"We are proud to drive the 99A tank" ■ PLA Daily reporter Liu Jianwei, special correspondent Xiao Shijin Mighty and domineering are the intuitive feelings brought to people by the tank, the "king of land warfare". Recently, the reporter came to a synthetic brigade of the 82nd group army to see the majesty of our 99A main battle tank. Entering the field training ground of the brigade, just in time for them to organize tank live fire assessment. Standing on a high ground not far from the shooting range, the reporter clearly saw that the speeding tank was shooting at the target in motion. In an instant, the firelight and loud noise brought by the shell came out of the chamber, which shocked the reporter - the ferocity and domineering of the tank is fully displayed at this moment. It is reported that 99A tank is equipped with advanced fire control system and information system. It is the first digital main battle tank in the real sense of our army. "As tank soldiers, we are proud to be able to drive 99A tanks!" After returning from shooting and talking to reporters, the words of officers and soldiers were heroic. As a strong force of the Red Army from the flames of the Pingjiang uprising, from the first motorized force to the first mechanized force to the first digital force, they have always been the vanguard of the transformation and construction of the army. From type 59 tank to Type 99 tank and then to type 99A tank, they witnessed the upgrading of our army's main battle tanks and the great leap forward development of the army. In the key capture and control combat drill of the brigade's synthetic battalion, the reporter followed the officers and soldiers to feel the power of type 99A tank at close range. It has the characteristics of high shooting accuracy, good mobility, strong protection ability, sufficient assault force and high degree of informatization, which left a deep impression on people. "With the continuous development of army construction, type 99A tank has become a new generation of 'King of land warfare'." The leaders of the brigade told reporters that in recent years, they have continuously carried out limit efficiency tests on 99A main battle tank under actual combat conditions, successively broke through more than 10 equipment performances, and explored and innovated a variety of training methods and combat methods. They can go to war at the first order. The reporter of PLA Daily personally experienced the key point capture and control combat drill of a synthetic battalion of a synthetic brigade of the 82nd group army—— Follow the assault of a new generation of main battle tanks ■ PLA Daily reporter Liu Jianwei, special correspondent Xiao Shijin, correspondent Wu Yang On the training ground, the 99A tank launched an impact on the "enemy". Photo by Zhang rirong "To be a tank soldier in a heroic army is the glory of my life." In the early morning, the hinterland of Taihang Mountain was particularly quiet. Not far away, a group of soldiers were fully armed and hurried. "Go to war?" Facing the reporter's inquiry, soldier Wu Chenjun said: "we need to go to the parking lot now and get everything ready before the battle is launched." Without enough time to explain, they quickened their pace and ran to the disguised parking lot. "Fight?" With doubts, the reporter followed all the way. The parking lot they say is actually an ordinary hillside. The reporter saw that dozens of tanks were placed in different positions and put on "camouflage clothes". Company commander Zhu Feng explained: "if the tank can not disguise itself well, it is likely to be found and destroyed." Their usual habits reflect their thinking about war. It can be seen that the awareness of being ready to fight at any time has been integrated into the hearts of every officer and soldier of this army. At the moment, the cold wind in the valley is blowing, which is very cool. Not far away, the soldiers were busy. Dismantling camouflage, inspecting equipment and debugging vehicles... After a whole set of actions, most of the training clothes on everyone have been wet by sweat. Looking at their skilled and steady appearance, the reporter realized that this is the daily training that tank soldiers have to experience every day. "Today's tanks are much better. More than 10 years ago, more materials and equipment needed to be prepared and the operation of equipment was more laborious." Yang Wenwen, an armored technician of the company, told reporters that the electric control and hydraulic transmission of previous generations of tanks were not popular. The driver had to use all his strength just to operate the joystick to control the steering. As a veteran of 18 years in the army, Yang Wenwen witnessed the innovation and upgrading of equipment and experienced the difficulty of upgrading equipment in scientific research institutes and factories. As a heroic force along the way from Pingjiang uprising, the officers and soldiers witnessed the transformation of tanks from "strength" to "wisdom" for several times. Poor field conditions, covered with loess and facing the scorching sun are the daily work of tank soldiers, but their pride and self-confidence do not diminish at all. "To be a tank soldier in a heroic army is the glory of my life." Private an Liangliang said. During the conversation, two short beeps of "Dudu" sounded. Company commander Zhu Feng told reporters that it was a signal of departure. I saw more than 10 tanks roaring and ready to go like a waking lion. At that moment, the light was weak, the black smoke was diffuse, and the yellow sand blurred the outline of the chariot. The reporter was deeply impressed by the behemoth in front of him and understood where the pride and glory of the officers and soldiers came from. A synthetic battalion of a synthetic brigade of the 82nd group army organized live fire. Photo by Zhang rirong "It is not only a tiger on the battlefield, but also a member of the system of operations." The dust covered the white belly of the fish in the East. The reporter followed the left-wing echelon of modular formation and quickly maneuvered to the designated area. Through the periscope, there is a heavy shadow in the mountains, and the scenery on both sides moves back quickly under the weak illumination of the front clearance lamp. Sitting in the bumpy car, the roar of the engine poured into both ears, making the reporter feel uncomfortable. The conductor Hui Junhua reminds everyone to turn knob 1 to "listen in the car" to ensure that each passenger does not miss every instruction from his superior. "How to cooperate well and how to deal with it in time is the key to the success of this exercise." Artillery commander Ren bin told reporters that only when the enemy