Chen Changfeng is not afraid of risks and challenges the limits.

Chen Changfeng: Everything can start all over again, except war. If you want to defeat your opponent in one fell swoop in the future battlefield, you must first constantly defeat yourself.

The night sea is like ink. A huge landing ship formation full of heavily armored combat vehicles quietly sailed to a certain sea area under the cover of night. After a night's voyage, the formation approached the scheduled sea area before dawn.

This is another cross-service joint landing exercise led by Chen Changfeng. On board, amphibious armored soldiers are ready to go. As long as they give the order, the soldiers can jump into the sea and attack Huanglong!

The exercise entered the countdown, but the sea situation changed suddenly, and the sea situation far exceeded the performance limit of amphibious tanks and amphibious vehicles.

Can you still go to sea? The exercise command called to ask.

A peacetime exercise is a war, not to mention a little storm, even a deep end! Chen Changfeng replied flatly. His armored chariot 00 1 jumped into the rough sea first. Brave and good at fighting, officers and men rode iron horses to fight against rapids, broke through dangerous beaches and obstacles, and captured the enemy beachhead position in one fell swoop with lightning speed.

If you are an iron soldier, you should dare to take risks, challenge the restricted area and break through the limit. Chen Changfeng said: Everything can start all over again, except war. If you want to defeat your opponent in one fell swoop in the future battlefield, you must first constantly defeat yourself.

A new type of chariot entered the water for the first time after being equipped with troops, but the factory owner who came to protect it was afraid to board the car and go to sea. Because this type of chariot has only been tested in the reservoir from development and design to finalized production, the other side dare not risk their lives in the face of the turbulent sea.

Look at me! Chen Changfeng waved his hand and sailed across the sea with the soldiers. The chariot roared and rushed to the sea. A wave came, only the turret was exposed on the water, and the seawater began to leak through the gap. The driver Lu Yongguo's heart was in his throat. Chen Changfeng, however, seemed calm and firmly in command. With a fearless spirit, the performance of the chariot was tested and valuable sea driving experience was accumulated. When the returnees came, the driver Xiao Lu blushed and said, If the Colonel is not in the car, maybe I will abandon the car and jump into the sea.

However, the leap from Land Rover to Hailong cannot be achieved overnight. At a sea training, eight chariots of a certain type turned off one after another, and the chariots that lost power drifted with the tide and were in danger. Not long ago, a chariot of the same model in the brother army stalled and crashed into the sea during training.

After careful analysis, Chen Changfeng came to the conclusion that the reason for the flameout of the chariot was that the new type of chariot was equipped with troops for a short time, and there was a lack of running-in between officers and soldiers and equipment. Not only did he not let the accident tie his hands and feet, but he increased the intensity and difficulty of training at sea. He chose to go out to sea on a stormy day, deliberately turned off the fire at sea, and then organized self-help and towing. After running in with the new equipment, the officers and men quickly came out of the shadow of the accident.

Military scientists say that first-class troops design wars, second-rate troops prepare for wars, and third-rate troops handle wars. Chen Changfeng, as the team leader, lists a number of tactical research topics every year and organizes tackling key problems. In the past three years, he has compiled 43 new equipment training instructions and 7 new equipment teaching materials, and explored more than 20 new tactics and new training methods, such as how to clear the remaining obstacles in the frontal channel, the shooting of armored vehicle occupants, and the rapid shooting of tank artillery. He has independently written or co-authored 3 military papers (kloc-0), including Research on the Application of Amphibious Armored Forces in Joint Operations, Research on Information Warfare of Synthetic Armored Battalion, Attack of Armed Helicopter by Amphibious Tanks, Reflections on Normalization, Field Operation and Actual Combat of Marine Forces, and Research on the Application of Amphibious Armored Forces in Joint Landing Operations, etc. Three academic papers won prizes in the navy. He devoted himself to the research and exploration of amphibious mechanized formation, landed on the beach in tidal waves and lots for many times, seized and consolidated the landing results in a three-dimensional, continuous and transcendental assault, and was successfully tested in major naval exercises.

