A body of courage "under the head water"
■ Wang Jianan Shen Hui
"A car crashed into the Pearl River, ask for your support." Not long ago, after receiving a call for help from the public security stationed in the southern theater, a certain anti-rescue squadron of the Navy in the southern theater sent people to rush to the rescue.
In the river basin of the incident, the hydrological conditions are complex, the surging waves and undercurrents are staggered, and the car that fell into the river may still be flipping underwater, and the rescue task is very difficult. In the face of an unfamiliar underwater environment and unknown dangerous challenges, the first launch operation undoubtedly requires the most courage.
"I'll go first!" Before waiting for the on-site commander to point out, Wang Zhikai stepped forward, changed into a diving suit, put on a waterproof mask, put on an oxygen bottle and pressed lead on his back, and "pounced" into the river under the traction of the signal rope.
"When encountering a strange and complex underwater environment, we usually hand over the burden of 'head water' to the backbone with the strongest psychological quality." Speaking of Wang Zhikai, the leader of the squadron praised this courageous diver, because every time he launched a mission, he rushed to the front, and was called the bold "vanguard" by his comrades-in-arms.
But this "vanguard" was not like this at first. The first time he put on his equipment, he sank to the bottom of the pitch-black water, listening to the bubbles of "grunting, grunting" in his ears, he was so nervous that he did not listen to the call. Watching the comrades-in-arms of the same batch begin to challenge the difficult subjects, and still whirling around in the same place, Wang Zhikai, who did not accept defeat, warned himself in his heart: "We must overcome psychological obstacles." ”
From "guts trembling" in the water to being ready to "go down to the water" at any time, Wang Zhikai's growth path is not easy. In training, he competes for everything and is strict with himself everywhere. Underwater cutting course, because of lack of strength and lack of skill, a steel pipe sawed for a long time without sawing, making him eager to take his teeth to bite. During that time, he soaked in water morning and evening, and underwater air holding, ventilation and swimming were basic training. At the end of the day, my arms hurt so much that I couldn't lift them, my hands were so red and swollen that I couldn't even hold the bowl when I ate.
Thanks to solid training, Wang Zhikai practiced more and more confidently, and the more he practiced, the more courageous he became. That year, the squadron was ordered to support the local rescue of the remains of those who had fallen into the water, and many officers and men were afraid in their hearts. At the critical moment, Wang Zhikai was the first to stand up and successfully completed the task with his superb diving skills and excellent psychological quality.
Soon, Wang Zhikai grew into the backbone of the squadron's diving profession, and his comrades summed up the secret of his success by saying: "A 'dare' word is vividly reflected in him." He himself said: "In the line of dry diving, without a brave heart, it will be difficult to walk." ”
In a word, the award speech: Hard training and fine martial arts to strengthen the courage, to prepare for war to have full confidence.
