Military Documentary： No.360 Scholar No.2 Company Commander Glasses
Zhang Lu: Hello, audience and friends. Welcome to Military Documentary. In today’s No.1 Military Scholar 360, we will tell you a story nicknamed "Company Commander Glasses".
Guest: The company commander with glasses is mainly because he wears a pair of big glasses. There is nothing special about this in itself, but such a weak-looking company commander uses a powerful weapon-flamethrower.
Zhang Lu: To say how powerful it is, I have such a set of numbers here. Forty, eighty and one hundred and thirty. I wonder what you will associate with it. Forty, can you guess what it means?
Guest: Is he forty years old? Looks like an old company commander.
Zhang Lu: Hehe, what? I’m actually very young. Actually, 40 refers to the weight of the flamethrower, 80 is the effective shooting distance, and 130 represents a strong recoil.
Guest: It sounds very powerful, but if you say you can’t see it, you won’t feel it. What’s this flamethrower like? Is the glasses company commander handsome? Why don’t we look at our eyes first-
Small pieces—
The flamethrower is the main weapon of the pyrotechnic company. The burning oil it ejects forms a flame jet, which can splash around and turn along the trench and tunnel to kill the target in the shelter. At the same time, because combustion consumes a lot of oxygen and produces toxic gases, the enemies in the fortifications are suffocated.

It mainly relies on this high-temperature flame to kill the enemy’s caves, basements and shelters. Some enemies that are not easy for infantry to destroy are effective, and the flame emitted by the flamethrower can interfere and destroy the enemy’s infrared and low-light equipment. (3:002700)
Jia Jianping, the company commander of the fireworks company, led the officers and men to complete the fire-breathing task. After graduating from graduate school majoring in chemical defense, officers and men called him "the company commander of glasses". During the exercise, his courage and bravery left a deep impression on the people on the scene. No one could have imagined that just two years ago, Jia Jianping was still a "layman" who shot with fire.

Gentle appearance, I was worried at that time, whether he could adapt to the life of grass-roots troops and bring good soldiers. (3:001137)
According to the rules of the fireworks company, every new company commander must give everyone a fire-breathing shooting performance first, but Jia Jianping knows in his heart that although he graduated from chemical defense, he only studied theoretical knowledge, and he has never been exposed to this kind of flamethrower before.

At that time, so many soldiers shouted, in fact, I hesitated in my heart, but with so many people watching, I sometimes refused to admit defeat. My comrades asked me to fight, so I made a few shots. (1:001336)
Because the recoil of the flamethrower is as high as 130 Jin, it is quite difficult to shoot, so Jia Jianping crustily skin of head and pulled the trigger.

I feel that he is thin, and I have this idea whether he can bear such a big recoil. (2:005500)
Jia Jianping, fireworks company commander of a Red Army Division in Lanzhou Military Region
When I shot the first shot, I pushed my whole body backwards for 15 to 20 centimeters because I was unstable in pressing the gun. I didn’t master the main points well and I was scared out of a sweat. (1:001336)
Jia Jianping missed several shots in a row. Although it doesn’t matter if he can’t shoot well for the first time, such a result makes this competitive graduate company commander feel very embarrassed. In his view, how can he lead troops if he can’t even shoot the flamethrower well? And how can you be worthy of the training of colleges and universities for so many years if you can’t bring soldiers? So he made up his mind to improve his shooting performance.
Scene: Jia Jianping shoots.
Jia Jianping’s glasses each have more than 500 degrees. With thick lenses, how can he get good grades? This has become an urgent problem for Jia Jianping to solve.

When aiming at the flamethrower, he should stick his face to the gun and aim at it. If he sticks his glasses, it will push them aside, and he can’t see the sight, and he can’t see clearly at three o’clock. During every training or fire-breathing, a sweat falling on the glasses will also affect your vision, and if the glasses are blurred, you can’t see clearly. (1:002807)
Soon the officers and men found that the "glasses company commander" was not as weak as it looked, and his training had some "desperate saburo" energy.

