Struggle" activity must not only evaluate the advanced and outstanding, but also evaluate the enthusiasm and motivation." Zhang Xiangya said.
A good atmosphere gives combat effectiveness.
The first group of the company won the honorary title of "Yangtze River Hero Class".
"We have the'Yangtze River Hero Class', and we must also become the'Yangtze River Hero Company'." With the new "double struggle" style, the company focused on training and preparing for war, organized combat readiness drills and mass training contests on a regular basis, and carried out the "I am fighting to win." The "Golden Cannonball" and "Gold Cannonball" awards will be selected for the "Golden Cannonball" activity, making the training ground become the home of the "double struggle".
At the end of last year, the company was commended by the brigade as an advanced unit for military training, and nearly two-thirds of its officers and soldiers were commended by their superiors.
What to do after "competition"
"The core is to inspire the majority of officers and soldiers to build new merits based on the combat position"
After the physical examination was over, Corporal Xie Guihao ran back to the dormitory excitedly.
He came to a special wall, solemnly pulled out the card with "Pull-ups to break the record", and at the same time stuffed a card with "Achieved Excellent in Theory Test".
In every dormitory in Erlian, there is such a wall-sky blue background, surrounded by a circle of exquisite patterns, and on the top is written "My goal, I call the shots" in large color characters.
This wall is affectionately called the "target wall" by the comrades-in-arms.
They posted their photos on it and inserted cards with personal goals on them.
Each time a goal is reached, the officers and soldiers will replace them with new cards and write down the number of completions.
Next to Xie Guihao's card is the number "7", which means he has completed 7 goals.
"After reaching the goal, the results can be included in the quantification of the new "double struggle"." Xie Guihao said.
In addition to making the "target wall", the company also set up the "Dragon and Tiger List" to regularly rank the performance of officers and soldiers; commendation ceremonies were held to fill the new "double struggle" with a sense of ceremony and honor, and create a strong atmosphere than learning to catch up and help. .
"The "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the New'Double Struggle'" activities are guidelines at the entire military level. Most of them put forward requirements from a macro perspective, and provide a lot of room for detailed operations of various units." Zhang Xiangya said that they are based on the new revision. The "Outline of Army Grassroots Construction", "Outline of Army Military Training" and other laws and regulations, combined with the actual situation of the unit, formulate evaluation rules based on job differences, etc., refine the specific methods for the classification of types and levels, and the new "double competition" activities Grassroots combat readiness, military training, political education, daily management and other aspects.
"Whether it is the'double struggle' in the past or today's'double struggle', the core is to instigate the innovation and development of grassroots construction through pioneering competitions, lead the grassroots units to forge ahead on a new journey to strengthen the army, and inspire the majority of officers and soldiers to build new merits based on their positions. "Zhang Xiangya analyzed.
In the next step, the party branch of the Second Company of Adding Howitzers will focus on the mutual education of troops and families, make good use of the role of family backing, and publicize the deeds of outstanding soldiers through platforms such as Qiangjun.com and official accounts to inspire everyone's enthusiasm and stimulate the vitality of the company. .
Not long ago, Zhang Xiangya sent blessings through WeChat to the families of soldiers who were rated as outstanding soldiers of the "Four Haves" before retiring from the army, and wrote several "invitation letters", inviting them to participate in the commendation party and witness the moment of honor belonging to the officers and soldiers. .
