Recently, the Southern Theater Command Navy

a certain landing ship detachment

Wuzhishan Ship, Changbaishan Ship

and Kunlunshan Ship formed a naval formation

and headed to a certain sea area in the South China Sea

to conduct multi-subject, high-intensity

realistic combat training

Combat alarms were sounded

The formation urgently departed from the dock

and rapidly maneuvered towards the designated sea area

Upon arriving at the designated sea area

the ships in the formation quickly engaged in training

Main guns fired at targets on the shore

accurately covering beach targets

Secondary guns engaged in air defense

successfully intercepting incoming aerial targets

and completing fire suppression

The formation then deployed smoke screens

and the ships executed tactical evasion

successfully shaking off "enemy" reconnaissance locks

As night fell

the sea and air were pitch black, and the wind and waves increased

the formation transitioned to shipborne helicopters

for night takeoff and landing exercises

Deck landing lights guided the flight path

for precise landings and rapid takeoffs

multiple flights and batches were conducted continuously

effectively enhancing the coordination capability of shipborne helicopters

with the mother ship

This training involved multiple subjects interspersed

successfully completing hovercraft docking and undocking

shipborne helicopter day-and-night takeoffs and landings

and deploying smoke screens among other training subjects

comprehensively testing and enhancing the formation's

capability to carry out mission tasks
