◆ Yongshujiao Station Building
Islands in the South China Sea, including dongsha islands, Xisha Islands, zhongsha islands and Nansha Islands, are sacred territory of China in history and reality. Nansha Islands, called "Wanli Stone Pond" in ancient times and "Prattley Islands" in western countries, has 230 islands, sandbars and reefs. Nansha Islands is about 1000 nautical mile from Chinese mainland. It is located in the throat of maritime traffic from the Indian Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and has an extremely important strategic position. Especially after the discovery of extremely rich submarine oil and natural gas resources in the South China Sea in the 1980s, it aroused the envy of neighboring countries and seized many islands and reefs in Nansha.
1987 In February, UNESCO adopted the global sea level survey plan and decided to establish 200 ocean observation stations around the world. China is responsible for the construction of five buildings, including 1 in Xisha and Nansha. China decided to take advantage of the favorable opportunity of establishing an ocean observation station in Nansha to properly enter Nansha and maintain its dominant position. The China government decided to send a naval fleet to cruise the Nansha Islands. 198865438+1October 2 1 day, our naval formation with the South China Sea Fleet frigate No.552 ("Yibin") as the flagship arrived in Nansha Islands. After investigation, Yongshu Reef in Nansha Islands was finally selected as the site of No.74 Ocean Observatory.
1988 65438+1October 3 1 552 sent seven officers and men to board Yongzheng Reef in a small boat, raising the five-star red flag on Yongzheng Reef for the first time, which was also the first time that the five-star red flag flew over Nansha Islands. After the Vietnamese authorities found out that I had set up an ocean observation station in Nansha, they tried to obstruct my plan to set up the station. On June 365438+1October 3 1 day, the Vietnamese army sent two armed transport ships in an attempt to compete with me for Yongshu Reef. Our naval fleet, which was on alert in the waters near Yongshu Reef, quickly set sail to intercept, forcing the Vietnamese army to give up its attempt to compete for Yongshu Reef.
◆ Chigua Reef Competition
After the Vietnamese army failed in its attempt to capture Yongshu Reef, it turned its attention to Chigua Reef, Guishou Reef and Qiongjiao, which have not been controlled by China Navy. In order to curb the increasingly rampant reef grabbing in Vietnam, our navy decided to send more troops to Nansha. On February 22 nd and March 5 th, our navy ships 502 and 53 1 arrived one after another. So far, in the waters near Yongshu Reef, our navy has concentrated 15 combat vessels, including destroyers and frigates, with equal strength.
On the afternoon of March 13, my frigate No.502 ("Nanchong") organized personnel to board Chigua Reef. Soon, the radar of Ship 502 found that three Vietnamese ships were coming to Chigua Reef. In the evening, the Vietnamese armed transport ship No.604 was anchored at Chigua Reef, the transport ship No.605 was anchored at Qiongjiao in the northeast of Chigua Reef, and the landing ship No.505 was anchored at Guijiao Reef in the northwest of Chigua Reef. The Vietnamese army tried very hard. The 502 ship decisively decided to ensure the Chigua Reef first, confront the Vietnamese army, and wait for the follow-up ships to arrive.
The next day, our navy frigates No.531("yingtan") and No.556 ("Xiangtan") rushed to Chigua Reef, No.556 guarded the direction of Qiongjiao, and No.531joined No.502 to defend Chigua Reef with all their strength. At this time, Vietnam's No.604 armed transport ship sent personnel to Chigua Reef. By 7: 30, the Vietnamese army had 43 personnel on the reef and planted two Vietnamese flags on the north side of the reef. Our maritime command post decided not to give in, but at the same time, we should try our best to avoid bloodshed, never use force first, and adopt the policy of "arming the Vietnamese army." According to this policy, my 502 boat immediately pulled out 33 people, and my 53l boat pulled out 25 people to board the Chigua Reef, bringing the number of people boarding the reef to 58.
On the Chigua Reef, which is only about 200 meters wide from east to west, the two sides stood in a line with their guns facing each other, forming a confrontation. In this almost suffocating atmosphere, a Vietnamese soldier planted a Vietnamese flag on the coral reef in front of our officers and men, and sailor Du Hou Xiang pulled it down. A Vietnamese army immediately took aim at it, and his comrade Yang Zhiliang came forward to cover it. Our officers and men stationed on the reef immediately fought back, and the soldiers quickly retreated according to the predetermined plan and distanced themselves from the Vietnamese army so that the naval guns could move forward.
◆ Blue sea raises military strength.
As soon as the gunfire rang on Chigua Reef, Vietnamese armed transport ship No.604 immediately fired at the personnel on the reef and No.502 ship with anti-aircraft machine guns, and the helmet on the head of the soldier Gao Yihai of No.502 ship was hit by machine gun bullets-exactly 8: 47 am 10 second.
"counterattack!" With the command of General Chen Weiwen, the commander at sea, the first shell fired by No.502 main gun before 100 mm accurately hit the Vietnamese air defense machine gun! At this time, it was only two minutes before the Vietnamese army fired, and the combat response time of brave naval officers and soldiers was shorter than the excellent time stipulated in the code!
Then, the artillery fire of the No.502 ship fell on the No.604 ship of the Vietnamese army one after another, destroying the rocket launcher and the quadruple air defense machine gun. Four minutes later, a raging fire broke out and began to sink. Nine minutes later, Jun 604 sank to the bottom of the sea. The Vietnamese soldiers on Chigua Reef lost their retreat and had to surrender. The soldiers who boarded the reef immediately stopped fighting back. 10: 50, all the officers and men of Chigua Reef took the prisoners back to the ship.
