Would it be better to have a loadout with a bayonet or no bayonet at all during a ZA?

IMO I think a bayonet could also function as utility knives so i think they could be rather useful in a ZA.

The only potential downside is that it makes the rifle longer, which really isn't too big of a downside if you think about it. Also depending on rifle i think it could stop stuff like underbarrel grenade launchers being installed, but bayonets are going to be much more common than grenade launchers anyways

Also FYI here in China bayonets are mostly ceremonial(especially in training as a form of aggression training), or maybe in roles such as sentries(PAP guards at important structures or Base security/MPs) but other than that are generally no longer in actual combat use, however due to it's rather ceremonial role in bayoneting practice, they actualyl seem to be rather widespread among chinese troops(along with militia, and even some police and fire departments on ceremonial rifles), so in a ZA bayonets and rifles may be just as common, at least here in china

Much larger than I expected.

I've never seen the class of tugboat CCGS 34542 is before; CCGS 34611 is also seen for the first time.(likely same class as CCGS 14613, though name of class is unknown). CCGS 34539's class is also unknown, what is known is that it is the same class as CCGS 13536.

34542, 34611, 34537 and 34539 are ex-PLAGF.

Qingyu 312(青鱼312) is almost certainly maritime militia under the qingdao garrison command.

News report: https://m.weibo.cn/status/5333568563714426

News report is that the station is finally able to directly recieve mail through it's new roads.

In August 18, 2016, due to heavy flooding caused by tropical storm Dianmu in Lingao, Hainan, the Lingao Border defense detachment was deployed to conduct search and rescue in it's jurisdiction.

While rescue people trapped in a car, 3 border defense soldiers including Corporal Ouyang were washed away by rapids. Two were later found and were fine, however Corporal Ouyang was declared MIA before he was located the next day at 9:45, having drowned in the floods.

Corporal Ouyang Wenjian(欧阳文健) was born in December 1994 in Guiyang county, Hunan; He enlisted December 2012, and at the time of his death was the deputy squad leader of 2nd Squad, Special reaction platoon(border defense spec ops), Mobile company, Lingao Border management detachment, Hainan border defense corps.

He posthumously recieved the Gold medal of devotion for national defense, a 2nd class meritorious service medal and posthummous CPC membership.

During his 4 years with the PAP Border defense, he recieved two personal commendations and two "excellent soldier" awards.

(The PAP/Ministry of public security border defense corps is a now ministry of public security active service force, which were units manned by active service People's armed police personnel under the ministry of public security/local police departments.

In 2018, the Lingao border defense detachment became the Hainan provincial police coastal police corps 7th detachment, with it's soldiers being converted to people's police.(civil servants))

Each PAP municipal detachment operates a special operations platoon or company; however reportedly in recent months some have been disbanded but that's another story.

FYI the PAP Border defense corps is a defunct military/law enforcement branch that was a ministry of public security active service force; basically, they were active service soldiers of the People's armed police, but they were subordinate to only the ministry of public security border management department and local police departments; In this case the yantai border defense detachment listend to the shandong border defense corps along with the Yantai police.

They no longer exsist post 2018 reforms, now being either in local police or the national immigration administration; in this case, the Yantai border defense detachmment is now the Yantai PD coastal police branch; the Tigershark commando unit is now known as the coastal police branch SWAT team and still exsists as far as we know.

The yantai tigershark commando unit(虎鲨突击队; not to be confused with the PLANMC unit) was established in the early 2010s as a special unit for the border defense detachment. I don't know why they needed a seperate tema for the border defense detachment as the PAP spec ops platoon and SWAT already exsist, but my guess is(i could very much be wrong) they are more qualified with anti-smuggling, VBSS and stuff.

(prefix PLAJLSFS is just a guess. no official source confirms this)

Very rare to see non navy/coast guard military vessels with names.

Considering it appears to be a fuel storage facility(most likely JLSF) in the background, I think this is likely to transport personnel to the fuel facility, since that is the role of dispatch boats.

Dispatch boats in PLAGF service have also been used by chinese presidents as presidential yarhts such as the famous 1956-1-11 series as some of them are more comfortable than other military vessels. However IIRC fuel storage facilities are led by Colonels or Lt Cols so likely not the case.

essentially their job is enforcing military disclipine among active service; this goes from tidying uniforms all the way to criminal cases.

