The Unlucky Smuggler Ship
On July 21, 2009, Wang Wenbao, the captain of the 828 boat of the ** customs, led all 26 crew members to hide on an uninhabited island near Yushan Archipelago under the scorching sun according to the arrangement of the customs leader. They were staring at the smuggling ship that was not moving forward near the sea route, waiting for the other party to take action. According to the usual practice, smuggling activities were usually carried out at night under the cover of darkness. Therefore, during the day, other than the surveillance personnel on the boat, the other team members went to rest. At present, the sea area he was in was close to the border of Taizhou customs, which was often said to be the joint jurisdiction of both sides. If the smuggling ship ran more than ten miles in the direction of Taizhou, that place would not be under his jurisdiction. Then, his trip would be in vain! Captain Wang was very anxious now. It had been four days and four nights since he led the anti-smuggling ship out. The smuggling ship had been wandering back and forth on the sea route, often pretending to be a normal transport and disappearing. If it weren't for the radar lock and the informant's report, and if the ship had long exposed its abnormality during the operation, it would have really slipped away. Of course, based on past experience, the more he had to stay calm at such a time. There was no other way at the moment. Only patience was the only correct choice. He didn't believe that there was a cat in the world that didn't eat fish. Since the other party deliberately didn't take action these few days to expose him, then his side had to be even more calm. On one hand, this showed the other party's craftiness, but at the same time, it also exposed the other party's mentality of wanting to complete the smuggling as soon as possible. He turned around and looked at his own boat with satisfaction. It was an advanced domestic anti-smuggling boat with a total length of 51.4 meters, a width of 7.5 meters, a depth of 4.1 meters, a speed of 26.5 knots, an average draft of 1.7 meters, and a designed displacement of 230 tons. Self-sustaining for seven days and nights. The main deck was equipped with a single-barrel 23mm naval gun, and the two sides of the platform were equipped with high-pressure water cannons. With such equipment, he believed that any smuggling activity would be mercilessly crushed in front of him, especially with the two 9.5m motorboats with a speed of 45 knots behind him. The regret of letting the smugglers 'high-speed boats escape because they could not keep up with the speed in the past would never return! At the same time, the air-conditioning system, fire drainage system, fixed fire extinguishing system, fresh water system, seawater system, oily sewage treatment device, ventilation system, compressed air system, domestic sewage treatment system, etc., which were equipped with the anti-smuggling boat, greatly improved the life of the crew at sea. The electronic control and monitoring system on the boat can be controlled and monitored in the cockpit, central control room or beside the aircraft. The navigation radar, dedicated maritime command system, DGPS, electric compass, magnetic compass, depth sounder, log and other equipment ensured the safety of navigation; Shortwave radio, HF wireless telephone, Navtex receiver, integrated internal communication system, television receiver system, lifeboat two-way wireless telephone, satellite position indicator, search and rescue radar transponders, global satellite phone,"H966" electronic chart with GPS locator and other communication and navigation equipment were complete, ensuring smooth information and more flexible command. Especially the motorboat's rapid retracting system. From the beginning of the unhooking to the motorboat sliding down into the water, it took about 7 seconds. From the beginning of the motorboat to the end of the hooking, it took about 45 seconds. Such a fast reaction time gave him greater confidence in completing the mission. Looking at this advanced equipment, he could not help but feel a sense of pride. In these few short years, the equipment had become more and more advanced, and the results of the inspection had become more and more proud! In 1999, the Zhoushan customs anti-smuggling branch was officially established. As a veteran customs officer, he had witnessed the development of customs forces from scratch and from small to large in the past ten years. He had also partially participated in the investigation and co-ordination of more than 130 smuggling cases, including the "924" smuggling case with the largest case value and the largest amount of tax evasion in the history of Zhejiang Province, as well as the "815" smuggling case supervised by the central government. The total amount involved was 1.6 billion yuan, and the tax involved was 1 billion yuan. A total of more than 170 smuggling suspects were arrested, effectively cracking down on the arrogance of the smugglers. These were the source of his laziness and pride. His comrades saw his achievements. As he grew older, the leaders wanted to take care of him and let him go ashore to do some political work. However, he told the leaders that he liked the sea and could not leave the blue territory that raised him. The team members came and left, but he still guarded the outpost of the motherland on this thousand miles of sea.
