Summary

Machine summary

In a new-recruit training company of an unspecified brigade of the Xinjiang Military District, Second Squad recruits proposed conceding the weekly 流动红旗 (Flowing Red Banner) competition to a demoralized Third Squad after winning it by 0.3 points for several consecutive weeks; the brigade political commissar intervened to reframe the issue, and Third Squad won the following week on merit. The article is standard political-work content from the recruit-training cycle; its value is as a record of how the PLA frames 荣誉 (honor) and 胜战本领 (the ability to win battles) to junior enlisted personnel — specifically, that competitive drive and unit cohesion are not in tension but that manufactured outcomes corrupt both. The commissar's closing line linking the banner to battlefield performance documents the institution's current formula for connecting garrison competition to warfighting motivation in new-recruit indoctrination.

流动红旗怎能“让” ■董浩 “总是我们拿流动红旗，三班战友肯定心里难受，其实没差多少分，这次就让给他们吧”“评比标准摆在那里，让来让去算怎么回事”……结束了一天的训练，新疆军区某旅新兵集训队二班宿舍内，正进行着一场“秘密讨论”。每周进行流动红旗评比，是新兵集训队衡量各班一周综合表现的重要方式。因此，自集训开展以来，各班都铆足了劲展开比拼。其中二班和三班更是因为各方面表现较为突出，生出几分针锋相对的意思。此前连续几周，二班都以微弱优势夺旗。这周又是如此，二班以0.3分的优势险胜夺旗。连续夺旗本应庆祝，但晚上回到宿舍，郭涛等几名新兵却找到班长李金涛：“班长，咱们连续拿旗这么多次了，要不这次就‘让’给三班吧？” 李金涛闻言十分诧异：“按照规定，流动红旗肯定不能这么随便‘让来让去’，你怎么会有这种想法？”郭涛则坦言，下午偶然听见几名三班战友聊天，言语中十分沮丧，甚至想“放弃算了”。郭涛觉得二班和三班战士虽是对手，更是战友，不希望三班因此丧失斗志，所以提出了“让红旗”的建议。了解事情缘由，李金涛将班内同志叫到一起，想听听大家的看法。对此，有人和郭涛一样，觉得班里已经多次获得红旗，不差这一次，让给三班既能增进战友情谊，还能帮助三班重燃信心，一举两得；但也有人指出，军人荣誉是争出来的，不是让出来的，今天让给三班，明天让给一班，如此“轮流坐庄”，评比便失去了意义。二班谈话的声音有些大，很快引来其他班的新兵加入讨论。有人直言：“总是拿不到红旗，确实有些失落。”三班新兵则是听得面红耳赤，试图阻止二班战友：“我们下午就是训练太累抱怨一下，不是真的要放弃评比”“虽然只差0.3分，但输了就是输了。想要红旗，下周我们会靠自己的实力夺回来”…… 眼见讨论越发热烈，恰好在集训队蹲点了解新兵情况的旅政委加入讨论：“今天这场讨论，争的是一面红旗的归属，问的却是‘荣誉’二字的分量。对于军人而言，荣誉不是挂在墙上的装饰，也不是争来比去的排名。组织把旗挂在哪个班，是相信哪个班能当标杆，把任务交到他们手上，是相信他们能打硬仗。红旗排名可以让，胜战本领让不了。” 一番话语重心长，不少新兵陷入思索，每个人心里都有了答案。新的一周很快到来。在一次班战术训练时，三班新兵扎扎实实打配合、抠细节，率先撕开防线。凭借这次的优异表现，他们成功获得这周的流动红旗。流动红旗颁发当晚，郭涛敲开了三班宿舍的门。“恭喜你们，赢得漂亮。这周我们输了，但输得服气。”他顿了顿，继续说道，“服气归服气，但下周，我们还是会把红旗夺回来！”
