Waves surge and the horn sounds for mobilization

Recently, a certain brigade of the Southern Theater Command Navy

organized a fleet of vessels to head to a certain sea area

to conduct realistic training on subjects such as mine hunting and anti-surface fire

As the fleet just arrived at the task sea area

the combat alarm suddenly sounded

“Suspected underwater target detected!”

All combat positions closely monitored the screens

reporting target information in real-time

The commander assessed the situation

and immediately issued mine hunting deployment

The crane rotated, and the mine disposal device quietly entered the water

The operator continuously adjusted the posture and approached the target

With a muffled sound, the underwater “mine obstacle” was successfully cleared

“Floating mine detected on the starboard side!”

The lookout's voice had barely faded

when the gun positions had already set the parameters

and completed ammunition loading

“Fire!”

The ship's cannon roared, and the shells whistled out

accurately hitting the “floating mine”

During the voyage, the vessels continuously maneuvered

with random interruptions in communication

and special situations such as equipment failures and engine room fires

The officers and soldiers remained calm and coordinated closely

effectively enhancing their emergency response capabilities

During training breaks, the fleet organized on-site reviews

to evaluate training effectiveness against combat standards

directly addressing shortcomings and weaknesses, and formulating corrective measures on-site

In the next steps, this brigade will focus on the key difficulties of anti-mine warfare

continuously deepening specialized training

to forge a maritime vanguard that dares to venture into minefields and can win battles
