Declassify the military years of missile boats
In 1959, China and the Soviet Union signed the "Second Fourth Agreement", and China introduced five types of Soviet ships, including two types of missile boats. This moment marked the beginning of the era of Chinese naval missile boats, which provided strong support for later military training and maritime strategy. These missile boats have witnessed the hard years of a generation of sailors and trained a large number of talents for the use of missile boats, and the following is a true memoir of a missile boat sailor.
One: The journey of the recruit company
Back in the 80s, it was difficult for the Navy to recruit from inland cities. I remember that day, a child resolutely signed up for the army, underwent a medical examination, and stepped into the military career as he wished. The life of the recruits is not easy, military uniforms, blue quilts, green bags, everything looks strange and solemn. As the train slowly started, the separation between the recruits and their families became more and more affectionate and affectionate.
In the new barracks, the recruits quickly entered a tense assembly state. The train station, full of tears and parting, has become the back of the chase, and the arduous journey has just begun. Various trainings and physical fitness assessments followed, and the recruits were pushed into the abyss of the military. The first meal in the army was a bag of bread that was hard to swallow, but the recruits shared it with each other and built an unforgettable camaraderie.
Training is the main theme of the recruits' daily life, standing as straight as steel, looking straight ahead, feet 60 degrees apart, regardless of wind and rain, they have to experience two hours of standing. This kind of training lasted for three whole months. Through rigorous physical training and housekeeping, the recruits began to move towards a more professional training career.
Second, the skills of the cadet company are refined
The days of the cadet company are also full of challenges. In fire training, recruits need to face huge water pressure, learn to plug leaks, and fight fires. These seemingly simple skills are the lifeblood of a soldier in battle. At the same time, anti-chemical warfare training requires recruits to wear anti-chemical clothing within a limited time, and such skill training becomes the basis for preparing for actual combat in the future.
The mechanical aiming of the missile boats and the operation of the 25mm naval guns also put the skills of the recruits to the test. Every action and every step in the army requires excellence. In the process, the sailors gradually grew into real soldiers through repeated failures and setbacks.
Three: combat readiness training of missile boats
After rigorous basic training, the recruits finally had the opportunity to get in touch with the combat readiness training of missile boats. Missile boats are a powerful weapon in the navy, and the process of launching them is not simple at all. Before the missile is launched, a series of preparations must be carried out with precision, and there must be no sloppiness in each step.
Missile boats usually carry out various preparations before going to sea, such as refueling, inspecting equipment, and preparing sufficient ammunition. At sea, the speed and maneuverability of missile boats will be the key to their invincibility. During the training, the missile boat needs to face various complex environments such as wind and waves, extreme weather, etc., which requires the sailors to remain calm under high pressure and operate the ship proficiently.
Four: the hardships of daily life
Life in the military was hard and simple, and the sailors of the missile boats spent most of their time in extremely challenging conditions. The crowding of the small cabins, the high temperature in the scorching summer, and the rampant mosquitoes all constitute the daily life of the sailors of the missile boats. The island's water quality is bitter, and sailors have to use limited fresh water for their basic livelihood, while the seaside environment also limits the island's agricultural development.
However, the sailors learned to get food from the sea, cook delicious meals in rudimentary conditions. The catch at sea became part of their rich and monotonous life. In the face of continuous training, the sailors helped each other and cooperated tacitly to spend unforgettable days together.
Five: The Finale: A tribute to the era of missile boats
Today, the Type 024 missile boats have been eliminated, and the small port has developed into a large military port. The modern Chinese navy is more powerful, with more advanced equipment and technology. However, the years of the missile boat era have undoubtedly forged the tenacity and courage of a generation of sailors.
We miss that era, and we miss the youth of those warriors. The era of missile boats may be long gone, but that period of history will forever be engraved in the history of the development of the Chinese Navy. Pay tribute to the era of missile boats and the sailors who defend the country's maritime frontiers.
Out of the cocoon: the magnificent military journey of the Type 024 missile boat
Uncover the military career of the missile boat
In 1959, with the signing of the Sino-Soviet "Second Fourth Agreement", China introduced five types of Soviet ships, two of which were missile boats. This moment marked the beginning of the era of Chinese naval missile boats, which provided strong support for later military training and maritime strategy. Missile boats, a special branch of the military, have witnessed the arduous years of a generation of sailors and cultivated many elite missile boats. Here is the true memoir of a sailor of a missile boat.
One: The journey of the recruit company
Back in the 80s, the Navy struggled to recruit from inland cities. A young man resolutely signed up for the army, underwent a medical examination for enlistment, and embarked on a military career. Everything in the life of a recruit seems strange and solemn, military uniforms, blue quilts, green bags, everything is a new beginning. The train starts, and the parting of the recruits and their families is affectionate and intimate.
In the new barracks, the recruits quickly entered a tense assembly state. The parting train station has become the back of the chase, and the arduous journey has just begun. Various trainings and physical fitness assessments followed, and the recruits were pushed into the abyss of the military. The first meal in the army was a bag of bread that was hard to swallow, but the recruits shared it with each other and built a deep sense of camaraderie.

2. Improve the skills of the cadet company
The days of the cadet company are also full of challenges. In fire training, recruits need to face huge water pressure, learn to plug leaks, and fight fires. These seemingly simple skills are the lifeblood of a soldier in battle. At the same time, anti-chemical warfare training requires recruits to wear anti-chemical clothing within a limited time, and such skill training becomes the basis for preparing for actual combat in the future.

Today, the Type 024 missile boat has withdrawn from the stage of history, and the small port has developed into a large military port. The modern Chinese navy is more powerful, with more advanced equipment and technology. However, the years of the missile boat era have undoubtedly forged the tenacity and courage of a generation of sailors.
