Battlefield vision: break through the "fog in the mind"
——A reconnaissance battalion of a synthetic brigade in the Tibet Military Region improves battlefield awareness news observation
PLA Daily reporter Guo Fengkuan Fan Li Correspondent Zhang Ziqin
The moonlight is dark, and the dark clouds seem to be wrapping up the earth.
The hinterland of the plateau, a battlefield reconnaissance team of a synthetic brigade reconnaissance battalion of the Tibet Military Region stepped on the snow and moved forward quietly, entering the "enemy" formation.
"Screen quickly! Discover the 'enemy' anti-reconnaissance target!" Li Junsi, the commander of the squad and the second-level sergeant, immediately commanded everyone to lurk.
Waiting for the opportunity, Li Junsi led everyone to take advantage of the "interval period" of opponent's equipment performance, act quickly and successfully arrive at the best reconnaissance position.
is very fast, and the target information video is presented in real time on the intelligence processing vehicle behind through the data link. Fast, accurate and efficient battlefield reconnaissance provides reliable first-hand information for commanders' decision-making. The scene of
made battalion commander Wang Kun feel deeply moved. Five years ago, this reconnaissance battalion was officially formed. New equipment, new staffing system, and new military composition make them the focus of attention of the entire brigade.
has first-class equipment, so it requires a first-class vision. As they see further and further, the battlefield seems to make everyone less and less understandable.
"The task of the scout is to perceive the battlefield and see through the battlefield. When we are in the battlefield, we must first break through the 'fog in our mind', keep a close eye on the changes in technology, war, and opponents, and discover the true face of the enemy and our situation." Wang Kun said that this is a new path, and it is also a "heart path".
lurking training.
Battalion Commander's chess game
As the reconnaissance battalion commander, you need to make a decision to promote the battlefield
Plateau canyon, covered with ice and snow. Under the vast sky, a confrontation drill between the red and blue sides has entered a critical stage.
The Red Scouts who lurked into the "enemy" and reconnaissance after the information was summarized and approved the "enemy situation" reported by the superiors, they prepared to retreat.
At this moment, a small convoy approached the "enemy" command post. Then, everyone walking out of the command post surrounded a person who had just got off the car and started talking.
"Can it be a 'big fish'?" The scouts of the Red Party immediately sent the video footage back in real time.
"It is very likely to be a senior commander of the 'enemy' side." Wang Kun, the battalion commander of the reconnaissance battalion, sitting in the battalion commander, stared at the video, and kept thinking in his mind -
reported to the superior command post, and after comparing and judging, he issued an order to the firepower unit... After many twists and turns, this "big fish" might run away.
Thinking of this, Wang Kun made a bold decision: directly connect to the telephone of the battalion commander of the artillery battalion, explain the key points in a few words, and inform the target coordinates. Then, report the relevant situation to the superior command post.
In a blink of an eye, artillery fire poured out, covering the target.
Watching this scene, Wang Kun suddenly saw the previous "battle" appearing in front of him.
In that drill, the brigade took charge of the main attack force of the Red Army and formed a reconnaissance battalion that distributed new equipment in a systematic manner, which attracted much attention.
After entering the reconnaissance position, the officers and soldiers released the drone, deployed the reconnaissance vehicle, sent out armed reconnaissance forces, and set up the vehicle-mounted radar... Everything is carried out in an orderly manner as planned.
"Discover the 'enemy' command post!" After a quick gain, Wang Kun immediately ordered and uploaded the target information to the superior command post as soon as possible. Soon, the firepower team carried out a strike on the target area as ordered.
"With new equipment, this battle was easy and beautiful." Wang Kun thought he was sure to win.
Unexpectedly, the first phase of the drill ended, and the director team poured a basin of cold water - "The damage is invalid! The goal has been transferred smoothly."
"The cooked duck actually flew away!" After reviewing the review, the officers and soldiers participated were a little dejected. The artillery battalion commander Xu Liang and Wang Kun looked at each other and smiled bitterly: "You just want to say it to me earlier."
's words made a light flash in Wang Kun's mind.
From discovery to destruction, what tests not only the equipment performance, but also the battlefield consciousness."Say it earlier" is not difficult to implement technically, but do we have the battlefield vision and courage required for "Say it earlier"?
It only takes a few seconds to dial a phone number to the artillery battalion. However, according to daily procedures and habits, it may take many times to report to the brigade agency for a situation, and then report to the commander to make up his mind after analyzing and making decisions, and then issue orders separately.
