Recently, the General Political Department issued the "Regulations", requiring the whole army and the Armed Police Force to organize leading cadres and government cadres at or above the regimental level to live in prison as soldiers. This is a powerful measure for our army to close the relationship between superiors and subordinates, and it is also the return and development of the traditional style of unity between officers and men of our army. Sun Tzu's Art of War said: "If you want to be the same, you will win." How can our army achieve the same desire under the new historical conditions? Leading cadres should be both commanders and combatants, which is the fundamental way. Leading cadres should not only master and guide the soldiers' thoughts at all times, but also help and care for the soldiers sincerely. They should also be "veterans" who have an example and demonstration role and always unite closely with the soldiers. Therefore, no matter what position he lives in, this official often goes to the soldiers, leads an ordinary soldier's life, temper his excellent quality as a soldier, and mingle with the soldiers. This is a compulsory course to close the relationship between officers and soldiers. As early as 1958, General Xu, then commander of the Nanjing Military Region, changed into a soldier's costume and took the lead in enlisting. At the age of 53, he lived, worked and stood guard with the soldiers. No matter how difficult the training is, he never falls behind and always demands himself strictly as an ordinary soldier. During his one-month service as a soldier, he not only always showed the spirit of a revolutionary veteran who can bear hardships and fight, but also helped, cared for and closely United the soldiers. Xu is an old general and an old soldier who fought bloody battles in the revolutionary war. He is well aware that grass-roots soldiers are the guarantee of the combat effectiveness of the troops, and the unity of officers and men and the same desire from top to bottom are extremely important factors for our army to win the revolutionary war. Indeed, in times of war, cadres often charge first and then suffer. Often help soldiers carry guns and backpacks when marching; When I arrived at the campsite, I was busy washing and soaking the soldiers' feet. Soldiers are asleep, but cadres are not. They have to check the rest of the soldiers, cover their corners and drive away mosquitoes. When there is a shortage of food, I would rather starve myself than let the soldiers eat first ... Similarly, in ancient China, troops who attached importance to the unity of officers and men and were in cahoots all had strong combat effectiveness. The most important reason why the "Yue Jiajun" in the early Southern Song Dynasty was invincible was that they shared a common desire. Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general in Ming Dynasty, took Yue Jiajun as an example and often instilled in officers and men the truth that the enemy should not be "shaken". He said: "In the Song Dynasty, the enemy called Yue Zhongwu Army, saying: It is easy to shake the mountain, but difficult to shake the Yue family army! Sergeant Fu, with only a hundred pounds of strength, how can it be harder than a mountain? " He believes that this is because Yue Jiajun can "single-mindedly sergeant ten thousand people". He has always paid attention to cultivating the spirit of unity and mutual assistance between officers and men, and led the "Qijiajun" to fight nearly 100 battles without losing, with few casualties. War experience and revolutionary practice tell us that a harmonious relationship between officers and men is the basis of victory. If we can firmly grasp the fundamentals of the army, generals and political parties, we will all gain a powerful force to defeat the enemy; Once we deviate from this fundamental principle, the loss of strength is inevitable, and the crisis and failure will follow. 18 15, Napoleon lamented after the fiasco in Waterloo: "I haven't had soup with soldiers for a long time!" "This heartfelt sigh is both a warning and a lesson for us. Therefore, with the rapid development of military weapons and equipment technology and the complicated and changeable international struggle environment, it is particularly important to close the relationship between superiors and subordinates. As the saying goes, "being a soldier is useless for a hundred years, and you can't forget it for one day." "The army is a guarantee for safeguarding the territorial integrity of the country and the safety of people's lives and property. Without the strong cohesion of officers and men, it is absolutely impossible to build a strong people's army. Cadres at all levels should really put down their airs and jump down when they are soldiers. Only by being a soldier in thought and a soldier in life can we form a strong fighting capacity and effectively promote the early realization of the "strong military dream." "
