After 91 years of stormy journey, looking back on the vicissitudes of 91 years, generations of revolutionary soldiers forged the bright background of the "combat team" of the people’s army with their heroic determination to dare to fight and win, and cast their ability and responsibility to defend peace. When the smoke of war stops temporarily and the drums and horns seem to be ringing far away, whether it can effectively eliminate the accumulated disadvantages of peace and eradicate the accumulated habits of peace, and whether it can arouse the fighting culture of studying and preparing for war wholeheartedly determines the future and destiny of the army and profoundly affects the future and destiny of the country and the nation. one Peace is the highest praise for the army, but indulging in peace is the biggest enemy of the army. For the army, the theme of life should always be war and preparation for war. In a long-term peaceful environment, there is no test of life and death, and there is little collision between iron and fire, which is easy to make officers and men have peace paralysis thoughts, dilute their sense of hardship, weaken their fighting spirit and relax their guard. The "taste of war", "militancy" and "bloodiness" are gradually worn away and even quietly receded in a peaceful sound. The gentle killer of peaceful environment has eroded and weakened the combat effectiveness of the army and reduced and offset the fighting culture. In a sense, it is even more severe than war. If any army loses its worries, its blood fades, its enjoyment prevails, and its thinking of living is serious, it will not stand the test of actual combat, and it will lose itself without fighting and embark on an lamentable and irreparable road. History has repeatedly warned the world that it is not difficult to cultivate a fighting culture. What is difficult is to always maintain a high-spirited fighting atmosphere and a strong fighting spirit even if there is no war for a long time. Once the "beacon tower" in the hearts of soldiers collapses, the Great Wall of the country will exist in name only. Throughout the ages, how many tigers and wolves have been brave and good at fighting, but in peacetime, they lost to yingge Yanwu, drunk and fascinated, and finally became vulnerable. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he "collected the soldiers from all over the world, gathered in Xianyang, sold the dysprosium, and cast it as the Golden Man Twelve"; Tang Xuanzong’s "Kaiyuan Shengshi" enjoyed peace in the ruling and opposition parties, which led to the abandonment of military equipment and the martial arts. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the martial arts culture was not prosperous, and the country was rich and the army was weak. All these will lead to civil strife or death from foreign invasion. Drunk and peaceful, it is the army that destroys, and ultimately it is the country that pits and the people who suffer. Most of the decline of an army began with the breeding of peace and accumulated disadvantages. The smell of smoke is getting weaker, the taste of life is getting stronger, the worries are lacking, the war is forgotten, the fighting culture is lost, and the peaceful habits are accumulated. Such an army is bound to perish. The mighty Roman Legion fought all over Europe, Asia and Africa, but by the 4th century AD, Roman Legion soldiers were addicted to wine fields, baths and arenas for leisure and entertainment, and their fighting spirit was eroded and their spirit slackened because they didn’t think about fighting for a long time, and they were finally defeated by a small German allied force. The soldiers of the Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty were also brave and invincible. "Attacking is the first, fighting is brave, and they are as powerful as thunder and as powerful as the wind." However, in the long-term singing and dancing, the military generals put their swords into storage, indulged in happiness, and put the practice of riding and shooting behind them, and their combat effectiveness plummeted. A peaceful environment has always been the well-being of the country and the aspiration of the people, but the accumulated disadvantages of peace are the biggest "corrosive agent" of the army’s combat effectiveness, and the enjoyment of peace is the biggest "pollution source" of the loss of military combat culture. President Xi profoundly pointed out that the army should fully understand the complexity and severity of the national security situation and strengthen the idea of being ready for war at any time. To cultivate and stir up a fighting culture is to make every soldier not only understand the importance of war, but also understand that a peaceful environment is a possible gentle killer, understand the hidden worries below prosperity and the threats behind peace, and even more, know how to seize the favorable opportunity of peace, prepare for war, and build a strong military strength that can resist aggression and maintain peace. two The fighting culture contains sober judgment on the security situation, profound thinking on winning and winning, and value recognition of the fighting spirit, which is a bright symbol of an army. Once the fighting culture becomes a common practice, the accumulated disadvantages of peace will be reduced; Once the fighting culture is reduced to form, the accumulated disadvantages of peace will breed and spread. Our army is first and foremost a combat team, and preparing for war is the main responsibility. Occam’s razor law puts forward that "if it is unnecessary, don’t add entities". In short, it is to concentrate on improving the core functions of an organization and always concentrate resources on useful things. To improve the combat effectiveness of the army and break through the fetters of