The drums of war urge immediate action
It's the right time to train the troops
In recent days
The air defense unit of the 73rd Group Army
Closely aligned with real combat requirements
Conducted cross-regional long-range railway mobility delivery training
Honing the troops' rapid loading and long-range mobility capabilities



Loading site, every second counts
The guide's hand signals are sharp
The commands are crisp and clear
"Left turn, slow! Steady! Position!"
Heavy equipment smoothly drives onto the flatbed
Precise alignment, one-time parking
The commander strictly enforces standards
Emphasizing "not a bit off"
Ensuring the vehicle is upright and the center of gravity is stable


Reinforcement phase, seamless integration
The officers and soldiers cooperate seamlessly
Placing wooden wedges, tightening iron chains, locking buckles
The entire process flows smoothly
"Tighten the chain, lock the pin!"
Veterans guide and assist hands-on
Carefully ensuring vehicle protection and marking
The slogans on site are thunderous
The officers and soldiers adhere to the principle of "no mistakes whatsoever"
Building a solid safety defense line for mobility


Task site, clear division of labor
Personnel at each position cooperate closely
Guiding the equipment to enter
Precise positioning for docking, binding and reinforcing...
All steps strictly follow
The operational standards for railway loading in real combat
Completely eliminating formalism throughout the process


Inspection and conclusion, solid and reliable
The military and local safety officers conduct a comprehensive inspection of the loading situation
Pointing out issues vehicle by vehicle, board by board, point by point
The reinforcement team makes on-site corrections
Eliminating safety hazards
"Confirming that all vehicles are securely fastened and safe to proceed!"
As the verification order is issued
The convoy honks and sets off towards the training ground


This railway loading and delivery training
Is closely aligned with real combat, with no contingency plans
Efficiently honing the officers and soldiers
In collaborative efforts and battlefield support skills
Next, they will continue to deepen practical training
Solving the challenges of long-range mobility battlefield support
With solid capabilities to build a strong air and space security barrier
Iron flows towards the battlefield
Forging swords and shields to guard the air and space
Air defense elite, always ready for battle
