Summary

Machine summary

A brigade of the 71st Group Army formed a '基层党委炮班' (Grassroots Party Committee Gun Crew) — staffing a live-fire direct-fire artillery piece entirely with battalion-level Party committee members, including a battalion instructor as gun commander and a battalion commander as gunner — after a field assessment revealed that officers near gun positions had failed to step forward and lead when soldiers froze under unfamiliar conditions. The article documents a specific institutional problem: the gap between officers' formal authority and their willingness to demonstrate competence under pressure, which the brigade framed as a failure of 党委领战 (Party committee leadership in combat). The fix — forcing Party committee members to train and be assessed as ordinary crew members — produced measurable results (three platoons and nine squads earning brigade-level 'Divine Artillery' titles), but the article cannot establish whether this is a brigade-level workaround or part of a broader PLA effort to close the officer-competence gap at the gun line.

这次考核，教导员当炮长 ■丁凯强解放军报特约记者王润鑫山野之间，第71集团军某旅一场实战化炮兵直瞄射击考核拉开帷幕。 “瞄准手注意，预备，放！”炮长下达口令，瞄准手迅速摇动方向机，将炮口瞄向目标区。随着一声巨响，目标区泛起滚滚浓烟。 “首发命中，目标被摧毁！”考核组通报，该炮班取得“开门红”，现场响起阵阵掌声。考核结束，参考人员陆续走下阵位，记者发现，这个打出“开门红”的炮班很特别：每名成员都是军官！ “这是我们组建的‘基层党委炮班’。”看出记者的疑惑，该旅作训科郭参谋解释说，“担任炮长的武犇是营教导员，瞄准手是营长李季，其余炮手都是营党委委员。” 记者了解得知，这样的安排源于一次“不及格”的考核。与以往不同，那次炮班协同操作考核地点从营区换到了驻训场，课目难度和场地条件较此前都有很大变化。考核伊始，各炮班闻令而动，很有劲头。可成绩一出，几个平时表现优异的炮班，竟因超时被判不及格。郭参谋对此不解。考核结束，他找到这些战士了解情况，有人道出了实情。原来，由于不熟悉环境，加之考核临时新增不少重难点课目，个别战士心里发怵，导致整体节奏被迫放缓，而几名离炮位较近的干部并未及时靠上前去做工作，最终考核失利。郭参谋感到，面对新情况、新问题，战士们有畏难情绪，可以理解。但部分干部关键时刻不敢喊出“跟我上”，更缺乏“我先上”的勇气，战士们缺少示范和榜样，怎能不陷入“大眼瞪小眼”的境地？得知此事，该旅党委一班人高度重视，他们认为，炮兵虽有其特殊性，但这不是借口，一线指挥员必须主动带领战士们攻坚克难，时刻作好表率、稳住阵脚。为此，他们决定组建“基层党委炮班”，将各营党委委员编成战炮班，以普通战斗员的身份与官兵同操作、同训练、同考核，在炮位一线带头研练装备、破解难题。新招法很快带来新变化。加入战炮班后，某营党委委员、某连来指导员了解到战士们一直受某技术问题困扰，便带头查资料、做笔记，梳理装备操作技巧，很快便破解了难题；某营党委委员、榴炮连张连长发现，在操炮过程中，某个环节耗时较长，便对着火控终端反复录入射击诸元，跟着战士们一遍遍练动作，终于摸索出简单高效的新路子，大幅压减了操作时间。干部带头干，战士跟着练。某营某连上等兵、瞄准手张冠尊直面重难点课目，敢于尝试，与战友们密切协作，取得了长足进步；某营火炮技师张云着眼提升年轻战士应急处置火炮故障能力，与营主官一同加班加点，编写出一组好用管用的排障小卡片……如今，面对重难点课目，战士们更加积极主动，班组间的协同配合也更加顺畅。据统计，“基层党委炮班”成立以来，示范带动作用明显，共有3个建制排、9个建制班先后在旅级专业比武中荣获“神炮排”“神炮班”称号。该旅领导表示，他们将持续完善机制，以党委领战的鲜明导向，不断提升部队练兵备战质效。
