Entering Suichuan, 'Thunder Strike Stone' witnesses military regulations like iron
2024-10-21
On an autumn morning, a thin mist lingers in the mountains. As soon as the reporter walked into Hengshi Village, Xinjiang Township, Suichuan County, Jiangxi Province, the Red Sixth Army Corps Long March Advance Departure Monument standing on the hillside came into view. In front of the monument, officers and soldiers of a certain brigade of the Eastern Theater Command Army lined up neatly to carry out ritual education around "commemorating martyrs and paying tribute to heroes". To walk the new Long March well, we need iron style and discipline as guarantees After the ceremony, Zhang Liang, a cadre of the brigade, told everyone the story of the red ancestors. He said that Suichuan was not only the starting point of the Long March of the Red Sixth Army, but also the birthplace of the "First Military Rule" of the People's Army. Looking back at the glorious history of the People's Army, it was generation after generation of officers and soldiers who consciously regarded discipline as their life, which shaped the good image of a mighty, civilized, and victorious army. It is reported that the predecessor of the brigade had outstanding achievements and a rich history. During the Long March, their predecessors were mainly responsible for the security and protection work of central leaders such as Mao Zedong, and later became known as the "Zhu De Guard Corps". During the conversation, the officers and soldiers arrived at Jingzhu Mountain in Suichuan. Here, the vegetation is dense and the mountains and forests are flourishing. A large stone, measuring 3 meters long and 2 meters wide, stretches across here, which is the famous "Thunderstone". Back then, Comrade Mao Zedong stood on this stone and announced three disciplines to the Red Army soldiers: "1. Follow orders in action; 2. Do not take a sweet potato from the masses; 3. If you punish the landlords, you must return to the public." Later, Mao Zedong proposed the "Six Points for Attention" in Lijiaping, which gradually developed into the well-known "Three Major Disciplines and Eight Points for Attention. During the long revolutionary years, the specific provisions of the "Three Disciplines and Eight Points for Attention" were constantly revised and improved, becoming the "First Military Regulation" of the People's Army. Coming from the flames and smoke of war, revolutionary predecessors have left a valuable experience for the army, which is' only by always adhering to strict discipline can we always stand invincible ' Zhang Liang said that the officers and soldiers of the brigade are familiar with a period of history: after the Red Army embarked on the Long March, facing the encirclement and blockade of superior enemies, the predecessors took on the task of covering up for the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Central Revolutionary Military Commission to break through the blockade line of the Kuomintang army. In the most brutal battle of the Xiangjiang River, they strictly observed the discipline of the battle, and faced enemies more than ten times their size, with no one retreating. In the end, they used iron and blood resistance to buy time for the large army to cross the river. The journey is like a rainbow, and the discipline is like iron. In the new era, conscious discipline remains the spiritual highland that officers and soldiers adhere to one after another. Standing in front of the 'Thunder Strike Stone', Zhang Liang told reporters that the officers and soldiers of the 'Political Discipline Model Company' of a certain brigade of the 83rd Group Army, who had a long-standing relationship with them, also came here to carry out educational activities on the same day. The reporter followed Zhang Liang's footsteps to Lijiaping Discipline Square, where the officers and soldiers of the "Political Discipline Model Company" were standing in front of the "Six Points of Attention" sculpture. It is reported that in the Battle of Liberating Shanghai, the officers and soldiers of the "Political Discipline Model Company" camped on the streets and wrote the touching story of "the victorious army sleeps on the road, and the Nanjing road does not disturb the people" with practical actions. 90 years have passed, and today's Lijiaping is bustling with storefronts along the street, with eaves, pillars, and arcade buildings standing tall. In the center of the block, six bronze statues symbolizing the "six precautions" are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the square. This red neighborhood has become a shining business card of Suichuan. The interweaving of past struggles, current missions, and future dreams has given us a deeper understanding of strengthening the construction of work style and discipline At the Lijiaping Discipline Square, officers and soldiers from two units conducted in-depth exchanges around "observing discipline, fulfilling missions, and building new achievements". Adhering to rules and discipline first, ranking first in training, rushing ahead in urgent situations, taking meals and rest later, going on vacation later, and receiving awards later... "This is the 'privilege' bestowed upon oneself by the backbone of the brigade party members," Zhang Liang said. No matter how time changes, the simple sentiment of consciously and firmly abiding by discipline always flows in the blood of officers and soldiers. On the new journey, the officers and men of the whole brigade gathered together into "a piece of hard steel" and successfully completed a number of major tasks entrusted by the superior. The brigade has been praised as a "model unit for implementing the goal of building a strong army" and "exemplary organization for building a clean and honest party", writing a new chapter of the era for heroic troops. "It was the discipline and style of the Red Army officers and men at that time that we would rather eat only a spoonful of Congee than touch the masses with a grain of rice. It was also a good tradition that every revolutionary soldier in the new era should carry forward." New recruit representative Liu Bowen passionately told the story of "hanging copper coins on sweet potato vines". That was when the Red Army was raising supplies for the Western Expedition, passing through an unattended sweet potato field. The soldiers who traveled long distances, were thirsty and hungry, had no choice but to dig up sweet potatoes to satisfy their hunger. Afterwards, they tied copper coin strings on the sweet potato vines to make sweet potato coins. From the "Three Major Disciplines and Six Points of Attention" to the revised and improved common regulations today, abiding by rules and regulations is not only a constraint, but also a conscious behavior and political consciousness of officers and soldiers unconsciously. Once, the brigade participated in a live fire exercise organized by the higher authorities. The officers and soldiers moved continuously day and night, passing through villages and farmland multiple times, and no one violated the discipline of the masses. A soldier from a certain company accidentally touched an apple from a fruit farmer, and when evacuating, he specifically came to apologize and offered compensation. Revolutionary soldiers must always remember the three major disciplines and eight points of attention. The first step is to obey the command and follow the same steps to achieve victory At the end of the communication, the officers and soldiers lined up neatly and sang the popular "Three Disciplines and Eight Points for Attention". The loud and clear singing echoed in the sky above the square... (News Agency)
