15 red-blue confrontations witnessed by a sergeant

  There was only a harsh noise in the earphones.

Under the electromagnetic interference of the red side, Wu Liangqing, the gun commander and sergeant of the blue fighting vehicle, lost contact with his superiors.

  Without superior intelligence support and further action instructions, they could only follow the original route, while reconnoitating the "enemy situation," while continuing to advance toward the deep red positions.

  This road is extremely dangerous.

At the most thrilling time, Wu Liangqing even saw the muzzle of the black hole of the "enemy" tank aimed at his chariot.

At the critical moment, he took the lead in attacking with excellent technology and escaped in time.

  The noise in the headphones suddenly changed.

Intermittently, Wu Liangqing heard: Quickly return to Highland No. 2 and wipe out the "enemy" paratroopers!

  Height 2 is where the blue basic command post is located.

On the way back to the aid, Wu Liangqing saw through the sighting system that a red helicopter was landing paratroopers in the blue hinterland...

  The red side broke through the blue side's air defense system and carried out large-scale airborne surprise attacks, something Wu Liangqing had never encountered in previous exercises.

  The sudden attack caught the blue defense forces by surprise.

Fortunately, the assault troops responded in time, and the blue side paid a heavy price before bringing the situation back.

  In the 15 red-blue confrontation drills that Wu Liangqing participated in, this scene made him particularly memorable.

  "Compared with the confrontations we fought when our blue army was first formed, the red team now has more and more diverse tactics." Wu Liangqing said, "From the past with simple personnel and equipment head-to-head, now electromagnetic offense and defense are everywhere; From the usual front-line flat push tactics used in the past to the paratroopers descending from the sky, the space and dimensions of the confrontation are expanding, and the confrontation between the red and blue sides has experienced escalations."

  Replaying the 15 red-blue confrontation exercises Wu Liangqing experienced, we can not only see the growth of a soldier, but also have a glimpse of the pace of our army's professional blue army troops' accelerating combat effectiveness building since the adjustment and reform.

  "The red team is getting harder and harder to play, which just shows that our sparring team has achieved results"

  "Destroyed" 3 infantry vehicles and "killed" 10 red infantrymen-this was the first result achieved by the blue infantry combat vehicle gunner, sergeant Wu Liangqing and his comrades in this red-blue confrontation exercise. .

  However, this result made Wu Liangqing in the chariot feel a certain chill.

  Just a year ago, this brigade was also responsible for the main task of the red team.

In that battle, more than a dozen combat vehicles of various types on the red side were encircled by the blue side due to improper tactics.

Among them, many "killed" were under Wu Liangqing's artillery.

  "In just one year, I must re-recognize this old opponent in front of me!" Using the sighting system, Wu Liangqing saw that in a few seconds, more than a dozen red chariots rushed out of a forest, alternately covering in battle formations. , Burst into the blue front position.

  When Wu Liangqing saw the weaponry of this offensive unit clearly, the infantry vehicle he was in also entered the opponent's anti-armor fire range.

  "Once the opponent launches a saturation attack, the survival rate of our infantry vehicle is almost zero." Based on this judgment, Wu Liangqing's infantry vehicle quickly left the bunker, used terrain to cover, and retreated to a reserve position.

  Wu Liangqing and his comrades breathed a sigh of relief.

When they were just preparing to counterattack, the company commander Hu Jiajun's order came from the radio: "Quickly return to Highland No. 2!"

  It turned out that while Wu Liangqing and the others were fighting with the red offensive unit, the red left-wing offensive force had already attacked the blue deep height 2.

  The news surprised Wu Liangqing.

  The blue side fully defended, and the red side finally gave up the attack due to excessive loss of force.

Wu Liangqing and his comrades were still alarmed at the sinister “battle situation” just now.

  This fierce battle was the 15th red-blue confrontation Wu Liangqing experienced.

  Looking back on the past, Wu Liangqing's Blue Army unit won the first few red and blue confrontation drills by an overwhelming advantage.

However, if those red troops lose a match, they will review once and focus on a round of refinement, and their combat effectiveness will increase by a level.

  Wu Liangqing's most intuitive feeling is that in a single confrontation exercise, he has fewer and fewer red targets for "death" in his hands.

  "The red team is getting harder and harder to play, which just shows that our sparring team has produced results!" After passing these 15 red and blue confrontation drills quickly in his head, Wu Liangqing felt a certain pride, "This is the existence of our blue army. Meaning."

  In the next battle, Wu Liangqing and his comrades switched to the main attacker.

