Riverside police

Linggangtuo 001 conference room and lounge is now the joint command headquarters of the transport fleet.

Li Mingsheng and the maritime militiamen from four districts and counties continuously called the various transport squadrons sailing within a radius of five nautical miles through the radio, asking each squadron to report the position and speed of each ship, and then asked the relevant fishing boats to adjust their course and speed in accordance with Han Yu's order. Even the formation of the entire transport fleet during navigation.

Although the call was in plain language, the call was in dialect, and the call was in code. There are so many dialects in Binjiang that even Han Yu can only understand the conversations of the fellows from Linghai.

The chattering sounded like Japanese. Lieutenant Colonel Chen felt like he was abroad and could not understand a word.

Staff Officer Zhang also couldn't understand it, and had to wait for Li Mingsheng and others to "translate" it before he could mark the positions of each ship on the sand table.

After an hour and a half of adjustments, it finally looked like something.

Han Yu looked at the sand table set up by Staff Officer Zhang and continued: "Chief Li, Staff Officer Zhang, maintain the current formation before dark, and order Jiangyu 109, 211, 280, 301 and 488 to be more vigilant and strengthen air and anti-aircraft Look out for the sea and report any situation in a timely manner.”

"yes!"

"Order 001 and the Binxun air defense team to pay attention to air defense."

"yes."

After Han Yu gave the order, he opened the hatch and walked out, raising his telescope to observe the sea.

Lieutenant Colonel Chen and Captain Ding roughly understood that the fifty-seven ships of the Binjiang detachment were scattered within a five-mile radius of the sea. They seemed scattered and messy. The farthest ships could not be seen without a telescope, but in fact there were Constitutional.

Among the five fishing boats responsible for transporting supplies, one is in front of the main force, three are to the east of the main force, and one is behind the main force, keeping a distance of three nautical miles from the main force and responsible for guarding the main force.

The training ship equipped with anti-aircraft guns and Linggang Tow 001 are located between the guard fleet and the main force. As the second barrier of the main force, they escort the fifty fishing boats transporting troops together with the five fishing boats that guide, rear and peripherally guard. .

Taking into account navigation safety and ease of command, the entire transport fleet will shrink in formation after dark. After all, visibility is not good at night, and civilian radar does not have the function of identifying friend or foe. If it does not shrink, it will really disperse.

It is worth mentioning that even though the current formation is very scattered, with just one order, the entire transport fleet can be assembled within half an hour.

Breaking the whole into parts, turning the parts into whole, and retracting and releasing freely, not everyone can do this.

What surprised Lieutenant Colonel Chen even more was that they even had plans for air strikes and artillery attacks.

Once encountering an air attack or artillery attack and being hit, the crew of each ship will immediately organize officers and soldiers to abandon the ship and escape. All small boats and lifeboats, including the power boat on Linggang Tow 001, will be put on the ground as soon as possible. Haili organizes search and rescue.

If an enemy ship is encountered, the fishing boats of the transport brigade will use smoke bombs to evacuate offshore as planned. The five fishing boats responsible for the alert will rush forward without hesitation and ram the enemy ship to buy time for the transport fleet to evacuate.

The anti-aircraft guns on the training ship and Linggang Tow 001 need to adjust their angles to fire flatly. Two anti-aircraft guns may not be able to defeat the enemy ships, but they can buy time for the transport fleet.

In short, they are really practicing, and everything is close to actual combat, unlike others who are just carrying out troop transportation tasks.

Lieutenant Colonel Chen felt so uncomfortable in his eyes that he couldn't bear to tell them that the real exercise had not yet begun.

Such a large-scale cross-military, cross-fleet, and cross-service joint military exercise cannot be carried out by sending participating troops to designated sea areas and organizing beach landings.

