Dada-da-da- The loud stormtrooper was once the main theme of a generation. According to the regulations, from October 1, the whole army will once again sound a loud military trumpet. What the military trumpet symbolizes and why it needs to be restored, Huanhuan (ID: huanqiu-com) finds an old commander to talk about the practical significance of the military trumpet for a strong army.
Reinstate the division number system
On September 11, the Training Management Department of the Central Military Commission issued a message saying that the restoration and improvement of the division number system of our army has been carried out in an all-round way, and it is planned to organize and implement it in two steps: from October 1, 2018, the whole army will resume broadcasting work and rest numbers according to the current regulations; from August 1, 2019, the whole army will implement a new department number system.
The People's Liberation Army established a system of division numbers in its inception. In 1927, the National Revolutionary Army that participated in the August 1st Nanchang Uprising was organized with a division number detachment and a division number soldier. After the establishment of the 4th Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, it was assigned a division number squad and a division number officer in the adjutant's office of the military department, and a division number commander, a number head, a number item, and a division number officer in the regiment, battalion, and company. After the founding of New China, our army formed a perfect system of military divisions. The whole army has set up division number personnel in the company organization, the battalion has set up division number squads, and the regiment has set up division number platoons. Since the 1980s, with the evolution of the form of war and the development of our military's modernization construction, the command and communication function of military trumpets has gradually weakened, the scope of application and use has gradually shrunk, and some military barracks have even no longer used military trumpets.
Chen Zero, a member of the research group on the new division number system and an assistant researcher at the Military Legal Research Institute of the Academy of Military Sciences, said in an interview with the media: "This restoration and improvement of our military's division number system will play an important role in strengthening the awareness of the command, inheriting the red gene, promoting the regularization construction, and boosting the morale of the military." ”
Take part in battle with your military trumpet
In film and television works, when the charge trumpet is sounded, the soldiers will "hear the trumpet" and kill the enemy position. What kind of soldiers are the trumpeters, and how do they see the "unique weapons" in their hands? Huanhuan (ID: huanqiu-com) contacted a former veteran trumpeter about the life of a trumpeter in his own experience.
In November 1980, 18-year-old Zhang Fuqing enlisted in the army after graduating from high school and came from his hometown of Henan to serve in a unit of the former Kunming Military Region in the southwest frontier. After three months of recruit training, Zhang Fuqing became a trumpeter. In fact, "At that time, the getting up number, the opening meal number, the exercise number, and the lights out number in the regiment were all recordings of unified playback, and there were not many opportunities to use the trumpeter to blow the trumpet on the spot, but this did not hinder our enthusiasm for practicing the trumpet." Whether you can use it or not, you must concentrate on practicing and master all the trumpets. ”
In the trumpet spectrum provided by Zhang Fuqing to huanhuan, there are "entering the tunnel", "reinforcements have been sent to you", "ammunition has been sent", "reinforcements have been requested" and other categories of trumpets, which can be called a kind of public sound intelligence. Zhang Fuqing introduced that at that time, there were 90 kinds of number scores. "We first have to memorize the 90 trumpets skillfully, and then we start practicing vocalization." The military trumpet is divided into 5 lines, which are from low to high - tower - hit - single - ground - li, Zhang Fuqing worked overtime to practice, and his mouth was worn out and did not stop. There is no special skill to achieve 90 kinds of trumpets and scores, it is to practice over and over again, and practice makes perfect.
In the photo displayed by Zhang Fuqing, the soldiers of the training class stand in a row, holding military trumpets in one hand and practicing. After six months of training day after day, everyone has to take an exam to test the mastery of all the numbers. "The score at the time of the examination is a spot check, and everyone draws what to play. We successfully passed the exam. At the military parade held in the August 1st Founding Festival regiment in 1981 after the training, we played a military parade welcome song for everyone, which was very successful. ”

In November 1982, Zhang Fuqing was transferred to the Third Battalion Department as a division commander and communications squad leader, and spent more time dealing with military trumpets. In addition to the unified playback of recordings, the company needs to urgently assemble, military exercises in the battalion, regiment, and so on, which require the trumpeters to play on the spot.