Zhoushan City was the only prefecture-level administrative region in China that was set up as an archipelago. The city was composed of more than 1390 islands, backed by the Yangtze River Delta, the richest and most dynamic region in China, and faced the East China Sea and the Pacific Ocean. It was the main sea gateway for China's opening to the outside world and the only way for Chinese and foreign ships to travel from south to north. In recent years, although the large-scale smuggling situation at sea had been effectively curbed, due to Zhoushan's special geographical location, smugglers and smuggling gangs at home and abroad had never given up on her. Smuggling activities still occurred from time to time. In this regard, Zhoushan customs anti-smuggling branch prepared for the rainy day, did a good job, did enough "sea" word article, organized the police force to go to the island, enter the enterprise, carry out a comprehensive investigation, at the same time actively build anti-smuggling information database and anti-smuggling intelligence information network. Relying on meticulous work and a strong intelligence network, the anti-smuggling police cracked a number of smuggling cases of marine refined oil products, chilled fresh aquatic products, etc., which had great influence and great harm, and seized smuggled refined oil products, aquatic products, cowhide and other goods worth 60 million yuan. The Anti-Smuggling Branch also actively cooperated with the relevant departments of Zhoushan City to actively carry out the pilot work of comprehensive anti-smuggling management, further regulate the market economic order, and establish a three-way anti-smuggling system for fishing villages, enterprises, and industries. In recent years, with the decline of coastal marine resources and the rise in the prices of fishery and freight production materials, especially the successive entry into force of the China-Japan and China-Korea fishery agreements, it brought unprecedented difficulties and challenges to the fishery industry. According to the overall plan of the country, Zhoushan City implemented the strategic adjustment of the marine industry economic structure. It was planned to reduce 3500 ships by 2010, and nearly 30,000 fishermen and crew members would be transferred to other industries. In response to the fact that some of the Zhoushan crew members who were separated from the structural adjustment were involved in the increase of smuggling crimes at sea, and the number was increasing year by year, the Zhoushan customs anti-smuggling branch maintained the high-pressure situation of smuggling at sea. From the perspective of maintaining local economic development, it actively integrated into the fishery structural adjustment work and tried to guide the surplus crew members out of the blue land and seek a way to start a business. They regularly analyzed and grasped the dynamic situation of Zhoushan sailors participating in maritime smuggling crimes, strengthened the horizontal contact with the main functional departments such as the Municipal Marine Fishery Bureau and the Municipal Fishery Bureau, which were responsible for structural adjustment tasks, and established a semi-annual working meeting mechanism to jointly discuss countermeasures to curb the smuggling of crew members and increase the comprehensive management work. He firmly believed that with every effort, there would be a harvest. He led this selfless, brave and tenacious anti-smuggling team to sharpen the sword against smuggling crimes. He was determined to make new songs and new contributions in the future. Naturally, under such circumstances, he would not let go of the smuggling ship right in front of him. After discussing with the customs base, they decided to continue to wait step by step. At the same time, they strengthened the fearless revolutionary spirit of the crew and worked hard to complete the mission as soon as possible. At the same time, the base also reported that there would be an astronomical spectacle of a total solar eclipse tomorrow morning. At that time, some unexpected things might happen. The ship had to be fully prepared to prevent accidents from happening. If necessary, they could hide in a nearby port. Even if they could not catch the smugglers, they had to ensure the safety of all the people on board. After receiving the decision from the base, Captain Wang immediately held an expanded meeting of the core members and reported the decision to the base. The participants agreed that the difficulties were temporary, and completing the mission was the most important goal at the moment. At the same time, they made preventive measures for possible incidents. In view of the situation of the smuggling ship, the current situation was analyzed. It was believed that the possibility of smugglers using the weather conditions to complete the smuggling activities was relatively high. At night, the strength of the shift should be increased. All preparations should be done on the boat so that the boat could go and fight. Then, they reported the situation on the boat to the base, and the base approved their plan. Then, the crew returned to their respective positions and prepared for the departure, waiting for the order to attack. At 10 o'clock that night, as expected, the target ship moved. Under the radar surveillance, they saw the smuggling ship deliberately moving towards Taizhou. Seeing that the ship was about to leave the area under their jurisdiction, everyone felt helpless. Suddenly, the ship turned sideways and headed towards the mainland. It was obvious that it was going to look for a ship to receive it. This made everyone excited. After waiting for such a long time, when they saw the time to close the net, they could not help but be excited. Everyone got ready and took their positions. He waited for the captain's order. Then, before the captain gave the order to set off, the smuggling ship turned around again and slowly sailed towards the open sea. How cunning! If he had attacked rashly just now, he would have been