A brigade of the 74th group army organized officers and soldiers to tell the story behind the photos and deepen the theme education—— Feel the pulse of a strong army and inspire the fighting spirit to win ■ PLA Daily reporter Chen Dianhong correspondent Zheng Ye Huang Tao In Lingnan in spring, the theme education classroom of a brigade of the 74th group army was full. Combined with the unforgettable experience of being reviewed by President Xi twice, Sergeant Huang Chao shared a group of exciting military parade photos with his comrades in arms, which aroused strong resonance. The first photo records the vivid scene of the military parade commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese people's war of resistance against Japan and the world anti fascist war on September 3, 2015. "I was lucky to be a member of the 'South China guerrillas' model unit. I walked majestically through Tiananmen Square with the unit and was honored to be reviewed by President Xi. At that moment, my blood was boiling!" The classic moment is fixed in the photo and forever engraved in Huang Chao's mind. The second photo records the unforgettable scene of the military parade celebrating the 70th anniversary of the founding of the people's Republic of China on October 1, 2019. "This time, I served as the benchmark of the army platoon and was reviewed by President Xi and the people of the whole country again!" Huang Chao said excitedly, "up to now, President Xi's important instructions and warm instructions are still in my ears. Over the years, I have personally experienced and witnessed the development of the army and strengthened my belief in following the party." Huang Chao's emotional narration aroused strong resonance among the officers and soldiers on the scene. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, under the unified deployment of chairman Xi and the Central Military Commission, our army has carried out an overall and revolutionary reconstruction from top to bottom and from inside to outside. The great efforts to strengthen the army have been launched continuously, with frequent highlights and remarkable results, realizing a new system, structure, pattern and appearance. In the theme education, the brigade widely carried out the educational and practical activities of "learning ideas, forging loyalty and undertaking missions", invited officers and soldiers who had performed major tasks to the podium, described the brilliant achievements made in national defense and military construction in recent years through photos, guided everyone to deeply understand the decisive significance of the "two establishment", strengthened ideals and beliefs, polished the background of loyalty, and strived forward the new journey of building a strong army with a high spirit. "Comrades in arms, do you remember the joy when you first launched a missile to hit the target?" At the theme education class of the women's missile company of the brigade, a "family photo" cheered and celebrated by the women soldiers attracted the attention of the reporter. This is the scene taken by female soldier Li Yueting with a camera when the company traveled thousands of miles to participate in live fire for the first time after its establishment. Li Yueting said: "the establishment of a women's missile company is the first time in our brigade. We will strive to win the top soldiers and constantly add luster to the military flag." From the Gobi desert to the jungles of southern China, from coastal beaches to plateau mountains, photos of officers and soldiers participating in military exercises and training and performing major tasks came into the eyes of officers and soldiers of a missile company of the brigade. Five years after its establishment, the company has been rated as a model unit for grass-roots construction by its superiors for five consecutive years, and has been awarded collective second-class merit twice and collective third-class merit three times. Feel the pulse of a strong army and inspire the fighting spirit to win. Over the past few days, the brigade has organized specialized training in reconnaissance, communications and other fields. Officers and soldiers have bravely competed for the first place. A number of operational training methods have been tested in practice, and a number of top training talents have come to the fore.
