Youth is brilliant because of grinding, and life is sublimated by struggle. Today, on the battlefield shouldering the sacred mission, let us let go of our dreams in the fiery youth and achieve a magnificent career in the youth of hard work. -- Editor Listening to the "heartbeat" of missiles ■ Xu Jiahao Xing Guoqing [Character Card] Wu Tao, second-class sergeant major of a certain brigade of the Rocket Army. He has been rated as a model soldier of the whole army and an outstanding non-commissioned officer of the whole army, won the first prize, the second prize and the third prize of the all-army non-commissioned officer outstanding talent award once, and the second class merit 3 times and the third class merit 5 times. Under the blue sky of the northwest plateau, the long sword of the big country is ready to be launched, and a certain brigade of the plateau rocket army is about to carry out the launch mission. Second-class sergeant major Wu Tao and his comrades were conducting the final inspection before the missile took off. The summer sun sets off a heat wave, the goggles are covered with a layer of water mist, and the instrument data that is close at hand is blurred into a blur of light and shadow. The last stage was detected. Suddenly, the pointer of the instrument in the hand of one of the trumpeters trembled, and he immediately reported loudly: "The equipment current detection is abnormal!" Wu Tao issued an instruction to "troubleshoot" while reporting the situation to the brigade commander. The team personnel immediately carried out investigation according to the division of labor in accordance with the plan. At the same time, the brigade commander stared at the surveillance screen in the command car and closely watched the operation of the squad. On the launch site, Wu Tao gently placed his finger on the cartridge that was baked hot by the sun, took a deep breath, fixed his mind, and put the pickup close to the cartridge, keenly capturing the subtle sound of the instrument coming out of the headset. The rhythmic "ticking" sound seemed to be the "heartbeat" of a missile. As the minutes and seconds passed, Wu Tao finally determined that the cartridge had no external injuries and no foreign bodies inside. He took out professional instruments and checked the circuits one by one. Where exactly is the failure? One by one, the green indicators showing "normal" made Wu Tao anxious, and the launch window was approaching a little. If it is not eliminated as soon as possible, the missile will miss the time to launch. Months of preparation, just for the missile to take off at this moment ... The brigade commander raised his hand and looked at his watch, and there was little time left. Everyone in the command car looked at Wu Tao's figure shaking in the heat wave and secretly pinched a handful of sweat for him. When Wu Tao first joined the army, his hair was black and shiny, his face was rosy, and he sat on the launch vehicle, with a majestic and heroic posture. Today, his face has been wrinkled by the wind and sand of the Gobi Desert over the years, but his enthusiasm for the sword of the great power and the belief in charging forward have never changed. Through the sweat-soaked protective clothing, Wu Tao's open eyes flashed with concentration and confidence. As one circuit after another was eliminated, Wu Tao suddenly found that the detection instrument flashed a red light. His eyes lit up, and the bad spot was found! A burned-out resistor causes the entire device to fail. Wu Tao breathed a sigh of relief, but Venus rose in front of his eyes, and cold sweat seeped out of his pores layer by layer. He sped up the movements in his hands, took out the prepared replacement resistor, tried to get rid of the limitations of the protective clothing, and carefully put the resistor into the device. "Drip!" There was a soft sound from the power supply equipment, and the faint sound was transmitted through the pickup to the ears of every member. This is the sound that symbolizes the smooth flow of the circuit, and it is the "heartbeat" of the missile that everyone has been waiting for for a long time. Wu Tao finally smiled, and he gave a thumbs up to give a signal of "troubleshooting". After a while, thunder sounded from the plateau as promised, and everyone's faces burst into bright smiles. Wu Tao looked at the white ballistic tracks in the sky, and his thoughts traveled through time and space, returning to the night when the old squad leader first took him to complete the live ammunition launch. On that day, the old squad leader, who was quite literate, looked at the brilliant stars in the night sky and said to him: "Xiao Tao, you see how beautiful this scenery is, the ballistic trajectory is across the sky, this is the sea of stars pursued by our highland rocket soldiers!" Thinking of this, Wu Tao could no longer suppress his excitement, and smiles and tears appeared on his face at the same time. Youth "Target"■Wu Min Zeng Li [Character Business Card] Xiao Mingdan, a sergeant of a special operations detachment of the armed police. Rong Li third class merit 3 times. At that moment, the range was very quiet, and Xiao Mingdan, who was lying on the target, could even hear his own breathing. A cloud suddenly drifted from the sky, instantly obscuring the direct sunlight, and the target was like a master's oil painting, changing back and forth between light and shadow. Xiao Mingdan quickly pulled the trigger, and the gun fell on the target. Only then was the few large characters obscured by the target in the distance fully revealed--"from here to the battlefield." Xiao Mingdan took off his helmet, tossed his short, lean hair, and a smile appeared on his lips. From enlistment to today, she hit the "youth target" again and again and grew into the best version of herself. In 2015, the original unit set up a women's special service class. Xiao Mingdan passed the selection and assessment layer by layer and became the first squad leader of the special service class. In order to bring the