Fill up the gunpowder and join hands to build peace-


  "Western·Joint-2021" exercises

  In early autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light at the foot of the Helan Mountain, and the breeze is slow on the Gobi Desert.

  In the south of the Yangtze River, which has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times, today a world-renowned joint actual military exercise has begun.

  The battlefield situation showed that the imaginary "terrorist organization" armor, infantry, and drones launched an offensive formation in an attempt to launch a harassment attack.

  Prior to this, the joint command headquarters of the "Western Joint-2021" exercise has completed strategic campaign planning and decided to integrate the combat forces of the Chinese and Russian armed forces participating in the exercise, modular formation and group deployment, and distinguish between early joint defense and comprehensive destruction systems. , High-speed three-dimensional attack, in-depth suppression and pursuit of 4 stages, to seize the predetermined mission area, and annihilate the "terrorist armed forces."

  The plan has been refined, the coordination has been completed, the order has been issued, the bullets have been loaded...

  Good attackers move on the nine heavens.

  At 10:30 on August 13, the roar of four J-20 fighters moved from far to near, releasing string jamming bombs in the predetermined airspace.

The actual military action drill officially kicked off.

  Immediately afterwards, two JH-7A fighters received target information through the data link, and projected laser-guided bombs under the guidance of the drone, taking the lead in launching attacks on targets such as the enemy's forward command post.

  After more than 20 new self-propelled howitzers launched a sudden fire attack, 12 Z-10 gunships entered at an ultra-low altitude, joined the air gun joint fire assault, and launched different heights and different heights against important targets such as the enemy’s forward command post, air observation post, and main firepower points. The direction of the superimposed attack.

  Where the bullet rain pours, the smoke rises into the sky.

  A mixed formation of the Chinese and Russian armed forces consisting of J-11, J-16, and Su-30 fighters entered the strike airspace. Under the command of the AWACS, they coordinated to take multiple batches of wave-style joint air assaults against predetermined targets on the ground, and it was delayed. "Terrorist armed" offensive.

  At the same time, the armored assault group composed of the Chinese and Russian armies was divided into three bunkers from the left, center and right, and spread out on the front line.

On the right, Russian officers and soldiers operated 3 Chinese armored assault vehicles to fire armor-piercing shells, accurately hitting targets 1,500 meters away.

  The firepower is intensive, and the requirements for command coordination are higher.

The command is divided into different levels, organized air force, army aviation, artillery, armor and infantry firepower, combined three-dimensional offensive, and gathered combat effectiveness.

According to ground direct fire, curved fire, and air demand for military aviation, parachuting, and fighter-bombers, the same combat airspace is divided into 7 levels.

On the exercise field, from time to time, fighters and helicopters were seen moving up and down the artillery ballistics.

  Under the combined assault of 4 waves of air and ground fires by the Chinese and Russian armies, the enemy's harassment attack suffered a severe setback.

  "Flying Leopard, Thunder, Lion, Sharp Knife, Iron Fist, Operation Lightning begins!" As the commander on the early warning aircraft issued a series of combat commands, the second phase of saturated firepower strikes began.

In the air combat group, multi-type mixed formation and multiple batches of three-dimensional attacks, the enemy’s important targets have been wiped out one after another...

  In order to speed up the process of the battle and seize important territories, the commander of the joint task force is determined to carry out a large-scale airborne in the depths of the battle.

The rocket artillery team on the left side of the battlefield adjusted the shooting elements according to the order, concentrated fire and suppressed the enemy's artillery positions, creating conditions for large-scale airborne.

  Subsequently, the Yun-20 and Yun-9 transport aircraft formation entered the scheduled airspace, and the first 180 airborne troops jumped out of the cabin under the conditions of "three noes" without weather data, no air guidance, and no ground markings.

The white umbrella flowers dotted the blue sky made the "terrorists" even more frightened.

  "Bang! Bang!" After two loud noises, curtain-like smoke rose into the air.

