2021, feel the pulse of the Chinese military academy
■Lei Bin
School opening, training on the battlefield, social practice, emergency rescue and disaster relief... In 2021, we will feel the youthful vitality and bloody responsibility of the cadets.
Daylight shines through the glass windows, obliquely shining on the desk, and the library of the National University of Defense Technology is quiet.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, the melodious violin sound came slowly, and the students looked up one after another.
After a while, an affectionate song sounded: "Sing a folk song to the party..."
Following the sound, within 5 minutes, dozens of students gathered in the hall. They spontaneously sang "Sing a Folk Song for the Party", and the song resounded through the library.
At this moment, the Army Armored Forces Academy is bathing in bright spring light.
At some point, there was a piano on the playground, and the music "Sing a Folk Song for the Party" sounded slowly.
Teachers and students came from all directions, waving their hands and singing indulgently.
Sunshine, square, military uniform, white coat.
On this day, students from the Armed Police Non-commissioned Officer School walked into Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. On the campus of the local university, they greeted the party flag, played music, and sang the same song.
This day is May 4, 2021, Youth Day.
Changsha, Beijing, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Wuhan, Xi'an... In this youth festival, military academies from all over the country spontaneously organized a special military academy "flash."
This "fantasy linkage" can't help but remind people of such high-spirited young students in the tumbling wind and thunder of the "May Fourth Movement" 102 years ago, as well as such a pure heart.
Time goes by, and the world is changed.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the party, and the party has led the people's army to march forward.
Looking back on this year, the military academy is also undergoing profound changes.
Today's group of young people are called the "powerful generation" and "powerful nation generation."
From these changes, we have listened to the more agitated voice of the times of the young Chinese soldiers, and felt the stronger pulse of the times of the Chinese military academy.
Changes in the curriculum
It’s not so much a "hurry up" as a "hurry up an exam"
There are no traces of time, and there are always some experiences that are unforgettable.
If Zheng Aofan, a 2021 graduate of the Naval University of Engineering, was asked to recall his military academy career, he might start with "a timetable."
Zheng Aofan bears a special label-the first batch of unmanned equipment engineering professional students.
In the introductory course for admissions, Zheng Aofan saw a densely packed list of required and restricted elective courses.
New profession, new challenge.
Nearly 70 compulsory courses, involving a teaching team of more than 100 people in 7 departments.
Zheng Aofan said that they were the "rushing" people in the school.
In the last class, I just argued with the classmates of our college about "what kind of hull has better performance", and in the next class I discussed with another classmate of the college about "which navigation and positioning method is more accurate in rainy weather"...
It's not so much "rushing to the field" as it is "rushing to the exam."
Entering the new era, the military changes are changing with each passing day, and the reform and transformation has a long way to go. The resulting "chain reaction" has also radiated into the curricula of the Chinese military academy.
The 39 courses of the School of Electronic Science of the National University of Defense Technology are derived from the "requirement list" of the frontline troops; the Rocket Corps Non-commissioned Officer School formulates personalized teaching plans according to the types of students; Shijiazhuang Flight Academy explores and optimizes the growth link of fighter pilots, and the first batch of J-10 flight students quickly Grow up and flutter into the sky; Rocket Army Engineering University offers courses such as "Basic Knowledge of Joint Operations" to build a joint combat practice participation platform to strengthen the students' joint combat literacy; Naval Military Medical University relies on the military vocational education platform to launch a series of lectures by academicians The micro-class, let the famous teacher's new class accompany the growth of the students...
When new things continue to appear in the military field, the vision of the cadets determines the future of the army to a certain extent.
In order to allow schools to further connect with camps, colleges and universities must move with the times in terms of talent training model and teaching system construction, take advantage of the trend, and complete the comprehensive transformation of teaching models, content, methods, and organizational forms as soon as possible.
In the TV series "Bright Sword", there is a story: After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the "Iron Triangle" of Northwest Shanxi, who was already a military-level cadre, entered the military academy for advanced studies, and eventually became an excellent general with a strategic vision and overall thinking.
Like them, this year, many groups of middle and senior commanders have entered the military academy and become cadets.
Ding Yongwei, a detachment leader of a navy department.
This fall, he left the sea and warships he was familiar with and went to the National Defense University for further training.
This training class composed of military commanders and cadres has caught up with the new version of the curriculum system launched by the National Defense University. The total number of courses has increased from 192 to 309, and the update rate of command courses has exceeded 90%.
These courses are aimed at the same direction-joint combat command.
As the course teaching continues to deepen, Ding Yongwei's feelings have become stronger: "The curriculum is closely aligned with the ability requirements of future joint operations for commanders. You can teach what you need in combat, and make up for what you lack in job performance."
