Strong Army Motto
"There is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart."
Zhang Daming
Desert Gobi, flying sand and stones.
In the early hours of the morning, the countdown to the launch of live ammunition entered, and the officers and men of the firing battalion all raised their throats.
This battle is the first time since the battalion was replaced with a new missile that it has been selected to carry out a live-fire mission, and it will be a battle of honor recorded in the history of the battalion.
Inside the command post, battalion commander Zhang Daming stared at battlefield dynamics such as electromagnetic spectrum curves, meteorological satellite cloud maps, and real-time air situation warnings.
"Ignition!" Zhang Daming decisively issued an order. In an instant, the missile took off, and a few minutes later, a good report came from the landing area, and the missile successfully hit the target.
The superior leaders spoke highly of this battle. Zhang Daming promised in a loud voice: "In the future, I will go to the battlefield and ensure that I will also successfully complete the task!" "Hands up and feet, full of confidence."
This confidence stems from his hard power. Zhang Daming is the brigade's "top ten military training pacesetters" and has repeatedly won the championship in professional competitions.
However, his growth did not go smoothly. In 2008, Zhang Daming graduated from the military academy and was assigned to a company with the honorary title of "Test Launch Sharp Company". By the time of the company's first professional theoretical examination, he failed the test, and "the results were not as good as a conscript."
After this blow, Zhang Da knew that he was ashamed and courageous, quickly formulated a study plan, and immersed himself in studying missile principles and combat application knowledge. In the year-end assessment, his grades improved significantly.
Seeing that personal development is gradually on the rise, how to expect to be "Waterloo". In a comprehensive exercise, Zhang Daming was criticized by name at the review meeting due to a command error that caused the trumpeter to operate overtime. "Lack of actual combat experience, practical skills are not refined..." The words directly poke at the "pain points".
Zhang Daming thought bitterly, plunged into the training ground, compared professional knowledge, sorted out the difficult points of operation, and commanded the password one by one and the operation action "through the sieve" one by one.
It was summer, the brigade was on a launch mission, and the test came again. At this time, Zhang Daming was already a first-class launch company commander.
On the eve of the zero day of the launch, the officers and soldiers found a small problem during the test. Some consider the issue trivial and insignificant to continue. But Zhang Daming's attitude is very clear, "We must not let the missiles be launched with problems." ”
Zhang Daming led the officers and men to eliminate hidden dangers overnight. The next day, with an order, the missile drew a rainbow trajectory.
In 2015, Zhang Daming's 11th year as a soldier, he was transferred to the brigade's technical section chief. For the replacement of new missile weapons, the brigade party committee put forward the goal and task of "receiving training in the same year and completing the launch in the same year."
However, Corey's two chief teachers studied outside, and he was the only one left to "sing a monologue". Huge challenges lie ahead, and Zhang Daming does not hesitate to face difficulties.
In the face of the professional field that has never been involved, in the face of a list of problems reported by the grass-roots level, Zhang Daming formulated a countdown schedule for himself, ran the scene, asked the parameters, asked the experts... While exploring and learning, it has coordinated and solved problems, and has made important contributions to the completion of the task of changing the type launch.
The following year, a red-blue confrontation drill was launched in the deep mountains and dense forests. Round after round of special situation bombing, many officers and men have no bottom in their hearts, but Zhang Daming is confident, dispatching on the spot, seeing the tricks and dismantling moves. In the end, the brigade achieved a good result of second place in the overall score.
Today, Zhang Daming has grown from an ordinary operation trumpeter to a solid "missile pass". At the end of last year, Zhang Daming was named the commander of the rocket force's first-level launch battalion. He said: "As a 'veteran trumpeter', I will continue to write excellent answer sheets with bold charge after bold charge! ”
