Under such an environment, each of the officers and soldiers carried an average weight of more than 10 kilograms, and carried out up-point combat drills on mountain slopes close to 40 degrees. At the same time, combined with the drill process, they used a variety of weapons to complete the assessment of live fire on different types of targets.
