The special forces of the Nanjing Military Region are the "Dragonfly" special brigade.
"China Dragonfly" —— The "Dragonfly" Special Brigade of Nanjing Military Region
1at the end of 992, a special operations force was born somewhere in the southeast of China. This is the "Longfei" special brigade of Nanjing Military Region.
Outstanding achievements in special battlefields
1993 10 month, a mountainous area in Wang Jie, Anhui. Late at night, the mountains are brightly lit. Staff officers in military uniforms are running around, constantly exchanging news and information. This is our army's largest contract tactical training center. An inspection confrontation exercise organized by the Nanjing Military Region is under intense pressure here.
At this time, both the "Red Army" and the "Blue Army" have completed the troop mobilization. The "Red Army" is an A-class division with outstanding achievements in the war years, and its opponent is the first regular "Blue Army" simulation unit of our army.
However, the focus of confrontation is outside the "Red Army" and "Blue Army". A small and well-equipped team became the "center" against the three parties and became the general director of the exercise.
The task was given the night before the start of the exercise. At that time, all the exercise plans had been made, just waiting for the command to start the battle. A military commander in charge of commanding the exercise suddenly proposed that the headquarters and military leaders should watch the airborne anti-airborne confrontation 60 kilometers away through the battlefield TV system of the headquarters.
The team was ordered to complete a special task and set up this system without revealing itself, avoiding the vigilance and surprise of both "red" and "blue". The theoretical transmission distance of the battlefield television system assigned to this detachment is only 60 kilometers. Moreover, the location of the confrontation should be discovered by the squad itself from the scattered exercise sites. Time is only a short night, this is a brave and intelligent game. Without a minute's hesitation, the team set off overnight with equipment.
God also came to fight with them, and the drizzle soaked the valleys and forests. In unfamiliar terrain, officers and men of the detachment stepped on muddy mountain roads and shuttled between mountains. They bypassed the red and blue security line and cooperated with the anti-reconnaissance teams of both sides skillfully, and finally found the scheduled exercise site. They sneaked into the commanding heights with appropriate distance and good concealment, and laid the tentacles of the headquarters in the eyes of the red and blue armies.
At dawn, the 6-channel 5 1 battlefield TV network began to operate officially, and the live broadcast of the whole battlefield was clearly transmitted back to the headquarters through the relay station. The commanders of the "red" and "blue" armies were dumbfounded.
This team comes from the "Longfei" special brigade of the Nanjing Military Region, which has just been established for one year. In this exercise, the officers and men of the "Longfei" special brigade also successfully completed the aerial photography mission of 1 1 on both sides of the "Red" and "Blue", and completed the field photographic reconnaissance and rapid washing of the "Blue Army" defensive positions. They also cooperated with the "Blue Army" to carry out four regiments 12 infiltration operations against the "Red Army".
Special training special forces
At the beginning of the formation of the "Longfei" special brigade, its weapons, equipment and personnel quality were significantly higher than those of the general troops. The brigade's weapons and equipment involve more than 500 kinds of land, sea and air ***2 1. There are more than ten kinds of high-tech equipment, including battlefield TV, unmanned aerial vehicle, radar, umbrella and diving equipment. In each battalion, company, or even a platoon, the soldiers' majors are different.
Jiang, the current battalion commander, worked as a scout for 23 years before joining the brigade. When scouting the company commander, he once set a military record of "6.3 seconds on an 8-meter-long rope". Like Jiang, many officers and men of this brigade carry their backs.
The brilliance created by "one rope, one knife" was selected from the talent scouts.
According to the special environment and operational tasks of Nanjing Military Region, the basic operational tasks entrusted by the superior to the special brigade are: flying thousands of miles to grab strategic points, going deep behind enemy lines to raid key targets, and hearing about the rescue of trapped hostages in the Dragon Pool and Tiger Cave. There is no fixed pattern for each special task, which may be in ice and snow or tropical jungle, early morning at dawn or midnight at dusk, or in a bustling city or isolated Gobi. Extraordinary and specialized training with "high intensity, high difficulty and many risks" is the main way to accomplish these tasks and defeat the enemy. Therefore, in the scorching heat, in the three-foot winter, in the stormy night, in every opportunity to cultivate the will and physique, a special force with steel and iron was specially trained.
1995 in late July, the officers and men of the "Longfei" brigade were armed to the teeth, and each of them carried a pot of fresh water and 3 liang of rice. Go to four uninhabited islands and reefs far from land for a three-day field survival training. On the islands and reefs, they climb rocks, stay in bushes, eat seabirds in the sky and catch snakes and mice underground. Just as the mission was preparing to evacuate, a typhoon struck and they were trapped in huge waves and strong winds.
When there is no fresh water, they drink seawater filtered by rain or sand; When there is no food, they eat seaweed or shells that absorb rocks; When the wind and rain hit, they leaned against the reef wall for six days and six nights. Under the repeated attacks of small flying insects and mosquitoes, they walked out of the dead zone with extraordinary perseverance and physical strength.
