Cannon Fire and Nighttime Needlework! Check Out This Cross-Day and Night Realistic Training

The sea breeze howls, and the waves surge.

The Eastern Theater Command Navy's Xi'an, Xiamen, and Changchun ships,

along with several other vessels, formed a fleet

and headed to a certain area in the East China Sea

to conduct a cross-day-and-night realistic maritime training

to test the tactical and technical effectiveness of weaponry and equipment in complex environments.

"Optical detection of the target, track it well!"

Upon arriving at the training area,

the Xi'an ship was the first to detect "enemy" activity.

The command post decisively ordered

all ships to simultaneously adjust their course and speed

to quickly seize advantageous attack positions.

The commander decisively issued orders

to carry out multiple waves of continuous fire strikes on the target.

The main guns roared first,

providing precise fire coverage on the ground targets.

The sea surface trembled violently,

and flames surged in the target area in an instant.

The smoke of gunfire had not yet dissipated,

when aerial attacks followed one after another.

The secondary guns quickly adjusted their aim and opened fire fiercely,

with dense rounds cutting through the air and sea,

shooting down the incoming target aircraft.

As dusk enveloped the sea,

the wind and waves in the area rose sharply,

and visibility was significantly reduced.

Nighttime lateral supply training was then initiated.

The fleet's ships closely coordinated,

precisely controlling speed and distance.

The officers and soldiers used low-light illumination equipment to standardize operations,

quickly completing the cableway setup and pipeline connections.

All links were smoothly connected,

successfully completing the supply mission under complex nighttime sea conditions.

This maritime training

was fully oriented towards real combat,

with the fleet continuously setting up multiple "enemy" scenarios,

integrating various subjects for practical training.

During the training, real-time special situations were continuously pushed,

organizing all-time offensive and defensive confrontations.

Over several days of training,

the fleet simultaneously completed joint search and rescue, ship damage control,

and comprehensive offensive and defensive tasks,

sharpening the officers and soldiers' emergency response

and collaborative combat capabilities

to comprehensively strengthen the troops' ability to win.
