最美新时代革命军人风采丨武警第二机动总队某支队大队长陈玉浩：能谋善战“多面手”

PLA Daily (解放军报) 12 August 2026

Summary

Chen Yuhao, a battalion commander in a detachment of the People's Armed Police Second Mobile Corps, directs red-versus-blue force-on-force exercises in Lingnan's dense forests, deliberately engineering attritional, high-difficulty scenarios to stress-test his unit's combat fundamentals. The profile documents his progression from assault trooper to multi-specialty operator — three international special forces competitions, eight individual-event first-place finishes — and his current focus on adapting 战法训法 (combat and training methods) to 信息化智能化作战 (informatized and intelligentized warfare). The framing points to PAP Second Mobile Corps investment in commanders who can bridge individual tactical proficiency with unit-level doctrinal adaptation, though the article gives no specifics on what new-type combat force structures Chen is actually building.

Translation

During the hottest days of summer, waves of heat rolled across the land. Deep in the dense forests of Lingnan, an intense red-versus-blue confrontation exercise organized by a detachment of the People's Armed Police Second Mobile Corps was in full swing. Using shrubs as cover, a special operations element playing the red force advanced covertly toward a building. After reaching the designated position, red-force assault troops were suppressed by blue-force fire every time they exposed themselves. From day into night, both sides became locked in an attritional back-and-forth of attack and defense. Battalion Commander Chen Yuhao, who was directing and controlling the exercise, left the participating officers and soldiers crying out in frustration — he refused to play by conventional rules, repeatedly setting up dangerous and difficult situations, forcing everyone to study the details of combat operations in depth and temper their real-combat capabilities.

Over many years of military service, Chen Yuhao has participated three times in international special forces competitions, winning first place in eight individual events. He has participated multiple times in major national and military exercises and in tasks such as emergency response and stability maintenance, growing step by step from an ordinary soldier into a commander who plans well and fights well.

When he first joined the special operations unit, Chen Yuhao participated in a joint exercise and training with foreign militaries as an assault trooper. During a door-breaching and entry drill, he came face to face with a foreign soldier at the same moment — and was "shot" first by the other side.

"Why did I fail?" During the after-action review, Chen Yuhao repeatedly analyzed the situation of both "enemy" and friendly forces and their tactical movements, and discovered that the foreign soldier had fired with his left hand, while he himself was accustomed to using his right. Under the circumstances at the time, drawing a weapon right-handed exposed a larger portion of the body; although both sides encountered each other simultaneously, the foreign soldier was able to spot and fire first.

Upon returning to his unit, Chen Yuhao threw himself into the tactical training range and ultimately mastered the operation of various types of equipment with both his left and right hands. Targeting the characteristics of confined combat spaces such as indoor environments and alleyways, he systematically studied tactical shooting and counter-tactics.

This experience made Chen Yuhao realize that winning on the battlefield requires forging oneself into a versatile "all-rounder." Accordingly, after consolidating his position as an assault trooper, he proactively applied for a transfer to a different role. Over six years, from reconnaissance and sniping to special communications, Chen Yuhao achieved proficiency in the skills of multiple positions.

As a commander, Chen Yuhao has been keenly aware that informatized and intelligentized warfare (信息化智能化作战) is the trend of the future, and has proactively explored models for building and employing new-type combat forces (新型作战力量). In recent years, he has led the detachment's backbone personnel in closely tracking the characteristics of informatized and intelligentized warfare (信息化智能化战争), exploring and researching a variety of combat methods and training methods (战法训法), and steadily advancing the unit's combat capability development.

The drive to break through (突围) in capability is a journey without end. From standing alone to mastering multiple specialties, from equipment innovation to tactical innovation, Chen Yuhao has always pressed forward to overcome difficulties and advance with courage and resolve, in the posture of one charging into battle.

三伏天，热浪翻涌。岭南密林中，武警第二机动总队某支队组织的一场红蓝对抗激战正酣。依托灌木丛作掩护，扮演红方的特战分队向一栋楼房隐蔽突进。到达预定点位后，红方突击手每次一露头，就遭蓝方火力压制。从白天到黑夜，双方陷入攻防拉锯战。组织导调的大队长陈玉浩，令参训官兵叫苦不迭——他不按常理出牌，频频设险设难，倒逼大家深研作战细节、锤炼实战本领。从军多年，陈玉浩3次参加国际特种兵比武，斩获8个单项第一，多次参加国家、军队重大演习和处突维稳等任务，从一名普通士兵一步步成长为能谋善战的指挥员。初入特战队时，陈玉浩曾作为突击手参加中外联演联训。在破门突入环节，他与外军队员同时碰面，却被对方抢先“击中”。 “为何会失手？”复盘时，陈玉浩反复分析“敌”我情况和战术动作发现，外军队员使用左手开枪，而自己习惯用右手。当时情况下，右手据枪暴露身位较大，双方虽然同时碰面，但外军队员能先发现、先开火。归队后，陈玉浩一头扎进战术训练场，最终练熟左、右手操作各类型装备。针对室内、巷道等狭小作战空间特点，他系统钻研战术射击和反制战术。这次经历让陈玉浩意识到，能打胜仗必须练就战场“多面手”。于是，站稳突击手岗位后，他主动申请换岗。6年时间，从侦察、狙击到特种通信，陈玉浩精通了多岗位技能。作为一名指挥员，陈玉浩敏锐意识到，信息化智能化作战是未来趋势，主动探索新型作战力量建设和运用模式。近年来，他带领支队骨干紧盯信息化智能化战争特点，探索研究多种战法训法，推动部队战斗力建设水平不断提升。能力“突围”，永远在路上。从独当一面到一专多能，从装备革新到战术创新，陈玉浩始终以冲锋姿态攻坚克难、勇毅前行。
