Loushan Pass, clouds rushing and mist surging, peaks like waves. Wuqi Town, with thousands of mountains shining brightly and thousands of valleys covered in rosy clouds. 90 years ago, two dangerous locations, one in the south and one in the north, witnessed the first major victory of the Central Red Army's Long March and the first victory after entering the Shaanxi Gansu base area. Both battles were commanded by Peng Dehuai. 90 years have passed, and standing in front of a huge electronic sand table in a certain Air Force aviation unit, the reporter can overlook two former battlefield sites, both of which are under the trajectory of the aircraft. The mountains are high, the roads are far, the pits are deep, and the army is galloping in all directions. Who dares to use a horizontal knife immediately? Only me, General Peng. ”The platform mountain where Peng Dehuai commanded the battle of Wuqi Town has now been renamed as "Victory Mountain". Climbing and looking into the distance, the peaks rise and fall. The heavy word 'victory' radiates a dazzling light and also extends the gaze of military personnel. The concern of an old soldier and the vigilance of a military unit - "The higher the military position, the heavier the responsibility." In Fushun, Liaoning, an old unit apartment of over 50 square meters carries the childhood memories of Captain Xu of a certain regiment. Pushing open the door, the house was decorated in a simple and unadorned manner. There is a prominent map of China hanging on the wall. My grandfather was a veteran of the Korean War who had a lifetime of hidden achievements and fame. He died nine times on the battlefield, leaving behind only this small apartment. ”When it comes to grandfather, Captain Xu's words are full of admiration. He doesn't love wealth or fame, and this is where he can't let go of his worries. "Captain Xu raised his hand and pointed to the treasure island of Taiwan on the map." In his later years, my grandfather often held a magnifying glass and looked at it for most of the day in front of the map. "The shallow strait was deeply missed. That year, Captain Xu flew a fighter jet around the island. When on vacation and visiting relatives, he gently traced the trajectory on the map with his fingers. After seeing this, my grandfather's face broke into a smile and he deeply hoped, "When the motherland is unified, you must tell me!" "During the Korean War, my grandfather was a car soldier, and many comrades sacrificed themselves in enemy plane bombings. He dreams that his country has a strong air force. ”Captain Xu remembers that before his grandfather passed away, there was a period of time when he couldn't recognize the family he had been with day and night, but he kept repeating the names of his fallen comrades. That generation of soldiers, who came out of the war, yearned for peace in their hearts, and the smell of war could never fade from their bodies. ”Looking at things and thinking about people, Captain Xu sighed and said, "What my grandfather was most worried about before he passed away was whether our generation of soldiers, especially military leaders, would get used to the peaceful days and become the 'peace officers' of Ma Fangnan after a long period of peace." The words of this person's long death are still in our ears, which is thought-provoking. The leader of the department said with deep emotion, "Only by vigorously rectifying the 'drunken peace' can the military 'defend peace'. Deepening political training means removing the 'peace disease' from some leading cadres." These days, the department is organizing a scenario based ideological and political class. The reporter saw that the story of the People's Air Force fighting bravely in the Korean War using stage art such as sound, light, and electricity was brought to the classroom. The Korean War ended, and some Americans exclaimed: Communist China almost overnight became one of the world's major air force powers. Behind this miracle, there are many senior military leaders who, in times of peace, harbored worries and worked tirelessly - Liu Yalou, the first commander of the People's Air Force who served his entire life after the founding of the People's Republic of China, persisted in his work despite illness in order to accelerate the construction of the Air Force's combat effectiveness. He passed away at the age of only 55. Liu Yalou's widow recalled that when the doctor examined him, he was surprised to find that his liver was more than four fingers larger than an ordinary person and hardened like a stone. I can't imagine what kind of willpower he relied on to work at full capacity all year round. This situational ideological and political class once again reminded Captain Xu of his grandfather who had passed away more than two years ago: "Every time I think back on how he looked at the map, there is a sentence stuck in my chest - the motherland has not yet been