Summary

Machine summary

A PLA Daily feature profiles Chen Zulin, a Grade-2 Master Sergeant (二级军士长) in a Rocket Force missile engineer unit, who has spent 24 years boring tunnels in unnamed mountains as part of ongoing underground facility construction for the Rocket Force, and Wang Hongjun, a Grade-1 Master Sergeant in a naval support battalion's cave depot detachment who is completing 30 years on a sea island. The article documents the NCO retention and morale management problem inherent in construction and logistics billets that are structurally remote from combat roles — the framing around Long March heritage and the 建军一百年奋斗目标 (centenary army-building goal) is the institutional answer to that problem. The mention of Chen's research into 智能化 (intelligentized) construction equipment is the one operationally substantive detail, though the article provides no specifics on what systems or methods are under development.

信仰刻进无名深山 ■解放军报特约记者李映虹方雷 “液压故障排除，开始上电试钻！”口令落定，在火箭军某部核心施工作业面，半小时前因故障停转的主钻机重新轰鸣，投入掘进施工。这是该部官兵在无名山腹坑道连续鏖战的第28个小时。沙石迸溅、火星四射，漫卷尘土中，将“趴窝”装备重新唤醒的老兵满身岩灰——他就是火箭军某导弹工程兵部队二级军士长陈祖蔺。陈祖蔺的名字，取自他的祖籍古蔺。当年，在古蔺的崇山峻岭间，红军部队辗转两个多月，以灵活机动的战术把数十万敌军拖得晕头转向，迈开了北上长征的坚定步伐。生于斯、长于斯，长征精神对陈祖蔺而言，不仅是书本里的文字。“小时候总想着，像故事里的红军先辈那样扛枪上前线，干一番响当当的事业。”2002年，18岁的陈祖蔺揣着入伍通知书离开家乡。得知被分配到原第二炮兵部队，他兴奋极了：“这可是托举导弹飞天的高技术军种，听起来就‘高大上’！” 可没想到，载着新兵的大巴在盘山公路绕了一天，最后深入一片人迹罕至的山沟。第二天，新兵被班长领进了黑漆漆的坑道——没有发射架，没有导弹，只有隆隆的风钻轰鸣和狰狞的乱石岩层。当时，受施工点位环境限制，大型掘进装备难以大批量展开，多数作业依靠官兵扛风钻、挥锹镐破土掘进。一天下来，大家满身土灰，钻杆震得虎口开裂。陈祖蔺时常想：好不容易走出家乡的大山，怎么兜兜转转又扎进另一个山沟？一次工区转场，部队途经一处长征旧址，陈祖蔺被请上前讲红军故事。“当年红军靠坚定的理想信念与不屈的革命意志，在绝境中蹚出生路，走出一个崭新中国。”讲着讲着，陈祖蔺心中的迷雾好似消散了，“我们在大江南北构筑的每一处阵地、在深山坑道里凿进的每一米距离，都是对长征精神的传承弘扬。” 思想上的破茧，让陈祖蔺重新振翅。此后，陈祖蔺不叫苦不怕累，白天跟班作业，摸清性能参数，晚上在宿营板房里啃专业书，研究机械原理。24年扎根施工一线，如今已是二级军士长的陈祖蔺成为大伙儿公认的技术能手，牵头组建了“祖蔺精修队”，带着年轻工程兵跑遍施工点位。 “一个时期有一个时期的历史使命，一代人有一代人的历史担当。长征精神的生命力，在于其始终与时代同频共振。”陈祖蔺为记者介绍来自陕西吴起的“00后”战士小吴——因祖辈是亲历长征的老红军，他从小就对部队很向往。可入伍后施工枯燥、远离一线，他一度感到困惑。一次跨单位装备维修教学，陈祖蔺认识了小吴。他记挂着这个和自己有相似心路的年轻战士，用长征故事开解小吴，讲透讲清导弹工程兵的时代使命。后来，小吴潜心钻研专业技能，成功考入火箭军军士学院。坑道里，鏖战依旧火热。夜以继日的施工中，官兵们早已模糊了阴晴晨昏，对山外的金秋层林、日升月落顾不上太多。陈祖蔺告诉记者，等这个阵地竣工，他和战友们又要奔赴下一座无名深山。后记纪念中国工农红军长征胜利90周年大会召开前几天，陈祖蔺接到了一个千里之外的电话——电话那头，是他早年在装备保障专业集训中结识的海军某保障大队某分队一级军士长王红军。一个扎根岩层，为大国长剑筑巢；一个驻守洞库，在山海间守望深蓝。火热的军旅岁月，很多人的青春是驰骋沙场、直面硝烟，还有很多人的青春像他们一样，隐于山野，在鲜为人知的战位默默扎根。陈祖蔺告诉记者，王红军已经驻守海岛30年，今年底即将服役期满。最后一段军旅路，他没有泄劲——这些日子，他把洞库运维的专业经验梳理成册，巡线时为新战友实操演示。得知陈祖蔺正针对不断迭代的施工工法和智能化装备进行钻研试验，王红军打来电话，互相勉励鼓劲，并约定好：纵使山高海阔，也要踏着人民军队实现建军一百年奋斗目标的鼓点，向着胜利冲锋。
