As the giant fleet bravely ventures into the deep blue

they are met not only by fierce winds and huge waves

but also by a complex and changing battlefield situation

In a certain sea area of the Western Pacific, the Nanchang ship, as part of the Liaoning aircraft carrier group, is carrying out long-range training missions. At 6 a.m., the combat alarm on the Nanchang ship suddenly sounded. It turned out that two foreign ships had sharply turned at a large angle, attempting to cross the normal navigation path of the Chinese Navy fleet.

Witnessing the provocation from the foreign ships, the atmosphere in the cockpit changed dramatically, and everyone became extremely tense.

In response to our warnings, the foreign ships did not reply but continued to attempt to cross the Chinese Navy fleet. The Nanchang ship had to take tactical maneuvers to timely prevent the foreign ships' crossing intentions.

Navy officer Xu Wenqian said, "At that time, I could hear the commander continuously giving steering orders, and I had to frequently change course to stop them from crossing our formation."

Faced with the provocation, Xu Wenqian followed orders to frequently change course.

Xu Wenqian said, "At that moment, my subconscious was telling me to steer well and to clearly hear the steering orders; the time had come when the country and the people needed me. The interests of the motherland are above all, including life."

In the end, the two foreign ships found no opportunity and turned away.
