In 1995, on the 50th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War, the first World Military Games was successfully held. The Chinese People's Liberation Army delegation won 13 gold, 21 silver and 15 bronze, ranking third on the medal list.
Twenty-four years later in Wuhan, China, our military delegation topped the gold and medal charts of the 7th World Military Games with 133 gold, 64 silver and 42 bronze.
From 13 to 133, the increase in the number of gold medals not only reflects the significant improvement in the level of sports athletes in our army, but also reflects a huge leap in our army's actual combat training level.
The smoke of the stadium dispersed, leaving a few thoughts. In the past few days, reporters have conducted in-depth interviews with the Military Sports Training Center of the Training and Management Department of the Military Commission and some grass-roots troops. From the performance of our military athletes at the military games, we have felt the progress of military-based practical training from a completely new perspective.
Fruitful results, the release of the effectiveness of the new system is indispensable
——The new system is rejuvenating and becoming a powerful driving force for practical training
At the Bayi Navy Pentathlon, a physical test report caught reporters' attention. The report lists athletes' hemoglobin, blood urea, ferritin and other indicators in detail. In the second half of the report, there is also an analysis of these indicators.
"According to the results of the report, timely adjustment of athlete training programs." Said Feng Yu, a coach of the Navy Pentathlon Team, said that today's physical examination data is becoming more and more precise, more specific, and the guidance for athlete training is more scientific and effective. During the preparations for the military games, they can monitor the athlete's physical condition at any time based on these data indicators, and make corresponding scientific adjustments to continuously improve training efficiency.
"Medical security is more scientific and effective, which is one of the benefits brought by the adjustment and reform of military sports institutions throughout the army." Coach Feng told reporters that at the beginning of 2018, according to the overall deployment of deepening national defense and military reforms, the military sports institutions in the entire army carried out adjustment and reform , 22 professional sports units distributed in different units throughout the army, merged to form the Military Sports Training Center of the Central Military Commission Training Management Department.
"This reform has achieved unified management, optimization of strength, and intensive resources for professional sports teams throughout the military, and has further focused military sports teams on serving forces." Leaders of the Military Sports Training Center told reporters: "Under the new system, all project teams Centralized centralized management allows comparison and pressure between teams. "
"In the past, professional sports teams belonged to different units, and they fought each other. Not only was it difficult to coordinate and coordinate when participating in major events, there was also no frame of reference between the teams." The leader of the military sports training center said that after the adjustment and reform of the establishment system, As each team came under the same roof, everyone's heart started to fight.
At the current military games, the Bayi military pentathlon team won 5 gold, and the other teams were not to be outdone. Bayi Skydiving Team won 11 gold, 5 silver and 1 bronze in the 8-day skydiving event. The Bayi table tennis team completed the team early in the men's singles, men's doubles, women's singles, women's doubles and other finals and locked the gold medal in advance.
"Winning the championship not only stems from our hard work, but also from the powerful effectiveness of the release of the new system after reform and reshaping." Relevant leaders of the Training Management Department of the Military Commission told reporters that the establishment of the military sports training center not only inspired various project teams. The fighting spirit also makes our military sports programs more convenient and efficient in terms of overall coordination and technical support.
"This military game tells us: behind the fruitful results, the release of the effectiveness of the new system is indispensable!" A military commander believes that the military athletes at the military games used their solid strength and fruitful results to demonstrate reform. The bonus brought by it vividly reflects the vitality of our new system.
The key to winning the championship is the sole fundamental criterion of combat effectiveness.
——The army's combat effectiveness standards have been set up and down, so that military training is truly at the center
By watching the five military events of the National Games through television, it is not surprising that Zhang Xinchang, the second sergeant major of a brigade of the Army, achieved a brilliant record for the Chinese team. What impressed him most was the selection of our military athletes-
Many of the members who participated in this military meeting were directly selected from the grassroots units, especially the military-like navy pentathlon and air force pentathlon. Taking the Pentathlon as an example, a total of 8 players, 6 of whom have served in the Marine Corps.
"Take player Yang Jin as an example. He made a stunning appearance in a competition at that time and suddenly entered the field of vision of our coaching staff." Speaking of his proud disciples, the navy pentathlon coach Feng Yu was proud.
"It is precisely because the military athletes have paid more attention to training than anything else that they have achieved such brilliant results in this military games. It is precisely because the officers and men of the army have always placed training and preparation in the first place. Only with the prosperity of military sports can the outstanding performance of military athletes. "Watching the live TV broadcast, Zhang Xinchang was sighing with emotion: concentrated attention and dedication to practical training is the status quo of military sports in our army, and it should also be every member of the military. The normal state of officers and men.
As a repairer in the unit, Zhang Xinchang once set a record of participating in competitions for 15 consecutive years and participating in drills for 17 consecutive years. Looking back on these experiences, he lamented that the troops had paid close attention to actual combat training, which put the military training work at the center and made combat effectiveness the sole fundamental standard.
