初夏时节，南部战区海军某扫雷舰大队台山舰、开平舰组成编队奔赴某海域，一场实战化反水雷训练就此拉开战幕。 “发现疑似‘浮雷’！”航行途中，编队遇到“水面威胁”，迅速减速调整队形，占据有利射击阵位。主炮旋转，紧紧锁定浪间飘忽的目标。“砰！砰！”电光石火间，数发炮弹精准扑向目标，海面上瞬间腾起阵阵水柱，海面“威胁”被悉数清除。官兵观察海面情况。刘丕禄摄主炮射击。刘丕禄摄抵达训练雷区，开平舰声呐战位率先发现水下目标。经综合研判，确认目标信息后，指挥所立即命令开平舰实施灭雷作业。猎雷班班长沉稳操控，猎雷具被吊放入水，在操作手精准遥控下，快速向海底目标一步步逼近。 “投放灭雷炸弹!”指挥员一声令下，炸弹被精准投放至目标区域，水雷被成功扫除。官兵认真操作。刘丕禄摄水雷引爆。刘丕禄摄 “此次训练淬炼了不同舰型、不同装备之间的协同反水雷能力，编队扫雷训法战法得到进一步检验。”该大队领导表示，下一步，他们将继续从难从严构设战场环境，进一步磨砺部队反水雷作战能力。开展损管灭火训练。刘丕禄摄

Summary

Machine summary

The Taishan and Kaiping, minesweepers assigned to a Southern Theater Command Navy flotilla, conducted a coordinated anti-mine exercise in early summer involving surface mine engagement with main guns, underwater mine detection by sonar, and mine destruction using remotely operated gear. The exercise documents a cross-vessel, cross-equipment coordination problem the flotilla is actively working through — specifically integrating different minesweeper types into a unified anti-mine workflow — and the flotilla leader's explicit reference to validating 训法战法 confirms this was a methods-testing iteration rather than a routine proficiency drill. Southern Theater Command's mine countermeasures capacity is directly relevant to any Taiwan Strait or South China Sea contingency where adversary mining of approach lanes would be a credible threat.
