"Brother, black smoke is coming out of the power transmission compartment!" At the live-fire range of a battalion of the 77th Group Army, outside the combat room of a certain type of howitzer, artillery technician Yang Longde shouted to the driving technician Li Chengping, only to see Li Chengping quickly get into the narrow power cabin, "It's the oil pipe that burst, brother, hand me a oil pipe." In less than ten minutes, the equipment failure was successfully dealt with, and the brothers walked down the war room side by side, looking at each other and smiling.
Li Chengping, enlisted in the army in 2004, third-class sergeant major, is currently a driving technician of a battalion, and has been awarded three third-class merits, and is recognized by everyone as the "hard-core martial arts leader".
Yang Longde, enlisted in the army in 2005, third-class sergeant major, is currently a shooting technician in a battalion, and has obtained a double technician certificate of repair technician and driving technician, self-taught equipment fire system theory, and is a veritable "all-rounder".
The two are not in the same company, but fate has arranged them to become the closest brothers. More than ten years ago, Li Chengping, who was a driving instructor at the time, said, "Do you want to learn to drive with me?" In the following days, the two worked hard together, and slowly evolved from a master-apprentice relationship to a close comrade-in-arms.
"Who says that different positions can't be compared?" Yang Longde said that in their work, they not only complement each other, but also often compete with each other.
In 2022, the battalion where the two of them were located was ordered to participate in the superior weapon effectiveness test, and in the process of organizing live firing, a new howitzer could not be restored to firing condition, and the two brothers went forward to troubleshoot, "Brother, I'm almost done." "Can you have me fast?" In less than 30 minutes, the gun was successfully eliminated, and after the performance evaluation of the artillery, it fired shells one after another and accurately hit the target.
"Brother, don't you think that the blind spot of our track equipment driver in the process of loading and positioning is too big." At the end of 2023, the troops will be stationed on the plateau for training, and Li Chengping found Yang Longde and Cai Long, who were directing the loading of equipment, and said his thoughts, "Can you make a set of devices, magnetically attract on the equipment, and automatically assist in positioning." Yang Longde and Cai Long's eyes lit up, and the three of them hit it off, and they did what they said.
"How talented you are, the unit will give you a big stage!" When the battalion leaders learned of Li Chengping and Yang Longde's idea, they expressed great support and encouraged them to continue their efforts.
In April this year, the three brothers successfully developed an unmanned command and assistance system for track equipment, and the loading and positioning error was within a very small range. Others persuaded them to apply for a patent quickly, but Li Chengping and Yang Longde said, "Don't worry, our instrument has not yet been innovated, and we want to wait until we can apply for self-assisted driving positioning under dark conditions at night." ”
Not only that, but they also compiled a number of textbooks, Li Chengping compiled the precautions for the use of artillery equipment under plateau and cold conditions, and Yang Yongde perfected the technical inspection specifications for battalion artillery dispatch, and the textbooks compiled by the two were praised by their superiors and popularized and used throughout the brigade.
Nowadays, more and more officers and men have spontaneously joined their research and development queues, setting off an upsurge of innovation and innovation in the whole brigade, and the fighters are also becoming more and more energetic in gathering wisdom to tackle key problems and daring to try and break through.
