In the upcoming military parade commemorating the 80th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the World Anti Fascist War, there is a legendary veteran Ding Hui. He was called the "King of Tank Troops" by his comrades and will be honored for the sixth time. Ding Hui is an armored technician and driver of a certain composite brigade infantry company in the 82nd Group Army. He is a first-class sergeant who has received dozens of awards and honors, including first-class merit, second-class merit, and the first prize of the Excellent Talent Award for Non commissioned Officers in the whole army. Since joining the army, Ding Hui has undergone multiple equipment upgrades and is proficient in three professions: vehicle commander, gunner, and driver. Every time new equipment is installed, he fully embodies the spirit of "craftsmanship" and becomes an expert in equipment operation and application, interpreting his motto with actions - "Do one thing well, focus to the extreme". Choose one thing, for the rest of your life. Ding Hui's "one thing" is driving tanks, mastering tanks, and dedicating himself to the tank cause. From the moment he put on his military uniform, he was glued to the seemingly ordinary but crucial position of tank driver. The tank power compartment, this' square inch space 'carries Ding Hui's military youth. Whenever the engine roars and the smell of oil in the air rushes into my nose, I feel particularly at ease, "Ding Hui said. Whether it's extreme cold and heat, or sandstorms, rain, and snow, the training ground and garage are Ding Hui's main battlefields. He has been studying tank driving and maintenance techniques for decades, engraving every component, every pipeline, and every sound in his mind. He knows the tanks he drives like the back of his hand and can accurately control massive steel beasts in complex environments, achieving the realm of "human vehicle integration". Zheng Yuhong, the captain of Ding Hui's team, commented: "His level of expertise is the result of tens of thousands of hours of driving experience, countless disassembly and maintenance, and repeated exploration of performance limits." In previous military parades, Ding Hui has been reviewed 5 times and driven the equipment team's "first car" 4 times. However, the veteran encountered new problems. This year, the entire team is composed of multiple vehicle models, and different vehicle conditions and technical and tactical performance have brought new challenges to the orderly movement. Compared to other drivers, as the 'first car' standard of the equipment team, I have higher requirements, "Ding Hui said. Ding Hui not only has top-notch technology, but also has brought out batches of technical backbones. Now, the most I think about is how to bring out more disciples and pass on my years of experience, "he said. Second level sergeant Xiong Pengsheng has a strong accent, and demonstrating and explaining has always been his weakness. In 2023, he participated in the "Hundred Coaches Competition" organized by the group army. As the head coach, Ding Hui organized teaching during the day and "opened a small stove" for him in his spare time. He often repeated one content hundreds of times, and practiced for five or six hours at a time. Finally, Xiong Pengsheng ranked among the top performers and was awarded second-class merit. Xiong Pengsheng is Ding Hui's old partner, and the two of them are still fighting side by side in the same car during this military parade. Over the years, Ding Hui has trained and led more than 500 technical backbone and excellent coaches, and over a hundred people have won first place in various competitions. The morning light is faintly visible. A new day has begun, and Ding Hui has once again plunged into that 'square inch land'. (New Society)
