椰岛之夜走来中国水兵 ——我护航编队官兵参加塞舌尔独立50周年庆祝阅兵活动侧记 ■杜江帆 谭振振 当地时间6月28日晚,塞舌尔维多利亚港椰风习习、灯火辉煌。塞舌尔独立50周年庆祝阅兵活动在国家体育馆隆重举行。应塞舌尔政府邀请,中国海军第48批护航编队30名官兵组成徒步方队,亮相国际受阅方阵,在异国夜空下展现新时代人民海军的昂扬风采,续写中塞两国两军友好的崭新篇章。 晚上9时,庆祝阅兵活动正式启幕。灯光映照下,中国海军方队官兵身着洁白军礼服,身姿挺拔,整齐列队。 晚11时许,分列式开始,军乐声雄壮有力。作为外军方阵的排头兵,中国海军方队踏着节拍,迈着坚定整齐的步伐昂首行进。方队横看一条线、竖看一条线、斜看一条线,浑然一体。璀璨的灯光映照着洁白的戎装,构成了一道威武庄重的风景。 铿锵的步伐叩击地面,震撼全场。观礼席上掌声雷动,当地民众和华侨华人挥舞中塞两国国旗,一声声真挚的喝彩、一次次热烈的欢呼,饱含着对中国军队的尊重,也承载着两国人民深厚的友谊。 “中国海军纪律严明、专业素养高、气度非凡,令人印象深刻。”“这是我见过最规整、最有气势的方队!”现场观礼的塞舌尔国防军官兵纷纷赞叹。 这场受阅,官兵们深感荣光。“为在国际舞台展示中国军人形象,我们进行了严格训练。”方队领队姜圣乙说,前期,受阅官兵利用护航间隙,在舰艇甲板、通道争分夺秒加练。舰体起伏,队员们细致校准排面;海风袭扰,大家反复定型动作,以最高标准打磨细节,只为走出国门、立起标杆。 阅兵结束后,姜圣乙依旧心潮难平:“今年恰逢中塞建交50周年,我们能够在塞舌尔独立庆典的阅兵场上,代表中国海军留下这抹深蓝印记,意义非凡,倍感光荣。”

Summary

Machine summary

Thirty officers and enlisted personnel from the PLA Navy's 48th Escort Task Force marched as the lead foreign military formation at Seychelles' 50th independence day parade in Victoria on June 28, with contingent lead officer Jiang Shengyi noting the event also marks the 50th anniversary of China-Seychelles diplomatic relations. This is standard naval diplomacy content accompanying a Gulf of Aden escort rotation; its value is as a record of how the PLA Navy uses escort task force port calls to stage visible military-to-military engagement in the Indian Ocean region, not as evidence of a changed posture or new basing arrangement.
