Bidding farewell to the battle position, Wei Mingchun paid an affectionate salute to the war eagle that sailed away.
Before Wei Mingchun retired, he overhauled the equipment for the last time.
Wei Mingchun shared the honor with his comrades-in-arms and encouraged them to build a meritorious military camp.
At the retirement ceremony, Wei Mingchun clings to the military camp.
Late at night, veteran Wei Mingchun was lying on the dormitory bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep for a long time. Scenes from his military career flashed through his mind like movie clips...
Wei Mingchun is a third-class sergeant major in the communications battalion of a certain field station of the Naval Aviation Corps, who has been in the army for 20 years and has been engaged in communications support work for 20 years. Over the past 20 years, he has insisted on accurately positioning and correcting the course of the Warhawk in the communication navigation station, and has successively guaranteed more than 10,000 fighters to fly high and long.
Once, a certain type of navigation aircraft suddenly failed, and the officers and men on duty failed to find the cause for a long time. Less than 3 hours before the flight time, just when the comrades-in-arms were at a loss, Wei Mingchun, who was resting, rushed to the machine room. It didn't take long for him to lock in the faulty unit based on the faint motor noise and quickly replace the faulty element, and the navigator immediately worked.
If you don't practice martial arts well, you are not a qualified soldier. After 20 years of service, Wei Mingchun, who was only a Chinese when he joined the army, relied on enthusiasm and hard work, mastered the maintenance skills of more than 10 types of equipment such as medium-wave navigation aircraft and field navigation vehicles, and took the lead in improving a variety of communication support plans, winning one "hard battle" after another.
As the director of the communication navigation station, Wei Mingchun strives for excellence in his work and devotes himself to management. The navigation station was small, and the warriors ate and lived there. He is a veteran, but also a master, teaching business hand in hand, and caring to lead the team. In the last few days of working at the navigation station, he continued to lead everyone out of the morning exercises, tidy up the house, delve into business, exchange ideas, and personally cook, making the comrades's favorite chili fried meat.
The day of retirement is coming as scheduled, and the flight training in the field is still hot. With a deep attachment to the military camp, Wei Mingchun and his comrades-in-arms reluctantly bid farewell. In the air, a roar came. He looked up, raised his right arm, and solemnly saluted a military salute.
Goodbye, my Warhawk!
