Yemeni Evacuation Operation "Red Sea Operation" prototype revealed (II).
A total of 124 Chinese citizens successfully boarded the ship in just 39 minutes, with an average time of 18 seconds per person. After 81 minutes of intense and thrilling action, they arrived in Djibouti under the protection of 4 snipers.
All 571 Chinese citizens have been evacuated from Yemen, and our diplomats are staying in war-torn Yemen to ensure the safety of their citizens. Although the evacuation has begun, they have not withdrawn.
This is different from the plot in the movie "Operation Red Sea", where the ambassador in reality will not easily leave the command post in the face of war. Ma Jizhong was given a new task to lead the evacuation of citizens from other countries who were stranded in Yemen.
On April 2, the Linyi ship entered the port of Aden again, and Ma Jizhong led 225 foreign citizens from Pakistan, Yemen, India, Singapore, Italy, Germany, Poland, the United Kingdom, Canada, Belgium, Egypt, Japan and other countries to assemble at the dock.
Since their country was unable to take them back, countries have made requests to our country in the hope of receiving help. At this moment, the port of Aden has fallen into a war zone, standing on the deck of the Linyi ship, you can see the collapsed houses in the distance and the smoke rising from the back.
However, the foreign citizens waiting for security on the dock were already in tears, and they raised their hands and shouted: "ilove China!" ”
The wind knows the grass, and the board knows the Chengchen. "This is a classic emergency evacuation operation, and it is also an important test of the actual combat capability of the Chinese Navy. Under the escort of the Linyi ship, hundreds of expatriates were evacuated safely, and the scene was shocking.
* At 20 meters from the bow of the ship, a crane was strafed by tank machine gun fire and several grenades hit the crane. The heavily armed Jiaolong team members and sailors quickly dispatched, loaded guns and live ammunition at the dock to be on safe guard, and took off into combat duty, ready to deal with various emergencies at any time.
It's all exactly the same as in Operation Red Sea. However, Captain Gauck did not let his guard down, and he ordered the evacuation to be accelerated. Soon, all the expatriates from various countries boarded the ship, and the Linyi ship put away the gangway and quickly left the dock.
During several evacuation operations, the Navy prepared a sumptuous dinner for the expatriates: six dishes and one soup - braised beef, sauerkraut vermicelli, mushu pork, potato chips and fried green peppers, various meat skewers, squid rings and seaweed egg drop soup, and the staple food was dumplings, flower rolls, steamed buns, rice, and Tsingtao beer.
The standard configuration of the 054A frigate is 200 people, and hundreds of expatriates are picked up every time, and food and accommodation are definitely not enough, and the fleet has not been supplied for a long time at that time, so the officers and men of the Navy give priority to the food left to the expatriates, and they eat combat rations and pickles.
The Weifang ship picked up 455 people, and hundreds of expatriates were divided into 9 waves to eat. The nine cooks on board worked for nine hours in a row. In the end, the wrists of the chopping vegetables were swollen, and when it was their turn to eat by themselves, their hands were so weak that they could no longer hold the chopsticks.
In order to relieve everyone's mental pressure and get enough rest, the officers and men on the ship gave up their beds to the expatriates one after another, and went to the corridor to make bunks on the floor. This action by the Chinese Navy once again demonstrates China's responsibility and courage as a major country.
With their practical actions, they have proved that China can take swift and decisive action to protect people's lives and safety in the face of emergencies.
The Linyi ship carried the personnel of the Chinese embassy safely and also carried 45 Sri Lankan citizens. In this evacuation of Yemeni nationals, China assisted in the evacuation of 279 citizens from 15 countries.
When many foreigners boarded the ship, they gave a thumbs up to our people's soldiers and said "good good!" in a loud voice. "Until they returned to their own countries, they were still holding the Chinese flag tightly in their hands, and the Pakistani ambassador said with tears when he called Ambassador Tian Qi: This operation once again proves that China and Pakistan are all-weather strategic cooperative partners, and the Chinese people are the relatives of the Pakistani people.
A Sri Lankan named Budicka said: "I will remember that moment for the rest of my life, and there are no words to express my gratitude to China!" "After the successful evacuation of China, the United States openly admitted that it could not help its citizens in Yemen leave the country.
For the spirit of great power responsibility and internationalism embodied in our evacuation of overseas Chinese in Yemen, netizens from all countries outside the wall expressed their gratitude to China and admiration for the People's Liberation Army from the bottom of their hearts, and the countries that have always liked yin and yang are also convinced this time and have sent words of praise to China.
In this Yemeni evacuation operation, which is of global concern, the Chinese have been gone for 12 days and nights when other countries have completed their evacuation missions. After the mission, Huang Ping, then director of the Consular Department, expressed the classic sentence to **: "The gold content of the Chinese passport is not only reflected in the number of countries that can be exempted from visas, but also in the face of danger, the motherland can bring you home safely." ”
