Wang Yi and Jia Hongwei report in this newspaper: Scouting battlefield situation, reporting back "enemy situation" dynamics... Recently, in the hinterland of southern Henan, a reconnaissance unit of a brigade of the 82nd Group Army carried out a cross-day and night continuous training in an orderly manner.

During the training, the officers and soldiers used the cover of night to march towards the target area. "Pass through the 'contaminated area'!" During the march, a special situation suddenly occurred. The officers and soldiers quickly put on protective gear and quickly passed through the "contaminated area". "'Enemy' aircraft are approaching!" As soon as one wave subsided, another wave rose. The officers and soldiers quickly evacuated and hid deep in the dense forest, successfully avoiding the reconnaissance of the "enemy" aircraft.

"Only by training like we fight in peacetime can we fight like we train in wartime." The brigade leader introduced that in this training, they focused on dangerous and difficult subjects, set up the tactical background from a difficult and strict perspective, and through the integration of multiple subjects and the superposition of multiple special situations, they effectively tested a variety of tactics and strategies, and further enhanced the reconnaissance team's ability to carry out combat missions.

Encountering "enemy" traps, personnel "injured"... Along the way, the officers and soldiers kept dealing with the tricks and became more and more courageous. In the middle of the night, a shower came unexpectedly. The rainy night environment increased the difficulty of carrying out the mission. The officers and soldiers continued to move towards the target area with the help of night vision equipment. At dawn, the officers and soldiers successfully approached the "enemy" frontline position, carried out all-round reconnaissance of the "enemy" target and quickly sent back information, and cooperated with the firepower unit to successfully destroy it.

At dawn, the training ended and the soldiers immediately started to review the training. They discussed the shortcomings and weaknesses exposed in the training and proposed improvement measures to further improve the tactics and methods and enhance the combat capability of the troops.

Rocket Force Brigade

Focus on weaknesses and strengthen training

Li Yue and Wang Chongxing reported in this newspaper: Recently, in the desert Gobi, a brigade of the Rocket Force conducted an intensive simulated launch training. The command and control group set up a variety of special situations according to different scenarios to comprehensively test the emergency response capabilities of officers and soldiers.

"The current position is exposed, change position!" During the training, a launch team encountered "enemy situation" as soon as it moved to the designated launch position. The commander of the launcher decisively issued an order, commanding the launchers to race against time to complete the equipment withdrawal and rapid maneuvering to the reserve position. The strike targets were continuously changed, and the main operators withdrew from the battle... After the officers and soldiers arrived at the reserve position, complex special situations followed one after another. The officers and soldiers cooperated closely and responded flexibly, successfully handling various special situations.

"The weaker the points, the more we need to focus on them; the more complex the conditions, the more they can hone the troops." The brigade leader introduced that during the training, they focused on the difficult points of training, set up a variety of special situations on the spot throughout the process, and honed and improved the troops' emergency response capabilities in a battlefield environment close to actual combat.

The training entered a critical stage. The missile launcher lost communication with the superior command post. The operator quickly switched the communication mode. With the sound of "beep beep" in the launcher, the communication was successfully restored. "3, 2, 1, ignite!" With the command, the missile was successfully "ignited and launched".

"By focusing on our shortcomings and weaknesses and strengthening our training, our awareness of the enemy situation and our actual combat capabilities have been significantly improved." Walking off the training ground, the on-site commander said that they found problems and tested combat methods during training to help accelerate the improvement of the troops' combat effectiveness.
