2009 年 8 21, when covered Zheng Chen’s “Weishan Lake” slow ship slow stop Zhanjiang military port, the same captain seats covered Zheng Chen Jun and his comrades are still flying passion.

239 days ago, It is with emotion and passion, and together they drove the latest domestic supply ship, starting from the Sanya naval base went over 4000 sea miles outside the Gulf of Aden, off the Somali coast to escort mission execution .

239 days, they complete 56 approved 75 ship 20,000 tons of materials sub-supply mission is “Weishan Lake” supply ship serving five years the total of two times, creating one of China’s navy series of new records: the first continuous high-intensity far away from the shore-based organization to protect the unfamiliar waters, relying on foreign ports for the first time a large-scale commercial supply, the first attempt to rely on large-scale material supplies merchant incidentally, for the first time in the ocean to carry out surgery and Local emergency crews to the motherland and the people … … a good hand of the respondents, was hailed as the Gulf of Aden to escort men on the “life boat.”

Gulf of Aden, leaving them to fulfill their mission of glorious track.

every successful exploration, the Chinese Navy to “Deep Blue” step forward

2009 年 2 21, in the “micro-Lake” ship successfully docked at the port of Aden in Yemen, for three days and two nights to complete the commercial model in accordance with several thousand tons of oil supplies, fresh water and the main non-staple food task, I still do not fly Jun bottom of my heart.

the same three days and two nights in December 26, 2008 before departure, “Weishan Lake” ship was loaded over 10,000 tons of supplies, but for the Chinese Navy commissioned by the local agent of COSCO Group, the specific procurement, packaging, transportation of materials, whether provided by the Hong Kong deadlines supply, which includes “Weishan Lake”, including Chinese naval ships have never encountered problems.

hard, going to try. Port can not directly raise freshwater, the soldiers will be taken one by one barrel of fresh water to the ship; fresh vegetables in Baitian Lie-day exposure will soon be under dehydration, the soldiers will adjust to the night carrying vegetables; Arabic script materials marked effect classification of storage, the soldiers on the material affixed to each one a Chinese mark … … a problem, the efforts of the officers and men resolved, “Weishan Lake” ship was finally completed before departure materials supply.

foreign ports commercial success of the practice patterns of supply, the protection of materials to solve a common problem, but accessories as well as domestic vessels and equipment in the Islamic countries can not supply the materials, still haunt fleet escort.

“Weishan Lake” ship Rong, deputy political commissar of the group recalls that COSCO “Wan and” escort wheel condolences to the officers and men from domestic incidentally 2,000 kg of vegetables, so that “Weishan Lake” crew found a crack this problem solution.

“officers and men eat fresh vegetables, the excitement when we were inspired, why not let the Chinese sailing the Gulf of Aden merchant incidentally supplies much-needed supplies?” Rong group Sayion.

soon, COSCO “Taicang ’round to escort fleet sent more than 20 tonnes of vegetables and much-needed medicines, spare parts. Relying on the material supply merchant incidentally, has become China’s naval escort from ocean-going fleet logistics support normal mode.

“Weishan Lake” ship fuel squad leader Xu Liping aviation sector did not expect, he and fellow-ship operations aviation kerosene supply, even the Chinese navy to fill a technology gap.

aviation kerosene burning low volatile, it will spark an explosion hit, which supplies high security requirements, after “Weishan Lake” ship ship ship-borne helicopters only flew in the battle when the ship, through a dedicated pipeline filling.

11 years has been engaged in supply of aviation kerosene Xu Liping know, helicopter landing frequent refueling, is not only a waste of fuel, and increased flight risk. They repeated the equipment based on the bold argument put forward: “to carry out ship jet fuel supply.”

2 18, this idea became a reality. “Weishan Lake” ship success of “Wuhan” ship, “sea” ships to implement a jet fuel supply, and also created a new record for the Chinese navy.

5 days 4 nights, Zou Hua and electromechanical class comrades With superb technology, literally two separate parts will be connected magically become a guide bar, and a one-time test equipment successfully.

“for a long time at sea, especially in the Gulf of Aden waters of high temperature, high salt, high humidity environment, equipment and logistical support for ships, is undoubtedly a huge challenge.” “Weishan Lake” ship Xiaoxin Bin, head protection equipment that perform the escort mission 239 days, “Weishan Lake” 116-ship total to troubleshoot.

Xiaoxin Bin impressed me most is that starting from May 13, “Weishan Lake” four air-conditioned ship in three successive failures, and operation of two motor driven air-conditioning in a stopped working.

“the situation was very serious and if the first 4 sets of air-conditioning is broken again, even if the officers and men can live fifty or sixty degrees Celsius heat the cabin, the ship’s electronic equipment and also carry live ammunition. “Xiaoxin Bin said.

repair, day and night to repair. Xiaoxin Bin and technical staff together, removed two large air-conditioning parts failure, an emergency assembly of an air conditioner, make sure the ship always has an air conditioner spare. At the same time, they coordinate domestic transportation from China to the merchant a new motor. 1.5 ton motor in the past, dock cranes hanging from the ship to the cabin roof, but this time, the soldiers hold the motor and body with both hands, step one stop to move the 4 floors, installed air-conditioning unit compartment .

the same test, and 10 times the supply under the large waves sailing, there are 25 separate batches to escort merchant ships, as well as for three five crew members of merchant emergency treatment … …

4 27, sailing in the Red Sea “Zhenhua 4″ call the Second Fleet escort: Hu Jianhua, the crew felt dizzy, so weak, can not eat for several days already, request escort fleet for emergency treatment.

“was H1N1 influenza is spreading around the world, we started a bit worried.” “Weishan Lake” ship captain Huang Wensheng said health care, but worried about the safety of compatriots in everyone’s heart, the final decision still board treatment.

4 30, “Zhenhua 4″ arrival in the Strait of Bab el East Side, “Weishan Lake” ship three emergency medical personnel on board, the successful treatment of the disease was diagnosed later the ear of the Hu Jianhua vertigo. Navy medical leave when the 30-year-old Hu Jianhua said emotionally: “I thank the Navy doctor to give me treatment! In the most dangerous time of my life, is that you gave me strength.”

Every men and their families for escort quiet dedication

Cai Yu is “Weishan Lake” ship’s rigging soldiers, his task is to toss the lead rope cable gun to fill the ship by launch. The first part of this supply appears to be simple work, but because the throw rope gun recoil large, likely to cause hand bone injuries.

When the doctor told him “to be patient surgery, or may be disabled”, the fellow who was hailed as the “‘Weishanhu’ first shot,” the young man senseless. In his hard, “entanglement”, the doctor signed a report in the treatment of “can participate in convoy, but can not be used within one month of gun cable throw.”
