The fewer words, the bigger the matter!On December 9, the Chinese Coast Guard released an official announcement that the Chinese Coast Guard had implemented control measures in accordance with the law against three Philippine Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (FEA) vessels that had intruded into the waters adjacent to Scarborough Shoal in the Nansha Islands. This is also the first time in recent years that the Chinese Coast Guard has carried out compulsory enforcement against illegal Philippine vessels in the waters off Scarborough Shoal.
Subsequently, the Philippine side admitted that on December 9, three Philippine official ships were at a distance of 1At a position of 5 2 nautical miles, it was sprayed by the water cannon of the Chinese coast guard ship, and the powerful water cannon spray first destroyed the navigation radar of the Philippine fishery administration ship, and then the superstructure of the Philippine ship was destroyed by water cannons, causing serious damage to the communication and navigation equipment of the Philippine fishery administration ship.
In addition, the Chinese side also used a long-range directional sonic dispersion device, commonly known as a "sonic cannon", on the Philippine fishery administration vessel, which "crazy" the Filipino crew members with powerful noise, causing some Filipino crew members to suffer serious physical discomfort and disability. The China Coast Guard also released small rigid inflatable boats to drive away Filipino fishing boats that were waiting for fuel subsidies and food** to be issued by Philippine fishery administration vessels.
Subsequently, the Chinese Coast Guard installed a floating barrier at the southeast entrance to Scarborough Shoal, prohibiting Filipino fishing vessels from fishing.
China's new coast guard ships in recent years are equipped with some self-defense, which is more effective for strengthening maritime law enforcement. Including 37 mm and 76 mm naval guns, in addition to a number of light **.
However, in order to avoid the "hot" exchange of fire between naval guns and the escalation of conflicts, the China Coast Guard mostly uses non-lethal law enforcement equipment such as high-pressure water cannons and noise dispersal devices in its law enforcement operations. When an enemy ship is sprayed with a water cannon, it is like a heavy blow, and the ship's superstructure and facilities will be destroyed by the water cannon.
The CCG is usually equipped with two water cannon systems with a range of 100 to 150 metres, and the barrels of the water cannons can rotate 360 degrees, allowing the crew to operate them remotely from the wheelhouse. In addition, coast guard ships are also generally equipped with a new type of high-noise equipment - long-range directional sound wave dispersion device, which can amplify noise to 160 decibels (the limit of human hearing is 100 decibels), and can be "bombed" with sound waves at a distance of 3 kilometers.
Long-range directional acoustic wave dispersion**, which is the abbreviation of LRAD (Long Range Acoustic Device) in English, is a non-lethal technology developed by using sound wave focusing technology in recent years.
The human body is very sensitive to the perception of external sounds, 20 decibels of sound is equivalent to two people talking, when the surrounding sound intensity reaches 50 decibels, it will interfere with our daily life, will make it difficult for people to fall asleep or work normally, this is noise. When the noise exceeds 100 decibels, it will make the human hearing impaired, unbearable, irritable, short-tempered, distracted, inattentive, and can temporarily cause deafness in a few minutes.
Directional sound wave dispersion** can focus 150 decibels of noise, and at an angle of 15 or 30 degrees directional projection to the target area tens of meters or even hundreds of meters away, which is equivalent to putting a person under the turbofan engine of a jet airliner, and the high-power noise makes the enemy 100 meters away painful and incapacitated, and can make the forced personnel incapacitated immediately.
Sonic waves** have been widely used in various countries. The sonic cannon above is quite Soviet, which is a Russian composite laser sonic anti-riot system, through a 150 decibel directional sonic transmitter (which is equivalent to a firecracker exploding in the ear) and an output energy of 4The sustained action of a dazzling blinding laser of 3 joules is capable of paralyzing the central nervous system of rioters 100 meters away for more than 3 minutes, controlling or dispersing dangerous people.
Directional sound waves drive away the high decibel sound waves with strong directionality, so they will not affect the surrounding environment and users due to strong noise. The sound propagation distance of the traditional tweeter is about 50 meters, while the propagation distance of directional sound wave dispersion is hundreds of meters, and the action distance of high-power directional sound wave dispersion can even reach 3 kilometers to 9 kilometers. In addition, this kind of ** can also meet the purpose of long-distance communication, broadcasting, inter-ship shouting, alarm, etc.
According to the latest satellites**, in addition to the strict enforcement of the law by Chinese coast guard vessels in relevant waters, the Chinese navy is currently the strongest pillar of maintaining peace and stability in the South China Sea, and the Chinese navy has assembled what may be the largest naval formation in recent years in the direction of Mischief Reef and Ren'ai Jiao.
The ships that can be confirmed are 1 Type 052D missile destroyer, 1 Type 052C missile destroyer, 1 Type 053H3 missile frigate, 1 Type 056A missile frigate, 1 Type 072 tank landing ship, and 2 Type 022 high-speed missile boats. In the event of a sudden naval conflict, these ships could destroy the Philippine Navy eight times.
China's deployment of naval forces at Mischief Reef and Second Thomas Shoal is mainly due to the constant provocative actions of the United States and the Philippines, and the Philippines has not only sent coast guard and civilian vessels to disrupt the situation, but has even demonstrated its "powerful" naval power at Second Thomas Shoal and Scarborough Shoal. Therefore, the Chinese navy has deployed stronger maritime forces in this direction in order to prevent problems before they occur.
In the past 20 or 30 years of modern border and coastal defense conflicts, there have been frequent cases of misfire, so we are required to respond quickly, fight back on the spot in the face of conflicts, and then sit down again to negotiate or discuss the restraint of force. The most typical example is the Sino-Indian conflict in the Galwan Valley in 2020. The 81st Brigade of the 3rd Infantry Division of the Indian Army, with more than 600 people participating in the battle on the front line, suddenly provoked and attacked our side, and was defeated by our army's cold weapons in one fell swoop. Dozens of Indian troops were killed and hundreds more wounded, 20% of a brigade's. This is equivalent to the defeat of a brigade of the Indian army by a border battalion of our army.
Modern armed conflict theory has an argument that if two countries, in the absence of a war, an occasional skirmish, are unlikely to escalate into a fierce local war, so the speed of response to the conflict is critical, and if it suffers a loss at the first time, it will suffer forever. If you defeat the enemy at the first time, you will always have the upper hand. This requires our border and coastal defense forces to have a strong and rapid force response capability.