The changes in the curriculum reflect the changes in vision and thinking.
We are delighted to see that this year, all military academies have generally carried out teaching reforms and re-engineering mechanisms, and the vane for educating people in the war has become clearer.
The Army Special Operations Academy and the 74th Army have established a normalized mutual assistance and mutual assistance mechanism, inviting outstanding grassroots commanders and professional training leaders into the classroom, and the students are evaluated, and strange troops are standing behind them; the Nanjing Campus of the Army Artillery and Air Defense Forces Academy organizes students to go deep The 72nd Army carried out on-site teaching, set the classroom on the front line of the exercise, and allowed the battalion commander to "guest" as the instructor; a brigade of the Army Aviation Academy established a dual-line training mode to maximize flight efficiency and train students' flight and command capabilities; The Air Force Early Warning Academy explores the introduction of online and offline hybrid teaching of main courses, increases the number of practical training hours for students, and strives to promote the transformation and upgrading of education and training...
On July 19, the Naval University of Engineering held a graduation ceremony.
In the loud military singing, 11 new majors from the school sent away the first batch of students.
With a new perspective, they rushed to the sea frontiers.
Ding Yongwei has been very busy recently: in the past week, he has completed 1 course assessment, 2 group seminars, and 1 project assignment.
That night, he had a dream: Army tanks, Air Force fighter planes, and Rocket Force's "Dongfeng Express", while boarding navy warships, sailing to the open ocean.
Changes in the circle of friends
The encounter between academies and troops is a two-way rush
Time is silent, and there are always some encounters that make people throbbing.
In April 2021, from Nanjing to Lhasa, 2950 kilometers westward all the way.
The team of experts and professors from the Army Engineering University, together with several military experts, retested nine graduate candidates from the Tibet Border Force.
This is a "meeting" about knowledge, talents and the future.
Candidates said that they want to return to campus, just want to "charge up" again, go to the college with questions, and return to the plateau with results.
To this end, the Army Engineering University has launched the "academic-military" dual tutor system, established an order-based training model, and tailored training programs for trainees.
"Charge" can be used as a hot word in this year's military academy.
While cadets and instructors are pursuing "recharge", the circle of friends of military academies is constantly expanding.
More than 40 political theory teachers, professional course teachers and political cadres from the Naval Aviation University entered Peking University one after another to participate in political theory teaching and seminars; the Army Military Medical University’s Plateau Military Medicine Department set up a research team to go to the snow-covered plateau to accurately focus on the training of plateau officers and soldiers Start scientific research; more than 180 faculty members of the Aviation Maintenance Academy of the Air Force Engineering University, go deep into the grassroots troops to follow the flight practice, and learn and train in the front line of the exercise; the Naval Service Academy's innovative team deeply understands the needs of the officers and soldiers, and has obtained a batch of research results to directly serve the troops Fighting capacity building...
The more the merrier.
There are more "friends" in the grassroots units, and the connotations of facing the battlefield, facing the army, and facing the future are more profound.
In the “trinity” of military academies education, military training practice, and military vocational education, the role of instructors, cadets, and military officers and soldiers in the new military talent training system is nothing new.
In October of this year, the teaching micro-classes recorded jointly by the instructor Wang Zhiyuan of the Army Service Academy and two incumbent educators were released on the campus Qiangjun website and received unanimous praise from the students.
They are planning to further improve the teaching micro-classes and upload them to the network platform for the reference of all officers and soldiers in the army.
The Radar Non-commissioned Officer School of the Air Force Early Warning Academy has successively held more than 60 "non-commissioned officers forum", specially invited more than 200 middle and senior non-commissioned officers to give lectures, which aroused enthusiastic responses.
Many students from the Dalian Naval Academy of the Navy participated in the research of the grassroots units, and the theoretical research reports they wrote were adopted by the combat units.
This year, a batch of in-service educators from the frontline troops and important positions entered the military academy. They brought the fresh experience of the troops into the military academy campus, and applied the scientific research results of the military academy to the practice of military training. Real combat power.
Not long ago, in the actual combat inspection operation of a brigade of the 72nd Army, the current officer student of the Army Artillery Air Defense Academy and the chief of staff of the brigade Su Wang used two latest scientific research results provided by the college professor Li Chenming to successfully achieve a new type of long-range fire strike. Equipment for the destruction of multiple targets.
Standing on the training ground filled with gunpowder and looking at the direction of the school, Su Wang said emotionally: "This is a two-way rush."
Changes in transcripts
The responsibility of the younger generation is to accumulate the strength of army development
Youth is boundless, and there are always some pictures that we will be grateful for for a long time.