With the modernization of amphibious fighters, some old ideas and customs that have been formed for a long time have gradually become bottlenecks restricting the growth of combat effectiveness. Chen Changfeng led the officers and men to break away from convention, go forward bravely, constantly explore and break through the restricted area, and constantly challenge and exceed the limit. Every exploration needs great courage, every challenge is full of passion for innovation, and every transcendence has entered a new realm.

-Swimming training is a compulsory course for amphibious officers and soldiers. In the past, in order to ensure safety, there was an unwritten rule in the group: the swimming training depth should not exceed 1.5 meters. Flogging in shallow water is safe, but there are always some officers and men who can't pass the sea swimming and military swimming subjects. Chen Changfeng drove the officers and men into the sea and trained them step by step. Finally, everyone from the head to the private can swim 5000 meters at sea, and the swimming performance of the two companies has set a new record for the whole trip many times.

-Performing outside is the specialty of the Marine Corps. In the past, in order to welcome foreign performances, the army often concentrated top performers on the stage. Chen Changfeng organically combines foreign performance with actual combat training, which not only highlights the field nature, embodies the antagonism, but also has certain ornamental value. Moreover, all the participating officers and men appeared in the organizational system, which fully recognized the value and ability of each officer and soldier. In February 2005, he was ordered to lead an amphibious landing performance for 56 military attaché s in China. Under the cover of helicopters, amphibious tanks and amphibious chariots broke through obstacles and landed. Fierce confrontation and hot scenes have won the praise of military attaché s from all over the world.

-Field training is a common practice for amphibious armored forces. In the past, when troops entered the training ground, banners and colorful flags were hung everywhere, and carefully decorated sand sculptures and slogans spelled with colored stones could be seen everywhere. Chen Changfeng is quite dissatisfied with this changed battlefield propaganda and position culture. The troops marched to fight, paying attention to not seeing in the mountains and hiding in the sea. This is not a fight, but a performance! His first emphasis in training is field work, actual combat and regularization. As long as the troops move, they will use the terrain, jungle, camouflage, camouflage nets to hide people's eyes and ears, and make a diversion, and the atmosphere of troops marching and fighting suddenly becomes strong.

Battlefield self-rescue is the basic skill of armored forces. In the past, when the tank broke down in training, the crew often acted as the shopkeeper of cutting. Chen Changfeng broke away from convention and made it clear that equipment failure must be repaired according to the authority, and other people who taught themselves by the occupier were not allowed to intervene. He said: It is better to lie down now than to lie down under the eyes of the enemy in the future! Force the crew to delve into new equipment knowledge.

-Agricultural sideline production is an old tradition of the army. In the past, every company in the regiment had to raise pigs and grow vegetables, but the troops trained outside for a long time, and the grass in the vegetable field grew taller than the vegetables. Chen Changfeng ordered the vegetable field to be transformed into a garden lawn and a sports training ground. I was reminded that agricultural sideline is an old tradition of the army, and it is not easy to explain it to the above if it is lost. Chen Changfeng said: Training for thousands of days will be used in wartime. The marine corps is a combat force, and it is even more impossible to explain to the people if they can't win!

……

When a foreign general visited the Marine Corps, he once said: An army that dares to face up to its own shortcomings and never satisfies the status quo will be invincible. It is through defeating and surpassing himself again and again that Chen Changfeng has made the amphibious combat capability of the troops jump again and again.

In the autumn of 2002, on an island in the South China Sea. Armored chariots lined up in a long steel queue on the beach, waiting to be loaded on board. The exercise will be held the next day. But at the moment, the fleet commander and several generals are frowning. Due to the bad sea conditions in the original loading area, the floating ferry loading wave is too big, and the landing ship can't get close to the beach at all.

It's getting dark The amphibious armored regiment is the first echelon of landing operations. If it can't be loaded on time, the exercise will be postponed. Chen Changfeng was ordered to order the troops to move the loading place overnight. Suddenly, a dense masson pine forest blocked the way, making it difficult for heavy chariots to climb mountains and cross the sea. Chen Changfeng, who once walked alone for 28 kilometers in the German virgin forest, led the officers and men to fight their way out in the 3 km wide masson pine forest. ...

The next morning, a huge armored motorcade miraculously appeared at the seaside. Within half an hour, dozens of chariots were all loaded into the car and went to the sea battlefield.
