Recently, a certain brigade of the 76th Group Army took advantage of the opportunity of stationing training to pull its artillery detachment to the Helangu battlefield, adopted the method of temporary guidance and dispatch, organized live shooting of howitzers and rockets in waves, and comprehensively tested the coordination and cooperation ability between the commanders of the battalion and company of the artillery detachment and the squads.

▲ The Forward Observatory quickly calculates the impact point
▲Measure wind direction
"Coordinates 513... Get ready to shoot quickly. After receiving the order, the company commander Zhao Jiangfeng quickly clarified the target point, the aimer calibrated the aiming parameters, and the remaining gunners quickly leveled the gun bed, sat on the cannon, and opened the ammunition.
▲ The gun commander aims at the target point
"Grenades, one shot reloaded. Ready, put! With a loud bang, shells erupted from more than 10 artillery pieces, but one of the gun sets was slow to move. It turned out that Li Jiale, the commander of the No. 5 Gun Group, was too nervous, and the bolt slipped from his hand, resulting in the Failure of the No. 5 Gun Group to fire normally.
▲ Adjust the state to complete the first shot
"The howitzers loaded with live ammunition and the air guns during training on weekdays feel completely different, and my hands are full of sweat." Recalling this live-fire shooting, gunnery commander Li Jiale still had palpitations.
▲ The god of war roared and the dust flew
"Even if you are familiar with the live-fire process on weekdays, when the live ammunition enters the gun chamber, it is inevitable that there will be various unpredictable mistakes due to tension." Company commander Zhao Jiangfeng told the Qiangjun reporter. Only through actual combat live-fire can the psychological quality of shooters be tempered and they be further familiar with the future battlefield environment.
▲ Handling ammunition
"No. 3 charge, meter ruler minus 3..." At a certain type of rocket artillery firing site, after receiving the commander's firing password, the aimer quickly corrected the aiming parameters, and the loader nervously and orderly sent the shell into the chamber smoothly, and after completion, the gun commander immediately reported to the command post that the concealment was completed.
▲Ammunition is reloaded
▲Quickly adjust the aiming point calculation parameters
"I finally knew why I had to report in the loudest voice during training, and it turned out that when the cannon sounded, I didn't report the situation loudly, and I couldn't hear anything at all." After a salvo, the rocket artillery squad officer Qian flashed a handful of ash on his face and excitedly told the squad leader.
In the early training, due to the lack of loud voice, Qian Shan was criticized several times by the squad leader, and after this live-fire shooting, he really understood the importance of "big voice".
▲ The sword is sheathed
"If you don't let everyone go to the battlefield to pull the cannon bolts, listen to the cannons, and suffer hardships, how can they know what a war is like?" Chen Lunpin, commander of the brigade's artillery battalion, who was commanding at the scene, said so.
