In the Paracel Islands, the PLA 052D single-handedly forced back three enemy ships. The officers and men on board recounted the thrilling 47 hours.
With one enemy and three enemies, the Changsha ship won a complete victory
As an aircraft carrier "escort with a knife", the Type 052D missile destroyer is facing maritime threats from many directions, and confrontations with foreign ships have become "commonplace". In this case, it depends not only on technology, but also on courage and determination.
In recent years, the situation in China's neighborhood has not been stable, and foreign warships have frequently appeared at the mainland's doorstep, which has put forward higher demands on the PLA.

A few days ago, in a CCTV report, the officers and men of the Changsha recalled the 47 hours of tense confrontation with foreign ships. On the way back, the Changsha suddenly received an urgent order, and then immediately rushed to the Xisha waters.
At that time, three foreign warships approached from different directions in an attempt to intrude into the mainland's 12-nautical-mile territorial sea line, and after discovering the other side's purpose, the Changsha warship immediately shouted at the foreign warship and demanded that it stop its actions, and at the same time took photos of the enemy's warship's behavior to collect evidence.
In the face of the dangerous situation, the officers and men on the ship never took a step back, and the commander issued an order, on the one hand, to strengthen air vigilance, on the other hand, the main and auxiliary guns to hang ammunition, and the torpedoes to make final preparations, and a fierce confrontation was ready to be prepared.

In the end, after 47 hours of tense confrontation, the foreign ship left the Xisha waters, and the Changsha won the final victory. In this contest of one enemy and three enemies, one can imagine how much pressure the officers and men on the ship are facing, and the slightest misfire may threaten their lives.
However, in the face of national interests, the officers and men on the ship put life and death aside, and it was precisely this attitude of the PLA that "did not hesitate to fight" that finally forced the foreign ship back and protected the mainland's rights and interests.
Always ready to fight! National interests cannot be undermined
In fact, this is not the first time that the scene of a thrilling confrontation between PLA ships and foreign ships has been staged, and when we did not know it, the PLA risked its lives to protect national security again and again.
At present, the geopolitical contradictions around China can be mainly attributed to one reason, that is, the mainland's comprehensive national strength is growing day by day, but United States believes that this hinders its global hegemonism.

It is against this background that the United States has continuously enlisted Asia-Pacific countries to stir up trouble in China's neighborhood, while also encouraging its allies to stir up the situation. From the Philippines to the "Taiwan independence" elements on the island, to the Japan are all pawns on United States chessboard. The U.S. military is trying to disrupt China's development by provoking friction between China and neighboring countries. At the same time, take the opportunity to arm yourself in order to gain an all-round advantage and create an opportunity for the final defeat of China.
China hopes to solve the problem by peaceful means, but it does not have to endure all situations, and the PLA will never take a step back on the issue of touching the country's bottom line, not to mention that we have the strength and courage to force back foreign ships and aircraft.
After years of development, China has advanced fighters such as the J-16 and J-20, and ships such as the 0.55 million ton drive and the Type 054A frigate have been continuously launched, even if they are in a head-to-head confrontation with foreign ships.

Just as the saying goes: "Dignity is only above the edge of the sword, and truth is only within the range of artillery," and today's PLA has sufficient strength to defend national sovereignty and territorial integrity.
