Northwest desert, silk road, pear city. From August 22 to September 4, 18 teams from 7 countries including China, Russia, Belarus, Egypt, Uzbekistan, Venezuela and Vietnam participated in the "international military competition - 2021" Korla competition area in China, focusing on the "suvolov assault" infantry combat vehicle group, the "clear sky" portable air defense missile team and the "safe environment" The nuclear, biological and chemical reconnaissance team launched a fierce competition in three competitions. The Chinese chariot passed the wading field. Luo xingcang photographed Chinese chariots passing through the wading field. Photo by Luo xingcang Gobi sword, peak duel. The Chinese team won the first in 8 individual events and the first in 3 groups, winning all the gold medals in the Korla competition area. So far, the Chinese army has hosted this international event four times. Looking back at the smoke of the field just dispersed, many officers and soldiers have walked out of the laughter of victory and resumed and reflected on this unusual competition experience. Soldiers from many countries compete on the same stage, learn from each other and learn from each other. Officers and soldiers living in them have further broadened their horizons, and their training concepts have been impacted and baptized. They have many in-depth thoughts on the next practical training and even future operations. Only by carefully summarizing the experience behind the competition can we reap more valuable results than gold medals. Looking at the future battlefield from the Korla division, what do we see? Introduce what others explore and integrate into their own thinking—— In actual combat training, we should not follow suit or copy In the same event, the obstacle setting in China is 50% different from that in Russia... During the on-site interview of the "safe environment" nuclear, chemical and biological reconnaissance team, Feng Zhengchao, assistant referee and associate professor of the Army Chemical Defense College, inadvertently said a data, which aroused the interest of the reporter. The "safe environment" nuclear, chemical and biological reconnaissance team competition is a comprehensive competition project combining chemical defense specialty and speed obstacle climbing. It mainly uses two closed tracks of 3.75 km to complete motorized driving, chemical reconnaissance, radiation reconnaissance and decontamination operations under complex terrain conditions, so as to investigate the comprehensive skills of chemical defense troops under actual combat conditions. Feng Zhengchao not only participated in the previous "safe environment" project competitions, but also participated in the design and construction of the competition venue of the project in China. He took the reporter to climb the first obstacle of the project - steep slope. The gradient of the steep slope has reached 25 degrees. When the car goes uphill, it can only see days, and the uphill road of 18 meters can only "drive blindly", which is a great test for the psychological quality and driving skills of the participating team members. Feng Zhengchao introduced that the main consideration of increasing this obstacle at that time was not only plains, but also mountains, hills and other terrain under actual combat conditions. When passing through the personnel fire assault area, the participants need to pass through a short hole about 4 meters long and 0.6 meters in diameter. This obstacle is unique to the Chinese competition area, which mainly examines the physical flexibility and limit obstacle climbing ability of the participants. When building the site, the Chinese side believes that the anti chemical warfare troops may need to drill through a narrow space to perform tasks on the battlefield. Adding this obstacle will help to further improve the actual combat level of the anti chemical warfare troops. Minefield access is set in a straight line in Russian obstacles, and here is a curve; There are no vehicle bunkers on the Russian track. After adding bunkers, it is closer to the reality of the battlefield... After walking around the 3.75km track, the reporter found that some obstacles in the track are derived from Russian obstacles, but different from Russian obstacles, and some are not in Russian obstacles. Why set it like this? "We believe that the operational concept and actual combat standards should be constantly enriched and changing, and we should not aim at the existing 'targets' of foreign forces for training." Feng Zhengchao said that in the field design stage, based on the reality of global operations, we did not copy the existing fields of foreign forces, but comprehensively considered the environment, personnel and equipment of future operations, The setting of obstacles in the field has been updated and improved. The final construction plan has also been recognized by foreign forces. This concept of "upgrading" is also reflected in "clear sky", "suvolov assault" and other venues. Feng Zhengchao told reporters that after the venues for various international military competitions in Russia were built, they were constantly upgraded in combination with the experience and lessons of Russian military operations in recent years. In this regard, Cao Hexian, the referee of "suvolov assault" project, has his own opinions: "The form of war is constantly evolving, and we can't copy our existing experience. Only by introducing what others have explored and integrating into our own thinking, and making the training content consistent with the combat task, the condition setting consistent with the battlefield environment, and the training standards consistent with the combat requirements, can we explore the road of practical military training." Share your current unique skills and surpass yourself—— In actual combat training, we should have a broad pattern and a broad vision During the interview in Korla, the reporter found that after repeated exploration, the Chinese Participating officers and soldiers had some unique training experience in each event. Some greatly shortened the competition time, and some further improved the shooting accuracy... These are the best ways to improve their performance. "Do you dare to share our unique skills with foreign troops?" the reporter asked a slightly "tricky" question. Perhaps this is a dilemma: International Military competitions are the stage of military exchanges and should learn from each other, but the competition results and ranking are related to the military and national honor. Contributing our unique skills means that the opponent's performance will improve rapidly Feng Zhengchao said that he did think about this question, but the officers and soldiers have already answered it with practical actions. After an adaptability training, a leader of the foreign team questioned a result of our team: "it's impossible!" Based on the reaction