Chapter 19: Long Live the Motherland
After receiving the captain's order, Captain Cheng Penghui flew a Z-9C helicopter loaded with live ammunition to the target sea area. It is not the first time that he has participated in such an operation to escort fishermen, and he is very experienced in this area.
But this time he was confronted with a Philippine warship with a certain air defense capability, and the Philippine warship had already used force against unarmed fishermen, and this was the first time that Cheng Penghui had encountered such an obviously provocative armed attack on a Chinese citizen. When he carried out this kind of fishing protection task, he was given the power to deal with it randomly, but he had no case to refer to, he could only adapt to the actual situation on the spot, and to carry out this kind of task not only to safeguard the dignity of the country and the sovereignty of the territorial waters, but also to avoid escalating the situation.
He has been flying this helicopter for five years and has more than 3,000 flight hours. He is confident that he will rely on the advanced performance and powerful force of the Z-9C to expel Philippine warships and official vessels from China's territorial waters and protect the safe return of the fishing fleet.
The Z-9C is derived from the French AS565 "Dolphin" and has become the standard helicopter for the surface fleet of China. The Z-9C is a domestic derivative of the AS565. It is a multi-purpose medium helicopter that can perform anti-submarine, air search and rescue at sea and anti-ship missions. The Z-9C carried two anti-ship missiles and two Yu-7 light torpedoes, which were capable of sinking or damaging Philippine warships. For the South Philippine country, which has no armed helicopters and no advanced fighters, the Z-9C is already a transcendent existence.
The on-board radar of the X-band multifunctional helicopter of the KLC-1 type showed that seven ships in the target sea area were heading northwest at a speed of 15 knots.
"01, the Flying Eagle found the target, a patrol ship with a displacement of 4,500 tons and an armed vessel with a displacement of 350 tons were chasing five of our fishing boats, asking for instructions. Cheng Penghui reported the situation to the command center.
"Flying eagles, expel ships from other countries and protect the safety of our fishing boats. Avoid misfire, and if you encounter a dangerous situation, you can deal with it randomly. "The command center gives the latest mission order.
"Feiying understands, ah, what's going on?" the command center heard Cheng Penghui's exclamation.
"Flying Eagle, please reply, what's going on?"
"01, the Philippine warship exploded and sank. Please check if any of our other combat units are involved in this operation. I have already flown over the target and determined that the Philippine warship has exploded and sunk, and no one has escaped. ”
"Flying Eagle, please wait for confirmation. "The command center was busy.
"Flying Eagle understands. ”
"Flying Eagle, Flying Eagle, it has been confirmed that no other combat units on our side are involved in the operation. Please pay close attention to the situation and search for traces of the attackers to confirm the identity of the attackers. ”
Cheng Penghui turned up the power of the radar to the maximum, and no suspicious ships or flying objects were found on the surface or under the water within a radius of 100 nautical miles.
At this time, the official ship of the South Philippines was already in chaos. These monkey soldiers can't even hold their guns, let alone shooting. They have not only never seen or heard of the invisible conventional weapons that can blow up a ship with a displacement of 4,500 tons. This kind of shock is not experienced by those who are there in person, especially if it is the ships of their own companions that are destroyed.
The captain of the monkey soldiers was stunned for ten seconds before he realized that he should now run. He tore open his throat and shouted, "Hurry, hurry up and sail back." But the driver was still in shock, and his shouts could be heard there. Captain Monkey rushed in front of the driver and slapped him in the face. "You Mahler, fork up, sail back. The driver then came to his senses, and with all his milk strength he spun the rudder and started the engine that had been shut out, his already deactivated body trembling profusely. However, the engine still roared weakly a few times, and there was no more sound.
"Check the engine right away and fix it as soon as possible. Captain Monkey was already sweating profusely, and he had a hunch that today might be their last day. The mechanic drilled into the engine room and began to overhaul the engine, but the damage caused to the diesel engine seal by the tiny oscillation wave generated by the particle weapon was not solved by the monkey repairman who only knew the engine fur, and after ten minutes he still couldn't find any reason, and the monkey captain was desperate.
Captain Monkey grabbed the microphone that had just been able to resume the call, and Xiangshang Feng reported: "Chicken nest, chicken nest, I am a pheasant, something is wrong, the patrol ship Del Bilal was sunk, no one survived, and the attack weapon is unknown." Chinese troops arrived with helicopter gunships. Our ship's engine failure is in danger and we cannot evacuate, so we ask for help, ask for help. Damn, there's a torpedo - a torpedo ......"
-----------------------------------------------------
"01, found a torpedo, 21 degrees southwest of the direction, speed - yes, how could it be, speed 280 knots, small torpedo, length of one meter five. The target of the attack was a Philippine official ship. At a distance of 10,000 meters, 5,000 meters, and 1,000 meters, it was in the middle of the side of the official ship, and the official ship was blown to pieces. There is no sign of life, no one has escaped. In the direction of the torpedo, the radar did not detect suspicious targets. Report complete. ”
Cheng Penghui's heart tightened for a while, this kind of real war scene was the first time he had seen it, and nearly 200 people on the two ships were wiped out in an instant.
Cheng Penghui was specially recruited to join the naval aviation force after graduating from university at the age of 22, and in eight years he participated in dozens of military exercises of all sizes and several times in live-fire drills against target ships, but today's cruel picture still made him shudder, and he calmed down after a moment of panic and began to search for possible threats in accordance with the regulations. He was sure that from today he would become a real military man.
