"I keep this note in my wallet, always reminding myself that being a good squad leader is not only to pour out true love in ordinary times, but also to be willing to give at critical moments. This is a scene where Lan Xiaojun, the squad leader of a certain unit of the Tai'an Detachment of the Armed Police, shared his story of leading soldiers at the report meeting on the deeds of respecting cadres and loving soldiers organized by the unit.
In March 2023, Lan Xiaojun spoke as a representative of the detachment's respected cadres and loving soldiers
In April 2018, a mountain fire broke out at the junction of Tai'an, Jinan, Shandong, Lan Xiaojun and 8 comrades-in-arms were ordered to participate in the rescue and rescue.
Lan Xiaojun did not hesitate to take off his mask and forcibly helped him put it on. However, due to the inhalation of a large amount of smoke and dust, his respiratory tract became inflamed, and he coughed for several days after returning and could not speak.
In April 2018, officers and soldiers took on the task of handing over the fire fighting task in Jitai
Later, there was the origin of this "small note". Xiao Zhang, who was preparing to retire from the army, was moved by Lan Xiaojun's behavior, bought a bottle of honey for him, and wrote a note by hand: "Squad leader, this bottle of honey is for you to moisten your lungs, please accept it." Thank you! No matter where I go in the future, I will be your soldier!" A few short and simple words, but they represent the soldiers' full trust and affirmation of the squad leader.
Speaking of leading soldiers and loving soldiers, Lan Xiaojun, an "old squad leader" who has been in the army for 12 years but has 8 years of experience in leading soldiers, is just the tip of the iceberg in his many glorious deeds.
"My childhood dream was to be a soldier, and I was determined to be a good soldier after becoming a soldier, and the position of squad leader was the goal I have been striving for. I want to be not only a class leader, but also a good class leader. ”
This She warrior from northern Fujian, with a pair of thick eyebrows and sharp eyes on his dark face, spoke with a unique southern accent. From an ordinary soldier with mediocre quality to a comprehensive and excellent management backbone, he struggled to move forward with the unique tenacity and courage of the She people, and also infected and warmed the hearts of the soldiers with the simplicity and kindness of the She people.
As a squad leader, we must always put the growth and progress of soldiers in the first place, be a "light" and "a ladder" on the road to the growth of soldiers, and not only be responsible for their today, but also think about their tomorrow.
Senior Private Dai Chen, a college freshman, has a more introverted personality, is not good at communication, most of the problems are self-digestion, and there is also the desire to take the examination to improve the work, often feel full of pressure, and the work motivation is not high.
In this regard, Lan Xiaojun usually communicated with him more, talked about his family situation, and talked about his enlistment experience, and guided Xiaodai to open the "chatterbox" little by little, especially when talking about his experience before enlisting and interesting stories in school, Xiaodai's eyes showed a glimmer of light.
In August 2023, Lan Xiaojun and the soldiers in the squad filmed a retirement video
In fact, Xiaodai also wants to communicate with others, and also wants to talk about his pressure and difficulties encountered, but sometimes he feels embarrassed and can't open his mouth. It happened that the squadron organized a reading and sharing activity, and Lan Xiaojun took the initiative to register for him. Xiao Dai was resistant and shy at first, but with the support of Lan Xiaojun, Xiao Dai carefully prepared, spoke in a clear manner, and the reading and sharing was a complete success, and his comrades-in-arms applauded him one after another.
Gradually, Xiaodai has changed a lot, his work is getting more and more energetic, and he is getting better and better integrated into the "big family" of the squadron, and he is also in the merit evaluation and award that year, because of his outstanding work performance, he won the "Four Haves" outstanding soldier, and in 2022, Xiaodai was admitted to the military academy as he wished.
At the farewell party, Xiao Dai hugged Lan Xiaojun for a long time and said, "Squad leader, thank you......"
In July 2021, Lan Xiaojun was rated as the third "Strong Army Model" of the detachment
Since joining the army, Lan Xiaojun has relied on quality and actual performance, and has won the unanimous recognition of leaders and comrades-in-arms during his tenure as squad leader, and has been awarded 1 personal third-class merit, 7 awards, 6 times as an "excellent soldier", and in July 2021, he was rated as the third "strong army pacesetter" by the detachment.
As a squad leader, only by bringing every soldier in the class into a soldier who stands alone, helping and teaching hand-in-hand, and helping with a heart-to-heart, can he truly love soldiers.
A single branch is not spring, a hundred flowers bloom in spring. Soldier Xiao Liu, when he first arrived in Lan Xiaojun's class, he was still a "backward student" with a fat body and military quality hovering on the verge of passing, in order to help him improve his military quality as soon as possible, Lan Xiaojun began to focus on urging him to exercise.
In May 2019, Lan Xiaojun participated in the detachment military games
In a training evaluation organized by the squadron, he saw the results of several old squad leaders far ahead, and his heart was a little touched, he found Lan Xiaojun and said: "Squad leader, I want to change to a sergeant, and I also want to be a squad leader like you!" Lan Xiaojun felt very relieved in his heart, but he knew very well that it was much more difficult to be a good squad leader than to be a good soldier, and he had to go further to guide and help him.
In May 2021, Lan Xiaojun participated in the detachment military games and won the ranking
Tailor-made training plans, talk about the experience and skills of leading troops, and teach the best tips for group training...... Xiao Liu made little progress with the help, and with his efforts, his military quality was improved from the initial passing grade to good, and he was also transferred to a sergeant as he wished.
Although Xiao Liu was later adjusted to other units due to work reasons, he became the deputy squad leader as he wished, and is striding towards the goal of the squad leader.
"When the squad leader leads by example, what he asks the soldiers to do, he will do it first; he is like a flag around us, he strives for perfection in everything he does, and the standard is very high......," Li Hao, the deputy squad leader, commented on Lan Xiaojun.
On the training ground under the blazing sun, Lan Xiaojun was leading the soldiers in the squad to conduct a 400-meter obstacle course.
Lan Xiaojun is about to complete 12 years of service, and he has to embark on the journey back home due to family reasons. In this limited time, he became more and more eager to leave his dedication and enthusiasm for the word "squad leader" in this camp where he had squandered his youthful blood.
From senior soldier to sergeant, Li Hao has been in Lan Xiaojun's class, as the oldest veteran in the class except for the squad leader, Li Hao knows Lan Xiaojun's hard work, more than ten years, he has long regarded this hot land as a "home", and has long regarded the position of squad leader as a career he loves.
Under the influence of Lan Xiaojun, Li Hao became more and more responsible, and emerged in various tasks, not only ranking among the best in the squadron in terms of military quality, but also undertaking the arduous task of standardizing and unifying the internal affairs standards of the squadron in a more meticulous manner.
In August 2022, Lan Xiaojun and Li Hao were tasked with inspecting the military appearance and discipline of the detachment
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, the four seasons change, Lan Xiaojun uses his constant enthusiasm, responsibility, calmness and calmness to interpret the true meaning of being a good squad leader.
Because of the burning mind, so do your best, because of the dream, so strive to move forward, because of love, so try to inherit.
It is said that the squad leader is the person who manages the most strictly and loves the most, and it is said that the squad leader is the person who trains the most ruthlessly and protects the most. The squad leader is not a single person, but a group of people who use their youth, wisdom and sweat to pave the way for the soldiers to grow.
