How many "unexpected" encounters during a visit to the
  camp? Interpretation of the key word "focus on actual combat" of a certain brigade of the 77th Army

  In the midsummer season, the reporter went to the exploratory camp of a brigade of the 77th Group Army stationed on the plateau. I thought I was already familiar with the road, but all the way down, I encountered many "unexpected" one after another.

  The sky was full of flying sand, and off-road vehicles bumped along the valley. After arriving at the military training area, there was no impression of the spectacular scene of tank formations and colorful flags. Instead, it was an "herdery picture" of yak strolling and flying birds spreading their wings.

  "Could it be that I went to the wrong place?" Just as the reporter was puzzled, several sentries in camouflage camouflaged out of thin air from nearby, and the frightened cattle suddenly dispersed. It turned out that the reporters' every move was already clearly seen by the hidden post hidden in the underground.

  Following the direction of the sentry's fingers, the reporter's eyes widened, only to find that several tents were scattered at the foot of the mountain not far away. After being transformed by a distorted and discolored camouflage net, the reporter integrated with the surrounding mountains.

  "It's no wonder that even Asuka can't detect it, let alone us!" The reporter exclaimed.

  Walking into the organ camp hidden in the mountains, the reporter never expected that he would be hit by the "empty city plan"-after drilling a few tents in succession, they found that it was empty except for the camp bed.

  "Where is the Chinese military account? Where are the cadres?" In desperation, the reporter had to ask for help through the walkie-talkie. Soon after, a field square cabin car galloped from a distance.

  "We are organized in accordance with actual combat commands, and the organs are built based on vehicles. Wherever the troops practice, the command post is set up." Peng Yun, director of the political work department of the brigade explained, "the kind of'one road leads to government agencies and office tent companies. The "one piece" camping village model has long become the "past tense"."

  "Can you take us to various camps?" "The time is too tight. Let's talk about it after lunch." The reporter raised his wrist and looked at his watch. There is still an hour before the meal. How can the time be tight? Seeing the reporter's doubts, Peng Yun explained the reason: "Without the camping village, the troops are scattered at the bottom of the hilltop valley with a radius of tens of kilometers. Not to mention making a circle around the training ground, even from company to company, it takes seven or eight minutes by car. "

  It was lunch, but I didn't expect it to be a set of field food for individual soldiers issued during the exercise. Not only that, in the field training ground, even eating has become a training subject, food preparation time, the speed of the officers and soldiers eating are all training content.

  "When the troops go to the mountains to practice warfare, the officers and soldiers must also train the'stomach' capable of fighting." Yan Qin, head of the security department of the brigade, told reporters that since the training this year, they have used field cooking wagons for cooking, individual field food, and the survival of the soldiers in the field. The combined cooking guarantee model truly realizes how to fight the battle and "eat how to eat".

  After lunch, the reporter drove to the camp of the second camp of the brigade and planned to take a few "beautiful pictures." Unexpectedly, on the endless grassland, there are no people for ten meters, no cars for 100 meters, and tents are scattered everywhere in twos and threes. No matter where you stand, it is difficult to find a "good-looking" shooting angle.

  "You can't win a battle by looking good!" Qi Jian, the battalion commander of the battalion, told reporters that during the field training, they strictly followed the requirements of defensive battles and deployed them in camps. The companies were scattered around the battalion command post, with air defense, artillery, and combat support positions The canine teeth are staggered, and the platoons are also intertwined and connected by field roads. The defensive frontal range is very wide, and it is naturally difficult to take "ideal" photos.

  Before the words were over, a comprehensive drill started suddenly, and subjects such as maneuver transition, offensive and defensive transformation, and coordinated combat began one after another. It was the early morning of the next day when the smoke cleared. Although for many years of hard work on the plateau, this battle still made Qi Jian sigh with emotion: "Unexpectedly, this year's field training intensity is so high, the training difficulty is so high, and the content connection is so compact..."

  A visit to the camp sighed with emotion, and the changes in "eating, housing, walking, fighting, hiding" and other aspects reflected the change in the concept of the troops from "resident training" to "station training." Thinking of this, the reporter can't help but expect to encounter more "unexpected" in follow-up interviews.

Short comment

Field training is not a replica of camp life

  ■Bai Hongwang, commander of a brigade of the 77th Army

  Field training is by no means a simple conversion of training venues, nor is it moving to the field to "live". Once upon a time, some troops were keen to engage in "camping construction" and "housing projects". They often spent great efforts in dressing up the training grounds, placing colorful flags and hanging banners, paving stones to create landscapes, setting up tents in horizontal and vertical squares, and parking vehicles on the same standard. The line seems to be another "copy" of camp life. Such training of troops is not only difficult to achieve the effect of enhancing the combat effectiveness of the troops, but also does not help to temper the vigor of the officers and soldiers.

  Only by staying like a war can we train like a war. As a form of "pre-practice" in future warfare, field training is the most basic requirement to closely follow actual combat. Nothing can be taken to the training grounds that is not tolerated in a war. Only by stepping out of the "comfort zone" and being placed in a tough, harsh, and close to actual combat training environment, can we better adapt to the future battlefield and develop our excellent skills to fight and win battles.
