though a collaboration area routine military exercise, but it is filled with unusual. Has explored almost a hundred mountain warfare tactics of the Jinan Military Region, an armored division, riding Bohai Bay area salt water network in the armor of this terrain is not good, command mode, and through innovative tactics, prominent round after round of worries, in one fell swoop would be “short board” into a strong, were to come to headquarters to observe, experts spoke highly of the institutions.

airborne command post, opening up a new model of the battlefield command

armored ground forces commander can carry airborne command platform for the implementation of operational command? The idea in this military exercise for the first time become a reality. As the battle to the implementation of the rice water network to stage offensive operations, a roar of rotor transport helicopter in the sky, flew over the battlefield. Sit tight in the cabin of an armored Shifushizhang ZHANG Hong-liang, took off shortly after he began to implement in the air battle command and command platforms.

“airborne command post, I × ×, ‘enemy’ camp is the fourth depth Highway 12 along the radical, the advance party had entered the North 1.5 kilometers through the mountains.” “Jun Zhang” took off soon they received the first of the reconnaissance group of dozens of kilometers long Diao Zhongyuan report.

face complex battlefield, ZHANG Hong-liang I issued a directive :”××, air command post, to accelerate the motor in depth, detour to the mountain from the right wing under the direction of the implementation of the blow. “

correspondent pinch table calculation, just 15 minutes, the air command post command post has been co-ground disposal of nine basic emergency war situation. The “land Tigers’ armor in the title of the water network is not good rice ground clutter, flew in the air in the” telescope “, under the command, such as health wings.

exercise commanders, an armored division commander Xu introduced from zero, the information under the condition of open terrain on the back of the “enemy” offensive combat, powerful opponents, the battlefield situation changes quickly, aircraft fleeting, no time is not easy to build in the past used the tent and prepared to move forward command post command post. To this end, exercise command because of the situation change, try to establish the air command post, mobile command post not only fast, disposition time, and mobility without terrain conditions, vision, command time-sensitive, supporting the basic command post for effective control of the battlefield situation. This approach, pioneered the armored combat troops carry out a new model.

reporter learned that the joint air and ground command post command post together constitute the basic attack command centers in the brain, through the armed forces to achieve synergistic ground air radio interoperability, instead of armored units in use for many years forward command post and prepared command post. Airborne command post also has observed, directing two features, non-stop through the entire command of the battle command more accurate and efficient.

regularization equipment, breaking the water network rice “days barrier”

we all know, the terrain muddy rice water network in the armor known as “day barrier” of the terrain in combat, armored forces is inevitable that the “iron fist fight in the soft cotton” on the feeling.

Boom! Boom! “Enemy” attacks and artillery fire continued to detonate anti-tank ditches and other means to undermine the water network within the rice fields to the road. Looking around, frontal attack by a large group of rice to water, blocking the path network, the soft soil of paddy fields on the mud rolling, difficult to pass.

critical moment, the scene of action division chief Wang Jianzheng drills calm and ordered, along with the scene greeted the new landscape.

saw fire cover in place of armor, two pairs rapidly from tanks, armored vehicles, remove the bundle on a bundle of firewood along the track to move tanks placed on both sides, nearly 40 meters long period of paddy land, laying a few minutes to complete. The other side of the water less silt shallow ground, the crew drilled a few cars Tanqueray fixed quickly took off in their car for the laying of the six bundles of bamboo … … quickly, several tanks and armored vehicles roared through the water net paddy land.

At this point, the basic command center received a report: Right-wing unit forward a few more tanks blocked roads were destroyed. Basic command post immediately command the tank cars in front of the bridge, was the “enemy” was added to destroy the road from a standard iron bridge. Another follow-up tanks and armored vehicles from the iron bridge on the roar by.

the exercise, regularization tank bridge vehicles, machinery and blasting mine-clearing vehicles and tanks, and all other rescue trailer debut, the use of 30 kinds of standard equipment to test ways of overcoming them demonstrated improved to overcome the mud , ditches, cliffs, rivers and other natural barriers and anti-tank ditches, craters and other obstacles to capacity. Today, the division tanks, armored vehicles through a network of water to rice fields, muddy, Goukan Rulvpingdi, effectively improving the overall environment of complex forces combat capability.

flat conductor, the first assault to enhance the ability

Art of War says: soldiers uncertain situation, the water has no fixed form. Battlefields of the future, what kind of command and operational mode is the most accurate and effective? Faced with this issue, the armored division in the exercise has taken a valuable step.

“advance attack base note is the group I long for the line of the ‘enemy’ concentrated fire wiped out quickly!” The armored division belongs to a promise by the whole regiment suddenly become the group’s base attack long advance.

“obstacles set up team, I was the captain, quickly occupied their launch position, the implementation of mine, hysteresis ‘enemy’ action.” Obstacles set up team captain, head of an armored division workers, Liu Cun-Yu Carter, the number of vehicles consisting of disorders rocket set mine car team, before the implementation of the rocket mines, effectively delayed the “enemy” attacks.

obviously armored regiment participated in several exercises, can not hear a claim “I am the head,” the commander, the battle level of exercise is often the only group that appears a long, impressively in this drill in the column.

division political commissar Wang tree explanation: the operational environment rivers criss-crossing canals, lakes, reservoirs clouds, battle formation, easily split, does not facilitate the implementation of large grouping of operations; on the back of the “enemy” attack battle “enemy” to attack both sides exchange that I am, fighting and changing, direct time-demanding. Take group team-type organization, from the head, deputy head of the Chief of Staff, battalion commander, chief of operations as a group of organ length, the implementation of small groups attack, both to adapt to terrain features, in line with back against the “enemy” in war requirements, and enhance the first assault force.

traditional division, regiment, battalion, and even four command structures, in the exercise has become a “division – group” two-tier command structure, flat conductor is no doubt greatly increased the efficiency of command . “Jun Zhang”, the division commander be determined later, issued directly to the group, team commander, followed by the officers and men to convey to each battle group, instruction delivery fast is impressive.

rice in the open terrain of the water network, armor due to the change, because the “enemy” and change, because of the situation change, the division under the command of the battle group from the Air Force and other branches of the military forces and The battle group close together, act in harmony, the armored division of the fire attack abilities to the maximum, armored forces battle command mode is refreshing.
