The grassland in the cold area, the night temperature dropped to -25 ° C, Under the severe cold conditions, the marines carried out concealed maneuvers and interspersed penetration, accumulating a large amount of combat data in high-altitude areas.

  Reporter's notes

  Transformation requires a sense of "sudden maintenance"

  The profound changes in modern warfare styles and combat concepts are rapidly changing the battlefields that we used to be familiar with, showing a multidimensional integration, integration and interaction development trend. Transformation and reshaping not only means ability breakthroughs, but also ability “breakthrough”: that is, to break the old thinking pattern, concept barriers, and power boundaries, and move towards a new dimension.

  As the People's Navy moves toward the deep blue clang, the Marine Corps has broken through the traditional category of "amphibious" and "land warfare", and has continuously improved its ability to perform diversified missions in different strategic directions, different battlefield environments, and different mission areas. A new type of combat force with air and air integration and both offensive and defensive capabilities is striding forward.

  "Tuwei" is an arduous journey and a revolution of the self. It must have the determination of the Phoenix Nirvana and the strength of thunder. At present, our army is in the period of accelerating the advancement of the strong army and resolving the difficulties of transformation and development. It is necessary for every officer to fight for the day and night, work hard, stand up to the tide, dare to "surpass the peace", and be in the process of transformation and upgrading Realizing a real rebirth in the casting of China's casting, and making due contributions to the realization of the strong army.
