High Energy Sword! This Time the Artillery Live Fire is "Worth Watching"

Early autumn

In a training ground in northern China

The sound of artillery roars, and dust flies

The 81st Group Army's certain brigade

is conducting a

live-fire artillery shooting exercise

The exercise closely follows real combat

with a full range of elements and processes

to comprehensively test the troops' capabilities in complex environments

including long-range mobility, quick strikes, and rapid withdrawals

and coordinated strikes.

Before the exercise began

this brigade carefully arranged the battlefield

setting up various obstacles

establishing command posts, fire points

bunker groups, and simulated artillery positions

to allow the officers and soldiers to undergo rigorous training

in a realistic battlefield environment.

“Occupy Launch Position No. 1!”

Upon receiving the order from higher command

the officers and soldiers sprang into action

quickly deploying all combat elements

to complete shooting preparations.

This exercise

relied on an integrated command information system

to break down data barriers

achieving battlefield situation sharing

and direct transmission of combat orders

extending the command chain to the end

and connecting every combat node.

“Enemy armored cluster detected at Hill No. 3!”

With the sudden emergence of enemy threats

the commander quickly made a decision to strike

the gunners swiftly locked onto the target

“Prepare—Fire!”

With a command

the shells whistled out, heading straight for the target

after the first round hit accurately

each gun quickly relocated

adjusting firing parameters

to launch multiple rounds of fire coverage on remaining targets.

During the exercise

the drones and artillery fire units

worked closely together

conducting real-time battlefield reconnaissance and surveillance

quickly capturing explosion points

effectively validating the efficiency and accuracy of the “reconnaissance-transmission-strike” chain.

At the same time

the flexible networking of various reconnaissance, intelligence, and command equipment

achieved efficient transmission of all types of information.

The officers and soldiers also combined the exercise

with testing and verification of a self-developed shooting assistance system

exploring methods and means to complete combat tasks

based on multi-mode command links in various real combat scenarios.

Through the exercise

the integration of “practicing command, practicing coordination

and practicing support” was achieved throughout the process

effectively honing the artillery unit's

ability to cooperate and coordinate

and further enhancing

comprehensive strike effectiveness.
