Xisha Garrison
Speaking of the Xisha Islands , this is one of the South China Sea Islands in my country that is far away from the mainland and has a very wide spread. It is currently under the jurisdiction of Xisha District, Sansha City, Hainan Province. In the last century, three islands in the Paracel Islands were successively occupied by the South Vietnamese regime. Until the Paracel naval battle broke out on January 19-20, 1974, the Chinese navy attacked bravely and won the victory to regain the three islands (Coral Island, Coral Island, Ganquan Island and Treasure Island ). After the war, in order to firmly guard the Paracel Islands, the Navy's South China Sea Fleet specially formed a Paracel garrison to station on each of the larger islands. To this day, the South China Sea Fleet's Xisha garrison still adheres to the Xisha coastal defense line. Today, the Paracel Islands not only have fighter jets of the Chinese naval aviation force stationed there, but also have careful deployment of 056 light frigates, Chinese missile boats, Chinese shore-to-ship missiles, and air defense forces. It can be described as an "iron wall."
Armed Police Sansha Squadron
However, Don’t take it for granted that only naval forces are stationed in the Paracel Islands. In fact, there are two special military presences in the Paracel Islands: Armed Police Sansha Squadron (the southernmost armed police force stationed there ) and the Army's 2,700-ton transport ship (GY280 comprehensive support ship). Seeing this, many netizens are probably curious: 1. Why does the vast South China Sea require army transport ships to join in the fun? Are the South China Sea Fleet's supply ships and transport ships enough? 2. The Paracel Islands have a permanent population of only a few thousand people, and the islands are inhabited by naval forces. Public security and order must be very good. Why do they need armed police forces to go to the islands to perform their tasks? In fact, everyone's ideas are reasonable, but practical needs determine that it is necessary for the armed police and army large transport ships to exist in the Paracel Islands.
Armed Police Sansha Squadron
First of all, let’s talk about the significance of Armed Police Sansha Squadron. Perhaps the armed police really don't have much "use" in preventing riots and maintaining stability in the Paracel Islands, but their political role and disaster relief role are huge. As we all know, on July 24, 2012, my country's latest prefecture-level city, and also the largest prefecture-level city: Sansha City, was established on Yongxing Island in Xisha. This move further declared that my country has unlimited rights to the South China Sea. Controversy of sovereignty and management functions. Referring to inland areas, prefecture-level cities have at least one armed police detachment stationed there. However, due to the special market conditions in Sansha City, it is enough to station one armed police squadron .
Armed Police Sansha Squadron
In August 2013, the Armed Police Sansha Squadron was stationed in Yongxing Island, Sansha City, responsible for the security protection of the Sansha Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, armed patrols on the island, wind resistance, emergency response, and raising and lowering the national flag. Wait for the task. Therefore, the Sansha Squadron of the Armed Police Force is stationed on Yongxing Island in the Xisha Islands as the Armed Police Internal Security Force , which once again fully confirms the fact that the South China Sea is our country, and in fact it itself is a symbol of sovereignty.
GY280 comprehensive support ship
Speaking of the GY280 comprehensive support ship deployed by the Army in the South China Sea, the ship is affiliated to the Sansha Garrison District of Hainan Province (listed in November 2015), with a maximum displacement of 2,700 tons, and is currently in active service with the Army. The largest displacement ship. Since its main responsibility is to undertake the tasks of material supply, personnel and equipment transportation, and maritime rescue in the direction of Sansha in the South China Sea, the GY280 comprehensive support ship has specially designed the expansion and modernization of oil tanks, water tanks, ammunition tanks, and living quarters. ; In addition, there is a helicopter landing deck at the stern of the ship to facilitate air transportation and connection.
GY820 Integrated Support Ship
GY820 Integrated Support Ship is a new type of army ship developed by China to mainly meet the needs of the Army's activities in the South China Sea. It is significantly different from naval ships in terms of tasks and performance. After all, the Army and the Navy are two branches of the military. It would be okay to jointly operate and cooperate with each other during wartime; but in daily operations in the South China Sea, it would be a bit unreasonable for the Army to always "trouble" the Navy, so Sansha Security Only in the district will a large transport ship be specially installed.
