砥砺“先登”意志 ■杨东杰先登者，士之魂也。所谓“先登”，就是两军对垒、攻城拔寨之时，不惧城头箭雨飞石、不畏敌军刀戈林立，义无反顾率先攀梯登城、冲破敌人防线。在古代军功体系里，“先登”位列四大军功之首，含金量远超斩将、夺旗、陷阵之功。这份军功，以血肉之躯直面生死考验，以冲天之势突破要隘险关，彰显着军人最决绝的担当。纵观千年沙场征战兴衰，“先登”之功从来不是靠资历熬出来的，而是军人凭着敢打必胜、冲锋到底的顽强意志拼出来的。曹魏名将乐进，身材短小却果敢英烈，凭着“先登”的血战精神和硬核战绩位列“五子良将”。从古至今，无数沙场猛将以热血践行“先登”之志，用胜战印证一个道理：“先登”二字，从来不仅是战场首功的荣誉标识，更是狭路相逢勇者胜、事到万难须放胆的精神象征，是一鼓作气不畏惧、一往无前不退缩的意志传承。胜负之征，精神先见。战争既是物质的对抗，更是精神的较量。“先登”者从来不是天生无畏，而是深知沙场征战唯有敢打头阵、敢当先锋、敢攻险关，才能赢得胜利。我军一路走来历经无数艰险之战，上演了一幕幕威武雄壮的战争活剧，赢得一个个胜利，一个重要原因就是广大官兵发扬一不怕苦、二不怕死的战斗精神，不断砥砺“先登”意志，越是硬仗恶仗越敢向前，越是艰难险阻越不退缩。这种“先登”意志，是“明知征途有艰险，越是艰险越向前”的英勇无畏，是“黄沙百战穿金甲，不破楼兰终不还”的果敢决绝，是“千磨万击还坚劲，任尔东西南北风”的坚定执着。岁月流转，号角长鸣，“先登”意志永不过时。如今，虽没有古代攻城略地的正面厮杀，没有云梯攀城的生死对决，但深化实战化演训需要当先锋，险难课目攻坚需要打头阵，应急处突抢险救灾需要冲在前，每一项任务都是新时代的“攻城之战”，不服输、不怕死的战斗精神一刻也不能淡化，冲在前、豁出去的“先登”意识一刻也不能松懈。然而，相比先辈的“先登”血性，当下少数官兵身上少了冲锋锐气、缺了攻坚意志：有的面对高强度训练课目，怕苦怕累、畏难避险；有的面对改革转型发展新课题，观望等待、犹豫徘徊；有的面对急难险重任务，瞻前顾后、畏首畏尾。强军事业从来没有轻松得来的成绩，胜战之功从来没有坐等得来的荣光，没有一往无前的“先登”意志，就扛不起攻坚克难的强军重任；没有冲锋在前的铁血担当，就攻不下新时代的“娄山关”“腊子口”。强军兴军征程漫漫，攻坚胜战使命在肩。“先登”意志从来不是一时冲动的匹夫之勇，而是千锤百炼铸就的过硬本领，是持之以恒涵养的顽强作风。面对形势任务之变、练兵备战之需、转型建设之要，广大官兵尤需进一步淬炼“先登”意志，涵养闻令而动、向难而行的锐气，保持坚韧不拔、不屈不挠的作风，逢敌敢亮剑、遇难敢攻坚、逢险敢当先，真正做到关键时刻冲得上、危难关头豁得出、硬仗面前打得赢。

Summary

Machine summary

A political education article published in a PLA outlet calls on officers and soldiers to cultivate the 'first to scale the walls' (先登) fighting spirit, framing combat-realistic training, reform adaptation, and high-risk missions as modern equivalents of storming fortifications—and explicitly criticizing a subset of personnel for avoiding hardship, hesitating during reform, and shrinking from dangerous assignments. The piece is a standard ideological exhortation and contains no operationally novel information, but it is useful as evidence of a persistent PLA leadership concern that combat motivation and willingness to accept risk among rank-and-file personnel remain below the standard the force requires for high-intensity warfare.
