The roar of the motor in the cabin was deafening.
The air was filled with the smell of a mixture of engine oil and diesel.
The landing bay door in front has not yet been opened, so nothing can be seen.
In the cabin, dim lights illuminated every corner, and everyone's face reflected a nervous sheen under the light.
A company of veterans, including the temporarily transferred veteran platoon, were all in the cabin.
This is a Type 271 II mechanized landing craft with a length of 54.0 meters, a width of 9.2 meters, a draft of 1.7 meters, an unloaded displacement of 400 tons, a normal displacement of 507 tons, a carrying capacity of 100 tons, and an overload capacity of 150 tons.
This kind of ship is not considered advanced. The earliest model can be traced back to the 1970s. Judging from the model, it can be seen that it is an improved model. It can carry a total of 3 medium tanks or 7 heavy-duty trucks, or 300 fully armed soldiers. The main engine is two 6300ZC diesel engines, with a power of 2x600 horsepower, a maximum speed of 13 knots, an endurance of 1,000 nautical miles/10 knots, a self-sustainability of 20 days, and a crew of 36.
Although the Navy has entered the era of dumplings, in the 1996 Taiwan Strait, the large, medium and small landing craft equipped by the Navy included 29 Type 079/079II medium-sized landing craft, 100 Type 271/271II small landing craft, and about 80 Type 067/ Type 068/069 small landing craft.
It can be seen that the 271 landing craft of that year was the main force in the two phases of landing operations.
Of course, any military equipment will inevitably follow the same path as yesterday's Sweetie and today's Mrs. Niu. However, there are still a large number of old model landing ships in the navy. Some are used to transport supplies to the island garrison, and some are used for commuting. Some, like now, provide training support for various military units.
Lian Po is old, but he can eat.
Today, Li Zheng's identity is an ordinary team member participating in Jiaolong sea training.
It's been a month since the "robbing" incident.
During this month, Li Zheng repeatedly changed his identity as an instructor and an ordinary team member. When he participated in the confrontation drill, he was a soldier of the first company; when he participated in the Jiaolonghai drill, he and Hou Jun were ordinary members; but when the reconnaissance company While conducting sniper training with the Jiaolong Commando, he and Hou Jun suddenly transformed and became instructors again.
Li Zheng switches between each role perfectly, and each role is performed to perfection, which is perfect.
Lu Gang had to sigh, it was a pity that such soldiers did not directly join the army here, otherwise they would be a treasure!
As the commander of the first company, Miao Sishan was quite satisfied.
In previous years, they conducted sea training under the guidance of the reconnaissance battalion.
This year is completely different.
The two sides reached an agreement to train together.
In other words, this year's sea training will fully accept Jiaolong's training model and conduct sea training under their guidance.
Today’s subject is very simple, called “Island Survival”.
As the name suggests, there is nothing new, and it is classified under the category of "wilderness survival" subjects like the "jungle survival" that the Army often trains.
But Haite's survival focuses on islands and coastal areas, which is determined by the nature of their mission.
Although like Lu Te, they have to survive in different climate conditions, terrains, altitudes, and temperatures every year, ranging from plateaus in the west to snowfields in the north, jungles in the southwest, and coastal areas in the southeast. Haite's members are also all-weather special operations units.
It's just that there are specialties in the arts. Haite is Haite after all, and the direction of their focus is determined by the attributes of the troops.
Island survival is a compulsory training subject every year. This skill is of great use. In the early years, the South China Sea was not peaceful. The navy's equipment was poor, planes could not fly, the ships were lagging behind, and supplies were difficult. In several battles in the South China Sea, the Marines relied on The most important thing is the strong island survival ability. On deserted islands or even reefs that are less than one square kilometer or even only a few dozen square meters, we can hold on for several days and wait for reinforcements. Finally, we can hold on to those hard-won islands and reefs. This also allows us There is a place to stand in the South China Sea.
Therefore, this kind of training has become a tradition and one of the required subjects for Marines.
Without such strong survivability, understanding of the ocean in which we are located, and inability to conquer it, we are not a qualified Marine, let alone a naval special forces soldier.
