The passion is flying, the battle song is loud and clear; the birthday of the motherland is celebrated by mountains and rivers.
On the morning of October 1, the armed police force was inspected by the motherland and the people with sonorous and heroic steps.
The leaders of the two generals were energetic and upright. Behind them, 350 members of the square team came with an overwhelming force: one by one, heroic and masculine; one by one, like knives and axes, neatly chopping.
At the beginning of the new year in 2018, the Armed Police Force adjusted its leadership and command system, under the centralized and unified leadership of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, and implemented the Central Military Commission-Armed Police Force-Force leadership and command system. This is the new appearance of the Armed Police Force after President Xi presented the flag and lectured the Armed Police Force, and it is also a solemn oath to build a strong and modern armed police force.
Iron heart to the party, establishing a new height of loyalty
On the parade ground, the mighty squadron was surrounded by a touch of bright red.
With the strong rhythm on the parade ground, what makes people unforgettable is the row of red shoulder badges of the officers and soldiers of the armed police force.
"Red is the base color of the People’s Armed Police Force," said Major General Zhao Dongfang, the leader of the party and the "Ten Loyal Guards of the Armed Police Force." In one major task after another, the officers and soldiers of the Armed Police Force have won one victory after another with the party’s flag as the flag and the party’s direction as the direction.
From the words of the team leader, we can clearly feel the loyalty pulse of the armed police force to listen to the party’s command and follow.
Entering the History Museum of the Armed Police Force, the rich history unfolds slowly – this is a heroic force that was conceived under the banner of the August 1st Army, was born when New China was founded, and advanced in the spring breeze of reform and opening up. Its growth and growth echo the progress of the People’s Army and go along the way; its historical development is closely related to national security.
This is a historic moment worth remembering. On January 10, 2018, at the Bayi Building in Beijing, President Xi presented the flag and delivered a lecture to the Armed Police Force, giving the Armed Police Force the mission of "two maintenance" in the new era.
This is the highest political honor of the Armed Police Force, and it is also a great encouragement to the officers and soldiers. It is also the general order to lead and promote the construction of a strong modern armed police force, marking a new starting point for the construction and development of the Armed Police Force, embarking on a new journey, and opening a new era.
"Reforming and strengthening the army is the requirement of the times to realize the Chinese dream of strengthening the army, the only way to strengthen the army and rejuvenate the army, and the path to build a strong modern armed police force." The party committee of the armed police force understands it deeply.
In 2018, the Armed Police Force broke through the difficulty of cross-military and land reform, successfully completed the transfer of gold, water and electricity, forest troops and police academies, and the Coast Guard team, Coast Guard Academy and some public security border defense forces received recruitment.
"Resolutely obey the party’s orders, and always be a loyal guardian of the party and the people…" This was the slogan shouted by the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Squadron of the Fushun Armed Police Detachment on duty at the beginning of the year when they studied the precepts. In this post deep in the Changbai Mountains, everyone took the precepts to heart.
A drop of water can reflect the brilliance of the sun, and small outposts reflect the general weather of the troops.
Focusing on studying and implementing the Supreme Leader’s ideology of strengthening the military, the Party Committee of the Armed Police Force has taken various measures to conduct extensive political work research and political capacity building –
From carrying out the theme education of "inheriting the red gene and taking on the important task of strengthening the army" to "three entries" in colleges and universities, from the theoretical learning of the central group leading the organs to the theoretical rotation training of military teachers and cadres, to ensure that the supreme leader’s idea of strengthening the army is rooted in the souls of officers and soldiers.
From formulating measures to fully and thoroughly implement the responsibility system of the chairperson of the Military Commission to the mid-term adjustment of the "13th Five-Year Plan", from designing and arranging the "New Three Steps" of the Armed Police Force to clarifying the "Eight Systems" of modernization, the top-level design and layout have been thoroughly implemented in the Supreme Leader’s idea of strengthening the military.
From the competition to cut gold and silver to the major security foolproof, from the special project to prepare the troops to be fully loaded to the effective stimulation of the fighting spirit of officers and soldiers, and then to strengthen the construction of combat-type rear equipment, to promote the supreme leader’s strong army thought in the army construction.
The sails of reform are high, and the pace of strengthening the army is firm. Facing the new era, new system, new mission, and new journey, the officers and men of the Armed Police Force are obeying the party’s command with higher standards and accelerating construction and development with greater intensity.
Prepare for battle and take a new step forward
Hundreds of rivers compete for the flow, and those who strive for the river are the first; those who strike the water in the middle stream, and those who advance bravely win.
The courage to fight is a common trait of the officers and soldiers of the armed police force. During the review and training, the two generals forgot their duties, age and pain, and lived, trained and suffered with the officers and soldiers. They said: "A military parade is not a war, but it should be treated according to the standard of training and preparation."
The hinterland of Yanshan, not far from the military parade training ground, used to be the battlefield where the sons and daughters of China fought in blood and resisted foreign humiliation.
