Reporter Xu Youqiang:
I am currently at a certain outdoor comprehensive training ground in the eastern Anhui region, where the officers and soldiers behind me are busy constructing positions, unsealing ammunition, and conducting final checks on the artillery. Soon, they will use direct aiming and semi-direct aiming methods to carry out precise strikes on targets 3 kilometers away.
As the exercise began, the artillery group quickly occupied their positions, while multiple reconnaissance teams stealthily advanced to the front line, relaying target locations back to the command post. Based on real-time battlefield data, each artillery terminal autonomously set the firing parameters to carry out precise strikes on key targets such as enemy fire points, communication hubs, and missile launch sites.
Soldier Zhang Ziliang from the 71st Group Army’s certain combined brigade:
In the past, during shooting, the firing parameters and corrections were directly issued by the command post. However, in this exercise, the reconnaissance, target determination, parameter corrections, and live-fire shooting were all independently completed by our artillery team.
During the exercise, this brigade configured howitzers, rocket launchers, and anti-tank missiles into a comprehensive firepower network, focusing on battlefield reconnaissance, firepower perception, and firepower strikes, with multi-type artillery coordination enhancing the destruction effect.
Company Commander Gao Mingming from the 71st Group Army’s certain brigade:
This method of combining multiple types of artillery and cross-firing is the most direct and effective form of fire support in combat. It can not only precisely destroy enemy armored targets at close range but also suppress multiple distant targets, maximizing the comprehensive strike capability of the artillery.
After two rounds of fire strike missions, each artillery piece quickly withdrew from their positions, moved to the reserve positions, reset the firing parameters, and used semi-direct aiming to strike targets again at a distance of 5 kilometers.
Chief of Staff Zhang Qingfeng from the 71st Group Army’s certain brigade:
In this live-fire exercise, we optimized the firing methods and integrated firepower resources, focusing on the autonomous reconnaissance, decision-making, and strikes of each firepower combat unit for comprehensive testing.
