Beijing, 29 Jul (Xinhua) -- On 29 July, the Xinhua Daily Telegraph published a report entitled "When Youth Choose to Fight: From 'Late Soldiers' to Sharpshooters."
Dawa Droga "on fire"!
Previously, a video of "a Tibetan female sniper breaking the fuse with one shot" rushed to Weibo's hot search and was forwarded by mainstream media such as the Central Broadcasting Military and Xinhua Daily Telegraph. Some netizens commented: "This is the idol we want to chase." ”
Bright eyes, bright smiles, athletic posture... Dawa Zhuoga, who is now a college student at the Armed Police Officers College, always exudes a vigorous youthful atmosphere.
In fact, Dawa Droga was not born a good soldier, let alone a sharpshooter from the beginning. In the past, her cultural foundation was very poor, the shooting level was "very bad", she was like Xu Sanduo in "Soldier Assault", with the persistent spirit of "not abandoning and not giving up", from the "ugly duckling" who was not optimistic in the army to the goddess gunner step by step.
Ten years after the sword, this Tibetan girl born in 1994 sang the song of youth in a "counterattack", let us go into the military camp and reveal the secret to you.

This summer, Dawa Zhuoga wore a "bar" for the first time to wear a "bar" of the trainees to go home. Seeing her happy family, she felt that everything was worth it.

Dawa Zhuoga's family lives in Gangze Village, Gongga County, Shannan, Tibet. His father, Renzeng, is 66 years old, and dawa Droga is the youngest of the four children.
Renzeng was a Tibetan militiaman in his youth and still remembers the troops. In the children's memories, the father loved the troops very much and told them the story of the people's army's liberation of Tibet over and over again. RenZeng said: "Soldiers are the bravest and loveliest people, without them there would be no stable life for us now." ”
Under the guidance of the family, the seed of "becoming a soldier" has long taken root in the heart of Dawa Droga. In 2013, when he heard that the comrade in charge of conscription had come to the village to preach the policy, Dawa Zhuoga, who was studying secondary school in the county, immediately took leave and ran home, holding his father's hand, and could not wait to sign up for the army: "I also want to defend my family and defend the country!" ”
In September of the same year, 19-year-old Dawa Drogga put on a bright red flower. She straightened out the lace and couldn't sleep all night with pleasure – she was really going to be a soldier!
"To be a soldier is to be the best soldier." Renzen patted his little daughter with his calloused hand and sent her to the platform. Turning around, this Tibetan man who was more than half a hundred years old smiled and smiled and his eyes were red, and there was reluctance and intolerance in his joy.
"Be the best soldier." His father's encouragement became Dawa Droga's strongest belief.
Being a soldier is not easy, and Dawa Droga encountered difficulties as soon as he joined the army. Before joining the army, the textbooks she studied were all in Tibetan, and she communicated with her classmates and families in Tibetan. As soon as her comrades-in-arms spoke Mandarin quickly, she couldn't keep up.
This has the greatest impact on skill learning. When the instructor spoke faster, she couldn't understand it at all, and the notes were even more miserable: the first line was written in one word, and then the second word was written at a large interval, and there were only a dozen words on a page.
The little girl was helpless, confused, and even a little shaken: "I can't understand the words, what kind of soldier is this?" Why don't you go back. ”
"No!" As if someone was shouting in his heart, Dawa Droga remembered the story of the Red Army climbing snowy mountains and crossing meadows told by his father and them, "When you are a soldier, you must not be afraid of difficulties."
Dawa Droga recalled that the three-month company of recruits was her assault, and the primary goal was to break through the language barrier.
The comrades-in-arms found that after late at night, Dawa Zhuoga was sitting alone in a folding chair, writing in the light of the corridor, writing one by one on the posters, and still reading pinyin in his mouth... The squadron cadres admired this Tibetan girl with tenacity in her bones. The captain took the Xinhua dictionary and taught her from pinyin, took her to watch the news and listen to the radio, learned the pronunciation of the host, and tried his best to shape the language environment for her.

By the end of the recruit company, Dawa Droga was able to communicate normally with his comrades in Mandarin. Dawa Droga confessed that what has always supported her is the belief of "being the best soldier". Not only in the recruit company, but later, when she faced the extreme exhaustion of practicing sniping and the physical limit of Devil's Week, the fire in her heart was never extinguished.
Endeavor
The recruit company is not yet finished, and a notice has brought Dawa Droga one step closer to becoming the "best soldier".
That year, the Tibet General Brigade planned to form a women's SWAT team. On the day of the notice to the squadron, Dawa Droga and his comrades exploded, which was not exactly their dream before enlistment? Everyone submitted their applications.
Dawa Zhuoga has very good physical performance, is a good seedling in the heart of the leader, and naturally entered the SWAT team.

