Chapter 1046 Such a small ship, it is not appropriate to waste a single anti-ship missile

"Report, enemy ship spotted!"

Soon, the radar on the Vietnamese transport ship also spotted the warship near Chi Kua Reef.

It's just that now the two sides are close to each other.

Wu Yun looked at the map in the command room, analyzing the situation.

Radar found only one boat cruising slowly next to Chigua Reef, and there were no boats at Qiong Reef, 5.5 nautical miles northeast of Chigua Reef, and 1.7 nautical miles northwest of Chigua Reef.

You have to get there as soon as possible, before it's too late.

In order to take the lead in occupying the island, the entire fleet set out from Cam Ranh Bay, almost regardless of the fact that the maximum speed was only 12 knots, and forcibly increased the speed to 14 knots, and there were already ships there.

Is that all?

No way!

If you give up like this, and fail at that time, how can you explain it to the command?

Wu Yun will definitely not be reconciled.

"Order, according to the predetermined plan, the fleet will be separated, Captain Li Lingshan will lead No. 605 to seize the Dao (Qiong) Reef, and Captain Wu Feizhu will go with us to the Ghost Cry Reef......" Wu Yun quickly made a decision.

The transport ship is too slow.

You can't even speed it up if you want to.

Especially after departing from Cam Ranh Bay, the sea was rough and rough, which made it more difficult for them to sail.

They were finally about to reach their destination, and they hadn't had time to drop anchor and land and plant flags, let alone build stilt houses to put these islands in their hands, and this happened.

"Report, the enemy fleet is separated!"

The radar crews, who had been keeping an eye on the Vietnamese fleet, saw that the ships were about to arrive and separated, one coming in this direction, and the two continuing in a northeast direction.

"They want to seize Qiong Reef and Ghost Cry Reef!"

The commander on the 502 ship looked at the map and understood the purpose of the Vietnamese.

But now, they can't help it.

In the vicinity, the most strategically important is the red melon reef, the reef is not small, although there is no dirt or anything.

"Ask 531 and 556 to speed up!" said the captain through gritted teeth.

"What about us?"

"Hold on here, stand out from them. The captain said without hesitation.

Originally, they were going to slowly survey to see where it was suitable to land and how to build a post, but now that the Vietnamese have come, they will definitely not be able to come as slowly as before.

"We have to secure the reef first and wait for the follow-up ships to arrive. ”

Soon, the Vietnamese transport ship appeared in everyone's sight.

"They're coming!"

A Vietnamese transport ship with a gold star flag flying on its mast emerged from the sea level in the distance, and then the entire silhouette of the battleship could be seen.

"Stop them!"

The fleets of the Vietnamese had already dispersed, each heading towards its intended goal.

What is different from history is that the Vietnamese warships that came here this time are no longer the HQ604 armed transport ship with a full load displacement of 822 tons, but the 505, an amphibious landing ship with a full load displacement of 4100.

Major Wu Yun, who was standing on the bridge and observing the Chinese warship 500 meters away with a telescope, and Senior Captain Wu Huili, the captain of the 505 transport ship, laughed.

"These Chinese did not dare to take the initiative to open fire. Wu Yun said with a smile. "They really think we don't dare to do it? They didn't even plant the flag!"

Wu Yun held a telescope and toured around the Chigua Reef, but did not find any red flags planted by Chinese on the island.

"We're anchoring here, and we'll have to plant the flag on this island by 6 o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"They broke down!"

The people on the 502 ship, both cadres and soldiers, were in a bad mood.

These Vietnamese are clearly provocative.

On the Chinese warship, a major picked up a loudspeaker and shouted to the Vietnamese armed transport ship: "This is the territorial waters of the People's Republic of China, your actions have seriously violated the sovereignty of the People's Republic of China, please leave the ...... immediately."

However, the Vietnamese simply ignored them.

"Commissar, could it be that these guys can't understand us?"

Seeing that there was no movement on the other side, someone proposed.

The shouter shouted in English again, but there was still no movement on the other side.

In the end, I had no choice but to find a soldier on the ship who knew Vietnamese and shouted in Vietnamese.

But there was still no movement.

"These bastards are actually helpless!"

The people on the 502 ship were helpless.

The other party didn't pay attention to it at all.

Now I can't scare them with the main gun.

"Look, I'll just say it, they don't dare to do anything!" Wu Huili stood in the bridge command room, looked outside, and said proudly.

It was getting dark outside.

"Arrange the personnel and prepare to force the landing on the island. Wu Yun also said with a smile, "This is our territory!"

There was still something in his heart that he didn't say, that is, even if it wasn't originally, from the time they arrived, it would belong to the territory of Vietnam.

Expand the territory and immediately seal the marquis, that is a matter of honoring the ancestors.

"The personnel are ready, but now there is a lot of wind and waves outside!" Wu Huili said, "Major, don't worry, even if the Chinese flag is flying on it, it doesn't matter, just pull them out and throw them away!"

