The sea breeze howls, and the ship's guns roar. Recently, several vessels from a mine-sweeping fleet of the Southern Theater Command Navy formed a task force and headed to a certain sea area to conduct realistic anti-mine exercises. During this period, the task force focused on multiple practical subjects, continuously creating complex battlefield environments to compel officers and soldiers to enhance their anti-mine operational capabilities in critical situations.

“The 'enemy' armed fishing boats have deployed mines in our advancing sea area. The higher command has ordered our task force to quickly move out and clear the mine obstacles!” The battle alarm sounded, and the officers and soldiers quickly rushed to their respective battle positions.

“Deploy the mine-clearing devices!” The officers and soldiers prepared the mine-clearing equipment, completed the necessary operations, and successfully deployed it into the sea. After being dropped in the designated area, accompanied by a loud explosion, the bottom mines hidden on the seabed were successfully detonated...

“Floating mine detected!” Each ship quickly adjusted its course, occupied attack positions, enhanced sea observation and lookout, determined target locations, and adjusted the main gun angles... The main gun position was the first to lock onto the target, aimed, and fired; the shell whistled through the air, successfully clearing the “floating mine.”

During the 5-day high-intensity training, the task force continuously explored combat tactics and training methods, randomly integrating subjects such as air defense, countering biological and chemical weapons, ship damage control, and combat casualty care, effectively enhancing the practical capabilities of the participating officers and soldiers.
