The Gulf of Aden, located between Yemen and Somalia, belongs to the waters of the Arabian Sea, which is connected to the Red Sea in the north by the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and is named after the seaport of Aden in Yemen. The Gulf of Aden is www.biquge.info gateway between the Mediterranean Sea and the Indian Ocean, and is also an important waterway for oil from the Persian Gulf to Europe and North America.

Due to the rampant piracy in the area, the Gulf of Aden is also known as Pirate Alley.

The increasing number of hijackings of merchant ships has led governments to pay attention to these waters. Dozens of Chinese merchant ships pass through these waters every day, and in the past two years, there have been more than a dozen incidents of Chinese merchant ships being attacked and hijacked by pirates.

The multinational joint escort formation has existed for a long time, and the escort formation of the Chinese Navy has just taken shape.

After ten days of sailing, the first batch of three ships of the navy's escort formation arrived in the Gulf of Aden, how the escort formation communicated with the multinational joint escort formation and the escort formations of other countries, Li Mu did not know, for the past ten days, his task was to take the Seawolf special combat team to continue to conduct combat training on the ship, including higher-intensity physical training.

Any tactical action needs strong physical strength to support, otherwise it can only be a showmanship, and in this regard, the members of the Seawolf Special Combat Team have a particularly profound experience.

And about the small shop, there really is a small shop on the ship!!

When he saw the shop, Du Xiaofan couldn't wait to swallow his tongue. Looking at the price list again, yes, three months' salary is estimated to have to be thrown away. Life on the ship is very boring, and after the freshness of the first few days has passed, all that remains is boring. Therefore, there are more entertainment and leisure places and activities on the ship, and how can there be a lack of small shops that provide snacks.

After silently calculating the appetites of the brothers, Du Xiaofan did not have much hope for how much he could leave in those three months' salary.

The status of the Seawolf Special Operations Team is indeed somewhat special, the 052C destroyer they are on is the flagship of the formation, and the commander of the formation, Major General Fang, and his command and staff team are also on this warship. The platoon of the Marine Corps was placed on the Type 903 integrated supply ship, which had more space.

Relatively speaking, of course, it is comfortable to live on the integrated supply ship and has more space.

Yang Zhiyuan is the supreme person in charge of special operations in the escort formation, and he is fully responsible for all matters related to special operations, including external exchanges and communication and joint exercises.

When night fell, Yang Zhiyuan hurried to the intelligence support center, where the commander of the escort formation, Major General Fang, was already there, and the intelligence director was reporting something in a low voice.

Seeing Yang Zhiyuan come in, the intelligence director stopped reporting, Major General Fang stood up and walked to the front of the display screen, Yang Zhiyuan and the intelligence director both walked over and stood with him.

"Lao Yang, looking for you in such a hurry, there is a tricky matter. Rear Admiral Fang said in a deep voice, Yang Zhiyuan is the executive deputy director of the Navy Special Warfare Bureau in charge of training, and his position as chief of staff of the fleet is actually about the same in rank, and it is difficult to compare in terms of real power, after all, one is a subordinate department of the Navy Headquarters, and the other is the fleet headquarters.

Seeing that the intelligence director was there, Yang Zhiyuan roughly guessed what was going on.

Without Rear Admiral Fang's instructions, the intelligence director pointed to the satellite map on the display screen and said in a deep voice, "Here, one hundred and fifty kilometers away, there is a more important person who needs to be picked up on the ship." ”

No matter more, Yang Zhiyuan will not be told.

"What are the requirements?" Yang Zhiyuan looked at the map carefully, and was already thinking about the plan of action in his mind.

"Pick people up safely on board. Major General Fang said in a deep voice.

Yang Zhiyuan nodded and looked at the time, "When will you leave?"

"Let's go. The intelligence director said, handing a document to Yang Zhiyuan, "The rest are here." ”

Major General Fang said, "Keep it in your head." ”

Yang Zhiyuan slowly flipped it open, and after only reading it once, he returned it to the intelligence director, "Is there anything else I need to pay attention to?"

"Mainly to pick up people, you can't open fire unless you have to, I will mobilize all the intelligence resources of the formation to support you, but the formation can't leave here. Major General Fang said in a low voice.

Yang Zhiyuan nodded slowly but resolutely, "I'll set off immediately." ”

"Old Yang!" Major General Fang called out to Yang Zhiyuan, walked over, and saluted him, "I wish you all the best." ”

Yang Zhiyuan returned the salute and smiled, "I will bring people back safely." ”

Soon, the Seawolf Special Operations Team received an order to assemble urgently. Yang Zhiyuan made the combat dress code name, and the No. 2 dress was the night combat dress.

At this time, in the southwest direction of the escort formation, the sea and the sky are the same color, all of which are black with no edges or heads at all, and only by raising the head slightly can you see the stars, which can clearly distinguish the sky and the sea and see their boundaries clearly.

Except for the normal officers on duty, the rest of the ship rested, but just an hour after the lights were turned off, several more experienced combat staff officers, communications staff officers, and intelligence staff officers were called up and returned to their posts. The technicians of the weather prediction and analysis department are all on duty to closely monitor the changes in cloud cover within a radius of 300 kilometers in the sea area.

The more obvious change is in the hangar.

Ground crews are putting the finishing touches on the Ka-28 carrier-based helicopter, and the deputy regimental pilot and his lieutenant are scrambling to familiarize themselves with the weather conditions on the route and in the mission area.

In the passage, Yang Zhiyuan glanced at the members of the Sea Wolf Special Combat Team who were in front of him, thinking in his heart, without too much hesitation, he stretched out his hand and nodded the four team members, "Li Mu, Zhao Yiyun, Geng Shuai, Lin Yu, you are dispatched with me to carry out an urgent mission, Du Xiaofan and Shi Lei stay on standby." Let's go!"

Without any time for you to think about it, the six of them were divided into two groups, Li Mu and the four of them followed Yang Zhiyuan and ran quickly towards the flight deck, Du Xiaofan and Shi Lei were stunned for a long time and didn't come back to their senses, and they didn't feel angry when they came back to their senses.

The sea-to-sea search radar on the top of the ship's building rotates at a certain frequency, and without turning on the phased array radar, the destroyer can still use an anti-aircraft search radar, but the detection range is obviously not too far, and compared with the phased array radar, which is often three or four hundred kilometers away, the anti-air search radar is too far behind.

However, as it stands, it is sufficient.

The Ka-28 carrier-based helicopter was towed out of the hangar, and the flight deck at the stern of the ship was already ready for it. The rotors of the Ka-28 carrier-based helicopter turned and the engine started.

Yang Zhiyuan arrived with Li Mu and four people, and under the guidance of the ground staff, he directly got into the crew compartment of the Ka-28 carrier-based helicopter.

As the command tower flight control room gave the order to allow takeoff, the ground crew signaled that it was ready to take off, and the Ka-28 carrier-based helicopter roared into the air and left the mothership sideways......
