Countless officers and soldiers of the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police Force are still sticking to their positions, fighting on the front line of training and preparing for battle, loyally guarding the safety of thousands of families, and practicing the "battle position has a good position". We, the motherland and the people, please rest assured."

This issue of "Spring Festival We Are in War" tells their stories, so stay tuned.

　　—————————

　　February 6 is the sixth day of the first month of the Renyin year. The long Spring Festival holiday is coming to an end. The Yancheng ship of a destroyer detachment of the Navy in the Northern Theater Command has completed its combat readiness patrol mission and berthed at a military port in Qingdao for replenishment.

　　Near noon, the Yancheng Jian Restaurant was playing a cheerful Spring Festival music, and red paper lanterns and Chinese knots were hung everywhere, filled with the festive and peaceful atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.

In the passage, officers and soldiers lined up in long queues, chatting and laughing together waiting for the "New Year's Eve Dinner".

After the meal distribution table, the cooks dressed in neat cooking clothes, handed bowls, divided dishes, introduced dishes, and provided meticulous and thoughtful service to officers and soldiers.

　　At the beginning of the "New Year's Eve dinner", Zheng Wei, the air chief, picked up a drink and gathered all the staff together and said, "This period of time has been going to sea continuously, and the task has been completed very well. Everyone has worked hard! In the new year, I wish all brothers good health. , the work is going well, and I wish our department a more powerful New Year, new progress, and a higher level! Brothers, do one!" Then there were cheers.

　　Why is the New Year's Eve dinner a few days late?

It turned out that on January 26, the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, at 9 o'clock in the evening, the officers and soldiers were washing and preparing to go to bed.

Suddenly, a rush of sirens pierced the night sky, "Emergency preparations for war preparations"!

　　The ship, wearing the stars and wearing the moon, set sail overnight to perform missions in a certain sea area.

　　Taking into account the possible emergency pull, the Yancheng ship has already carried out some material loading in advance a few days ago.

However, some ingredients for the preparation of the New Year's Eve dinner have not yet arrived on the ship. It is planned to contact the terminal supply station on New Year's Eve and send some fresh ingredients such as seafood.

Now that the ship has left the port in an emergency, the return date of the mission has not yet been determined.

　　On January 28, the Yancheng ship successfully completed the stage task, and was ready to return to Hong Kong for a short rest and replenishment.

On the same day, the ship received a new order to go to a certain sea area to perform a combat readiness patrol mission.

The officers and soldiers have not washed their dust and embarked on a new journey.

　　When the New Year's bell rang, the Yancheng ship was cruising in a certain area of ​​the Yellow Sea. The officers and soldiers guarded the reunion of ten thousand families with blood and loyalty.

During the combat readiness cruise, the actual combat exercises on the ship started continuously, and the atmosphere of combat readiness came to my face.

　　"The more the festival is, the more we must strengthen the concept of combat readiness. For our ships patrolling the front line, the flavor of war is the flavor of the New Year." The leader of the ship mobilized through the whole ship's broadcast, "We should patrol the 'enemy' and keep the year for the country. The officers and men of the ship are very proud of this!"

　　Affected by the cold air, the sea surface was very windy for several days, waves more than 2 meters high rolled back and forth, and thousands of tons of warships swayed between the peaks and valleys.

　　The signal squad soldier of the communications department, Kosho, was in the cab, which had the widest field of vision and the most shaking.

After a few waves passed, Jiao Xiang's face turned pale, and his stomach turned upside down.

Jiaoxiang is a native of Yunnan and just joined the army last year. This is his first time out to sea.

In the wind and waves, Jiao Xiang endured the discomfort and stared at the sea.

"The situation at sea is complicated and changeable, and we cannot take it lightly! Only if we are on duty well, can the people have a good New Year!" he said.

　　The first sergeant major and main engine technician Li Weibo's battle position is in the "heart" of the ship - the lowest cabin.

When the sea was high and the waves were rough, he was in the small space of the engine room, carefully checking the equipment with a flashlight, probing with his hands from time to time, and approaching the machine to listen to the sound of the equipment turning.

"The main engine is the core equipment of the whole ship's power. It must be inspected regularly, and problems found should be eliminated in time to ensure the safe navigation of the ship."

　　Came to the war room, at this time a sea attack drill was going on.

"Azimuth 030, found the target on the sea surface!" In the combat command room, the voice of the password report came one after another, and the sound of the keyboard tapping was heard incessantly.

The officers and soldiers of each battle position operated accurately and closely coordinated, tactical drawing, binding meteorological parameters, and measuring target elements... A series of operations began immediately.

"Fire!" Following the command to Seamaster Song Pengfei, the main gun trumpeter immediately pressed the firing button.

Subsequently, the radar showed that the "target" echo disappeared.

　　The "dangerous situation" on the sea surface just dissipated, and the "air threat" came quietly.

"Azimuth 325, I found that an unknown target in the air was approaching me." From the radar screen, a bright spot was approaching the ship at high speed. After analysis and comparison, it was determined that the target was an "enemy aircraft".

The secondary artillery organized an independent fight, made a decisive decision, and the relevant staff moved in one go, successfully intercepting the "enemy" target.

　　For many consecutive days, the officers and soldiers worked in three shifts and continuously rotated, always maintaining a high alert state.

Until noon on the fourth day of the first lunar month on February 4, the Yancheng ship successfully completed its mission and returned as planned.

　　After receiving the notice of returning to the voyage, the cooking squad leader Wang Zunli contacted the supply station as soon as possible to order fresh ingredients. At the same time, according to the return flight plan, he formulated the latest recipes and planned to make up for a New Year's meal for the officers and soldiers.

　　After the ship docked at the port, the dock supply station sent a dazzling array of supplies, including staple food, fruits, and various New Year's goods.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the cooking class started to get busy early in the morning.

At 12:00 noon, the sumptuous "New Year's Eve Dinner" was prepared, and the officers and soldiers enjoyed the sumptuous delicacies and felt the strong taste of the New Year.

　　"Mom, our New Year's Eve dinner is very rich! The ship is like a big family, everything is fine, don't worry!" Yan Zexiao, the helmsman of the Yancheng Ship Navigation Department, opened the video to share the belated New Year's celebration with his mother.
