Hou Guoling, leader of unit 40 of 66011 force - Hot blooded war quenching blade ■ PLA Daily reporter Han Cheng and correspondent Li Hongyu Hou Guoling organized and carried out anti-terrorism emergency drills to temper the cooperative combat ability of special combat units. Yan Xingxing At the eastern foot of Taihang, there is smoke everywhere. Recently, an actual combat drill of 66011 troops is being carried out intensively. A major officer commanded the special combat team to sneak in the jungle, and the sniper quickly occupied a favorable position. "Pa!" The gun rang and the target fell, and the sniper mission was successfully completed. This major is Hou Guoling, the leader of the 40th unit of the Department. This is a scene that often happens when he leads the officers and soldiers to explore and study the methods of war. After 18 years in the army, he grew from a soldier to the captain of the special combat unit. Hou led the war and left a shining military mark. The most unforgettable thing for him is his first expedition for his country. That year, China was invited to participate in the international special forces competition for the first time, and Hou Guoling set out on behalf of China. The first event "parachuting behind the enemy" was launched on a rainy day. The organizers temporarily adjusted the original 400m skydiving height to 350m. Ultra low altitude parachuting is a world recognized high-risk subject. Coupled with complex weather, it is even more dangerous. "Jump or not?" In the face of the referee's inquiry, some national players chose to give up. "Going abroad represents Chinese soldiers. We must jump!" In the storm, Hou Guoling jumped out of the cabin door, and his teammates followed up and landed in the designated area one after another. They won the gold medal in the event. From the international arena to the domestic training, Hou Guo took the lead and participated in 36 martial arts competitions and 5 international competitions organized by his superiors. He grew up in hot-blooded pursuit of dreams, charged to the limit again and again, and honed his winning skills. In the international arena, he has won 23 medals, including 14 gold medals, breaking a number of military training records. "When you are a soldier, you should be a sharp blade." Years of international competitions have made Hou Guoling pursue the perfection of military training. At the beginning of 2020, shortly after taking office in the Department, Hou Guoling noticed that there was a pull drill organized by the superior, and a professional backbone of a special combat team was on vacation, but his position was not replaced. "There can be no disconnection in the chain of combat effectiveness." Hou Guoling focused on the problem, led the officers and men to rectify and reform at the first time, and worked out a set of schemes of "one main and one standby, one-to-one correspondence, one shortage and one supplement, and internal rotation", so as to ensure that the troops operate according to their ranks and move at any time. "We should not only take the first place, but also bring out an excellent team." Hou Guoling set a new goal for himself. For many years, he deeply understood that the rapid improvement of combat effectiveness through innovative training methods is an important starting point for the transformation. Combined with years of training experience, he led the team to explore "situational" and "heuristic" training methods, which improved the quality and efficiency of training. Last year, the Hou tie team was preparing for a special war contest. Individual officers and soldiers encountered a bottleneck in the course of traction crossing, and their achievements stagnated. He carried out intensive training by increasing the load and setting up dangerous and difficult obstacles. Finally, the unit took the shortest time to cross the subject, and four special combat teams were rated as "honorary teams". As the chief coach and expert of the shooting course of the Department, not long ago, he explored and summarized the shooting formula while organizing the training of newly allocated rifles, trained a number of shooting instructors, and shortened the generation cycle of combat effectiveness of new equipment. From the hinterland of the Central Plains to the northern desert, from the forest sea and snow plain to the beach. In recent years, keeping up with the pace of military training and war preparation, Hou has had more systematic thinking. In the past, parachute training was mostly implemented separately. In order to explore the transformation of the actual combat application of the course, Hou Guoling took the initiative to take on the important task, led the officers and soldiers of the unit to remotely maneuver to a certain place in the Central Plains, combined with a certain air force unit to complete the multi-channel parachute training of fixed wing aircraft, continuously organized parachute landing, battlefield rescue, key point capture and control, guided attack and other courses, and explored the innovative parachute penetration tactics to be popularized and used in the army. After taking the lead, Hou Guo was awarded the first-class merit twice, the second-class merit twice and the third-class merit six times. He was rated as a model of loving the army, an excellent reconnaissance commander of the army, an expert in national youth posts, a model of the first "Four Haves" new era of the army and an individual of the whole army's war preparation. His unit was commended as an advanced unit of the "four Railways" by the group army. Hou Changling, second Sergeant chief of unit 71, 96712—— The charge horn never stops ■ special reporter of PLA Daily Li Bingfeng and correspondent Wang Cheng Hou Changling patiently explained the working principle of equipment components. Photo by song Yanjian At night, deep mountains and dense forests are hidden positions. "Bugler in place!" With the loud command, a group of missile trumpeters moved at the command and rushed to the battle position Hou Changling, the second level sergeant of 71 unit of 96712 army, led the completion of the night fire assault drill. During the drill, special situations such as equipment failure, communication interruption and casualties occurred one after another. He was calm in the face of danger, and the horn commander responded skillfully. This scene is familiar to him—— After 20 years in the army, the launcher is the place where Hou Changling dreams of flying. For countless days and nights, he assiduously studied missile knowledge and improved weapon operation skills. He was the first soldier of the Ministry to undertake the task of technical control, and successfully completed more than 10 major training tasks. This