Bai Chongbing is 25 years old this year, and although he is not very old, he has nearly three years of military experience. He graduated from the Chinese Naval Command College with a major in Marine Corps Command. After graduation, he was assigned to the 1st Marine Group of the South China Sea Fleet. He started as a squad leader and was promoted to platoon commander in three years, and is a rare and outstanding non-commissioned officer in the Marine Corps.

Three months ago, his platoon was rotated to garrison Zhongjian Island. This was not only a training exercise for the more than 30 soldiers in the platoon, but also a test of Bai Chongbing's command and management ability. Bai Chongbing cherishes this rare opportunity to perform.

In addition to his platoon, there were two speedboat maintenance soldiers and two radar soldiers on the island, a total of 39 people. Life on the island was very difficult, and Bai Chongbing had to worry about the soldiers' food, clothing, shelter and transportation in addition to ensuring the completion of the soldiers' guarding and training tasks. Especially in terms of eating, he can't be a little sloppy, he has to be careful with his calculations, otherwise in bad weather, there will be a possibility of running out.

Over the past three months, they have experienced countless typhoons and rains, as well as countless rescue conflicts at sea, and after such training, the 39 soldiers on the island have become all-rounders in the army and can be qualified for different combat positions.

Zhongjian Island is equipped with two patrol speedboats of more than 150 tons, with a speed of 35 knots, and is equipped with a 37-mm small-caliber naval gun, four high-speed large-caliber machine guns, and a number of depth charges. There are eleven crew members, which happens to be a full squad of the Marine Corps.

There were no professional naval soldiers on the island, so the work of piloting the two speedboats and manipulating weapons was also carried out by them Marines.

At 2:21 p.m. today, the signal corps reported to Bai Chongbing that six fishing boats from Qionghai Province of China were harassed by fishing boats and coast guard vessels from South Vietnam at a distance of 21 degrees northeast of Zhongjian Island and 35 nautical miles from the island, and the South Vietnamese Coast Guard tried to ram the Chinese fishing boats. The situation was very urgent, and Chinese fishermen sent a distress signal to Zhongjian Island.

Bai Chongbing immediately reported the situation to his superiors, and in accordance with the guidelines for defending the island and the requirements of the plan for dealing with emergencies at sea formulated by his superiors, he personally led the team to board a patrol boat and sail towards the sea area where the accident occurred.

Forty minutes later, they rushed to the area where the incident occurred, and in the binoculars, Bai Chongbing saw the scene that made him angry, two South Vietnamese coast guard ships with a displacement of more than 500 tons armed to the teeth. They are chasing Chinese fishing boats and spraying high-pressure water jets at them from time to time.

The Chinese fishing boats frantically fled in the direction of Zhongjian Island, while the coast guard boats following the fishing boats were in hot pursuit, intending to drive the Chinese fishing boats out of the so-called South Vietnamese waters.

A little farther away, fishermen from four Vietnamese fishing boats that clashed with Chinese boats stood on deck cheering on their coast guard boats.

Bai Chongbing ordered the speedboat to move at full speed and issued a warning to two South Vietnamese coast guard ships on the public channel.

"South Vietnamese Maritime Police Ships 327 and 324, we are patrol boats of the Chinese People's Navy stationed on Zhongjian Island, you have entered Chinese waters, and your illegal acts must be stopped immediately. Withdraw from China's waters. ”

The patrol speedboat quickly headed towards the scene of the incident, and the majestic warnings were continuously sent out on the public channel. After the two sides came into sight, Bai Chongbing saw that the South Vietnamese coast guard ship had changed its direction. The bow of the boat turned 90 degrees and headed in the direction of the country's fishing boat. Fishermen on the Huaguo fishing boats poured onto the deck to cheer at the approaching Huaguo patrol speedboats.

The patrol boat's communicator also heard a warning call from the South Vietnamese Coast Guard. They condemned the entry of the Chinese warship into the waters of South Vietnam and demanded that the Chinese warships immediately withdraw from the waters.

The ships of the two sides got closer and closer, and Bai Chongbing's speedboat crossed the Chinese fishing boat and approached within 200 meters of the South Vietnamese coast guard boat. The weapons on the patrol boats were pointed at the South Vietnamese coast guard boats. The gun's fire control radar also began scanning two South Vietnamese armed ships, and the South Vietnamese Coast Guard responded with the same measures. The two sides are tense, and there is a posture of fighting each other if they don't say a word.

It's like a rehearsal. The warships of the two sides did not use force, but began to confront each other, and the patrol boat and the South Vietnamese coast guard ship passed by many times, which was extremely dangerous, and an accident involving the collision of the two ships was very likely to occur if the slightest mistake occurred; although the weapons and equipment of the Chinese patrol boats were much better and more advanced than those of the South Vietnamese coast guard ships, in terms of the tonnage of the ships, they were obviously at a disadvantage, and the tragedy of the two ships colliding and the destruction of the ships and the loss of life was very likely to occur on the side of the Chinese patrol boats.