"The battlefield is complex and changeable. Reconnaissance, control, fighting, evaluation and protection must not only form a chain, but also form a vertical and horizontal network." With his own thoughts and suggestions, Wang Kun found the main leader of the brigade.
With the support of the brigade commander and political commissar, Wang Kun was even more anxious -
"It seems that I can also issue orders to the artillery battalion. When the reconnaissance battalion commander needs to make a decision to promote the battlefield process, it is not easy at all."
He said that, taking this case as an example, a "big fish" was discovered and reported to the brigade command post can obtain a more comprehensive solution, but over time, the possibility of suspected targets being hidden is also increasing. Calling artillery firepower to strike directly may defeat the enemy with one blow, but once you misjudgment and attack, you will alarm the enemy and expose multiple positions on your side. "This is a multiple-choice question for yourself."
"In fact, it's not just me. Every point in the reconnaissance battalion is a move that affects the whole body." In Wang Kun's view, in the increasingly transparent battlefield environment, only by daring to take responsibility and being good at judgment can we give the "optimal solution" of the battlefield situation and win the final victory.
rope down training.
The battle of the squad leader
As the reconnaissance squad leader, he faces the difficult choice of "fighting or not fighting"
The squad leader of the 1st mobile reconnaissance company Li Shaoqi's dream of military camp was due to a movie he watched when he was a child - " Breaking out of Amazon ". In the movie, the Chinese soldiers' fearless style of challenging their limits makes him fascinated.
However, the first exercise after becoming a scout made Li Shaoqi "unpleasant to fight".
After entering the "enemy", Li Shaoqi was ready to take the opportunity to go out in the face of his target. The squad leader who led the team stopped him with his eyes. Ask your superiors, the best time has been lost after the order to "seize the opportunity to annihilate" is issued. At the review and review meeting of
, there was a lot of "gunpowder smell". Two different opinions are put on the table: one believes that front-line scouts sneak into the enemy's back, and focus on reconnaissance of the enemy situation, and report the situation to the superiors to decide, and cannot be greedy for the results of the war or seek to take action rashly; the other believes that scouts could have "taken their hands" so why do they still have to "go around" and miss the opportunity in vain?
discovered a valuable goal. Should the squad leader seize the opportunity as soon as possible? Calling for fire support is not the only way to fight. At critical moments, do front-line scouts dare to take on the important task of "beheading" and "pointing acupoints"? How to break through the "combat dividing line" in the process of making "ability" and "no" decisions? The answers to these question marks of
are still exploring after Li Shaoqi took the position of squad leader -
"Intelligence information is integrated from bottom to top, and after comprehensive analysis and judgment of the accurate results, choose the best way of playing, and be more confident to defeat the enemy with one blow."
"The battlefield is changeable. Once the opportunity is missed, it is likely to produce the ' butterfly effect ', quietly changing the situation of the enemy and us, and let the already transparent battlefield be shrouded in fog again."
's reconnaissance battalion's thinking is also the debate on victory that the brigade party committee has discussed for a long time. In order to make the officers and soldiers devote themselves to the battle and study without fear of their own hands, the Party Committee of the brigade specially issued a training " fault tolerance mechanism " to encourage everyone to innovate and boldly discuss fighting and tactics.
The wartime tricks are derived from the accumulation of daily life. The reconnaissance battalion actively cooperated with various firepower teams to train, and the link "discovery is destroyed" is smoother; it carried out fusion training with the communication unit, and used information systems to promote multi-level real-time sharing of intelligence; it carried out tactical running-in with the land aviation forces, so that the reconnaissance team could leap wings.
"Everyone's argument is not to find the only answer, but to force thinking to transform in ' brainstorm '." Repeated practical questions have made Li Shaoqi's thinking mature a lot.
"Discover important goals, I will directly apply for orders from the brigade command post.The time is right, and I dare to strike directly at the enemy's heart. "Li Shaoqi said that thinking gave him an extra choice to win.
Not long ago, during a confrontation drill organized by the brigade, Li Shaoqi, who was performing a reconnaissance mission, used reconnaissance equipment to compare and found that the "enemy" moved frequently in an inconspicuous castle.
With the help of the dark night, Li Shaoqi led the armed reconnaissance team to approach quietly, confirmed that the "enemy" command post had been transferred here, and attacked decisively. The "decapitation" operation was successful and the battle process was greatly shortened.