The SWAT team speaks according to the results of training, and the key subject is shooting. The team has daily shooting training, and every week it is necessary to carry out live-fire target shooting. In order to improve the stability of the action, according to the gun, each person's forearm should hang three to five pounds of heavy objects. In less than half a day, everyone's arms were already sore and stiff.
When he first joined the SWAT team, Dawa Droga's shooting performance was extremely poor, practicing for two months, at most 5 bullets at a time on the target twice, and often failed to hit the target. In a live-fire test 3 months after joining the team, Dawa Zhuoga once again played the penultimate first - 0 ring. The always gentle instructor finally lost patience and yelled at her, "The bull's head can't hit a single shot, I really don't know what you're here for!" ”
In front of his comrades-in-arms, Dawa Droga was shy and anxious, his face was flushed, but he held back his tears.
More blows are yet to come. The women's SWAT team has just been established, and all levels attach great importance to it, and all kinds of teaching and competitions have followed, and each team must select members to participate. Dawa Droga was as eager to be chosen as his comrades-in-arms. But because of his poor grades, he never played once.
The little girl was not willing, and desperately gave herself extra training every day: after the lights went out, she played a flashlight in the corridor to nibble on the theory of shooting; others carried a gun in a group of 3 minutes, she practiced for 10 minutes; others hung a kettle on their forearms to practice stability, and she hung two...
Contrary to expectations, seeing that the two years of conscription were about to pass, Dawa Zhuoga's shooting level was still very bad, and he had never been on the field. If she continues like this, she may not even pass the assessment of staying in the team.
After losing the election again, the stubborn Tibetan girl cried. Tears and sweat mixed together, sliding down her cheeks, and there seemed to be a voice in her heart shouting: Admit it, you have no talent at all, and you will not be a good shooter in your life.
"Stick to it." Despite his frustration, Dawa Droga dried her tears and cheered herself up. Before joining the army, she only had a secondary school education, and her education level was not high, but she recognized the principle of death, and chanted "persistence is victory" every day, as pious as the old man reciting the six-character proverb.
Under the guidance of the instructor, Dawa Droga began to write about shooting experiences. How many rings were played each time, what posture was used, and what deviations were made, she wrote them down in the notebook and kept groping forward like an experiment.
Slowly, Dawa Droga was able to pass. Although unstable, but barely passed the assessment of the team, coupled with excellent physical performance, combined, Dawa Zhuoga rubbed the edge, and the team was successful.
spallation
This is a routine live-fire test, and more than half a year has passed since the success of the Dawa Drogga team. In the eyes of his comrades-in-arms, Dawa Zhuoga has been doing "useless work", practicing hard every day, but the results have not been on the table.
Dawa Droga came on the field with a gun as usual. Before going on the field, she joked with the ordnance man that she didn't have to give me 5 rounds, give me 2 rounds, anyway, I can only hit this point, don't waste bullets.
Dawa Droga pressed the bullet into the pistol magazine and aimed and fired as usual. "Bang! bang! bang! After a burst of gunfire, the target announcer began to report the target. When she reported her target, the target reporter snorted, and Dawa Zhuoga giggled in her heart, so as not to hit the "bald head".
Wondering, she heard the crisp voice of the target announcer: "Shoot 5 rounds, shoot 5 rounds, 2 ten 2 nine 1 seven, a total of 45 rings, excellent!" For a moment, she couldn't believe her ears.
Hit the rifle, also 5 rounds on, a total of 40 rings. This was the first time since she joined the SWAT team that she had targeted more than 3 shots, and the results suddenly got rid of the bottom line. Some comrades joked with her and suggested that she buy a lottery ticket, maybe she could win the jackpot.
Targets were shot again the next morning. Dawa Droga was also 5 rounds of 43 rings. Everyone began to pay attention to this comrade-in-arms labeled "failed" and said that she had learned the trick.
In fact, this is not a "trick", but Dawa Zhuoga in the constant groping, found the accurate fit of the gun, aiming and firing. Seeing her tremendous progress, the instructors were overjoyed and sighed that these two achievements were not accidental, but a leap from quantitative change to qualitative change.
Dawa Droga cried again. The tears this time are sweet, and the sweetness of struggle washes away away 3 years of grievances and loneliness. She has worked harder and is more convinced that if she gives, she will reap the rewards.
In this way, Dawa Droga became a sharpshooter among his comrades-in-arms. Before she couldn't hit the egg, the ping-pong ball that couldn't hit, the frisbee that couldn't be hit, she could now hit it, one shot at a time, and the bullet was not false. Dawa Droga began to be a deputy squad leader, a squad leader, a shooting instructor...