More than half an hour passed after the two sides were entangled, and the voices accusing each other of invading their own waters gradually became quieter and longer, and the fishing boats of the two countries began to slowly move in the direction of their own countries. This is a precursor to the disengagement between the two sides.

This kind of emergency has occurred many times since Bai Chongbing was stationed on the island, but this incident involved more ships from both sides. Under normal circumstances, in order to avoid the further escalation of the situation, affect the relations between the two countries, or even the outbreak of a local war, the two sides will be more restrained in their actions and words, and after a period of confrontation, both sides will choose to disengage and return to their respective stations, and then the embassies of both sides will lodge a protest with the government of the other country, and the matter will be settled.

As a result, law enforcement vessels on both sides dealing with such incidents have become accustomed to such maritime disputes, and each time both sides have made concessions and then withdrawn from the disputed waters. If the foreign policies of the two countries do not change, after a while, the same thing will happen again, and the cycle will continue.

But this time, the two coast guard ships of South Vietnam are tragic, because they meet a vicious master, our protagonist Tran Yu Thanh.

Chen Yuxing's super warship sailed for more than 20 minutes toward the area where the incident occurred, and saw three law enforcement boats of the two countries that were entangled, as well as 10 fishing boats that were observing the fighting methods of the two sides from a distance.

The entangled ships on both sides spotted the strange warship that suddenly appeared in sight, and their strange shape and flying speed surprised them. No matter which side of such a high-speed battleship it belongs to, the sudden addition of this battleship will instantly break the fragile balance between the two sides.

Ships on both sides began to be cautious to avoid accidents in this particular situation. The first thing they have to do is to find out which country or organization the battleship belongs to.

The commander of the South Vietnam Coast Guard 327 boat, Major Nguyen Van Chi, asked the radar crew behind the pilot's seat.

"Which country's warship is this? Why did it suddenly appear here? ”

"Captain, it is not shown on the radar, this should be a stealth fast warship, there is no information about it in the database, and from the technical analysis of the ship, it is very likely that it belongs to the Chinese military. ”

Ruan Wanzhi's heart immediately lifted. He had a bad premonition that something might happen today. He carefully analyzed the case of the South Philippine frigate being destroyed by an unknown combat platform, and he came to the conclusion that the combat platform was a stealth warship. Radar and other conventional detection methods could not find him.

And now what appeared in front of his eyes was such a battleship. How this doesn't make him nervous.

"Captain, it is a Huaguo warship, and the code name on the side of the ship is 'Huaguo KT'. ”

Ruan Wanzhi's heart was half cold, and he immediately ordered to contact the rear base, report the relevant information to Lu's superiors, and ask for instructions.

Second Lieutenant Bai Chongbing on the patrol boat was also asking the radar officer next to him.

"This is a warship of that country, why is there no radar intelligence?"

"Platoon commander, the radar did not find the target, its appearance was very sudden, it can be determined that this is a stealth battleship, the speed is extremely fast, and its speed is more than 200 knots by sight. It's incredible. The radar soldier was shocked.

"Platoon commander, I saw its port number, it is my country's navy, and the port number only has the words Huaguo KT. There is no numbering. A soldier observing the high-speed warship with a telescope reported to Bai Chongbing.

Bai Chongbing took the binoculars from the soldier's hands, held them on his eyes and observed them for a few seconds, and then commanded the signal soldiers.

"Call in the Navy band and try to get in touch with it. Confirm its troop number. ”

The Signal Corps began to call the supership in an excited voice.

…

The super battleship slowed down and circled around the area where the two sides were entangled, enveloping all thirteen ships. The speed stunned the fishermen on ten fishing boats, as well as the soldiers and police of both countries. It's a ship here, and it's supposed to be an airplane flying on the water.

The unmanned helicopter on board the warship had already taken off, and it came to the sky above the three law enforcement ships and sent back clear real-time images to the super warship.

After carefully observing the situation at the scene, Chen Yuxing issued the first order to the Chinese patrol boat. His voice came from the tweeters of the helicopter hovering over the three ships.

"Ships on both sides, listen, now order you to disengage immediately and keep a safe distance. Again, disengage immediately and keep a safe distance. ”

At the same time, the contact between the patrol boat and the super battleship had been connected, and Chen Yuxing took the microphone and gave an order to Bai Chongbing on the opposite side.

"Second Lieutenant Bai, I am Lieutenant General Chen Yuxing, commander of the Chinese Aerospace Forces, and now you are under my command. ”

At the moment when the wireless communication was connected, Bai Chongbing was really excited, just now, he couldn't use weapons, not only was he extremely depressed, but there was also an accident that the two ships could collide at any time. But now it's different, and with the addition of this strange warship, the situation has changed radically. We can occupy the absolute top.

When he heard the sound of announcing his home on the intercom, he immediately jumped down from the bridge and saluted, regardless of whether the other party could see it or not. His actions startled the signal and radar crews in the cab, and they hurriedly got up from their seats and saluted. (To be continued......)
