An amphibious armored detachment of China's 74th Army Group, together with a navy landing ship of the Chinese People's Liberation Army (PLA), has conducted a day-and-night multi-course training in unfamiliar waters to enhance the force's at-sea combat capability.
Various types of military cars, including amphibious armored assault vehicles and infantry combat vehicles, formed a tactical formation during the voyage and maneuvered to the target sea area several kilometers away.
Upon arrival in the exercise waters, the soldiers immediately started daytime and nighttime training on embarking and disembarking the landing ship.
Getting on and off the landing ship is an important link for an amphibious force to deliver troops and materials between ship and shore under combat conditions, which is difficult and challenging due to the winds and wave undulations on the sea. With the close cooperation of the instructors and crew members, the soldiers successfully drove the amphibious vehicle quickly into the landing ship and fixed them in the cabin.
The nighttime training was more complicated for the armored vehicle drivers because of reduced visibility. They constantly adjusted and corrected the course of the vehicles according to instructions, and managed to complete the task under the complex sea conditions.
