A yellow People's Daily is displayed in the glass window of the company history museum of "Songgufeng Special Skill Company" of a brigade of the 81st Group Army.

"This is our company's heirloom!" Peng Chen, the company's political instructor, introduced to the reporter, "On April 11, 1951, the People's Daily published a reportage work" Who is the cutest person "on the front page. This article recorded the heroic feat of the company's ancestors who fought hard to defend the Songgu Peak."

"The brave men shouted slogans on the smoke and fire mountain, killing the enemy in front of the position again and again..." 73 years ago, there was a force that went through time and space, bringing Peng Chen's thoughts to the years of war: in the fight against Songgu Peak, the company officers and men faced more than 20 times the force of my enemy, and fought desperately, They blocked the attack of the enemy mechanized forces with flesh and blood.

The heroic spirit forged by the ancestors with clank and iron bone is enduring and inspiring. In the new era, the company's officers and men are more energetic and stronger. They are steeling their will in the battle field, actively exploring transformation and construction in the reorganization, reconstruction, and rebirth, fully liberating and developing new quality combat effectiveness, and constantly launching new challenges on the road to victory.

"Everyone is a nail, which should be firmly nailed to the position."

Every time Peng Chen reviews Lian Shi, he can't help but cry when he sees the words of Dai Ruyi, the old company commander, and Yang Shaocheng, the old instructor, when they make the final battlefield mobilization——

"Our three companies must shoulder the heavy burden! The enemy has steel and petrol bombs, and we have a weapon the enemy does not have - courage and determination."

Peng Chen said that he would remember these two sentences for a lifetime. He introduced that in the battle of Songgufeng, Dai Ruyi's left leg was broken, he still tenaciously commanded to kill the enemy, and was shot and killed later; After Yang Shaocheng ran out of bullets, he fought with the enemy with his bayonet. After the enemy held him tightly, he shouted "Comrades, firmly hold the position" and pulled out the last grenade on his body... Now, these two words of the old company commander and the old instructor have become company training, engraved in the bones of the officers and soldiers of the company. Every day, all officers and soldiers in the company should recite the roll call.

In the "Songgufeng Special Skill Company", each class has its own honor book, each cadre is an excellent commentator of the company history, and each soldier is familiar with the process of Songgufeng's resistance. Influenced by the world, officers and soldiers have a deeper understanding of the heroic spirit. Inherit the spirit of heroism, and we will bravely show our swords and strive for the first place in various tasks.

"In those days, facing the enemy, the company's warriors did not retreat half a step. Although the smoke of 288.7 highlands dissipated, the spirit of 'show the sword when facing the enemy, and defeat steel with strength' has long been engraved in the hearts of the company's officers and men, and everyone always carries that kind of heroic spirit." said Li Yulong, a soldier.

Li Yulong introduced that this year, in an offensive combat drill, the superior ordered their platoon to act as the front attack team to open up access. When we reached the front of the "enemy", we found a 3-meter high barbed wire fence, and the engineering unit broke it many times without success. In the face of obstacles, Wu Xinyu, the monitor, led everyone to tear a hole in the barbed wire, and each person's arm was scratched with several scars. In the end, they fulfilled their mission successfully.

"Although the conditions of the times have changed and the weapons and equipment have changed, the winning code of the red gene can never change. We have more steel, so we need more strength and strength," said Sun Chenghao, the company commander.

In recent years, the "Songgufeng Special Skill Company" has been reorganized and reshaped for many times, ushering in the development process from motorization to mechanization, and then to digital construction. Now it has become a digital armored infantry company with many advanced equipment... From "less steel and more gas" to "more steel and more gas", the company officers and men always believe that the "handle" of advanced equipment must be The organic combination with the "blade" of spiritual power can create an invincible "digital blade".

"The precious spiritual wealth that our ancestors exchanged with flesh and blood is constantly being endowed with new era connotation." Looking at the hot scene of everyone training hard on the training ground, Sun Chenghao firmly said, "On the way to accelerate the transformation of the company, we will be able to overcome difficulties as hard as our revolutionary predecessors stuck to the Songgu Peak, study hard on the operation and use of digital equipment in the battle position, and comprehensively improve the operational efficiency of equipment."

Make good use of digital equipment and constantly cultivate the digital thinking of combatants

"Pay attention to the whole vehicle, armour piercing bullet, left front, 'enemy' armored vehicle, annihilate!"

"Target locked, launch!"

In the simulation training room of the company, the sound of operation command and the roar of combat vehicles kept rising, and more than 10 new shooters were using the infantry combat vehicle simulation trainer for shooting training.

At present, information technology and weapons and equipment are developing rapidly. Mastering high-tech equipment is an important way to improve combat effectiveness. In the process of digital transformation of the company, the period of training professionals according to the traditional training method is long, which is prone to talent fault and affects the generation of new equipment combat effectiveness. "While making good use of the digital equipment in hand, we also constantly cultivate the digital thinking of the combatants to give full play to the combat effectiveness of the equipment." Xia Fan, the super gold medal coach of the unit where "Songgufeng Special Skill Company" belongs, said.

"Last year, the military basic training on-site meeting was held in our unit, and representatives of all services and arms gathered here. Everyone actively explored and jointly summarized the" four modernizations "training model of" specialized teaching, intensive training, simulated training, and standardized assessment ", providing us with more scientific training methods." "Songgufeng Special Skills Company" Liu Yang, the staff officer of the training section of the brigade, introduced.

