"Two shots in a hurry, let it go!" With the commander's order, dozens of artillery shells roared out, and the target area was instantly covered by artillery fire... In the past few days, a marine brigade has moved thousands of miles from western Guangdong to northern Guangxi. In an unfamiliar area, we organized a full-process live-fire assessment to comprehensively test the long-range mobile combat capability of the armored detachment.

  According to the leader of the brigade, the assessment focuses on improving the core combat capabilities of the armored detachment. Multiple subjects such as railway loading and unloading, platoon combat shooting, etc. are implemented in a coherent manner.

  Not long ago, the detachment had just arrived at the scheduled loading area from the camp, and received an order: "Be sure to complete the loading within two hours and prepare for departure." However, the types of vehicles in the loading echelon are complex, wheeled vehicles, tracked armor, wheeled armor, Light tanks and other loading requirements are different, and the task time is tight, which increases the difficulty of loading to a certain extent, and also puts forward higher requirements for the operation of officers and soldiers.

  "The track of our armored vehicle is 17 cm wider than the train plate, but according to the loading requirements, the error between the track and the plate should not exceed 1 cm."

  "The speed is 800, keep it stable!" The company commander Peng Sigan's command came from the radio. The officers and soldiers quickly adjusted the vehicle status, "check the gear, observe the instrument parameters, turn on the clutch, release the brake, engage the gear..." Driving The crew and the captain cooperated to quickly and safely drive the vehicle onto the train platform.

  After the loading was completed, Peng Si dared to gather the backbone to give a small comment: "If you encounter difficulties, you can't be in a hurry and you must solve the problem with the major you have learned. Next, we still have a 'hard battle' to fight."

  After more than 20 hours of railway transportation, the officers and soldiers arrived at an unloading station in northern Guangxi as scheduled.

"The driver keeps the speed, and the rest count the materials." With the experience of fast loading, the members of each crew completed the unloading in an orderly manner.

  "After receiving the instructions from the superior, our department will quickly move to the scheduled assembly area." After the battle order was issued, the officers and soldiers quickly adopted motorized maneuvers to go to the shooting area.

According to reports, the officers and soldiers of the mission team will be teleported to a designated location through multiple echelons to rendezvous.

  "Yangzi No. 1, your car's tracks are seriously damaged, and you need to repair it immediately to complete the follow-up tasks." During the maneuver, the car group where Shi Juwei, a platoon leader of the brigade, received a special situation randomly added by the guide team.

The broken track was on the side of the ground, and the vehicle could not be started. As the commander, Shi Juwei could only take the crew on the ground full of mud for repairs.

  The sky was drizzling, and the passwords were constantly on the radio.

After dealing with the special situation of "track damage and disconnection", I just wanted to continue to go to the shooting area, but I didn't want a new situation report on the radio: "Due to the long maintenance time and the exposure of the position, the driver was 'injured', and he was evacuated immediately for treatment." Shi Juwei had to arrange for the "wounded" to be evacuated, then took the driver's seat and led the crew to continue the follow-up tasks.

  "No. 1 Chinese alligator, southwest, chariots, destroy and execute!" The command post randomly instructed the target, Shi Juwei immediately searched for the target quickly, and then issued an order: "Attention to all vehicles! The 'enemy' chariot in front of the right, marching to annihilate !" A cannonball roared out of its chamber and headed straight for the "enemy" chariot.

With a loud noise, the "enemy" infantry fighting vehicle was hit.

  "First hit!" Before the smoke cleared, Shi Juwei received the order to "continue to destroy" from the assessment team.

The first hit, why continue to shoot?

The reason of the superior commander convinced him: "The anti-personnel blasting bomb did not cause destructive damage to the infantry fighting vehicle, the turret can still operate normally, and the 'enemy' infantry fighting vehicle is still capable of fighting."

  "Bang, bang!" Only two loud noises were heard, two shells hit one after another, and the "enemy" infantry chariot was completely destroyed this time.

  "I didn't expect the 'order' to come so quickly. During the maneuver, special circumstances continued, 'severe damage to the road ahead', 'driver casualties', and 'severe damage to the vehicle'... The officers and soldiers really realized the movement in the examination room, and everyone The body is covered with mud, rain and oil, and it really feels like going to the battlefield." Shi Juwei said with emotion as he walked out of the examination room.

  "Close to the actual combat is only the beginning, and winning the battlefield is the key." Wang Renjie, staff officer of the brigade's operation and training section, said that the main purpose of organizing this long-distance live ammunition delivery assessment is to fully construct the environment and situation in line with the future battlefield during the long-distance maneuvering process. , to break the previous inertial thinking such as "rest after maneuvering" and "only one special situation". While testing the combat capability of the armored detachment, look for the difficulties and shortcomings found during the assessment, and conduct targeted intensive training to continuously improve the remoteness of the detachment. Mobility and quick response.

  Wang Renjie introduced that the assessment is not over yet, and subjects such as platoon combat shooting and company combat shooting drills are about to kick off in the mountains of northern Guangxi.
