Cross-day and night live-fire shooting, full firepower!
Tanks gallop, cannon fire roars
Recently, a certain anti-aircraft unit of the 71st Group Army
moved long distances to unfamiliar territory
to conduct cross-day-and-night live-fire training on topics such as
multi-unit network reconnaissance
and multi-firepower coordinated defense against
mid- to low-altitude target interception—
“Multiple batches of ‘enemy aircraft’ are stealthily attacking our air defense positions,
order your unit to quickly organize a counterattack!”
As the unit just arrived at the designated area,
the command post received an enemy situation report from higher-ups.
The officers and soldiers rushed to their battle positions
quickly occupied the positions and deployed equipment,
a network of air defense firepower quietly unfolded between sea and sky.
Inside the command cabin, radar operators closely monitored the screens
precisely identifying and firmly locking onto the “enemy aircraft” from the clutter.
After the commander assessed the situation,
he decisively ordered: “Long burst, fire!”
Shells whistled out of the barrels, and the target was accurately intercepted.
After the first round of counterattacks, the positions were exposed.
The unit quickly moved to the reserve positions.
In the deep night, the “enemy aircraft” launched low-altitude penetration,
saturation attacks, and other tactics against the positions.
Each firepower unit responded quickly and concentrated fire to counterattack.
Flames suddenly tore through the night sky,
tracer rounds shot straight into the heavens,
and multiple incoming targets were completely destroyed.
Day and night fierce battles, densely woven fire networks.
This training adopted continuous operations
and layered special situations,
effectively honing the anti-aircraft unit’s
comprehensive combat capabilities in air situation warning, command control, and firepower strikes.
The Army Air Defense troops are always ready for battle.
