Alarm sounded! In the Gulf of Aden, the Daqing ship fires hard.

On the vast blue sea of the Gulf of Aden in spring

warships plow through the waves, the sea breeze howls

Currently, thousands of miles away from the motherland,

the Navy's 48th Escort Task Force, the Daqing ship,

is suddenly alerted by a battle alarm

and a live-fire exercise of main and secondary guns against sea targets

kicks off against the backdrop of responding to rapid multi-point attacks by pirate boats.

“Multiple groups of ‘pirate boats’ have been detected rapidly approaching the escorted vessels in the waters ahead!”

In the command room, the lookout tightens their focus on the sea

and reports the enemy situation at the first opportunity.

Faced with the sudden enemy report,

the personnel at various positions spring into action

and quickly take their positions as deployed.

The ship quickly adjusts its course and speed

to occupy the attack position.

The main gun position rapidly prepares for sea firing.

After locking onto the target, the main gun turns its barrel

and a series of shells, mixed with fire and smoke, burst forth

with a rumbling sound echoing across the sea and sky,

accurately hitting the target.

The leaders of the Daqing ship introduced during the exercise

that they have integrated the escort mission with live-fire drills

based on real combat experience,

thoroughly testing the ship's rapid response,

maneuvering deployment, and firepower strike capabilities.

Just as the main gun firing concluded,

the “pirate boats” began to disperse and approach the escorted vessels,

attempting to launch multi-directional surprise attacks.

The lookout quickly reports the “battlefield” dynamics.

Faced with multi-directional and multiple batches of

simulated boat attack groups continuously approaching,

the Daqing ship decisively uses its secondary guns for sea firing.

“Fire!”

With a command,

shells pour out

successfully destroying all targets.

The escort operation is not only an expedition to maintain peace

but also a battlefield for honing elite troops.

The task force fully utilizes

the complex realities of the maritime and aerial situation in the navigation area

to achieve an organic combination of offshore escort and open-sea training,

effectively enhancing the ship's capability to carry out escort missions.

With iron shoulders bearing righteousness, wielding weapons to safeguard peace,

let's give them a thumbs up.
