Summary

Machine summary

Wu Yonghui, a company officer in a brigade of the 72nd Group Army, describes in PLA Daily how he rehabilitated three artillery soldiers — a gun driver, a gun commander, and a gunner — after live-fire failures, using tailored psychological recovery methods including historical mentorship, frame-by-frame after-action review, and a structured 'desensitization' (脱敏) drill regimen. This is standard political work content; its value is as a record of how the PLA frames junior-leader responsibility for soldier resilience and psychological readiness, and it documents the institutional expectation that company-grade officers manage combat confidence as a discrete leadership task rather than leaving it to unit culture or self-correction.

让“伤疤”结成最硬“铠甲” ■第72集团军某旅某连干部吴永慧在一线带兵6年有余，我有一个深切感悟：军旅之路难免遭遇挫折，每当这时，战士们很容易产生自我怀疑。这些负面情绪悄然吞噬着他们的冲劲，只有善于用信任和包容帮助他们卸下包袱，才能引导他们将这些挫折失败留下的“伤疤”，转化为继续战斗时的坚硬“铠甲”。去年的一次实弹射击训练中，基准炮驾驶员国东昕遭遇“至暗时刻”：从内陆转战沿海，环境变化导致火炮射击时出现故障。事后，这名有着10年兵龄的骨干大受打击，生活中沉默寡言，工作训练畏首畏尾。我知道，这次失败留下的“伤疤”正在侵蚀着他的自信心。为了帮助国东昕走出心理阴影，我拉着他走进荣誉室，指向那面“百发百中”锦旗，讲起连队前辈在抗美援朝战场上，与打偏、卡壳“死磕到底”，把失误变成命中底气的故事。“先辈们跌倒过，又爬了起来。”我拍打他的肩膀，“连队不会因一次失误就否定你，但你得咬牙站起来！” 国东昕当时没说什么，但很快振作起来……年底班长空缺，党支部根据他的表现，任命他为班长。炮长周家鸿带队出征“神炮班”比武，间瞄射击数次脱靶。从阵地下来，他把额头抵在滚烫的火炮上，羞愧难当。连队没有责备，而是召集干部骨干带着周家鸿逐帧分析录像、逐个查找漏洞。这样倾心的帮带，让周家鸿重燃斗志。前不久的实弹射击中，他指挥直瞄3发全中，运动目标3发2中，摘得“神炮班”旗帜。骨干跌倒需要信任托底，年轻同志受挫更需带兵人的陪伴。首次参加实弹考核时，瞄准手杨光凯因紧张忘记修正“半个密位”，炮长当场扯下耳机怒吼：“能不能干了！”这句质问在他心头压了一块石头，接连几天，他总抢着搬最沉的弹药箱，但站上炮位时便神色恍惚——拼命干体力活，是想用汗水洗刷愧疚；战位上心神不宁，是怕被贴上“不行”的标签。连队没有因此就把他“打入冷宫”，而是量身定制“脱敏”计划：战友在他瞄准时模拟炮声，帮他适应战场复杂环境、克服心理恐惧。每次他紧张手抖，都有战友在身旁鼓励：“相信自己，你能行。”两个月后，杨光凯在班组协同比武中，以零误差完成装定瞄准，比优秀标准快了35秒。那道曾经的“伤疤”，彻底愈合。前段时间，连队组织强军故事会，我把这3名战友请上讲台，与大家分享自己“伤疤愈合”的故事。我对全连说：“一时的挫折只是成长路上的磨刀石，那些曾经的‘伤疤’，最终会化为我们身上最硬的‘铠甲’！”掌声经久不息。我看见，国东昕眼眶发红，杨光凯挺直腰板，周家鸿眼神里满是坚定。（赵威、解放军报特约记者童祖静整理）
