The disappointment of 111 joint practice

Artillery fired indirectly, and the target was generally ten kilometers away. However, today, because it was a simulated training, the command post was on the hill near the artillery position, and the voice of the company commander's orders to the scouts was clearly transmitted.

"Target, house!" shouted the company commander.

"A detached house? Move it a little to the left and change it to that independent pine, right?" I heard the platoon commander put forward his own suggestion. However, the company commander did not take his advice.

I commanded the three artillery squads to open the frame and fix the gun positions, and I saw the deputy company commander running between the gun positions from time to time, and the command gun squad leaders and sighters determined the latitude and longitude of the gun positions, and then reported to the forward command post, and after about half an hour of preparation, the firing order came from the front.

"All company fire!" the deputy company commander repeated the company commander's order.

"All company shooting!" I repeated to Platoon Commander Xu,

"All company fire!" several artillery squad leaders repeated the platoon commander's order.

"Target, tank group!" After the deputy company commander gave the order, the platoon commander and squad leader continued to repeat.

"Baseline direction, 0-16!" As soon as the order was issued, the gun sighters were seen reorienting their muzzles.

"Ruler, 150!" the sighter continued to follow the command on the sight.

"One shot, one shot, one shot!"

"One round loading!" The order was repeated several times, and when it arrived at Liu Haidong, it became a specific operation order.

"Good!" the loader bent over and made a realistic reloading motion.

"Loaded!" Liu Haidong raised a small flag and reported to me.

"One shot loaded!" I reported to the deputy company commander.

Then there was no movement, it seemed that the command post was waiting for something.

After about a dozen seconds, the command "Release!" was issued from the front. After the word "put!" was recited by the deputy company commander, me, and Liu Haidong, the aiming hand pulled up the artillery lever and completed the firing action.

After the first shell was "fired," the forward command post had to correct the firing elements according to the "impact point," and then conveyed the corrected firing order to the artillery position, and carried out the one-π firing and the second-π firing operation.

"Hee-hee, this joint training is not like an earth-shattering artillery shot, but like a child's game. "I went through this joint training and I was a little disappointed.

"Cut! Not like that. This is not loaded with live ammunition, if it is not simulated training, but live firing, then it is complicated. If you can't hit the target, you are unqualified and fail the target. It should be recorded in the assessment results. ”

Platoon Commander Xu saw that I would treat this serious joint practice as child's play, and hurriedly corrected my rash statement.

"Why don't you come here for a few more live shots?" I thought, this kind of simulation training is too boring!

"Hehe, how many times do you think that an artillery shell is a bullet, just hit it? The cost of a shell is more than 1,000 yuan! If you don't count the cost, the company will be spending all the military money after a few rounds of fighting. Do you want to do anything else?" Platoon Commander Xu laughed at my ignorance.

Oh, I understood at once, military spending, dare to love this shell is a real spending.

In the past, I had the impression that military spending was not just rifles, bayonets, bullets, and grenades?

The battalion held a drill and the company conducted a joint exercise, which indicates that this year's training has basically entered the final stage, and the next step is to clean up, arrange logistics support, and prepare for the New Year.

Training life in the barracks was noticeably loosened. The battalion commander seldom came to the company to inspect and supervise anything, and the work arranged by the company was basically to let the soldiers stay in the room and study the political articles in the newspapers and magazines, and after the study, they would organize discussions, and the results of the discussions would be reported to the company.

In this kind of relaxed day, in addition to practicing in the morning, I spend most of my personal time in the cultural room, and at the beginning, I can also browse the "People's Liberation Army Literature and Art" and the army's literary and artistic publications on the Internet.

Study the current literary and artistic trends, work styles, and fashion trends. However, after browsing for a few days, I wondered: the current military literature seems to have changed its taste.

The works written by military writers no longer reflect the fiery training life of the company, but the short trivial stories of parents, the affectionate love entanglements, and even the bizarre phenomena of society that cannot be beaten by eight poles from the life of the army.

Don't talk about others, let's talk about the great writer Mo Yan, I have always regarded him as a vane of the army's literary creation, but now his works seem to be getting farther and farther away from military themes, except for those popular red sorghum and wine country series, there is no longer a shadow of military life.

The novellas he published in local journals were all about social life, such as "The Master Is More and More Humorous" and "The Commander's Woman" are not written by army writers, but those young writers in the local area squandered their creative talents at will in order to become famous and make money.

If Mo Yan, a master, still maintains the reserved posture of a great writer, the works of those unfamous writers can't bear to read, and there is a novella that will be written about the love story of a soldier violating discipline and a resident girl.

This is a violation of discipline that is not allowed by the troops, so how can it be exaggerated and praised in this work? Could it be that these literary and artistic works deliberately go against the main theme of the army and encourage the soldiers to violate discipline and fall in love?

If that's the case, wouldn't Liu Haidong's behavior make people sympathetic and praised? Since they wanted to write such things, these people quit the barracks and went back to society to write some commercial literary works to support their families.

Why do you have to stay in the army and receive the salary of the army, but you have to do such a thing that distracts the morale of the army? Since I came to the army, Officer Wang, Unit Chief Yu, and Deputy Director Yang have always instilled in me that

Literary creation should carry forward the main theme, be close to the life of the company, and be close to the life of the soldiers, but what an absurd cultural orientation these literary and artistic publications in the army have made!

"Platoon leader, go to the company's expenditure committee!" I was looking at a work, and was pondering, when I suddenly heard someone shouting outside the door, and at first glance, it was a clerk.

I knew that I had to study the matter of recommending candidates for the military academy, so I hurriedly walked out of the cultural room. At this time, I saw that the clerk slowed down, came to me, and said earnestly: "My platoon commander, I want to ask you for one thing......

"Please...... "I've always had a good impression of the clerk, and today, for the first time, I've heard him beg for help.

"Today's branch committee may be a candidate to study the military academy, please ...... Vote for me!" said the clerk, his face flushed a little.
