---------------
At two o'clock in the night, less than 6 hours before the live ammunition began, the night in the Gobi Desert was silent and cold.
Huang Zhenhao, the commander of the 2nd Company of the Yuanhuo Battalion of an artillery brigade of the 77th Group Army, was lying on the bed with his eyes closed but still chattering, "Update the weather conditions, set parameters, two companies and one artillery command post, two companies and three artillery fights Armored target..." He went through the live ammunition shooting process over and over again. He couldn't fall asleep and simply woke up, turned on a small flashlight outdoors and carefully read the shooting exercise data again.
All the officers and men of the battalion are looking forward to June 30. On this day, the first live fire drill was held more than a year after the new equipment was installed. Countless overtime stays up late, countless times to overcome difficulties, and finally to test the final results of training after a few hours.
Good grades are hard to come by
"Pay attention for two consecutive shots, target M10001, the enemy command post, the countdown starts at 10 seconds... 3, 2, 1, fire!"
The morning sun of the desert has just risen, and the troops successfully occupied the pre-selected positions according to plan. The commanders organized the collaborative training of fire strike units and meteorological, communication, and ammunition support modules at the first time, strengthened the close cooperation between the various operators, and ensured the command system and The troops operate efficiently and smoothly.
As the first wave of fire strike commands were issued, each strike unit updated the weather conditions in real time, checked and reported the ammunition status, and completed fire strike preparations. The company that Huang Zhenhao was in was the first to launch an "attack" in accordance with the instructions.
The shells spit flames in the air to draw a dazzling trajectory. After a few minutes of anxious waiting, the frontier observation post and the drone returned information in real time: the first shell hit the target accurately!
The news of the "first hit" on the radio made the officers and soldiers cheered, but everyone did not dare to slacken and waited nervously for the follow-up fire strike instructions.
As the first round of attacks continued, officers and soldiers planned to take the drone into the air, approach reconnaissance and other methods, and return the target damage effect through satellite communications in real time. The commander comprehensively judged all kinds of information, adjusted the shooting parameters in time, and relied on high efficiency. Smooth command system, flexible use of fire suppression, tactical and other tactical play, using different types of ammunition against more than 10 different nature and different distance targets such as "enemy" command posts, artillery positions, armor clusters and ammunition depots Long-range precision fire strike.
Immediately after the first round of fire strikes, the officers and men received orders to transfer positions, and each strike unit quickly moved to the reserve position. The commander quickly formulated a new round of fire strike plans according to the changes in the "enemy situation", and used the command information system to push to various positions. Firepower unit.
The firing parameters of the Yuanhuo Camp have just been set up and ready to fire. The wind direction and temperature of the position suddenly changed. Company commander Hu Qiang immediately ordered each firepower unit to re-set the elements based on the meteorological conditions reported by the meteorological vehicle.
"Thunder shooting, target M20001, armored cluster, 10 seconds countdown starts... 3, 2, 1, launch!"
With one round of shells hitting the target accurately, the officers and men achieved good results in the first shot and the first shot after the new equipment was installed.
"Good results are hard to come by." Company commander Huang Zhenhao clearly remembered that when the long-range rocket artillery was installed in the brigade at the beginning of last year, all the officers and soldiers of the battalion were transferred from other equipment positions, and no one mastered the operation skills of the new equipment.
These post-90s and post-00s started from zero, actively cracked the problems of new equipment training, and explored new equipment technology and tactics training methods. They worked together to gather intelligence and tackle problems. They adopted the learning methods of cadre leadership, popularization of all staff, and specialization and refinement, step by step. , And finally mastered the new equipment in his hand.
Used to be far away from far fire
At the beginning of the class collaborative training, Peng Liang, the class leader of the two-and-one class without any experience, carried out training according to the content of the textbook. After many collaborations, the gunners always felt that they were dragging everyone's "back legs." Peng Liang also found that in the entire loading gun, the personnel operations appeared to be messy and disorderly, and they could not meet the requirements of fast fight and fast harvest.
This problem has always plagued Peng Liang. One day, after dinner, several old class leaders got together as usual to talk about the problems that occurred during the day of training. Peng Liang asked everyone whether the division of labor was reasonable, which made the old class leaders “resonate”— — Everyone is aware of this problem. They repeatedly discussed the situation in actual operation, re-division of labor, clarification of responsibilities, and solved the messy and unreasonable places in the collaborative training of the class.
"When one gunner prepares for loading, he directly pulls the arm to hook up and starts loading. The cable docking is carried out by the four gunners and the six gunners..." After the division of labor, the division of labor among the gunners is clearer and the collaboration is more efficient, which greatly reduces the operation time.
When ammunition is hoisted, the operator needs to cooperate with others to work accurately. At the beginning of the coordination operation, the commanding gestures of each company were various. Although the hoisting could be completed in the end, the work efficiency was not high.
