The rumbling sound of the motor in the cabin was deafening.
The air is filled with the smell of a mixture of engine oil and diesel.
The landing cabin door in front has not been opened yet, so nothing can be seen.
In the cabin, dim lights illuminated every corner, and everyone's face reflected a nervous sheen under the light.
The veterans of the company, including the veteran platoon that was temporarily transferred, were all in the cabin.
This is a Type 2712 mechanized landing craft with a length of 54.0 meters, a width of 9.2 meters, a draft of 1.7 meters, a no-load 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 1000 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, the navy still retains a large number of old model landing ships. 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 people" 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 team 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 he performs his duties in each role, which is perfect.
Lu Gang couldn't help but sigh, it's a pity that such soldiers didn't join the army directly 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.
But this year is completely different.
The two parties reached an agreement to train together.
In other words, this year's sea training has completely accepted Jiaolong's training model and conducted 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 every year, like Lu Te, they have to survive in different climate conditions, terrains, altitudes, and temperatures, 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 an all-weather special operations unit.
It's just that there are specializations 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
What is more important is the powerful ability to survive on islands. 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, and finally we can hold on to those hard-won islands and reefs. This also allows us
It has 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 live, and the 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 the waist-deep water and trudged toward the deserted island, stepping on the mud and sand.
There are many desert islands in the vicinity. 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 water, discussing whether there was a smile on Xiao Jun's face just now.
Because veterans all have the same experience.
Once the instructor smiles at you when you are about to conduct a subject in the special forces training, it means that you have to be more careful, as this subject is probably not that 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 shame! 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 was going 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.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "How long will it take?!"
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 didn't a row of veterans even bother to ask Fatty Wei?
Fatty Wei has 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 for a full month on that island, 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 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 returned home, and went 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
I forgot about it 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 delicious food, you won’t have 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.
