They perfectly interpret that advanced technology is the core combat capability

Special report on the fifth anniversary of the formation of the Rocket Army  

  On December 31, 2020, the 5th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force, which was renamed from the Second Artillery Corps.

In order to strengthen scientific and technological training, the Rocket Army has cultivated batches of innovative talents, including 6 academicians, 65 high-level scientific and technological innovation talents, and more than 3000 third-level technical leaders...

  On January 4, Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, President of the State, and Chairman of the Central Military Commission signed an order to issue a training mobilization order to the entire army, sounding the clarion call for the new year's actual combat exercise.

The Rocket Army officers and soldiers set off from the many missile camps in the north and south, stepping on the drums of the new year’s training, and rushing to the exercise field, setting off a new climax of scientific and technological training to improve their actual combat capabilities.

  In the missile position, the officers and soldiers took advantage of the informatization of new missile weapons and equipment, and the missile stood proudly; on the training field, batches of new tactics and training methods were used in the practice of preparing for war, and the training efficiency was greatly improved; in the laboratory, "Makers" "The team insists on scientific research as a battle, and each innovation has helped to promote scientific and technological training into the "fast lane."

Deepen the mind of science and technology training soldiers

  When the reporter was interviewing a missile brigade of the Rocket Army, a piece of news was gratifying: the brigade insisted on following up the pace of the upgrade of weapons and equipment, and continuously improved and upgraded a scientific and technological innovation that won the second prize of military scientific and technological progress more than 10 years ago .

Nowadays, the upgraded version of digital innovations has shown its edge on the training ground.

  Growing up with this innovation, there is also a scientific research and innovation team-the assistant engineer Zeng Jiaolong who was in charge of software programming at the time has grown into a senior engineer in the brigade technology room; Pan Hailiang, Gao Feiyun and other non-commissioned officers have been promoted to the first-level sergeant major and become famous "Missile Soldier King".

  The scientific research and innovation practice of a missile brigade is the epitome of the Rocket Army’s deep rooting of science and technology training thinking and continuous training to improve actual combat capabilities.

  The missile weaponry is advanced in performance, technology-intensive, and complex in systems. It seems simple to operate. In fact, it requires higher scientific and technological literacy of officers and soldiers. Only by maximizing the enthusiasm and initiative of officers and soldiers in science and technology training can we insert "technological wings" for missiles to take off.

  A reporter from Science and Technology Daily saw that the light of science and technology illuminates the road to sharpening the sword from the Rocket Army Party Committee to the grassroots.

  In the "Changying Forum" held for many years, members of the Standing Committee of the Rocket Army Party Committee attended collectively, invited famous masters to give lectures, and collided innovative ideas, exchanged research experience, and solved surpassing problems in high-end academic seminars across disciplines, fields, and military areas.

  The Rocket Army Equipment Department regularly holds "three small" innovation competitions and innovative creative project competitions to discover outstanding scientific research results of the army, stimulate the potential of scientific research and innovation, and improve the army's ability to use scientific and technological innovation to solve practical problems in preparation and training.

The "Technical System of Missile Position Engineering" researched and developed by an assistant engineer of a certain department, Zhao Yanlei, won the prize in the competition, and was included in the annual scientific research plan by the Rocket Army along with 14 other projects for key support.

Zhao Yanlei said with deep feeling: "I didn't expect to be able to catch the express train of key support, but it also stimulated my motivation and vitality for technological innovation."

  Training troops through science and technology is inseparable from solid talent support.

  A certain base focuses on building a "think tank" for combat decision-making, a "main force" for technical checks, and an "incubator" for practical scientific research. It adjusts and optimizes the equipment of technical forces, improves the knowledge structure of the technical expert team, and has more motivation for innovation activities, so that ordinary soldiers have Show the stage of "grassroot scientific research".

  Engineer Tang Zhengping was transferred to a missile brigade in a deep mountain gully by a transfer order to serve as the head of a post that desperately needs professional talents.

Since taking office, he has creatively completed a number of research results related to emergency protection tasks in the formation of a new missile combat exercise.

  On the basis of solid talents, a high-rise building of technological innovation has been built.

Open the Rocket Army Talent Book, 6 academicians, 65 high-level scientific and technological innovation talents, more than 3000 third-level technical tops, more than 200 "three-type" non-commissioned officers...a large number of innovative talents have become the main force in assisting scientific and technological training. .

Turn technological advantages into war advantages

  Not long ago, the "Conventional Missile First Brigade" combat launch exercise entered an important process, but encountered thorny problems.

  After the senior engineer Chen Bing quickly checked the status, he connected with Xiao Longxu, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, on the spot, and quickly eliminated the problem with the help of a "remote consultation" of the expert team.

  The Rocket Army focused on the need for combat effectiveness construction, innovated scientific research mechanisms, and focused on the rich training and practice experience of grassroots technical backbones, allowing them to "embed" the scientific research team of academicians and experts, and work together to solve the bottleneck problem of combat effectiveness construction, and achieve a leap in the ability to win Style development.

  The key to victory over the future battlefield is to transform technological advantages into war advantages.

