Summary

Machine summary

Squad Leader Liu Sheng, of a company in an unnamed regiment of the Xinjiang Military District, describes changing his correction method after a conscript, Zhao Chengxiang, complained that criticism without explanation left him unable to fix his low-crawl form. This is standard political-work content of the 'squad leader reflection' genre published in PLA outlets to model grassroots leadership norms; its value is as a record of how the institution is currently framing the relationship between NCO authority and soldier buy-in, not as evidence of a new training policy or doctrinal shift.

讲透“为什么”，战士才信服 ■新疆军区某团某连班长刘胜当班长以来，我一直讲求批评要“短平快”：指出问题、下达整改要求，干脆利落，从不绕弯子，也不解释“为什么”。直到最近，因为义务兵的一句嘀咕，我决定改一改。事情是这样的：前段时间战术训练，我发现义务兵赵成祥因抬头过高、重心不稳，低姿匍匐动作总是变形，练了好几遍，动作仍没有改进。于是，我当着全班的面，直接对他进行了点名批评。赵成祥被我批评后，脸颊一红，随即低着头一遍遍练起来。但他状态明显不对——动作越做越走样，情绪越来越低落。休息时，我隐约听见他跟战友抱怨：“班长只说不对，也不说为啥不对，我哪知道问题出在哪？” 这句话声音虽轻，却像一记重锤敲在我心上。我静下心后，不禁开始反思：平时批评战士，张口就是“不行”“不合格”，很少认真讲过“错在哪、为什么错、具体应该怎么改正”。战士知其然，不知其所以然，甚至对接下来怎么做都无所适从，难免会整改时无从下手。当天下午，我把赵成祥叫到训练场一侧。这回，我没有多说啥，而是现场给他做起了分解示范：“你看，低姿匍匐抬头超过一拳，身体暴露面积就会明显增大，战场上就是给敌人送靶子；你习惯重心偏后，这样不仅前进速度上不去，还会打乱全班的协同节奏。” 我结合实兵对抗的案例，把动作要领和战术逻辑给他清清楚楚讲了一遍。赵成祥听得很认真，随着我的讲解，他眼里的迷茫也慢慢散去，眼神变得清亮。打那以后，他训练主动多了，常常追着我请教动作细节。不久后的阶段考核中，他在战术课目上获评“优秀”。这件事让我明白，带兵不能只是简单的“我说你听”，批评也不是单纯挑错问责。把“为什么”讲透，战士才能从心底信服，批评才能真正起到教育人、帮助人的作用。如今组织训练，指出问题前，我总会多花两分钟讲清缘由，班里的训练劲头由此更足了，战士们也更愿意跟我掏心窝子。（秦子洋整理）
