"Do your own rescue before rescuers"
On 26/02/1967, U.S. Air Force released the results of the first torpedo campaign northern river port blockade.
One of America's strategy is to use mixed types of mines: mines field (magnetic induction changes, exploding), torpedoes sound (sound waves it emits ship explodes), torpedo hits explosion (the train explodes through touch), torpedoes pressure (pressure vessels going through changes, explode).
These mines are targeted on a specific target, for a variety of ships sunk, transports us different. It kind of just waiting for a new large-tonnage ship exploded, destroying the efficiency increases. In addition, the U.S. also used torpedoes "on time" (ie, 30 times over the last train explosion), used to exploit the guard, which we mistook the river road safety and boldly for many ships transport to go through ...
A sample of U.S. torpedoes.
The plot makes it difficult to force cleared. Initially, it was difficult for the support for the South and between the socialist countries help Vietnam.
Urgent situation, most of the mines are all kinds of new techniques to apply, even in the socialist bloc countries such as the Soviet Union, China does not have a lot of information and effective means of clearing. So, with the motto "save themselves before the rescue", we actively seek to torpedo anti-blockade.
For information about enemy weapons, we have found the purchase of foreign material (mainly in the U.S. allies such as Japan, France, Taiwan ...) the compiler to understand the structure, operation principle of torpedoes.
Besides, many union leaders also sent technical staff to study abroad to develop human resources for the blockade against torpedoes. In particular, the Ministry of Defense ordered 32 engineers throughout the country to study in the domain of a group to study and outlines the methods break mine. Since this is the "property" of the country's precious, so groups are not allowed to experiment, because of the safety concern. The experiments for the navy in charge. After you get the certain knowledge the better team. We conducted mine clearance work.
Promoting Intellectual Vietnam
For magnetic torpedoes, the question is to create a strong enough signal from authors "fool" the mines, and distant broadcast signals to ensure a safe distance to train and control. The engineers navy ships tankist improvements (specialized amphibious transport), fitting the coil from the generator casing and one-dimensional.
When such means, we put to the test, see the signal from the torpedo detonated in front of the train as many meters, right, left, how many meters behind. Then continue calculations, if current weak enough not knock or detonation too close to the ship, we must find ways to increase power capacity.
Major General Nguyen Thi Dinh visited soldiers of mine clearance teams.
At that time, in the north almost no high-power generators, foreign aid is difficult. But in "the wisdom that emerges difficult", the technical staff have conducted several transmitters connected to create stronger power. Thus, the clearance of mines from the field easily.
After this, we also manufacture torpedo boats through unmanned, remote control, on the shore. Thus, the clearance was reduced casualties, but still dangerous "open flow" safe enough for the convoy to pass through.
As a result, from 1967 to 1972 through the naval torpedoes are thousands of types of results. The amount of goods and manpower supply for the South does not decrease but increase. Particularly, the train does not have to be transported hundreds of thousands of tons of cargo weapons into enemy Southwest. The way aid of the socialist countries to the north brothers remain smooth until the end of the war damage.
U.S. warships involved the "Cowardly last scan".
Paris Agreement was signed in 1973, the U.S. military withdrawal from Vietnam and the implementation of commitments in terms of the agreement. In particular, there are provisions to conduct mine clearance were all thrown into the freezing river ports and seaports in northern Vietnam.
The U.S. military made "campaign last blow scan" (on 28/1-18/7/1973), bringing powerful unit Tank Force 78 ships including 10 minesweepers, tugs 6, 9 amphibious ships , three salvage ships, 19 destroyers and additional helicopter units cleared torpedo CH - 53 into the north. But the result almost nothing, this makes them surprised and wondering why drop torpedoes with such density, when the clearance is not explosive.
This victory makes unexpected U.S.. Even in the fraternal countries, it is also about "confusing". Seeing victory against torpedoes blockade of Vietnam, the Soviet Union thought that China helped Vietnam and vice versa. After this, the experience of the blockade against torpedo Vietnam are sharing the fraternal countries.
In 9 years of destructive war against the north, army and people we encounter many difficulties never seemed insurmountable. But the spirit of courage, intelligence, creativity, perseverance through hardships, the team staffs, naval combatants consensus overcome challenges and ensure the safety of river transport routes, the continuous sea to weapons, combat vehicles, military units in the south.
