Open the bar

Spring Breeze Tuojin Cheng, Huazhang Book Festival. In another 20 days, China will enter the high-profile "two sessions time". 2019 is the 70th anniversary of the founding of New China, a key year for building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way, and a year for decisively winning the battle to achieve the goals and tasks of national defense and army building in 2020. The two sessions of the National People's Congress held at such a key historical node carry more expectations and will draw up a more magnificent blueprint.

The journey is like a rainbow, and dreamers still need to continue to run and work hard. During the two sessions, the military deputies and members will faithfully perform their duties, participate in the administration and discussion of state affairs wholeheartedly, and contribute wisdom to the realization of the Chinese dream of a strong army. Starting from today, this newspaper will launch a column entitled "We Are All Dreamers" to tell the story of the grassroots deputies and members chasing dreams on the road to strengthening the army, and to show the spiritual outlook of dreamers in military camps in the new era.

The stopwatch jumps and the bullets roar. Gunshots, loads, fires... All 6 bullets hit the target in 4 seconds, which is a wonderful scene seen by reporters at the scene of the extreme shooting competition of a brigade of the Southern Theater Army, and the winner was Huang Xin, commander of a special operations company.

"The battlefield is only the first, and you can win faster than your opponent!" In Huang Xin's view, in order to complete special operations tasks under the conditions of informationization, it is necessary to achieve "faster than the opponent."

"Faster" is the muscle memory formed by tens of thousands of repetitive trainings. In August 2017, Huang Xin led 10 team members to Russia to participate in the "Scouting Elite" international military competition, in which huang Xin and his comrades in arms were in contact for the first time. Before the competition, they repeatedly trained hundreds of times a day, their fingers were cut by the blade of the knife, and they wrapped in gauze to continue practicing, and finally won the first place in the course.

"Faster" is a practical trick practiced in countless dangerous and difficult subjects. Last September, the brigade organized parachute training. In order to achieve the effect of surprise victory, Huang Xin led the backbone of the parachute to carry out "high jump and low open" actual combat training. They left the plane from an altitude of 1200 meters to enter a free fall state, and then opened the parachute when they approached the height of 400 meters, quickly completed the air formation and fixed-point landing, which greatly shortened the time of the paratroopers to stay in the air and achieved the effect of concealed assault.

In the past 13 years since joining the army, Huang Xin has painstakingly practiced his fighting skills and bravely climbed the peak of special warfare, becoming a "three-pronged elite soldier" who has mastered more than 10 special combat skills, such as parachuting, diving, sniping, and blasting; he has participated in more than ten major training missions and won gold and silver in international military competitions many times; he has been awarded first-class merit twice and third-class meritorious service three times, and has been commended by the army as an "outstanding communist party member," "patriotic army elite military pacesetter," and "advanced individual in military training," and has been appraised by the army in the southern theater as "ten strong military pacesetters" and "patriotic army elite military pacesetters."

From soldier to cadre, from platoon leader to company commander, Huang Xin has always fought in the front line of special operations. "Faster than his opponent" is not only Huang Xin's requirement for himself, but also his commitment to the officers and men of the company. The 33-year-old Huang Xin was not only harsh on himself, but also often "forced" the officers and men of the whole company to conduct training in dangerous and difficult subjects in accordance with the requirements of the rules of international competitions, and constantly tried to train in a training mode that was closer to actual combat and improve the combat capability of officers and men.

The reporter saw at the training site: wild climbing, under the feet is more than 20 meters of cliffs, loose rocks continue to roll down; special blasting, 5 different materials of the target random appearance, the need to calculate the amount of explosives on the spot, the production of blasting devices... The soldiers who were accustomed to it told reporters: "Follow the company commander to the battlefield, we have the confidence to win the battle!" ”

"To promote the deepening of the training according to the new outline is to eliminate all the accumulated defects that do not meet the requirements of actual combat." Huang Xin told reporters that in the exchange of competitions with foreign special forces, he further broadened his horizons and deeply realized the important role of new combat forces in modern warfare.

"As a deputy to the people's congress of the armed forces, it is an unshirkable duty to offer suggestions and suggestions for strengthening the army and rejuvenating the army." Huang Xin told reporters that he sorted out the results of participating in international competitions and joint exercises and joint training in recent years, and sorted out the "Four-Point Proposal on Improving the Ability to Prepare for War in the New Era," which he was ready to submit during the meeting.

Interview Notes

If you're going to go to war tomorrow, what should you be ready for? In addition to weapons and equipment, the most important thing to prepare for the battlefield is the ability to win the battle.

During the interview, a leader of the brigade frankly said that after the readjustment and reform of the military structure, they have been thinking for a long time about how to quickly adapt to the requirements of the new outline and train combatants under the new system. Huang Xin is an excellent representative of the officers and men of the brigade who adapt to changes in the organizational structure and promote actual combat training based on their posts. His requirement to be "faster than his opponents" is an interpretation of the goal of "only first in the battlefield.". On the battlefield, only those who shoot faster than their opponents can seize the opportunity. Strictly conducting actual combat training and pursuing "faster than the opponent" is a dream that Huang Xin has worked hard to realize, and it is also a good way to force officers and men to train troops close to actual combat.