In 2018, the unit formed a women's special operations brigade. From "special police" to "special operations", from the squadron to the brigade, the structure of the unit is larger and the requirements are higher. The newly formed women's special operations brigade was in desperate need of excellent snipers, and the unit decided to send Dawa Droga to participate in training.
This is a sniper training organized throughout the armed police force, and the training team is full of masters, including Guo Zirui, a female gun king who appeared in CCTV's "Challenge the Impossible".
Unsurprisingly, during the thorough examination organized by the training team, Dawa Zhuoga hit a 0 ring - this was the first time she had fired a sniper rifle.
Is this also called a sniper? The crowd whispered. However, Dawa Zhuoga had already practiced "thick skin and flesh", and was no longer the little girl who could not withstand the blow. Once again, she took out her housekeeping skills — hard work.
The technique of sniping is a delicate task, and it must be practiced hard and skillfully. As long as she was awake, she pondered the theory of shooting, and if she didn't understand, she pestered the instructor to ask. Instructor Meng, who was in charge of sniper shooting training, was very concerned about this little girl from the snowy plateau, and went out of his way to teach her gun holding posture and teach her sniper theory. When the theory was almost mastered, Dawa Zhuoga heard that Guo Zirui was also in the training team, so he asked Guo Zirui for advice every day.
In order to strengthen the stability of the gun, Dawa Droga tried his best. She placed shell casings on the scope and stipulated that every time the shells fell, they would be added one minute; when the gun was fired, the comrades would step on the shoulders, and after a few days the shoulders would become red and swollen...

Relying on this effort, at the end of the training, she and her partner Wang Sijing won the second place in the women's sniper group final examination on behalf of the headquarters team, and the first place was the famous national anti-terrorism force - the Falcon Commando.
After returning from the training camp, the high-spirited sniper who had participated in the training with her was naturally returned to her. This year, Dawa Droga completed his metamorphosis and became a real sniper.
glory
After the end of the sniper training in 2018, Dawa Zhuoga has become a well-known celebrity in the unit. In October of the same year, the detachment held a National Day competition, male and female soldiers competed on the same stage, and Dawa Zhuoga won the first place in sniper precision shooting. Several male players challenged her, Dawa Drogga did not hesitate, and in the next few rounds, she won the first place in a row, and the exquisite technique made the male soldiers give a thumbs up.
Since the beginning of 2018, this Tibetan girl who has been working in the army for 5 years has ushered in a highlight moment in her life.
At the end of 2018, Dawa Zhuoga participated in the special combat training pacesetter assessment of the headquarters as the only female special combatant, got a good score of full marks in the whole subject, and was rated as an excellent student. From "backward" to "superior", comrades-in-arms said that Dawa Droga had become their idol.
The eagle strikes the long sky, unstoppable, and Dawa Zhuoga is more and more courageous in the battle. She added a circle in the center of the target paper that was the same diameter as the sniper shell, and asked herself to be in the center of the bullet when shooting; in order to practice a calm state of mind, every morning when she washed, she immersed her face in cold water for breath-holding training; in order to improve her endurance, she lay on the ground for a morning, often because of stiffness and numbness, she could not turn over, grinding two elbows were blood...
In 2019, due to his excellent skills, Dawa Zhuoga was selected by the Armed Police Force as one of the "Top Ten Pacesetter Non-Commissioned Officers of the Armed Police Force" and was awarded the second class of personal merit. A year later, as an extreme warrior with fine martial strength and strength, she participated in the award ceremony of the theme of "Salute to Loyalty" of the Armed Police Force, and was named the 23rd "Top Ten Loyal Guards of the Chinese Armed Police", becoming a model for officers and men of the Armed Police Force to learn from.
In September 2020, Dawa Zhuoga, as an excellent soldier, was escorted to the Armed Police Officers College to study. Former secondary school students stepped into the university campus, and the red police rank on their shoulders was replaced by a green "bar". It is here that she will complete her transition from a special operations elite to a junior command officer.

At the new student literary and artistic evening at the beginning of enrollment, Dawa Zhuoga made a stunning appearance as the host. Fluent crosswords, confident eyes, and atmospheric typhoons conquered the audience. People who have heard of her have never thought that this "female gun god" who has been crawling in the soil for many years, the "Gazi brother" who always has a cold face on the training ground, and this side. They couldn't imagine that when the host on the stage enlisted in the army, the Chinese language was almost zero-
After the party, Dawa Droga smiled and closed her mouth: "Efforts will not be in vain, the road traveled, every step counts." ”
Dawa Droga rarely took the initiative to mention the story of his meritorious service to his comrades-in-arms. She feels that the honors of the past do not represent the future, and the study of culture classes in universities is another difficulty that needs to be overcome. When talking about how to be a good commander in the future, she did not talk at length, but said: "Do your best to overcome all difficulties." ”

By the time she graduates next year, she will take on heavier responsibilities as a second lieutenant platoon leader. This was a new starting point for the struggle, and she had made a new determination to be the best commander.
Looking back at his 8 years of military youth, Dawa Zhuoga, who is about to reach the age of establishment, is as vigorous as when he was 19 years old. She said: "Youth is not only a period of time, but also a fiery belief, a posture of indomitable progress, and my attitude towards life." (Contributor: Zhu Chengeng)
