高班长喜欢“自讨苦吃” ■韩莹 “高班长这人，就喜欢‘自讨苦吃’！”提起信息支援部队某部勤务保障营一级军士长高波，大家的评价出奇一致。此话从何而来？与他并肩战斗多年的二级军士长李炳晓最有发言权：“明明有省劲办法，他偏要下笨功夫；明明按部就班就行，他非要精益求精；明明到了可以歇口气的年纪，他却始终冲在最前面。” 高波的老家在山东金乡，是英雄王杰的故乡，“一不怕苦、二不怕死”这几个字，打小就刻进了他的骨子里。入伍之初，高波当上了驾驶员。那些年，驾驶员是热门岗位，可高波却起了“改行”的念头，起因竟是“会开不会修”。一次任务中，车辆突发故障，高波捣鼓半天也没找出毛病，但维修技师三下五除二就解决了故障。那一刻，高波脸上火辣辣的。不久，他向领导递交了转岗申请，想到修理所工作。领导很诧异：“修理是个苦活，你车开得这么好，咋操那个心？”高波答得干脆：“我不怕苦。吃苦才能当精兵、打胜仗。” 转岗到装备维修专业后，高波从零起步。不懂原理，他就照图纸将成百上千个零件拆了又装、装了又拆。技术不精，他连续3年每周末往返4小时去军校听课，还利用休假时间去地方修理厂当学徒。战友打趣他“没苦硬吃”，他却笑着回应：“现在多吃点苦，关键时刻才能顶得住。” 如今，从驾驶、维修、保养、电气焊，到钣金喷漆、车工钳工、特种装备操作……跟车相关的活儿，高波样样拿得出手。有人说，只要有高班长在，心里就有底。也有人说，以高班长的年纪和资历，按部就班完成任务就行，没必要再吃苦了。可高波偏不。去年年初，他得知某重大任务选拔装备保障人员，能够接触到很多新装备和新的理念方法。“这不正是长本事、开眼界的好机会吗？”高波毫不犹豫报了名。集训期间，他作为队里年纪最大的军士，全程和年轻战士同台比拼。每天天不亮就赶到车场，每次训练结束，别人都离开了，他还要检修装备，琢磨改进方法。面对大家的不解，他说：“部队发展快，一天一个样。我要不进步，早晚被淘汰。” 就这样，高波一路过关斩将，成功入选。那年跨区机动演练，一台装备突然“趴窝”。高波得知消息，立即带队赶来。虽然快速排除了故障，但返回路上，他一直皱眉不语。过了一会儿，他突然开口：“维修备件和保障人员跟不上，这个问题必须解决。”年轻战士一听愣了：“咱们完成正常任务就行了，何必给自己找事儿？”高波急了：“战场上的事不分你我。” 之后一段时间，高波起早贪黑，研究机械装备原理、分析历年故障数据，梳理高频易损件……最终研究出一套面向多种装备、涵盖50余种故障应急备件的便携式维修急救包，深受大家欢迎。这两年，曾有身边战友劝高波：“你离退休没几年了，精力也不比从前，可以放慢脚步了。”可高波另有打算：“我不能停，得抓紧在退休前，培养出更多能挑大梁的接班人。” 这不，从去年开始，高波打破专业壁垒，开办“用修双学”培训班，培养既会驾驶又会维修的专业人才；总结编写《装备维修保养手册》，把复杂理论变成通俗易懂的语言；将自己在实战中收藏的战损零部件当作活教材，手把手教大家感知故障、判断成因、实操维修…… 深夜，高波的身影再次出现在装备旁。灯光将他的身影拉长，映照着这位老兵数十年如一日的坚守。有人说他傻，喜欢“自讨苦吃”。他却一脸幸福地说：“这份‘苦中之乐’让我很踏实、很幸福。”

Summary

Machine summary

Gao Bo, a First-Grade Sergeant Major in a service support battalion under the Information Support Force, developed a portable emergency maintenance kit covering more than 50 spare part types across multiple vehicle categories and launched a 'use-and-repair dual-study' training program after identifying logistics gaps during a cross-region mobility exercise. The article documents a persistent readiness problem the ISF's ground support elements face: maintenance personnel and spare parts cannot keep pace with equipment during rapid cross-region operations, a gap Gao addressed at the individual level through self-initiated solutions rather than institutional ones. It fits a recurring pattern in PLA military media of using senior NCO profiles to surface real capability shortfalls — the portable kit and the training manual are the concrete evidence; the framing around 'seeking hardship' is the political packaging.
