Chapter 509: Sea Wolf Voyage
On August 28, the 170th ship returned to its home port, and the week's routine patrol was also a week of adaptation training for the Seawolf special operations team. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The changes on the surface are very obvious, Li Mu and the others have become darker, if it weren't for the camouflage on their faces, I'm afraid they would have to peel off their skin.
Back in Hong Kong, as soon as they landed on land, when Li Mu and the others stood on the solid floor, they couldn't help but feel dazed, and their bodies swayed uncontrollably, but they quickly got used to it.
People who have been on a boat will have the same experience, after swaying at sea for a long time, adapting to the rickety environment, to the stable land, before adapting to the unstable, will not be able to stand steady, always feel that it is still shaky, the body and the cerebellum that control the balance need a process of adaptation.
This process of adaptation varies from person to person.
Fortunately, Li Mu and the others have the experience of taking landing ships, and they adapt to it relatively quickly.
There were ambulances from the military hospital waiting directly on the dock, and they were loaded into it directly, and then sent directly to the hospital for a comprehensive physical examination. It's not that they're worried about something going wrong, it's mainly about getting first-hand data about their bodies. Obviously, those data have a lot of reference value for the same training in the future, and will even be implemented as a criterion for the selection of recruits for the Navy Special Forces.
Whether a person can be a land soldier or a sea soldier may be known during the conscription physical examination, but whether the sea service soldier can become a special soldier in the navy is more physical fitness standards that need to be referenced.
The importance of the Seawolf Special Combat Team is beyond the imagination of the members themselves, and perhaps only Yang Zhiyuan knows the important mission on the shoulders of the Seawolf Special Combat Team.
The characteristics of the mission put forward limitations, and any weapons of the warship itself, for the most part, could not be used. Even if it is a frigate, the least powerful weapon is a 76 mm caliber naval gun, of course, it is not possible to use 7 barrels of 30 mm close defense guns against a corsair.
Don't forget, Somali pirates usually use small boats that can't withstand the fire of 12.7 mm heavy machine guns.
Because of this, the Seawolf Special Operations Team is particularly important, because they are the real main escort force, and the mothership itself only serves as a carrier and as a deterrent. Specifically, it was the Seawolf Special Combat Team, which used light weapons, that was specifically responsible for the strike.
The chances of encountering a pirate ship of all sizes are almost zero.
If there were, I'm afraid it would have been blown up by the Yankees' warships a long time ago.
What Yang Zhiyuan knows is that the escort mission will be a long-term overseas military operation, and according to the plan, it will be rotated according to the frequency of three months, so that the three fleets will have the opportunity to participate in it and gain rare practical experience in ocean-going operations.
Therefore, as the commander of the ship-based special operations force, he must consider so many batches of special operations teams in the future, so all aspects of the Seawolf special operations team, including the physical fitness data of the members, are particularly important.
That night, Li Mu and the others were sent back to the military port, where they lived in a small courtyard next to the office building of the organ, where idlers were not allowed to approach, and entered a state of secrecy. This means that they have been restricted from communicating with the outside world, and I am afraid that it will continue until the end of the mission.
The small courtyard has always been used by the intelligence department, and it is usually used for business transactions for intelligence officers to rest and hold small meetings, and special operations and intelligence support are two closely related businesses, so it is very reasonable that the Seawolf special operations team is arranged there.
In the evening, the Seawolf special combat team, who was studying the relevant information of the escort sea area, ushered in a strange middle-aged man in civilian clothes, who was personally brought to the conference room by Yang Zhiyuan.
Yang Zhiyuan opened his mouth and said, "Before sailing, you must have an understanding of the situation in the relevant sea areas, don't take notes, keep them in your mind. ”
A simple and rude speech, not half a word is about introducing a strange middle-aged man.
Li Mu looked at the middle-aged man who was not tall, not short, not thin or fat, it was difficult for him to have a specific impression of such a person quickly, to put it bluntly, this was a middle-aged man with a very popular appearance, thrown into the pile, even a person with a strong memory like Li Mu could not quickly find him out according to his characteristics, because this person had almost no appearance characteristics.
"First of all, the case of piracy. The middle-aged man got straight to the point, "There are hundreds of pirates who often haunt the Gulf of Aden, which are roughly divided into two categories, the first category, most of which are developed by civilians in the surrounding areas, and the second category, a small number of which are supported by international organizations, such as criminal groups, drug trafficking groups, and terrorist organizations. Let me introduce the specifics of the two types of pirates, including their usual modus operandi......"
For two hours, the middle-aged man gave a very detailed introduction to the situation of pirates in the Gulf of Aden, and introduced the relevant national escort formations carrying out escort missions in the area, and finally pointed out the sea area where hijacking incidents often occur on the map.
Li Mu and the others can be regarded as having a clear understanding of the situation in the sea area they are about to go to, and Li Mu, who has a more sensitive sense of smell, can roughly judge that the middle-aged man must be from the mysterious intelligence department, and what he said is undoubtedly a summary of the intelligence that the intelligence department has spent a lot of effort to collect.
Even, Li Mu faintly felt that the middle-aged man's focus was on the second type of pirates, and with support behind him, he was undoubtedly more professional and more difficult to deal with. Maybe there are a lot of powerful relationships behind it. So much so that Li Mu felt that this escort might not be as simple as dealing with pirates, but it was just a feeling.
After introducing the situation, the middle-aged man was sent away by Yang Zhiyuan, judging from Yang Zhiyuan's attitude, the middle-aged man's position will not be too low, all in all, Li Mu and others have not been able to get affirmation from beginning to end - what kind of middle-aged man is.
The next work is boring, in addition to the necessary physical training is to study, familiarize yourself with more relevant materials and carry out ideological education. Going abroad, the latter is even more important, although these soldiers of the original hunter commando have all proved that their thinking is strong enough with bloody facts.
On the last day of August, the first escort group left its home port for the Gulf of Aden.
The first escort group, consisting of a 052B missile destroyer, a 052C air defense destroyer, and a Type 903 integrated supply ship, will arrive in the mission area after about 10 days of sailing to carry out a three-month escort mission.
The Navy was faced with a mission that had never been touched before, the first ocean-going operation with a military operation as the background, and the Hunter Commando from the Army, now the Seawolf Special Operations Team, set off with the ship with the cooperation of a platoon of marines to take on the main anti-hijacking force.