Wu Huili, who had also participated in the seizure of Chinese islands before, knew that the Chinese navy would not dare to open fire, otherwise he would not have stopped here with a swaggering escort ship with only four twin 40-mm machine guns.

There was a lot of wind and waves outside, and it was not suitable for putting down the dinghy at all.

And on the 502 ship, which was 500 meters away, they kept an eye on each other's moves.

The wind and waves at sea are not small, and the strong wind blows the warship constantly, rolling up large waves several meters high, and the small boat is simply unable to sail in such a situation.

The officers and soldiers who landed on the island were ready, just waiting for the wind and waves to stop.

The warship can't get too close to Chigua Reef, which is surrounded by reefs and can run aground if you're not careful.

You can only wait for the sea to calm down.

The fleet is in the South China Sea, and after a month of confrontation with the Vietnamese, those bastards don't care about morality or anything.

"Report, 531 and 556 have arrived, and they are followed by the Nanyun 950 supply ship and the 537 frigate, they are going to the direction of Ghost Cry Reef......

At almost ten o'clock in the evening, the 531 formation finally arrived.

"The 950 supply ship is not from our fleet. ”

"It was said that the 537 frigate came with the sea trials......," the intelligence staff officer said.

And the people on the ship are even more blind, when will there be a 537 ship?

There are so many frigates in the Navy in total, and there is no such number 537 at all, is it a new service?

When I asked, I found out that it was actually a new warship that had not yet been commissioned and was still undergoing sea trials.

What kind of excitement did the warships of the sea trials come to join in?

"Nonsense, don't they know what this place is? Not to mention the supply ship, but also the passenger ship, let them roll as far as they want, don't come to join in the fun!" The leader on the 502 ship suddenly became angry.

When is it, and you still come to join in the fun.

Isn't this looking for trouble?

So this situation was quickly reported to the fleet headquarters, and the fleet headquarters did not expect that the 537 fleet would run to the direction of Chigua Reef.

Therefore, the only order can be given to keep them away.

Xie Kai was not reluctant to give orders, just because they had their own purposes.

But when he saw the boat next to the Ghost Cry Reef, Xie Kai wanted to cry without tears.

Especially the gunwale, it's not right at all.

What about the promised 4100-ton amphibious landing craft?

What about the Vietnamese National Treasure class warship?

Does this small broken ship in front of you have a displacement of 1,000 tons?

"Find me and see how many turrets there are on it!" Xie Kai was a little unrelenting.

As a result, the strong searchlight of 537 shone on the Vietnamese transport ship with the number 604.

No matter how much you searched, you couldn't find the legendary 4 twin batteries.

Yes, there are also only two machine-gun turrets.

Not really!

"What the hell, what is the Vietnamese commander doing? Didn't you say that the 505 amphibious landing ship with the largest tonnage is here today?" Xie Kai was really a little speechless now, "It's not appropriate for such a small ship to waste an anti-ship missile!"

"What's wrong with wasting a missile?" Mozzie was a little puzzled.

From the very beginning, before encountering 531, Xie Kai did not return to the supply ship.

Originally, Mo Qi had always been curious about what Xie Kai came to the South China Sea for, and at this moment, he seemed to understand a little.

Yu Haitao was also puzzled, and he didn't know what Xie Kai's words meant.

"Don't we have a few anti-ship missiles behind us, in case there is a real war, let's test the effect. Xie Kai said calmly.

"That's what you're here for, right?" Yu Haitao now understood why Xie Kai didn't come here properly.

When I was still in Shanghai, I felt that this kid was a little strange, why did he ask the Saudi Navy to come to the South China Sea for training.

"Just this ship, it's almost there, it doesn't have any armed strength, and it's not even as strong as the Persians' armed speedboats, so let's use it to practice!" looked at the armed transport ship not far away, Lafata was very satisfied.

These words startled Xie Kai, who was on the bridge of the 537 ship.

Just kidding, can this be done?

Not to mention Xie Kai, even Yu Haitao and others were scared.

"This ship is bigger, and it's easier to aim......"

The Saudis gave their reasons.

Just launch an anti-ship missile and call it a day.

"General, I can't help it! This is our warship, in our waters. Although it is said that the other side is invading, we can't open fire directly......" Xie Kai explained a lot.

"They've already invaded, so why wait for them to fire first?" puzzled the Saudis.

"Because China is a country of etiquette, and we advocate peace, peaceful development is what we pursue. Xie Kai righteously warned the Saudis not to mess around.

Fortunately, the weapon system of 537 is controlled by the instructors.

"Besides, a C-801 anti-ship missile costs millions of dollars, and a ship like theirs is still an old ship, and it is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars at the top, and it is really not cost-effective to waste a missile. ”

Saudi Arabia also feels that it is indeed not cost-effective to use a missile of millions of dollars to kill a small ship of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