I feel that the company commander is not too tired, and I can see him (training) at any time. He can still keep training at noon, including at night, and I can’t see his room turn off the lights before twelve o’clock every night. (2:005830)
Zeng Xin was a fireworks company soldier of a Red Army Division in Lanzhou Military Region.
If he can’t master a movement well, he won’t rest. This is what I saw with my own eyes. He even trained a gun for a hundred times, or two hundred times. (2:003700)
Jia Jianping, fireworks company commander of a Red Army Division in Lanzhou Military Region
A person shooting four shots and five shots a day is more. At that time, I shot at least 20 shots a day by myself, because people’s physical strength is limited after all, and they consume a lot every day. I concentrate on shooting one shot and have to sweat. (1:001600)
What surprised the comrades-in-arms even more was that the performance of the "glasses company commander" in fire-breathing shooting improved rapidly.

After a long time, the error is eliminated by groping. Although the glasses are off, you can find the right point by summarizing them through the frame. You can also type them without glasses. Summarize them again and again, how much they deviate for the first time, and aim by experience after you are ripe. (1:003300)
Three months later, Jia Jianping’s fire-breathing shooting can almost reach a hundred shots, and it will take at least one year for other comrades to achieve such training results.
Soon thy received a task, choose a cadre to represent the whole division to participate in the Lanzhou Military Region fire-breathing professional officer contest, Jia Jianping took the initiative to take part in the contest.
On the day of the contest, Jia Jianping made five out of five and won the first place in the contest for officers majoring in fire fighting in Lanzhou Military Region.
Guest: Wow, that’s so handsome. I was dazzled. Fire fighters are awesome. Especially this glasses company commander, he didn’t touch this flamethrower at first, but how did he make such rapid progress in the future?
Zhang Lu: Look, people have to raise guns hundreds of times a day. Once they raise a gun, they will sweat all over. When you think about it, you must have suffered a lot.
Guest: But I think, what about this man? How much harm does it do to his health if he has been overworked for a long time? This waist, legs and shoulders, are they all injured? Why does he suffer so much?
Zhang Lu: Ha-ha, but you should know that these elite soldiers are all trained hard. He is so strict with himself, and he is unambiguous about the soldiers he takes. So how did he lead the troops?
Guest: Are there some unique skills for training that ordinary people can’t imagine? Let’s continue to look down.
On-site: gun pushing
Jia Jianping knows that it is a great responsibility to organize fire-breathing shooting, so he has to ask himself about every link and action in training.
This is a key step in the professional training of fire-breathing. The purpose is to check whether the shooting action of officers and men is standardized. If the shooter’s action is standardized, it can effectively avoid the recoil of the flamethrower when shooting, otherwise it is likely to cause accidental injury because the shooter’s action is out of control.
Scene: Raise the gun.
Jia Jianping, a company commander of fireworks in a Red Army division in Lanzhou Military Region.
The basic inspection method of our prone position is to check whether the gun is pressed or not. A person lifts his gun up hard. If he pushes hard, the gun usually stays on the ground. If his gun is not pressed tightly, he lifts it and the gun slides down from his shoulder. (1:003900)
Scene: The company commander was lifted.
Lying in the prone position is the simplest shooting positions in fire-breathing shooting, so Jia Jianping’s requirements are particularly high. Every officer and soldier must reach the state of one person and one gun when shooting, and the way to check the integration of one person and one gun is to lift the whole person straight, which is undoubtedly very difficult. Therefore, Jia Jianping always has to demonstrate it for everyone in person.
Scene: Jia Jianping is panting.
In fact, every time I train, Jia Jianping himself is the most tired.
In fire-breathing shooting, the shooter must pull the trigger fiercely before the burning oil can be sprayed out, otherwise the oil will not be sprayed in place and burn near the muzzle, threatening the shooter’s safety. In a training session, the soldier once believed that because of nervousness, he pulled the trigger twice, and the strength of the second one was obviously insufficient.
On-site: The fire came back and Jia Jianping put out the fire.
In the fire fighting, Jia Jianping’s arm accidentally touched the hot barrel, and his arm was burned immediately. However, Jia Jianping did not reprimand Zeng Xin, but patiently told Zeng Xin to shoot the essentials.
On-site:
Jia Jianping: "After the first shot is fired, before the password is given, it is absolutely forbidden to pull the trigger on the second shot. Wait for a moment before you hit it. The second time, you didn’t slam it, intermittently. The ignition tube ignited the first part of the oil, and the subsequent oil was not there. The oil behind the torch in front was led from the front end to the muzzle, which was easy to burn yourself. The next step was to strictly follow the operating rules and pull the trigger when you heard the password."
Often this kind of exhortation is more useful than criticism, and I believed that I have never made such a mistake since then.
Subtitle: Six months later
After continuous shooting training, the officers and men of Fireworks Company achieved excellent shooting results in lying, standing and kneeling positions. However, Jia Jianping was not satisfied. He hoped that officers and men’s shooting would be closer to actual combat, and they could randomly select shooting positions and shooting positions on the battlefield to attack the enemy.

