A peek into spec ops team of PLA Navy

Dreams of veterans in the army for 14 years

Zhang Zhuang, a 35-year-old squad leader, is the oldest soldier on the team. His grandfather served in the old Red Army. Under his grandfather's edification he began his military career. He participates most often in the safe escort of merchant ships.

In 2009, piracy was rampant in the Gulf of Aden in Somalia. On the night of one mission, the convoy encountered many pirate ships. There was a high risk of collision. After firing signal bombs continuously, the pirate ships finally left. This was Zhang's finest hour, but also the most dangerous.
