If you open a column (after winning 90 prizes)
Some people say that the post-90 s generation is a rebellious generation, while others say that the post-90 s generation is an over-ego generation. Countless facts from military camps have proved that the post-90s soldiers show more bright spots, and many precious qualities belonging to this era shine on them.
A generation has the characteristics of a generation, and a generation has the elegance of a generation. We should provide a broader space for post-90s soldiers to display their talents, give them a diversified lifestyle and be more tolerant, cheer for their running and applaud their achievements. Perhaps, give the post-90s a sincere encouragement today, and they will give us a brand-new world tomorrow.
From now on, this newspaper will open a column entitled "Brilliant Post-90s" to introduce a group of post-90s soldiers with vivid stories and touching deeds to readers. Please pay attention.
100 meters away, how to find a 5 mm thick wire? For ordinary people, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Coupled with a breeze of 5 meters per second, the wires hidden between the treetops swing slightly, making it difficult to find them.
But in the eyes of snipers, this is a deviation that must be accurately corrected, and the thin line that almost coincides with the scale line in the sight is the target of the first hit.
In the "Golden Eagle -2016" international special sniper competition held in June this year, only one soldier from China completed such an extreme challenge: it took 17 seconds, one bullet hit a wire 100 meters away and 5 mm thick, and won the first place in the course with absolute advantage.
This China soldier is Bing Wang, the post-90s platoon leader of a special brigade of the 26th Army. In the seven years since he joined the army, he has won the first class merit once and the third class merit three times. Comrades say that in Bing Wang’s sight, the goal is always "the first".
Less than 10 months after joining the army, Bing Wang set a record: he participated in the competition of former jinan military area command scouts as a private. At first, comrades-in-arms thought it was a fable: special scouts have a wide range of training courses, including dozens of contents such as confrontation shooting, downhill, fighting and diving. Can recruits do it? But Bing Wang didn’t believe in evil: "I just want to be the first one!"
From "thinking" to "getting", the key is to "do it". In the training of prone shooting in cold areas, others can’t stand for 30 minutes, and he insists on not getting up for one hour; In the 400-meter obstacle, he took all the links apart and practiced. Every obstacle had to be practiced for nearly a hundred times in a row, just to improve by a few tenths of a second. In the end, Bing Wang got his wish to participate in the tournament, won the first place in the total score with his comrades, and turned the "impossible" into reality with actions.
Towards the "first" goal, Bing Wang’s military road is getting brighter and brighter: the gold medal of the special forces of the whole army, the 2-star diving badge, the 5-star parachute badge and the 6-star sniper badge. "These special skills badges are gradually upgraded from 1 star to 5 stars, and 6 stars represent the highest honor." Bing Wang said that every star on his chest was earned by his "desperate efforts".
In 2011, Bing Wang participated in the "Sharp Blade -2011" joint training of Indonesian special forces. For the first time, the joint training team tried the high-risk course of 400-meter base jump. When Bing Wang jumped out of the engine room, the ground observation found that someone else was an umbrella flower, but he was a black spot, falling rapidly in the air.
"The main umbrella is not open properly, and the umbrella rope is around the top!" At the place, everyone’s heart was in the throats: 400 meters fell at a height, and the whole journey took only about 9 seconds, leaving only two or three seconds for the parachutists to dispose of, which is equivalent to giving half a life to death.
200 meters, 150 meters … … At the critical moment, Bing Wang pulled open the pull ring of the backup umbrella hand and landed safely after 8 seconds. When the head of the Indonesian military learned that Bing Wang was a post-90 s, he repeatedly praised: "So young, you can be so calm and amazing!"
Such a life-and-death test, Bing Wang and his comrades have experienced too much. In the eyes of his comrade-in-arms, Asimu Xia, Wang Bing can create miracles again and again, not only because of his firm belief and tenacious will, but also because he is good at summing up and thinking.
"Bing Wang had little contact with the high-precision sniper rifle used in this sniper competition. At first I was his teacher, but it didn’t take long for him to teach me in turn." Asimu Xia told reporters that Bing Wang was a substitute at the beginning. In order to find out the weapon’s "temper" as soon as possible, he had a pen in his pocket during daytime training and recorded the shooting parameters on the back of his hand after each bullet. Everyone else had a rest at night, and he was still sorting out the data during the day.
"The plateau air pressure is low, and the resistance of warhead flight is small, so the aiming point should be revised downward accordingly." Open Bing Wang’s notebook, full of all kinds of data and pictures: daily weather, distribution of impact points and experience, performance parameters and weak parts of various sniper rifles … … He took four such notes and marked thousands of impact data.
This research drive has made Wang Bing more and more outstanding. On the field, he knows thousands of parameters clearly, and he can judge the wind direction and speed in a few seconds, visually observe the distance and high and low angles, and get the correction value. Compared with the measuring instrument, the error is close to zero.
After returning from the stadium, Bing Wang was not idle. He played back the video of the game several times, carefully analyzed the impact point data of himself and his opponent, and summarized and combed out more than 30 practical experiences around the aspects of accurate weapon calibration, battlefield improvisation, rapid wind repair and ranging.
"I am aiming at the next time." Talking about the future, Bing Wang’s face is full of youthful confidence.