The ultimate effect of training is for practical use. It is impossible to give you a training ground in actual combat, and there are all kinds of terrain. It depends on how you choose the position of the gun rack and how to stabilize the gun rack, which requires higher requirements. (1:005722)
Because such shooting is difficult and dangerous, once an accident occurs, it is easy to cause casualties, so the fireworks company has never conducted such training. Jia Jianping’s proposal was immediately opposed by some people, and many soldiers also had great fear of difficulties. Jia Jianping was under great pressure.
Considering the actual situation of fire-breathing shooting, the higher authorities finally decided to support Jia Jianping in such training.
Zhao made a political commissar of a Red Army Division in Lanzhou Military Region.
If you think about safety purely and blindly, you dare not train, and you dare not train, which will not only affect the combat effectiveness of the troops, but also make it difficult to ensure the safety of the troops. The more you don’t train, the more likely you are to have problems. (3:003700)
Caption: shoot without support, raise your gun and shoot high.
This kind of unsupported shooting and high-altitude shooting is the most difficult and dangerous shooting positions in application shooting. The shooter needs to bear 130 kilograms of recoil and 15 kilograms of swinging force, which is more demanding for officers and men’s physical fitness.
On this day, Jia Jianping pulled the company to the foot of the mountain. He ordered the officers and men to climb the steep mountain with a 40-catty flamethrower and carry out intensive physical training for three hours without interruption.

When I rushed to the top of the mountain, the top of the mountain was really steep, and I really couldn’t climb. My legs couldn’t, and one of my knees climbed up, and my whole body was shaking. (2:005100)
Just down the mountain, Jia Jianping asked the breathless officers and men to do push-ups with a 40-pound flamethrower on their backs. Every officer and soldier knows that if he improves his physical fitness a little more, he will be less dangerous in fire-breathing shooting, and everyone will challenge his physical fitness limit every time he trains.
Scene: The soldier insisted on doing push-ups desperately. Jia Jianping has no support for practice.
This kind of training lasts for half an hour. Jia Jianping has long been accustomed to it. As a company commander, he wants to share joys and sorrows with the soldiers.
Scene: Jia Jianping was pushed down twice.

