Recently, officers and men of a certain unit of the Xizang Military Region conducted a combat readiness pull drill in the actual combat background at a training ground at an altitude of 4,300 meters. This pull drill highlighted the mobility of the troops, the handling of the enemy’s situation, and joint strikes, and comprehensively tested the actual combat capability of the troops.
The emergency assembly whistle sounded, and the officers and men quickly loaded materials, asked for weapons and ammunition, and organized boarding according to the battle sequence. The motorcade just started, and the danger came immediately. The steering group set up obstacles on the spot, blew up the road, sent a small group of enemies to harass, and asked the commander to take prompt action according to the time schedule.
The commander commanded the sharp knife squad to go out quickly and deal with the enemy’s situation, ensuring the smooth passage of the troops. A small number of enemies had just been annihilated, and the troops received orders from their superiors. The enemy set up a large number of obstacles at the front. In order to facilitate the follow-up troops to maneuver, the officers and men immediately launched an offensive operation, and the engineers quickly went out, opened up the road and blew up the bunker. The artillery detachment immediately occupied the launching position, loaded the ammunition, set the elements, and attacked the enemy’s reinforcements and driving routes. The infantry unit quickly penetrated, adopted the tactics of frontal feint and quick detour, broke through the enemy’s defense in depth and successfully completed the task.

Huang Haiji, battalion commander of a certain unit of Xizang Military Region:Through this comprehensive exercise, the tactical achievements of the previous detachment were effectively tested, and the combat quality of officers and men was further improved. In the next training, we will strengthen the cooperative training of basic movements, communication and command, and team and detachment.
It is understood that in this comprehensive exercise, officers and men also carried out training in various subjects such as rapid shooting and field cooking support, and comprehensively improved the actual combat capability of the troops.
Examination on the Limit Shooting of Northwest Desert Artillery Unit Crossing Day and Night
Recently, a certain unit of the 71st Group Army went to the northwest desert for trans-regional maneuvers to carry out live-fire drills across the night under extreme conditions, to maximize the actual combat effectiveness of weapons and equipment, and to test the rapid response and precision strike capabilities of the troops under extreme conditions.
After receiving the order, the artillery detachment quickly completed the battle formation. After nearly three hours of long-distance maneuvering, the officers and men arrived at the combat area. The fire guidance group of the reconnaissance detachment goes out before concealment to observe the target information. The command and support unit quickly measured the meteorological conditions necessary for the operational data.
According to the information, the position commander quickly organized the artillery unit to adjust the parameters of each element, and attacked the enemy’s anti-inclined target by shooting at the extreme high angle. The assessment lasted until late at night, and the anti-tank detachment quickly searched and determined the target according to the enemy’s information, and launched a certain type of anti-tank missile.

Li Zhongjie, deputy battalion commander of a synthetic brigade of the 71st Army:It is more difficult to guide in the desert at night when the wind and sand are changeable. The shooter must rely on the video transmitted back by the missile in real time for accurate control, so as to complete the accurate fire attack under the extreme conditions.
In this live-fire shooting, they made full use of the complex and unfamiliar environment where the meteorological environment in the northwest desert region changed rapidly, and completed the shooting of moving targets, command posts, bunkers and other targets, which improved the actual combat winning ability of the troops.

Liu Zhaojun, deputy chief of staff of a synthetic brigade of the 71st Army:By organizing multiple kinds of extreme shooting in unfamiliar areas, we will continue to aim at the limit of weapons and equipment, carry out specialization and refinement, strive for combat effectiveness from the limit of equipment, and strive for combat effectiveness in actual combat, so as to open up the last mile from the training ground to the battlefield.
Testing the overall combat capability of air defense forces by live-fire shooting across the day and night
Recently, a brigade of the 72nd Army launched a live-fire shooting drill day and night. Through high-intensity, fast-paced continuous confrontation, the overall combat capability of air defense forces is tested.
At the beginning of the drill, a number of simulated enemy planes flew at ultra-low altitude and attacked the position. The officers and men quickly completed the position configuration. The radar operator searched and tracked the enemy planes continuously and reported the incoming direction and flight parameters in time. After the commander identified the situation, he commanded the detachment to fight against the enemy planes.
At the same time, many pieces of equipment of the anti-aircraft gun detachment cooperated with each other, and adopted various shooting methods such as alternating shooting, fire gathering shooting and shooting as far as possible to complete the fire attack on the multi-level and multi-angle three-dimensional target and successfully destroy the target. After the first round of attack, the troops quickly moved to the reserve position. On the way, several simulated reconnaissance planes approached for reconnaissance, and the portable missile unit quickly went forward and turned into combat.
With the close cooperation of officers and men of each detachment, the incoming enemy plane was successfully intercepted by fire, which ensured the air safety when the troops were transferred. As night falls, enemy planes attack the reserve positions from different directions again. According to the real-time shared air information, the commander distinguishes the targets of his antiaircraft artillery units and portable missile units, and arranges them in steps to build a three-dimensional air defense firepower network with far-near connection and high-low complementarity.

Yang Haisheng, Battalion Commander of a Synthetic Brigade of the 72nd Army:In this drill, we keep a close eye on future combat opponents, focusing on testing the ability of anti-aircraft weapons in the camp to find targets and resist targets, and providing data support for the next step of studying innovative tactics.
