Young officers and soldiers in the new era have lofty ambitions, are down-to-earth, and make unremitting efforts to realize the Chinese dream of a strong army. Let us get close to the young officers and soldiers to see how they can let go of their youthful dreams in the practice of strengthening the army and refine their colorful lives in the fiery barracks.

Pursue dreams and cultivate new warriors of "flying sharks"
Reporter Liu Botong
In the waters of the Bohai Sea, the clouds are rolling in waves.
One after another J-15 carrier-based fighters with the reputation of "flying sharks" roared from far and near to the Liaoning warship, lowering the tail hook, centering, descending, and hanging rope. Suddenly, the blocking rope became a "v" symbolizing victory, and another group of students successfully joined the "Tail Hook Club".
"We see them fly well, and we're happier than we fly ourselves." In the command room of the Liaoning Tower, the young flight instructor Wang Yan and his comrades could not hide their excitement.
These flight instructors, with an average age of 30 years old, are the "knife-tip dancers" who constantly challenge the unknown territory, and they are also the "sea and air pioneers" who cultivate "flying shark" warriors and take on the heavy responsibility of transforming naval aviation.
No matter how deep and wide this 'river' is, we must resolutely step through it!" The leader of the base said with emotion.
Zhang Yuliang was one of the first batch of carrier-based fighter pilots directly trained by the Navy from among the flight cadets recruited from high schools. At the end of last year, Zhang Yuliang and the same batch of comrades-in-arms successfully obtained aircraft carrier qualification certification. Behind this, he and the flight instructors made great efforts.
"One lap down, the whole person is blinded." Zhang Yuliang's first experience of flying was not good. Under the guidance of the flight instructors, he silently drew cockpit drawings, recited the action essentials, and summarized the flight experience... During that time, Zhang Yuliang almost "tied" himself to the aircraft simulator.
During a two-plane flight training, Zhang Yuliang suddenly encountered a single-shot landing and dangerous situation. Although he flew the J-15 only a few dozen sorties, he calmly reported and calmly responded, and after more than a hundred zero-error operations, he successfully disposed of this special situation.
Flight instructor Xu Xuan wrote this special situation disposal process into the flight summary on the same day, "This special situation is of great significance to the training of growth class students. "Flight instructors have a habit of taking notes and will record the details and feelings of daily flight training. In three years, they accumulated tens of millions of words of literature.
After obtaining the aircraft carrier qualification certification, Zhang Yuliang officially applied to the organization to become a flight instructor to pass on this career.
The latest power must have the strongest ability. During one training, trainee Liu Chao flew a fighter plane just after taking off to conduct course training on the route. Suddenly, the fog on the sea rolled and the fog quickly pressed over the airport runway.
"Transfer to a complex meteorological training course!" Geng Weiqian, flight instructor and commander of the tower on the same day, immediately decided to change the training course, "There will be no rehearsal in actual combat, the sea conditions and hydrological conditions in the open sea are more complicated, and the trainees must learn to deal with unexpected situations." ”
Embarking on the journey of strengthening the army and aiming at the future battlefield, this group of young flight instructors is not afraid of hardships and dangers, and is taking off with groups of flight cadets one after another, heading in the direction of the Chinese Navy's take-off.

