Hou Guoling, leader of the 40th Division of Unit 66011——
Blood to Battle Sharpened Blade
Our reporter Han Cheng correspondent Li Hongyu
The eastern foot of Taihang is full of gunpowder smoke.
Recently, an actual combat drill of Unit 66011 is underway.
A major officer commanded the special operations team to sneak in the jungle, and the snipers quickly took advantage of the position.
"Crack!" The gun sounded and the target landed, successfully completing the sniper mission.
This major is Hou Guoling, the leader of the 40th Division of the Ministry.
After 18 years in the army, he grew from a soldier to a special operations team leader, Hou Guo led the battle and left a shining military mark.
The most memorable thing for him was his first expedition for the country.
That year, China was invited to participate in the international special forces competition for the first time, and Hou Guoling represented China on the expedition.
The first competition event "Parachute Dropping Behind the Enemy" was launched on a windy and rainy day. The organizers temporarily adjusted the original 400-meter skydiving height to 350 meters.
Ultra-low-altitude parachuting is a world-recognized high-risk subject, and in addition to complex weather, it is even more dangerous.
"To jump or not to jump?" Facing the referee's question, some national team members chose to give up.
"When you go abroad, you represent Chinese soldiers. You must jump!" During the storm, Hou Guoling jumped out of the cabin door, and his teammates followed suit and landed in the designated area.
In the end, they won the gold medal in the project.
From the international arena to the domestic training, Hou Guo participated in 36 competitions organized by superiors and 5 international competitions after taking the lead.
In the international arena, he has won 23 medals, including 14 gold medals, breaking many training records.
"Being a soldier is the tip of a knife, and leading a soldier must also be a sharp blade." After years of international competition, Hou Guoling pursued the ultimate in military training.
At the beginning of 2020, not long after he took up his post in the department, Hou Guoling noticed that a professional backbone of a special operations team was on leave during a drill organized by a higher-level organization, but no one took his place.
"There must be no disconnection in the combat effectiveness chain." Hou Guoling kept an eye on the problem, led the officers and soldiers to rectify the problem immediately, and developed a plan of "one master and one backup, one-to-one correspondence, short-term supplementation, and internal rotation". To ensure that the troops operate according to the code and can move at any time.
"Not only do I want to take the first place, but I also need to bring out a strong team." Hou Guoling set a new goal for himself.
After many years of fighting in the military training ground, he deeply realized that the rapid improvement of combat effectiveness through innovative training methods is an important starting point for realizing transformation.
Combining the training experience accumulated over the years, he led the team to explore training methods such as "situational" and "heuristic", which improved the quality and efficiency of training.
Last year, Hou Guotie led the team to prepare for the special combat competition. Individual officers and soldiers encountered bottlenecks in the subject of traction, and their results stagnated.
He carried out intensive training by increasing the weight and setting up dangerous obstacles. In the end, the team took the shortest time to traverse the course, and 4 special operations teams were awarded the "Honor Team".
As the chief coach and expert of the shooting course of the department, not long ago, he organized a training camp for newly issued rifles, while exploring and exploring, summed up shooting formulas, trained a number of shooting instructors, and shortened the generation cycle of new equipment combat effectiveness.
From the hinterland of the Central Plains to the Saibei Desert, from the Linhai Xueyuan to the coastal beach.
In recent years, closely following the pace of troops training and preparations, Hou Guolead has more systematic thinking.
In the past, parachute training was mostly carried out alone.
In order to explore the transformation of the actual combat application of this course, Hou Guoling took the initiative to take the heavy responsibility, leading the officers and soldiers of the detachment to remotely maneuver to a certain place in the Central Plains, and cooperated with a certain air force to complete the multi-door and multi-way parachute training of fixed-wing aircraft, and coherently organized the parachute and battlefield rescue. , key points of control, guided strikes and other subjects, explore innovative parachute infiltration tactics to promote and use in the army.
Running all the way to the war, Hou Guo took the lead and won the first-class merit 2 times, the second-class merit 2 times, and the third-class merit 6 times. Experts, the first "four have" new era pacesetters of the army, and individual pacesetters in the preparation of the whole army, the team led by the army was commended as the "four irons" advanced units by the group army.

Hou Changling, who was the commander, quickly searched and located, and quickly ruled out the special situation.
A few minutes later, the great country's long sword "ignited" on time.
