Climb over high walls, crawl low, cross multiple obstacles, and then launch accurate shots at the "enemy"... Recently, a brigade of the Army's 72nd Group Army organized a demonstration of a 400-meter obstacle course, and a young non-commissioned officer won the applause of the officers and men present with his standardized movements and healthy posture. He is Wang Liang, the eighth national model candidate for morality and the national model candidate for the military system.
"At a critical juncture, the soldiers should come forward; at the critical moment, the soldiers should rush to the forefront." Speaking of Wang Liang, the brigade knows everyone and knows that he is not only a pacesetter in fine martial arts, but also a hero in saving people. In the middle of summer last year, when Wang Liang, who was returning home to visit his relatives, was passing through the bridgehead section of Yuangang Village in Fuliang County, Jiangxi Province, he saw a small car colliding head-on with a large truck, rolling over and falling into the river.
At the critical moment, Wang Liang jumped down from the nearly 5-meter-high embankment and entered the rapids three times to save people. The first time he entered the water, he struggled to open the heavy rear door, picked up a child in his left hand, and then pulled out two adults and stepped on the water to dock. The second time he entered the water, he broke the window into the car, backhanded out the unconscious front passenger, backstroke back to the shore, and performed CPR. When the passenger regained consciousness, he plunged into the rapids for the third time, smashing the window with all his might, pulling the driver ashore from the car and giving him first aid...
After Wang Liang's deeds of saving people were reported by the media, they aroused strong repercussions in society; he was personally credited with first-class merit by the Army's 72nd Group Army, commended by the Army as a pacesetter in the third "four haves" revolutionary soldier in the new era, commended by the Central Civilization Office as a "good man of China", awarded the "Zhejiang May Fourth Youth Medal" by the Zhejiang Provincial Committee of the Communist Youth League, and awarded the honorary title of "The Province Sees Righteousness and Courage as an Advanced Element" by the Jiangxi Provincial Political and Legal Committee. In July this year, Wang Liang was commended by the Central Military Commission as an outstanding communist party member of the whole army, and was invited to Beijing's Tiananmen Square to participate in the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China.
Raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, Wang Liang's feats are inseparable from his hard training day after day. Since joining the army in September 2016, Wang Liang has studied hard and worked hard to improve his military quality, especially in recent years, the adjustment and reform of the troops, and the transformation of his brigade from traditional infantry to light composite elite soldiers has stimulated his fighting spirit. If his physical fitness is not good, he insists on doing push-ups, squats, and sit-ups every day; if he can't swim, he will practice in the water for several hours, practicing kicking and pinching his legs and even practicing until his ankles are red and swollen, and he has trained himself from a "dry duck" to a "wave pioneer". The thick calluses on his hands, the many scars on his body, and the worn-out combat boots have witnessed Wang Liang's growth and are also his confidence in saving people.
"Honor only represents the past, and now it starts from scratch." Under the aura of "first-class hero", Wang Liang has a clear understanding of himself. The first thing he did when he returned to the company was to dress up and walk to the training ground. "The new equipment has been installed, and I can't leave the line!" Everyone found that Wang Liang was still that Wang Liang, and he was always thinking about the war in his mind, "The current equipment has a high scientific and technological content and a high degree of informatization, and if you don't study today, you will be left behind tomorrow." ”
Fading the aura of a hero, Wang Liang drilled into the new type of assault vehicle, and his face and hands were often stained with dark engine oil. Vehicle-mounted radios, new weapons platforms... Wang Liang "nibbled" the instruction manuals and teaching materials. Once in the middle of the night, the guard called the post, and the instructor found that Wang Liang was still studying the topic and taking notes. Kung Fu pays off, and at the demonstration meeting of the new equipment application observation, Wang Liang's report was unanimously approved by the leaders. Nowadays, Wang Liang has mastered a variety of battlefield skills such as sea boating, three-dimensional airborne landing, and mobile cross-country, as well as teaching and training methods for more than 20 subjects, and has become a "regular customer" of demonstration training. Wang Liang has also become a spiritual example for the officers and men of the brigade, and "learning from Wang Liang" has become a common practice among the officers and men.
Wang Liang was born in the old revolutionary area of Jiangxi, where his hometown was the former site of the headquarters of the Anti-Japanese Advance Detachment of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army going north. Having already integrated the red gene into his bloodline, he always thinks about what to do for this red land. After being awarded the first class of meritorious service, Wang Liang donated a prize of 10,000 yuan to the Charity Federation in his hometown to support the charity cause in his hometown. As a member of the "Golden Years" propaganda team of the unit, he also told the children the story of the Red Army in the garrison and hometown, and shared with them his struggle in the barracks. His deeds have inspired and inspired many people, and many students who listened to his story said that they would also become soldiers in the future and become a good soldier like him.
"Three in and three out of the rescue, your shoulders carry hope..." Today, there is a "Hero Song" circulating in the brigade, telling the story of Wang Liang. In this regard, Wang Liang said: "We are practicing strong skills in the army in order to protect the safety of the people, and I just did what should be done. "You can see it in ordinary times, stand up at critical moments, and open up at critical moments, Wang Liang, good looking!"
