Yanshan deep, a simulated set of modern cities.

armored vehicles broke into the city by force, quickly seize the main street, the roar of artillery, the use of tall, sturdy building and underground engineering facilities to establish the “enemy” core positions in smoke … this is the organization of a brigade of Beijing Military Region modern urban offensive operations exercise scenario.

smoke dispersed, looking a the ruins, could not help feeling Brigadier Bin: Jiequ buildings, a new exam is really big!

a “nothing to do with the city,” urban warfare

2008 March, Beijing Military Region army urban warfare, given the new task of the brigade task of training the pilot . Brigade headquarters staff officers have worked continuously for more than two months, determined to carry out urban warfare training content, methods, procedures and operational plans.

6 months, urban offensive combat exercise held as scheduled. “Red Army” troops of the “Blue Army” launched a fierce attack, the two sides repeatedly competing, stalemate stalemate for a long time. Finally, they found that “blue army” will focus on defense all deployed in a relatively flat city on the right. As a result, they avoid the “blue” line of defense, another example of mountain attack breakthrough success.

“Red Army” wins! Brigadier Bin but how can not be happy. Exercise recovery disk, Wang Lvzhang night with a headquarters staff officers exercise carried out by the whole round, by stage, by elements of the complex set of evaluation and refinement. The results for violent brigade chief of staff and staff were all accounted for that stared: “It was urban warfare? Clearly fighting a mountain of defensive attack the enemy battle!”

“Yes, we beside the point, forget the battle we should fight in urban offensive combat. hit later, we hit the mountain or the most adept offensive combat. “Brigadier Bin took the re-set the result of pondering why. Formerly Tongbaishan guerrilla force from the day it was born, is good at playing mountain warfare. For decades, they summed up dozens of mountain tactics. Today, the face of the city “blue army” tenacious defense, they hit themselves on the name of the name of “ace” on the.

the same time, Wang Lvchang also keen to find: They not only play wrong, “blue”, there are obvious problems: they are actually fighting a defensive position under field conditions, fighting in the defense , also ignored the city in this particular context. Thus, the two sides fought a “nothing to do with the city,” urban warfare!

smoke dispersed, the face of the ruins, “red”, “Blue” both sides are thinking: this city to fight the exam, what is the right solution?

a test of the “right solution” of the new papers

“in our military history have had a successful example of urban warfare, to fight Jinan, playing Shijiazhuang, Tianjin fight … but not yet the experience of modern urban warfare. the exercise ‘stray’, as to be expected. “review of the meeting, everyone was talking about.

turn our military’s history of war, can be found, the war of liberation in a series of urban battle, the army’s tactics mostly through careful surveillance, crucial for adequate preparation, focused use of artillery, extensive use of explosives, large-scale earthwork operations.

“must change the traditional idea of ??the old wars can not explain the problem, not to mention our military there to play Shanghai ‘china shop and mouse’ success stories. The study of modern urban warfare, our vision is broader , brains to live! “Brigadier Bin proposal, our military, foreign military, modern, modern urban combat a variety of careful study. Thus, a well-known city is listed out of battle: Battle of Stalingrad, Grozny, the Russian war in 1994, the U.S. war in Somalia … … some get to the bottom, they came out with nearly 20 million words of urban warfare theory material, summed up the intense competition for control of information, dimensional characteristics of prominent suddenly increased, and the mind-game complex, joint and combined arms operations throughout the characteristics of modern urban combat in the organization and command, deployment of troops, basic tactics, and saved vital forces, etc., explored to take long-range early warning, the first “enemy” to obtain intelligence, combined-arms and other means, the focus on the electromagnetic system of the city the right to seize the effective paralysis of the nerve center of the city such as defense and attack methods, developed a series of modern urban offensive combat The new tactics, new technologies.

idea of ??a change world wide. On this basis, they are by table-top exercises, simulation exercises and military exercise online, play against the laws of science, focused, feasible for repeated testing, to explore the infantry and armored cover technical leap forward in motion, open space collaborative technology , firearms and other special configuration of new urban warfare tactics.

a new face of “urban battle”

2009 mid-summer, a new urban offensive combat military exercise again Ran Zhanhuo.

reporter approached spectators, themselves: urban warfare broke out first on the Internet, the basic command post, the electromagnetic attack and defensive thrilling. A street, the heavily armed soldiers are surrounded by blockade of key targets, special combat unit to enter the building quickly, anti-chemical troops to put smoke inside the building, engineering for the successful implementation of the door blasting. Exercise, no group assault troops, but split up, with company, platoon and even class as a unit to form an independent combat units, and the “enemy” close street fighting … …

correspondent at the scene that a high-pressure water gun loaded with armored vehicles on a building’s windows smashed, two commandos will fall from the sky, quickly broke into the building. Then, by the scouts, chemical defense, engineering and other various special commando arm, the successful completion of an abandoned building search.

in the city’s northwest corner, the “enemy” relying on strong defense recalcitrant. At this time, a team consisting of tanks and mechanized units reached the battlefield special mixed combat team, armored combat vehicles, artillery precision, engineering fast blast barriers, anti-chemical warfare unit to provide smoke cover, quickly neutralized the “enemy” defense.

command car, trip to start a map, political commissar Li Guojun, told reporters: In today’s urban combat, museums, ancient buildings, monuments, temples, churches and schools, hospitals, residential areas and other places have been marked in all combat units on the map, requires careful identification of the officers and men, avoid using heavy weapons attack. Schmidt, a smile crossed his face: “But if the enemy entrenched here for a last-ditch, we have ways to deal.”

breaking analysis of “conquering” new concept

China has the old saying “lose ground”, which shows that “siege” since ancient times is the subject of military operations. Throughout the recent years in armed conflicts around the world, we can find a considerable number of conflicts occurred in urban areas. U.S. military report predicted: “By 2020, more than 70 percent of Earth’s population will live in cities, the city is the 21st century battlefield.”

the face of complex electromagnetic situation, highly concentrated populations, maze-like streets and row upon row of tall buildings Pan, we know some of the tactics obsolete, special operations teams, “pinpoint-style” combat, “peel-style” tactics to promote the more practical and other , how the decentralization of command authority, force firearms how to configure … … a new start toward us papers, but also requires us to constantly innovate to think, to answer.