The story of the infantry chariot shooter Deng Chao epitomizes the role of the new training mode. Since Deng Chao joined the army four years ago, his professional quality is not outstanding, and his training achievements hover at the middle level of the company. In order to help Deng Chao improve his military accomplishment, the company applied the "four modernizations" training mode and customized a series of training plans for him: special training was carried out using virtual reality (VR) simulation training equipment, coaches of each company were consulted for their own weaknesses, and comprehensive evaluation was organized regularly at different stages

After months of scientific training, in the final assessment, Deng Chao's achievements in various subjects such as tactics and shooting have improved significantly, and his belief in taking root in the military camp and striving to build a strong army has become more firm. "Now, under the influence of the 'four modernizations' training mode, the quality and efficiency of training for company officers and soldiers have been greatly improved," Liu Yang said.

In recent years, the company also tried to establish a joint training mechanism with the army aviation force for the first time, and regularly carried out training for each other's opponents and conditions, constantly testing the system combat capability of digital equipment; It is the first time to explore manned and unmanned intelligent cooperative operations, and try to use unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned vehicles and other intelligent weapons to complete battlefield reconnaissance, attack and other tasks... These "firsts" are powerful proof of the company's officers and men's efforts in exploring new operational concepts and methods of combat training.

Looking back on his journey, Sun Chenghao sighed with emotion: "The stars never fail the passers-by. The whole company of officers and men are tied together to be the pioneers of exploration in preparation for war, which has laid a solid foundation for promoting the efficient integration of new quality productivity and new quality combat effectiveness and two-way pulling."

Focus on functions and missions, and continue to create a new growth pole of combat effectiveness

Entering the training ground of "Songgufeng Special Skill Company", an urban offensive and defensive combat drill was in full swing. At the stage of seizing control of the town, the sharp knife squad of "Songgufeng Special Skill Company" received a notice from the leader: the armored unit responsible for the deep attack was frustrated and the situation was critical... After receiving the notice, the squad leader Sun Jiaren immediately decided to launch an unmanned combat vehicle to carry out reconnaissance through key buildings.

Li Jiaxin, the driver of the unmanned combat vehicle, synchronously shared the reconnaissance with the unit through the integrated command platform to guide it to transfer firepower, attack the "enemy"'s weakness, and open a breakthrough at one stroke... After the victory, Sun Jiaren excitedly said: "Unmanned reconnaissance, precision attack, integrated command and control, new quality combat force has become a killer weapon to seize the initiative in the battlefield!"

"Our exploration for the development of new quality combat effectiveness began several years ago. At that time, the task book reached our unit, which listed several digital equipment 'early exploration' courses, many of which were specially marked as urgently needed to be completed." Technician Chang Jiachao recalled the scene at that time, and was filled with emotion, "The unit where the 'Songgufeng Special Skill Company' is located is the first digital force in the whole army, which is the only choice to complete these 'early exploration' courses. Only by hard work can we live up to our mission."

The military order stood upright, and the charge horn sounded. In recent years, the officers and soldiers of the company have groped forward on the road of developing new quality combat effectiveness: the first preliminary exploration of digital equipment in extremely cold conditions, the first trial training of helicopter succession command, the first practice of full range mobile operations of synthetic battalions... a series of "first", which has helped the company's combat effectiveness to achieve new leaps and bounds.

At an altitude of 4100 meters, it is a new height for "Songgufeng Special Skill Company" to fight after inserting "digital wings". After realizing the transformation from infantry battalion to synthetic battalion, the company officers and men went to the plateau to carry out live military exercises and carry out the exploration task of synthetic battalion full range mobile operations.

According to the plan, they had to adapt for half a month, but Li Guoqiang, the top sergeant in the contest, plunged into the cold chariot on the first day of climbing the plateau. In the face of various situations of equipment in the plateau environment, Li Guoqiang and his comrades in arms took the initiative to consult their brother units stationed in the plateau for a long time, asked the manufacturer's master to teach and explain the equipment performance principle, and finally found a set of effective moves to make the weapons and equipment play its due role.

"At that time, we practiced our skills in the training ground during the day and got into the chariot at night for research. Everyone shouted the slogan of 'no lack of fighting spirit due to lack of oxygen and higher working standards at high altitude' under extreme conditions, constantly challenging the limits of people and weapons and equipment," said Li Guoqiang.

This mission ushered in the acceptance of the results in the form of a full brigade martial arts contest. At the command of the commander, Li Guoqiang drove the infantry chariot to the shooting area with full power. The target falls in response to several loud noises. At the end of the competition, the company became the "double champion" of organic company competition and bicycle shooting competition.

"We are witnesses and witnesses to the efforts of the 'Songgufeng Special Skill Company' to transform into digital and constantly liberate and develop new quality combat effectiveness." Looking at the scene of the officers and soldiers in the research room discussing the new methods of war, the brigade leader of the "Songgufeng Special Skill Company" told reporters that the "Songgufeng Heirs" in the new era will focus on their functions and missions, Innovate and explore the construction and application mode of new combat forces, continue to create a new quality growth pole of combat effectiveness, and strive to speed up the pace of building a strong military on a new journey.

On the training ground, the red flag of the "Songgu Peak Special Skill Company" was fluttering in the sunset, and the words in Who is the cutest person echoed again: "Their quality is so pure and noble, and their will is so tough and strong..."
