A strong country must have a strong military, and a strong military can ensure national security.
President Xi Jinping pointed out, "Realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation is the greatest dream of the Chinese nation in modern times. It can be said that this dream is the dream of building a strong country, and for the military, it is also the dream of building a strong military
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China 75 years ago, the heroic People's Army has kept pace with the development of the Party and the people's cause, grown in battles, innovated in inheritance, developed in construction, and continuously improved its level of revolutionization, modernization, and regularization.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping as the core, the People's Liberation Army has achieved a comprehensive revolutionary reshaping, reorganized its equipment and started anew, and made historic achievements and changes in national defense and military construction.
The foundation for achieving the goal of building a strong military lies at the grassroots level, and the vitality also lies at the grassroots level. To promote the cause of building a strong military, there is great potential at the grassroots level. Through the vivid practice of building and developing one unit after another, we can feel the renewed style of the People's Army and hear the resounding voice of all officers and soldiers of the army moving forward courageously towards achieving the centenary goal of building the army!
The ideological foundation of listening to the Party and following the Party is becoming stronger and stronger
President Xi Jinping emphasized, "On the road ahead, the people's army must firmly adhere to the Party's absolute leadership over the army, regard this as the soul of the army that can never be changed and the lifeblood that can never be lost. At any time and under any circumstances, we must take the Party flag as the banner, the direction of the Party as the direction, and the will of the Party as the will
The officers and soldiers of the 'Red Company' have changed one after another, but their honors continue to be repeated. What is the secret? "Said the leader of the Red Company of a certain brigade in the 83rd Group Army of the Army." The answer is engraved in the political gene of the company's iron core to the Party
In September 1927, during the "Sanwan Reorganization", the "Red Company" established a party branch, pioneering the practice of "branch building on the company" in our army. The establishment of branches at the company level ensures that the Party's absolute leadership over the people's army takes root at the grassroots level.
After years of accumulation, listening to the Party and following the Party has deeply integrated into the blood of officers and soldiers, becoming the brightest color of the "Red Company".
The branch is like an iron fist, and party members are like sharp knives. "The main combat equipment of the company has been completely changed, and the party branch has put forward the battle slogan" Control the new equipment, and the branch committee should be the vanguard ". They practice skills during the day and conduct simulations at night, winning all the course titles throughout the entire tour. In the 'Red Company', the 'first class members' of the party branch and the backbone of party members always play a role as benchmarks and flags. Each party member has a training level certificate and is proficient in the use of allied weapons.
 
The baton of history has passed to our generation, and we will definitely integrate the political genes of listening to the Party and following the Party into our bones, constantly continuing to write the glory of heroes! "Said Liu Wentao, the political instructor of the" Red Company ".
The military soul never changes, and the military flag always faces the party.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the fundamental principle and system of the Party's absolute leadership over the military have been upheld and improved through inheritance.  
The light of faith illuminates the journey of building a strong army. The People's Army strives to become a strong military under the banner of the Party, with a more firm ideological guidance and a more uplifting spiritual outlook.
Vigorously develop new types of combat forces and means
President Xi emphasized, "We must vigorously develop new types of combat forces and means, grasp the characteristics and laws of building new quality combat capabilities, and promote the accelerated formation of practical combat capabilities with new equipment and new forces
In early autumn, in a certain sea area of the South China Sea, the Shandong Navy ship unsheathed its sharp blade, cutting open the endless sea surface and chopping waves forward. The aircraft carrier formation is conducting formation coordination and command training.
Looking at the vast sea, the warships on the sea are majestic, and the fighter jets in the air are roaring. The exercise alarm sounded, and multiple fighter jets urgently took off from the Shandong ship one after another. The formation's subordinate ships quickly maneuvered and changed their combat formation, and each unit worked closely and tacitly together to hone their practical skills in the open sea and ocean.
Pilot Tan Zhiyong finely manipulated and continuously adjusted the attitude of the fighter jet, gradually approaching the aircraft carrier. With a loud bang, the fighter jet successfully attached the second arresting cable to its tail hook and landed precisely on the carrier deck.
