CCTV News:In 2015, the Saudi army equipped with a variety of advanced weapons did not take any advantage in the battle with the Yemeni anti-government organization Houthi. This proves once again that man is the main factor that determines the outcome of the war. No matter how advanced the weapon is, if it is not manipulated by well-trained soldiers, it is just a pile of scrap metal.
At the beginning of equipment upgrading, a battalion of the Air Force Ground Command in the Central Theater built a combat class with highly educated talents such as masters and doctors as the main body. In the past ten years, the number of personnel has changed, but the idea of building classes to educate people, learn and study war has not changed; The opponent is changing, but the determination to dare to fight and win remains unchanged; The goal is changing, but the glorious tradition of Excellence remains unchanged. They give full play to their advantages of solid theoretical foundation, excellent professional level and innovative thinking, calculate "tactics" with "arithmetic", turn "education" into "combat power" and bayonet "hardware" with "software".
Research and discussion on equipment technical problems in highly educated combat classes
Since the establishment of the combat class, three doctors and seven masters have been sweating here, and four to five master doctors have been in office for a long time. The beating and tempering of many major tasks and the gradual emergence of the talent gathering effect have made this combat class famous from the beginning to the present, and its combat effectiveness is among the best.
When I first landed on the battlefield, I set a record, and the bayonet test was sharp.
In April, the Hexi Corridor is still chilly in spring, and the snow can be seen on the Qilian Mountain not far away. At that time, the regiment was carrying out the first live-fire shooting mission since the dress change. It’s only a year before they pick it up.
After receiving the target-shooting task at the beginning of the year, the war service class began to study the subject of live-fire target-shooting, analyzed and studied the targets of different target aircraft, accurately calculated the radar target-finding ability and shooting disposal interval, and formulated the corresponding search and discovery methods and weapon parameter adjustment.
Equipment failure is inevitable. Although there are experts in charge of accompanying security, they secretly made up their minds: they must resolutely complete this task independently, solve any problems by themselves when they find them, and never form a dependence mentality, because experts can’t help you all your life! They took advantage of this rare opportunity to analyze and study the fault phenomenon, overcome the difficulties of inexperience, and independently troubleshoot four cases.
Looking back on the pick-up, several young people who had just graduated for a few years got together and, with the unique momentum of young people, tried to understand it thoroughly. Foreign experts will come up with their own notebooks every time they encounter problems, and they can always find the problem by flipping through them casually. They followed the foreign experts to sort out their notes, and found many things that were not in the textbooks and the tips for equipment support, which are still useful today. They have also become the "seed power" of equipment learning, and have successively trained 9 cadre technicians, 17 non-commissioned officers and 26 trumpeters. Several non-commissioned officers and technicians have the ability to inspect before the war.
On the day of live-fire shooting, the wind was blowing and the sky was high and the clouds were light. A few people are gearing up for a big fight.
Who thought that the first troops who appeared on the stage missed, and the pressure on He Feng, as the main technician, suddenly increased. It is my first time to participate in live-fire shooting, and suddenly I have to shoulder the heavy responsibility of the first hit of the troops, which is no small challenge for any intercepted officer.
There are less than 30 minutes to live ammunition. He Feng conducted the last pre-war weapon parameter inspection. He found that a certain parameter had a certain drift relative to the simulated resistance. Although small, it caught the attention of He Feng, and his intuition told him that it was likely to affect the final grade. After a short thought, he decisively asked for adjustment, but the drone was about to take off. He Feng said: "This parameter must be adjusted, otherwise my heart is not practical. If something goes wrong, I am the first responsible person!" The leader agreed to his plan. After rapid adjustment, He Feng calmly responded, found the target, intercepted and tracked it, and hit it in one go, and created a record of extreme low-bound shooting of this type of weapon.
Intercepted officer He Feng adjusts equipment technical parameters.
System confrontation is fatal, and you can practice the knife method of killing the enemy and fighting.
The "Red Sword" exercise is the first time that the regiment has been dragged to perform its task since it was newly installed. In the face of brand-new exercise rules, every officer and soldier has no bottom in his heart. How to deal with aviation low-altitude penetration? How to fight against anti-radiation missiles? How to quickly maneuver to preserve effective strength? These knowledge points, which are common in books, are now piled up and waiting for this fledgling army to answer them one by one. At this time, He Feng had left the team to go to school. At that time, Zhang Shaoping and Jing Xiaolong, the platoon leaders, had just graduated from master’s degree, which was the time when the war service class was green and yellow. Before the mission, Jing Xiaolong and others spent a year developing the "three-in-one" simulation training program software. Through the four-step training method of "theory-simulation-simulation-installation", officers and men can quickly strengthen the theoretical foundation, improve the operation and maintenance level and greatly improve the training efficiency within the limited equipment use time, and won the second prize of the Air Force simulation training software system.
