A brigade of the 73rd Group Army of the Army "The Fourth Company of Jingwu Jingwu of the Strong Army" --
"Honor on the left shoulder, responsibility on the right shoulder"
"During the Long March period, the officers and men of the whole company crossed the Jiajin Mountain, where the air was thin and snowed all year round, crossed the vast meadows that were rarely visited, crossed countless rapids and dangerous shoals, turned to Sichuan, Shaanxi, and Gansu, and smashed the enemy's countless encirclements, pursuits, and interceptions..." In the middle of summer, in the theoretical class of the "Red Fourth Company of The Strong Army" of a certain brigade of the Army's 73rd Group Army, Chen Siyu, the instructor of the company, was telling young soldiers about the revolutionary history of the company.
The "Red Fourth Company of The Strong Army" is a heroic company born from the jute uprising. In the 95 years since the establishment of the company, from the beginning of the uprising to the march of the Long March, from the night attack on Yangmingbao to the battlefield of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, the company has been in the wind and rain and the red heart has not changed. He participated in more than 100 battles, was awarded honorary titles 7 times, won collective battle merits 43 times, and emerged 24 heroic models... These shining honors and glorious battle histories have been forged and accumulated, and four thick spiritual genes have been constructed.
In the fourth company, everyone would tell battle stories and sing red songs. Whether a new soldier leaves the company or a new cadre reports, the first thing to do when he arrives at the company is to visit the company history museum. "We hope that through the education on casting souls, we will inspire everyone to draw strength from the glorious history of the company, ignite their enthusiasm for striving to strengthen the army, and enhance the fighting spirit of everyone to strengthen the army." Chen Siyu said.
"The fourth company has an unwritten standard: there is no best training, only better." Company Commander Wu Chenqing introduced: "The left shoulder shoulders honor, the right shoulder shoulders responsibility, and the officers and men regard the practice of strong combat skills as the goal and the standard of combat effectiveness as the fundamental standard." ”
In 2017, with the pace of reform, the four companies were transformed from infantry companies to armored infantry companies. From "iron feet" to "steel tracks," the officers and men of the fourth company held their breath and wanted to take the forefront and serve as benchmarks in the same type of company. Under the scorching sun, the temperature inside the chariot reached more than 50 degrees Celsius, and the officers and men drilled into the chariot and insisted on training. Artillery technician Tang Gongjian's hands are full of calluses and more than 60 scars on his hands, which are the marks of his transformation from infantry to artillery technicians.
When the infantry fighting vehicles entered the line for 100 days, the company ushered in the transformation examination - the first live fire. In this examination, four consecutive performances were outstanding: the pass rate reached 100%, the excellent rate exceeded 40%, and the first "pass" in the transformation was obtained.
Looking at the hunting and hunting battle flag on the training ground, Wu Chenqing said: "We insist on constantly improving the level of training, laying the foundation with one move and one style, practicing hard skills bit by bit, and forging ahead on the road of strengthening the army!"

The "Iron and Steel Battalion" of the Sichuan Armed Police Corps ————
"One day is a steel warrior, a lifetime is a steel heir"
In the summer, the Sichuan West Plateau is filled with smoke. In the darkness of the night, the UAV launched three-dimensional reconnaissance, and the fire group launched a surprise attack on the depth of the target according to the intelligence.
After 4 hours of fierce fighting, the examination was over. The officers and men of the "Iron Battalion" of the Sichuan Armed Police Corps, who were tasked with encircling and annihilating them, had just returned to the camp to rest, and the emergency collection whistle sounded again! After 10 consecutive hours of drills, the officers and men became more and more courageous and their fighting spirit remained undiminished. At dawn, the fiery red battle flag of the "Steel Battalion" was particularly dazzling against the background of the morning sun.
Firm faith and the courage to fight and win have always been the genes engraved in the bones of the "steel camp".
More than 70 years ago, in the Battle of Huaihai, Zhang Yingcai, then commander of the 1st Battalion of the 38th Regiment of the 13th Brigade, led more than 500 soldiers of the battalion to hold the position of Xiaozhangzhuang, fought for 24 hours, and annihilated more than 1,000 enemy soldiers. After the victory of the battle, the 1st Battalion was awarded the honorary title of "Iron and Steel Battalion" and the honorary pennant of "Wisdom and Courage, No Concession".
More than 70 years have passed, the original intention of the "steel camp" has not changed. At the end of 2017, the troops received reform and adjustment orders to move from the plains to the plateau. At this time, the "Iron and Steel Battalion" had a new name -- the Second Mobile Brigade of the Fourth Mobile Detachment of the Sichuan Armed Police Corps.
Instructor Zhu Qingting clearly remembered that on the way to the new garrison camp, there was a particularly steep mountain road, with cliffs on both sides and rapid rivers under the mountain. The new station is located in the Western Sichuan Plateau at an altitude of 3,500 meters, and the climate is dry and cold, and it snows most of the year.
The conditions were harsh and life was miserable, but the determination of all officers and men to stick to their positions in battle had never changed.
In July 2018, when a flood broke out in Ruoerge County, Sichuan Province, officers and men of the "Iron and Steel Battalion" were ordered to rush to the rescue. "We braved the heavy rain, moved sandbags, blocked dikes, and in some places the water was flooding to the neck." Bansun Siyu recalled that everyone was tired from continuous fighting, but no one wanted to rest. In two days and two nights, the soldiers carried more than 2,000 cubic meters of sand and gravel, reinforced more than 1,800 meters of embankments, and rescued 129 people.
