Lots of practice scenes! The Chinese and Cambodian navies jointly organized the first actual maritime exercise
On May 27, local time, the participating maritime forces of both sides participating in the China-Cambodia "Golden Dragon-2024" joint exercise jointly organized an actual maritime exercise in the waters near Sihanoukville Port, Cambodia.
A total of 16 ships from China and Cambodia participated in the exercise. This was the first actual military exercise jointly conducted by the Chinese naval ship formation and the Cambodian navy.
The theme of the exercise is "Joint Anti-Terrorism Operations and Humanitarian Rescue", focusing on joint anti-terrorism and anti-hijacking operations at sea.
The exercise was based on the background of several terrorists hijacking a cargo ship in a certain area of Cambodia and kidnapping the crew for ransom. The Chinese naval dock landing ship Qilianshan and the guided missile frigates Wenshan and Bazhong formed a joint maritime task formation with Cambodian naval vessels. Rush to the sea area where the incident occurred to deal with it.
The mission formation was launched according to the search formation. After comprehensive analysis of multi-source intelligence and joint confirmation of the target, the formation quickly approached the target ship. In order not to overly stimulate the terrorists, Cambodian boat 1109 used the extravehicular amplifier and VHF international channel to shout to the target to express its willingness to negotiate. However, the terrorists suddenly used light weapons to shoot at the 1109 boat. The formation commander ordered the Wenshan ship and the Bazhong ship to intercept and shoot at the cargo ship.
In order to force the mission formation to give up the pursuit, the terrorists threatened to set fire to the front of the cargo ship. Considering the safety of the cargo ship and hostages, the Wenshan ship and the Bazhong ship quickly moved forward and used high-pressure water cannons to support the fire-fighting.
The assault boat carried more than 10 Cambodian special operations team members and carried out armed rescue by means of rapid approach, double-teaming, and forced assault. After taking control of the cargo ship, the special operations team found that one crew member was seriously injured and one crew member was slightly injured. They requested the formation to quickly dispatch medical forces to provide emergency treatment to the injured crew member.
The Qilianshan ship quickly hoisted the small boat and carried the medical team forward to quickly transfer the seriously injured crew members to the maritime rescue center. At the same time, Cambodia sent speedboats to evacuate the lightly wounded and terrorists.
