"I've never slackened off, I've never wanted to give up, I just don't want to leave any regrets for my military career."
This is Li Junchen's testimonial when recalling his career as a commander in the past seven years. Here he was regarded as a brother by the soldiers, and was affectionately known as the "CEO of the army".
"Xiao Li, the blind date introduced to you this weekend, do you want to go over and have a meal with someone?"
"I'm afraid it won't work this week, the outpost still has a handover task, I can't rest assured, next time."
Taking the affairs of the company as the first priority is the habit that company commander Li Junchen has adhered to since the moment he became the commander-in-chief, and he has insisted on it for seven years.
When it comes to his tenure, everyone always thinks of the "big brother" who wears black glasses, has a little scum, and always laughs and giggles with the soldiers.
The cold and summer, the stars and the moon, and the persistence of more than 2,500 days and nights have forged his inseparable feelings for the company and the brothers of the company.
From cadets to platoon leaders, from instructors to company commanders and assistant engineers! No matter how his posts change, he has always been deeply rooted in the grassroots, loved his posts, vigorously grasped the training of troops and prepared for war, aimed to win the war, and firmly practiced the loyalty oath of "reassuring the party and strengthening the army with me."
"Today's self must be more brilliant than yesterday's", these are the words he has used to spur himself since he was a student.
When he first became a company commander, because of his unsympathetic style of training and the fact that mistakes must be corrected, the officers and men privately called him "black-faced company commander."
For military training has always been high standards, strict requirements, at that time the company is in the stage of replacement of the old and new, the young comrades are not skilled in business, resulting in each optical cable connection time is relatively long, the company commander personally went to battle to teach young comrades how to shorten the speed of the connection.
It is precisely because of his vigor of daring to fight, dare to fight, and dare to break through that he has led the officers and men of the company to successfully complete all the support tasks entrusted by their superiors on many occasions.
"Outstanding Party Affairs Workers" "Third Class Merit" "Collective Third Class Merit" "Advanced Grassroots Party Organization" "'Four Iron' Advanced Units"....... The company cut through thorns on the road to a strong army and received one honor after another.
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, do every little thing, complete every task, and fulfill every responsibility." As a company commander, he will be present in every corner of the company.
In Li Junchen's cognition, the company commander is not only a position that only needs to give orders, but also needs to go down to the most basic level and understand the most real "battle situation" with the soldiers, only in this way can the entire company achieve progress.
In October 2020, the Mianyang earthquake was sudden, and as soon as the disaster began, Li Junchen immediately organized the officers and men of the company to prepare supplies and leave for the Mianyang post.
As early as the day before, his mother was admitted to the Mianyang Central Hospital due to illness, and at this time Li Junchen was faced with the dilemma of commanding the emergency rescue of the company and his mother lying on the hospital bed.
Faced with a choice, he resolutely made a phone call to his father, and then organized officers and soldiers to drive to the Mianyang outpost, although the distance from the post to the hospital was only a short 23 kilometers, but at this moment it seemed so far away, perhaps in Li Junchen's heart, this is the distance of responsibility, the distance of mission, and the distance to the masses of the people.
It wasn't until the mission was completed that he hurried to the hospital and looked at his mother lying on the hospital bed, who had always smiled and shed tears of indebtedness.
Dedicate loyalty to the motherland and integrate youth into the mission. Li Junchen used his own actions to show what loyalty and responsibility are, he used his youth, his body and mind, to dedicate his sincere heart to the great motherland, and he always practiced the company's oath of "only blowing the charge trumpet and not retreating."