  In recent years, the Rocket Army has successively installed multiple types of information weapons and equipment, with higher integration, simpler operating systems, and systematic development of firepower assault capabilities.

In the process of transforming scientific and technological capabilities into combat capabilities, the missile combat radius has become larger and larger, and important breakthroughs have been made in the accuracy of firepower strikes and the types of damage targets, and the troops have formed a new quality combat capability system with an orderly connection of ranges.

  The "Heaven Sword" series of exercises organized by the Rocket Army has become an important platform for promoting strategic capabilities.

The reporter conducted in-depth interviews on the launch site several times and found a change: The classic scene of the trumpeter pressing the "ignition" button on time with the "5, 4, 3, 2, 1" countdown password has now gradually faded out field.

  Missile launching farewell to the countdown era is an important symbol of the leapfrog development of the rocket army's weapons and equipment.

In recent years, the Rocket Army’s force generation model has shifted from platform-led to information-led.

The unsupported launch of "no position, stop and fire" and the intelligent launch of "no countdown, one-key ignition" have promoted the rapid improvement of the Rocket Army's strategic capabilities.

  What has been developing and changing together with the equipment is the exploration and practice of all officers and soldiers focusing on their positions and taking advantage of the situation to leapfrog development.

  A regiment-level combat support force is formed by drawing more than 150 officers and soldiers from multiple brigades and more than 20 battalion-company-level units in the reform and reorganization. It is called the "outer brain" of the chief agency and the "assisting decision-making". Think tank".

The regiment has conducted in-depth research on the operational mechanism of command and support operations in theaters, bases, and missile brigades, broadened its horizons and increased its talents while integrating into actual combat command planning. It regularly sorted out basic data, damage plans, firepower plans, and battlefield geographic environment analysis. Recognize the opponent clearly and thoroughly study the strong enemy, so that the combat preparation will be more precise, fine and precise.

  For more than two years, this new quality combat support force has continuously tempered its experience, and has delivered hard-core transcripts in major missions.

Let innovation help training transformation

  The Northwest Desert, dripping into ice.

  In the freezing cold wind of minus 20 degrees Celsius, a comprehensive fire assault drill of a missile brigade of the Rocket Army is starting.

Xue Chunming, the driver of the brigade command vehicle and the third-level sergeant chief, used the independently innovative wartime network communication methods to accurately convey the "Chinese military account" combat instructions to the squad trumpeters, leading the launch unit to successfully complete multiple waves of fire assaults.

  Stepping off the military training ground, Xue Chunming told reporters that this set of wartime network communication methods had also experienced a period of "cold and shelved."

  A few years ago, when this set of wartime network communication methods was put into use, some officers and soldiers were not proficient in the operation process, and the exercise almost "bungled fighters."

In the subsequent training exercises, some units simply chose to use traditional communication methods to avoid mistakes and put their innovation achievements on hold.

  This phenomenon has aroused the vigilance of the "group" of the brigade party committee.

Their investigation found that in innovation, some units blindly seek more and more complete, but neglect the transformation and application of results; a few units disdain to use other people’s experience and have to "stand on their own" a whole set of "unique cheats", wasting a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources; and some The officers and soldiers were afraid of risks and responsibilities, and did not want to use them or dared to use them. As a result, the innovative achievements could not be converted into combat effectiveness in time...

  "Innovation must not only frequently ask about'cultivation', but also frequently ask about'harvest', so that every result can exert a strong combat effectiveness." The brigade leader said on the party committee.

  Subsequently, the party committee of the brigade organized several specializations, continued to carry out comprehensive communication experiments, optimized operating procedures, enriched methods and means, and finally formed a new experience, which was widely promoted.

  The reporter saw that while carrying out mass innovation activities on a regular basis, the Rocket Army units focused on the transformation and application of innovative results to ensure that one item of research and development was transformed; strengthened tracking and questioning, collecting data from each link, and real-time adjustment and improvement based on practice ; Strengthen exchanges and cooperation with relevant manufacturers, and vigorously promote innovative achievements that have been recognized by the military and have been tested in actual combat.

  A brigade set up a special task force and issued the "Three Small" Innovation Activities Implementation Plan, which included equipment that was highly generalizable and practically solved practical problems; a brigade established a fault-tolerant and error-correction mechanism to respond to innovation failure or innovation Tolerant of 10 situations that caused mistakes, praised the officers and soldiers who carried out technological innovation, and cheered the officers and soldiers who failed to innovate.

  Recently, a brigade launched a cross-day and night combat launch drill.

During the drill, a special vehicle suddenly "would".

Upon hearing the news, the accompanying security team immediately found out that the oil circuit was blocked and immediately replaced it, ensuring the normal progress of the drill.

  The efficient battlefield repair speed benefited from the transparent transformation technology of equipment tubing invented by Yuan Daoming, the second sergeant commander of the repair company.

In this regard, Yuan Daoming said: "This is nothing. In recent years, more than 30 innovations in the brigade have been practically tested in major tasks and have become a multiplier for improving the combat effectiveness of the army."
