[Exercise-2021 Navy] The modern navy, which is striding deep blue and powerful, is accelerating its growth.

CCTV News:In recent years, with the accelerated pace of naval transformation, systematic training of aircraft carrier formation has become the norm, aviation has moved from "shore-based" to "ship-based" and marine corps has moved towards global operations, and new combat forces have achieved more leap-forward development. In 2021, the People’s Navy paid great attention to actual combat training, built and improved a new naval military training system, comprehensively improved the level of actual combat training, constantly accelerated the transformation from offshore defense to offshore defense, and steadily improved strategic deterrence and counterattack, maritime mobile operations, maritime joint operations, comprehensive defense operations and comprehensive support capabilities. A powerful modern navy is accelerating its growth. 

Recently, the first domestic amphibious assault ship Hainan ship, which just entered the fleet this year, launched a series of experimental training tasks in a certain sea area of the South China Sea, and successively completed the cooperative training of ship-borne helicopters, hovercraft and amphibious vehicles, keeping a close eye on the key links of ship deployment optimization, improving command flow, strengthening coordination ability and so on, and solidly carried out various trainings, so that the combat effectiveness construction was steadily improved.

Chen Chenyang, chief of staff of a landing ship detachment:Since the Hainan ship entered the train, we have optimized and improved the deployment through a series of trainings, continuously improved the ability of operating equipment and controlling ships, promoted the integration of people and equipment, and comprehensively formed the platform operation and management capabilities, laying a solid foundation for the rapid generation of new combat effectiveness.

Accumulate new combat forces to win the commanding heights

In October this year, the Nanchang ship, which participated in the Sino-Russian "maritime joint -2021" exercise in the sea and airspace near Peter the Great Bay in Russia, was the new face of the series of "maritime joint" exercises. This ship is the first ship of the 055-type 10,000-ton destroyer independently developed by China. It has successively broken through a series of key technologies such as the overall design, information integration and final assembly construction of large ships, equipped with new air defense, anti-missile, anti-ship and anti-submarine weapons, and has strong information perception, air defense and anti-missile and sea attack capabilities.

Liang Dong, deputy captain of Nanchang Ship:Our ship has been experienced in major tasks and baptized in the open sea. The equipment performance of Type 055 ship has been well verified, and the ability and training level of personnel have been well demonstrated and further improved.

The surface warship formations that the Chinese side participated in this time left Hong Kong in early October and arrived in Peter the Great Bay in Russia on October 13. They came all the way through the waves and trained all the way. During the voyage, officers and men always focused on actual combat requirements, maintained combat readiness, and fully tested their ability to operate in the open sea. Participating ships from different units, relying on the modular platform to share the situation, the joint training ability has been fully tested. After the Sino-Russian "maritime joint -2021" exercise, the Chinese participating ship formation and the Russian Navy Pacific Fleet formed a joint formation to carry out joint maritime cruises.

Chen Weigong, political commissar of Nanchang Ship:During the exercise of Nanchang Ship, the main gun test shot hit the target ship and achieved excellent performance in other subjects, which also enhanced the confidence of the crew. A group of crew members participated in the ocean adult ceremony, which can be said that the joy of growing up in the wind and waves made them truly feel the glory of being naval soldiers. The Chinese and Russian armed forces are important forces for maintaining world peace, and the joint performance and cruise of the two armed forces have effectively improved the ability of joint action.

Closest to "combat state" Practical military training 

In the deep winter, the Yellow Sea is full of wind and waves, and a submarine actual combat confrontation drill is in full swing. A submarine detachment of the navy in the northern theater adopts the methods of maneuvering guidance, no plan, independent confrontation, etc., to promote the transformation of military training to actual combat, confrontation and unknowns.

Sha Weiliang, deputy detachment leader of a submarine detachment:We always focus on the difficulties and weaknesses of underwater operations, insist on studying what is needed to win, take the battle training as the same as the battle training, take the future battlefield as the training ground, implement the methods of practicing command, manipulation and offensive and defensive warfare on the battle surface, and beat and temper troops in the open sea and big waves.

Since the beginning of this year, the naval submarine force has carried out high-intensity practical training at sea, practicing diligence, training precision and overcoming difficulties. It has repeatedly scrutinized and studied every extreme sea condition, every unknown scene and every operational element, and improved the overall actual combat level of the force from multiple angles and in all directions.

Xiao Lijun, captain of a submarine:At present, the cooperation, joint performance and joint training between our submarine forces and various forces, and the acceleration of system capabilities, through the traction of tasks, continue to study and solve the shortcomings that restrict the generation of combat effectiveness, and effectively improve their own ability to win.

At the same time, the Marine Corps is focusing on strengthening the integration of combat forces, combat units and combat elements, and gradually pushing forward three-dimensional delivery, cross-regional base and actual combat training on the seashore.

Liu Zhiqiang, Deputy Brigadier of a Marine Corps Brigade:Faced with the new situation, new opportunities and new missions, we must take a fighting attitude that waits for no time, strengthen the training and preparation of troops, beat and temper troops in different battlefield environments and different mission areas, actively explore new tactics and training methods, set training environments and conditions for opponents, seek new breakthroughs in real training, and strive to forge troops into a elite force with multi-functions, rapid response and global application.

Ten thousand-ton destroyers, amphibious assault ship and new submarines, with the deepening of actual combat training of a large number of new equipment, especially the rapid development of elite forces, the People’s Navy is striding forward towards a combat force system with both offensive and defensive capabilities with an unprecedented brand-new attitude.
