A certain brigade of the 82nd Group Army held a military sports meet to benchmark actual combat and improve the physical fitness of officers and soldiers
2025-03-13
At the foot of Yanshan Mountain, with strong physical fitness in real combat, the spring chill is sharp, and a gentle breeze carries the scent of early spring across the earth. Entering the training ground of a certain brigade of the 82nd Group Army, officers and soldiers conducted extensive group competitions around the new year's military physical training content, including 400 meter obstacles, carrying guns through 100 meter obstacles, and 3-kilometer armed off-road... The enthusiasm for training dispelled the chill of early spring. In recent years, the brigade has persisted in targeting actual combat to hone the physical fitness of officers and soldiers, extensively carried out mass training and martial arts competitions, held military sports games in combination with actual combat needs, and effectively combined military sports training with actual combat through competitions, providing solid support for enhancing the combat effectiveness of the troops. The spring sunshine of the competition closely following the actual combat penetrates through the clouds, coating the training ground with a faint golden color. A 20 kilometer training is underway. Guns can be fired at any time, gas masks can be quickly used... "Before each training session, the training staff will carefully inspect the equipment of the officers and soldiers. The 20 kilometer training is not only a test of the physical strength and endurance of officers and soldiers, but also a test of their practical combat awareness. Faced with the "death climb" at the 17th kilometer, Private Li Qi felt exhausted, but he still tried to control his breathing rate: take two steps and inhale, take three steps and exhale. While ensuring speed, he also needs to remain vigilant, respond correctly to imminent situations, and prevent tactical movements from being distorted due to physical exhaustion, which could result in being judged as' killed in action '. Integrating tactical coordination and enemy situation management in complex terrain, forming a three in one combat effectiveness enhancement method of "physical fitness+skills+tactics", this rigorous training standard originates from the needs of the battlefield. In recent years, the brigade has fully integrated practical elements into various military sports assessment and competition systems: in the grenade throwing course, officers and soldiers need to carry guns and fully equip themselves to throw grenades into designated areas within a specified time; In directional off-road courses, special situation handling courses should be interspersed; In the battlefield rescue project, officers and soldiers randomly select injuries for treatment... Everything is designed and evaluated based on actual combat standards, which is the basic principle for military sports training in this brigade. Whether it is a basic physical fitness competition conducted in a simulated battlefield environment or a tactical application competition, every martial arts competition strives to simulate the battlefield environment, allowing officers and soldiers to experience real combat in competition and improve their abilities in close proximity to real combat. Through these practical training courses, officers and soldiers have comprehensively improved their physical fitness, skills, and willpower, enhancing their ability to respond to various emergencies. Following the example of the sunset, the high wall next to the obstacle training ground cast a long shadow. A certain company of the brigade is organizing officers and soldiers for a 400 meter obstacle training. During the training break, everyone sat together and listened to the training backbone introduce the veterans in the company. Third class leader He Wei recently broke the travel record for the 400 meter obstacle; The fifth squad leader Luo Ruixi holds the brigade record for grenade throwing with a distance of 65.25 meters... "In the eyes of some soldiers who have not been enlisted for a long time, the squad leader of their company has become the first role model for their military career. After the rest, Captain He Wei walked onto the training ground and began demonstrating the movements of obstacles. I saw He Wei effortlessly and smoothly overcome each obstacle, with every movement being precise and accurate. The secret to improving grades lies in mastering the rhythm, "He Wei stopped to explain to his comrades. He Wei patiently helped him correct his movements, and Wang Xudong's eyes were full of admiration: "Class leader, you are my role model! I want to learn from you, work hard to improve my abilities, and strive to bring glory to the company!" Honor is the power that inspires people to strive forward, breaking records is not the end of hard work. Faced with praise, He Wei admitted that he still has a long way to go before becoming the "King of War". The 'King of War' not only requires excellent military skills, but also noble character and tenacious will. He Wei always urges himself to constantly strive and move towards becoming the true 'King of War'. Opening the achievement book of the brigade, a group of "military kings" have become outstanding among the vast number of officers and soldiers with excellent military skills, outstanding physical foundation, and tenacious willpower. Their stories inspire everyone to challenge their limits and surpass themselves in training. Despite the usual spring breeze in March, it still carries a hint of coldness. The 3-kilometer armed off-road of the organized company is currently underway, and the company flag is always fluttering in the wind ahead of the team. In this competition, the officers and soldiers ran with equipment on their backs, breathing white mist, but their steps were exceptionally firm. Every breath and every step taken is a test of the results of regular training. Sweat soaked their backs, but no one slowed down their pace. Under the guidance of the Lianqi, they persevered with determination, their thirst for victory and pursuit of honor written on the faces of every officer and soldier. In the end, everyone successfully reached the finish line. Only by sweating more in peacetime can there be less bleeding during wartime. At the military sports meet of the brigade, courses such as 400 meter obstacle, carrying a gun through a 100 meter obstacle, carrying a gun and bending around a pole to run back and forth, and pushing a tire relay attracted a large number of officers and soldiers to actively participate. People generally reflect that these projects require full armament, which gives them the feeling of going to the battlefield. For artillery, selecting artillery shells is a highly valuable martial arts competition. The competition rules for this course are derived from battlefield requirements: in the process of manually loading ammunition, the loader must, on the basis of being fully armed, lift the shell over their shoulder and accurately feed it into the loading port. The series of actions such as recommending and delivering ammunition should be coherent and rapid. On the field of the military sports meet, simulation bullets of the same specifications and weight are neatly placed in designated areas. Lifting a shell weighing over ten kilograms once or twice may still be manageable, but lifting it 30 or 40 times in a row is undoubtedly a significant challenge. This course not only tests the strength and endurance of officers and soldiers, but also their ability to accurately control shells. With a whistle from the referee, the participating officers and soldiers tightly grasped the simulated bullet and pushed it up, as if they were concentrating all their strength in every up and down push. In order to participate in this competition, loader Yan Xingyue underwent more than half a year of intensive training. He is the record holder for the artillery course recommended by the brigade. Before the game, he confidently stated that he wanted to break his own record. At the beginning of the competition, Yan Xingyi's pace of recommendation was noticeably faster than that of the contestants on both sides. Seeing the opponent's movements gradually slowing down due to exhaustion, Yan Xingyi breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the referee's whistle suddenly quieted down the scene. Originally, the simulated bullet touched Yan Xingxi's knee during the falling process, and his upper body had a bending motion. The referee believed that Yan Xingxi used this as a buffer, which affected the coherence of the movements and rendered the result invalid. Walking off the field, before the instructor could come to comfort him, Yan Xingxi firmly said, "This time I am anxious and have exerted too much force. I will fight again next time." In actual combat, the loading speed of shells directly affects the effectiveness of firepower, which not only requires the loader to have good physical fitness, but also excellent coordination to ensure the smooth process of the entire ammunition supply. Despite the maturity of automatic ammunition feeding technology, traditional manual loading skills can still play a crucial role in critical moments. The fusion of competition and battlefield, the collision of blood and strength, and the various competitions full of combat flavor at the military sports meet made the officers and soldiers feel the atmosphere of the battlefield. The brigade creates a strong sense of combat through various military sports skills competitions, allowing officers and soldiers to benchmark against actual combat and improve their physical fitness with higher standards.