unified. The higher the military position, the heavier the responsibility." Heading east, flying over the stormy ocean. That time, Captain Xu, as the captain, flew the plane out of the first island chain for routine training. On the way, a foreign military aircraft deliberately interfered and suddenly changed course, flying at high speed towards the fighter jet piloted by Captain Xu, attempting to force him to turn and avoid. Inside the cockpit, the piercing alarm sound became increasingly urgent. Captain Xu shouted to his comrades, 'Don't move, keep heading and altitude,' and steadily controlled the fighter jet to fly along the predetermined route. As the two planes got closer, the opponent couldn't hold back and changed course to break free from contact. Recalling the critical moment of confrontation, Captain Xu's expression was firm: "I thought at that time, we must not let our opponents succeed and let the dignity of the country be damaged!" Clouds surged in the long sky. Such experiences are not uncommon among leaders at all levels of the department. Amidst the tranquility, there are countless thrilling moments hidden... The decision of a group of battle heroes and a new era's grand test - 'Wearing military equipment, not for official positions, only for victory' - as night falls, the moon hangs high. After a day of flight training, the roaring engine sound disappeared among the mountains, and the surroundings fell silent. Wearing the moonlight, the reporter walked into the historical exhibition hall of the department. A three-dimensional battlefield simulation scene makes the reporter feel as if they are in the first joint landing operation of our army - the Battle of Yijiangshan Island. At that time, our unit had been established for less than 5 years, and the time to install bombers was even shorter. Although the team is young, there are a large number of leading cadres who fought on the battlefield! ”The leader of the department knows this period of war history like a treasure trove - after receiving the battle order, Zhang Weiliang, who was then the leader of the department, piloted a fighter jet to lead the expedition. The first bombing caused a sudden change in the sea weather and a dense cloud cover in the sky. Zhang Weiliang led the bomber fleet to lower their altitude, braving the enemy's dense anti-aircraft fire and bombing at low altitude, sinking and injuring one enemy ship each. The second bombing was still led by Zhang Weiliang. During the battle, the fighter jet suddenly trembled and the crew reported that it had been hit. Zhang Weiliang remained calm and composed, continuing to complete the bombing mission with superb skills. After returning, the maintenance personnel found that a piece of anti-aircraft gun shrapnel hit the landing gear of the fighter jet. Browse Zhang Weiliang's military resume. Before becoming an Air Force pilot, he was already a combat hero who was injured several times during the Anti Japanese War and the Liberation War. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, many combat heroes like Zhang Weiliang resolutely joined the newly established People's Air Force and learned to fly from scratch. Some of them were already leaders of the Youth League at that time, but gave up their leadership positions and willingly became flight trainees; Some only have elementary school education, but they learn to pilot advanced fighter jets through hard work... When talking about those passionate years, the leaders of the department are deeply moved: "Generals are forged in the flames of war. They need to be prepared to accept the quenching of the next war at all times, and continue to strengthen their party spirit." A set of numbers is full of glory - among the 10 founding marshals of our army, 7 are injured. Marshal Liu Bocheng alone was injured 9 times, leaving behind over 10 battle wounds. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Liu Bocheng, who was nearly sixty years old, took the initiative to request the establishment of a military academy, dedicating himself to cultivating talented soldiers who could adapt to modern warfare for the people's army. One surrender reflects the spirit of a warrior - General Xu Haidong, the founding general, is a renowned warrior in our army. He was injured 9 times, leaving behind 17 battle wounds. In 1955, Chairman Mao proposed to confer the rank of General on Xu Haidong, but he repeatedly declined, citing that he had not been to the battlefield for 15 years due to injuries and illnesses, and did not participate in the Liberation War and the Korean War, and felt that he was not qualified. Wearing military attire, not for official gain, only for victory. ”The leader of the department said emotionally, thinking about the choices of the older generation of leaders and the surging new military reform, we should know how to do it today. Victory does not favor past winners. As a