The first of the international military competitions is the biathlon of tanks. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The competition simulates the rules of a ski relay race, in which the participating tanks not only have to pass through 20 kilometers of wilderness, but also have to climb over many obstacles.

Pass serpentine turns, shoals, hills and cliffs. In the first stage of the march, the tankers used their main guns to shoot at moving tank targets and low-altitude helicopter targets at a distance of 900-2,200 meters.

Also use machine guns to fire at anti-tank grenade launcher targets. The tank must hit 5 targets within the allotted time, and if the shot misses the target, the tank will be penalized for driving an additional 500 meters. And after each stage of the race, the tank crew has to get out of the tank, reload the shells, refuel themselves, and then start the next stage of the race.

In the second stage, the obstacle course and shooting tasks are similar to those in the first stage, except that the track length is shorter than that of the cycling race.

The third stage of the physical competition is a new event in this competition, and the top three places in the cycling competition will be determined based on the total results of the first three stages of the competition.

The relay race will be contested by the four teams with the best results in the first three stages, which is also the most intense and exciting event in the whole event, and will determine the winner of the team competition.

During the tank biathlon competition, Ling Wuxian and the others were all watching, cheering for the tank team.

The tankers of the Chinese team wore green camouflage uniforms and drove domestically produced Type 96A tanks, appearing with green camouflage bodies and red flags.

During the competition, the Chinese team hit all the targets in the firing of tank targets, helicopter targets, anti-tank grenade launcher targets, etc.

At the viewing scene, the wonderful performances of several shooting events won a lot of applause from the Chinese team.

Like the military dog competition, this is also the first time that the Chinese tank competition has gone abroad and participated in an international competition for the first time.

Not only that, but the results achieved in the Chinese tank competition are extraordinary.

This is the first time that the main battle equipment of the Chinese Army has gone abroad to participate in international competitions. The Chinese delegation overcame the difficulties of competition rules and venue adaptation, and with the joint efforts of all members, won the first place in the physical fitness competition, the first and second places in the physical fitness competition, and the third place in the tank skills team.

At the same time, I also found problems and learned experience in the competition.

This competition has provided an opportunity for China's armored forces to raise their level of training in actual combat.

With the excellent results achieved by the tank team, the other representatives have both a sense of glory and a certain amount of pressure on their shoulders.

It got off to a good start, and the whole delegation as a whole was very happy and happy.

But aside from the results, the excellent results achieved in the tank biathlon have brought a certain amount of pressure to the other teams.

After all, the tank biathlon team has already achieved excellent results, and it would be too bad if his own team did not achieve excellent results.

To put it in layman's terms, it's a shame.

Moreover, this disgrace is not only a disgrace within the army, but also a disgrace in international competitions.

The tank team got off to a good start, and the second competition was the infantry fighting vehicle competition.

China's research on infantry fighting vehicles is slightly behind the research of international military powers, but China's infantry fighting vehicles have not lagged too far behind in the subsequent catch-up.

At least compared with its neighbors, it is not too far behind.

After all, they are in the same vein, and the basic design ideas are similar.

Infantry fighting vehicles are a product of the theory of mechanized warfare in the nuclear age. At that time, the Soviet Army, which had to face the sword of Damocles hanging high above its head - nuclear weapons, believed that in the conditions of nuclear war.

Infantry must be equipped with specialized vehicles to increase survivability and carry out "great depth" operations with tanks, and such specialized vehicles should also provide adequate fire support and cover for infantry.

This need led to the creation of the world's first infantry fighting vehicle, the BMP-1.

After the birth of the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle, NATO on the other side of the Iron Curtain quickly responded, and Germany, France and other countries also began to develop and equip infantry fighting vehicles.

The birth of infantry fighting vehicles coincided with the buzzing period in China, and this special period inevitably affected this new thing, and even with attention and tracking, it was impossible to convert it into a real engineering product.

It just so happened that during this period, Egypt and the Soviet Union gradually moved from "intimacy" to "strangers", and the friendship between Egypt and the Soviet Union gave China the opportunity to learn about the new Soviet weapons, and the BMP-1 became the object of China's attention.

After mapping and imitation, the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle as we are now familiar was born.

