Memoirs of the naval battle hero Zhang Yimin 18
1951, after I was selected from the 385th Regiment of the 129th Division of the 43rd Army to the Navy, I was sent to the Speedboat School in Qingdao. There are three places in the school that are most attractive to me: the speedboat wharf, the torpedo laboratory and the school library.
Library is my best place to go, so I opened the door and walked in and took a look. I really fell in love with this place. Faced with so many books, my desire for knowledge suddenly surged into my heart. Yes, after entering the speedboat school, I should go into the library to study hard. How many combat experiences and lessons are there to be learned here? All these lessons are in the book. This book is the most precious legacy left by predecessors. It must be absorbed, accepted, and strive for self-improvement. Reading is to transform yourself.
No. 8, Laiyang Road, Qingdao City, this is a very loud house number in Qingdao, and it is not impossible to say that everyone knows it. On the other hand, among the speedboat troops in the entire army, when it comes to No. 8 Laiyang Road, everyone knows that this is the alma mater of the speedboat soldiers.
A year ago, on August 24, 1950, the first batch of students from the Naval Speedboat School opened. This is the second issue. It is said that the students in the first phase were learning speedboats with Soviet teachers, and all the students were taught step by step by step by step by Soviet experts. This is both a training student and a training teacher. The teachers in the second phase are outstanding graduates who learn while teaching in the first phase. I want to say that this is a phenomenon with Chinese characteristics and it cannot be more practical. When we were studying, this group of teachers was really good, humble, pertinent, dedicated and in-depth. These good teachers have very good teachers. They are all college students selected by the People's Liberation Army. They have high cultural qualities and are young, so they are prone to get along with new students. When we graduated, we realized that we and the teacher were already good friends. Many people say goodbye in tears. To this day, I still love these good young teachers who were the same age as us!
Speed Boat School Phase II officially opened on September 3, 1951. The opening ceremony was both grand and simple. The head of the school spoke, and the students walked and arranged in a row.
Anyone who enters the school or is sent to further studies will have the same mood and experience, and will always leave a deep and unforgettable impression of the school. This time I entered the school, I also left behind many profound and unforgettable people and things, which made me passionate and happy about everyone and things.
I am most interested in it. In fact, it is also a question that many people in society who are concerned about naval construction are interested in. What kind of training and education do the speedboat school undergo to quickly train us to become qualified speedboat captains and become the commanders on the front line? In other words, what method does the speedboat school use to make our batch of land ducks become qualified water ducks in the shortest time. In fact, this problem is not difficult to understand and is not difficult to solve. These are all combatants selected from various field armies with high political awareness and high academic qualifications after the war test. Everyone's enthusiasm for learning and determination to fight are beyond imagination today. After a practical education with Chinese characteristics in the school, it was solved naturally. Here I will describe the fragments of our students' lives in detail and you will be able to understand them deeply.
First of all, a warship is a combat whole. Compared with the army, the biggest difference is that there are many professionalisms, detailed division of labor, many departments, and more combat positions on the ship. Different majors and positions are different, and each must take responsibility and perform its duties. The army only has guns, cannons, trumpets, and commanders. Although there are seven major technologies, it is much simpler after all. On the speedboat, the captain's specialty is torpedo, torpedo tactics, navigation, and ship control, and it also needs to manage the entire operation and command of the entire boat. The soldiers below also have their own specialties. For example: guns and artillery soldiers, they must learn guns and cannons. Torpedo soldiers must learn torpedo, torpedo tubes, and torpedo commanders. There are also communications soldiers, mechanics soldiers, etc. All the boats have 9 combat positions, including five departments and nine combat positions, and they all share the mission of replacing the combat positions when there are casualties. They all have to learn and be able to fight in practice.
In addition to these professional professions, we must also solve the functions that all boats have jointly undertaken. For example, after the boat is launched, it must be tied firmly, beautifully, and neatly, which will be solved in the boat art class. First of all, you need to know how to tie and what knots to tie. This knot should be beautiful and not messy, and can be untied quickly. There are more than a hundred styles of knots in class, and you have to learn and be able to operate them.
speedboat only has front and rear cables, and the front cables are handled by the former gunman and sailors. The front cable is thrown out by the sailor, and the front gunman is responsible for applying the cable. This division of labor is clearly responsibilities by the deployment statement, and cannot be changed but can be replaced by someone. Speedboats have various collective combat operations. Different collective actions were solved by Ship Art Course: there is a lightning installation layout table; there is a fuel refueling deployment table; there is a wharf deployment table. More than 20 deployment tables, including all operations of the speedboat. As long as the captain issues orders on the bridge, sounds the battle alarm or blows the whistle changes. Different personnel participate in different deployments. If there is an order, the subordinate will respond and execute the order immediately.
