Multiple artillery pieces firing simultaneously is super cool! Watch the army's live-fire shooting assessment →

Recently, a certain brigade of the 71st Group Army conducted a coordinated strike assessment involving artillery and air defense troops on the northern grasslands, focusing on trench and fixed-wing target shooting exercises to test the joint strike capabilities of the officers and soldiers.

At the start of the exercise, "enemy" aircraft quickly approached the position of the red team's fire strike unit. Faced with the sudden air situation, the vehicle commander accurately captured the incoming target in a complex electromagnetic environment and transmitted the target information in real-time to the command post. The air defense unit quickly locked onto the target, and multiple anti-aircraft guns fired simultaneously, accurately intercepting the incoming aerial target and providing air defense cover for the fire strike unit, successfully completing the fixed-wing target shooting assessment. After completing one round of fire strikes, the artillery and air defense units quickly transitioned to the reserve position to prepare for the second round of fire strikes.

Wang Jixiang, a certain brigade of the 71st Group Army: Although the air defense unit successfully protected our position and the "enemy" aircraft did not cause damage to our initial strike position, we decided to move to the reserve position for fire strikes to achieve better strike effects. This way, we can preserve our strength while readjusting our deployment to maintain continuous suppression of the "enemy" targets.

As night fell, the artillery unit used illumination rounds for long-range shooting, creating conditions for the fire strike unit's attack. Each gun crew quickly set the parameters and adopted a concentrated fire approach, forming a dense firepower net in a very short time to strike the target.

Xue Weishan, a certain brigade of the 71st Group Army: This assessment was organized using on-the-spot target designation and immediate firing methods, highlighting the rapid response capability in a simulated combat context. It required the officers and soldiers to complete the entire process of searching, tracking, and launching in a very short time, truly honing the combat capabilities of the troops under realistic conditions.
