Since the outbreak of the armed conflict in Sudan, the Chinese government has taken quick and forceful measures to fully protect the safety of Chinese citizens and carefully organized the evacuation.
The Chinese naval guided missile destroyer Nanning and comprehensive supply ship Weishanhu maneuvered at high speed for more than 630 nautical miles overnight, and rushed from the Gulf of Aden to the waters near Port Sudan, seven hours earlier than the time required by their superiors.
It is understood that at the deployment meeting, the Chinese Navy formulated a special action plan. If the warship cannot dock at the Sudanese dock, it will use assault boats to send the crew and special forces members aboard, and the evacuees must be picked up on board.
The commander's concern is not based on speculation. The evacuation operations of some countries in Sudan were attacked by unknown armed forces, causing damage to equipment and injuries.
According to the evacuation action plan, the Chinese naval warships evacuated from Port Sudan in Sudan to Jeddah Port in Saudi Arabia. The two ports straddle the Red Sea with a straight-line distance of more than 170 nautical miles. In order to allow the evacuees who escaped from danger to sleep peacefully on board, the naval officers and soldiers vacated most of the living quarters, took out their own bedding, and posted guide signs in the passage to tell everyone the location of the bathroom and restaurant. The cooking team works almost all day long to ensure that the evacuees have hot dishes and meals.
In a few days, the range of the two warships exceeded 1140 nautical miles, the command process was smooth, the officers and soldiers cooperated tacitly, and the equipment performance was good.
On April 29, the Chinese army completed the task of evacuating Chinese personnel in Sudan. The Chinese Navy not only evacuated 940 Chinese citizens from Port Sudan, but also evacuated 231 foreigners at the request of relevant countries.
The evacuation of overseas Chinese from Sudan shows that the Chinese navy already possesses capabilities commensurate with China's international status and compatible with national security and development interests. The evacuation operation tested the maneuverability of Chinese naval ships and the professionalism of naval officers and soldiers, and also demonstrated the good international image of the Chinese government and Chinese military.