scene is a new beginning every time—— The launcher is the starting point for the soldier to move towards a new target. In recent years, facing the new situation and tasks, Hou Changling, who was listed in the "craftsman type" and "expert type" Sergeant phalanx, self pressurized and set up problems, constantly studied new tactics, compiled more than 300000 words of teaching materials, won gold and silver in the assessment and competition for 35 times, was commended as the "top ten sword sharpening soldiers", and fulfilled the youth oath of "making soldiers shine" with shining military merit medals. In the eyes of company commander Zhang Tianming, Hou Changling is a "sharp knife". A missile launch drill entered the countdown, the special situation of the superior guidance and dispatching suddenly came, the equipment fault light was on, and the launch process was interrupted. Hou Changling, who served as the commander, quickly searched for the location and quickly ruled out the special situation. A few minutes later, the great power sword "ignited" on time. In order to practice the unique skills of "one clear mouth", "one accurate sight" and "one hand spirit", Hou Changling put forward higher requirements for himself when he was a trumpeter. In addition to being competent in his major, he also mastered the operation of all other positions and took the lead in becoming the all-round trumpeter of the unit. He took every preparation of the plan as a practical deduction, and every number control as a battlefield launch, and successfully completed one task after another. Staff sergeant Li Yuanlin regarded squad leader Hou Changling as a visible and learnable example. That year, the military equipment was changed. In order to control the new weapons as soon as possible, Hou Changling riveted in the operation hall and professional learning room as soon as he was free, worked overtime to "run the circuit" and "run the oil road", and finally won the first professional place in the confrontation competition organized by the superior organization. In recent years, Hou Changling has summarized and sorted out hundreds of difficult problems such as launch operation and fault location. He is responsible for the technical control of the launch specialty and ensures the daily training and launch drills of the army for thousands of times. He is known as the "escort" of the take-off of the divine sword. He has also brought out more than 200 professional and technical backbones to become the backbone of the army's preparations for war. "The longer he became a soldier, the longer he was, but his passion for struggle did not diminish." Cheng Liangping, commander of the unit, said, "with him, everyone has a better heart." In this year's practical operation training stage, the unit undertakes a number of tasks. Hou Changling volunteered to be responsible for the training of the launch unit. He was both a commander and a coach. He led the officers and men in strict training and steadily improved the comprehensive ability of the launcher by combining unification with division and from point to area, and achieved excellent results in the actual installation operation assessment organized by the superior organization. A squadron of the second mobile corps of the armed police—— The red flag is handed down from generation to generation ■ Qian Runze, special reporter of PLA Daily, Tu dunfa Squadron special combat team members conduct tactical training. Photo by Zhang Zhenrong "The flames of war are burning in the middle of Hebei, fighting against Japan and saving the country, fighting jackals, Niangniang palace, lubaishan, and young people's company shaking the enemy's courage..." in the dense forests of Northern Zhejiang, the fierce battle between red and blue has just ended, the battle song sounded in the front of the trench, and a squadron of the second mobile corps of the armed police carried out a team joining ceremony. After "devil week" extreme training and multi round confrontation selection, Yan Weiwen, the "Post-00" reserve special warfare team member, came to the fore. Facing the "victorious" flag and wearing a brand-new team emblem, Yan Weiwen swore: "I am the 6676th successor of victorious, solemn commitment..." "In the battle of Jiaxian County in 1948, squad leader Zhou Heizi led the foreman with 8 people. With the cooperation of brother classes and platoons, he flexibly used tactics to capture more than 250 enemy major general commanders and major general commissioners. The baton of history passed to us. We have only the obligation to add luster to the war flag and have no right to discredit..." after the team joining ceremony, squadron instructor Miao bin told heroic deeds in combination with random education, encouraging new members to climb the peak forever Continue the glory. The predecessor of the squadron was born in 1937 and participated in more than 100 battles during the revolutionary war. It was awarded the title of "Ever Victorious" by the Northwest Field Army in 1949 and the title of "Ever Victorious company" in 1951. The red flag has long been a family heirloom of "the successor of victorious battles". The winning spirit of "refining into steel, winning victorious battles, fearing strong players and vowing to be the first" is deeply branded in the minds of officers and soldiers. In 2018, the squadron was transformed into a special combat squadron through reform. At that time, except for two team leaders who graduated from special operations, other officers and soldiers were born in the mobile force. "Even if there are great difficulties, we must fight a way." Jin Huanglei, the first instructor after the reform, was a cadre who grew up in the squadron. He clearly remembered that whenever he encountered a "roadblock", the Party branch would consult the "family heirloom" - more than 100 minutes of the Party branch meeting preserved since 1964. This experience is recorded in the minutes of the meeting: in 1964, the army launched a new training course - swimming training. Under the condition that most officers and soldiers are zero based, the squadron carries forward military democracy and carries out "one gang one" and "one pair of red" activities in accordance with the principle of "step by step, teaching students according to their aptitude and overall improvement". With the joint efforts of all officers and soldiers, the squadron was highly praised by the superior during the examination and acceptance. After studying, the Party branch decided to learn from the past successful experience. They give full play to the dominant position and initiative of officers and soldiers, and self-made tools to improve the quality and efficiency of training; 2 team leaders graduated from special warfare
