The Haite team lost contact and decisively activated the second communication plan, which was to send secret words through radio broadcast. Chen Meng and the correspondent had the code book. Yu
But no news.
All the major department heads of the No. 53 ship gathered in the cockpit of the bridge and discussed countermeasures around the combat table covered with maps of Dolan Island and charts of the Alasu Sea.
"Sending people to the island to assist is the only way." Li Hai's thinking was very clear.
Chen Meng's life and death were unknown, and the situation on Dolan Island was unclear. When the ship-borne helicopter was lost, personnel could only be sent to the island to provide relief.
Sailors do not have special operations capabilities, and even individual soldiers and team ground combat capabilities are far inferior to Laobu.
The No. 53 ship is different from other Type 053 frigates because it has been modernized every few years and the equipment it carries is relatively technical, so it requires higher professional skills for the crew.
The overall academic level of the ship's crew is the highest in the 11th Frigate Group. Yu
Because the professional skills are relatively strong and you need to spend more time on professional positions, you naturally have no time to engage in other subjects.
Chang Haizhou and others were hesitant because they knew very well the sailors' land combat qualities. Some comrades were not even able to shoot accurately. Whether they could shoot accurately or not had nothing to do with their own professional skills.
Sending them to the island to assist the Haite team would most likely only increase casualties and not achieve the desired effect.
"Our soldiers, almost, almost never have any land combat training, and many comrades can't fire many rounds in a year." Chang Haizhou shook his head slightly and said matter-of-factly.
Among the several department heads, the Navigation Chief was the oldest. He said with emotion, "Today's soldiers are incomparable to those in the 1980s and 1990s. In the past, our sailors had to go to land several times a year for combat training. The soldier's combat ability cannot be said to be comparable to that of the Marine Corps, but at least it will not be much worse, and he can achieve some results."
Zhang Lei retorted, "That was all a thing of the Year of the Monkey. Besides, times have changed. Nowadays, ships have higher and higher technical and professional requirements for sailors. When time is spent on professional skills, how can there be time to do what is possible in a lifetime?" There is no need for land combat training.”
He is a gunnery chief with a professional background. He is the youngest among the department chiefs. He is only seven years older than Li Hai. He has always disagreed with some of the views of Song Jianming, who has stepped from a sailor to the position of navigation chief. Yu
Li Hai waved his hand to prevent them from continuing to argue, and said, "The era of bayonet fighting and the era of outside visual range combat are completely different. To say the least, when sailors need to pick up automatic rifles to defend themselves against the enemy, it means they are very close to being captured. , I think such opportunities are extremely rare in actual combat, at least they will not happen to our Chinese Navy."
He changed the subject and said, "However, basic individual ground combat capabilities must be possessed. No matter how tight the time is, you must spare enough time for training in this area. Every era will put forward different requirements for soldiers. , let’s not discuss these for now, the most urgent thing is, do you agree to send personnel to the island to assist the Haite team?”
He agreed with both people's views, but neither of them completely agreed. He showed his ability as the number one commander to control his subordinates well, and changed the topic back to the current situation.
Everyone no longer thinks about extraneous matters. The situation at this time has exceeded the prescribed contact time and is approaching the fixed response time. An emergency plan must be come up as soon as possible.
Chang Haizhou gritted his teeth and said, "I agree to send personnel to the island to assist the Haite team. I will lead the team."
"Old Chang, how can you lead the team? Let me come. I am more familiar with island operations than you." Song Jianming said immediately.
They got into a fight. Yu
Lin Mingguang suddenly said, "Let me go, I will drive the Dolphin to find the Haite team."
Everyone immediately looked at Lin Mingguang.
"Dolphins are not..."
"Based on the previous take-off, landing and flight conditions, there will be no threat from hidden faults for the time being. I think it can fly." Lin Mingguang expressed his opinion.
Chang Haizhou refused without even thinking, "Absolutely not. The dolphins must not take off until the hidden faults are eliminated. Lao Lin, your suggestion is against the regulations."
"This is the best way at the moment." Lin Mingguang insisted.
They started arguing again. Yu
Li Hai looked around, made up his mind, and said, "Comrades, I decided to immediately remove soldiers who are proficient in land combat from the entire ship to form an island landing team. I led the team to board a boat to the island to meet the Haite team, and the ship commanded Vice Captain Chang Haizhou is in charge."
He didn't give everyone a chance to speak and said, "This is an order."
Chang Haizhou swallowed back the words that came to his lips. The commander gave the order, even if there were ten thousand opinions in his heart, he had to hold it back.
Everyone has deeply realized that Li Hai is a very decisive commander. Before that, everyone has experienced Li Hai's "overbearing" command method where seagulls have to obey his orders when the guns are fired.
Having said that, "one word and one word" is definitely an essential quality for a commander.
"Mr. Chang, please command and send us as close to the beach as possible." Li Hai said in a deep voice.
