Starting from the deputy company commander of the Soldier Assault Team

It must be said that great men are truly great, like a generation's pride.

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, the army led by the great leader did not have a systematic concept and theory of psychology.

However, the methods for leading, training, and uniting troops that the great leader summarized from the practical experience of revolutionary war are essentially in line with the core principles of psychology.

These localized and combat-oriented psychological development strategies not only forged the army's fighting spirit and cohesion but also became an important practical foundation for the later development of military psychology in our army.

There are no theoretical terms, but it hits the psychological core, and the method is simple yet extremely effective.

The question of "for whom to fight and why to fight" aligns perfectly with the core principle in modern psychology that value identification is the driving force behind individual behavior.

The War of Resistance was fought to protect the country and enable ordinary people to live a better life. Meetings to express grievances and so on would give soldiers a strong sense of belonging and fighting motivation.

An atmosphere of equality between officers and soldiers builds a strong foundation of psychological trust.

The revolutionary family unites the soldiers with a sense of collective belonging, which aligns with the core principles of group psychology.

The link between collective honor and individual value, along with the establishment of honors such as combat heroes and model platoons, helps soldiers understand that their individual efforts can bring glory to the collective, and that the collective's honor is their personal honor.

Linking individual achievement with collective value aligns with the psychological principle that individuals who realize their self-worth within a group generate stronger behavioral motivation, and is also an important psychological source of fighting spirit.

Practical experience hones combat willpower in line with the core principles of stress psychology.

After enlisting, new recruits are quickly engaged in small-group combat and guerrilla warfare, getting used to the sounds of gunfire, smoke, and casualties of the battlefield in low-intensity combat.

Gradually increasing psychological tolerance to war and avoiding psychological collapse when suddenly faced with high-intensity battlefield conditions is the simplest and most effective form of psychological desensitization training.

……

There are countless similar methods, demonstrating that practice precedes theory and that principles are hidden in action.

This explains why soldiers in Western armies have a high incidence of PTSD, while those in our army have very low rates.

Because collectivism and humanistic care have become a natural buffer for PTSD among our soldiers.

……

The soldiers of the Seventh Steel Company ran five kilometers with shouts of excitement. Most of them still had energy. When the platoon leader Yun Zheng saw this, he thought, "Wow, they have so much energy."

With a wave of his hand, he said, "We still have time before dinner, so let's run eight more laps, adding another three kilometers."

"Platoon leader, platoon leader, eight laps..." A soldier heard Yun Zheng shout this for the first time and was about to speak subconsciously.

"Shut up." An old soldier with two limps grabbed him.

Yun Zheng chuckled, "Who was that just now? What did they want to say? Speak boldly. We're not a one-man show, are we?"

The second squad leader quickly replied, "Reporting to the platoon leader, a soldier's belt was loose just now, but it's nothing serious."

"Oh, that's good. Let's run then." Yun Zheng chuckled. Of course he knew, but he found that the deputy company commander's tactics were really effective.

……

After dinner, Shi Jin led Xu Sanduo in continuing their extra training for the day.

After watching the video in the afternoon, Xu Sanduo's mood was not quite right. Shi Jin was also leading him in extra training while thinking about how to comfort him.

"Squad leader, I know what I need to do from now on." At this moment, Xu Sanduo smiled, revealing his signature big white teeth.

Shi Jin flashed his signature gentle smile. "That's great, Sanduo. What are you thinking about for the future?"

"Squad leader, when I watched those videos this afternoon, I don't know why, but I felt really upset. When I saw those bastards, I just wanted to kill them."

I'm thinking of practicing hard and learning skills properly in the future.

What you mean by living well is doing meaningful things, and doing meaningful things is living well.

Now I understand that the most meaningful thing is to hone my skills in killing the enemy, defend my country, and protect the people; that is, to live a good life.

Xu Sanduo spoke with increasing determination and fluency, his posture upright, like a long spear planted in the ground.

Shi Jin laughed heartily, "Good, well said, Sanduo, you've grown up."

At this moment, Shi Jin felt as gratified as if he were watching his son finally become a pillar supporting the family.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!

"Well said, Xu Sanduo." Zhang Anbang, who was passing by, was also very satisfied with what Xu Sanduo said. This Xu Mumu has really grown up, just like he analyzed in the afternoon.

"Then you can't relax from now on; you have to train hard."

Only when you transform all your anger into skill will you have sufficient ability to fight enemies or criminals in the future.

If you improve your shooting skills, you can kill the enemy sooner and protect our people sooner.

If you master hand-to-hand combat, you'll be better able to subdue your enemies when dealing with bad guys.

