Summary

Machine summary

An unnamed Rocket Force unit whose predecessor formation conducted border combat missions hosted combat veterans—including Zeng Xiliang, Zhou Biao, and Wang Donghua—for a political education session in which the veterans recounted close combat, casualties, and pre-battle wills, while current personnel including 26-year deep-mountain squad leader Senior Master Sergeant Yao framed their missile readiness duties as continuity with that sacrifice. The article is standard political work content—specifically a 'pass on the fighting spirit' (传承血性) session tied to unit lineage—and its value is as a record of how the Rocket Force frames combat-readiness motivation to enlisted personnel through predecessor-unit identity and the 一不怕苦、二不怕死 ethos, not as evidence of changed posture or operational activity. The detail that a squad leader produced a handwritten 请战书 (pledge-for-battle letter) from a past major exercise extends the picture of how unit-level political culture is performed and preserved within Rocket Force garrisons.

火箭军某部邀请参战老兵与官兵共话使命担当—— “血性胆气永远不会丢” ■解放军报记者陈晓杰特约通讯员张峰 “那场战斗，我和战友们在枪林弹雨中奋勇冲锋，成功撕开敌人防线……”老兵曾溪良的讲述，将火箭军某部官兵的思绪带回炮火纷飞的战斗岁月。据了解，该部前身部队曾执行边境作战任务。日前，该部邀请参战老兵代表重返军营，与官兵共话使命担当。 “直面生死考验，您靠什么支撑自己坚守阵地？”面对官兵提问，曾老话语铿锵：“战斗打响前，我们每个人都写了遗书。当兵一定要‘一不怕苦、二不怕死’，只有这样才能保家卫国。” 火炮阵地、野战工事、战友合影……曾老话音刚落，大屏上呈现6张泛黄照片。老兵周标起身，指着照片讲述战地日常：泥泞掩体里昼夜坚守，坑道中分食干粮充饥……烽火往事，铺展在官兵面前。 “战斗打响前，我和战友还在一起。战斗结束后，一些战友永远留在了战场。”谈及牺牲的战友，周老几度哽咽。台下，扎根深山阵地26年的一级军士长姚班长听得格外认真。“当年，前辈们靠着血肉之躯筑起钢铁防线。如今，我们驻守深山执掌大国长剑，执行好每次战备值守任务、开展好每轮实装演练，才是对他们战斗精神最好的传承。”讨论交流中，姚班长说。新兵黄文斌边听边记，笔记本上密密麻麻记满老兵口述的战斗细节。他在笔记本扉页上郑重写道：“我是英雄部队的传人，我骄傲、我自豪！” 故事分享会结束后，该部邀请老兵们参观营区。荣誉橱窗内，一幅幅战车照片吸引了他们的目光。老兵王东华俯身凑近展板，仔细观察高耸的导弹发射架。“如今，大国长剑常年枕戈待旦，咱们保家卫国的底气越来越足！”他感慨地说。老兵一行走进连队营房，整齐的内务、熟悉的军号，勾起他们的青春记忆。老兵们围坐在班排宿舍，和连队官兵促膝长谈。他们细致询问官兵日常训练、战备执勤、业余生活，叮嘱年轻官兵传承敢打敢拼、忠诚无畏的战斗作风。座谈间隙，一级军士长杨班长拿出珍藏多年的手写请战书，分享执行某重大演训任务的经历。那年，该部接到上级紧急通知，包括杨班长在内的官兵不约而同写下“随时准备为党和人民牺牲一切”的誓言。 “老前辈，请你们放心，无论时代如何变迁，作为人民子弟兵，我们的血性胆气永远不会丢！”杨班长的话，道出了官兵心声。活动接近尾声，老兵们与年轻官兵在营房前合影留念。阳光下，老兵们胸前的军功章熠熠生辉。