Chang Haizhou nodded heavily and said, "Old Song is very familiar with the terrain of this sea area, don't worry. However, Captain..." Yu
"No more, having said that, I have cooperated with the Army Special Forces many times and learned every move from them. No one is more suitable than me." Li Hai interrupted Chang Haizhou.
Chang Haizhou could only give up. He didn't believe that Li Hai had learned special operations. How could a pilot learn these skills? It was obviously Li Hai's excuse.
But what Li Hai said is true. In the northeast and northwest, he and Dang Weimin had supported the Army's special forces in operations for a long time. Especially during the training period in the northwest, they became brothers with the special operations members of the Tiger Brigade. , learning one and a half moves is no joke.
In a word, if you have never seen a pig running around, at least you have eaten pork.
The most important thing is that in that corner of Northeast China, Li Hai once had a record recorded in the history of Army special operations - he drove a Z-20 alone to meet Lieutenant Colonel Xie's team, and when the weapons station ran out of ammunition, he fired A 35 mm caliber grenade launcher was set up on the passenger seat and fired at the ground!
What he did at that time was breathtaking!
It can be said that he has a lot of experience in armed rescue of trapped detachments! Yu
Because of the confidentiality period, these experiences are not reflected in his regular resume. The complete resume exists in another department.
Having shot down foreign planes and bombed enemy camps, Li Hai definitely had some lives in his hands. There are very few people on board No. 53, or even in the entire military, who have similar experiences.
Li Hai took out the roster and quickly ordered ten soldiers. Chang Haizhou watched the whole process and said in surprise, "Have you ever known them?"
The selected soldiers are either young and strong with relatively good individual combat qualities, or they are experienced veterans. Most of the senior veterans have received systematic individual combat training, and some are even soldiers from shore to sea.
Li Hai said, "I have basically learned about the situation of the more than 100 people on the ship."
Chang Haizhou admired him from the bottom of his heart. You must know that Li Hai has only been on the job for a short time, but he has already learned so many relevant professional techniques, and by the end he has such a comprehensive and in-depth understanding of the team.
He suddenly found that he had been slacking off in the past few years, especially when faced with Li Hai, who was so eager for knowledge and energetic. For the first time, he realized that he was getting older. Yu
A young man parachuted down to become a trainee captain, and then commanded the No. 53 ship as the acting captain to perform the Spring Festival combat preparation mission. As Chang Haizhou, who should succeed Liu Haikang as the captain, or at least become the acting captain, he had no idea. Resentment is not normal.
However, the soldier's sense of obedience allowed Chang Haizhou to carry out his superiors' orders to the letter and fully cooperate with Li Hai to complete various tasks even if he was resentful.
And Li Hai is telling him and others with practical actions that he, Li Hai, is sitting in this position not by "going through the back door and building connections", but by the hard work he has acquired.
After regaining his composure, Chang Haizhou said, "Ten people are not enough. Order a few more and divide them into two boats. It will be just right after picking up Chen Meng and the others."
Li Hai thought for a while and nodded, "That makes sense."
What he considered was that the smaller the target, the better, and the more capable the team, the better, but the formation proposed by Chang Haizhou was more secure.
At this time, Chen Yun, who had just completed the change of guard, came over and said, "Report, captain, deputy chief, I request to join the island landing team."
Li Hai looked over in surprise, "You?"
Chen Yun raised her chin and subconsciously raised her sizable chest, "Captain, don't underestimate me."
Li Hai looked at Chang Haizhou without squinting, "She..."
After being stunned for a moment, Chang Haizhou slapped his forehead and said, "I remember, Chen Yun was an athlete on the provincial shooting team before joining the army. She ranked first in the team every year in shooting training."
"First in the detachment?" Li Hai looked at Chen Yun in surprise.
This girl hides everything.
Chen Yun said proudly, "Ang."
"Why did you come to be a sailor? You should go to the special forces." Li Hai said.
Chen Yun said, "It's just an accident. Captain, let me go. Give me an eighty-one bar. I can shoot the effect of a sniper rifle."
Li Hai hesitated, a female soldier was a female soldier after all.
"Let her go." Chang Haizhou said.
"Okay, let's meet at the hangar." Li Hai agreed.
"Thank you, Captain, thank you, Vice President." The girl became excited and went to the hangar in high spirits.
Li Hai gathered his troops and asked people to move the equipment to the hangar. After working with Chang Haizhou, he quickly rushed to the hangar. Yu
Including Li Hai, the island landing team consisted of fifteen people, divided into two assault boats. After picking up Chen Meng and seven other people, the two assault boats were just enough to carry everyone back.
The assault boat is designed to carry a fully armed infantry squad. A standard infantry squad is twelve people.
Since there is no special hoisting equipment, the assault boat is stored in the hangar, and launching needs to be done from the side of the flight deck, relying on manpower...