Hou Changling put forward higher requirements for himself when he was a trumpeter in order to practice the unique skills of "clear mouth", "accurate sight" and "one-handed skill".

During the actual installation operation training stage this year, the team has undertaken a number of tasks.
Hou Changling volunteered to take charge of the training of the launch unit.
He is both a commander and a trainer. He leads the officers and soldiers in strict and meticulous training in a way of combining all points and points, and steadily improves the comprehensive ability of the launcher. In the actual installation operation assessment organized by the superior organization, he has achieved excellent results.
A squadron of the Second Mobile Corps of the Armed Police——
The red flag is passed down from generation to generation
Qian Runze, special correspondent of this newspaper, Tu Dunfa
"Beacon fires are burning in the middle, fighting against Japan to save the country and fighting wolves, Empress Palace, Lubai Mountain, and young people even shock the enemy..." In the dense forest in northern Zhejiang, the fierce battle between red and blue has just ended, and the battle song is played at the front of the trenches, and a squadron of the Second Mobile Corps of the Armed Police is launched An enrolment ceremony was held.
After the "Devil Week" extreme training and multiple rounds of confrontation and selection, the "post-00" reserve special forces member Yan Weiwen stood out.
In the face of the "Hundred Victories" flag and wearing a brand-new team badge, Yan Weiwen swore: "I am the 6676th successor of Hundred Victories, I solemnly promise..."
"During the battle in Pin County in 1948, squad leader Zhou Heizi led 8 people in the squad. With the cooperation of the brothers' squad and platoon, they used tactics flexibly to capture more than 250 people, including the commander and commissioner of the enemy's major general. The baton of history passed to us. We only have the obligation to add luster to the battle flag, and have no right to smear..." After the joining ceremony, the squadron instructor Miao Bin told the heroic deeds combined with random education, and encouraged the new team members to climb the peak and continue the glory.
The predecessor of the squadron was born in 1937. It participated in more than 100 battles during the Revolutionary War.
The red battle flag has long become a family heirloom of "the successor of a hundred victories in a hundred battles".
In 2018, the squadron was transformed into a special operations squadron during the reform.
At that time, except for the two team leaders who graduated from special warfare, the other officers and soldiers were all from the mobile unit.
"Even if there are huge difficulties, you have to find a way." Jin Huanglei, the first instructor after the reform, was a cadre who grew up in the squadron. He clearly remembered that whenever a "stumbling block" was encountered, the party branch would ask for "heirloom" advice. "——The record book of more than 100 party branch meetings preserved in 1964.
The minutes of the meeting recorded such an experience: In 1964, the troops carried out a new training program - swimming training.
Under the circumstance that most officers and soldiers have zero foundation, the squadron promotes military democracy and carries out "one gang, one" and "one pair of red" activities in accordance with the principle of "step by step, teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, and improving as a whole".
With the joint efforts of all officers and soldiers, the squadron was well received by the superiors during the assessment and acceptance.
After research, the party branch decided to learn from the previous successful experience.
They give full play to the main body and pioneering spirit of officers and soldiers, and make tools to improve the quality and efficiency of training; Activities, let the officers and soldiers practice more and more vigorously in the competition...
Difficulties were overcome one by one, and results were refreshed again and again: In 2018, after half a year of intensive training, all the officers and soldiers of the squadron passed 12 subjects at one time in the year-end acceptance assessment; Demonstration missions, and the research results of combat training methods have been comprehensively promoted; in 2020, the squadron won the first place in the evaluation of special warfare capacity building; in 2021, the squadron participated in a confrontation exercise and actively explored new ways of "technology +" to boost special warfare training , innovated more than 10 tactics, and achieved two 100% hit rate and damage rate in live ammunition inspection...
In recent years, whenever the troops organize training camps, some brother units will come to the squadron to visit and learn.
Faced with a wall of medals and pennants, some people will ask, what is the secret to the success of the squadron leader?
"After winning the honor, we will not hold a 'celebration banquet', but organize everyone to find shortcomings and check for shortcomings." Miao Bin, secretary of the party branch, spoke of the squadron's strong sense of self-revolution.
The masses dare to speak out about party member problems, the party members dare to speak out about party members’ problems, and the branch committee dares to criticize the problems of secretaries. In the criticism, the “heirs of success in a hundred battles” clearly realized that only by always keeping striving and enterprising can they continue to obtain honors.
