I just flipped through the photos and saw a camouflage photo in military uniform, carrying a pistol, and one side was camping tent . Lima remembered that this was a photo of Shuai Ke when he participated in the largest live-fire exercise ever conducted by the 24th Army in October 1994. So, scenes of participating in the exercise were reflected in my mind like a movie. Of course, the embarrassing and fun things encountered during the performance are indispensable.
The biggest embarrassing thing: If you encounter this kind of situation in a war, it is really hard to say! The largest live-fire exercise in history by the Army was a coordinated mobile maneuver war exercise with more than 15,000 live-fire soldiers, code-named "Dual Color Operation". The exercise is located in the Qin (Huangdao) area of Tang (Shan) and mainly practices six topics: battle planning, anti-enemy air strikes, combat maneuver, anti-enemy airborne, maneuver defense and combat counterattack.
My biggest embarrassment occurred during the third subject campaign during the drill. As a reconnaissance staff officer, I was incorporated into the front line to mainly ensure the operation of a military leader. At that time, we were asked to fly from Pingquan Airport to Tangshan by air transport to ensure rapid maneuvering. At that time, in addition to the head and some of the agency personnel, there were also several scouts, plus a 213 reconnaissance vehicle (the scouts called it the "big ass car").
result After getting off the transport plane at Tangshan Airport, the "big ass car" I took with me and the leader and several scouts "break down" before they drove far. You can't delay the opening of the pre-determined area for a moment. At this time, the people on the side also stopped to watch. At that time, I felt that this "embarrassment" had come out of the sky, so anxious that I was about to jump out. what to do?
so-called quick-witness. I immediately decided to stop a local taxi and leave with the chief, and the scouts continued to repair the car except one of us. The leader agreed without saying a word. In the end, we were still in place on time.
, which is almost actual combat, encountered such a big embarrassing thing, and now I think it's a bit scared. What if it is a real war? Fortunately, our current weapons and equipment have made a geometric leap compared to 20 or 30 years ago. I believe that the embarrassing things I encountered back then will not happen again today.
The biggest joy: If you eat fish so exaggeratedly every day, you will be the most delicious!
For soldiers, exercises are a joy in themselves. The entire "Dual Color Action" exercise lasted for 11 days, with many fun and interesting things. Here is a matter of food guarantee under outdoor conditions during the exercise.
In theory, food guarantee under outdoor conditions is not easy to do. But Director Liu of our management office is a master in field support. Under field conditions, we actually achieved the absolutely real ", four dishes, one soup, " or even "six dishes, two soups". But the food is not only "very strong" but also a little "too powerful". Just eating fish will definitely give you a "super" food.
Because the exercise is located along the coast of Tangshan and Qinhuangdao . Our 24th Army has always been doing well in support and joint construction. Therefore, whenever you arrive at a place, when the local government and the people are sending condolences, piles of fresh fish are always brought. During the outdoor mobile exercise, so many fish were neither convenient to store nor take away, so they simply ate them all.
I remember one day at noon, the cook , who was making food, said to me: "You fight and reconnaissance staff are the hardest to do. Eat more, and give you one more fish!" You must know that a fish weighs two or three pounds. I will give me two at once. How can I eat it?
Another twenty or thirty years have passed since then. No matter how much I eat fish, I am not as fierce, beautiful and so strong as I did during the "Two Color Action" exercise back then!
The biggest fear is: If you are camping alone at night, you really dare not!
The whole field exercise was in the wild. Under the high attention and guidance of Commander Su, our army could be said to be at the forefront of the entire army at that time.
However, this kind of outdoor camping is a bit amazing to me that the command was actually opened next to the grave.The tent in our reconnaissance office even opened the curtain one or two meters away, and there were two connected graves.
The day is still good. The army is stationed here, and even monsters have to retreat. But at night, especially in the middle of the night, I was still a little scared. There was no choice but to bite the bullet and lift the curtain. After taking two or three steps, he quickly unopened his eyes and quickly pulled back.
Fortunately, there were 5 people living in the tent of our reconnaissance office at that time. I was thinking, would I dare if I lived alone in such an environment at night? To be honest, I'm really afraid! What I didn't expect from
: If the opportunity is for those who are prepared, then this exercise will definitely be considered as a matter of me! The
11-day exercise was over, and it was supposed to return to normal and calm, and we will make a summary and comment. As an internal staff officer, I also drafted an exercise report as before, and reported to the Military Region Command after being issued by Chief Li, Chief Su, and Political Commissar Xu.
What I didn't expect happened: the report I wrote was reported to a department of the General Staff by the Military Region. A certain department of the General Staff forwarded this report to the relevant business departments of the entire army as an experience and notes. I usually like to write articles and materials, but I didn’t expect the news to be so big. Perhaps it is true: Opportunities are for those who are prepared. What I didn't expect was that after more than a month of exercise, I was awarded the first prize of advanced individual training in the entire military region by the Beijing Military Region Command.
What I didn’t expect in the end was: less than a month later, when the Military Command summarized the year-end, considering my work performance, especially the first prize of advanced individuals in the military region training, the report materials he wrote were forwarded by the headquarters, and specially made me a third-class . This is also the first achievement in my military career.
Through an exercise, embarrassing, happy, and unexpected events were superimposed and gathered. Shuai Ke is not "Versailles", but he sees photos and thinks about the past, recalls his unforgettable military career, and encourages his old comrades of the former 24th Army, especially those who have participated in the "Dual Color Exercise"!