On October 22, 2018, the cameras of the media from all over the world focused on this land with turbulent history – the "Blade-2018" international sniper shooting competition hosted by the Armed Police Force kicked off here. More than 100 sniper elites from similar military and police forces in 21 countries, including China, Belarus, Israel, and others, gathered here to start the peak showdown between experts.
This courage and confidence to fight against first-class experts and the same strong players comes from the high degree of self-awareness of following orders and the motivation and motivation of the mission and task of the new era.
On January 3, 2018, President Xi issued instructions to the entire army.
"Firmly establish a clear orientation for training and preparation, vigorously promote actual combat military training, and continuously improve the ability to win in the new era." The Party Committee of the Armed Police Force deeply comprehended, and the officers and men moved on the order and threw themselves into training and preparation with high enthusiasm.
Standing in the first row, leading the first team, firing the first shot, throwing the first shot… The leaders of the Party Committee of the Armed Police Force participated in the whole training of the whole army, the "Guard" series of exercises and the centralized training of the organs, releasing a strong signal of practical training.
This is a corrective action to promote the troops to refocus their work and return to their true functions – in August 2018, a discussion on the identification and cleaning up of "peace shortcomings" was in full swing in the Armed Police Force.
With the deepening of 28 types of problems in 8 aspects and the implementation of 38 rectification measures in 10 aspects, the general awareness of officers and soldiers has been enhanced; through the continuous organization of 10 waves of education and training supervision, more than 80 training issues have been reported and accountable, and the orientation of actual combat training of the army has become more distinct.
For more than a year, the Armed Police Force has been fully focused on the war, and has made solid progress in all aspects of its work.
– – The "Assault" firepower division competition has just ended, and the "Temple Calculation" commander competition has opened the curtain of battle; the "Operation Research" staff competition is in full swing, and the "Martial Instructor" coach competition is in full swing…
– – "Peak" special combat competition, "Blade-2018" international sniper shooting competition, "Devil Week" extreme training… One by one confrontation focused on actual combat.
– – "Warrior Competition" International Special Forces Competition, "Great Wall-2019" Anti-Terrorism International Forum… The results of the league joint training are gratifying.
The new era endows new missions, and new tasks show new style. The officers and men of the Armed Police Force gather together to train and prepare for battle, faithfully perform their duties, and ensure that they are called upon, can fight, and can win.
Governing the army according to law and establishing a new image of the army
Mighty phalanx, majestic momentum. As soon as the armed police force appeared, it attracted people’s attention like a magnet.
Compared with previous military parades, the order of appearance of the armed police force has been advanced. This is a new appearance after the adjustment of the leadership and command system, which puts forward higher requirements for the style and image of the army. Major General Zhang Weiguo, the leader of the square, said: "The good image of the armed police force after the adjustment and reform must be displayed through our words, deeds and every move."
Walking in the armed police force squadron, you can feel the excellent style of the officers and soldiers anytime, anywhere. No matter which team member, whether it is for exercise or dinner, the team members are in a straight line plus squares in a row of two or three.
The beautiful scenery has witnessed the good work style of the armed police force. The officers and soldiers under review are using their hard work and sweat to show the good image of the armed police force listening to the party’s command, winning battles, and having a good style.
Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, where the "August 1st" military flag was raised.
In July 2018, the Armed Police Force implemented the new regulations and conducted training here. In the sweaty season, the military appearance on the playground was strict and the stars were shining.
In this training camp, more than 200 leading cadres in the military and division occupations lived in class dormitories, ate in collective canteens, lived in companies, and were ordinary soldiers. The training practice quickly spread to the whole army, with strict words on the head and law in the heart.
Party committees at all levels have been continuously strengthening their sense of authenticity, adhering to the inward-looking and problem-oriented approach, and publicly commenting on the team and cadres with a strict and serious attitude. The political ecology has shown a gratifying situation in Haiyan and Heqing.
For more than a year, the Armed Police Force has strictly regulated the political life within the party, and members of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee at all levels have strictly implemented the dual organizational life, taking the lead in giving party lessons to the army, holding democratic life meetings, and strictly enforcing the system of life within the party.
For more than a year, the Armed Police Force has taken a strict approach to selecting and employing personnel, and completed a comprehensive assessment of military personnel.
Over the past year, the Armed Police Force has deepened the popularization of the 8 basic norms of safety work, promoted the rectification of 12 major and difficult problems, and firmly adhered to the bottom line of safety work…
The order is forbidden, and the discipline is like iron. Strictly governing the army has established new standards, the police barracks are in a breeze, and the armed police force is fully built.
The long river of time never stops; the journey of struggle will always move forward. The officers and men of the Armed Police Force will keep in mind the strategic requirements of "multi-functional integration, effective stability maintenance", focus on the mission of "two maintenance", never forget the original intention, forge ahead, and make unremitting efforts to build a strong modern armed police force.
