With the blessing of high technology, today's vehicle-mounted artillery firing is no longer as clumsy and untimely as it was in the past.

As one of the representatives, Yang Qingsong represented the 107th Regiment to participate in the competition of wheeled 105-mm assault guns. Of course, the team is his group, 202 cars, and he is the only recruit in all the competitions.

The 107th Regiment has a large number of officers and non-commissioned officers, and all the conscripts are recruits who have served for more than half a year, and the number is very rare. Normally, on the premise of being able to send non-commissioned officers, they will not send new recruits, after all, non-commissioned officers are more experienced.

But for the 107th regiment, the current situation, if you want to play brilliantly in the big competition, you have to think of some ways. Li Mu's idea couldn't be simpler, if you want to be impressive, you have to raise the assessment standard, but the assessment standard of the big competition is fixed and everyone is treated equally, so what else can you do to achieve this goal?

Find a way to take the initiative to raise the requirements for yourself - sending new recruits to participate in winning the first place and sending veterans to participate in winning the first place have completely different meanings. The former can better prove the training level of the 107th Regiment and the ability of the leading cadres of the 107th Regiment to lead the troops.

Therefore, Li Mucai stuffed a few recruits into the team, and he was the absolute main force.

The main force of the individual martial arts competition is Liu Guisong and A Jia Xiaxia, two recruits, and one of the main roles in the wheeled 105mm assault gun skill competition is Yang Qingsong. It can even be said that Yang Qingsong is the most important role in the competition of this subject.

Because he is a gunner.

The success or failure of the 202 car is the success or failure of the 107 regiment in this subject.

105-mm assault gun firing is divided into two main categories according to the type of shooting, direct and curved fire. As a supporting firepower, the Type 105 assault gun actually carries a more diverse combat mission. It is not only a direct fire support fire that accompanies the infantry in attacking fortifications, but also a curved fire that can perform long-range artillery support.

That is, it can be used as a tank, or as a self-propelled gun.

In fact, it is no longer very appropriate to define it as an assault gun, but the long-standing name continues.

According to the interpretation of the content of the light rapid combat unit in the establishment of the new army unit, the correct name of the Type 09 105-mm assault gun should be the army's light ground mobile fire support combat system, which is a category under the army's light ground modular combat platform.

It can be a 105 mm rifled gun, a larger caliber 155 mm or even a 52 times caliber howitzer, and an army field short-range air defense system equipped with a multi-barreled rapid-fire gun.

The longest transition between roles is not more than 20 minutes.

Therefore, the equipment used between them is inconsistent, which also increases the difficulty of the assessment of the 202 car group to a certain extent. They have to compete within the prescribed rules, and the performance of the equipment is subjectively limited.

Yang Qingsong was very nervous.

You know, he was trained to fight artillery for only three months, and before that, before that, his role was that of a loader. It means that when receiving professional training for gunners, it is also necessary to train drivers and commanders.

According to the outline of ordinary artillery units or armored units, it takes at least half a year to train a qualified artillery commander. Of course, the gunner is the gunner. With the development of technology, the combination of one gun commander with two or three gunners disappeared decades ago, and more intelligent automation formed a situation where the crew of a car could be reduced to three.

Research is being done on the unmanned ground combat vehicle of the future, but this goal will be difficult to achieve in the foreseeable future.

If we calculate according to the regimental artillery units, the entire military region has artillery of brigades and regiments, and this artillery force is more than the entire army equipment of the vast majority of countries. Since the day the Chinese Army's artillery ideology was adopted from the former Soviet Union's thinking on army building, it has been out of control, and it has become more and more popular and smooth.

The 300-mm multiple rocket launcher is used as a military-level support firepower, which is equivalent to a short-range missile on the premise of using extended-range ammunition. Guided rocket artillery that can shoot 300 kilometers will be stunned if it has some military common sense.

If guided munitions are used, then the accuracy will be between 5-10 meters of error. This standard is already an entry-level precision-guided munition. The Tomahawk cruise missile, which the Yankees are proud of for being the dominant in many wars, has an accuracy of almost five meters in the early stage.

But in terms of cost, the two are not of the same order of magnitude at all, that is, the difference between a bicycle and a luxury car.

A 300-mm MLRS battalion fires a salvo of complete ammunition, and the military expenditure is not comparable to that of a Tomahawk cruise missile, not to mention the daily maintenance costs.

