Infiltrate the Dense Forest, Scale the Cliff, Charge Forward... The Scouts Strike!

Recently,

a reconnaissance unit from the 71st Group Army

organized a practical exercise for infiltration and strike behind enemy lines

in the wild mountainous forest.

The entire exercise created a complex battlefield environment,

embedding various real combat scenarios on the fly,

deeply integrating multi-source reconnaissance and strike coordination tactics.

In extreme conditions and challenging environments, the troops were tested,

refining the reconnaissance soldiers' capabilities for all-domain infiltration

and precise enemy engagement—

Space and air networking, precise path marking for infiltration

After the exercise commenced,

reconnaissance drones took off in succession,

quickly weaving a multi-dimensional reconnaissance corridor in the air.

Relying on the real-time high-definition images transmitted by the drones,

along with three-dimensional terrain modeling data,

the command post quickly assessed the overall battlefield situation,

systematically identifying the "enemy" frontline defense configurations,

weak points, and reconnaissance blind spots.

Combining terrain characteristics, they tailored multiple highly concealed deep infiltration routes,

accurately marking the direction for subsequent assault actions.

Overcoming obstacles, covertly penetrating deep

After receiving the infiltration mission,

the reconnaissance team quickly maneuvered along the designated route

in light assault vehicles.

On the way,

a stretch of unfamiliar water lay ahead,

followed closely by a vertical cliff over ten meters high.

These two natural barriers blocked the pre-set maneuvering route.

Faced with these challenges,

the reconnaissance backbone was the first to leap into the river,

conducting an armed swim.

After reaching the shore, they quickly secured an anchor point,

setting up a temporary rope bridge with a tow line.

The team members, carrying full gear,

maintained tactical posture,

and sequentially crossed the water using the tow line.

When confronted with the steep cliff,

team members pressed against the rock wall's dead angle,

alternately covering each other to implement covert climbing.

They silently broke through several natural obstacles,

infiltrating into the core defense area behind the "enemy."

Multi-route coordination, integrated reconnaissance and strike for precise attacks

After successfully infiltrating the mission area,

the reconnaissance team quickly organized into multiple groups,

simultaneously launching reconnaissance and strike operations.

The fire guidance group, using the dense forest vegetation,

covertly concealed with individual camouflage nets,

utilized laser rangefinders and multifunctional observation and positioning equipment

to calculate the "enemy" troop deployment at each point,

and the precise coordinates of core positions.

Groups of target data were transmitted back to the command post in real-time,

providing reliable intelligence support for precise strikes by long-range firepower.

The assault group, using the cover of the dense forest,

advanced in a low profile,

controlling a small drone to conduct precise strikes on the "enemy" key fortifications.

After quickly identifying and locking onto high-value targets,

they immediately launched a covert assault,

successfully completing the predetermined mission behind enemy lines.

Training through combat, iterating and upgrading combat capabilities

This exercise abandoned the traditional single-subject,

linked training model,

focusing on highlighting three-dimensional reconnaissance,

intelligence integration, and reconnaissance-strike coordination,

as well as the practical application of new combat forces.

The entire process adopted dynamic confrontation,

with random guidance,

to hone the officers and soldiers' abilities in on-the-spot handling and coordinated combat.

In the next step,

the brigade will always anchor on real combat needs,

promoting the continuous iteration and upgrading of new reconnaissance forces' combat capabilities,

constantly solidifying the foundation for the troops to perform diverse

military tasks.

Reconnaissance elite, always ready for battle.