"One row! Prepare to land!"
More than twenty minutes later, the landing craft finally approached the shore.
The cabin door opened, and a fishy sea breeze blew in, and the sound of waves crashing on the shore was loud.
"Get off the boat!"
Following an order, a row of soldiers jumped into waist-deep water and trudged toward the deserted island on mud and sand.
There are many deserted islands nearby. The larger ones have fishermen living on them for a short period of time, while the smaller ones have no one at all.
After all, the living conditions on the desert island are not good. It is okay as a temporary supply point and resting place for fishermen. If it were not an island with important military value or shipping value, the fishermen on it would have moved back to the big island long ago and would not stay here for a long time. Life.
When everyone got off the boat, Xiao Jun stood in the cabin and shouted to everyone: "I will pick you up in five days!"
After saying that, the hatch slowly rose, and the landing craft began to reverse toward the deep sea. It quickly turned around, returned to the original path, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"Hey, did you see that Xiao Pai had such a scary smile just now?"
"What? He smiled? Why didn't I notice?"
"It was a laugh."
A row of soldiers waded ashore through the sea, discussing whether there was a smile on Xiao Jun's face just now.
Because veterans all have one experience.
Once a subject is about to be carried out in the special forces training, and the instructor smiles at you, it means that you have to be more careful, and it is estimated that this subject will not be so easy.
"It doesn't matter whether he laughs or not!"
Fatty Wei looked indifferent.
"Isn't it just survival on a desert island?! What a fright! It's just a trivial matter! Isn't it just five days? Do you know that I once recorded the longest time I could survive on a desert island?"
As soon as he heard this, Li Zheng knew that Fatty Wei wanted to bring up old things again and start showing off, so he stood aside with a smile and watched his old comrade start to perform.
"How long?!"
The veteran who was transferred from the company next door couldn't help but ask Fatty Wei.
The new recruits stayed at the Yinghai training ground, and the first platoon filled in the gaps with a few veterans from the second company.
In fact, why did a row of veterans even bother to ask Fatty Wei.
Fatty Wei had told this story to death in the platoon.
This time, it's just bringing up old things again.
This was what Fatty Wei was waiting for, just like the compliments in cross talk.
"how long?!"
His small eyes suddenly doubled in size, and then he raised a finger.
"One month! A full month! Did you know? On a deserted island in Xisha! There was only a small shabby hut left by a fisherman. I survived on my own on that island for a full month, eating seaweed and picking coconuts. Catching fish, shrimps and eating shells, I almost turned into a savage! During this period, we also encountered a big typhoon, the kind with level 12 or above! It almost killed me!"
The veteran of the company next door heard about this for the first time, and was stunned for a moment. He couldn't believe that what he heard was the truth.
"Is it true?!"
"What an exaggeration, one month!"
Li Zheng had to come out to smooth things over: "I testify that it is true. He was discharged from the army and went home to go fishing out of boredom. As a result, he was forgotten on a desert island. In the end, there was a typhoon and everyone else went back, leaving him Forgot on the island for a whole month."
Li Zheng's prestige is high. If he says yes, no one else will doubt it.
Fatty Wei, who was certified, was proud of himself, opened his arms and faced the island, and took an exaggerated breath of air.
"Desolate island, here I come again!"
Qiang Yong next to him couldn't help it anymore and insulted Fatty Wei: "I'm telling you, Fatty, don't be so exaggerated about facing the sea with spring flowers blooming. It sounds like it's your first time to participate in desert island survival. You were like this last year." Are you annoyed by the action of the sub-expression?"
Fatty Wei's performance came to an abrupt end. He was quite disappointed after being doused with cold water. He turned around and said to Qiangyong with an exaggerated expression: "Qiangyong, from now on, you are no longer my brother. I will arrest you tonight." When we get something delicious, you won’t get a share!”
His serious yet playful tone made everyone laugh.
Asking for a monthly ticket!
Fifth update!
Thanks to Brother Hui for being the leader, I also fought hard until the last moment tonight and finally lived up to expectations.
I'm exhausted. I've written more than 10,000 words today. I need to rest.