"Yes, Deputy Company Commander, I understand. I will definitely train harder in the future. But will I encounter enemies like this again in the future?"

Xu Sanduo made a firm promise with his eyes and then raised his own question.

Shi Jin smiled but didn't speak. Zhang Anbang nodded matter-of-factly, "Of course there are. The peaceful and tranquil times are naturally because someone is bearing the burden."

Zhang Anbang paused for a moment, then continued, "For tasks like cracking down on drug traffickers, the police are usually the ones to handle them."

However, occasional cross-border attacks by foreign armed forces, smuggling and drug trafficking across the border, and small-scale infiltrations require the deployment of troops to confront the enemy directly.

Such operations are mainly defensive countermeasures, expulsions, and clearing operations, as well as counter-terrorism operations and stability maintenance and control, although the core force is Lao Wu's brothers.

However, it is common practice to draw elite army units for standby reinforcement and form a joint operations system; that is when our combat capabilities are tested.

In the dim light, Xu Sanduo's eyes lit up. "Deputy Company Commander, is there any more?"

He had never heard of many of the things the deputy company commander mentioned. He should read more books in the future, books that can broaden one's horizons.

"Not bad, not bad, this Xu Mumu has really been developed, she seems to have a promising future," Zhang Anbang said with a thumbs up, and continued.

"Regarding military operations, the global situation is generally stable at present, but local conflicts have never stopped."

Look at the Middle East; ever since the Gulf War in 1991, things have never been stable.

On December 6, 1988, China joined the United Nations Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations, officially gaining official status to participate in peacekeeping affairs.

In April 5, our troops dispatched five military observers to the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO), marking the beginning of the Chinese military's participation in UN peacekeeping operations.

In April 1992, China dispatched a peacekeeping engineering battalion of 400 personnel to the United Nations Interim Authority in Cambodia, marking the first time China had deployed a complete unit to participate in a peacekeeping operation.

Other countries had already organized their own peacekeeping forces much earlier, as is the case with the Suez Canal crisis.

Although the peacekeeping forces now mainly consist of those from Western countries such as the US, Germany, and the US.

Our country mainly sends military observers, staff officers, and engineers—non-combat peacekeeping personnel.

Zhang Anbang raised an eyebrow at the two of them as he spoke, "But who knows what will happen in the future, don't you think?"

Shi Jin and Xu Sanduo's eyes lit up immediately. Every soldier with ambition dreams of making a name for themselves and establishing their own family lineage...

Besides the two of them, Zhang Anbang also heard a slapping sound. Judging from his hearing, it was the sound of someone slapping their own hand when they were excited or angry.

He glanced over and saw two figures standing by a tree not far away; he could tell who they were just by looking at their builds.

Zhang Anbang smiled and ignored them, saying he would talk to them later.

Shi Jin patted Xu Sanduo on the shoulder, "Sanduo, you need to keep practicing hard."

"Yes, squad leader."

"Deputy Company Commander, I will definitely train harder from now on, train like crazy."

"Hmm, not bad," Zhang Anbang patted Xu Sanduo on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Xu Sanduo isn't good at talking; he's someone who habitually puts all his emotions into concrete actions.

He is kind at heart; he cannot bear to see innocent people suffer, which is why he gets angry. He is a Chinese, and now he is a Chinese soldier.

His new goal is to live well, and to regard honing his skills in killing enemies, protecting his home and country, and safeguarding the people as the most meaningful things.

This is a long-term goal, and he is a stubborn person. In the days to come, the anger brought by that image will turn into extra motivation for him to train hard and carry out missions.

Since he said that, then we really don't need to pay too much attention to this child anymore; we can just wait for the results.

"Xiao Qi, why are you walking so fast? Come on, come on, have a smoke," the figure on the main road beside the tree strode up to catch up. It was Gao Cheng and Wu Liuyi.

"Company Commander, get to the point. I'm really not used to you laughing like that."

"What you just said was true?" Gao Cheng's smile vanished abruptly, as he was once again being mocked by this kid.

"What's real or fake?"

"About that peacekeeping mission?" Wu Liuyi couldn't help but ask directly.

Looking at the two faces filled with urgency, Zhang Anbang chuckled, "Is that all? I didn't know anything about it."

Gao Cheng's face immediately fell. He had never heard of Zhang Anbang, so how could he possibly know?

"I guessed that as China's international influence grows stronger, it would be inevitable that we would do something like this to demonstrate our responsibility as a major power sooner or later."

"That's true. It seems we still need to practice hard. When the opportunity comes, our chances of being selected will be greater." Gao Cheng muttered, his face quickly regaining its luster.
