Recently, a certain brigade of the army in the southern theater long-range maneuvered to a certain training ground on the western Sichuan Plateau to carry out multi-bomb and long-range live-fire tactical exercises, from information acquisition and battlefield mobility to tactical offensive and firepower strikes, the enemy's dangerous situation ran through the whole process, comprehensively testing the combat effectiveness of the personnel and equipment of the fire detachment under the cold conditions of the plateau.
On the plateau at an altitude of 4,500 meters, the temperature drops to 0 degrees in the morning. After the firepower detachment of a certain brigade of the 75th Group Army participating in the exercise arrived at the predetermined area, it quickly occupied the position, completed the preparations for unsealing the ammunition, installing the fuze, and calibrating the firing direction.
The temperature difference in the plateau area is large, the wind direction and wind speed are unpredictable, and the artillery is prone to "altitude sickness" such as inflexibility and reduced shooting accuracy. In order to successfully complete the shooting mission and ensure accurate hits, the detachment fully prepared for the pre-war in the early stage, organized high-standard maintenance of the artillery, and solidly carried out professional training and collaborative training.
The reconnaissance squad drives a new type of reconnaissance vehicle to carry out intelligence reconnaissance, accurately lock the target position, and the radar and meteorological observation vehicle collect target parameters and meteorological conditions to provide data basis for each firepower unit.
With the commander's order, several artillery pieces were fired at the target area. While the artillery is firing, the radar quickly captures the explosion point, quickly transmits data back to the observation station, and evaluates the damage effect of the target.
After continuous blows, the fire detachment received the order to expose the position, adopted the method of alternate cover, quick strike and quick retreat, and withdrew from the artillery position in only 10 minutes and quickly moved to the reserve position.
Under the conditions of high cold and lack of oxygen, officers and men continued to fight and build new positions. The sky gradually darkened, and under the conditions of low light, officers and men used a variety of night vision equipment to determine the orientation of the target, and used salvo and isometric firing to carry out fire strikes on new targets, and successfully destroyed the targets.
Tang Zhiling, head of the detachment, said: "Only by really fighting and preparing can we dare to show our swords when we meet the enemy." On the plateau at an altitude of 4,500 meters, live-fire tactical exercises were organized, which was not only an assessment of our commanders' ability to command and make decisions, but also a test of the comprehensive capabilities of the troops in reconnaissance, command, and support. ”