After completing the task, Sun Siyu's arm was sunburned off a layer of skin. "When I videoked my mom, she was in tears. I said to her, this is the honor of the Iron Man! ”
In recent years, according to the needs of the task, the "Iron and Steel Battalion" has summed up more than 30 groups of combat data in high-altitude areas, overcome more than 10 difficult problems such as equipment maintenance and communication support under the conditions of high cold and lack of oxygen, and completed 15 rescue and surprise missions.
"One day is a steel warrior, and a lifetime is a steel descendant", stationed in the west of Sichuan to guard the plateau, the officers and men of the "steel battalion" made a sonorous and powerful oath. (Reporter Li Zhuoer Lian Yi participated in the writing)
A certain brigade of airborne troops of the Air Force "Eighth Company of Shangganling Special Gong" --
"Only blow the trumpet, do not retreat"
"Heroic advance, plant the red flag on the liberated position", in the honor room of the "Shangganling Special Gong Eighth Company" of a certain brigade of the airborne troops of the Air Force, a battle flag with 381 bullet holes is still bright and dazzling after years. This heroic battle flag records the glorious history of this company's fearlessness of strong enemies and bloody battles.
In 1952, in the Battle of Shangganling, the officers and men of the Eighth Company fought bloodily for 43 days, insisted on fighting in the tunnel for 14 days and nights, and launched a charge against the enemy again and again, and finally planted this battle flag full of bullet holes on the main peak of Shangganling. During the battle, the officers and men of the Eighth Company, under the leadership of the "Tunnel Road Party Branch," shouted the battle slogan of "only blowing the trumpet of the charge, not retreating, and with their tenacious will to fight and the spirit of fearless sacrifice, they displayed the style of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army."
"In the Battle of Shangganling, the Eight Companies were burned out three times and rebuilt three times, and no one flinched in the face of the rain of bullets and bullets." The company commander introduced to xiangdong: "The red gene and heroic spirit of the company are the most vivid textbooks for officers and men. ”
Whenever a new recruit leaves the company, the eighth company will organize them to visit the honor room and tell the glorious traditions and heroic stories of the company; Whenever a major task goes out, the party branch of the Eighth Company must organize officers and men to swear an oath to the battle flag.
In a certain exercise, the officers and men of the Eighth Company took the lead in entering the "battlefield" as parachute assault forces. Unexpectedly, due to the excessive wind speed on the ground, the warrior Jin Tianyu failed to control his posture and fell to the ground when he landed. After returning to God, he stood up from the ground, fell down again, got up again, and still insisted on running towards the battle position. "At that time, I had only one thought in my mind: As a soldier of the Eighth Company, I would never retreat!" Kim Said.
"The officers and men of the company have their own honor number. From the moment it was put on, the trumpet of the charge never stopped. Zhu Huafeng, an instructor of the company, said, "Whenever a major task is carried out, everyone will pin this honor number to their chests and always remind themselves to carry forward the fine traditions and strive to be the vanguard of a strong army." ”
In the new era, in the face of transformation and construction, joint exercises and joint training, and urgent, difficult, dangerous, and heavy tasks, the eight companies have competed to be the vanguard and dare to take the lead, which has become a business card for the grass-roots construction of airborne troops.

The Navy's "Model Boat for Practicing the Goal of Strengthening the Army" 372 Submarine Officers and Men Group ————
"To sail is to go out, to dive is to fight"
In the hinterland of the South China Sea, under the calm sea surface, the 372 submarine of a submarine detachment of the Southern Theater Navy is quietly cruising.
"Ding!" The alarm suddenly sounded, and the officers and men quickly rushed to the battle position. "'Enemy ship' propeller noise was spotted ahead!" Zhong Wen, the captain of a certain crew, calmly ordered the officers and men to quickly carry out underwater maneuvers and successfully launched a simulated attack.
Since its establishment in 2003, the crew has piloted 372 submarines to complete major training tasks many times and has received many meritorious awards. In 2016, the 372 submarine was awarded the honorary title of "Model Boat for Practicing the Goal of Strengthening the Army" by the Central Military Commission.
In 2014, the 372 submarines set out to carry out a combat emergency pull and combat readiness long-distance voyage training organized by the Navy. That night, the submarine was diving in the deep sea, and everything was in order. At midnight, the submarine's depth gauge hands suddenly jumped downward sharply. A pipe in the main motor cabin suddenly ruptured again, and the sea water splashed into the cabin in a jet-like manner, and suddenly the cabin was a water mist.
Recalling the scene at that time, zhao Manxing, the host technician, still remembered: "We all stuck to our posts, and no one flinched." "The officers and men of the whole boat cooperated closely, executed dozens of passwords and completed more than 500 actions within 3 minutes, accurately and tacitly cooperated, and finally drove the submarine to successfully escape from danger."
"Only by being meticulous can we be foolproof." Chen Zujun, an electrician technician, sighed that behind the success, it is inseparable from the consistent and solid training of officers and men.
The crew team strives to become a benchmark and model in training and preparing for war, and undertakes many major training tasks. "We have always adhered to training strictly and assiduously from difficulties, continuously improved the level of actual combat, and strived to build a contingent of elitely armed boats that are not afraid of war in peacetime and the enemy in wartime." Zhong Wen introduced that the crew has trained "must kill skills" such as concealed penetration and precision strikes, and has explored and formed a number of tactical innovations on the basis of the normal use of troops at sea.
"To sail is to go on a journey, and to dive is to fight." Zhong Wen said firmly, "We are always ready, listen to the call, dare to fight, and live up to the mission!" (Reporter Liu Botong)
