“Level 1 anti-terrorism and anti-piracy deployment!”

The urgent combat alarm suddenly sounded.

After detecting the target,

the Tangshan ship immediately made a rapid large-angle turn,

isolating the escorted merchant ship from the “suspicious small boat.”

The shipborne helicopter took off,

quickly advancing to the target area above.

Fully armed special forces members

rapidly established a blocking defense line,

locking onto the target area.

“Conduct blocking fire!”

The “suspicious small boat” continued to approach the merchant ship.

The commander decisively issued orders,

and a burst of fire erupted from the machine gun,

sending splashes of water up from the sea.

The Tangshan ship and the shipborne helicopter continuously adjusted their positions,

keeping the “suspicious small boat” outside the threat range,

and prepared for further strikes.

Subsequently, the “suspicious small boat” turned to flee.

The task force commander introduced that

while carrying out regular escort missions,

they regard the vast ocean as a broad training ground,

fully utilizing complex maritime areas to organize realistic training,

constantly honing the troops' capabilities to perform diverse tasks.
