[Article by staff correspondent Liu Wenzhong [0491 2429 1813] and staff reporter Li
Sherming [2621 1957 2494]: "Urumqi Units Organize Air-Ground Combat Exercise"]
[Text] Editor's note: We once reported on a combined arms
training exerciae organized by some unita in which all arms of
the ground forces took part and which solved problems of
"vehicles, horaes, and cannon" on ground that had not been
encountered before that time. Thia time we introduce to
everybody an exercise in which the Urumqi Units lumped the air
force and thP army together and began to change the state of
_ affairs in which the ground and air forcea did not encounter
each other. This was a further advance in combined arms
training.
Training ultimately must pass the test of actual combat.
To test oneself in the future by bloody means on the
battlefield is not as good as to test oneself beforehand now
by bloody means; to "give the game away" to the enemy in the
future when one is fighting him is not as good as to "give
- the game away" to oneself now. Combined air-ground training
ia a good opportunity for "heaven" and "earth" to test each
other. If probleme are diecovered during peacetime training
and solved, then if war comes we can reduce our lossea.
The surface involved in comb ined air-ground training is
wide, the departmente involved in it are many, and the organ-
ization work tor it is comparatively complex. The f irat
meeting between air and ground forces ia truly not easy.
The key to good combined training lies in the command organ-
ization'a "control of heaven" and "control of earth" and in
the leading cadrea being enthusiastic and thinking in long-
range terms. In this way, we can frequently find oppo~tun-
ities for combined training and can obtain ideal results.
One morning in the last third of August, on a certain traintng grou:d in the out-
skirts of Urumqi, an air-ground combat exercise was being carried out. First, ~our .

- .~i~;hter planes screamed overt~ead, bombing and strafing in waves targets on the
- ground; the ground ~orces, making use of undulating hills and defensive works,
rapidly dispersed a;1d took cover; then two transport planes released 600 parachute
targets at which all sorts of weapons on the ground opened fierce fire; soon after-
ward, six helicopters landed on the exercise ground, and several hundred hypotheti-
cal enemy soldiers, dressed in white clothing and headgear, rushed out from the
helicopter cabins and seized a nearby hill. Soldiers of the rapid anti-airborne
detachment, coming from six routes, quickly surrounded the hill.... This was a
~emonstration of air-ground combat put on by the Urumqi Units.
Since mid-year, the Urumqi Units have carried out two of these air-ground combined
tYaining exercises. The air force has dispatched several hundred aircraft that
dropped over 2,400 parachute targets. Several tens of thousands of army officers
ar.~: men, militia, and army dependents took part in the exercises, which consisted
oi air-raid defense, shooting down aircraft, and attacking parschutist~ and surround-
ing and annihilating enemy soldiers landed by aircraft. Several tens of army and
air torce commanders at regimental level and above took part in the organizational
~
command of the combat exercises.
T'i~~, air-ground combined training has broadened the horizons of the officers and men.
~T~~~ cadres and fighters said happily: This kind of training together, which allows
us to see, rind, and learn the skills of modern warfare, is a good method. After
= u;:ciergoing the training, they summarized its four advanta~es.

~ig;~t~ing a mod`rn war. The past exercises in air-raid defense and anti-airborne
~~~erc~tions had only consisted of blowing whistles and ringing sirens. There was
r.~ uasis in tne trainees' minds for knowing what, in the final analysis, an air
