空中接力，完成一场与生命的赛跑 ■董满韩宇轩舰载直升机进行飞行部署。丁福坤摄 “王机长，请现在来作战指挥室！”8月21日22时，刚刚结束夜间海上飞行训练的王机长，接到海军南通舰作战指挥室的电话。原来，附近海域的海军千岛湖舰成功救助一名地方受伤船员，急需转运至陆上医院进一步救治。 “夜间长航时飞行、气象条件不佳、目标舰船无指挥引导人员、需要接力转运，你部舰载直升机能否完成转运任务？”在认真研判飞机状态、战场态势及气象环境后，王机长作出笃定答复：“可以执行任务！” 驻舰机组快速响应，机务官兵开始进行机务准备，态势研判、协同准备一气呵成。声浪轰鸣、铁翼飞旋，南通舰舰载直升机升空，向着千岛湖舰方向疾飞而去。按照任务部署，南通舰驻舰机组需将伤员转运至郑州舰，再由郑州舰驻舰机组送至陆上机场，随后交由地方医院救治。 “此次任务难点在于夜间起降、航路多云气象复杂、直升机空间有限、起飞重量大，下面我做任务部署。”南通舰驻舰机组转运伤员的途中，郑州舰驻舰机组的黄机长已经开始细致研判任务形势，和机组官兵逐个拆解任务流程。凌晨1时，南通舰舰载直升机缓缓降落在郑州舰飞行甲板上，早已准备就绪的官兵按计划方案协同转运伤员。 “报告机长，担架体积较大，直升机后舱空间有限，影响转运！”预想中的特情果然出现，黄机长当即决定“拆除部分机载设备，最大限度保证伤员空中安全”。不多时，郑州舰驻舰直升机铁翼飞旋，飞向目标地域。这场跨越海天的生命接力，背后是风浪之上的千锤百炼。以往，驻舰机组执行任务周期长，驻舰飞行训练时间少，能力保持不稳定。现在只要上舰就有指标，只要出海就要训练，高难度课目轮番上阵，技术水平、心理素质、管理能力全面考核。实战是什么样，训练就是什么样，已成为全体官兵的共识。次日，海天之间，引擎的轰鸣再次响起。一架架战鹰撕开云层，飞向新的训练空域……

Summary

Machine summary

On the night of August 21, shipborne helicopter crews from the PLA Navy's Nantong ship and Zhengzhou ship executed a two-leg medevac relay — transferring an injured civilian sailor from the Qiandaohu ship to a shore-based hospital — under nighttime conditions, poor weather, and high takeoff weight, including an improvised equipment removal to fit a stretcher in the Zhengzhou crew's cabin. The article documents a persistent readiness problem the Navy acknowledges directly: ship-based aviation crews historically had long deployment cycles, limited flight hours, and uneven proficiency retention. The closing passage frames the medevac as proof that a new training regime — mandatory quotas from the moment crews board, high-difficulty subjects in rotation, and combined assessment of technical, psychological, and command competence — is closing that gap, though the article provides no metrics to evaluate the claim.