arrives first, finds first, fires first and hits first can we firmly grasp the initiative in the battlefield. "Hold on!" Driver Chen Lihao suddenly slammed the steering wheel to the right, and the body turned at a large angle. Before the reporter reacted, the tank returned to normal and continued to move forward. "What happened?" The reporter looked to the right rear. It was hazy outside the window. Only the follow-up tanks and infantry vehicles flickered with weak light. "It was a large pit just now. If you don't dodge in time, it's easy to rollover." Ren bin explained, "long-distance mobility should not only ensure the marching speed, but also avoid non combat attrition. Especially in this case of poor visibility, we need to improve prevention. The brigade often organizes night training to enable us to identify, detect and predict similar potential threats early under special conditions." "During the maneuver, we should not only deal with the harsh terrain and landform, but also deal with the battlefield carefully arranged by the blue side in time." Sure enough, the reporter took the tank all the way to see that the "sharp knife squad" tank, which had just passed through the trench by relying on engineers to build a bridge, had a "track fracture" not far away; The infantry vehicles advancing together urgently joined the emergency repair, and the "Crouching" tank soon "resurrected" and roared into the distance What is cooperative warfare? What is tacit cooperation? This situation gave reporters a vivid answer. Close to the "enemy" front, the guidance and dispatching instructions from the radio are becoming more and more frequent, and the atmosphere in the car is becoming more and more tense. The reporter quickly got out of the car and looked far from the highland. A tank "war" was about to start. Hundreds of meters ahead, the "enemy" fortifications are dark, and the front defense belt is filled with smoke and flames. On the occasion of tense adhesion, the inclined shell on the back of the distant mountain soared into the air, and the engineers, infantry and other units seized the favorable opportunity to speed up the opening of battlefield access. Under the cover of infantry vehicle gun launched missiles, the two tank commandos cut apart the "enemy"'s solid forward defense like knives and penetrated into depth "Request remote intelligence support!" Back on the bus, the reporter saw that various intelligence information was constantly coming from the brigade command post to provide information support for the battle. During the attack, the commander Hui Junhua also shared the target information found to the friendly neighbor combat unit in real time. At that moment, the reporter felt that tanks had become veritable information nodes. "The real bravery is not a lone and brave single car battle, but a close cooperation between intelligence sharing and complementary advantages." Facing the cooperation just completed, Zhang Guisheng, staff officer of the training section, pointed to a 99A tank and expressed such emotion: "it is not only a tiger on the battlefield, but also a member of the system operation." Observing the fierce battle just now, the reporter sincerely felt that 99A tank, a brand-new "king of land warfare", has become a key node of "same frequency resonance" with other information equipment in system operation. "We must become a sharp sword and rush to the enemy without hesitation" Thick cumulus clouds surged over the mountains, and a fierce game was about to begin. With the fire support of the rear artillery, the tanks of the left and right wing attack groups guided the infantry vehicles to advance in depth to the "enemy". At the same time, the simulated airborne unit carried out a three-dimensional attack and launched a sneak attack behind the "enemy" defense deployment. "The real battlefield will only be more cruel than it is now." In the command post, battalion commander Wu Xiaofei stared at the situation map, pointed to the soldiers and chariots eliminated in the drill and told reporters, "there is no runner up in the battlefield. Even if you pay a heavy price, you can't step back, otherwise you may be killed by one blow." Suppression and counter suppression, attack and counter attack continued to confront for a long time. At this time, the sound of artillery coverage is getting farther and farther, and the neighing of track rolling is becoming more and more blurred. The reporter found that the instructions in the radio station are not reduced at all. Although the encirclement situation has been formed, the blue side has made full use of the terrain advantages and solid fortifications to set up obstacles and ambushes layer by layer, which has effectively slowed down the advance speed of the Red Army. After a long attack, the red side changed its tactics. The interspersed unit composed of more than 10 tanks made use of the high and low blind areas to detour sideways and backward at the maximum limit speed, and quickly stepped forward under the cover of a new round of fire to launch an impact on the other party's position. They turned over the earth ridge, crossed the trench, took advantage of the "enemy" unprepared, broke through the "enemy" weak links, and pierced the "enemy" heart like a sharp sword. With the roar of the earth shaking, shells pointed at the target, and all the "enemy" fire points were destroyed. The dark clouds dispersed, and the voices of repeated discussion and summary were heard in the command post. They were making sufficient preparations for the next battle. "The future war will be more cruel and require a higher level of tank operation, but our figure will never be absent from the battlefield." Wu Xiaofei said, "we must become a sharp sword and rush to the enemy without hesitation." "Digital troops, digital soldiers, heart to the forefront, decisive battle peak..." on the way back to the camp, the officers and soldiers had loud slogans and high morale. On the journey of building a strong army in the new era, this group of young digital tank soldiers cut through thorns and thorns all the way and launched an impact on the Highlands one by one. I am attached to it, it makes me ■ Ding Hui, first sergeant of a synthetic brigade of the 82nd group army I've been dealing with tanks since I joined the army in 1993. Whenever I smell the oil smell from the chariot and hear the roar from the engine, I feel particularly secure. Tanks have long been an integral part of my life. I am attached to it, it makes me. From super driver, super shooter and super captain to super network module maintainer and super information system operator under information conditions... Every step of my growth is inseparable from the upgrading of equipment,