principle and reaction time between the poison detection tube and the poison, as well as the data of observation, judgment, recording and other links in the poison detection steps, he believes that it is impossible for our team members to complete the discrimination of three kinds of poison randomly set on a 50 meter road in more than 30 seconds. At this time, our staff did not explain too much, but asked the coaches of foreign teams to randomly deploy poisons, arrange on-site videos, and then find our substitutes to detect poisons on the same track. As a result, it still took more than 30 seconds. The spectators from all over the world clapped in surprise. At the moment, they had a bigger question mark in their hearts: How did the Chinese players do it? "The secret lies in the first step of observing poison!" Song Wei, a professional coach of drug detection, said that during training, they will take photos of the state of the poison every certain time after it is deployed, and print them, so that the team members can strengthen their memory and form a conditioned reflex. Therefore, for the poison deployed within the time required by the competition, our team members can determine the approximate type of poison at the first time through poison observation, which greatly shortens the time of identifying the poison Room. After that, they unreservedly shared this method with the team members of all countries. The drug judgment time of the team members of all countries was also increased from more than three minutes to less than one minute. The team members of all countries were glad to improve their results, but also gave a thumbs up to China. "Share the current unique skills and surpass yourself." "safe environment" project referee Tan slong has a deeper thought: "A strong opponent is sometimes the best training mobilization. Although we are champions in three games this year, the achievements of foreign forces have made great progress, forcing us to further innovate and explore. If we lose a strong opponent and are limited by our own victory, we are likely to lose the driving force to move forward." The stadium is like a mirror. Through close contact and exchange with foreign forces and learning from the good experience and practices of foreign military training, it is also helpful for our team members to learn from each other and apply what they have learned. —— Learned data thinking. In the "clear sky" project, the Belarusian team has a habit of recording every ditch and every live shot with a notebook. When observing a training of the Chinese team, the Belarusian team took out a data form in previous years, which clearly records the specific time spent by the Chinese team passing each obstacle. —— Learned fine ideas. "Suvolov assault" Wu Xueping, assistant to the chief referee of the project, told reporters that the Russian team entered the site the fastest. Almost every time they could start training within 3 minutes, which was very efficient. According to the Russian team leader, they paid great attention to refinement, and everyone's division of labor and positioning were very clear. They made careful training preparations before entering the site, which greatly improved the training efficiency per unit time. —— Learned enterprising spirit. "Safe environment" The project requires team members to drive, cross obstacles and detect drugs with gas suits and gas masks throughout the competition. The Uzbek team has just entered the camp and has worn many pairs of protective gloves before carrying out field adaptability training. It turns out that they wear gas suits all day and carry out training indoors in advance. After the adaptability training begins, the Uzbek team is always the first to come and the last A walk, the results can be rapidly improved. Seeing the interactive communication and common improvement of Chinese and foreign players, the leaders of the army said with emotion: "an army willing to learn from others with an open mind will become stronger and stronger..." The competition rules change year by year, higher than the outline and integrated into the outline—— Regard the international arena as a "test ground" for practical military training "What are the changes in the standards of this competition compared with the previous one?" many people like to watch the changes on the time axis. Indeed, as a large-scale international military competition, this competition has new changes and new highlights every year. In the "safe environment" arena, the width of the barrier of the width limiting door is adjusted from the previous vehicle width plus 60cm to the vehicle width plus 20cm, which makes it more difficult to pass; in the radiation reconnaissance operation area, it is stipulated in previous years that it is correct to stick a signboard within 5cm from the radiation source, and it is required that it must be accurately covered this year In the "suvolov assault" stadium, the racing team should use two kinds of firearms to accurately shoot three types of 9 targets within the range of 500 to 1500 meters. Compared with previous years, the target display time is no longer fixed, the shooting angle has been more than doubled, the shooting time is shorter, and the target range distribution has become larger "The obstacle crossing height is set to the peak performance of the chariot, the wading depth is close to the equipment limit, and the target distance is almost the farthest range of the weapon..." Wu Xueping combed the competitions over the years and found that the competition standards change year by year. One of the purposes is to limit military training. In this regard, Feng Zhengchao was very calm: "the revision of field standards and competition rules has entered normalization, which is not news. Compared with the change itself, I pay more attention to how many changed standards and rules can enter the outline and integrate into daily military training." Not only pay attention to the change of standards, but also pay more attention to where the standards change. From Wu Xueping to Feng Zhengchao, they all have such a view: the change of the field can only promote the training level of the participating officers and soldiers; only by incorporating the changed competition standards and rules into the military training outline can we improve the practical training level of more troops and bring about the overall leap of combat effectiveness 。 In 2017, the army hosted the international military competition for the first time in Korla. The subjects of obstacle protection, protective shooting and protective driving appeared on the track of "safe environment" for the first time. Shortly after the competition that year, the head office of the army organized a special seminar to sort out the harvest and thinking of the international military competition. The next year, in the training program of the army's anti chemical warfare corps, new