There were so many troops participating in the war, and they were not familiar with them before, let alone coordinate with them. They must first assemble, familiarize themselves with the terrain, figure out their respective tasks and attack times, how to connect them, etc. It must be accurate to every minute and every second, and it must be specific to each platoon or even each squad.

Han Yu has never been a soldier, so he doesn't know or understand these things.

Xiaoyu doesn’t know or understand.

Although Ma Jintao had been a soldier, he was a top soldier and he didn't understand.

Riding on a boat was boring, and the distance between the boats was too long. There was no chance to continue "interacting" with the army brothers. They were still thinking about it and transformed into artillery soldiers. Like the previous two days, they asked the militia brother to be their master and teach them how to operate. Anti-aircraft guns.

As for the anti-aircraft gun, there is one in the camp, but it was scrapped by the Meteorological Bureau. A scrapped gun is not as fun as a gun that can be used in actual combat.

Xiaoyu grinned and said: "Brother Yang, you have nothing to do when you are idle, give me an order."

Ma Jintao couldn't help laughing and said: "Lao Yang, we are all soldiers now, and we all obey your command."

Platoon Leader Yang of the Chonggang District Militia Regiment had no choice but to signal to his subordinates to give up their positions, cleared his throat, and ordered: "Gather the artillery!"

Xiaoyu, Ma Jintao, Chen Jian, and Gao Jichun all became gunners, and they all shouted in unison: "1526 good!"

"To locate!"

"1 good!"

"5 good!"

"2 good!"

"Check the cannon due east!"

Following Platoon Commander Yang's order, Xiaoyu quickly turned the steering wheel.

Ma Jintao and other militia squad leader Zhu removed the limiter and quickly lowered the barrel of the gun to level it.

Chen Jian and Gao Jichun opened the upper cover according to the operating procedures, took a look, pulled back the handle, removed the movable bolt on the breech of the gun, and checked whether there was any foreign matter in the barrel.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Jintao turned the gun barrel to 45 degrees, Lao Zhu immediately set the limiter, and Chen Jian and Gao Jichun opened the safety at the same time.

Ma Jintao fired the shot, Chen Jian and Gao Jichun closed the bolt for safety, and then reported: "The gun inspection is completed!"

It is actually very simple to operate an anti-aircraft gun, otherwise these brats would not have become so proficient after only two days of learning, but it is not that easy to shoot accurately.

Platoon Leader Yang smiled and ordered: "Search the bombs!"

Chen Jian and Gao Jichun immediately pulled the bolt to secure the ammunition, loaded the ammunition, pulled back the handle, and both reported "good ammunition", but they were loading training ammunition that could not fire.

"Turn on the insurance!"

"Search for target due east!"

…

Just when they were having fun, the roar of airplanes came from the sky.

I'm worried that I can't find the target, but the target is here!

How could Xiaoyu miss this opportunity? He immediately turned the gun body and adjusted the shooting angle.

Ma Jintao was happy, looking up at the silver-gray transport plane flying from the south and reporting to shoot at Zhu Yuan.

The gun barrel continued to move along with the course of the transport plane. Qian Shiming could see it clearly from the bridge of the training ship and subconsciously raised his telescope.

Sure enough, what was flying over was a military transport plane flying very low, and the words "August 1st" could be clearly seen.

Qian Shiming was startled and hurriedly grabbed the tweeter speaker: "Xiaoyu, Ma Jintao, what are you doing?"

The ship's communication system was installed on the temporary gun position. Xiaoyu didn't bother to reply. Platoon leader Zhang hurriedly walked in and picked up the communication system: "Report to the chief of staff, the anti-aircraft artillery squad is organizing training and searching for targets!"

"What target are you searching for? They are friendly forces!"

"Friendly forces?"

"Look carefully, there is a Bayi on the fuselage!"

Xiaoyu grabbed the intercom and grinned: "Chief of Staff, we are just taking a look."

Qian Shiming didn't want the friendly forces on the plane to misunderstand, so he scolded: "You can't even take a look!"

