Battle began during the voyage.
At the beginning of the training, they went to sea, and the oceans were full of elite soldiers. In early January, when the sea breeze whistled in a certain area of the South China Sea, a certain landing ship detachment of the Navy formed a ship formation, rode the wind and waves, sailed continuously, and launched the first actual combat exercise of the new year.
"Discover the 'enemy' target!" After the battle siren sounded, the battle trumpeters in the combat command room were tense and busy, and the target parameters on the electronic chart and radar screens flashed. After the target entered the range of the main gun, the commander decisively issued the order to shoot. In an instant, the cannon rumbled, and a column of water several meters high rose from the sea.
The smoke from the sea had not yet dissipated, and the alert radar site reported urgently that the air target was approaching. "All ships are ready to fight against the air!" At the sound of an order, the formation unfolded in an anti-aircraft formation. Soon, the radar locked on to the target, and the shells dragged the tail flame and fired...
Going to sea is going out on a journey, always ready for battle. Not long after, the battle sirens sounded again in the calm cabin. It turned out that after the first wave of live-fire fire against the air, the formation command post arranged for a standby target plane to take off on the spot to test the troops' ability to respond quickly.
During the current voyage to sea, the officers and men participating in the training successively focused on such subjects as live firing of the main and auxiliary guns, the entry and exit of hovercraft into and out of the dock, and the supply of navigation, and tempered their actual combat skills.