On its basis, deformed vehicles such as anti-tank launchers and armored personnel carriers appeared, and after entering the new century, the Type 86A infantry fighting vehicles began to enter the public eye by replacing them with a single turret with a 30-mm machine gun.

The BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicle is a product of the late 60s of the last century, and the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle copied on this basis in our country was mass-produced to equip the troops in the late 80s.

The Cold War was a special period of rapid development of weapons in human history, which means that the same kind of equipment with a difference of 20 years in equipment time will certainly not be able to withstand the baptism of time, and the equipment will be the lingering "pain" of the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle after it is already weak.

Due to the defects of the Type 86 infantry fighting vehicle such as poor protection performance and insufficient firepower performance, after entering the 90s, China began to develop the second generation of infantry fighting vehicles - Type 04 infantry fighting vehicles.

It was the Type 04 infantry fighting vehicle that participated in the international military competition this time.

The ZBD-04 infantry fighting vehicle adopts a tracked chassis developed by China itself, with an engine in front, a turret in the middle, and a crew compartment in the rear, which can carry 7 infantrymen.

The car body is made of aluminum alloy material, which is an all-welded car body, and the whole car is lighter in weight and more streamlined.

The nose armor has a large angle of inclination and has a good bulletproof shape. The shape of the car body is relatively tall, with a large wave protection plate installed at the front and bottom of the front of the car, and two waterjet nozzles on both sides under the tailgate, which has better floating performance.

As the saying goes, no one is perfect, but in fact, no one is perfect, and he will be born on something created by human beings, such as weapons and equipment.

Because the People's Liberation Army (PLA) is facing the heavy task of national reunification, the Type 04 infantry fighting vehicle attaches great importance to landing operations in the process of demonstration, and the special operational requirements make the Type 04 must strictly control the full combat weight and attach importance to water maneuverability.

In this case, it is necessary to make relevant trade-offs in mobility, protection and firepower, and locate the relatively low protection power as the sacrifice object.

The turret of the vehicle has a strong Russian color, and a parallel weapon group is installed in the front center, the main gun is a 100 mm low-pressure rifled gun, the 30 mm cannon on the right side is rigidly connected to the main gun, and a 7.62 mm vehicle-mounted machine gun is mounted side by side on the left side.

On each of the additional armor plates on the sides of the turret were mounted a set of 3 smoke grenade launchers.

The turret is a two-man structure, according to the layout of the turret of the BMP-3 infantry fighting vehicle, with the commander on the right and the gun commander on the left.

The firepower of the Type 04 infantry fighting vehicle is capable of dealing with a wide range of hard and soft targets, including tanks, armored vehicles, permanent fortifications, and living forces.

Although China has sent advanced infantry chariots, compared with other countries, the performance of infantry chariots and various equipment are still more than a generation behind.

After watching this armored car competition, the Chinese delegation has a deep understanding.

In fact, compared with the international military powers, the gap between them is not limited to equipment.

In all respects, apart from the surprise in terms of food, the Chinese delegation will pay special attention to observing foreign troops, whether it is training and living in the barracks or competing with opponents on the same stage.

Everyone will find that compared with the armed forces of neighboring countries that are experienced in modern warfare, there are still gaps in our army's training concepts, training contents, training standards, and training conditions.

On the field, the opponent who impressed the soldiers the most was not the elite selected by the neighboring army, but the car group of the army, navy and air volunteer support association of the neighboring country's army.

A reserve force organization sent teams to compete in 14 events, challenging the elites of the national military. The combat effectiveness of the militia reserve is still like this, and the strength of the regular army is needless to say.

Although he represents a team of military dogs, Ling Wuxie, as a special forces, is the commander of the only blue army unit that simulates the Chinese army.

He had a much deeper experience.

For Ling Wuxie, the international competition has an even more extraordinary significance.

If he had the opportunity, Ling Wuxian was even more eager to have the opportunity to go to foreign armies to study.

After all, knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent is the only way to survive a hundred battles.

Ma Wenbo, the leading officer of the military dog team, was very touched after watching the tank biathlon competition and the infantry chariot competition.

