In the clear blue night sky, a full moon cast its clear light on the blue-black sea waves, and a long trembling light pillar appeared on the sea.

Boats 825 and 823 set sail late at night, and under the guidance of the Maritime Safety Administration's patrol boats, they cut through the waves and sailed out of Qingdao Bay safely.

Han Yu stood on the bridge and looked at the sparkling sea under the moonlight, listening to the sound of waves lapping against the hull of the boat. He felt relaxed and happy. Not only was his eyes extremely wide, but his mind was also broadened. He felt that all worldly worries were swept away by the sea.

Clean it all up.

Turning around and looking in the direction of Qingdao, I couldn't help but think of the scene when I accompanied my senior sister on a trip.

I didn't have much money at that time, so I stayed in the cheapest hotels, ate at the cheapest roadside stalls, and wanted to buy everything I saw but couldn't bear to buy anything. But in retrospect, I was really happy and romantic at that time.

Just as he was recalling that year, Jiang Shengqi reminded: "Secretary Han, the coast patrol boat is blowing its whistle."

"Oh." Han Yu calmed down, looked back at the coast patrol boat on the left front and ordered: "Send a signal to Coast Patrol 207 and thank them for sending us all the way."

"Yes!" Jiang Shengqi responded, leaned over to turn on a switch, and skillfully tapped the Morse code, causing the signal light installed above the sidelight to flash continuously.

Immediately afterwards, the signal light on the coast patrol boat also came on.

Han Yu had studied teleportation and even participated in competitions. Looking at the "Have a safe journey" signal sent by the other party, he smiled and said: "I also wish them a safe journey on their return voyage. They are welcome to go to Binjiang when they have time."

"Okay." Jiang Shengqi smiled and continued to send signals as Han Yu intended.

After a while, the coast guard sounded the whistle again, made a big circle and started to return.

Han Yu walked over and looked at the 823 boat not far away, and added: "Send a signal to the 823 boat and ask the 823 boat to sail as planned. There are many fishing boats and more fishing nets in this area. Please pay close attention to the radar to ensure navigation.

Safety."

"clear."

"Lao Liu, Jiang Bin, and Wen Ping, this place is left to you three. Don't rely too much on the radar and pay attention to the lookout."

"Secretary Han, don't worry, we will report any situation in time."

"Okay, I'll go to the cabin first and take a look."

…

Although a sparrow is small but has all its internal organs, this sentence is most suitable for China Customs 825.

Since we will be carrying out anti-smuggling missions at sea in the future, and may even go to sea battles in other provinces and cities, the crew is fully equipped.

In terms of crew configuration and job arrangements on board, the 825 boat is completely different from the 823 boat not far away. It not only refers to the establishment of small naval ships, but also draws on the crew configuration of ocean-going cargo ships.

Han Yu is the captain and the captain, and Jiang Shengqi is the deputy captain and first mate.

Although Xiao Gong is young, he is a cadre and has a professional background. He was entrusted with the important task of serving as the chief mechanical and electrical officer. The chief mechanical and electrical officer is equivalent to the chief engineer, so now everyone calls him "Old Ghost".

Former Linghai boat officer Wang Zhixin serves as the gunnery commander, and all weapons and equipment on the boat are under his control. If he encounters armed smugglers or has other combat missions, he, the gunnery commander, must also serve as the gunnery commander, but the shooter and loader

They should be transferred from the deck department and engine department.

It is worth mentioning that under the strong suggestion of Han Yu and with the approval of his superiors, the machine gun on the boat was disassembled at the shipyard and replaced with a 23mm caliber single-barreled cannon!

The reason why we bring so many artillery shells is not only because of the importance of the mission to be performed, but also because of the training needs. If everything goes well, after dawn, we will conduct live ammunition shooting while sailing.

The boat is not only equipped with machine guns, but also a motorboat.

Once you encounter a fast smuggling boat, or encounter two smuggling boats at the same time, you have to put down the motorboat and chase it, so you need a well-trained commando team.

Guo Weitao's military quality is second to none and he serves as the commando captain.

However, like Wang Zhixin's gunnery commander, he is a "bare commander". When performing assault missions, the team members must be from the deck and engine departments.

Middle tune.

Including the deputy captain and first mate Jiang Shengqi, there are a total of six deck crew members.

The second officer is Liu Chuanjun, a retired officer of the Binjiang ship, the third officer is Liu Wei, whom Han Yu brought to the customs from Linghai Development Zone, and the deck crew members are Jiang Bin and Chen Yulin, who Han Yu brought from Linghai Development Zone, and Linghai

Chen Shilong, a retired soldier on the boat.

Chen Shilong is older than Chen Yulin, so one of them is called "Da Chen" and the other is called "Xiao Chen".

Including the electromechanical chief Xiao Gong, there are also six people in the engineering department.

The second engineer is Sun Yuming, the former electromechanical squad leader of the Binjiang ship, the third engineer is Wang Yongning, the forward engineer of the Linghai ship, and then there are Gao Chao, Ding Wandong and Xu Qijun, the electromechanical soldiers from the two naval ships.

In addition to the deck department and engine department, the 825 boat also has an observation and communication group.

The leader of the Guantong team is Xue Wenping, a former sonar soldier from the Binjiang ship, and the deputy team leader is Yao Yazhong, a former radar soldier from the Linghai ship. Since there are only two of them in the Guantong team, others only have to work two shifts a day, with four people in each shift.

hours, but they rotate every six hours.

Then there is Shang Zhiyong, a cook from the Binjiang ship.