After Yuxing gave the order to shoot, he focused his attention on the three-dimensional virtual image in front of him, and when he saw that the bones of the bombed patrol ship Del Bilal were gone, and there was no trace left, he scolded hatefully: "Bastard, look at how you still put a fork." Only then did his anger diminish a little.
"John, how come there are no wrecks and other floating debris on the sea. ”
"Boss, the energy used when attacking is larger, causing the target to be vaporized at the same time as it explodes. John was a little trembling, afraid that Yuxing would not be satisfied with this result.
"The ship has been vaporized, how can it still produce an explosion?" Yu Xing still knows a little about physics, anyway, he is also an undergraduate graduate of science and engineering, although he still knows nothing about the technology on the comprehensive ship, but it does not hinder his understanding of the knowledge of the earth.
"Boss, this is because the energy has not yet reached the level of instantaneous vaporization of the entire ship, if the energy output is increased by 5%, the high temperature generated by the gasification of the hull will have the ammunition gasified before it is transmitted to the ammunition, and there will be no explosion of ammunition. If the energy output is reduced by 5% and the critical point of vaporizing a large volume of metal objects is not reached, it will have the effect of an explosion similar to that of conventional explosives on Earth, leaving behind debris from the ship and a large number of floating objects. If the energy is reduced to 1%, it can only break the hull or blow it into several pieces. John introduced the power of the C-class particle cannon to Yuxing in detail and intuitively, and it was not without the purpose of popularizing the knowledge of the Sky Alliance to Yuxing.
"There's so much to think about, what weapon would be better for John to use if he were to sink this ship. Yuxing pointed to the official ship of the South Philippine Kingdom that rose and fell with the waves in the three-dimensional image.
"Boss, what kind of effect do you want. "John learned to be obedient and asked for Yuxing's opinion first.
"It's good to be wrecked, isn't there still a helicopter watching, keep a low profile. Yuxing said arrogantly.
"Boss, none of the weapons on the submarine are suitable for use on this small boat, you can improvise a small torpedo, and the power can destroy this small ship as long as it reaches the energy of 500 kilograms of TNT by the standard of the earth. John suggested to Yuxing.
"How much time will it take?" Yuxing wasn't prepared to spend time on this.
"Boss, because the machining center on the submarine is not complete, and the number of multi-functional robots is small, the manufacturing time will be longer, about three minutes and fifty seconds. John's expression was gloomy, and in nearly four minutes, two shuttles (F117) could be produced on the integrated ship.
"Okay, start manufacturing, if the effect is good, you can produce more, and then use this thing to make small boats. ”
John sweats a little, and his boss is an absolute sadist. "The task has been issued. ”
Four minutes later, a virtual three-dimensional torpedo appeared in front of Yuxing's eyes. This torpedo is only 1.5 meters long and has a thick mouth. The front and rear parts of the torpedo have three pairs of wings, and in the tail part are two pairs of miniature adjustable blast holes. It's a cute hazard.
After this time, the submarine was already less than 50 nautical miles away from the area where the incident occurred. Yuxing pointed to the official ship of the South Philippine Kingdom drifting like a dead fish in the virtual image: "The target, this ship, launch." ”
In the virtual image, the tail of the little cutie sprayed four air currents, rushing towards the official ship like a gallop, two rows of three-dimensional data appeared above the little cutie's head, the first row is the target distance, gradually decreasing from 50 nautical miles, and the second row is the speed, gradually increasing from 10 knots. With 10 nautical miles to go, Cutie jumped from 50 meters to the surface at a maximum speed of 280 knots. Five minutes later, there was a loud bang, and the official ship went up in smoke.
Liu Zhiyuan never dreamed that today would be such an ending, the warship with a displacement of 4,500 tons and the official ship with a displacement of more than 300 tons that were chasing after them just now disappeared. He seemed to be in a dream, and it felt extremely unreal.
The motherland's economy is developing at a high speed, its military strength is steadily increasing, and its voice in the international arena is gradually increasing. The motherland has always advocated the peaceful settlement of territorial disputes between countries, and has only lodged serious protests against foreign armed warships that have invaded and occupied the motherland's islands and entered the motherland's waters, but have not taken concrete countermeasures.
However, what Liu Zhiyuan saw and heard today shattered the image of his motherland as gentle and weak. The fearless spirit of those who offend our Chinese people, even if they are far away, is vividly displayed today. He rejoiced in the strength of the motherland and inspired the strength of the army. His homeland used new torpedoes and missiles worth more than a million dollars for the sake of these cheap fishing boats and for the humble lives of a few of their fishermen. Protect their lives and property at the risk of war. The motherland is worthy of the title of the Great Mother, and he protects the descendants of China with his strong arms.
Liu Zhiyuan burst into tears, his emotions were extremely excited, and he nagged in his heart: "Long live the motherland! Long live the motherland!" His voice grew from nothing, from small to loud, until he waved his fists and used all his strength to shout: "Long live the motherland!" Several crew members of the ship followed their captain and shouted frantically, and the crews of the other four fishing boats that drifted over also shouted in unison: "Long live the motherland! The sound soared into the sky, drowning out the sound of the helicopter propeller hovering above them.