After the naval battle near Chigua Reef began, the Vietnamese landing ship No.505, located in Guitoujiao, a nautical mile northwest of Chigua Reef, also opened fire on my ship No.531,and my maritime command post immediately ordered the ship No.531to resolutely fight back. 53 1 Ship quickly took advantage of speed to seize the favorable attack position, and then counterattacked with naval gun fire. It is difficult for Vietnam 505 ship to confront our 53 1 ship. Soon, the landing ship 505 was hit by many shells of 53 1 ship, and the whole ship caught fire and smoke billowed, so we had to hang a white flag to call the ghost reef stranded. Later, the ship burned on the ghost reef for five days. What makes people feel a little different, however, is that the No.505 ship was originally1March, 1974, and China provided free aid to Vietnam. The words "South China Sea Fleet of the Chinese People's Navy" were impressively written on the tables, chairs, equipment and even tea cups on board. In the Qiongjiao waters five nautical miles northeast of Chigua Reef, our navy's 556 ship also launched a battle with the Vietnamese armed transport ship 605. 15 At 9 o'clock, the 556 ship arrived in Qiongjiao waters, and found that the Vietnamese 605 ship had sent nine people to Qiongjiao, and the 556 ship immediately warned it to leave with a tweeter. Unexpectedly, the Vietnamese army not only refused to withdraw its personnel, but overreached itself to shoot at the 556 ship with naval guns, and the 556 ship immediately fired back. Intensive and precise artillery fire immediately collapsed the bridge of the 605 ship. -At 9: 37, the No.556 ship stopped shooting, and the seriously injured No.605 ship struggled until dark, but it was still doomed to die in the sea.
From 8: 48: 502 to 9: 37: 556, the whole sea battle lasted only 48 minutes. Our navy's three frigates * * * consumed 285 rounds of 100 mm artillery shells and 266 rounds of 37 mm artillery shells, and won the victory of sinking two Vietnamese ships, hitting L ships hard, killing more than 60 enemy soldiers and capturing more than 40 enemy soldiers below lieutenant colonel at a relatively small cost. In this clean naval battle, the Chinese People's Navy has always controlled the rhythm and initiative of the naval battle, dealt a heavy blow to the invasion of the Vietnamese army and showed the world the power of the Chinese People's Navy to resolutely defend the sovereignty of the motherland.
◆ No ending.
After the naval battle, in order to prevent the Vietnamese army from retaliating with air power, Chen Weiwen, commander of the maritime formation, ordered all ships, especially the 53 1 ship equipped with new anti-aircraft missiles, to strengthen air defense readiness, but the Vietnamese army was shocked by the powerful combat effectiveness of our navy and did not take any counterattack measures. The participating ships successfully sailed back to Hainan Island base for rest. That night, the Central Military Commission issued a circular, praising the naval fleet for adhering to the principle of self-defense, strictly observing battlefield discipline, and exerting national prestige.
After this war, Vietnamese ships in Nansha waters fled at the wind, and the shock of the victory of "3. 14" naval battle can be seen. Since then, the construction of Yongshu Reef Ocean Observatory was successfully completed on August 1988 without any interference. With the victory of the naval battle, China Navy subsequently recovered three islands and reefs, namely Dongmen, Nanxun and Zhubi, and controlled six islands and reefs in Nansha Islands, which gave our navy a foothold in Nansha.
Although until the middle of the 20th century, no country ever questioned China's sovereignty over Nansha. It was not until the 1970s that the Philippines, Vietnam, Malaysia and Brunei claimed sovereignty over all or part of Nansha Island (Vietnam also recognized Nansha as China before 1975) and sent troops to occupy some islands and reefs. In the face of the complicated Nansha dispute, China has always taken a self-restraint attitude. Since 1990, the policy of "shelving disputes and jointly developing" has been formally put forward. This is not because China's national strength is inferior to that of other countries in dispute, but because domestic construction needs a peaceful surrounding environment and friendly and cooperative neighboring relations. Therefore, we should ease tensions, avoid contradictions and conflicts, shelve disputes, develop together, and further strengthen economic cooperation between the disputing parties. With the strengthening of economic cooperation and the deepening of mutual understanding among these countries, I believe that the Nansha issue will be properly resolved, which will not only safeguard China's sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, but also affect the prosperity and stability of Southeast Asia as a whole. Zhou Ming is specially written by this magazine.
In the early 1990s, all foreign naval officers and men visiting China participated in our 502 Meritorious Ship.
In the battle of Chigua Reef, many landing ships of the Vietnamese army were completely passive because of their slow speed and weak firepower of fixed weapons. According to the soldiers captured by the Vietnamese army after the war, at that time, the Vietnamese army executives thought that they could seize Nansha Reef through gradual encroachment and small-scale friction, but they never expected to fight with our fleet. Strangely, however, the No.505 ship that the Vietnamese army participated in the war turned out to be China's free aid to Vietnam 1974. Many of the equipment on the fleet are impressively marked with the words "South China Sea Fleet of the Chinese People's Navy".

The Yongshu Reef Observatory, flying with a five-star red flag, has now become an important base for China to declare its sovereignty in Nansha.
After the victory of "3. 14" naval battle, the construction project of Yongshu Reef Ocean Observatory was successfully completed in August of 1988 without any interference. With the victory of the naval battle, China Navy subsequently recovered three islands and reefs, namely Dongmen, Nanxun and Zhubi, and controlled six islands and reefs in Nansha Islands, which gave our navy a foothold in Nansha.
