In the Hero City Nanchang, it has been raining for days, but the shouts are loud at the extreme training ground of the Army Infantry Academy.
On May 21, 2019, President Xi visited the college to inspect and showed his deep concern for the training of the students, which made the teachers and students of the college feel honored.
From that moment on, this place became the starting point for teachers and students of the college to teach and train soldiers. For more than two years, they have shouldered the sacred mission of educating people for war, planned the construction of war disciplines, explored war-led research topics, and achieved breakthroughs again and again.
Today, the training ground has been expanded. Water docks, simulated beaches and other elements are all available, which not only meets the needs of traditional swimming and submersible crossing training, but can also conduct amphibious combat drills of synthetic infantry teams. This has become a "test field" for teachers and students of the college to focus on the requirements of the Army's transformation and construction and to cultivate talents for the future battlefield.
Graduate student Sun Hongbiao has special feelings for this extreme training ground.
"How much does the tire weigh?" "Report to the Chairman, 300 pounds!"
Sun Hongbiao was very excited when he recalled the warm scene of the conversation with Chairman Xi. He could not forget the oath he made at that moment: he must turn the commander's love into the motivation to train his troops and constantly surpass himself.

That winter, Lu Zhidian put on heavy combat equipment and plunged into the cold training waters. Experience all the new courses such as "water combat, water explosive disposal, boating training, and water combat" that are about to be tried out.
Winter is the season that forges people. Lu Zhidian has only one idea: to get the training data as soon as possible to provide scientific basis for teaching.
"To repay the commander-in-chief's care, we must turn our enthusiasm into a sense of urgency, work hard in the teaching and research position, and race against time to make breakthroughs!" he said.
For more than two years, Lu Zhidian has led teachers in the teaching and research department to race against time, conduct in-depth analysis of modern infantry combat concepts and the Army's all-domain combat system, expand training content such as 3,000-meter armed combinations and 5,000-meter combat skill combinations, and transform air, water, and Mountain and other types of practical training venues and extreme psychological training cabins. Nowadays, more and more instructors and students in the Army Infantry Academy are constantly challenging the limits and thinking about war...
This is a student's transformation posture - student Ling Zaiheng has formulated an annual extreme training plan for himself, requiring all military skills to reach "Excellent +". He said that to meet new challenges, one must first develop an "iron body."
This is the transformation tenacity of a teacher - Pei Jiafa, director of the tactics teaching and research section of a new combat force, returned to the field comprehensive training field on the third day after the operation, and completed many practical operations such as the command skills of the synthetic infantry unit officer and the offensive and defensive combat of the synthetic battalion. Project argument.
This is the transformation determination of a team - from the beach to the Gobi Desert, from the dense forest wilderness to the extremely cold plateau... The party committee of the academy, together with experts from the military, has successively led multiple batches of instructors to three army groups and nearly 20 combined units of the Army. After conducting research, we came to the front line to connect combat and construction needs, and accurately promoted the optimization and upgrading of the "education for war" teaching model.
...
Stories of hard work and firm vows converge into a collective firm will, releasing powerful momentum to accelerate transformation.
"How can Chinese Army infantry win in the future battlefield?" The party committee and all teachers and students of the college further unified their thinking: to provide education that will lead future military changes.

It has signed teacher sharing agreements with 4 high-quality universities; it has established 13 "Army Combined and Infantry Combat" and other The innovation team has explored and formed more than 100 results of new infantry combat research systems such as light high mobility and air assault...
"For more than two years, we have kept in mind the commander's instructions, planned a reform blueprint, practiced it in the battlefield, and constantly Achieve new breakthroughs." Talking about the achievements of transformation, the leaders of the academy are familiar with it. "Research on the use of red resources in military colleges to cultivate qualified Red Army successors" was approved by the National Social Science Fund for the research of ideological and political courses in colleges and universities; "The People's Army Will Never Forget" Courses such as "Red Blood" were rated as high-quality demonstration courses by the Army; in October 2019, the Army's infantry combat and political work were listed as key disciplines for the entire army.

In the new era of striding forward, the teachers and students of the whole school are highly motivated. In accordance with the requirement of "teaching whatever is needed for fighting and practicing whatever the troops need", they continue to work hard in their respective combat positions and strive to be a surging wave in the wave of reconstructing the practical teaching system.
trainee Xing Yagang comes from a certain combined force of the Army. He has participated in joint confrontation exercises between the services and arms many times and witnessed many wonderful moments in the transformation and development of the Army infantry. Last year, he caught up with the policy that "soldiers enrolled in 'double first-class' universities can attend military academies without taking exams." When choosing a school, he did not hesitate to apply for the Army Infantry Academy.
"Following the pace of military training, I experienced the astonishing speed of Army infantry's 'flying' and experienced the comprehensive upgrade of 'three-dimensional synthesis'. Here, I felt the transformation of the new type of infantry." Xing Yagang said, " Only by working hard to hone the ability to fight and win can we live up to the commander-in-chief's instructions and shoulder the important tasks of the times!"
Short Comments
Set up a clear orientation for war education
Talent is the core competitiveness of modern warfare. Throughout the history of world wars, a powerful army is often filled with talented people.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, President Xi has attached the greatest importance and thought to military training and preparation for war. How to conduct teaching around actual combat and educate talents with an eye on winning is an issue of the times facing military academies, and it is also an eternal mission for the development of military academies.
The Army Infantry Academy keeps in mind the commander-in-chief's instructions, faces the battlefield, the troops, and the future, and has established a clear direction of educating people for war. It formulates education plans aimed at the needs of the army's transformation and construction, and organizes teaching around the needs of the army's ability to win, so that students can learn from it. The school heads directly to the battlefield. Practice has shown that only by focusing on the training needed for fighting and keeping an eye on the training needed by the troops can we achieve precise connection between the supply side of talent training and the demand side of future battlefields.