peace, the army also needs such a razor to cut off all "reins" that have nothing to do with preparing for war. At present, officers and men criticize formalism and the "Five-odd" problem too much, the organs are in a hurry to complain, and the grassroots are in a hurry to complain, which seriously interferes with the main business. If thinking can’t turn to the orientation of "fighting for war", work will be surrounded by bureaucratic style. To cultivate the fighting culture, the first thing is to establish a clear orientation and cultivate a good thinking mode of preparing for war, insist on focusing all work on war and tilting all resources to war, and focus on and invest in "chores" closely related to combat effectiveness construction, which have little to do with combat effectiveness construction, and resolutely suppress and reduce them to ensure that officers and men are single-minded in fighting and practicing. Fighting culture is directed at the core of combat effectiveness, and it has a distinct directivity. It is by no means an empty thinking and value judgment, but an important spiritual support that deeply embodies the inner temperament of soldiers. The fighting spirit of "one is not afraid of suffering, and the other is not afraid of death" has given our army a strong cohesion and fighting capacity, and has also made the enemy fearful. In 1950, on the Korean battlefield, the Eighth Army of the United States was defeated in the second battle initiated by our volunteers. After Li Qiwei took over as commander of the Eighth Army, he criticized his subordinates for their lack of fighting spirit at a meeting of senior cadres: "Look at the Chinese Communist army, they always March at night, they are used to living a poor life, and even eat raw corn and boiled soybeans. But what about us? Our army can’t fight without the road. We don’t pay attention to occupying the highlands along the way. We don’t get familiar with the terrain and use it. We don’t want to throw away the cars that cause heavy casualties to the troops and walk instead. We don’t dare to go deep into the mountains and jungles to fight in the enemy’s quarters. " A new generation of officers and men who have been influenced by peace for a long time, if they can’t consciously resist hedonism, will be infected with "peace disease" and become "master soldiers", which is always worthy of our deep thinking and vigilance. Remodeling does not forget the solid foundation, and innovation is rooted in inheritance. In the face of profound changes in the conditions of the times, the rising military revolution, and unprecedented opportunities and challenges, we still have to grasp that war is a comprehensive competition between material and spiritual forces, inherit the important magic weapon of "one is not afraid of suffering, and the other is not afraid of death", and effectively let the fighting culture penetrate the training ground and integrate into life, so that officers and men can bid farewell to comfort and sharpen their fighting skills. three Fighting culture is not only a kind of spiritual bearing, but also a kind of spiritual guidance, which has a distinct era and can lead the construction and development of military combat effectiveness. Looking back at history, why was the Beiyang Navy, which was well equipped, completely annihilated in the Sino-Japanese War? One of the deep-seated reasons is that there is a "cultural blind spot" in the cognition of advanced technology, and it is impossible to jump out of the circle of old-fashioned thinking, not familiar with the mechanism of naval warfare, and lacking in war preparation. What soldiers plan and prepare can only be tomorrow’s war, or even the day after tomorrow. Today’s war is the result of yesterday’s thinking, and tomorrow’s war is the product of today’s thinking design. It is also an important manifestation of the accumulated disadvantages of peace not to think about tomorrow’s war and plan the construction of combat effectiveness from the perspective of development. The Dutch philosopher von Pearson once said that culture is not a noun, but a verb; Culture must become more dynamic and pay more attention to future orientation. The same is true for the cultivation of fighting culture, which requires innovative thinking facing the future. Technical equipment constitutes the material basis of combat power, and the form of combat culture reflects the cognitive power, driving power and digging power of the technical value of equipment, which constitutes the internal essential power of the combat power system. Whether we can grasp the pulse of the era of "scientific and technological revolution" and turn military technological advantages into the initiative spirit of designing wars requires the strong tempering and forward-looking guidance of combat culture. In the information age, "the knight of King Arthur’s court took the butt of an M-16 automatic rifle to smash his opponent’s head", which is tantamount to carving a boat for a sword and bring disgrace to oneself. Soldiers in the new era must master the winning mechanism of modern warfare, actively study and design wars, so that the fighting culture can be deeply integrated with military theory, military technology and organizational form, so that all the fighting elements can compete with generate in vitality at a higher level, and the fighting effectiveness can be fully demonstrated. "No matter how heavy the country is, it must be won by the soldiers." In order to stir up the fighting culture in the new era, we should not only vigorously get rid of the accumulated disadvantages of peace that restrict the development of combat effectiveness, but also strive to create an innovative engine to win future wars, because victory will only smile at those who can see it before it happens and know it before it happens.
