Abstract
The report of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China emphasizes the need to carry forward the fighting spirit, strengthen the study and education of military history, prosper and develop the culture of strengthening the military, and intensify the cultivation of the fighting spirit. As a powerful ideological foundation for our military to defeat the enemy and a confidence-building factor for firmly establishing the combat effectiveness standard, the fighting spirit is a precious spiritual wealth passed down from generation to generation in our military. It is also an excellent character that every serviceman must possess. Military academies, as the cradle for cultivating future front-line commanders in our military, contain rich resources for cultivating the fighting spirit. This article deeply studies the laws of foreign language teaching, seeks a breakthrough point for the combination of college English courses and military practice, firmly establishes a clear orientation of cultivating combat talents, strengthens the construction of ideological and political education in college English, continuously consolidates the ideological foundation of cadets for preparing for war, strengthens the awareness of the fighting spirit, and enhances the confidence in winning battles.
