● transformation from plane operation to three-dimensional attack and defense ● leap from "being able to fly" to "being good at fighting" The army's air assault force showed its edge An air assault brigade of the army organized flight training. Photographed by Li Chunguo Reporter kangzizhan and special correspondent zhangshengtao reported that 10 years ago, Liu Zhenhua, as a pilot of the army air force, was rated as the main standard of excellent pilots, which was his excellent personal flying skills; Now, as a pilot of the army air assault force, his training compulsory courses have added Ground Force combat organization, the application of tactical methods and so on. In the past 10 years, behind the upgrading of the "capability baseline" of Liu Zhenhua, a pilot of an air assault brigade of the army, is the leap of the army's low altitude combat power from "flying" to "good at fighting". On the eve of August 1st, 2016, during the inspection of the newly established army organ, President Xi Jinping stressed that the transformation of the army should be accelerated at a new starting point in accordance with the strategic requirements of mobile warfare and three-dimensional attack and defense, and efforts should be made to build a strong, modern and new army. A year later, a military parade to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese people's Liberation Army was solemnly held at Zhu rihe joint training base. The Chinese Army Air Assault Brigade made a new appearance in a combat formation and was reviewed by President Xi Jinping. Air raids, soaring. Since its establishment, the army air assault force has conducted military exercises in all areas, covering mountains, dense forests, deserts and grasslands. The iron wings fly, the eagle formation, the integration of ground forces and air forces in the organizational system, the release of energy in the system, and the appearance of the drill ground is new. In the hinterland of the Central Plains, open spaces work together to create new landscapes. In the staff competition, the pilot won the championship at one stroke; In flight planning, the infantry squad leader acts as a staff officer. Snipers are "practicing in the air", pilots are "learning on the ground", and air courses and ground courses are integrated for group training. The air and ground forces are really combined and hit one place. On the wilderness, the pilot found the "enemy" target and did not choose to attack head-on. Instead, he used the information system to send coordinates in the air and called the ground advance force to support the attack on the "enemy" target. From calling air support from the ground to calling ground support from the air, "call change" witnessed the expansion of the battlefield vision of officers and soldiers. In the northwest desert, an air assault brigade of the army was ordered to implement cross domain mobility, fly all the way, fight all the way, surpass attack operations, leapfrog assault operations, key control operations and a series of new battle methods, showing the sharp edge of the new combat force of the army's Air Assault Following the footsteps of the army's air assault troops, new battle scenes sprang into view: "a tree high" was no longer "riding alone", but a "synthetic Eagle Group" composed of multiple models, which were grouped into modules and performed their respective duties; Close to the front, firepower is no longer the first choice, and the first to swing is the "electronic iron fist"; The commander sits in the "air command post" and plans for coordinated air ground operations... The change of low altitude battlefield highlights the strong battlefield adaptability and combat effectiveness of air assault forces. At the beginning of the 2022 new year, President Xi Jinping signed the order No. 1 of the Central Military Commission in 2022 and issued a mobilization order for the start of training to the whole army, requiring the whole army to vigorously promote systematic training at all levels. As a symbolic force in the transformation of the army from plane operations to three-dimensional attack and defense, the air assault force has shown many new changes in system training. An air assault brigade of the army and a department of the air force worked together to study the subject of Assault Infantry guiding air force warplanes to implement firepower strikes; Cooperate with multiple forces of the joint service support force to explore the peacetime and wartime integrated support mode; Carry out joint training with a unit of the strategic support force to improve the electromagnetic interference and anti-interference capabilities of the force... There are more and more "close partners" in the training of the air assault force system, the "circle of friends" of the new combat forces are growing, and the actual combat capability of the force continues to improve. New forces contain new mechanisms, and new mechanisms give birth to new forces. President Xi stressed the need to strengthen the construction of new combat forces and increase the proportion of new combat effectiveness. During the adjustment and reform, the army air assault force came into being, eliminating the geographical separation between air and ground, blurring the space concept of frontier and depth, and updating the operational concept of air and ground arms. The land war pattern of the Chinese army is being reshaped. From looking down at the battlefield to overlooking the battlefield, and then to three-dimensional perception battlefield, air assault forces have shown great potential for new combat forces, and the army has accelerated into the era of three-dimensional operations. "This is an unprecedented opportunity, but also means an unprecedented challenge." Tanghongyi, the battalion commander of an air assault brigade of the army, led the officers and soldiers to transform from mountain infantry to Air Assault Infantry. Marching on the journey of reform and building a strong army, he dared not slack off for a moment. "Generation by generation, we should do a good job in the 'first stick' of air assault force construction and the 'our stick' of army transformation and development.". Short comment Accelerate transformation and take-off ■ Kang Zizhan Far away when molting. A pair of "flying wings" are inserted on both sides of the new army chest logo, which contains the meaning of the new army "flying". From the land and air force to the air assault force, the transformation and reconstruction of the army's low-altitude forces is behind the storm of the world's new military reform, and the strategic direction of the Chinese Army's accelerated transformation is ahead. President Xi Jinping has repeatedly stressed the need to strive to build a strong modern new army. In today's world, military science and technology are changing with each passing day, and the patterns of war and the mechanism of victory are constantly changing. The take-off process of the army air assault force enlightens us: the combat effectiveness of a force system is not only from the external architecture, but also depends on the effective integration of various forces; It is not difficult for new equipment to form combat effectiveness, but to create a new "sword technique" that adapts to the system. New combat forces should have a new attitude of charging, be brave and enterprising, and run out of the acceleration on the road of transformation. If you have extraordinary achievements, you must treat extraordinary people. President Xi pointed out: "now, the responsibility of building a strong military has historically fallen on our shoulders. To shoulder this burden, we must dare to shoulder it. This is not only the expectation of the party and the people, but also the political character of contemporary revolutionary soldiers." In the new era of reforming and building a strong army, the new army will take off, and will surely write new glory in the journey of building a strong army. (outlook new era)