new domain and new quality combat force inspected by President Xi, the department has been equipped with multiple types of fighter jets in recent years, and a new transformation test is facing the leadership of the department. In the past, aviation units often said that a commander should be a person with top-notch flying and tactical skills in the unit. However, it may not be the case now. ”A leader of the regiment recalled an experience - a few years ago, the first batch of pilots from different age groups were selected for training in the regiment, and the regiment leader took the lead and was also among them. However, the assessment results were surprising: the top ranked ones were actually several young pilots. The new equipment is highly informatized, and young people have innate advantages in understanding and comprehension. ”This incident deeply touched the leaders and cadres at all levels of the department. "To command tomorrow's war, we cannot rely solely on yesterday's experience and past experience." It was already late at night, and the lights in the simulation training center were still bright. Several pilots in leadership positions in the department were still "training" and "learning" here. Nowadays, they are all proficient in piloting new fighter jets. Flipping through a group leader's study notes, a sentence on the title page stands out - "A commander who doesn't study, there's no tomorrow! ”A brand new runway and a risky reform - 'In times of peace, one cannot be a' peace officer '' - fly across the clouds with a bridge, and the natural barrier becomes a clear path. On the eve of this year's National Day, the world's tallest bridge, the Huajiang Canyon Bridge, was officially opened to traffic, attracting tourists from all over the world. Hundreds of kilometers away, dozens of construction machinery from a certain group that built this bridge are participating in a joint military civilian exercise. The reporter saw that on the backup runway of a certain Air Force aviation unit, the leader calmly commanded dozens of military and civilian engineering machinery to shuttle back and forth, quickly repairing multiple large craters with a diameter of more than ten meters. This new technology has significantly improved the efficiency of runway repair. Even if the airport is severely damaged during wartime, it can quickly resume normal use. ”Looking at the smooth and pristine runway, the leader of the department told reporters, "In the past, we paid more attention to how the pilots flew. Nowadays, leaders at all levels are thinking more and more carefully, and many of the shortcomings of the past are being quickly strengthened." The deeper the leadership's strategy, the more solid the military's preparation. The political commissar of the People's Armed Forces Department of Nanming District, Guiyang City, who assisted in organizing this military civilian joint exercise, sighed and said, "Only by truly fighting for war can leading cadres take many problems that will not arise in peacetime as urgent issues and seriously study and solve them." "In peacetime, we cannot be 'Taiping officials'. ”Looking at the military and civilian engineering vehicles in front of him, the political commissar talked about a past event - in February 1953, Peng Dehuai, who was in charge of the daily work of the Military Commission, went to East China to inspect the combat readiness work. At a coastal artillery position, he saw that the ammunition depot was too close to the gun position and lacked protective measures. The team leader explained that the issue with the ammunition depot had also been discovered within the group, but due to other reasons, it had not been rebuilt yet. Upon hearing this, Peng Dehuai said seriously, "Is there anything more important than guarding your position and preventing enemy shells from overturning it?" "In times of peace, there are countless things to consider. The more so, the more determined the leaders and cadres need to be, and make improving their ability to prepare for war a top priority. ”Captain Liu of a certain flight squadron in the department said that if the leader's view of political achievements is biased by one inch, the accuracy of the troops' preparation for war may be biased by one foot. They cannot fall into utilitarianism, engage in harmful enthusiasm that deviates from the standards of combat effectiveness, or be timid and avoid difficult problems related to the generation of combat effectiveness. Entering Captain Liu's office, the reporter saw several newly formulated training schedules on the table. The next day, he will serve as the commander for flight training. In the past, commanders could complete such plans in half an hour, but now it takes at least two to three hours. ”Captain Liu introduced the planned flight courses one by one, saying that the increase in duration was due to the increased complexity of training.