The high integration of "ship, aircraft, and personnel" is an important symbol of the formation of a systematic combat capability for aircraft carrier formations. Commander Luo Shengke said, "Through training, pilots have a more stable mentality, stronger spatial situational awareness, and a higher degree of cooperation with us
Setting sail means setting out for battle. The leader of the Shandong warship stated, "As the commander of the first domestically produced aircraft carrier independently designed, equipped, and built in China, we must update our ideological concepts, boldly innovate and explore new models of combat force construction and utilization, and fully liberate and develop new quality combat capabilities
A giant ship carrying dreams, shining swords in deep blue.
On September 25, 2012, China's first aircraft carrier Liaoning was delivered to the Navy; On December 17, 2019, the first domestically produced aircraft carrier Shandong was handed over and put into service; On June 17, 2022, China's first electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier, Fujian, was launched; In April 2024, the mooring test of the Fujian ship was successfully advanced, and the People's Navy was always ready to advance towards Deep Blue... One milestone after another in the history of transformation and development of the People's Navy.
This is an increase in quantity, but also a qualitative upgrade. Since the beginning of the new era, domestic aircraft carriers, new fighter jets, new submarines, and new missiles have been put into service... The People's Army has been closely monitoring the changes in technology, warfare, and opponents, and its achievements have been constantly refreshed.
With the new system, new equipment, and new tactics, the people's army is more confident in winning battles.
Develop strong skills to fight and win battles
President Xi Jinping emphasized, "We must grasp the key to building a strong military by being able to fight and win battles. We must strengthen the idea of officers and soldiers joining the army, leading troops, and training troops to fight, firmly establish combat effectiveness as the only fundamental standard, and carry out construction and preparation according to the requirements of war to ensure that the troops are ready to fight, able to fight, and victorious in battle
Dare to fight and win, dare to be the first, dare to take responsibility! "Standing next to the main road of the" Wanghai Brigade "camp of a certain Air Force Aviation Brigade, there is a huge stone engraved with 12 bold characters.
Yang Juncheng, a member of the "Wanghai Brigade", said that the character "dare" symbolizes the spiritual traits of the officers and soldiers of the brigade to be upright and innovative.
Setting a precedent for carrying out combat missions under extreme weather conditions, exploring the formation of standardized flight training outlines, and paving the way for reforming the training mode of aviation units... Looking back at the development history of the "Wanghai Brigade", every modification is filled with the word "dare".
Not long ago, in the northwest desert, a signal flare flew through the air, and the "Wanghai Brigade" began its flight training.
Take off! "With the command of the tower commander, several fighter jets slid out and took off one after another. Pilot Hu Xin steadily controlled the aircraft, successfully evaded the "enemy" radar search, quickly approached the target area, and completed the strike in one go.
Yang Juncheng said that in this flight training, facing complex electromagnetic environments and realistic target aircraft targets, we paid more attention to system integration. While accurately attacking targets, we explored and formed multiple sets of tactical tactics, constantly honing our strong abilities to fight and win battles.
As one of the first combat units of the Air Force to retrofit J-20 fighter jets, the "Wanghai Brigade" shoulders the significant responsibility of pioneering and maintaining a fighting and enterprising attitude at all times. In 2016, the squadron pilots escorted our bomber successfully forward; In 2022, the squadron pilots set a new record by piloting the J-20 fighter jet with the support of refueling aircraft... The "Wanghai Squadron" in the new era bravely shoulders its mission, is strong and capable, and has flown a series of brand new combat trajectories.
This is a microcosm of the new era where all military officers and soldiers focus on training and preparing for war, and honing their ability to win.
The People's Army will always be a combat team, and its vitality lies in its combat effectiveness. The army vigorously carries out high-altitude and island based training exercises, the navy continues to strengthen practical exercises for naval assault, anti submarine, amphibious and other combat operations, the air force boldly innovates free air combat training, and the rocket force continuously deepens the training of missile units to be able to fight at any time... The strengthening of military training and preparation at all levels of the whole army has a clear orientation, constantly honing the strong skills of being able to fight and win battles, and forging an elite force that is ready to call, able to fight and win battles.
The blueprint has been drawn, and it is time to move forward. The People's Army is marching forward along the path of building a strong military with Chinese characteristics and striving to become a world-class military!