exposed now! After another half an hour, the other party probably didn't find anything wrong. They headed northwest again. This time, they didn't make any noise and waited quietly for the other party to perform another magical equipment. However, the other party obviously didn't want to drag it out any longer. In less than half an hour, the smuggling boat glided past the front of the anti-smuggling boat about ten miles away. On the radar screen, five obvious targets suddenly appeared on the place that was about 30 miles away from here. It turned out to be the receiving ship that had been hiding there during the day! This time, no one had any more doubts. The target was locked! In less than an hour, the two shadows overlapped on the radar."All departments, get ready! Attack in ten minutes!" Following the captain's order, the crew members who were already prepared to set off carefully checked their equipment again."Attack!" The captain waved his hand decisively, and the anti-smuggling ship cut through the sea like an arrow, rushing toward the target more than twenty miles away at high speed! At this time, the boss of the smuggling ship, Zhao Wenfeng, was munching on a watermelon while watching the first mate hurriedly instruct his subordinates to move the goods. He was secretly glad that he had escaped another blow and celebrated his successful smuggling! The boatswain Wen Yongzhong was also smoking a cigarette on the deck with Hao Lianhu, who was in contact with him. He looked at the people who were unloading the goods from the smuggling ship under the light of the searchlights and happily talked about this "business". At this moment, the crew member who was in charge of monitoring the surrounding situation shouted in a trembling voice,"Boss! Boss! Not good, there's a ship coming from the sea! Run! Everyone, run!" The watchman's hurried voice made people shudder in the quiet night. Suddenly, the ships were in chaos. The captains shouted at their crew members to drop the goods and quickly set sail to leave this dangerous place! Suddenly, the bright lights went out, and the sound of the diesel engines on the ships rang out in a mess. The few receiving ships swayed around the bow and fled into the darkness. However, before they could run far, they were covered by a few bright lights."Don't run! We are the customs police of China! Stop the ship for inspection!" Stop the boat? Wasn't that courting death? Only a fool would listen to you…The rescue boats were running for their lives, but how could they outrun the motorboat? The two motorboats flanked them from both sides at high speed. The searchlights streaked across the sea, illuminating the dark sea as if it was daytime, leaving a few ships that wanted to escape with nowhere to hide. At this moment, the majestic voice came from the loudspeaker again."I'm a customs officer from China! Stop the ship for inspection!" "If you run any further, we'll fire!" What? This guy has a cannon? Could it be fake? While the few ship bosses were still in doubt, they heard a boom! Boom! Boom!" A few sounds! "Boss, let's stop the ship. They have cannons! Where are you going?" When the helpers saw this formation, they quickly begged their boss. This is really f * cking awesome! The few ship bosses were really afraid now. This was not the shore. There was nowhere to hide. If they were really hit by the cannon, they would lose their lives! He could only obediently obey the order and slowly steer the boat around. The few ship bosses were filled with hatred! I've checked many times in the past few days that there shouldn't be any inspection boats here. When did this big guy with a cannon appear? The smuggling boat couldn't run away. The boat was big, so it was slow to start. Before they could make a move, the members of the anti-smuggling team on the boat had already taken control of the entire boat! Although Boss Zhao was cursing in his heart, he still pretended to be honest on the surface! On one hand, he hoped that the boats would escape quickly so that there would be no evidence. On the other side, the police were responding! Actually, he didn't have much hope anymore. Just thinking about the things on the ship was enough to kill him! Not to mention, when he heard the sound of cannons, he knew that everything was over! Since the other party had come out at this time, he must have known about his background long ago. However, his fluke mentality still made him answer the wrong question. It was not until the few captains were brought onto the inspection boat that he had no choice but to lower his head and stop resisting! It was almost five o'clock in the morning, and Venus was already high in the sky. The eastern sky was also bright, indicating the arrival of a new day! The team members who had been fighting hard on the front line for five days and five nights had a victorious smile on their faces after nearly a night of fighting. There was no sign of fatigue at all. When the leaders on duty in the base learned that they had caught the smugglers, they happily asked for credit for them! At the same time, they were asked to escort the smugglers to the base as soon as possible. Considering that there would be an astronomical phenomenon that day, in order to avoid unnecessary losses, they were required to act according to the situation and ensure the successful completion of the mission! After the anti-smuggling team members had a hasty breakfast and sent people to control the cockpits of several smuggling ships, everyone returned happily! Some of the boats were slower, and their return speed was less than 15 knots. However, the crew members couldn't fall asleep due to excitement. They hugged each other and came to the deck to make all the crude tools for observing the total solar eclipse. Seeing the young people so happy and the astronomical wonder that only happened once in a hundred years, Captain Wang didn't stop them; instead, he just told the team leaders to pay attention to their safety. He even kindly organized those smugglers to watch the total solar eclipse together.