class out of the way, Xiao Mingdan responded to the question with a "practice" word. "On the battlefield, bullets do not distinguish between male and female soldiers. What subjects male special operators practice, we practice. In the "Devil's Week" 30-kilometer extreme running course, Xiao Mingdan left some male special operators behind with the first place in the female soldiers. Under her leadership, all the female soldiers fought tenaciously and completed the course. Since that war, she has become a "special warfare Dan" in the eyes of male special operators. The targets are similar, but they are different from year to year. In 2018, with the reform of the troops, Xiao Mingdan was selected as the "Falcon Commando" women's special warfare brigade with the first place in the overall evaluation. After receiving 4 "Extreme Survival Training Warrior" medals, Xiao Mingdan stared at the military training teaching method. Through continuous induction, she proposed the "happy" physical pedagogy. In the military trainer competition, Xiao Mingdan won the first place in the special warfare profession and was commended by the armed police force as an "excellent coach" and a "special talent specializing in intermediate counter-terrorism reconnaissance." There is no end to the special operations cause, and anti-terrorism training is always on the way. This time, Xiao Mingdan had to face the shaking target. The first time I shot in a car, the car shook and the people shook. Xiao Mingdan sat in the shooting position, and he couldn't aim at the target. The second car shot, the bullet out of the chamber, the target did not fall. Xiao Mingdan has a stubborn personality, but he is soft in his rigidity and rigorous in thinking. She found the veteran team members and threw out multiple questions in one breath. "How can the vehicle be more stable according to the gun as it advances?" How do I switch seamlessly between pitch and elevation shots? How do you keep your gun moving when you jolt up and down and rock from side to side? "Muscle memory." For the simple answer of the old team members, Xiao Mingdan was not satisfied. "If you can't aim precisely in static, you have to find balance in dynamics." Breakthroughs come from trying and summarizing after rational thinking. "There are three types of shaking – longitudinal shaking caused by vehicle shaking, lateral shaking, and irregular shaking caused by low fit between people and vehicles. We have to break through the difficulties one by one through layered training. Xiao Mingdan put forward his own views in a discussion with Captain Yu Mingqiang: "I think it is possible to install a backpack rope to greatly reduce the shaking caused by the vehicle, and use the flexibility of the backpack rope to achieve the purpose of soft kegang." Xiao Mingdan said, and walked towards the all-terrain vehicle again. She hung the backpack rope, relying on the rope and the roof rail to form a triangular structure, so that the lower cover of the gun was resting on the lower apex of the triangular structure, so that the gun had a soft focus point. Raising the gun, aiming, firing, Xiao Mingdan was in one go, and the bullet hit the bullseye. Before he could catch his breath, the target flashed. 5 gunshots rang out, and the target of the gun fell. The "Falcon Commando" battle flag sounded against the wind, and Xiao Mingdan's face showed the joy of victory. The gunshot target fell without false hair, which was the perfect annotation that Xiao Mingdan made for his youth. Mission Track ■ Zhang Jing TaiHao [Character Card] Yang Lei, sergeant of the UAV Company of a support and support regiment of the Xinjiang Military Region. Rong Li third class merit 1 time. The morning sun sprinkled dappled light and shadow through the clouds, dispelling a chill from the highland peaks. In the sun, a drone passed through the clouds. Yang Lei held the joystick in his hand, looking at the cloud marks crossed by the drone, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. At this moment, he had waited too long... As the "Eagle Eye Driver" with the strongest technology in the whole division, Yang Lei has no bottom in his heart to release this "old guy" who has been with him for 7 years in the snowy plateau at an altitude of nearly 5300 meters. Sure enough, during the first test flight, the engine stalled. Yang Lei's head slowly hung down, staring at the "old guy" who was lying motionless on the ground, without saying a word. He knew that this was because the low oxygen content of the plateau led to insufficient oxygen intake of the engine, and the oil could not be fully burned, and the only solution was to replace the engine. "Will the superiors agree?" Replacing the engine is only the first step, can the drone achieve smooth flight in the complex environment of the plateau? Will it cause serious damage to the equipment? A series of worries made Yang Lei's brow tighten. After a moment, he set his sights on the empty blue sky. "As a new type of combat force, drones play a pivotal role on the battlefield, but if there is no way to take off, it is like a pile of scrap iron." Yang Lei gently wiped a thin layer of ash on the wings of the drone and plucked up the courage to show his thoughts to the regiment leaders. "Try it, we take responsibility for what goes wrong." With the support of the regimental leadership, new engines were quickly purchased. Stepping onto the training ground again, the sudden wind rolled the sand and rubble on his face, Yang Lei couldn't help but recall a scene 3 years ago... It was an operation training, and the drone operated by Yang Lei landed smoothly, but the parachute was still floating in the sky. At this time, a fierce wind dragged the parachute and dragged the drone forward for hundreds of meters. In the blink of an eye, the drone was badly damaged. "If this is still the case in the plains, will the winds of the plateau be repeated?" That accident became Yang Lei's lingering nightmare. In order to ensure flight safety, on the day of the test