The Central Military Commission recently issued a circular commending 10 all-armament war pacesetter units and 20 individual all-armament war pacesetters. Zhoukou of Henan Province was a "double first-class meritorious hero" and "strong army jingwu Henan soldier" Hou Guo was on the list. On the eve of the Spring Festival, the relevant responsible persons of the People's Armed Forces Department of Luyi County, Henan Province, and the County Veterans Affairs Bureau, together with the yin yin entrustment of Li Gang, secretary of the county party committee, and Guo Juntao, the county magistrate, sent the plaque of "Individual Model Soldier of the All-Armament War" and the condolence money to Hou Guoling's home.
Every military merit badge and every good report of meritorious service embodies the sweat of the soldiers who are determined to serve the country, and carries not only an honor, but also the great feelings of the soldiers to devote themselves to national defense and dedicate themselves to national defense. Li Feng, political commissar of colonel of the county's People's Armed Forces Department, and his party learned in detail about the recent situation of Hou Guoling's family, inquired about the physical condition and peacetime life of the parents of the heroes, and thanked them for sending such outstanding talents to the troops and winning honors for their hometown. At the same time, I would like to thank the families of military personnel for their support and dedication to national defense construction.
Hou Guoling's mother said excitedly: "The honor of the national leader today is all cultivated by the party and the army, and I am very grateful to the leaders of the army and the local government for the honor given to us, and I will encourage him to serve with peace of mind, continue to work hard, and strive to achieve good results and make new achievements!" And said on the spot: "Don't worry at home, I'm here!" ”
It is understood that Hou Guoling was born in an ordinary rural family in Luyi County, Henan Province, and his father was once an armed police soldier. In December 2004, Hou Guoling was honorably enlisted in The Army in Luyi County, and is now the leader of a certain unit, since joining the army for 17 years, he has always adhered to the original mission of being iron-hearted to the party and daring to fight and win, and has participated in 36 competitions at or above the brigade level, 5 international competitions, won 14 gold medals and 23 medals in the international arena, won 2 first-class merits, 2 second-class merits, and 6 third-class merits, and has been rated as an advanced individual in the international special forces competition, an elite pacesetter in the whole army, and an excellent reconnaissance commander in the whole army. He is a national young post expert and a pacesetter for the army's first "four haves" revolutionary soldiers in the new era. In 2009, he participated in the International Special Forces Competition, won 8 single first places in 13 competition subjects, and broke 6 single first records; in 2013, he participated in the all-army special forces competition, won 3 gold and 1 silver, and achieved the excellent result of 1st place in the total score; in 2016, he participated in the Australian Small Arms Shooting Competition, as a sniper team member, won 2 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze in 7 competition subjects, and created a record of "1128 meters" for Chinese snipers to snipe the farthest target in the international arena From 2016 to 2018, he participated in the Russian International Military Competition twice, leading the team to win a total of 10 first places.
As an outstanding representative of the "good soldiers in Luyi," Hou Guoling once said that to be a soldier is to seek war, to be a soldier is to win a war, and as a soldier, it is necessary to regard the post as a battle position, fully carry forward the spirit of not being afraid of hardship and death, train strong command ability, train combat skills, and practice hard fighting style, and with a lofty spiritual outlook, be ready to fight at any time, fight ceaselessly for the great motherland, and add glory to the hometown.
Let the honor no longer be obscure, and truly achieve "glory" back to the hometown. In recent years, the People's Armed Forces Department of Luyi County has actively built an honor system for supporting the military and giving priority to the military, and every important festival, it is necessary to actively coordinate with the party committee and government to carry out the activity of sending good news to military personnel who have received meritorious service awards, and regard sending good news to families who have received meritorious service awards as an important part of supporting the military and their superior subordinates, so as to truly make military personnel and military dependents feel glorious and warm, let military personnel become a respected profession in the whole society, and create a strong atmosphere of honor and glory for serving as soldiers and serving in the army. Up to now, 35 officers and soldiers from Luyi have won awards of the third class or above.
