Hundreds of Chinese paratroopers were carrying out the firing and blasting training in the field training ground on the morning of July 25.

Taking a combination of three positions: prone, kneeling and standing, the firing training aims to test command sergeants' various combat capabilities.

Live-fire training simulates blasting enemy's obstacles in the combat conditions, so as to improve the combat skills of command sergeants, and to temper their psychological quality as well.