Some people say that the US military attaches great importance to the delivery of firepower, but in fact this is not the case, and among the few countries that can count the military in terms of military strength, it is the Chinese military that attaches the most importance to the projection of firepower, not only referring to the army, but also the navy and air force. To this day, the Air Force still retains a large number of H-6 series bombers and continues to improve them. Not to mention the navy, it can be seen from the early destroyer firepower configuration that the emphasis on the sea and light anti-submarine and air defense is also a product of the influence of this thinking.

To be precise, the shortcomings of the Chinese army's firepower projection lie in the means of delivery, not in tactical thinking. The U.S. military prefers precision strikes, because after the end of the Cold War, it has no opponents, and the world's armies may not be able to beat it when tied up. Therefore, it has the conditions and time to play high-end goods, continue to occupy the forefront of technology, and let you follow behind.

If the Soviet Union does not disintegrate, will the US military dare to engage in light brigades? Those crispy skins will not have any survivability at all in the face of the steel torrent of the Soviet Red Army, and a large in-depth impact will be able to return to Paris and reach the English Channel. Of course, you can't compare Iraq with the Soviet army, the military strength of the Soviet army is a complete structure and full of strong muscles, and the Iraqi army at that time was at best in vain, in short, it learned the table of the Soviet army, and did not have the lining of the Soviet army.

The maintenance of large-scale artillery units is not unnecessary, but closely related to the national defense strategy. Geographically, the Yankees occupy the best place in the world, and any country that wants to invade it must cross one of the two oceans. Basically, the Yankees don't have to think about dealing with a ground invasion. That is why for so many years it has spared no effort to develop a national missile defense system to deal with intercontinental strategic missiles from the East that can carry a large number of nuclear warheads.

For so many years, the multiple rocket launchers in service in the US military have been an old face - millimeter 12-barrel rocket launchers, which have been used from 1983 to the present antiques, and they have been changed back and forth, but they have not been replaced. With the discontinuation of the Crusader artillery project, it means that the US Army has completely abandoned the original tactical thinking, and the status of the US Army has also plummeted.

China is completely different, the political environment and geography are very difficult, and the enemy may invade from any direction. The time to enter the ground battle will be very fast, so it is very necessary to maintain a strong firepower and sufficient army. And the Americans can use their world's largest navy to consume the invading enemy in the middle of the ocean.

The highest-end national defense strategic thinking is embodied in the equipment of the most basic troops, so almost every year there are new types of artillery equipment, and it is particularly necessary to maintain the establishment of large artillery.

Divisional and brigade-level infantry units have artillery regiments under their jurisdiction, and groups have at least one artillery brigade under their jurisdiction, and those independent artillery brigades are basically changed from the original artillery divisions.

As for the few armored divisions that still remain, they are the most muscular ones.

The Type 09 wheeled 105 mm mobile artillery system equipped with the 107th Regiment is the most advanced artillery system in the current active service of the army, and in terms of technical degree, it surpasses the PZL-05 tracked double-caliber barreled howitzer that has only been in service for two years.

For a recruit who only has a high degree of Chinese proficiency and has only served for most of the year, the suspense of whether he can shoot every cannon steadily and accurately is very large.

Li Mu couldn't sit still in the camp, so he came to the observation platform early and waited for the competition to start.

In fact, Li Mu is a staunch artilleryist, and he believes that with the blessing of high technology, artillery doctrine can completely dominate the ground battlefield, and even the army has even moved multiple rocket launchers and large-caliber howitzers to landing ships to shoot at sea and ground targets, and this has become a training subject.

This shows the Chinese Army's deep love for artillery.

Li Mu believes that the essence of war, and in the end, is still the struggle between people. Perhaps in the face of increasingly strong fortifications, when using ordinary warheads, the preparation of artillery fire may not cause much damage to the enemy, but the psychological blow to people from that overwhelming artillery fire cover is enormous. In the face of the artillery fire that can engulf everything in the world, anyone can feel their own insignificance.

In this situation, as long as the artillery units have the opportunity to open fire, any enemy target on the ground, whether it is an armored target or a living target, will be reduced to ashes under the prefabricated fragments of artillery shells and rocket artillery that do not cost money.

In the end, the war is still fought by people, or one side loses its fighting spirit completely.

In Li Mu's opinion, he resolutely does not use infantry to solve the battle that can be solved by artillery, if one cannon does not work, then two cannons.

Successful artillery, after allowing the infantry to come into play, is only responsible for planting its own flag on the enemy's territory.

How important the fire support battalion is to the 107th Regiment can be seen from the perspective of Li Mu's importance. His most relied on confidant Li Jiu, even if he wanted to learn artillery skills all over again, he would try his best to let him be the commander of the third battalion and be in charge of the most powerful firepower of the 107th Regiment.

The flare gun was fired into the air, and the artillery firing contest officially began.
