A certain brigade of the 74th Group Army accelerates the construction and application of new-quality combat forces—the
　　“God of War” roars on the battlefield

　　In the midsummer, the night was beautiful, and a long-range fire precision strike drill of a certain brigade of the 74th Army began quietly. A new type of long-range fire weapon system, multiple new ammunition and multiple new tactics appeared on the battlefield.

　　Following the commander's order, several new rockets roared out, piercing through the sky and accurately "pointing".

　　The smoke and dust have not yet dispersed, and the artillery has withdrawn from the position and disappeared into the vast night... The damage assessment showed that the effectiveness of the fire strike was significantly improved.

　　Yuanhuo "God of War" roared on the battlefield. Years ago, a new type of long-range rocket launcher was installed on the brigade, allowing this unit to enter the ranks of digital artillery.

　　One month after the new weapon system was upgraded, the brigade boldly tried more than 10 new tactics and successfully passed the inspection and assessment. As soon as they became famous, their confidence grew.

　　That year, many new combat forces in the Army fortified the desert. The brigade is based on a new type of long-range rocket launcher to implement multiple new styles of play, so that the observers on the scene shine.

　　"It's about the building of combat effectiveness. You can't wait for a moment. You must plan ahead and go ahead." The brigade leader said that they twice took the lead in compiling the training program for the far fire force, creating many firsts in the whole army...

　　At the beginning of this year, Yuanhuo "God of War" ushered in another upgrade. Faced with new historical opportunities, the brigade broke away from the shackles of concepts and trained while upgrading. "New equipment training often emphasizes single loading and light synthesis, technology and tactics, techniques and tactics." The brigade leaders realized that these problems must be overcome as soon as possible. They set up a training organization with 12 new equipment "tactical skills" talents as the backbone to help commanders at all levels transform their equipment control capabilities into command capabilities.

　　The brigade regards talents as the core driver for the transformation and development of the force. Just entering the winter of last year, the brigade leaders led more than 30 technical backbones and traveled thousands of kilometers to study and learn from many research institutes, manufacturers and brother units.

　　In the Gobi Desert, war artillery roared. Since the field training this year, the brigade has continued to carry out multi-method fire suppression and multi-position maneuver strike exercises. While laying a solid foundation for combat, it has vigorously researched and innovated tactics and training methods to continuously promote long-range strikes with precision, sensitivity and efficiency.

Explore the operational potential of new equipment

　　■Chen Yan

　　The birth and application of a new piece of equipment can often become a "multiplier" for increasing combat effectiveness, and can even change the mode of war. Nowadays, the equipment upgrade cycle is getting shorter and shorter, but this does not mean that the increase in combat effectiveness is automatically synchronized and accelerated.

　　In the information age, the technological content of equipment is getting higher and higher, and wars increasingly rely on system support. The formation of combat effectiveness of new equipment is a systematic project that encompasses multiple links such as updating of thinking and concepts, upgrading of capabilities and qualities, innovative use of tactics, and deep integration of systems. Any missing link may lead to "wearing new shoes and walking the old way."

　　The various links of new equipment forming combat effectiveness are interrelated and influence each other, and the training of front-line troops is the key to connecting all links. Only by tapping the combat potential of new equipment can the combat effectiveness of the troops leap to a new level.