Captain only pulls the alarm to express it when the battle alarm is heard, and the rest is expressed in a whistlebrating voice. Because the boat is small, the whistle conveys the sound of the boat assisting the captain in completing the alarm task. When boarding a boat to prepare for war, the captain's whistle must be hung around his neck first. Don't underestimate this ordinary whistle, it is the captain's weapon to perform combat. As soon as the captain's whistle sounded, the entire boat immediately executed the order and immediately echoed after completing the task in a short time. Or it was reported: "2-1-1-2, preparation for the preparation for the flight (post-gunner); or "4-1-1-5, completing the leak-blocking mission (radio soldier)". The crew did not say their names on the boat, but only reported the number of combat positions. Friends, don’t underestimate this combat deployment table. Whether it is normal or in war, the entire boat can ensure that it acts consistently like a person. The key is this combat deployment table. I just entered Sanhai School and didn’t understand how the whole boat got in a consistent pace. When I was about to graduate, I learned the combat deployment table and realized the importance of this combat deployment table. All the regular training results of
are concentrated on this combat deployment table. The captain's whistle is a command, the sound of an alarm is a command, and even the captain's whistle is a command to move forward and backward. All actions and obeying commands in "H Three Disciplines and Eight Points" are reflected in the commands to execute the deployment table. The most important thing for the people's army to win a strong battle is that it is reflected in the resolute execution of orders.
From this we can see how important the collectivist spirit of this fighting collective or team spirit is. From this and that, a series of rules, regulations and training content are derived. For example, when eating, it is stipulated that you will walk into the canteen in groups. After the food is set up, the on-duty officer will order "start!" before you can have a meal. When I first came from the Army, I didn’t understand and felt that the management was too much and out of line. In fact, that is an important management content adopted for the collective development of warship combat. talks about regularization, which is actually a kind of development, a kind of habit, and a kind of rule. For regularization, soldiers are both constrained and the biggest beneficiary. I often wonder, if we do not have the strict requirements of the speedboat school and the rules that emphasize the development at all times, how can we become model soldiers? How can we adapt to the needs of victory on the modern battlefield?
This is not a true transformation. The real transformation is to master the ability to kill enemies, master a lot of professional knowledge, and master the operation and maintenance regulations for the correct use of weapon technology. The combat deployment table is just one of the ways to combine the 9 people in the boat into one piece to form the overall combat power. It is not all the battle, or even less than one-third of the overall combat power.
When I was in the army, the main force of the army was the infantry. If you can go well and fight, you are not afraid of sacrifice, even if you are a strong army. And at sea, everything has a huge difference, and the difference lies in the changes in the battlefield. To put it more carefully, it means that the land has turned into a liquid from the ocean. This is the big difference. When fighting on land, infantry originally relied on two legs and then on various vehicles. And the sea relies entirely on warships.If the army marchs or advances, you can walk with a compass or a map. If you make mistakes, take more detours. If you make a mistake at the sea, people will fall over, which is to run into the reef, strand, or collision. At the worst, there will be damage, and at the worst, the ship will be destroyed and people will be killed. It looks vast, but you can't run at will, you must follow the route. There are special navigation courses for maritime navigation. In addition to navigation courses, there are also auxiliary courses, such as learning ship control courses, meteorological courses, etc. If you learn well, you can walk on the sea, and this is the only thing you have ever seen. Of course, as a captain, the main course also includes torpedoes, torpedo tactics, etc. In my experience, most of the people who have studied through the captain's class are considered experts or basic experts. However, many battalions and above cadres at that time were eventually eliminated because they did not undergo systematic study at the Navy Academy and did not undergo formal examinations. At that time, the high proportion of elimination among battalions and gang cadres can be described as "amazing", which is by no means an exaggeration. Fighting at sea, neither the enemy nor us can defend, and there is no terrain to use. When fighting at sea, you must not only understand torpedo attack tactics, but also be able to fully use them under various circumstances to achieve integration before you can be called a complete transformation. This requires time and experience accumulation, and experience depends on long-term training. Therefore, it is not easy to freeze three feet a day, and it is never easy to achieve success.
Reborn, you have to be reborn in many aspects. Taking the management and use of torpedo boat as an example, it is a big question. There are 9 people in the boat, and the captain is the core of the management and use of a boat. Captains must learn to use and manage combat in every part of the boat. The captain of himself has a very special identity: he is both the commander of the entire boat and a veritable independent combatant. He is responsible for sailing while speedboat sailing. He is both a helmman and a captain. The speedboat was operated by the captain, and the navigation plan was formulated in advance. He did the navigation plan, and he implemented it himself. In the end, he discovered the enemy, and the torpedo attack was borne by the captain alone.
When smoke screen is required, the switch of the smoke screen is cast and the captain will turn it. The important task of finding the enemy situation on the boat was that although the cabin personnel had division of labor, the main force still relied on the captain to observe. A good captain must be a good all-rounder. According to the Soviet Navy regulations, the torpedo captain belongs to the fourth-level captain. is purely a small one among combat ships and is just a company. But his technical requirements are beyond the reach of the Army Battalion cadres. The double identity of the torpedo captain shows a fact that it is the most difficult for the captain to be a captain in the dry torpedo boat. Therefore, in order to win the naval battle, the captain's transformation is also the most critical.