Ma Wenbo said: "The international military competition is of great significance, because it has opened a window for our officers and men to observe foreign troops. ”

"In front of this rare window, we should look beyond the rankings and medals to higher and farther." Ma Wenbo said earnestly.

What a middle-level officer like Ma Wenbo can comprehend means that the insight of our army's upper-level leaders is very deep.

Ling Wuxian said solemnly: "The stones of other mountains can attack jade. ”

Participate in international military competitions, no matter what level other countries come up with.

In short, this is the vision that a big country's military should develop from big to strong, and it is also the primitive accumulation that China's military strength must carry out when it goes out.

Whether they are in the international arena, from the command group of the Central Military Commission to the participating troops, from the generals to the soldiers, everyone follows this concept, pays attention to the opponent with a thirsty eye for knowledge, and learns from experience.

An army that becomes strong must be an army that is good at learning.

Chen Quan watched the tanks and armored vehicles flying dust wantonly on the field, and his heart was also full of pride.

At this time, Chen Quan wished that he was an armored soldier, so that he could represent the country in international military competitions.

Win glory for the country and the people!

On the field, the iron armor was galloping, and the wolf's teeth were everywhere, Chen Quan's heart was already surging, and he couldn't wait for himself to replace other team members and compete with the players from other countries.

At this moment, the Chinese team won the silver medal in the tank biathlon competition.

Armored car competition, won the gold medal.

Chen Quan was a little dissatisfied with the fact that the Chinese team only won the silver medal in tank biathlon, and if it was reasonable, the Chinese team should have won the gold medal.

However, this is on other people's turf, saying that you get a silver medal, you can only get a silver medal.

You can't lift the table and say that we don't compare, your evaluation is unfair.

Thinking of this question, Chen Quan thought about it without thinking, when will our country be able to host such an international military competition.

When the time comes, we can also decide the rules of the game in this way, and we can ensure fairness.

The tank biathlon competition and the armored vehicle comprehensive ability competition took two days.

In these two competitions alone, eight countries participated, and all of them were elite soldiers and powerful armored equipment.

The Chinese team can win the gold medal and silver medal, which is already a very remarkable achievement.

Even the host country of this military competition has achieved only that.

Because of the host country, it is temporarily ranked first, and if we were the host country, we would have been the first place long ago.

Two days later, the strength of the Chinese team has been recognized by all participating countries.

At the same time, what has changed is that the canteen of the Chinese delegation has changed chefs.

The chef in the canteen has been replaced by soldiers from the Chinese delegation, after all, if you want to be in good condition for the competition, you still have to eat well.

It's not that the cooks of the neighboring armies can't eat it, but it really doesn't fit the taste of our soldiers.

After changing the chef, Ling Wuxie, under Chen Quan's vigorous instigation, finally became the default cooking squad leader.

For such a thing, Ling Wuxian really wanted to cry without tears.

Nima, a dignified Blue Army Brigade special forces soldier turned into a military dog trainer.

But this is not over, and it has become a cook in the cafeteria of an international military competition.

This is special, now Ling Wuxian is really a little embarrassed to say that he is a special soldier.

However, there is also a tradition in some units of our army.

That is, if you are not the strongest soldier, you may not be able to enter the cooking class.

Because at some moments, the higher-level leaders come to inspect it, and other combat units don't look at it.

Directly by name, it depends on the combat effectiveness of your cooking class, after all, during the combat period, the cooking class also has to copy kitchen knives to the battlefield.

For example, Li Yunlong's cooking class in Liangjian is faster than the cavalry.

Art comes from life, so things like this are real things that happen in times of war.

Therefore, some leaders are willing to check the combat effectiveness of the cooking class, and thus the unspoken rule that people who are not particularly capable of fighting in the cooking class cannot enter.

Of course, this is not absolute, it can only be said that some special units are like this.

You can't generalize about everything.

However, the combat effectiveness of the cooking class of the Chinese delegation this time is really extraordinary.

At the very least, Ling Wuxie, the squad leader of the cooking squad, is a special soldier.

"Woohoo!" …… Shovel, I'm going to eat chicken legs, give me two whole chicken legs.

Chen Quan stayed in the back kitchen, his eyes staring straight at the chicken leg that Ling Wuxian was chopping.
