From New Soldier Live-Fire Assessment to Full Element Drills for Reconnaissance Soldiers: The Army Training Ground is Fully Operational

Recently, a certain combined brigade of the Army's 73rd Group Army organized a live-fire armored shooting assessment, where dozens of newly trained armored crew members took their positions for the first time, facing the first challenge of their military careers.

Live-fire armored shooting assessment

Testing the combat capabilities of new crew members

With the command for the command post assessment issued, the new crew members immediately began their first live-fire shooting assessment. Each reference vehicle crew designated an experienced shooter to serve as the vehicle commander, enhancing the professional level of the new crew members through a mentorship approach. The new crew members quickly completed target search and identification according to the shooting steps, selecting the type of ammunition and shooting method based on the target, and decisively completed the firing.

Wu Yihan, a certain combined brigade of the 73rd Group Army: It would be a lie to say I wasn't nervous during my first live-fire shoot. The moment the cannon fired, my heart raced quite a bit. When the first round missed, I was momentarily stunned, but the squad leader had told me before that the more nervous you are, the more you need to trust every step you practiced.

Under the guidance of the experienced vehicle commander, Wu Yihan recalculated and adjusted the shooting elevation and density parameters based on the impact point of the first round and prepared for another shot. The second round of artillery roared out of the barrel, hitting the target accurately. Wu Yihan quickly got into the zone, closely coordinating with the crew members, and successfully completed all subsequent shooting assessment tasks.

Gong Kui, a certain combined brigade of the 73rd Group Army: This live-fire shooting assessment not only tested the training results of the new crew members but also honed their psychological quality and combat skills in the smoke of battle.

All-element combat drills assessment

Recently, a certain brigade of the Army organized all-element combat drills for reconnaissance troops in unfamiliar and complex terrain. The drills integrated the use of various reconnaissance equipment, multi-element coordinated operations, and practical applications of multiple firearms, honing the soldiers' capabilities in information sharing, coordination, and precise strikes.

Upon receiving enemy situation reports, each reconnaissance team quickly formed up and rushed to the task area. After arriving at the assembly area, each team swiftly launched reconnaissance actions.

The soldiers used drones for high-altitude reconnaissance, transmitting high-definition images in real-time to understand the overall battlefield situation; ground terminals quickly collected enemy position information, while each reconnaissance team relied on an information command platform to compile reconnaissance data in real-time, sharing key information such as location coordinates, enemy dynamics, and terrain conditions with command terminals and various operational teams.

Liu Qi, a certain brigade of the Army: This assessment had a complex battlefield situation. In response to different enemy situations, we efficiently integrated various reconnaissance elements, sharing intelligence to the information terminal at the first opportunity to ensure we could seize the initiative.

At the same time, the command group determined that the enemy command post was concealed within an abandoned building complex based on multiple intelligence reports, and immediately deployed a sniper team to occupy advantageous terrain, conducting strikes to clear the perimeter and provide cover for the assault action team. Each action team quickly stormed into the building to carry out operations against the enemy.

Lin Xin, a certain brigade of the Army: We always adhere to a practical approach, closely aligning with combat requirements, rigorously assessing and training under challenging conditions, honing the reconnaissance team's comprehensive operational capabilities in "reconnaissance," "control," "strike," and "evaluation," forming a systematic link to comprehensively test combat capabilities.