Continuous training to a certain extent, his body may not be able to support it, just relying on perseverance and spiritual support. (3:005100)
Lying shooting at night is a relatively simple subject in applied shooting. Jia Jianping intends to use the method of easy first and then difficult for officers and men to master it gradually.
Scene: shooting at night
However, despite full preparation, the soldier Hu Ming made a mistake in the first night shooting.
Fireworks Company Soldiers of a Red Army Division in Lanzhou Military Region, Hu Ming
I felt a little nervous and scared, but I forgot to plug in the socket and only hit the ignition tube. The oil and explosives in it didn’t go out in time, so I changed the ignition tube and plugged it in, and then the second shot went out. (3:000227)
Zhang Lu: Needless to say, this flamethrower is quite dangerous to shoot. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Guest: Yes, it’s both oil and explosives. If I dare not touch it, hehe, I’m mainly afraid it will go off.
Zhang Lu: But the training always goes on. In order to enable the soldiers to master the essentials accurately, the glasses company commander came up with a new idea to fill the flamethrower with water, which not only saves oil, but also boldly practices the essentials.
Guest: He really has imagination! The flamethrower is filled with water. It will look good if it is sprayed out like rain. I just don’t know if this method will work.
Jia Jianping, fireworks company commander of a Red Army Division in Lanzhou Military Region
According to its working principle and the structure of the flamethrower, at that time, I thought it should be possible to put water pressure in. Although it could not be lit, it could still be pumped out. (1:005300)
The flamethrower is used to spray water, which is a new thing in the fireworks company. The officers and men are eager to try, and the soldier Duan Shunwei was lucky enough to shoot first.
Scene: Duan Shunwei sat on the ground. "My legs are soft. What should I do if I change water into oil?"
Jia Jianping, fireworks company commander of a Red Army Division in Lanzhou Military Region
Of course, he didn’t rely on the gun to spray water. He mainly relied on the gun to stand on the person’s hip. If the gun is on the line, its recoil will be buffered by the person’s leg. People and guns can’t be on the line, and the force will go in different directions, so they often sit on the ground. (1:002149)
Because of the same recoil when spraying water, Duan Shunwei not only fell down by himself, but also spilled water all over Jia Jianping.
Jia Jianping, fireworks company commander of a Red Army Division in Lanzhou Military Region
There must be recoil in the process of pressing, although it is not that big, but it is about half of the fuel injection. (1:005300)
Then the soldier She Zengquan’s high-altitude gun shot was too high, and the water was blown back by the wind and fell on himself and other comrades.
Seeing such a scene, Jia Jianping couldn’t help but feel a little scared. If oil was sprayed instead of water this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Jia Jianping, fireworks company commander of a Red Army Division in Lanzhou Military Region
Danger, because if the gun is unstable in the air, oil will fall from the air and fall on others, especially his face, because our face is close to the muzzle. If the gun is unstable, the main oil will fall on the face and the burn will be more serious. (1:005110)
The novelty of water spray training soon passed, and the officers and men once again felt the hardship and boredom of training. In order to ensure the safety and effectiveness of fire-breathing shooting in the future, they almost tried their best.
Subtitle: Three months later
On this day, even all the officers and men were very nervous about the fireworks. They were going to shoot with no support and high-altitude guns. Jia Jianping got up early in the morning and organized the officers and men to make preparations before the fire.
Firearms volley, fire dragons fly, officers and men have mastered the shooting skills very well, and Jia Jianping’s hanging heart is finally put down.
In September 2007, a Red Army Division in Lanzhou Military Region was conducting a military exercise. When the main attack force of the "Red Army" attacked an unknown highland, it was suddenly suppressed by the fire of the "Blue Army" bunker, and the attack was deadlocked.
At this moment, several soldiers of the Fireworks Company, carrying a 40-catty flamethrower, under the leadership of the company commander Jia Jianping, quickly advanced to the "enemy" shelters. Due to the limited range of the flamethrower, the officers and men of the fireworks company must be as close as possible to the "enemy" front position.
Jia Jianping, fireworks company commander of a Red Army Division in Lanzhou Military Region
The maximum distance of our flamethrower is 80 meters, and the effective distance is 50 meters. If you miss the first shot, the enemy will definitely react. At a distance of 50 meters, you will definitely become a sitting target of the enemy, and the second shot is likely to fail. (1:005950)

Seize the opportunity to succeed. Failure to seize the opportunity may cost you your life. (5:001200)
As several "fire dragons" with temperatures as high as 800 degrees sprayed out, the "enemy" bunker was instantly destroyed, and the main attack troops quickly attacked and successfully occupied the highlands. In this battle, the appearance of flamethrower quickly reversed the war situation and became a hero in the battle. Since then, the little-known fireworks company has gained great fame. Since then, they have won the championship in the competitions of fire-breathing majors at all levels many times, and successfully completed the fire-breathing mission in all previous military exercises. Jia Jianping is also famous, and has won many awards for meritorious service, but Jia Jianping is still the same Jia Jianping, a man who made progress despite difficulties, and a "glasses company commander" who led the officers and men of the whole company to forge ahead bravely.
Zhang Lu: Why are you wearing glasses?
Guest: Hehe, the "glasses company commander" who can breathe fire is so adorable. Although we can’t breathe fire, let’s remember the nickname "company commander with glasses".
Zhang Lu: Ha ha, yes, not only the nickname, but also the name-Jia Jianping, a company commander who is more intelligent than brave.
Guest: Pay tribute to Jia Jianping and his fire fighters! If you want to watch more solo kungfu, don’t forget to watch our program "No.360" tomorrow.
Zhang Lu: In tomorrow’s program, we will introduce you to a group of top soldiers with Shaolin Kung Fu-Shaolin Special Police.
Guest: Have they been to Shaolin Temple? Are their martial arts also inscrutable? Tomorrow’s "No.360" will be announced for you.
Zhang Lu: Well, audience friends, I’ll see you tomorrow night!
