训练场上不必说“请”字 ■慕宇杰 赵明刚 4月的一天下午,在海军某部训练场上,刚被调整为副班长的刘国雨激动又忐忑,这是他第一次以指挥员的身份站在队伍前。此刻,刘国雨满脑子都在期待着在新岗位上“露一手”。 队列里,一级上士王云飞出列完成示范动作,动作干脆利落。等他入列时,为了表达“尊重”,刘国雨特意把嗓门放柔,脱口而出:“请入列!” 话音落处,王云飞的动作明显顿了下,随后完成入列。站在一旁的指导员祝登辉看了刘国雨一眼,没说什么。刘国雨心中暗喜,自己的“小心思”挺奏效——对老兵客客气气的,以后班里的工作还愁不好开展? 接下来的几天,他更是把这份“客气”延续了下去。每次给老兵下达口令,他都刻意加上“请”字:“请稍息”“请入列”……刘国雨心里美滋滋的,觉得这样做,既显得自己尊重老同志,又能和战友拉近距离,一举两得。 可这份“小得意”没持续多久。 一次训练间隙,指导员把刘国雨叫到了一旁:“刘国雨,你‘请’起来没完了?谁允许你下达口令加‘请’字的?” 刘国雨一下子懵了。这时,他才反应过来,指导员之前的眼神不是默许,而是对他“讨好式管理”的失望。 “指导员,我就是想和大家搞好关系,方便以后开展工作……”刘国雨低着头,声音越说越小。 指导员没有继续责备他,而是一字一顿地对他说:“训练场上不必说‘请’字。” 随后,指导员说起自己当年刚担任班长时的经历:“我那会儿也这样,训练时对老兵们和和气气,觉得这样做,大家会喜欢我。后来一次考核,我们班成绩垫底。那时我才明白,真正的指挥员,得有指挥员的样子,口令就是号令,容不得半点含糊。”指导员的话,一字一句砸在刘国雨心上。 想起自己训练场“讨好”老兵的样子,刘国雨忽然觉得脸红。指导员见他若有所思,拍了拍他的肩膀:“回去好好想想。带兵不是请客吃饭,你硬气,战士才服气。” 第二天队列训练,他提前到场,把口令练了十几遍。开训时,他腰杆挺直,声音洪亮:“立正!稍息!向右看——齐!”站在队列里的老兵,被纠正动作时,他直接点名:“王云飞,手臂摆高一点!” 训练间隙,王云飞笑着对他说:“副班长,今天这嗓子够亮啊。”刘国雨正想解释,王云飞却竖起大拇指:“这才像个副班长的样子。那天你喊‘请’的时候,我听着也别扭。带兵就得有带兵的样,别管我干了多少年,训练场上,该听你的就得听你的。你放心,我们这些老同志,服的是队列条令,不是‘客气’。” 刘国雨先是一愣,随即心里一热……如今,训练场没有了“请”字,但战友们看刘国雨的眼神里,却多了几分信任与尊重。

Summary

Machine summary

A PLA Navy unit's political education outlet published a first-person instructional narrative in which a newly appointed assistant squad leader, Liu Guoyu, is corrected by Political Instructor Zhu Denghui for softening commands with the word 'please' toward senior enlisted soldiers—a practice the article labels 'ingratiating-style leadership' (讨好式管理). The piece is a routine political education vignette aimed at junior non-commissioned officers and signals ongoing PLA institutional concern about command authority and discipline at the squad level, particularly as newly promoted NCOs navigate relationships with longer-serving enlisted personnel. The announcement follows a standard pattern of PLA unit-level moral instruction and contains no new information about capability, posture, or order of battle.