The time progressed to 1984, as a division soldier, Zhang Fuqing participated in the Lao Shan campaign against Vietnam. Before the war, the trumpeters repeatedly practiced the use of trumpet blowing for communication, focusing on spotting the enemy, encountering the enemy, occupying positions, enemy retreat, air defense, chemical defense, anti-bacteria, requesting reinforcements, requiring ammunition, asking for stretchers, and so on.
"I was fully prepared. That is, if both wired and wireless communications are severely damaged on the battlefield and communications cannot be guaranteed, division number communications will be carried out between division number personnel, division number squad leaders, and division chiefs. We were mainly responsible for uploading and dispatching, sometimes to convey the combat intentions of the regimental commander to the subordinates, and sometimes to convey information and intelligence to the battalion and regimental commanders in the company. We have dozens of division numbers that can transmit different operational information, so as to achieve the purpose of communication and successfully complete combat tasks. "These messages include air defense, anti-germ, asking for reinforcements, asking for ammunition, and so on. Zhang Fuqing told Huanhuan (ID: huanqiu-com) that during the three months of participating in the Laoshan operation, in addition to the submachine gun, flare gun, grenade, and kettle he carried with him, that was the military trumpet.
Zhang Fuqing introduced: The development of our army's wired communications and radio technology in those years has basically met the needs of war. In the Lao Shan operation, our army's wired telephone lines were often blown up by Vietnamese artillery shells, and radios were often interfered with, but soon our army's communication support personnel would recover and successfully complete the communication support task.
The military trumpet is also a weapon
In January 1985, Zhang Fuqing was honorably discharged from the army, that is, in this year, the division number of the regiment, battalion, and company was abolished. "After 4 years as a soldier, I have formed a deep revolutionary friendship with the military trumpet, and to this day, I still retain a eliminated military trumpet." Zhang Fuqing is very nostalgic for this period of time, "Whenever I hear the familiar sound of military trumpets in some film and television works, I will think of my military career, remember the battlefield full of artillery fire more than 30 years ago, one battle scene after another, one battle picture after another, as if it happened yesterday, still vividly remembered." ”
"I am very excited to hear that the army will restore the division number system from October 1." Talking about the significance of restoring the system of division numbers, Zhang Fuqing believes that "military trumpets are also a weapon."
Now, 38 years later, he can still clearly recall the first lesson of participating in the regimental commander's training. "At that time, Yin Siwei, the commander of our regimental commandery, gave a military trumpet history education class to the 20 regimental commanders. He told us that military trumpets are also a weapon. In particular, it played an extremely important role in the Operations of the Red Army, the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the War of Liberation, and the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea; our army's charge trumpet boosted morale, enhanced the soldiers' determination and confidence in defeating the enemy and destroying the enemy, and made the enemy feel frightened when he heard the sound of our army's military trumpet, thus playing a deterrent role in winning without a war. ”
This spirit of boiling blood has also been rooted in Zhang Fuqing's heart, he said to Huanhuan (ID: huanqiu-com), if the motherland needs, I will be called to come without hesitation, come to be able to fight, invincible, vow to defend the motherland to the death, willing to sprinkle blood on the battlefield, to ensure that the motherland is getting stronger and stronger, prosperous and prosperous.
As a precious asset of the people's army, it is of practical significance that the military trumpet can be inherited and carried forward in the tradition of the Great Revolution. Chen Zero said that the division number system has a unique role in ordering regular troops and creating an atmosphere for preparing for war. At the same time, the sound of military trumpets is an important carrier to enhance the national defense awareness of the whole people, and in a sense, it can also bring a sense of security. The restoration of the division number system can enhance the people's awareness of national defense and play a positive role in the national defense education of the whole people at present. He said, "A part of the historical genealogy that has inspired generations of revolutionary soldiers will be passed down as a valuable wealth of the people's army and will be preserved." ”
