On September 27, 2018, it was the golden autumn season, and the land in Liaoshen was clear and full of life. The afternoon sun shines on the dark green fuselage of the helicopter, coating the matte paint with a light golden color. In the modern cockpit of the
advanced fighter jet, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, was wearing a military green Chinese tunic suit . He was sitting in the driver's seat, tilting his head slightly and listening carefully to the explanation of the pilot beside him.
This is a scene during President Xi Jinping’s inspection of the Army’s 79th Group Army. Every time he goes to the troops for inspection, President Xi Jinping always conducts in-depth training on the front lines. He climbs the turret, enters the cabin, climbs the gangway, goes to the deck... The figure of the commander-in-chief of the entire army is left behind in the key battle positions of many of the army's main battle weapons.
"President Xi asked very carefully." Recalling the scene that day, the pilot in the photo, deputy brigade commander of an aviation brigade of the Army's 79th Group Army and then brigade chief of staff, said Yin Xiangming.
At the beginning, he was still a little nervous. But "the chairman is very kind and kind, and makes you relax very quickly." After a few words, Yin Xiangming "quickly entered the state." He assisted the chairman in putting on his helmet and controlling the onboard weapons and sighting system.
"Chairman, turn on the power. The helmet goggles screen will display various data such as flight parameters and weapon parameters..."
"Chairman, the aircraft cannon and the sight will rotate with the rotation of your head... ..."
President Xi Jinping took control when prompted and said with a smile: "I have seen it."
The exchange is still going on - What is the technical and tactical performance of the armed helicopter ? Is it easy to use in actual operation? Are there any areas for improvement? ...
Yin Xiangming had made sufficient preparations for this report in advance. "But I really didn't expect that the chairman would ask such detailed questions and be so concerned," he said.
How long does it take to train a pilot? How long does it take to perform a similar training flight? Do you feel tired easily in the cockpit? ...
The more Yin Xiang Ming answered, the warmer he felt in his heart: "The Chairman not only cares about the performance of the equipment, but also cares about the physical and mental feelings of the pilots. He is heart-to-heart with our frontline officers and soldiers."
Afterwards, President Xi Jinping stepped onto the airport tower, Observe military operation drills on the spot. For a moment, war eagles roared, iron wings whirled, and special forces members descended from the sky and moved quickly. President Xi Jinping picked up the telescope to watch carefully from time to time, and praised the excellent quality displayed by the troops. At the end of the training, the unit commander drove the armed helicopter and swung its nose toward the tower to pay tribute to President Xi Jinping in a unique way.
After the event, comrades and colleagues gathered around and asked about the content of the exchange between Yin Xiangming and President Xi Jinping.
"Aren't these the issues that our pilots are most concerned about!" Everyone sighed, "The chairman asked us deeply!"
The issues that frontline commanders and combatants are most concerned about during training and actual combat are also the issues that the Chairman of the Military Commission is most concerned about. of concern. This is the most direct encouragement and motivation to the officers and soldiers.

The development of military equipment has always been a deep concern of President Xi Jinping. He earnestly urged, "We must enhance our mission awareness, seize opportunities, muster all our energy, and make equipment construction better and faster."
Some people use "blowout" to describe the huge development of China's military equipment construction in recent years. Achievement. Yin Xiangming feels that his generation of soldiers "has caught up with the best of times."
"It is a great luck and honor for pilots to encounter an advanced piece of equipment in their flying career." He said, "The new equipment is in our hands. All we have to do is to keep it in our hands." To exert maximum combat effectiveness.”
In his opinion, this is the best response to President Xi Jinping’s concerns.
