China Army’s Amphibious Combat Formation: An Amphibious Combat Pioneer Advancing into Deep Blue.

  CCTV News:Amphibious combat is one of the most complicated combat styles in modern warfare, which can effectively carry out strategic deployment against the enemy. As the landing ship unit with the most complete model and the latest equipment in China, a landing ship detachment of the South China Sea Fleet of the Navy seized the opportunity to put new equipment into the queue, and gradually realized the transformation from near-shore transportation type to far-sea delivery type, plane landing type to three-dimensional landing type, and single function type to multiple tasks.

  Research on attack and defense of island reefs in three-dimensional landing combat drills

  In April, the South China Sea was full of wind and waves, and a three-dimensional landing combat drill in a complex electromagnetic environment was under intense pressure. As the battle alarm sounded, the helicopter took off with special warfare players and went deep into the enemy’s rear to implement vertical landing; A number of domestic new hovercraft quickly docked, carrying marines to the beach at a rapid pace, and carried out beyond landing; Amphibious chariots and assault boats made waves from the breaking the waves in the belly of Jinggangshan and Kunlun warships, and launched an impact on the beach and quickly seized the islands and reefs.

  Li Xiangdong, detachment leader of a landing ship detachment of the South China Sea Fleet:One of the missions of our landing ship troops is the attack and defense of islands and reefs, so our usual training, including the study of tactics, is the key research scope.

  Landing ships in amphibious docks are in line to change the mode of operation.

  Amphibious landing operation is one of the most complicated combat styles in modern warfare. Landing ships, as the "vanguard" carrying landing soldiers and amphibious equipment, play an important role. In the past, the landing ships of the People’s Navy were mainly 073 and 072 landing ships, which were limited by the equipment performance. The main landing mode was offshore plane landing. In 2008, China’s first amphibious dock landing ship "Kunlun Mountain Ship" entered the ranks, marking a revolutionary change in the amphibious combat mode of the navy.

  Yang Yang, Captain of the Navy Jinggangshan Ship:At present, foreign troops are mainly prominent in amphibious operations, such as vertical delivery, vertical landing and three-dimensional landing. After serving on Type 071, it represents that our navy has the corresponding ability in this respect.

  Type 071 amphibious dock landing ship is developed, designed and produced by China itself, with a maximum displacement of nearly 20,000 tons. The external design of the ship is concise and capable, with good overall stealth capability, and its maneuverability and seaworthiness are outstanding. Weapons are equipped with new naval gun systems, short-range gun systems and short-range missile jamming devices, which have certain defense capabilities.

  The main mission of this type of ship is to carry out three-dimensional landing operations; It can also undertake non-war military operations such as emergency rescue and disaster relief and ocean escort.

  Huang Yongzhi, captain of the Navy Kunlun Mountain Ship:We can carry out vertical landing in the air by helicopter, organize beyond landing by hovercraft, and carry our amphibious tank equipment for plane landing and three-dimensional landing.

  Carry out non-military operations and accumulate offshore experience

  Carrying out non-war military operations is an important mission of amphibious dock landing ships. On June 30th, 2010, the China Navy dispatched the sixth escort formation to Somalia. The Kunlun Mountain Ship, as the formation command ship, carried two large transport planes and a new domestic air-cushion landing craft, and for the first time carried out dock flooding, boat retraction and air-cushion landing craft in the open sea.

  Huang Yongzhi, captain of the Navy Kunlun Mountain Ship:For the first time, we carried several planes at sea to ensure the take-off and landing of the planes, trained with hovercraft for the first time, and replenished with three 10,000-ton giant supply ships for the first time. Through these explorations, the construction of our follow-up ships, including the training of talents for follow-up ships, has laid a foundation.

  Participate in the rescue of flight MH370 at all costs.

  In the early morning of March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 was lost, and the fate of 239 passengers on board was uncertain, including 153 China compatriots. The China government was worried about the safety of the passengers on board. China’s navy quickly attacked. At 3: 00 am on March 9, the Jinggangshan ship set sail overnight with helicopters and marines to the accident area, and launched a three-dimensional search and rescue in this urgent offshore suspected lost sea area.

  Since then, the "Kunlun Mountain" ship has continued to reinforce, carrying marines and ship-borne helicopters to the suspected sea area. From the Gulf of Thailand to the South Indian Ocean, the search and rescue officers and soldiers braved the harsh sea conditions, regardless of the sun and rain, and searched and rescued the lost compatriots 24 hours a day.

  Wang Fei, a member of the Navy Jinggangshan Ship:Holding a telescope every day, I dare not blink. Even if a small black dot or a bird flies over my head, I hope to find the target. To tell the truth, what we started thinking was that we could save one.

  Lu Yongjun, the internship captain of the naval Jinggangshan ship;Our Il -76 passed by the warship, and the naval and air forces converged in the South Indian Ocean. The China Navy and the China Air Force searched and rescued our compatriots in China, overcame all difficulties at all costs, and did our best to fulfill the mission of our army.