  At first, they successfully broke through the red defensive position.

However, this excessive smoothness made Wu Liangqing uneasy.

  Wu Liangqing realized that the red side might have an ambush.

He reminded the driver to slow down and stepped up his search for targets with the help of a thermal imager.

  Sure enough, Wu Liangqing found a closely disguised heat source and judged it as a red tank.

Thinking of the "enemy" targets in such a tight camouflage ahead, I don't know how many there are, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on Wu Liangqing's back.

  Just before he pressed the "percussion" button, the chariot he was in received a "heavy punch" and was "hit" by the red machine cannon.

Fortunately, the fire control and power systems of the chariot are not a major problem.

  As the chariot drove fast on the grassland, Wu Liangqing and his comrades evaded the attack while searching for the target to fight back.

  The atmosphere in the car became more tense after the offensive and defensive changes.

In the cold winter, Wu Liangqing's forehead was sweaty: "It feels like running under the gun of a hunter."

  After a thrilling contest, the red square was captured.

But they created many dangerous situations for the blue side and gained the respect of the blue side officers and soldiers.

  In this battle, the blue reconnaissance team returned empty-handed, and the electronic warfare carried out by the electronic countermeasure team against the red team was also extremely difficult.

In Wu Liangqing's car group alone, two crew members were "dead".

  "The tactical literacy of the red team is extremely high, quick response, professional action, shooting precision, it is difficult to find the opportunity to aim." Sniper rifleman Xie Yafei said, "the situation of strong blue and weak red is changing. If we don’t hurry, the red team It is only a matter of time before we beat us."

  "In the same exercise area, we have changed from familiar to unfamiliar, and the real battlefield environment is rapidly changing far beyond imagination."

  For this area where there have been many exercises, Wu Liangqing can record almost every ditch.

The more confrontation exercises he has, the more familiar he should be with this area, the more sure he will win.

However, the fact is quite the opposite.

  During the confrontation exercise, Wu Liangqing just loosened his finger on the speaking button, and suddenly there was a piercing "Bhhhhh" sound from the earphones.

  "Electromagnetic interference!" Wu Liangqing reacted instantly.

Although they are very close to Captain Li, they can hardly hear each other.

  According to the pre-war communication coordination plan, Wu Liangqing quickly used the spare frequency.

However, the sound of "buzz" in my ears still kept ringing.

  Affected by electromagnetic interference, the coordination of infantry fighting vehicles and infantry units that could not communicate was blocked, and the combat formation of the infantry units was disrupted for a time.

When the blue officers and soldiers were unable to communicate and coordinate effectively, they separately attacked the "enemy" in depth.

  On this familiar battlefield, they lost contact with their friends and neighbors, were unable to obtain intelligence support from their superiors, and even failed to communicate effectively with the car. Wu Liangqing and the others became "eyes blind."

When the opponent flew multiple drones, the battlefield became almost "one-way transparent."

  The familiar training ground became perilous, Wu Liangqing felt an unprecedented sense of strangeness, and the battle situation also took a turn for the worse——

  The tanks and infantry fighting vehicles on the "enemy" deep positions continued to use firepower, and many blue tanks were destroyed; while the large forces charged forward, the blue basic command post was threatened by a red "strange soldier" , If it hadn’t been for the assault troops to return in time, Lan Fang would have almost ushered in a defeat...

  This is a difficult battle.

The opponent's red team is a certain synthetic brigade that maneuvered across domains.

This powerful opponent used a variety of innovative play styles, making Wu Liangqing strange to this familiar battlefield again.

The strangeness at this moment was completely different from the strangeness Wu Liangqing had when he first arrived on this battlefield.

  It’s hot in summer and dry and cold in winter. The wind often floods the camp with sand and dust...Wu Liangqing, a man who grew up in Hunan, always had dry lips during the first year he came here, and he always had nosebleeds several times a month. Getting rougher.

  The impact of bad weather is second.

When he first arrived at the training venue, Wu Liangqing often lost his sense of direction.

The endless, copy-and-paste-like grassland landscape gave him the illusion that "after walking for a long time, I always thought that he had turned to the same place again."

  Judging directions, recognizing maps and using maps, orienteering, Wu Liangqing supplemented his military topography skills in a short period of time. Together with his comrades, he stepped on every piece of grass in the field with his feet, and his body gradually adapted to the changing climate of the grassland.

After the rain, where on the seemingly dry ground of the grassland can wheeled vehicles and tracked armored vehicles get stuck, he can see clearly from a distance.

