Linggangtuo 001 conference room and lounge is now the joint command headquarters of the transport fleet.

Li Mingsheng and the maritime militiamen from four districts and counties continuously called the various transport squadrons sailing within a radius of five nautical miles through the radio, asking each squadron to report the position and speed of each ship, and then asked the relevant fishing boats to adjust their course and speed in accordance with Han Yu's order.

Even the formation of the entire transport fleet during the voyage.

Although the call was in plain language, the call was in dialect, and the call was in code. There were so many Binjiang dialects that even Han Yu could only understand the conversation of fellow Linghai people.

The chattering sounded like Japanese. Lieutenant Colonel Chen felt as if he was abroad and could not understand a word.

Staff Officer Zhang also couldn't understand it, and had to wait for Li Mingsheng and others to "translate" it before he could mark the positions of each ship on the sand table.

After an hour and a half of adjustments, it finally looked like something.

Han Yu looked at the sand table set up by Staff Officer Zhang, and then said: "Chief Li, Staff Officer Zhang, maintain the current formation before dark, and order Jiangyu 109, 211, 280, 301 and 488 to be more vigilant, strengthen air and sea lookouts, and respond promptly if there is any situation

report."

"yes!"

"Order 001 and the Binxun air defense team to pay attention to air defense."

"yes."

After Han Yu gave the order, he opened the hatch and walked out, raising his telescope to observe the sea.

Lieutenant Colonel Chen and Captain Ding roughly understood that the fifty-seven ships of the Binjiang detachment were scattered within a five-mile radius of the sea. They seemed scattered and messy. The farthest ships could not be seen without a telescope, but in fact there were

Constitutional.

Among the five fishing boats responsible for transporting supplies, one is in front of the main force, three are to the east of the main force, and one is behind the main force, keeping a distance of three nautical miles from the main force, and is responsible for guarding the main force.

The training ship equipped with anti-aircraft guns and Linggang Tow 001 are located between the guard fleet and the main force. As the second barrier of the main force, they escort the fifty fishing boats transporting troops together with the five fishing boats in the lead, rear and outer guard.

.

Taking into account navigation safety and ease of command, the entire transport fleet will shrink in formation after dark. After all, visibility is not good at night, and civilian radar does not have the function of identifying friend or foe. If it does not shrink, it will really get separated.

It is worth mentioning that even though the current formation is very scattered, with just one order, the entire transport fleet can be assembled within half an hour.

Breaking the whole into parts, turning the zeros into whole, and retracting and releasing freely, this is not something that everyone can do.

What surprised Lieutenant Colonel Chen even more was that they even had plans for air strikes and artillery attacks.

Once encountering an air attack or artillery attack and being hit, the crew of each ship will immediately organize the officers and soldiers to abandon the ship and escape. All small boats and lifeboats, including the power boat on Linggang Tow 001, will be put on board as soon as possible.

Haili organizes search and rescue.

If an enemy ship is encountered, the fishing boats of the transport brigade will use smoke bombs to evacuate offshore as planned. The five fishing boats responsible for the alert will rush forward without hesitation and ram the enemy ship to buy time for the transport fleet to evacuate.

The anti-aircraft guns on the training ship and Linggang Tow 001 need to adjust their angles to fire flatly. Two anti-aircraft guns may not be able to defeat the enemy ships, but they can buy time for the transport fleet.

In short, they are really practicing, and everything is close to actual combat, unlike others who are just carrying out troop transportation tasks.

Lieutenant Colonel Chen felt so uncomfortable in his eyes that he couldn't bear to tell them that the real exercise had not yet begun.

Such a large-scale cross-military, cross-fleet, and cross-service joint military exercise cannot be organized by sending participating troops to designated sea areas and then organizing beach landings.

There are so many troops participating in the battle, and they are not familiar with each other before, let alone coordinate. They must first gather, familiarize themselves with the terrain, figure out their respective tasks and attack time, how to connect with each other, etc., and must be accurate to every minute and second.

Specific to each platoon or even each class.

Han Yu has never been a soldier, so he doesn't know or understand these things.

Xiaoyu doesn’t know or understand.

Although Ma Jintao had served as a soldier, he was a top soldier and still didn't understand.

Taking a boat was boring, and the distance between the boats was too long. There was no chance to continue "interacting" with the army brothers. They were still thinking about it and transformed into artillery soldiers. Like the previous two days, they asked the militia brother to be their master and teach them how to operate.

Anti-aircraft guns.

As for anti-aircraft guns, there is one in the camp, but it was scrapped by the Meteorological Bureau. A scrapped gun is not as fun as a gun that can be used in actual combat.

Xiaoyu grinned and said: "Brother Yang, you have nothing to do when you are idle, give me an order."