  Practical exercises to temper collaborative assault ability

  A landing ship detachment of the South China Sea Fleet joined forces with amphibious forces, helicopter forces and air force to conduct a joint three-dimensional landing combat exercise, focusing on the cooperative assault capability of landing ships, multi-type air-cushion landing craft and helicopters.

  Yang Yang, Captain of the Navy Jinggangshan Ship:Mainly according to the time node, at the time point of firepower, there are your landing soldiers, our hovercraft and our helicopter to land suddenly. This time should be considered in the use of firepower, which may cause accidental shooting and injury by one minute, but it will tie your hands and feet and affect the whole battle process.

  Before the beach landing, the large air-cushion landing craft loaded with hundreds of landing soldiers and amphibious assault vehicles sailed at high speed from the dock hundreds of kilometers away to the exercise sea area, and carried out the transcendental beach landing.

  Wei Junpeng, captain of a new air cushion landing craft in the Navy;At present, this type of boat plays a very obvious role in the field of combat. First of all, its speed is the fastest in the world at present, which is unmatched by other ships. Among hovercraft, it also has the largest loading capacity. It can carry a large part of troops at high speed and high efficiency, and transport them from shore to shore and land.

  The command ship Jinggangshan Ship relied on the joint command platform at sea, and at the same time commanded and guided hovercraft, helicopters and amphibious vehicles to launch a three-dimensional surmounting landing. Several helicopters and fighters carried out covering attacks on enemy shelters and successfully landed on the beach.

  Li Xiangdong, detachment leader of a landing ship detachment of the South China Sea Fleet:We have rehearsed this kind of course repeatedly. I think we have this ability and should reassure the people of the whole country. We have this ability, and we dare to fight. As long as the motherland needs it, we will be able to complete the mission entrusted to us.

  Study new tactics and build a "dual-core" combat system

  Equipment update brings innovation in tactics. In recent years, landing ship troops have kept a close eye on their missions and tasks, and constantly improved their combat effectiveness through actual combat training. They have successively created records such as organizing hovercraft formations to enter and leave the mother ship and carrier aircraft for the first time, and organizing multiple hovercraft to land in multiple directions at the same time for the first time. They have innovatively studied the tactics and training methods such as "controlling the network with the net and managing the line", and made great efforts to build an amphibious combat system with amphibious dock landing ships and large hovercraft as "dual cores".

  Li Xiangdong, detachment leader of a landing ship detachment of the South China Sea Fleet:We should use new tactics and training methods to draw our commanders to think about fighting and strengthen our thinking. What is the threat at sea in the future? How should the ocean-going formation be formed in the future? How should we form a formation? We don’t consider this problem, and others don’t consider it for us.

  Multi-ship amphibious combat forces are getting stronger and stronger.

  On February 1st, 2016, a new member was added to the amphibious dock landing ship "Family", and Yimengshan Ship was listed in the Navy’s East China Sea Fleet. So far, the China Navy has had several large amphibious dock landing ships. On March 7 of the same year, Wuyishan Ship, Culaishan Ship and Wutaishan Ship entered the ranks at the same time, and they were able to undertake the task of transporting landing soldiers across the sea and landing on the island in landing operations.

  After years of development, the amphibious assault equipment force system has been continuously strengthened, and new progress has been made in the construction of supporting equipment forces, making it an amphibious landing force that no country in the world can underestimate.

   Li Xiangdong, detachment leader of a landing ship detachment of the South China Sea Fleet:We will soon see the construction of our amphibious fist power and have greater development. Although it has developed very fast at present. You see that 071 has gone down one by one, and the hovercraft has been launched continuously. The next step will be more, bigger and faster, so we are a new fist force of the navy.

Reporter’s note: a vivid and profound investigation and demonstration

  Xinhua News Agency, Guangzhou, April 15th Title: reporter’s note: a vivid and profound investigation and demonstration

  Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhu Jichai and Huang Yue

  April in Lingnan is a good time for spring breeze. Since the new era, General Secretary of the Supreme Leader has visited Guangdong for the fourth time.

  This is the first local investigation by the General Secretary in the first year of fully implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It is also the first out-of-town investigation after the two sessions of the National People’s Congress in 2023 and the start of the theme education of studying and implementing Socialism with Chinese characteristics Thought of the Supreme Leader in the new era.

  From April 10th to 13th, in four days, Zhanjiang-Maoming-Guangzhou crossed the land of western Guangdong from west to east, and traveled thousands of miles from the Qiongzhou Strait to the Pearl River. The Supreme Leader General Secretary worked tirelessly, researching and thinking all the way.

  Along the way, scenes are constantly changing: there are "golden waterways" of vehicles and boats, there are "marine guards" thriving into forests, there are green flowers in litchi orchards, and there are machines roaring in enterprise workshops … …

  In this line, all faces come to the fore: fishery experts who cultivate improved varieties are full of confidence, villagers who taste the sweetness of litchi are smiling brightly, young people who carry out autonomous driving experiments are focused, and foreign representatives who are deeply involved in the China market are full of expectations … …

  Investigation and study, the Communist Party of China (CPC) people’s "family heirloom".