flight, Yang Lei came to the training ground early and conducted a detailed inspection of the UAV. "3, 2, 1, ignition!" Facing the cold wind like a knife, Yang Lei stared at the screen deadly. The palm of the hand holding the joystick was wet, but still pushed forward steadily. The drone takes off instantaneously according to the wind direction measured in the previous period, and flies all the way according to the preset route. "Squad leader, the nose is up!" The comrades next to him suddenly exclaimed. When the gust of wind struck, the drone began to deviate from the predetermined course, Yang Lei subconsciously activated the automatic correction function, but the drone swayed with the wind like a kite with a broken line. As the pitch angle gradually increased, Yang Lei knew that if he continued to fly, the drone would most likely be blown over. The case of increasing the throttle control flight that I saw in the textbook before flashed in Yang Lei's mind. Looking at the sky again, Yang Lei's slightly squinted eyes flashed with confidence. "Adjust the system parameters, control the nose..." In an instant, the drone flew smoothly over the high ground, a small white dot in the field of vision continues to grow larger, and then the outline gradually became clearer. Safe landing! "This is the first high-altitude flight of this type of drone. Amid the cheers of his comrades-in-arms, Yang Lei was relieved. Whenever he recalls that day, Yang Lei will subconsciously look at the blue sky in the distance, as if looking for the mission track engraved by the drone in the sky. Wang Shan, corporal of a certain brigade of the Tibet Military Region, and the driver of the first batch of plateau women's transport detachments. He has been rated as an excellent soldier and an excellent non-commissioned officer pacesetter. In the inaccessible places of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the blue sky canopy covers the four fields, the distant mountains contain snow, and the sea of clouds gathers and disperses, and the movements are suitable for each other, which attracts people's reverie. In early summer, Wang Shan drove a heavy truck into the picturesque plateau sky road. The scenery in front of you changed abruptly, the terrain was violently lifted, and the road was forced into the canyon, all the way to the cliff, the curve was narrow, and the steep cliff was rocky. When we reached The Kazila Mountains, more than 4,000 meters above sea level, the wind was blowing with blizzards. Wang Shan clenched the steering wheel, and the beauty between her eyebrows was difficult to hide. Don't underestimate this seemingly childish baby face. On the ice and snow road, Wang Shan was able to accurately predict the direction of the wheel slipping, and several times she was about to slide out of the road, but as a result, her eyes were fast and she decisively pulled back in the direction. Escaping from the danger, Wang Shan breathed a long sigh of relief. She glanced out the window, the car running in the mountains, the clouds around her, and a triumphant thrill arose. From childhood to adulthood, Wang Shan, who has a quiet personality, likes to stare at the sky in a daze. As a pilot and a flight attendant, Wang Shan's blue sky dream passed her by for various reasons. That year, a group of recruitment advertisements in her hometown gave her direction. Looking at the blue sky of Tibet on the poster, she suddenly had an idea in her heart: "Go to Tibet to become a soldier!" This place closest to the blue sky satisfies almost all of Wang Shan's imagination: dancing drifting clouds, high-flying goshawks, and brilliant galaxies. Trekking thousands of miles towards her dreams, Wang Shan never stepped out of her mother's worried eyes. Every time I made a video call, looking at my daughter's slightly rough face after the wind and the sun, listening to her tell her thrilling driving experience, my mother was heartbroken: "Girl, if you have seen enough scenery, go home!" Mother doesn't want you to be so good, just be safe and secure..." Looking at her mother's loving eyes, for a moment, Wang Shan wanted to immediately return to her hometown where she was worried about day and night. However, the plateau heavenly road also haunted her and could not be separated. Wang Shan will never forget that year, a certain type of missile organization was launched from the plateau, and she drove across mountains and rivers in the wind and snow to transport the missiles to the position safely and unscathed. The long sword came out of its sheath and shot down the target in the air. Looking at the sky, Wang Shan's pride rose in her heart, because this battle also had a glory that belonged to her. When the soldiers left Tibet, Wang Shan washed away the lead in the snow and wind, and faded away with cowardice. This military green flower is like those unknown flowers on the Tibetan plateau, tough and stubborn. Over the years, the route she drove the vehicle through was like a link, stringing together the military camps scattered on the plateau, involving the work and life of some of the officers and men on the border. In the late autumn of last year, a certain border defense company in Shigatse prepared winter reserves in advance. Unexpectedly, the wind and snow quietly struck, the road was frozen, and the driver of the place where the supplies were delivered reached the halfway point. Wang Shan and his comrades-in-arms led the expedition, removing ice and shoveling snow all the way, and finally rushed to transport the supplies to the company before the snow completely closed the mountain. On the way back, Wang Shan remembered the smiling faces of the officers and soldiers when they saw the transport convoy, and the hardships along the way turned into sweet memories. "Assembled, ready to go!" It was another long trip, and the destination was far away that Wang Shan had never been to before. The sky is washed and blue and clean. At this time, the flowing clouds seemed to be watching her depart again with her dreams.