It is precisely because of this that in the course of 85 years of combat, the squadron has successively won honors such as "National May 4th Red Flag League Branch", "Advanced Unit in Grass-roots Construction of the Army", and "Advanced Grass-roots Party Organization of the Army". 8 times for the second class and 41 times for the third class.
Sing the song of youth of struggle and strong army
Wang Zhongbo Xi Dong
The wheel of history is rolling forward, and the power of youth is surging.
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Youth League of China and the year of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
The special year endows this year's May Fourth Youth Day with extraordinary significance.
Behind it is a magnificent history of struggle, and in front of it is the rising sun of revival.
Integrating personal ideals into the cause of the party and the people, and forging ahead in unity under the leadership of the party, can youth bloom with bright flowers and compose a magnificent chapter of a new journey of forging ahead and a new era of meritorious deeds.
This is the revelation of history and the strong voice of the times.
I have never forgotten that the memory of youth in modern China began 100 years ago in the stormy era.
Thousands of patriotic young people are full of ambitions to save the nation and revitalize China, seeking the truth of saving the country and serving the country.
In 1922, under the direct leadership of the party, the Chinese Communist Youth League was formally established.
Recalling the past, the Communist Youth League has stood unswervingly under the banner of the party since its inception, united and led the vast number of outstanding young people to take patriotism, progress, democracy, and science as the main themes, bravely shoulder the historical responsibility, and fight for the salvation of the nation. Building a self-made, hard-working entrepreneur, working hard for national rejuvenation, persevering, and writing a magnificent poem of Chinese youth with youth and blood.
"Young people are full of vigor and courage." There are many youthful marks of dedication and dedication in the long history: Mao Zedong was 28 years old when the National Congress of the Communist Party of China was held, Lei Feng was only 22 years old when he died, and Wang Jicai, who had been on the island for 32 years, came to the island. 26 years old, the average age of Chang'e team, Shenzhou team and Beidou team who serve the country in space is more than 30 years old... History and reality have proved that young people have ideals and responsibility, the country has a future, and the nation has hope!
The young officers and soldiers are the main body of our army and the new force of the strong military industry.
Looking back at the combat footprint of the people's army, the blood of youth is eternal in sticking to the original mission, and in the determination to strengthen the army and build the army.
Dong Cunrui sacrificed his life to bomb the bunker, Huang Jiguang blocked the bullet hole with his body, Zhang Chao chased the sea of dreams, Du Fuguo bravely entered the minefield... The vast number of young officers and soldiers used their loyal belief, youthful strength, and iron-blooded responsibility to cast the steel backbone of Chinese soldiers, writing One after another, the heroic hymns of daring to be the first and being strong.
"Young people are like the beginning of the sky, and there will be a huge world, and there is a long way to go." To achieve the goal of the army's 100-year struggle, the task is arduous and the responsibility is heavy. There is only struggle, and nothing else.
As the party's assistant and reserve army, all levels should take active action, and take the opportunity of the founding of the Communist Youth League for the centenary to carry out on-the-job meritorious practice activities, new era meritorious model creation activities, and mass military training competitions to inspire young officers and soldiers to raise their ideals and sails. Let go of the dream of a strong army, single-mindedly, consistently, and passionately treat your career as a career, a position as a battle position, and a mission as a life, striving to be the "screw" of love and dedication, the "vanguard" of fulfilling the mission, and the "leader" of transformation and construction. The main force", interpreting the glory of youthful enthusiasm and struggle to strengthen the army.
The soldier's battle position is tied to the safety of the country at one end and the happiness of the people at the other end.
The young officers and soldiers who are in the company of the playground and accompanied by guns and guns must always have the worry of defending the territory and the frontier, always think about the responsibility of training troops to fight, always stand up for the party's ambition to serve the country, use youth and sweat to sharpen their true fighting skills, and use sacrifice and dedication. Refining the top swordsman, smashing and refining in arduous and rigorous training, quenching and tempering in an environment similar to actual combat, experienced in severe and complex struggles, and training the spirit of not afraid of hardship and not afraid of death in battle, you will be able to fight hard and dare to fight A strong team of elite soldiers who are good at fighting and winning.
The safety of the country and the country is on the shoulders of the youth.
If the crisis of sinking a hundred years ago inspired passionate young people to fight for the salvation of the nation, the grand blueprint for the new era also inspires contemporary young people to continue their struggle for national rejuvenation. Forge indestructible Chinese power.