It is very hard for one person to cook for more than a dozen people, but he only cooks when he is out on a mission and does not need to do it after landing. The camp hired two aunties to cook. After landing, he eats ready-made food like everyone else.

As for the duty arrangement, it is similar to that of a seagoing ship.

Deck and engine department personnel work one shift during the day and one shift at night, with each shift lasting four hours.

Third officer Liu Wei, third engineer Wang Yongning and sailor Jiang Bin who were on duty together were all superb mechanics. Their duty hours were from 8 am to 12 noon and from 8 pm to 12 pm, commonly known as eight to twelve.

Second officer Liu Chuanjun, second officer Sun Yuming, sailor Chen Yulin, and mechanic Ding Wandong are on duty together. The duty hours are from 12 midnight to 4 am, and from 12 noon to 4 pm, commonly known as zero to four.

The deputy captain and first mate Jiang Shengqi, the electromechanical chief Xiao Gong, the sailor Chen Shilong, and the mechanic Xu Qijun are on duty together. The duty hours are from 4 am to 8 am, and from 4 pm to 8 pm, commonly known as four to eight.

Just because he was now the second officer and second officer on duty, Guo Weitao, Xiao Gong, Wang Zhixin and others gathered on the back deck to smoke, chat and watch the sea view.

"It's so late, why don't you go to bed?"

"Secretary Han, we can't sleep."

"You have to sleep even if you can't sleep. Tomorrow we not only have a sea trial, but we also have live ammunition shooting. If you don't sleep, you won't be energetic."

"Okay, let's go down to sleep after we finish smoking this cigarette."

An hour ago, the orders issued by the Provincial Military Region and the Navy's East China Sea Base were read out. Everyone was very excited to have the opportunity to carry out peripheral security tasks for the large-scale live-fire military exercises of the two military regions' navy, army, air force, second artillery and militia reserve forces.

It's normal to not be able to sleep.

Han Yu could understand their mood, and was about to go to the engine room to have a look. Wang Zhixin couldn't help but ask: "Secretary Han, we are an anti-smuggling boat, not a naval ship. Why do we have to have radio silence when we leave the port?"

"Yes, 823 is right behind. If you need anything, you can use the radio to shout. Why is it like a secret operation, using semaphores during the day and lights at night?"

"Don't understand?"

"It's not that I don't understand it, I just think it's a bit exaggerated."

As soon as Xu Qijun, the engine crew member, finished speaking, Jiang Bin, the deck crew member, said in confusion: "Secretary Han, the military exercise is not a real war. The maritime affairs department must notify the cargo ships and fishing boats near the exercise area. This secret cannot be kept!"

Although most of them are from the navy, naval ships spend more time in port than at sea, and even if they go to sea, they do not sail too far, so it is normal for them to not understand the situation at sea.

Confidentiality is no small matter.

How did you know?"

Xu Qijun asked eagerly: "Secretary Han, has someone leaked the secret?"

"The Fishery Administration Bureau has conducted self-examinations many times, and it is said that the security forces have also conducted investigations and found that no one leaked secrets. Finally, it was discovered that the problem lies in communications. People can monitor our wireless communication signals. So now the fishery administration ships go out to sea to perform tasks.

It must be kept secret in advance, and after we go to sea, we will receive the specific orders of the mission to be performed via satellite phone fax."

Han Yu paused and added: "As for relevant cargo ships and fishing boats to avoid sailing in the exercise waters, the National Maritime Safety Administration will definitely issue a notice, but the time of issuing the notice is particular."

Guo Weitao asked curiously: "What's the point?"

"To hold such a large-scale joint military exercise, we will definitely have to prepare, mobilize, organize, and transfer soldiers and equipment. It will take time. If someone wants to send warships or even spy ships to peek at how we conduct the exercise, it will also take time to prepare.

"

"That's pretty much what it means, but it's not that easy to keep it secret."

Han Yu raised his finger to the top of his head and said solemnly: "Do you know why we chose to set sail in the middle of the night? It is to avoid other people's satellites. Such a large-scale military exercise requires mobilizing so many troops. The Navy's ships have to leave the port, and the Air Force's

Fighters, bombers and transport planes are about to make a transition, and God knows whether the United States will be able to observe it through satellites."

Xiao Gong asked in a low voice: "What should we do?"

"This is something that the leaders will consider. Our mission is to patrol the designated waters as soon as possible to see if there are any foreign warships in the waters and ensure the safety of the submarine formations that go to sea to conduct live-fire exercises."

"Where's that at home?"

"What home?"

"Secretary Han, didn't you say that the training ship of the Maritime Academy, the tugboats of Linghai Port and the third company of the Linghai Reserve Battalion will also participate in the exercise?"

"We don't need to worry about it at home. The military division and the Linghai Armed Forces Department will make arrangements. Besides, the political commissar of Ge Diaohe is in charge at home, and Bureau Feng will fly back to Binjiang tomorrow morning."

…

Just as he was talking, the roar of the host suddenly stopped.

The swells on the sea are not small, and it is very dangerous for the anti-smuggling boat to suddenly lose power and suddenly stop sailing.

The hull of the boat shook violently with the swells, and an alarm sounded from the loudspeaker.

Han Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he ran to the cabin and asked, "What's going on? Why did the main engine shut down?"

Wang Yongning, who was on duty in the cabin, was also frightened and shouted anxiously: "I don't know, I'm checking."

"Xiao Gong, go down with me to check! Wei Tao, quickly tell Vice Captain Jiang to get on the bridge and hold me steady."