In the Spring Festival of 2021, in response to the call for epidemic prevention and control, many military academies put down their bags to return home and celebrate the New Year with peace of mind.
One family, one smiling face, one caring one after another, are closely connected at both ends of the video.
The military academy campus in the cold winter is as warm as usual.
On New Year's Eve, Zhang Qingyang, a student at Naval University of Engineering, prepared a special New Year gift for his family.
"Mom and Dad, a good Chinese New Year!" The video was switched on, facing the camera, Zhang Qingyang was wearing a brand-new military uniform.
Like Zhang Qingyang, in the Spring Festival of 2021, the students at school for the New Year showed their respective transcripts.
Medals, certificates, ribbons... each of the achievements record their growth and engrave the mark of their youthful struggle.
What kind of youth struggling?
On the evening of June 17th, in the finals of CCTV's "National College Student Party History Knowledge Competition", a contestant dressed in military uniform and "a bar" on his shoulder stood out from 100 students from 100 colleges and universities across the country and won the championship. .
People remember this "post-95 man of science and engineering"-Lu Kuo, a doctoral student at the National University of Defense Technology.
What people don’t know is that this doctor of science and engineering has participated in more than 10 major scientific research projects inside and outside the military, published 15 academic papers, applied for 8 invention patents, and 1 national defense patent. He won the championship of the International Unmanned System Innovation Challenge for two consecutive years. ...
Military academies, men in science and engineering, won the crown in the party history knowledge contest, which is incredible to many people, but judging from the age group portrait of the Chinese military academy, it makes sense.
In the National College Student Biochemical Song Contest, the two contested songs "Pyrophosphate VII" and "Lipidspella" selected by the Air Force Military Medical University won the first prizes.
Student Xie Xiaohang said that their songs are either ethnic, hip-hop, or popular; there is a country, a family, and youth.
In the "Mozi Cup" national war chess game, the "Zhisheng Soldier Society" of the School of Aeronautical Engineering of the Air Force Engineering University became a "dark horse" for the first time.
Member Liu Shizhe felt that they were seeing the future battlefield through the "world of war chess".
The 8th Army International Cadet Week kicked off at the Army Engineering University. Cadets from 11 army academies and 12 foreign military academies of our army gathered on the "cloud."
In front of the screen, the trainees actively communicated with foreign military trainees, and their words showed stability and self-confidence.
The "Steel Nail Cup 2021" Gun King Tournament hosted by the Army Frontier and Coastal Defense Academy was brilliant and full of "war". The students from many military schools such as Rocket Army Engineering University, Air Force Military Medical University, Armed Police Engineering University, etc. have performed well... …
We have recorded too many shots like this in 2021.
Some people say that cadets are "slash youth", while others say that they are "polyhedrons."
Either way, they have only two basic attributes: soldiers and youth.
As a military school principal said: "The responsibility of the younger generation is to accumulate the strength for military development. In the new era, military academies must be both popular and professional."
Red, the belief is as strong as the rock; professional, you dare to be the first.
Only a school with all ambitions and a group of responsible young people can practice such rhetoric.
This year, more than 80% of the graduates of the Military Basic Education College of the National University of Defense Technology selected topics focusing on practical issues in the construction of the military's combat effectiveness; more than 90% of the graduates of the Naval Engineering University applied for positions in difficult and remote areas or front-line combat forces; the University of Aerospace Engineering for Strategic Support Forces More than half of the students entered the new domain and new quality battle position.
In the past few days, everyone has begun to "show" the 2021 report card. Liu Chengfeng, a student of the Information Engineering University of the Strategic Support Force, may tell you: The most proud achievement is his worn-out combat boots.
In mid-to-late July, during heavy rains in Henan, students from the Strategic Support Forces Information Engineering University and the Zhengzhou Campus of the Army Artillery Air Defense Forces Academy dispatched starry nights to perform flood fighting and rescue missions.
Dams, reservoirs, and villages have left their footprints.
Li Zhiming, a student of the Army Infantry Academy, will definitely show you that faceless photo.
The epidemic hit, and during the high temperature of nearly 40°C, he voluntarily applied to serve as a sentry on duty. Wearing protective clothing, he was carefully disinfected and registered, leaving only a white back in the camera.
This year, we have witnessed many touching moments and experienced many hot events that attracted attention.
I am very happy that the figure of the cadets has always been with the country and the army.
Their achievements are not only written in the examination room and training ground, but also in their own practice of resonating with the times and fulfilling their responsibilities for the society.
Everything in the past is a prologue.
Standing at the end of 2021, we see that the campus of the Chinese Military Academy will usher in another round of fiery sunrise.