The trumpeter is in place and competes to practice his true skills
Reporter Li Longyi of this newspaper
Recently, a missile brigade of the Rocket Force held a professional and technical tournament. On the eve of the competition, thinking that he was going to lead the team for the first time as the new missile launcher commander, platoon leader Yang Yongzeng lost sleep. After tossing and turning, he sat up from his bed and ran to the classroom with a professional notebook to work overtime.
"Why haven't you slept yet, I'm afraid it's better than Xiao Hongwei?" At two o'clock in the middle of the night, company commander Wang Qikaichapu found that Yang Yongzeng had not yet slept. Xiao Hongwei was a soldier of the same year as Yang Yongzeng, and after the two graduated from college in 2015, they joined the Rocket Force with the dream of launching missiles and were assigned to the same battalion. Xiao Hongwei and Yang Yongzeng were very comprehensive in ability and quality, and soon stood out among the same batch of soldiers, they had a good relationship in private, but they both wanted to become the best operators, and the two secretly competed, and they had to compare everything.
In that year, the brigade went deep into the White Mountains and Black Water to participate in the "red-blue confrontation" exercise, the task was rotated continuously, life was very difficult, and the officers and men underwent tremendous tests in body and mind. One night, on the cold northeast land, the squad fought for a long time, and Wang Qikai, who was the commander of the launcher, thought that Yang Yongzeng and Xiao Hongwei would not be able to eat it. Wang Qikai looked at the beauty in his heart: "It is a good seedling!"
The disciplines and basic knowledge involved in the missile profession are complex, and it is difficult for many people to live with oil roads, lines, and circuits alone. During a practical operation training, Yang Yongzeng and Xiao Hongwei caused the launch timeout to time out by 5 seconds due to a mismatch in coordination. Wang Qikai criticized in front of the team trumpeter: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and it may be decided to win or lose in 5 seconds." You can't even launch on time, so what else can you talk about winning the battle? ”
Criticism is criticism, and the careful Wang Qikai saw where their shortcomings were, so he opened a "small stove" for them: with a weak theoretical foundation, he made a study plan every day, worked overtime every night to help them learn to understand a professional knowledge, and the two also learned twice as seriously. Once, while discussing an equipment principle, the two argued until they reached the senior engineer of the brigade's technical room. It was not until the old senior engineer took out the equipment schematic diagram and explained the principle in detail according to the drawings, and the debate was over. Afterwards, the old senior engineer sighed: "Two recruits are so energetic, it is rare." ”
Two years ago, Yang Yongzeng successfully went to the military academy for further study, and Xiao Hongwei also grew into a missile launcher commander. On the day that Yang Yongzeng returned from his studies, Xiao Hongwei issued a "challenge book" as soon as he saw him: "There will be a professional technical ring competition immediately, prepare well, see you on the field!"
In the end, the two met in the final. After fierce competition, Yang Yongzeng won by a slight advantage. After the game, Xiao Hongwei came to congratulate and challenged: "You had better always keep the 'trumpeter in place', otherwise I may surpass you at any time, and we will fight again next time!"

Decisive victory "millimeter", the scope is engraved with youth
A "bang" of a gunshot, the bullet burst out of the chamber, hitting the target! Not long ago, at the foot of Yanshan Mountain, the "Devil Week" extreme training organized by the Armed Police Falcon Commando Team began. In the shooting subject competition, young snipers Ma Tianjia, Ju Feng and Guo Zirui scored full marks.
The sword blade comes out of the grinding, and no success is easy to get. In 2015, when Ma Tianjia and Ju Feng participated in the final of the World Military Police Sniper Championship in Hungary, they were affected by bad weather and played abnormally, only getting the second place in the group. "Our dream is to become a top sniper!" After returning to China, the two deeply studied the training methods and practical combat concepts at home and abroad, only to constantly surpass their opponents and themselves.
During a training session, it was the height of summer, and dark clouds suddenly gathered in the air. "It's going to rain heavily, do you still want to practice?" The two snipers had already formed a natural tacit understanding, and said in unison: "Practice!" On that occasion, the two were soaked by the rain, but they gained a lot. Through continuous practice, the two gradually mastered how to overcome bad weather conditions and accurately hit the target.
Later, in the "Blade - 2018" international sniper shooting competition, the last subject was integrated combat sniping, and the weather conditions were still the biggest variable in the competition. "Distance 624, wind speed 3.6." Ju Feng felt that it was difficult to hit the target under these conditions. Correction to the left, adjustment upwards... Ma Tianjia's mind was racing. Lying down, adjusting, aiming, firing, the two old partners became more and more courageous, and won the first place in the comprehensive combat sniper course with full scores.
Young snipers who like to challenge the "impossible" are not only Ma Tianjia and Ju Feng. Guo Zirui, the captain of the women's special operations second team, was called "sharpshooter" by his comrades-in-arms. In the eyes of many people, she is a lively and active little girl after 95, which is far from the calm and calm of snipers in ordinary people's minds. In order to realize her dream of becoming a sniper and develop excellent shooting skills, she started from the basic skills of the gun, 20 minutes, 40 minutes, 1 hour... He often lay motionless on the ground, his eyes tearful. With the hard work in her bones, she became the youngest female team member in the sniper selection assessment of the detachment.
"They have the courage to accept challenges, dare to overcome difficulties, continue to struggle, 'carve' youth in the scope, and cut through thorns on the road to growth, only to realize the dream of becoming a sniper!" Speaking of the young snipers on the team, Falcon Commando political commissar Ren Koy said proudly.
