A certain navy regiment in the northern theater changed its usual course settings

  Launched at night, the battlefield data suddenly "faces"

  News from this newspaper Yang Liu and Special Correspondent Zhang Gan reported: Late in the middle of summer, a certain shore mission of the Navy in the northern theater was dispatched to launch a night missile launching exercise. The assault group had just arrived in the field, but a group of issued vehicle azimuth data disrupted the exercise plan.

  "Receive the position information!" On the ground, the pilot Fei was stunned when he saw the data. In the past, after receiving the position information and referring to the data, the position adjustment of the launch vehicle could be completed soon. But the data received this time was extremely unfamiliar, leaving him a little at a loss. He hurriedly reported the "data release error" situation to the commander and asked for instructions to release the data again. Unexpectedly, the commander immediately rejected the request: "The data is accurate and correct, adjust the shooting direction quickly!"

  What is going on here? The leadership of the regiment broke the mystery: In the past, because officers and soldiers often carried out launch training at this position, the fixed launch position allowed the officers and soldiers to develop the mindset of "using this set of data for this position." Although the usual data makes the officers and soldiers more and more familiar, it restricts the ability of the officers and soldiers to change according to the situation. In this exercise, they abandoned their usual data, changed the familiar geographic environment and curriculum settings, and increased the difficulty of the exercise, forcing the officers and soldiers of the launching squad to deal with the new orientation and emergency rapid launch.

  After re-adjusting the firing direction, the launch process was intense, but in the end it was still one step later than the scheduled attack time. The guidance team judged: the launch timing is delayed! The defeat was a wake-up call. The regiment’s leaders took advantage of the situation and organized officers and soldiers to launch a resumption. While reflecting on the review, they put forward a number of suggestions for improvement, such as rapid adjustment of the shooting direction and optimization of the dispatch process. In subsequent exercises, the regiment continuously mobilized multiple assault groups for assessment and inspection, and the ability of officers and soldiers to respond to multiple combat environments was improved.

Short comment

Be wary of your "soft underbelly"

■Wei Bing

  "The husband soldier is like water, the shape of water, avoiding heights and going down; the shape of soldiers, avoiding the reality and hitting the void." Both the enemy and us on the battlefield will try to find the other's "weakness", hit the opponent's "seven inches", and attack its weakness. We have learned the art of warfare by exploiting our strengths and avoiding weaknesses, and we must also make up for the shortcomings of our own combat system.

  "A chance to relax, everything is great", it is difficult to make a "hard fist" with a "soft finger". We must pay close attention to the actual training of troops and prepare for war. We must not only see the "prepared areas", but also the "unprepared areas", and truly regard actual combat requirements as the criterion for combat effectiveness construction. weak. Those who can't see the gap with their opponents, can't see their own "weaknesses", and can't see tomorrow's war, will surely swallow the bitter fruit on the cruel battlefield.