  Turn to Zhijiang Xinyu, and the first article at the beginning is "Research work should be" deep, solid, detailed, accurate and effective ". In the theme education just started, the CPC Central Committee decided to take "investigating and studying vigorously in the whole party" as an important content.

  From the footprint of the general secretary’s investigation in Guangdong, we can deeply understand the true meaning.

  It is very important to investigate the subject and object. Why go to Guangdong?

  This is a well-thought-out choice: "I always have high hopes for the work in Guangdong" and "Guangdong is a window. Come to Guangdong to have a look and learn about the new progress and new atmosphere since the 20 th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. "

  The general secretary’s previous visits to Guangdong coincided with an important node in the progress of the party and state.

  As a "vanguard, pioneer and experimental area", Guangdong shoulders the heavy responsibility and does its part. During this inspection, the General Secretary entrusted Guangdong with a new major mission — — "Be in the forefront in promoting Chinese modernization".

  Chinese-style modernization is an unprecedented great cause. From the theoretical breakthrough to the practical advancement, where are the "bridges and ships"? The general secretary’s trip is an anatomy of sparrows and a vivid case guidance.

  The depth of investigation and the solid style of work are impressive.

  Take Zhanjiang, the first stop of the investigation. Within one day, the General Secretary visited the South Base of the National 863 Plan Project, the mangrove area of Jinniu Island in Huguang Town, Mazhang District, Xuwen Port and Dashuiqiao Reservoir in xuwen county. The inspection site is far away, and the general secretary goes south along Leizhou Peninsula to the southernmost tip of mainland China.

  Set out against the morning sun and return in the night, in order to have a look at the local development and changes and learn more about the actual situation.

  Everywhere he went, the general secretary talked with the grassroots in detail about family affairs and calculated development accounts.

  Under the litchi tree in Baiqiao village, Maoming, I asked about the price of litchi, sales channels, income of fruit farmers, and I was particularly concerned about the preservation of litchi. In the exhibition hall of GAC, questions were asked in great detail from the price to sales volume of new energy vehicles, from material technology to battery technology.

  There are not only accurate and specific investigations, but also extensive discussions and exchanges. The general secretary personally touched the situation, directly listened to the reflection, and sought the "source of living water" with insight.

  In Guangzhou Automobile Research Institute, a unique "research meeting" was held.

  More than 10 representatives from all walks of life in Guangdong gathered together and met the general secretary face to face. Among them, there are strategic scientists, senior engineers, entrepreneurs, artisans from big countries, and heads of China District of many foreign companies.

  The atmosphere at the scene was very lively. Everyone held a word, talked about their thoughts and experiences, and actively offered suggestions. The general secretary listened attentively, interjected questions from time to time and gave an in-depth response.

  "Very cordial and kind" "I didn’t expect the General Secretary to know so much about marine fisheries" and "asked very carefully and specifically" … … This is the real feeling of the grassroots to see this "people’s orderly".

  The party member cadres who accompanied the inspection said, "I was deeply encouraged and once again received a vivid and profound education by taking the party’s mass line and vigorously investigating and studying."

  Investigation and research are problem-oriented and aim at guiding practice.

  During this inspection tour in Guangdong, the General Secretary conducted in-depth research and deep thinking all the way, and made pulse consultation and precise guidance for key areas and key links to promote high-quality development and build a new development pattern.

  From a reservoir, we understand the optimal allocation of water resources, and then seek an effective way to solve the imbalance of regional development.

  On the levee of Dashuiqiao Reservoir, the general secretary looked up from afar: "You see, the water problem has been solved, and it can be further developed here." "This is a strategic issue, so we should look at it more deeply."

  From a litchi orchard, we pay attention to the development of rural characteristic industries, and then think about how to comprehensively promote rural revitalization and promote the coordinated development of urban and rural areas.

  Facing the enthusiastic villagers in Baiqiao Village, the general secretary said, "We should make common prosperity, bring the rich first and then push the rich later forward." "Rural revitalization should be in harmony with these ‘ The great man of the country ’ Combine. "

  In the investigation of Guangzhou Automobile, from the production lines in the workshop to the laboratories of cutting-edge research, the general secretary was deeply touched and once again stressed: "We should attach importance to the real economy, take the road of self-reliance and realize self-reliance in science and technology."

  The blueprint has been drawn and the horn has sounded. The key is to work hard and turn the blueprint into reality.

  Start with research and open the way with research.

  At the critical moment when the new journey started, the General Secretary set an example for the whole party with a vivid and profound investigation, and led the cadres in party member to make good use of "family heirlooms" and "basic skills", grasp the facts, make scientific decisions and do a good job in implementation.

  On the coast of the South China Sea, "The Story of Spring" opens a new chapter. The general secretary’s words are full of confidence: "Chinese modernization has goals, plans and strategies, and will certainly be realized. We will move forward step by step. "
