Surface-to-air missile 2nd Team
Missiles hold high, wait for sirius, weave sky nets... The 2nd Party of Surface-to-Air Missiles, composed of the Red 12 weapon system and the Red 6-A artillery weapon system, was guided by two off-road vehicles and drove through Tiananmen Square with great momentum, from the hull to the shell body, the fresh urban camouflage, which was particularly eye-catching. The team leaders are Major General Zhu Rui and Major General Dong Yujiang.
It is reported that the two weapon systems consulted this time are representative equipment of China's third-generation short-range and terminal air defense weapon systems. These two types of weapons and equipment are combined, and those who are far and near can fight, and the air defense net is tighter and more firm.
The wheels rolled and excalibur tilted. The troops that formed this square were inspected by the party and the people on 6 occasions. The 7th reading, what did they bring? Dong Yujiang, the leader of the general of the square team, led the team to be paraded for the second time, and he said with emotion that compared with the previous review, this time is a brand new appearance after the reorganization and reconstruction of the troops; the organization of the square team is more optimized, and the college students and soldiers have become the new backbone; from the appearance point of view, this type of equipment has not changed significantly from before, but in fact, after iterative improvement and information transformation, the equipment performance, especially the combat capability of the system, has been greatly improved.
The front of the stage is majestic, and the stage is extraordinary. This square is formed by two heroic units with a rich history and outstanding achievements.
The predecessor of a certain brigade equipped with a terminal air defense system, from the units of the Second and Fourth Field Armies with outstanding combat achievements, is the first batch of anti-aircraft artillery units formed by our army, and has achieved brilliant results in 3,218 anti-aircraft operations, 617 enemy planes, 846 enemy planes, and 117 captured enemy pilots in territorial air defense operations and overseas operations. The units have successively produced heroic combat collectives such as the "Eighty-Two Combat Divine Artillery Company" and the "Fourth Class of Heroic Artillery," which were once praised by the leaders of the Central Military Commission as "Jinmen Sword."
Since its establishment, another surface-to-air missile brigade has long undertaken important air defense tasks, and in the 49 years since its establishment, the brigade has participated in major tasks such as Tangshan earthquake relief, border air defense operations, joint air defense exercises in the capital, and Olympic security, and achieved good results in 143 rounds of live ammunition shooting and 130 shots. Because of its outstanding combat achievements, a certain subordinate company was awarded the honorary title of "Top Soldier Company of the Searchlight Unit" by the Air Force.
"The strong air defense brigade has been refined into steel and has a fine work style of daring to fight and win; it has forged a fine army, grasped the gun in our hands, has me invincible, and forged the strong among the strong; the people are united in their will, the army is strong and heroic, the dream of the road to rejuvenation is brilliant, adding color to the seventieth anniversary, and our ground-to-air missile troops are adding color to the seventieth birthday and singing triumphantly." This "Triumphant Song with High Heads" is a square team song created by college student soldier Gao Sheng inspired by the training life of officers and soldiers who were paraded, and once it was sung, it was loved by officers and men. The officers and men said: This song not only sings of our glory yesterday, but also sings of our expectations for the future, and is the oath of our new generation of air defense officers and men to march forward courageously for the motherland and the people.
Long sky column, Gyeonggi cast iron fist. A certain brigade, known as the "Sword of Jinmen," was born in the smoke of gunfire, forged ahead in the red blood of Geng continued, and once undertook the task of combat readiness duty in only 3 days after replacing the new type of equipment, and achieved outstanding results in the tenth of the ten major exercises of the whole army in that year. Since its new establishment in 2017, it has fully implemented the preparations for the reorganization of combat readiness, handled dozens of unclear air conditions, completed more than a dozen exercise exercise tasks, and achieved 5 rounds and 5 shots of the Red-6A assessment last year.
The long sky sings the song of the clouds, and vows to defend the long sky with the Excalibur. During the reform period, a certain brigade, known as the "Purple Plug Strong Brigade," obeyed orders, took the initiative to plan, and quickly completed the formation of units; in that year, it successfully completed a number of major military tasks such as the "Blue Shield" and "Red Sword" system confrontation exercises, rotational training, and other major military tasks, and brilliantly completed various tasks such as recruiting, fixing posts, transferring subordinates, and changing defenses, and the level of actual combat training of the whole brigade continued to improve.
"As far as air defense is concerned, we belong to the end of air defense, and the core is to build the last barrier of air defense." With unlimited loyalty to the party and the people, the generations of officers and men represented by the square team have always thrived in the reform and strengthening of the army, pursued excellence, refined steel, and worked hard to forge themselves into elite troops defending the motherland's air and space security.
With two swords together, who is in contention? The vehicles were still moving forward in a festive atmosphere, but the officers and men on parade had set up new targets in their hearts. Because they walked off the parade ground, they will immediately rush to the live-fire training ground in a few days -- what is displayed on the parade ground is loyalty, and what is tempered on the training ground is the "sword blade", and when loyalty and sword blade are perfectly integrated, it is the main theme of youth sung by the new generation of surface-to-air missile soldiers to strictly guard the air and space safety of the motherland.