  The chariot gallops, spring goes and autumn comes.

In the previous exercises, in this familiar land, Wu Liangqing and his comrades defeated the fighting attempts of the Red Army again and again and won the victory in the confrontation.

  However, the combat effectiveness of the Red Army is escalating, and the style of play is innovating, and the battlefield that Wu Liangqing is familiar with has also been "transformed" gradually unfamiliar.

  "In the same area of ​​the exercise, we have changed from familiar to unfamiliar, and the real battlefield environment is rapidly changing far beyond imagination." As electronic countermeasures began to be associated with the two sides and became an important force affecting the progress of the battle, Wu Liangqing should not only be familiar with the grasslands. Soil, air, and electromagnetic waves must also be understood everywhere.

  Facing the battlefield that became strange again, Wu Liangqing made up his mind to become familiar with this battlefield again.

  "Faced with the ensuing honor, from the excitement at the beginning to the calmness now, we have grown rapidly in the actual melting pot"

  A new battle has begun.

The blue interspersed squad consisting of chariots and tanks raided the grasslands at high speed, rolling up the dust in the sky.

  In early winter, the temperature dropped sharply on the Horqin grassland.

In the leader's room, Wu Liangqing wiped the sweat from his eyebrows and quickly put his hand back on the handle.

He stared at the thermal imager with eyes wide open, for fear of missing something.

  "No. 2, I'm the administrative officer, 1500 meters to the left, enemy tank, over!" As soon as the commander's voice fell, a cannon-launched missile burst out of the chamber.

After a few seconds, the target screen on the thermal imager disappeared.

  Almost at the same time, Wu Liangqing felt the body shake suddenly.

Intuition told him that it was not the reaction of the missile out of the chamber, nor was it the bumps caused by bad road conditions.

  Wu Liangqing's inspiration flashed: There is only one possibility-enemy fire strike!

  "Evasion movement!" Wu Liangqing urgently reminded the driver He Bo.

The chariot moved forward in a serpentine shape, while Wu Liangqing quickly turned the turret to search for the "enemy" fire.

  Through the abnormal shaking in the wormwood in the distance, Wu Liangqing boldly speculated that under the wormwood should be the smoke vent of the "enemy" tank or combat vehicle.

  Quick aiming, rough ranging, decisive firing... Within seconds, a cleverly camouflaged red tank was "destroyed."

  All the way, Wu Liangqing's team was blocked by the red fire, destroying multiple "enemy" armored targets, and successfully interspersed to the red core position.

  At the end of the exercise, Wu Liangqing's team was once again named "Excellent Cycling".

This is the 8th time they have won this honor.

  Wu Liangqing was personally rated as the "Sagittarius Pacemaker".

Earlier, he was named one of the "Top Ten People" of the Blue Army, and there is a large photo of him on the light box of the pacesetter on the main road of the barracks.

  Facing the honor, Wu Liangqing did not feel particularly excited, but was unusually calm.

In contrast to the company's review of the situation, he listed the problems he exposed during the exercise as the focus of the next training.

  "I feel more pressure, always thinking about what shortcomings in my skills and how to further improve." Wu Liangqing remembered that when this blue army was just formed, he and his comrades had won several battles in succession. Very excited about the honor.

  After 15 confrontation drills, Wu Liangqing has a new understanding of winning or losing and honor.

  "If we win, it proves that our efforts have not been in vain, but we must also reflect on whether we can win the next game and how to win." Wu Liangqing said, "If we lose, it means that we have trained the red side. It is also a wake-up call to accelerate the transformation and upgrading of combat effectiveness."

  Throw away the burden of winning or losing, go straight to the problem training, learn from your opponents, and make your own car group's combat skills improve faster.

  The confrontation exercise came to an end. The red and blue sides sat together to organize a review-style rehearsal, and held two-way seminars and Zhuge Liang meetings to jointly check and fill vacancies.

  "In the face of the ensuing honor, from the excitement at the beginning to the calmness now, we have grown rapidly in the actual combat furnace." Wu Liangqing said.

  Another red-blue confrontation is about to unfold.

In the freezing cold wind, Wu Liangqing brought self-heated food for the individual soldiers and went to inspect the terrain with his comrades.

As a professional coach for the company's gun commander, he conducted a temporary assessment of the new gun commanders on the way.

  Looking at these young gunners concentrating on thinking, Wu Liangqing thought that if they drew themselves from the list of the "Top Ten People" in the future, it means that their team has "evolved" again.