In order to undertake special tasks such as reconnaissance, infiltration, harassment and attack with high standards in local wars and various conflicts, under the leadership of Jiang, the brigade has continuously increased its high-tech content in training. In the setting of "enemy" situation, many high-tech obstacles have been added, such as "there may be enemy sensors at the narrow intersection ahead", "there is enemy night vision equipment reconnaissance on the high ground directly ahead" and "the satellite reconnaissance of M country will be notified by the superior". On the way to meet the enemy, on the basis of motorized entry and hiking entry, parachute drop, airplane drop and diving are added; Satellite locator, helmet-mounted night vision device, thermal imager, anesthesia gun, micro-acoustic submachine gun and other advanced equipment have also been introduced into the whole training process.
Exploring again and again, taking risks again and again, the "Dragonfly" brigade has created tactics such as using powered parafoil to hide the attack of hostile enemy planes, carrying divers to clear mines falling on the beach, and carried out the training reform of "helicopter parachuting", realizing the innovation of "tangent flight method of unmanned aerial vehicles", which greatly promoted the improvement of the combat effectiveness of the troops.
Glory of land, sea and air
Traditional scouts are usually confined to land and freshwater rivers and lakes. However, the "Dragonfly" special brigade should be able to carry out amphibious operations on land, sea and air. "Tiger on the land, dragon on the sea, falcon in the air" is their nickname.
/kloc-in the summer of 0/998, the brigade conducted a 10,000-meter sea swimming assessment. After the officers and men went into the water, the wind and waves suddenly increased, and the big waves came and smashed down. Some staff members suggested changing the assessment distance to 8000 meters, considering that swimming in the top waves may cause excessive physical exertion. But captain Jiang said categorically: "With me as the standard, I am the turning point of returning to the tour." Take the lead in fighting the wind and waves in the raging sea. The officers and men followed closely and never flinched. Reaching the original goal, Jiang swam forward again-finally completed the assessment at 12000m, setting a new record for the farthest deep-sea military swimming of the brigade.
Like naval training, airborne training is also greatly influenced by objective factors. When skydiving, there are strict requirements for the flying height, wind speed, clouds and other meteorological conditions of the aircraft. A slight mistake will lead to great disaster.
1998 May19, over a training ground, planes flew by and snow-white umbrellas bloomed in the air. The "Dragonfly" brigade is conducting annual airborne training here.
During the last two sorties, the weather changed suddenly, the height of clouds over the landing area dropped to about 700 meters, the visibility dropped to 600 meters, the plane was looming in the air, and the meteorological conditions reached the critical point of safety training. Several skydiving experts present felt unable to jump after the meeting. However, Jiang, who is well aware of the quality of the troops, insists on exercising the troops. He went to the command post and waved his arm: "The goal of the special forces is to train paratroopers who fight all the time. We can't wait for a fine day before we start fighting. Jump, jump bravely! "
Under Chiang's command. The officers and men broke through the clouds in the misty sky and landed safely. This training achieved a successful breakthrough in skydiving under bad weather conditions.
In the complex environment, in addition to training the extraordinary military skills of the special forces, their psychological quality is becoming more and more mature. 1In a skydiving training in June, 1997, veteran Wang Wei was the first to jump out of the cabin, and four seconds later, new soldier Shi Pengfei followed suit. Suddenly, a strong airflow rushed in, and Shi Pengfei was rushed to the exhaust hole of Wang Wei's parachute at the lower left with his umbrella. Suddenly, the two umbrellas continued together and quickly fell in a free fall. When he died, Wang Wei calmly commanded Shi Pengfei to hold his shoulder, making Shi Pengfei turn around and open the spare umbrella, and both landed safely.
In a recent military exercise of covert attack on the "enemy" airport, the heroism of the "Longfei" special brigade in amphibious operations was fully demonstrated. During the exercise, the unmanned reconnaissance plane of the special brigade first flew over the "enemy" airport for aerial reconnaissance and sent back intelligence information in time and accurately. Subsequently, the officers and men of the combat detachment either use the power wing.
Parachute gliding, or landing from an altitude of 1000 meters, or rapidly descending from an armed helicopter hovering in the air. They are like magic soldiers falling from the sky, quickly controlling the airport, covering the transport plane and sending them to the battlefield where they can attack enemy armored targets.
"Heavy weapons."
At the same time, another group of special forces swam from the sea armed to the teeth. They overcame the storm and tide, quickly boarded the beach and rushed to the front line of the airport. Suddenly, many targets such as the runway and planes of the "enemy" airport were attacked and bombed by lightning, and gunfire and smoke were everywhere. The defense of the "enemy" army collapsed across the board.
The Flying Dragon Brigade of Nanjing Military Region has successfully completed many major exercises and support tasks entrusted by the headquarters and the military region, and is known as the "Flying Dragon of China".