Zhang Xinchang is proud of his apprenticeship for more than 20 years. He has developed more than a hundred innovative equipment, and he is indispensable for all tasks.
Zhang Xinchang's experience is a vivid epitome of the tens of millions of officers and soldiers focusing on winning and working together.
"Taking training as the most important task is the magic weapon for military athletes to win the arena, and it is a true portrayal of officers and soldiers in the army." A leader of the Training Bureau of the Training Management Department of the Military Commission said with emotion, through the window of the military games It can be felt that setting up combat standards for the entire army and putting military training at the center is not only the mystery of the military athletes winning the championship, but also the key to improving our military's actual combat training level.
Win gold and silver, just because you train like a war
——The officers and soldiers' awareness of actual combat has increased, and the intensity of military training has continued to increase.
Debuting at the Military Games for the first time, the Bayi Naval Pentathlon and Bayi Air Pentathlon have attracted widespread attention from all walks of life.
"What are the navy pentathlons?" "Why are these two games set up?" ... for a while, similar news and interpretation reports were overwhelming, which not only satisfied the audience ’s curiosity, but also conveyed the message: the course setting of the two events All are related to fighting.
"Navy pentathlon was first set according to the daily training courses of naval officers and soldiers. For example, the winding rods inside obstacles, such as life-saving swimming and navigation technology, are all daily training content for officers and men on ships." According to the introduction of Xiang Jin, the leader of the team, Wang Xianda, deputy commander of a certain brigade of the Marine Corps, was quite agreeable. He said that these courses, which are very closely combined with actual combat, have extremely high requirements for the soldiers' physical fitness, sports level, psychological quality, flexibility and coordination and stability.
"Five events in the Air Force are also selected from the daily training of the Air Force." A pilot from an Air Force brigade said that obstacle course simulates the dangerous environment that Air Force pilots may encounter after parachuting and landing, including crossing a single wooden bridge, turning Climb obstacles, escape from deep trenches, etc. These events require athletes to pass a series of obstacles while maintaining the highest speed to test the survival ability of Air Force officers and men after skydiving. These courses are of practical significance for cultivating and testing the intelligence and physical fitness of flight personnel, and are also one of the indicators for measuring the combat effectiveness of air forces in various countries.
On October 26, the two teams came up with good news: the national anthem was played 5 times in the Air Force Pentathlon, and 3 flags were raised at the same time; on the other side of the Naval Pentathlon, it was called "the strongest sailor". The Bayi Navy Pentathlon team won all 6 gold medals in the event.
"Behind the gold medal is the battlefield thinking!" Said Tan Zhihong, senior coach of the Bayi Navy Pentathlon. The reason for winning gold and silver is that our athletes always train like a war. Today, the military games are not only a contest of the physical strength of the military, but also a contest of military quality. Unconsciously, the arena and the battlefield have long been closely linked, and the unexpected situations that may occur on the arena one after another, and the opponent's tactical arrangements formulated for himself, in fact, reflect the strong concept of the battlefield.
"These ideas may be reflected in every training." After listening to Coach Tan, a certain aviation aviation instructor Niu Hui remembered that scene again--
In June of that year, the Army Aviation Brigade was jointly trained with a special warfare brigade, and the helicopter carried more than 10 special warfare crews for an airborne exercise. The pilot chose a landing place for landing, but the special combatants after leaving the aircraft found that the surrounding terrain was difficult to effectively hide, and eventually had to change the action plan.
Avoiding the jungle zone and choosing to land in a relatively flat and open area is entirely based on the consideration of landing safety. For special operations officers and soldiers performing combat tasks, this is tantamount to putting them in danger. This task set off a wake-up call for the ministry's actual combat training: the existence of actual combat consciousness and actual combat concepts in the mind is vital to the promotion of combat training.
Some military scholars have pointed out that in complex wars, many winning factors work simultaneously, manifesting as a regular "group effect" and "field effect". An unexpected situation with any of these factors can divert war from its intended direction.
"Whatever we need to fight, we will train hard." During the discussion, many military athletes and grass-roots officers and soldiers talked about a topic: In Zhu Rihe training base, there was a blue army with a high level of practicalization. This unit had an impressive record of 32 wins and 1 loss.
The troops that came to the challenge all faced several common problems: the terrain of the away battle was unfamiliar, the weapons and equipment were inferior to the opponents, and the troops were tired after long-distance maneuvers ... and after several battles, the troops that came to the challenge gradually understood the truth : There are rules on the playing field to maintain fairness, and on the battlefield, no war has rules.
"Like the unpredictable competition for military athletes, we can only go from preparing for battle to winning the battle with a strong sense of actual combat, and really training like fighting," said Qiao Fei, deputy chief of staff of a brigade.
We have reason to believe that there will be many more in this leap. On the road of practical training, the footsteps of Chinese soldiers will never stop.