The two heavy rocket blasters launched by the Chinese Obstacle Breaking Unit opened up two 80-meter-long passages for the armored cluster at one time.

Zhang Yongtao, director of the after-installation support elements, said that during the exercise, they directly incorporated part of the engineering, blasting, repair and other support units into the Russian armored assault force, under the direct command of the Russian commander, and undertook the operational support tasks throughout the entire process. The deep integration of the two armies.

  The battle under Helan Mountain was still vigorous, and soldiers descended on the Gobi Desert.

At 10:52, under the cover of the Zhi-10 gunship, three transport helicopters hung the "Lynx" all-terrain vehicle and carried the special forces to complete the delivery in front of the enemy.

At the same time, 6 Y-20 transport aircrafts also completed reloading airdrops in predetermined areas, ensuring that the airborne personnel will have reloading support as soon as they land, ensuring the continuous combat capability of the troops.

  What is presented at this time is a spectacular scene of wave-like full-depth and saturated strikes: aviation forces carry out carpet bombing against the enemy's front, armor and army aviation carry out three-dimensional assaults from the front, and artillery carries out the barrage from the enemy's front to the depth. Shooting, special forces conduct airborne assaults against key targets of the enemy's defense system, and airborne assaults by airborne troops behind enemy lines...

  The images returned by drones and special reconnaissance show that the enemy's combat system has been destroyed and paralyzed.

  Tie Liu rolled out his might, dividing and advancing together to destroy the stubborn enemy.

  After fully grasping the initiative of the battlefield, the joint task force continued to carry out full-depth, three-dimensional, multi-channel attacks on the enemy.

  The visible battlefield is full of smoke, and the invisible battlefield is full of radio waves.

Behind the missiles and artillery shells launched by various combat platforms are as precise as the eyes, the "big intelligence" system supported by strategic early warning, campaign awareness as the hub, and tactical reconnaissance as the antenna is used to accurately guarantee target intelligence.

  On the big screen, two suspected high-value targets locked by the drone are displayed.

  "Flying eagles, flying eagles, immediately strike at target A." According to the instructions given by Liu Xiaowu, the commander of the joint command and the deputy commander of the Western Theater Command, the deputy commander of the exercise and the deputy commander of the Eastern Russian Military Region Nosulev organized the target research and judgment. , Directly command the drone in the air to carry out precision strikes on the "terrorist leaders" who fled in vehicles.

  Han Lin, the executive director of the exercise and director of the Strategic Campaign Training Bureau of the Joint Staff of the Military Commission, said in an interview with the media that the planning and design of the exercise reflects new thinking and new concepts, new forces and new equipment in the strength of the troops, and new systems in command and control. New methods, new concepts and new tactics in action.

In the exercise, new equipment accounted for more than 80%, tested many new subjects and tactics, and explored and practiced coalition operations methods of real-time optimization, multi-domain linkage, and quick decisive victory.

  The remaining courageous besieged the poor and pursued annihilation for complete victory.

With deep bombing, concentrated fire coverage, and precision strikes, the Chinese and Russian ground forces used the effect of fire cover to carry out joint clearance and suppression of the remaining enemies and completely wipe out the remaining "terrorists."

  As our new type of unmanned aerial vehicle completed a long-range targeted attack on the "terrorist leader" who was trying to escape, the actual combat exercise was over.

In just 40 minutes, the Chinese and Russian participating troops completed nearly 30 combat operations and launched hundreds of tons of various types of ammunition in the 48-square-kilometer real-force drill area, demonstrating the powerful capabilities of the two militaries to carry out joint counter-terrorism operations.

  The major powers jointly exercise their troops and join hands to defend peace.

The gunpowder under Helan Mountain has cleared, but the sound of guns resounding in the Qingtong Gorge will effectively deter the terrorist forces and their supporters who are trying to destroy peace and stability, and will surely reverberate for a long time in the long river of time.