Ma Jintao couldn't help laughing and said: "Lao Yang, we are all soldiers now, and we all obey your command."

Platoon Leader Yang of the Chonggang District Militia Regiment had no choice but to signal to his subordinates to give up their positions, cleared his throat, and ordered: "Gather the artillery!"

Xiaoyu, Ma Jintao, Chen Jian, and Gao Jichun all became gunners, and they all shouted in unison: "1526 good!"

"To locate!"

"1 good!"

"5 good!"

"2 good!"

"Check the cannon due east!"

Following Platoon Commander Yang's order, Xiaoyu quickly turned the steering wheel.

Ma Jintao and other militia squad leader Zhu removed the limiter and quickly lowered the gun barrel to level it.

Chen Jian and Gao Jichun opened the upper cover according to the operating procedures, took a look, pulled back the handle, removed the movable bolt on the breech of the gun, and checked whether there was any foreign matter in the barrel.

Immediately afterwards, Ma Jintao turned the gun barrel to 45 degrees, Lao Zhu immediately set the limiter, and Chen Jian and Gao Jichun opened the safety at the same time.

Ma Jintao fired the shot, Chen Jian and Gao Jichun closed the bolt for safety, and then reported: "The gun inspection is completed!"

It is actually very simple to operate an anti-aircraft gun, otherwise these brats would not have become so proficient after only two days of learning, but it is not that easy to shoot accurately.

Platoon Leader Yang smiled and ordered: "Search the bombs!"

Chen Jian and Gao Jichun immediately pulled the bolt to secure the ammunition, loaded the ammunition, pulled back the handle, and both reported "good ammunition", but they were loading training ammunition that could not fire.

"Turn on the safety!"

"Search for target due east!"

…

Just when they were having fun, the roar of airplanes came from the sky.

I'm worried that I can't find the target, but the target is here!

How could Xiaoyu miss this opportunity? He immediately turned the gun body and adjusted the shooting angle.

Ma Jintao was happy, looking up at the silver-gray transport plane flying from the south and reporting to shoot at Zhu Yuan.

The gun barrel continued to move along with the course of the transport plane. Qian Shiming could see it clearly from the bridge of the training ship and subconsciously raised his telescope.

Sure enough, what was flying over here was a military transport plane flying very low, and the words "August 1st" could be clearly seen.

Qian Shiming was startled and hurriedly grabbed the tweeter speaker: "Xiaoyu, Ma Jintao, what are you doing?"

The ship's communication system was installed on the temporary gun position. Xiaoyu didn't bother to reply. Platoon leader Zhang hurriedly walked in and picked up the communication system: "Report to the chief of staff, the anti-aircraft artillery squad is organizing training and searching for targets!"

"What target are you searching for? They are friendly forces!"

"Friendly forces?"

"Look carefully, there is a Bayi on the fuselage!"

Xiaoyu grabbed the intercom and grinned: "Chief of Staff, we are just taking a look."

Qian Shiming didn't want the friendly forces on the plane to misunderstand, so he scolded: "You can't even take a look!"

"If 'August 1st' is painted on the fuselage, it means friendly forces. What if it is not? Chief of Staff, we are performing escort missions, and escort includes air defense. Don't worry, what we are escorting are training bombs, not live ammunition."

"Stop making trouble, have you seen it? People have noticed us and are about to circle around."

"Then we must be more vigilant."

These brats are so lawless.

Qian Shiming realized that what he said was not going to work, and then he thought about the fact that it was a transport plane and not a fighter jet, and with so many red flags flying on his ship, the friendly forces would not misunderstand him, so he simply put down the intercom and let them take aim.

The naval aviation pilot who was performing an air patrol was startled. He adjusted his course and came around to take a closer look. Sure enough, there was an anti-aircraft gun on the front deck of the freighter below, and it was aimed right at him.

"Captain, what should we do?"

"What do you mean."

"They are targeting us, what if there is a misfire!"

"Adjust the course and stay away from them."

"Which unit's freighter is this? How come the anti-aircraft guns were carried on board?"

"It doesn't look like a transport fleet." The captain of the flight team thought for a moment, turned on the radio, adjusted the call frequency, looked at the training ship sailing on the sea, and asked: "Please pay attention to the freighter below, please pay attention to the freighter below.

, we are the Chinese naval aviation force, please report the name of your ship, please report the name of your ship immediately."

I am really afraid of what will happen.

When Qian Shiming saw Teacher Xia looking over with a wry smile, he could only bite the bullet and reply: "We are the Chinese freighter Bin Xun. We are the Chinese freighter Bin Xun. We...we are organizing sea training for students. It's over."

"Why is your ship equipped with anti-aircraft guns?"

"The crew of our ship are both sailors and naval reserve officers and soldiers, and our ship is organizing maritime air defense training."

"Are you in the Navy Reserves?"
