After the malfunction of the "Thousand Mile Eye"... - An Experience of a Brigade of the 74th Group Army Focusing on Shortcomings to Improve Battlefield Winning Ability. Ren Gang, Yang Zhiwu, and Liu Jie "Discovered an 'Enemy' Aircraft!" Recently, a comprehensive air defense exercise of a brigade of the 74th Group Army began. Upon receiving a notification of "enemy situation", the officers and soldiers of the brigade's air defense unit quickly responded and immediately began operations. The sudden special situation of "radar being interfered by strong electromagnetic interference from the enemy" prevented the command team from capturing aerial target information, and the gunners were delayed in receiving firing instructions. As the target was about to fly out of the shooting range, the hearts of the participating officers and soldiers rose to their throats. At a critical moment, the officers and soldiers of the brigade adopted manual targeting to resist the incoming "enemy" aircraft. With a loud bang, the "enemy" aircraft flew into the air and "blossomed". In this exercise, participating officers and soldiers were able to quickly and effectively respond to unexpected situations, which originated from a previous exercise experience. The leader of the brigade introduced that previously, the unit was equipped with a new radar system. Compared to the manual aiming method with high difficulty and low hit rate in group training, the officers and soldiers of the air defense unit relied on the new radar system for shooting training, and the shells were like "thousand mile eyes", significantly improving shooting accuracy. Having tasted the sweetness, the air defense unit will pay more attention to strengthening the operation training of the command team on the new radar system in subsequent training, while the artillery team will focus more on relying on the shooting training of the new radar system, and manual aiming methods will be practiced less and less. But not long after, the officers and soldiers suffered from "biased training". During a drill, the air defense unit continued to rely on the new radar system for operations. Just as officers and soldiers were systematically completing various preparations and preparing to carry out firepower strikes, the radar suddenly encountered strong electromagnetic interference from the "enemy", and the previously captured "enemy" aircraft target instantly disappeared from the radar display screen. Officers and soldiers quickly adopted various methods for emergency response, but the new radar system remained in a malfunctioning state. Helplessly, some officers and soldiers proposed using manual aiming. However, due to the significant reduction in early training, the coordination between officers and soldiers during manual aiming was not smooth, and they eventually watched the "enemy" aircraft slip away from under their noses. With new equipment, don't forget old methods. Only by being more prepared in peacetime can we have a better chance of winning in wartime. "At the review seminar, the leader of the brigade led officers and soldiers to deeply analyze the reasons for the failure of the drill, and seriously criticized the phenomenon of excessive reliance on new equipment for training, deviation from basic course training, and missed training. They immediately took this opportunity to focus on the theme of "preparing with multiple hands and strengthening the skills of taking care of the family", deeply rectifying the phenomenon of biased and missed training in daily training, guiding officers and soldiers to strengthen their awareness of war, focus on filling their shortcomings, closely monitor actual combat needs, explore effective tactics of "multiple solutions to one problem", and comprehensively improve the actual combat ability of the army. At the same time, they vigorously carry out mass military training activities, encouraging officers and soldiers to practice both new equipment operation and basic skills, learn high-tech knowledge and consolidate basic theories, practice both general special situation handling and complex special situation response, and truly practice the "housekeeping skills" solidly and excellently. As the brigade continuously improves its training mode based on practical combat needs, officers and soldiers continue to experience a wave of training and preparation. In recent drills organized, in the face of unexpected risks and special circumstances, participating officers and soldiers have resorted to various methods to suppress their tactics