"The 'August 1st' painted on the fuselage means friendly forces. What if it's not? Chief of Staff, we are performing escort missions, and escort includes air defense. Don't worry, what we are escorting are training bombs, not live ammunition."

"Stop making trouble, have you seen it? People have noticed us and are about to circle around."

"Then we must be more vigilant."

These brats are so lawless.

Qian Shiming realized that his words were useless, and then he thought about the fact that it was a transport plane and not a fighter jet, and with so many red flags flying on his ship, the friendly forces would not misunderstand him, so he simply put down the intercom and let them take aim.

The naval aviation pilot who was performing an air patrol was startled. He adjusted his course and came over to take a closer look. Sure enough, there was an anti-aircraft gun on the front deck of the freighter below, and it was aimed at him.

"Captain, what should I do?"

"What do you mean."

"They are targeting us, what if there is a misfire!"

"Adjust your course and stay away from them."

"Which unit's cargo ship is this? How come the anti-aircraft guns were carried on board?"

"It doesn't look like a transport fleet." The captain of the flight team thought for a while, turned on the radio, adjusted the call frequency, looked at the training ship sailing on the sea, and asked: "Please pay attention to the freighter below, please pay attention to the freighter below. , we are the Chinese naval aviation force, please report the name of your ship, please report the name of your ship immediately."

I am really afraid of what will happen.

When Qian Shiming saw Teacher Xia looking over with a wry smile, he could only bite the bullet and reply: "We are the Chinese freighter Bin Xun. We are the Chinese freighter Bin Xun. We...we are organizing sea training for students. It's over."

"Why is your ship equipped with anti-aircraft guns?"

"The crew of our ship are both sailors and naval reserve officers and soldiers, and our ship is organizing maritime air defense training."

"Are you in the Navy Reserves?"

"yes."

"Even if it is a naval reserve force, even if it organizes air defense training, it cannot aim blindly!"

"Received, our ship will rectify it immediately."

After figuring out the identity of the freighter below, the captain of the flight team finally breathed a sigh of relief, ended the call, and turned around and said: "Xiao Liu, go report to the commander."

"Yes!" A young pilot unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and walked into the cabin. He reported to a major general who was observing the sea through the porthole: "Reporting to the chief, below is our Chinese freighter Jiang Xun. They said they are ours." The Naval Reserve Force is organizing sea training for cadets."

The lieutenant sitting in the row behind the chief opened the folder and quickly checked the list of freighters participating in the exercise.

There were many fishing boats and few cargo ships participating in the exercise.

The lieutenant staff officer found it quickly and leaned over and said: "Chief, Jiang Xun belongs to the Binjiang Naval Reserve Rescue Ship Group. It is our ship and participates in the exercise."

"Where should this freighter be according to the exercise plan?"

"Judging from the plan, it should be incorporated into the Binjiang Militia Transport Brigade and is on its way to transport soldiers to Dongshan Island."

"So the fishing boats below all belong to the Binjiang Militia Transport Brigade?"

The lieutenant staff subconsciously moved to the porthole and overlooked the sea. He looked at the fishing boats sailing in twos and threes. He hesitated and said, "It should be."

The leader stared at the sea and said: "Did they yaw?"

"A large number of fleets are in the west. If it is indeed the Binjiang Militia Transport Brigade below, then they have deviated by nearly fifteen nautical miles."

"The formation was so scattered, so far away from the main force, and the anti-aircraft guns were moved onto the ship, and the anti-aircraft guns were aimed at us. It was a bit interesting."

"Chief, you mean..."

"Did you see that there are two fishing boats over there, they should be responsible for perimeter security."

"They did it on purpose!"

"Xiao Yang, fly northwest and count how many ships there are in total." The leader became more and more interesting as he thought about it. After thinking about it, he turned back and said, "Xiao Li, you are responsible for paying attention to the sea surface and figuring out their formation."
