"In 1962, when the combat hero Wu Yuanming was wounded twice in the battle of the Battle of The Bridge around the Kejielang area, he still held out for 3 days and 3 nights, repelling the enemy's attack many times..." In early April, when the Sangya Border Defense Company, which had the honorary title of "First Class Meritorious Company," carried out the Qingming Sacrifice sweeping activity at the site of the Battle of The Bridge, instructor Deng Lin Zhengman spoke affectionately about the heroic deeds of the battle hero Wu Yuanming, which made the officers and men boil with blood and were deeply shocked.
"In connection with the activities of studying the deeds of heroic models, education in party history and military history should be included in it, and officers and men should be guided to relive heroic stories and strengthen their faith in fighting on the side." Wu Guohua, director of the Political Work Department of the Shannan Military Sub-district in Tibet, said: The predecessor of the units of the military sub-district was the 159th Regiment of the Eighteenth Army, which has experienced major historical events such as building roads into Tibet, countering rebellion and suppressing bandits, and border self-defense and counterattack battles. The beacon years have accumulated heavy honors, and heroic models such as Zhang Fulin, a road-building hero, Wu Yuanming, a combat hero, and a model company of the Weiguo Shubian Model Company have emerged one after another, and the troops' historical traditions are thick and rich in red resources, which are all valuable resources for carrying out education in party history and military history.
To this end, they have invited veteran party members and veterans stationed in the garrison to enter the education classroom on many occasions to tell stories of battles filled with gun smoke; every Qingming Festival, martyrs' memorial days, and commemoration days for heroic and exemplary figures in the army, they organize and carry out activities such as raising the national flag, revisiting the oath of joining the party, and heroic story meetings, so as to review the glorious history, inherit the red bloodline, and arouse the strength to forge ahead; and comprehensively promote the construction of the "military history corridor," the "wall of honor," and the battle memorial hall, so that the vast number of officers and men can firmly adhere to the belief of defending the border of the land while looking back on the past and looking forward to the future Dig deep into the typical examples around them, make use of the red resources of the garrison, the history of the Eighteenth Army's entry into Tibet, and the history of the struggle of old Tibet, build educational classrooms anytime and anywhere, and promote the study and education of party history and military history to go deep into officers and soldiers, the grassroots, and the hearts of the people.
The hero story stirs up the snow mountain checkpoint, and the guards sing the battle song of the strong army. The broad masses of officers and men have turned their enthusiasm for studying party history and military affairs into a motive force for making meritorious contributions based on their posts, and have continued to set off an upsurge of military training and preparation for war. Not long ago, 21 recruits from the second battalion of a certain border defense regiment applied for a life-and-death patrol road, climbing cliffs, wading through rapids, crossing dangerous beaches, and collapsing in battle, and successfully completed the patrol task after 4 days and 3 nights.