Zhongzhuang prison is a prison of the guizhou provincial PAB in Zhongzhuang town, Honghuaguang district, Zunyi city, guizhou province. The prison SWAT team's role is guarding the main prison gates(A and B; however the prison wall is typically also guarded by people's armed police soldiers.(PAP soldiers are military unlike corrections officers)), riot control, response to violent incidents along with prisoner escort if they have to leave the prison(for medical care, court cases etc)

FYI the text behind the SWAT truck says "Gate A". this is the prison gate btw(on the right is "contraband is not permitted in the prison")

SWAT truck is the "Saber tooth tiger", a modified ford F550 and one of the most popular SWAT trucks in china. (it's essentially like the bearcat for chinese police)

Police equipment by officer:

dude on truck engine: QBZ-95-1

dude on truck, turret: 38mm riot gun(federal riot gun copy; NARG-38 is the foreign use name but within chinese service it's just 38mm riot gun. Also btw it's often used as a de facto grenade launcher)

both dudes on the side of the truck have transparent riot shields with man catchers

guys and ladies on the ground, left to right:

• Baton and arm shield
• K9
• Baton and arm shield
• QBZ-95-1

Recently fired a ICBM to newcastle in game, my morale factor went from -4 for civilian causalties all the way to a whopping -22.

AND, to make things worse, the AFK nations replaced with AI are much more aggressive and declare war on me all the time.(keep in mind everyone in my game is AFK)

can we please reduce morale damage caused by civilian casualties?

Slide 1:

• Caption: In the early 1960s, foreign military vessels and civilian vessels were modified to create the 2nd generation of PLAGF vessels, such as the 50 tonne class transport boat, 82 tonne class transport boat, 100 tonne class transport boat, B55 class landing craft, 50 tonne class landing craft, type 203 patrol boat, type 966 patrol boat etc.
• Top photo: 100 tonne class transport boat PLAGFS J2119 (jinan military region)

• Top photo: B-class(or Yi(乙) class) catamaran dispatch boat PLAGFS G2314 (guangzhou military region)
  • Note: appears to resemble the type 681II dispatch boat. most likely the same class.

  • Most likely maritime militia? it's under the national defense mobilization system which was the PLAGF back then..

Slide 3:

• Top photo: PLAGFS 1956-1-11 dispatch boat (likely the 2nd one)
  • There are three generations of PLAGF dispatch boat named 1956-1-11. it's an honary pennant number, since mao rode on the first one back in 1956-1-11. They are possibly the most highly decorated vessels in PLAGF service. judging from the time, this is the second ever one.
  • https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5083548370866978 for a photo of the current 1956-1-11. dispatch boats are in general more luxurius than standard warships(i went on PLANS Nanjiao 87(南交87) of the HK garrison before), but i speculate this may be used as a ship for the president or other high ranking military officers like it's predecessors.
• Bottom left: 1000 tonne class oiler(NATO: Fulin class; wikipedia calls it type 632, which is questionable) PLAGFS G2301 (guangzhou military region)

So apparently, there isn't only maritime militia(whose exsistence has been confirmed by official sources before), but maritime emergency management militia lol; Normal emergency management militia are mobile militia units responsible for providing help to local militia units; they are more trained in disaster relief.

For the original post; i recommend using r/firefighter instead of r/firefighting . r/wildfire, r/firetrucks and r/firefighterporn are also rather good alternatives.

Now, please don't harrass user/mods of r/firefighting; when i previously used this sub, their users were actually rather nice in contrast to the moderators.

Again, this is not a call for interference.

However their mods cannot stand anything unrelated to american firefighting, especially if it's chinese, even if the community has no issues with it.

Funnily enough i'm not officially banned but rather shadowbanned, and a lot of my previous posts have been removed, which is quite a shame since i did do quite some research on some of them(e.g. 2015 tianjin casualties)

but yeah, PSA, don't use r/firefighting, much better alternatives exsist

EDIT: Banned me for "brigading and site interferene". knew this would happen anyways
