Army Infantry Academy:
Here is where the elite marines start
Military academies were born and built for wars, and must focus on actual combat teaching and focus on winning and educating talents.
In the heroic city of Nanchang, it has been rainy and rainy days, but the extreme training ground of the Army Infantry Academy is screaming loudly.
On May 21, 2019, President Xi visited the academy in person, caring deeply about the training of the trainees, which made the teachers and students of the academy feel much honor.
From that moment on, this place has become the assault position for the teachers and students of the college to coach and strengthen the soldiers.
For more than two years, they have shouldered the sacred mission of educating people for warfare, planning the construction of warfare disciplines, exploring the research topics led by warfare, and achieving breakthroughs one after another.
Today, the training ground has been expanded.
Waters, wharfs, simulated beaches and other elements are all available, which not only meets the traditional swimming and diving training needs, but can also implement amphibious combat drills for synthetic infantry teams.
This has become the “experimental field” for teachers and students of the academy to focus on the army’s transformation and construction requirements and realize the cultivation of talents for the future battlefield.
Regarding this extreme training ground, graduate student Sun Hongbiao has no feelings in his heart.
"How heavy are the tires?" "Report to the chairman, 300 catties!"
Recalling the warm scene of the dialogue with Chairman Xi, Hongbiao Sun was very excited.
He can't forget the vow he made at that moment: He must turn the commander's love into a driving force for training and success, and constantly surpass himself.
As a student, he was "ruthless" to himself, and he practiced more than 200 horizontal bars; as a squad leader, he was rigorous in training and led the class to achieve excellent results in the combat sports skills of the college military competition class...
President Xi’s entrustment left waves in the minds of the cadets, and it was also deeply in the minds of the faculty members of the academy.
At that time, on this training ground, Lu Zhidian, deputy director of the Military Sports Teaching and Research Office, as the group trainer, reported to President Xi with a strong password.
That winter, Lu Zhiding wore heavy combat equipment and plunged into the cold training waters.
Experience all the new courses that are about to be tried out, such as "water combat, water discharge, boat training, water combat" and other new courses.
Winter is the season for forging people.
Lu Zhidian had only one idea: to get the training data as soon as possible to provide a scientific basis for teaching.
"Repaying the commander's care is to turn enthusiasm into a sense of urgency, work hard in teaching and research, and race against time to break through!" he said.
For more than two years, Lu Zhidian has led the teaching and research section instructors to race against time, in-depth study and analysis of modern infantry combat concepts and the army's global combat system, expand the training content of 3000-meter armed combination, 5000-meter combat skill combination, and transform the air, water, and mountain areas. And many other types of actual combat training venues and extreme psychological training cabins.
Nowadays, there are more and more faculty and students of the Army Infantry Academy who are constantly challenging the limit, thinking and studying warfare...
This is the transformational attitude of a student-student Ling Zaiheng formulates an annual extreme training plan for himself, requiring all military skills to reach "excellent +".
He said that to meet new challenges, one must first develop an "iron body."
This is the transformational resilience of an instructor-Pei Jiafa, director of the tactical teaching and research section of a new combat force, returned to the field comprehensive exercise field on the 3rd day after the operation, and completed many practical tasks such as the command skills of the synthetic infantry unit officers and the synthetic battalion offensive and defensive combat. Argument.
This is a team’s determination to transform-from beaches to the Gobi desert, from dense forest wilderness to extremely cold plateau... The party committee of the academy, in conjunction with experts in the army, has successively led a number of instructors to the 3 army groups and nearly 20 combined units for investigation. , Came to the front line to meet the requirements of combat and construction, and accurately promote the optimization and upgrade of the teaching model of "education for war".
……
Stories of hard work, and firm vows, converge into a collective firm will, releasing a powerful momentum to accelerate transformation.
"How can the Chinese Army's infantry win the battlefield in the future?" The party committee of the academy and all teachers and students further unify their thinking: We must organize education to lead future military changes.
Relying on Fudan University and Jiangxi Normal University, the institute organized more than 20 key teaching staff training and pre-job training for more than 200 new teachers, and signed teacher sharing agreements with 4 high-quality universities; formed 13 innovations including "Army Combination and Infantry Operations" The team has explored and formed more than 100 achievements in new infantry combat research systems such as light, high mobility and air assault...
“For more than two years, we have kept the command of the commander in mind, planned the blueprint for reform, and practiced in the battle position, and continuously achieved new breakthroughs.” When it comes to transformation achievements, the leaders of the academy are like many treasures, “Military academies take advantage of red resources to cultivate "Research on Qualified Red Army Descendants" was approved as a special project for ideological and political research in colleges and universities of the National Social Science Fund; courses such as "The People's Army Will Never Forget the Red Blood" were rated as excellent demonstration courses by the Army; in October 2019, the Army’s infantry combat and political work were awarded Listed as a key discipline of the whole army.
94 years ago, the shot at the head of Nanchang closely connected the city with the mission of change.
In the new era, the faculty and students of the school are highly motivated. According to the requirement of "teaching what is needed for war and training what the troops need", they continue to struggle in their respective positions and strive to be the surging waves in the wave of reconstruction of the actual combat teaching system.
Cadet Xing Yagang is from a certain combined army of the Army. He has participated in several joint military combat exercises and witnessed many wonderful moments in the transformation and development of the Army's infantry.
Last year, he caught up with the policy of "double first-class university students and soldiers are exempted from exams to study in military academies." When choosing a school, he did not hesitate to fill in the Army Infantry Academy.
"Following the pace of military exercises, I appreciate the astonishing speed of the Army infantry's'flying' and experience the comprehensive upgrade of the'three-dimensional synthesis'. Here, I feel the era of the new type of infantry." Xing Yagang said, "Only Only when we sink our bodies and sharpen the ability to fight and win, can we live up to the command of the commander and shoulder the important tasks of the times!"

Short comment
Stand up for a clear direction for war education
Talent is the core competitiveness of modern warfare.
Throughout the history of wars in the world, a powerful army often comes out in large numbers.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Chairman Xi has placed the most emphasis on training and preparing for war.
How to conduct teaching around actual combat and focus on winning and educating talents is a topic of the times faced by military academies, and it is also the eternal mission of military academies' development.
The Army Infantry Academy keeps in mind the command of the commander-in-chief, faces the battlefield, faces the troops, and faces the future. It sets up a clear orientation for war education, and formulates education plans for the needs of the transformation and construction of the army. It organizes teaching around the needs of the army to build the ability to win, so that the students can learn from the academy. The school went directly to the battlefield.
Practice has shown that only by aiming at wars that require teaching and keeping a close eye on the troops' need for training can the precise connection between the supply side of talent training and the demand side of the future battlefield be achieved.
