A brigade of the Tibet Military Region focused on actual combat needs and tapped the maximum potential of its equipment. The


  plateau’s actual firing breakthrough "critical value"

  News from our newspaper Zheng Xiaowen and reporter Qian Xiaohu reported: The autumn wind is rustling, an artillery brigade of the Tibet Military Region has moved hundreds of kilometers to test the shooting efficiency of a new type of artillery in the alpine region, aiming at the extreme shooting distance to tap the maximum potential of the equipment.

The artillery roared, and the shells dragged the tail flames straight into the sky, hitting the target accurately.

  In the past, the brigade organized live ammunition firing, and most of the targets were set at the best range of firepower. The new equipment "hit the first shot and hit the shot" is not difficult.

During a drill, the artillery unit of the brigade received a launch command during its maneuver. However, the target was beyond the theoretical shooting range, and the officers and soldiers were unable to do so.

  Under the actual conditions of long-distance and high-altitude combat, how to achieve extreme shooting "seal the throat with one sword" has become a difficult hurdle that the brigade officers and soldiers must break through.

They, together with experts from universities and manufacturers, formed a research team on the subject, boarded the resident training site at an altitude of more than 4000 meters, and established extreme shooting files according to target azimuth, shooting elevation angle, meteorological conditions, air resistance and other parameters, distinguishing different shooting distances and different weather conditions , The air resistance of different altitudes was repeatedly tested, and more than 10 core parameters of shooting beyond the limit were sorted out, and a complete set of methods for a certain type of artillery to shoot at high altitudes.

  "Only by demanding combat power from the'critical values' such as the maximum range and longest range of weapons and equipment, can we discover the combat'base' of weapons and equipment." The brigade leader told reporters that in recent years, they have incorporated "extra-limit elements" in their daily training. "Continuously increase the proportion of high-difficult subjects such as high altitude special physical fitness, night marching with bombs, night vision low-light operation, and driving on ice and snow sections. The "practice skills to the extreme and the use of weapons to the extreme" have strongly promoted the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops.

A brigade of the 73rd Group Army accelerates the generation of new equipment combat effectiveness

The "real guy" is used in the assessment target

  News from our newspaper Chen Kunfeng and reporter Lai Wenyong reported: Not long ago, the foothills of the Helan Mountains were filled with gunpowder, and a brigade of the 73rd Army Group had a fierce battle with multiple ammunition fire tests across the day and night.

With the command of the gunner Li Yihao, the shells roared out and hit the target accurately.

Surprisingly, the live ammunition target was a real tank that had just been scrapped!

  It is understood that in previous years, the brigade organized live-fire shooting. The targets were mostly simulated "tanks" and "bunkers". Even if they accurately hit the target, the shooting effectiveness could not be accurately evaluated.

This year, they set a total of 23 solid targets in 6 categories using on-site objects.

When a new type of vehicle-mounted gun fired live ammunition, a real tank was used as the target to comprehensively test the shooting accuracy and damage effect of the projectile.

  "Fire strikes hit different parts of the target, and the damage effect is not the same." The brigade leader told reporters that in order to make the new artillery form combat effectiveness as soon as possible, the brigade party committee drew a team of key personnel to set up a research team to sort out the training points and launch special training , Conduct research on important and difficult issues.

  The reporter saw at the scene that, following the commander’s order, a test shot roared out, accurately hitting the target area.

The command post decided to carry out effective shooting based on the results of the test firing. More than 10 artillery roared into the sky, and smoke and dust burst into the audience.

Cannonballs rained down on the target area, and multiple solid targets were instantly destroyed.

  When asked about his shooting experience, Li Yihao said: “The new type of artillery can load faster, have a longer range, and have higher accuracy. Faced with the test of real targets, we have demonstrated the confidence in actual combat.” It is understood that the next stage of the brigade will focus on the new type. The artillery achieves a series of topics such as "quick strike and withdrawal, precise acupuncture point", in-depth study of play and tactics, focus on specialization, refinement and coordinated training, and accelerate the formation of systematic combat capabilities.