Jing Xiaolong, software developer of three-in-one simulation training program
On the first exercise day, the opponent came to a duel. The autumn is crisp and the breeze is slow, and the air on the radar display screen is as calm as usual during training. Suddenly, a "civil aviation flight" changed its course instantly after approaching the "important place" and launched a missile to attack the ground. "No, we were cheated by the enemy disguised as civil aviation!" It turned out that the opponent deliberately flew silently along the civil aviation route, "incarnating" the civil aviation passenger plane, and unexpectedly, the magic soldier descended from heaven. The first battle gave them a blow: they have entered the battlefield, and a cloud may be the enemy!
They found that the core purpose of enemy plane penetration is to interfere with our radar, shorten the detection distance, make it impossible to track or even find the target stably, and then use anti-radiation missiles to attack the ground. Therefore, we must be familiar with the use conditions of enemy anti-radiation missiles and master the safe distance of our resistance in order to kill them effectively. In the intense task, Zhang Shaoping worked overtime to research and develop a software that can be used to quickly calculate the farthest fighting distance, and finally successfully "shot down" several anti-radiation missiles. The regiment created two records, the largest number and the largest proportion of ground air defense soldiers shooting down enemy planes. The battalion successfully fought against the directed group twice and was included in the classic case library. After watching the battle video, the head of the director department repeatedly boasted: "Your operation is flowing smoothly and seamlessly, and it is a force that can fight!"
Important drills make new contributions, and the knives are as fast as new.
The battalion conducted intensive training in fighting spirit in the equipment position.
Last year’s important drill task was the biggest challenge faced by the war service class since its establishment, and it was also the task that He Feng felt the greatest pressure. "The requirements for intercepting officers are too harsh. Without the experience of performing such tasks, I have no bottom in my heart. " He Feng has butterflies in his stomach.
Compared with other units, the position deployment of this battalion has a great disadvantage. Moreover, it is also found that the relative delay of indicating the target by the superior is the largest, which leads to the compression of the time to find the tracking target. In the case that external conditions cannot be changed, we can only pick the time from ourselves, and an action and a password must be completed in the shortest time.
After several times of follow-up, it is found that although the target trajectory is frequent and flexible, it is still regular. After precise calculation and simulation, they selected two countermeasures, but the requirements for the fighters, especially He Feng, are very high, and the fighters may be fleeting.
He Feng can’t help but recall the situation when he first participated in live ammunition shooting seven years ago. Time flies, and he once again faces the opportunity to make history. Facing the expectations of his comrades-in-arms, He Feng helped his glasses and said categorically, "I have no problem choosing the second plan!"
In order to provide a basis for optimizing the shooting process in the next step, Liu Xiaopeng used the image simulation processing software to draw the target trajectory in each time node for research and analysis. Flying after flying again and again, self-jamming training again and again is to intercept the target quickly, accurately and in time, and introduce grid theory to capture the target.
Long-term interception training left thick cocoons and incurable tenosynovitis on He Feng’s fingers and wrists. During the mission, I trained for more than 8 hours a day on average, dropped more than 30 bottles of eye drops and deepened my myopia by more than 100 degrees. But in the end, with the moment when the missile blossomed in the air, it all disappeared. "It’s not worth it, it’s worth it, and I feel it’s worth it if I don’t live up to the trust of my comrades!"
Editor’s note: As the core position, the combat squad plays a vital role in the task. "As long as they are there, the opponent is probably ‘ Cool ’ Yes. " Li Jiaheng, a member of the new combat class, told the author. As the youngest in the war service class, Li Jiaheng’s student days were full of flowers and applause: he published six papers in the core journals of military science, won two awards above the Air Force level, and won the third prize in the national postgraduate mathematical modeling competition once. After reporting for duty, Li Jiaheng said with emotion: "The masters are all masters and doctors, or their own majors ‘ Daniel ’ I am not highly educated, but I must study hard to keep up with their footsteps. " Less than 100 days after entering the camp, Li Jiaheng continuously intercepted four batches of targets for 35 seconds and successfully advanced to the passing standard. "Master" He Feng said with relief: "It seems that it was arranged for him ‘ Devil’s Package ’ No indigestion. "
Developing the "three-in-one" simulation training platform software, Jing Xiaolong, an antenna cabin technician, simply learned all the majors of the whole regiment; When making the software of safe distance resistance, Zhang Shaoping, then platoon leader, asked the aviation for the performance parameters of several active aircraft and air-to-ground missiles. Drawing a simulated trajectory map, the launch officer Liu Xiaopeng almost asked his comrades-in-arms in colleges and research institutes … … It is the tireless pursuit of the war service class to give full play to their own specialties, tap the maximum operational effectiveness of weapons and equipment, and turn knowledge into real combat effectiveness.
