I believe many military fans will feel this way. I haven't mentioned the high altitude reports for a long time, because both sides have been disconnected from contact in recent times, and the situation has been in a state of easing. But with the arrival of this special time in winter, we must also prevent the other party from making some small episodes in the overall better atmosphere, and the other party has always had an unhappy record on this point. The recent report on a firepower regiment in the Xinjiang Military Region also made military fans see that high-altitude firepower equipment is very sufficient, and many large-caliber "printers" can be said to be waiting for the game.
According to social media reports, we have seen reports from a firepower regiment in the Xinjiang Military Region. They explore practical combat capabilities under extreme conditions, which is also a major feature of winter tasks performed in high-altitude areas. As can be seen from the picture, the firepower group has rows of PHL-11A wheeled 122mm box rocket launchers, which are also called "box fire".
From the picture, these 122mm "box fire" use truck chassis, and the weapon load is divided into two sets of 20-assembled modules. The two modules have a total of 40 122mm rockets , and the 4 vehicles appearing in the picture have a total of 160 122mm heavy firepower, and the strike level can be imagined. This is just part of the artillery battalion under the Fire Power Group. They are also equipped with a number of large-caliber heavy firepower, which is not disappointing the name of the "Fire Power Group".
In fact, this kind of firepower group is actually a relatively rare compilation situation in China. Especially after the division was transformed into a brigade, the main combat units were mainly synthetic brigades. Due to the wide and sparsely populated areas, high-altitude areas retain higher personnel density and are more suitable for large-scale battlefield environments. The regiment-level units under the bar have been improved to a synthetic regiment or a firepower regiment, which ensures that the division-level units have sufficient personnel density, and improves the synthesis degree and firepower level of the regiment-level units to the synthesis brigade.
According to military fans' speculation, the division's firepower regiment may be different from the general group and is a division's heavy firepower support unit, similar to the upgraded version of the original division's heavy artillery regiment. In addition to seeing the 122mm box fire this time, it may also be equipped with the 155mm wheeled truck gun (howitzer) battalion and the 17A air defense battalion of Hongqi.
The artillery battalion directly under the military region may also have the enhanced PHL-191 large-caliber long-range rocket launcher and Type 03A rocket launcher. These heavy firepowers can put huge fire strike pressure on the enemy and have a range advantage. For example, the range of 155 truck gun can reach 71 kilometers when using bottom-row extended range bombs, while the maximum range of PHL-191 can reach 75 kilometers, and guided rockets can reach more than 300 kilometers. In the case of difficulty in maneuvering in high altitude areas, these non-personnel contact long-range artillery strikes will become one of the main combat methods, allowing the opponent to turn into powder if he fails to take action.
And in the report, the head of the firepower regiment also said that he would keep a close eye on his opponents. It is self-evident who this opponent is. This is also the reason why the high-altitude firepower group is equipped with a number of heavy firepower. These "printers" form an interception network with heavy firepower, which makes the young man dare not act rashly, otherwise when anger erupts from the muzzle, the other party will never return.
Overall, the high-altitude area has a large range and a wide depth. It has the advantages of flexible and flexible battlefield maneuvering, and the disadvantage of too few people's numbers are difficult to maneuver. Through the division firepower group and formation group, these two units are rare in China. They are specially organized based on the actual situation of high altitudes, the tactical demonstrations in this regard do not stick to the rules, but are very flexible and proactive in accordance with local conditions. The various large-caliber truck guns, red ship guns, and long-range rocket launchers that have been continuously strengthened in recent years are the confidence of the firepower group. At high altitudes within the range of artillery , you will inevitably enjoy peace and tranquility.