The weather on the sea was not bad. It was completely different from the dark clouds on land. The sun emitted its own scorching heat in all directions. Soon, when the hour hand slowly pointed to 8:40, a black edge suddenly appeared beside the sun! The total solar eclipse began. The crew on the ship cheered as they picked up the various observation tools they had prepared. They watched and discussed…The sun slowly began to wane. As more and more areas were occupied, the sky gradually darkened. In order to avoid accidents, the fleet moved in the direction of Xiangshan. At 9:22, the total solar eclipse began. Suddenly, the sea was dark. The crew on the ship shouted like children! Captain Wang gave the order in time, and all ships stopped sailing! He would wait for them to recover before continuing his journey. At this time, they were less than 60 miles away from the dock of Xiangshan, but now they could only anchor on the sea. The sky above them was pitch-black. The crew members on the ship widened their eyes and wanted to see further, but unfortunately, everything was like a starless night. They could not see their fingers when they stretched out their hands. At this moment, the power on the ship was suddenly cut off. The generator was ringing, but there was no power. The various lights that were originally on dimmed all of a sudden. Although everyone was prepared for such a strange situation, they still did not expect such a bizarre thing to happen. Everyone could not help but be filled with awe of the mysterious power of nature! Everyone felt a chill. The clothes they had worn on the sea could not withstand the sudden cold. A few of them were not in good health and had already kicked off their bodies to keep warm. In less than ten minutes, a bright white color suddenly appeared in the sky from the west. The dark shadow of the moon could be seen clearly from its back. Then, the sun shone a small ray of light from the west, dividing the water and sky into two distinct areas. The sky was like the rising sun in the morning, slowly turning into a white color, but the sea was still black, unlike the red and white in the morning. However, at this time, everyone could already see each other's figures. The originally dim lights were also lit up again. In the end, just like the first solar eclipse, the sun came back in reverse and the sky brightened up again. Captain Wang saw that it was getting late, so he asked a few people about the situation on duty and asked them to report to the base. However, before he could take a puff, the crew member who contacted the base reported the situation to him." Captain! There was a problem! He couldn't contact the base no matter how hard he tried!”"Captain!" the navigator reported. The instruments malfunctioned! The data of the satellite automatic navigation system showed garbled codes!”"Hurry up and check! Find out the reason!" "Yes, sir!" Captain Wang couldn't help but mutter in his heart. It was neither too early nor too late, but it had to happen at this time. However, he knew that he couldn't let everyone panic at the moment, so he asked the political commissar to lead the team to let everyone have a good rest in the lower cabin. At the same time, he quickly got the communication room to contact the base. He tried all kinds of methods, but for some reason, he could not contact the base. The GPS lost its function, but the walkie-talkies on the other ships were still intact. Captain Wang asked them to use the equipment on the ship to try to contact the mainland, but the results were disappointing. There was no information at all. They could not contact the mainland! The navigation device was restored, but it could not receive the satellite signal. Everything else was normal. According to the radar search, there were no major changes in the surrounding environment. The islands were still in their old positions. However, he realized that none of the dozens of ships on the sea route had disappeared. Although it was a little strange, he could not care so much at the moment. He had to solve his own problem first.
Captain Wang quickly gathered several officers on the boat for a small meeting and reported the situation to everyone. Everyone thought that there was no need to consider the confidentiality regulations at the moment. They should use the code to see what they could contact. After some hard work, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief. Since they had contacted the nearby Tokyo Island, there was nothing much to think about. They should hurry up and get on the island. If there was anything, they could wait until they reached the island. Then, they introduced the situation here to the island. After contacting them, they drove in the direction of the island…
