“不为胜利者,即为战败者” ■施晨洲 陈登科 红军长征湘江战役纪念馆展出的指令文件。张辰飞 摄 7月桂北,湘江静流。武警桂林支队全州中队官兵走进红军长征湘江战役纪念馆,展柜里展出的一封泛黄的指令文件,让所有人停下了脚步。 “我们不为胜利者,即为战败者。”这短短12个字,对该中队官兵来说,再熟悉不过,这份文件中的指示,一直是这支驻守在长征血战之地的中队代代相传的精神标尺。 指令发于1934年12月1日凌晨。那是湘江战役最惨烈的一天,也是决定红军生死存亡的最后关口。 彼时,中央红军突破三道封锁线后抵达湘江,敌军近30万兵力合围而来。红军被压缩在湘江以东狭长地带,军委纵队和主力部队仍有一部分尚未过江。一旦阻击线被突破,整个中央红军将面临被分割围歼的危险。 局势已到千钧一发之际。凌晨时分,这份由中共中央、中革军委、红军总政治部联署的紧急指令,传遍每一个阵地:“一日战斗,关系我野战军全部。西进胜利,可开辟今后的发展前途,退则我野战军将被层层切断……我们不为胜利者,即为战败者。胜负关系全局,人人要奋起作战的最高勇气,不顾一切牺牲,克服疲惫现象,以坚决的突击,执行进攻与消灭敌人的任务……” 没有回旋余地,没有退路可言。胜与败,生与死,被压缩为一道再清晰不过的单选题。 指令飞传至红34师阵地时,当面敌军已增至数倍,师长陈树湘率部在灌阳一带孤军死战,为主力抢渡争取时间。数日血战后,弹尽粮绝,陈树湘腹部中弹被俘。在押解途中,他宁死不屈,断肠明志,壮烈牺牲,年仅29岁。全师以近乎全员阵亡的代价,把敌军死死钉在身后。 “命令抵达阵地的那一刻,就意味着必须用生命来作答。”中队指导员莫家权对官兵们说,“这封指令的每一个字,都浸透着绝境之下破釜沉舟的决心。” 这句话,官兵们并不觉得遥远。在全州中队,“不为胜利者,即为战败者”从来不是挂在墙上的标语,而是关键时刻能吼出来的号令。 此前,驻地连日暴雨,洪涝突发。深夜,紧急集合哨骤然响起。官兵们闻令即动,与洪水抢时间,转移群众、加固堤坝。那一夜,没有人问“要干多久”,没有人说“撑不住”。 还有一次,当地突发山火。中队紧急集合,时任中队长周嘉锋站到队伍前,没有长篇动员,只讲了一句话:“同志们,我们不为胜利者,即为战败者。面前是火场,身后是百姓。” “先辈们在生死绝境中立起的标尺,传到我们手里,就是任务面前不打一丝折扣。”莫家权说。这种“不胜即败”的意识,也悄然重塑着中队的练兵理念。 该中队曾走过一段急功近利的弯路:为迎考盲目加时加练,不区分基础、不顾执勤压力,看似训练加码,实则重难点钻研不深、根基打得不牢,甚至消磨了官兵自主研训的热情。“偏离胜战标准就意味着失败。练兵场上没有中间状态,只有胜与败两种答案。”莫家权在反思会上说。此后,中队毅然摒弃蛮干做法,从加练基础力量、补足专业短板做起,从站好每一班哨抓起。 湘水滔滔,奔流不息。该中队连续4年在支队勤训轮换中排名靠前,50余名官兵在各级比武中摘金夺银。 “和平年代,哨位就是战位,执勤就是战斗。”战士黄凌志的话,道出了中队官兵的理解——誓争胜利、永不言败的考验,其实就体现在每一班岗、每一次任务里。守好一方平安,护好万家灯火,就是对先烈最好的告慰,就是我们这代人必须赢下的胜利。

Summary

Machine summary

Officers and soldiers of the Quanzhou Detachment of the People's Armed Police Guilin Contingent visited the Red Army Long March Xiangjiang Battle Memorial Museum in northern Guangxi, where a December 1, 1934 emergency directive — jointly signed by the CCP Central Committee, the Central Revolutionary Military Commission, and the Red Army General Political Department — anchored a political education session led by Detachment Political Instructor Mo Jiaquan. The article documents how the detachment uses the Xiangjiang Battle's 34th Division as its founding lineage narrative, tying the directive's phrase 不是胜利就是失败 ('either we are the victors, or we are the vanquished') to a self-reported training reform that replaced evaluation-driven drill overload with foundational physical and professional development. The framing points to a standard PAP political-work genre — heritage site visit as unit cohesion exercise — and its value is as a record of how the institution links revolutionary martyrdom to present-day guard duty and training discipline, not as evidence of changed posture or capability.
