The galloping train went all the way north, getting closer and closer to Huludao, Liaoning Province... Not long ago, more than 20 officers and soldiers of the "Tashan strong brigade" of the 75th group army of the army went to Tashan revolutionary martyrs cemetery along the footprints of their predecessors to participate in the annual "revisiting Tashan Road" activity. They remembered the revolutionary martyrs and felt the spiritual baptism through time and space at the former site of Tashan Resistance War. The "Tashan strong brigade" of the 75th group army of the army takes carrying forward the Tashan spirit as a strong spiritual driving force for brigade construction, encouraging officers and soldiers to be powerful and forge ahead. The picture shows the scene of the brigade in actual combat training. Photo by Tang Zhoutao For decades, the spirit of Tashan has been passed on from generation to generation in the hands of officers and soldiers like an eternal torch. In the new era, the brigade has always regarded the promotion of Tashan spirit as a strong spiritual driving force for brigade construction, always maintained the fine tradition of "no offense" and the fighting style of "being good at fighting big, hard and evil wars", and encouraged officers and soldiers to be strong and forge ahead. one "I will never forget the comrades in arms who died in Tashan's Resistance War, and every inch of Tashan's land dyed red with blood. Tashan's Resistance War is so brilliant and cruel. I am a survivor. After I die, I must go back to Tashan and be with my comrades in arms who died." This is the last words of Wu Kehua, then commander of the fourth column of the Northeast Field Army. Tashan, no tower or mountain, was just a small village with only 100 families. Surrounded by small hills one after another, the highest is only tens of meters above sea level. On October 10, 1948, the officers and soldiers of the fourth column of the Northeast field army fought fiercely with the enemy on such a dangerous position with the help of temporary earthworks. Six days and six nights, our officers and soldiers killed and captured more than 9000 enemies at the cost of more than 3000 casualties, successfully blocked the repeated attacks of 11 enemy divisions, and firmly inserted the banner of victory in the position. Tashan is like a majestic mountain that the enemy can't cross and the artillery can't destroy. After the war, the 34th regiment of the 12th division of the 4th column, which stuck to the main position of Tashan, was awarded the honorary title of "Tashan hero regiment" by the leadership of the column. At the same time, 10 honorary companies and 6 honorary platoons emerged, and 12 people were awarded the "Mao Zedong Medal". On the battlefield full of blood and fire, the predecessors of Tashan created the winning gene of the brigade with the fearless spirit of sacrifice and the will to fight and win, and transformed it into the Tashan spirit handed down from generation to generation. Over the past 70 years, the "Tashan hero regiment" has changed its title four times. Generations of officers and soldiers have fought hard on the battlefield, cast their lives into medals of success, won honors with victory, and constantly cast the spiritual highland of "Tashan heirs". They have been awarded the collective second-class merit by the Central Military Commission, rated as "advanced flood fighting collective" by the Ministry of national defense and the former General Political Department, as "National May 4th Red Flag Youth League Committee" by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and as "advanced brigade and regiment level units for comprehensive construction" and "advanced brigade and regiment level units for military training" by their superiors for many years. On October 1, 2019, in the flag team celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of new China, the honorary flag of "Tashan hero regiment" was honored to be reviewed by the motherland and the people. Today, the flames of war in Tashan have dissipated, but the spirit of Tashan has been renewed for a long time. On the great journey of building a strong army, the Tashan spirit with the connotation of "taking the overall situation into account, strictly abiding by discipline, daring to sacrifice and daring to fight and win" carries the bloody responsibility of this heroic army, and provides an endless spiritual power for the army to cast its soul and educate people and for officers and soldiers to be determined to build a strong army. two How can the "descendants of Tashan" in the new era calibrate their "battle position" and how to better inherit Tashan spirit? In this regard, the Party committee of the brigade has always adhered to cultivating the courage of officers and soldiers to move forward, the tiger spirit to shoulder heavy burdens and the heroic spirit to sacrifice as an important part of the construction of combat culture, made great efforts to strengthen the mission of officers and soldiers to shoulder the red flag, take the lead and shoulder heavy burdens in the face of difficulties and challenges, and transformed the "soft power" of cultural construction into "hard Kung Fu" that can win wars. "Training is not afraid of hardship, tasks are not afraid of difficulty, and fighting is not afraid of death"... Entering the brigade camp, battle slogans with the theme of "thinking of war, planning for war and preparing for war" and battle cultural landscapes such as "war stone" and "winning the wall" can be seen everywhere, highlighting the real combat atmosphere. Last March, the brigade integrated the existing red resources and built the "Tashan inspirational Park" on the basis of the military history corridor. The names of 1832 martyrs were engraved on the heroic wall in the center of the "Tashan inspirational Park". The brigade regards it as a spiritual highland for officers and soldiers to understand the military mission. Whenever recruits enter the camp and veterans retire, they will organize an oath ceremony here. "I am a 'descendant of Tashan', adhering to the legacy of my ancestors and following the footsteps of Heroes..." the sonorous oath echoed in front of the wall of fame. The incoming recruits know that they have a new name, Tashan successor; Veterans who are about to leave will never forget that they always have an identity, a descendant of Tashan. In the early autumn of last year, a historical sitcom "soul of Tashan" with Tashan Resistance War as the main line entered each training point with the tour of the cultural service team of the brigade. There are not only the feats of our ancestors to stick to their positions, but also the figures of officers and soldiers fighting in the training ground in the new era. They are all youthful faces and the same loud bugles. The sitcom has brought us a "Reunion" across time and space. In recent years, the brigade has continued to dig into the red history of the brigade and strive to build a "Tashan" cultural brand. They have successively arranged a series of literary and artistic works, such as the musical and dance drama "praise from Tashan", "loyal soul" and the sketch "under the apple tree" and "catching Lingyun alive", to vividly show the heroic, tenacious and indomitable fighting spirit of our ancestors and the spirit of officers and soldiers in the new era listening to the party's command and loyal mission; Organize the party history knowledge competition of "Tashan spirit handed down from generation to generation" and the theme photography, calligraphy and painting exhibition of "Tashan soul and strong military road", so as to guide officers and soldiers to revisit the glorious history and remember their mission and responsibility in a popular form. three At the "Tashan star" advanced deeds report meeting held by the brigade at the end of last year, 10 officers and men representatives from different posts stepped on the stage to tell their strong army stories. Meng Yongzhou, the second rank sergeant who has just been rated as the "chief coach of military sports" in the professional elite competition of the army arms in the theater, made a resounding speech: "I have never forgotten the excitement when I saw the brigade slogan for the first time. The Tashan spirit is engraved in my heart and flows in my memory..." These officers and soldiers are not only the models around their comrades in arms, but also the representatives of the inheritance of Tashan spirit in the new era. In recent years, the brigade has continuously carried out the selection of "Tashan star", used the typical examples around to educate and inspire people, compiled and printed typical deeds into "Tashan example" and distributed them to grass-roots battalions and companies to guide the troops to carry out a series of activities of "learning from typical examples and seeing action". Yang Cuiping, a "woman's sharp blade", Chen Guiwang, a "strong warrior" and Li rongzhuang, a "good fighter", these new models have grown up under the cultivation of Tashan spirit and become fresh teaching materials to inspire officers and soldiers to be strong and brave and achieve good results. Their advanced deeds have also enriched and developed the connotation of Tashan spirit and made it bloom new brilliance. In September that year, a positional offensive and defensive exercise began. The 3rd Battalion of the brigade faced the attack of a heavy synthetic brigade of the "enemy". Circuitous encirclement, interspersed division, encirclement and support... The officers and soldiers of the whole battalion cooperated with each other, blocked the "enemy" in the front of the position with tenacious will and unity and cooperation, effectively guided the rear artillery and air firepower to counterattack the "enemy" and tenaciously held the position. "Only by cultivating the fighting spirit of officers and soldiers with fine traditions in peacetime can we dare to fight and win in wartime." Recalling the "battle" in which the weak won the strong, Zeng Cheng, the instructor of the battalion, was very moved. "We deeply feel that these young officers and soldiers who grew up under the cultivation of Tashan spirit have taken over the battle flag in the hands of the heroic predecessors and made an answer to the" inheritance "with practical actions." Last September, the "international military competition - 2021" and "tank biathlon" came to an end at the Russian arabino shooting range. In the thrilling competition, the cycling results of the brigade team broke the previous records of the Chinese team. At the end of the competition, the comrades in arms gathered excitedly and sang the Tashan war song: "we are the heroic Tashan Iron Army, and history records our heroes..." Heroes never go away, heroes always walk with us. In this fiery military camp, which always holds high the heroic battle flag, stubble of "Tashan heirs" are writing extraordinary youth chapters on the battle position. (outlook new era)
