Summary

Machine summary

The Chinese Navy's 49th Escort Task Force, operating in the Gulf of Aden aboard the destroyer Kunming, marked National Day on station after relieving the 48th task force and safely escorting more than 40 vessels since taking over. During the holiday period the task force ran a combined counterterrorism, counter-piracy, and forcible-rescue drill aboard Kunming, including live main-gun interdiction fire and a special operations detachment boarding exercise in simulated ship compartments. The article is a standard political-work and operational-readiness piece; its narrow value is as a baseline record of the 49th task force's current composition, training focus, and the specific tactical distinction the commander draws between direct-hit and interdiction fire in rescue scenarios.

中国海军第49批护航编队官兵国庆期间坚守战位—— 远海砺精兵忠诚卫和平当神州大地洋溢着欢度国庆的喜庆气氛时，亚丁湾某海域，正在执行护航任务的中国海军第49批护航编队劈波斩浪，在远海大洋犁开一道道和平航迹。 “身在战位，勇于担当。”编队指挥员的话掷地有声。不久前，第49批护航编队正式接替上一批编队执行护航任务，目前已安全护送40余艘船舶通过亚丁湾海域。为确保船舶航行安全，保证战备状态不空档、护航任务不断线，编队全员坚守岗位，始终以枕戈待旦的备战姿态，诠释中国军队的大国担当。国庆节来临之际，编队举行了庄严的升国旗仪式。海风轻拂，五星红旗冉冉升起，这是护航官兵对祖国最真挚的告白。随舰出征的年轻官兵心潮澎湃，他们中很多人是第一次执行远海护航任务。00后特战队员付创创说：“我们奔赴远海大洋守护国际航道安全，是践行中国军队维护世界和平的庄严承诺。” 为确保圆满完成护航任务，编队紧盯当前海域安全形势特点和可能面临的风险挑战，开展了伴随护航、航行补给等针对性科目训练。近日，编队重点围绕反恐反海盗和武力营救被劫持商船开展训练，锤炼过硬本领。 “有‘不明小艇’向商船高速接近！”航行途中，编队昆明舰突遇特情，雷达兵立即将相关情况上报至编队指挥席。“一级反恐反海盗部署！”急促的战斗警报声骤然响起，昆明舰立即调整航向，朝“事发”海域高速机动。 “雷达战位加强对海目标搜索”“舱面火力组做好对海射击准备”……昆明舰抵近“事发”海域后，特战队员使用重机枪对“不明小艇”实施警告射击。随后，编队指挥员调整训练节奏，转入“武力营救被劫持商船”环节。 “主炮做好警告拦阻射击准备。”判明情况后，编队指挥员果断下达指令。昆明舰全舰官兵迅速进入战斗状态，数枚炮弹呼啸出膛，直扑海面。编队指挥员告诉笔者，以往主炮射击，要求直接命中目标。而武力营救行动中的主炮射击为拦阻射击，要求弹着点在目标前方一定距离，达到威慑警告、逼停“被劫持商船”的目的。截停“被劫持商船”后，昆明舰特战分队乘坐小艇向目标实施机动突击，按计划进行搜索拿捕。狭窄过道和舱室里，特战分队各小组采用多种战术动作，交替掩护、密切协同，最终成功制服“海盗”，解救全部船员。 “训练中，我们采取模块分练与分队协同方式，有效检验了单舰反恐反海盗及武力营救的能力水平，为完成后续护航任务打下坚实基础。”编队指挥员表示，全体官兵坚持航行一路、训练一路、研究一路、提高一路，紧贴任务实际和使命要求，不断锤炼遂行多样化军事任务能力。远海砺精兵，忠诚卫和平。身处亚丁湾的护航官兵以深蓝为答卷，在万里之外书写着使命担当。正如编队官兵所说：“守护这条重要国际航道安全，是我们送给祖国最好的祝福。”