Several old squad leaders got together again to hold the "Zhuge Lianghui", studied the standard gestures, formed preliminary opinions, and then repeatedly tested in the actual operation, trying to sum up the most scientific and efficient way of collaboration. "The left thumb points to adjust the direction, and the right hand moves as much as the number of cylinders..." The officers and soldiers called such a coordinated approach "finger pointing." Through this simple and practical "matching method", the lifting time is shortened by nearly half, which greatly improves the loading efficiency.
Pvt. Xiachuan is the training leader in the company, and all individual soldiers have achieved excellent professional performance. The recruits' next company happened to catch up with the new equipment training period, and the entire Yuanhuo Camp was working overtime from top to bottom, and Xiachuan, who was "forced to operate", was once uncomfortable: "Everyone is training, I have to follow along practice."
But the mentality of this training leader soon changed. After training every day, he can see that the backbone of the cadres are still "sticking" to the equipment. During the break, he will always find the non-commissioned squad leaders to discuss the training issues together. The strong training atmosphere around him infects Xia Chuan: "Everyone is practicing, and I want to practice well."
After the live ammunition on June 30, officers and soldiers sat together excitedly chatting about every bit of this mission. The sixth class leader Lu Yuanbo sat in the distance and took out some scribbled work papers from his jacket pocket. During the breaks, he had to organize his experience in the tasks of the past few days into a "portable treasure".
"Personal treasure" is Lu Yuanbo's study notebook. The title page of the book is written with a sentence-"The journey is the sea of stars, the tickets must be taken by yourself", which details the knowledge points of the new equipment learning and the training training.
When Yuanhuo was just installed, only Lu Yuanbo, who had a high school education, had a strong "power panic" in the face of new equipment with high mechanical and electrical integration. When the manufacturer's technicians are trained, various professional terms are "uncommon", he used a stupid method to mark the places that need to be divided into steps, and the parts that need to be remembered are colored, and the various problems and problems encountered The solutions I consulted are all recorded in the notebook.
"Study notes are the best textbook." Lu Yuanbo said, like this notebook, almost every class leader has a copy. It is this kind of "portable treasure" that has achieved the record of "100 shots and 100 shots" in the real fire shooting of the distant fire camp, and also made more and more soldiers become "soldier experts."
Become "First Person of Far Fire"
"Bat commander, I think the calculations used are the coordinates of position 1..." During a simulation training, the command and support company accused the car operator Shang Yongcheng of having a dispute with the commander. Commander Kou Xian explained to him: "In the course of our actual combat, the coordinate of position 1 is the pre-selected coordinate, and the coordinate of position 2 is the field coordinate, so the calculation of the various elements uses the coordinate of number 2."
In order to verify whether it was correct, Shang Yongcheng conducted repeated checks, and finally, through practical tests, determined that the commander's view was correct.
Sergeant Shang Yongcheng was a scout before. After the new equipment was installed, he changed to a professional post of accusation. In the "guns, bullets and rain", I got used to it, and suddenly became an accusation that the car operator faced the computer every day, which made Shang Yongcheng sad.
Because of his thin foundation, Shang Yongcheng had to learn from the most basic familiar keyboard, and he often made mistakes during the training process and was reprimanded by the battalion commander. However, after each criticism, Commander Kou Xian will patiently correct his mistakes: "This operation should be like this..."
"Every time you get scolded, you will make progress." Shang Yongcheng concluded. On the day the live ammunition ended, Shang Yongcheng finally got the first praise from Camp Kou Xianying: "Yes today, Shang Yongcheng, there is no problem."
Most of the officers and soldiers of Yuanhuo Camp were post-90s and post-00s. The harsh environment of the Gobi Desert and high temperature and heat tempered their strong and optimistic character. When their peers talked about "poetry and distance," they talked about "poetry and distant fire." .
During one loading and docking training, two consecutive gunners Rong Jiwei accidentally fell from the car. In order not to affect the entire training progress of the class, he quickly climbed from the ground to resist the pain and continued to complete the entire operation.
However, he later discovered that he had a bone fracture in his lumbar spine, and returned to the team after two months of rest. The idea of becoming the "first person in distant fire" drove him to submit a "warfare letter" to the company party branch for the first time to apply for training. In the face of Rong Jiwei’s multiple applications, company commander Huang Zhenhao told him: “It’s okay to continue to participate in training, but you must do your best. At the same time, you need to change to a gunner. This requires less effort, but a gunner needs With more tasks, you have to work hard to practice well."
"I must participate in the first shooting of the battalion company." Rong Jiwei, who was on the cannon again, was very strict with himself. Every movement he practiced repeatedly until the muscles formed a "conditioned reflex." Through unremitting efforts, Rong Jiwei's squad successfully completed the mission during the live fire of the distant fire camp recently. He wished to become the "first person of distant fire" of the artillery brigade with his comrades.