Night training.
The fantasy of the soldiers
As a scout, I want to connect directly with the brigade commander to share information
Reconnaissance Battalion Intelligence Processing Team corporal Zhou Peibo, who was previously an infantryman.
After joining the reconnaissance battalion, Zhou Peibo's biggest feeling was: the scouts are really "broad" - the types and quantity of the reconnaissance battalion rank among the top in the brigade. "Equipment and equipment are divided into individuals, and there are more than 3 items per person, and many are not the same! "
has many advanced equipment scouts. How should we win battles on the battlefield?
A drill. Faced with the new situation on the battlefield, Zhou Peibo boldly proposed: Can we report directly to the brigade commander? With such advanced equipment, can the brigade commander directly command individual combat?
Zhou Peibo's idea was immediately questioned by everyone: The front-line intelligence was directly transmitted to the brigade leaders. How do they screen and how to save the truth? This is not to simplify the procedures, but to increase the unnecessary workload of the commander.
However, the story is sometimes coincidental. In a short time, the intelligence of the "enemy" side's support force was not cleared for a long time. When the truth was revealed and confirmed, the battle was about to begin...
Time was urgent, and Zhou Peibo suggested reporting it to the brigade commander directly, but it was not adopted. By the time the information business and the staff of the agency arrived at the command seat of the brigade commander step by step, the opponent had already taken the lead. When the review of
, this example made the brigade leaders feel deeply moved: "If we do not change our thinking mode to adapt to the information battlefield, even the most advanced weapons and equipment will be decorations. Some things were in front of us. "
Brigade Commander Zhao Xianfu remembered the scene when he was instructed - the powerful performance of the new equipment of
was shown. A certain type of reconnaissance drone has a long observation distance and a long battery life, and can reach the deep hinterland of the enemy. With the proud introduction of the commentator, the operator's quick operation, groups of battlefield data from far away from the mountains were quickly presented on the display screen.
brand new equipment, a brand new world, made the visiting soldiers unable to move away, and discussed in a lingering manner, imagining how to use these "new partners" to win battles together.
"The soldiers' imagination of winning battles is a valuable asset for training and preparation for wars, and a vivid practice of planning and researching wars. "Zhao Xianfu said that these ideas are like seeds of grass, but once the roots pierce the seed coat and take root on the Hanser Plateau, there will be infinite possibilities in the future.

with a brand new self, dealing with a brand new change
■People's Liberation Army Daily reporter Guo Fengkuan Ma Jialong
Information battlefield puts higher requirements for scouts. As a military that perceives the battlefield and sees the battlefield, when the traditional "telescope" in the hands of scouts is not enough to deal with changes in the battlefield, how should they transform?
break through the "fog in the mind" and keep a close eye on changes in technology, war, and opponents, so that they can discover the true face of the enemy and us situation and find a foothold in the complex future battlefield.
first needs to break through the "old me" Fog. To cultivate new types of scouts, we cannot talk about informatization. Back to daily training, we only focus on the "old skills" of physical fitness and shooting. We must strive to make new equipment and new technologies the growth points of the combat effectiveness of the troops. Based on new capabilities requirements, we must have new tactics and tactics. We cannot hold a "good card" with one hand, but "play cards" completely according to the previous routine.
Secondly, we must break through the fog of "habits". The information battlefield is both a "war of the network" and a "war of nodes".Scouts often go deep behind enemy lines and are dynamically dispersed. As combat units, how can we understand the overall situation and clarify the situation of the battle? Modern warfare requires that scouts cannot become executors of machinery. Only by understanding and mastering the strategic and tactical expectations pre-war, knowing how to adapt, being able to command, and making targeted adjustments based on actual changes in the battlefield can we achieve victory.
transformation means that every commander and fighter must tighten the string of "learning". In the past, through hard training, muscle memory was formed, and a lot of hard skills could be achieved, and the task could be completed. However, in the information battlefield, if we do not understand the basic parameters, advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and us, we will inevitably be unable to win the battle. The installation of high-tech equipment seems to provide many conveniences for scouts to perform tasks, but in fact, the content that needs to be learned and mastered is more complex than before and cannot be slackened.
information battlefield, any weak link may become a fatal loophole. Everyone has the responsibility to prepare for tomorrow's war and must be integrated into it. Only by marking tomorrow's demand and promoting today's transformation can we develop the confidence to win with one move.
