Desert Gobi, summer night starry sky. As a certain type of reconnaissance drone roared and took off, the artillery battalion of a certain brigade of the army opened the curtain on live-fire drills across the day and night.
In the darkness of the night, the drone approached for aerial reconnaissance, and transmitted the coordinates of the target back to the artillery command vehicle. Firing parameters were then sent to each gun fire control system, and the rocket artillery detachment and howitzer detachment were quickly loaded into the elements. "Ready, put!" At the command of the commander, a round of artillery shells roared out and launched a fire attack on the "enemy's" position.
After the first round of firing, the rocket artillery detachment and the howitzer detachment quickly withdrew from their positions and moved to the reserve positions. Subsequently, the anti-tank missile detachment took a relay attack to accurately eliminate the remaining forces of the "enemy".
As the sky grew darker, the guidance team suddenly sent an order: "Found that the 'remnant enemy' is fleeing to the southeast, order the howitzer detachment to carry out blocking fire!" The howitzer detachment quickly withdrew its camouflage and prepared for battle. At this time, the weather suddenly changed, and the wind and sand filled the air, which increased the difficulty of aiming and aiming. In the face of the test, the officers and men calmly coped with the situation, and three shots and three shots successfully destroyed the "enemy" movement targets.
During this exercise, the brigade specialized in and refined the training subjects that were difficult and difficult in accordance with the outline, ascertained the performance of the equipment, innovated the tactical play methods, and continuously improved the core combat capability of the troops.
