Chapter 764: Awesome Eastern Union Naval Aviation!
Zeng Weijie didn't say anything more to Prabhacarando, sat down on the edge of the bed, sat in a standard military sitting position, put his hands lightly on his knees, and gently lowered his eyelids, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate.
It's been more than half a year, to be precise, this time I have been away from Donglian for 217 days.
When he set out, he led a small detachment belonging to the Tiger Special Operations Brigade of the Northern Military Region of the National Defense Force, with a total of 15 comrades-in-arms. Only a dozen of them, three of their comrades, have fallen forever in the same forest where the Tamils lived, and their bodies cannot even be brought back, including any relics that can represent the identities of the three fallen comrades.
During these more than 200 days, Zeng Weijie and his comrades-in-arms served as mercenaries of the Rock, assisting the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam led by Prabhakaran in their unremitting armed struggle against the Sri Lankan-Indian government forces for national independence and liberation.
Zeng Weijie didn't know what politics was, but he was a qualified professional soldier. He deeply understood the principle that it was the duty of heaven and man to carry out orders.
Sometimes, when he sees the nearly half of the female members of the LTTE, Zeng Weijie admires the unwavering faith in the hearts of these Tamils.
LTTE is extremely strict in its membership requirements. All members are not allowed to smoke, drink, fall in love and marry without permission. Only women who have reached the age of 24 and men who have reached the age of 28 can marry and start a family. To date, the LTTE has more than 5,000 members, half of whom are women. All members join the organization without any remuneration and solely by their faith.
The LTTE's main combat force is the Black Tiger Death Squad, which was taken over in 1978 by the Rock Mercenaries and specializes in intelligence gathering and conducting special operations. All of its equipment is basically the same as that of the Rock Mercenaries, and it is also equipped with a small number of Tiger I main battle tanks, TK82 tracked armored personnel carriers, TK83 self-propelled guns, Stinger anti-aircraft missiles, and small river patrol gunboats.
Unlike the LTTE in history, the LTTE led by Prabhakaran has been mentored and trained by the Rock Mercenaries. Instead of engaging in suicidal violence such as urban bombings, poisoning, and shootings, which were clearly suspected of being terrorists, they engaged in organized and planned guerrilla warfare against government forces, and the strategic idea of encircling the cities from the countryside was introduced, which left the government forces exhausted by pursuing and maneuvering.
Perhaps it is the success of the LTTE in recent years that has completely angered Indian President Kiani. This time, India has mobilized the main forces of the three arms of the army, navy and air force to cooperate with the Sri Lankan government army. With a total force of more than 100,000 troops, they launched a dragnet encirclement and suppression of the Jaffna Peninsula occupied by the LTTE.
After learning of this major operation of the Indian military, the intelligence agency of the Eastern Union immediately reported to Yang Weiping for instructions.
Considering that the LTTE is an important pawn of the Eastern Union Control of Sri Lanka, Yang Weiping made a very decisive decision to transfer special forces from the National Defense Forces to form a number of capable squads to enter Sri Lanka in the name of the Panshi mercenaries to support the Tamil people's just anti-encirclement and suppression struggle for the cause of national independence and liberation.
The main task of the 15-sub-detachment commanded by Zeng Weijie is to further improve the overall military quality of LTTE members and to appropriately cooperate with the Black Tiger Death Squad in guerrilla warfare against the Sri Lankan-Indian coalition.
Zeng Weijie knows. The other teams did not penetrate deep into the Northern Province of Sri Lanka, and the location of their missions and activities was beyond his purview.
But there is one thing Zeng Weijie can affirm is that the soldiers of the Eastern Union have shed blood and sweat on the road of fighting for the cause of national independence and liberation for the Tamils!
Of course, Zeng Weijie does not want the Tamils to become white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with the Vietnamese monkeys in the future.
"Knock knock! knock! knock!" After five rhythmic knocks on the door, Cheng Gang's loud voice came: "Captain Zeng, don't have a cat inside, I promise that nothing will happen here, come out and take a look." How lively it is out there!"
When the locked door of the container room was just knocked on, Zeng Weijie subconsciously quickly took out the safety of the HK416 assault rifle he was carrying with him and opened it. And make corresponding covert attack tactical actions on the edge of the bed.
When he moved, Prabhakaran was so frightened that Prabhakaran quickly rolled out of bed to under the bed on the other side.
It wasn't until Cheng Gang's loud voice sounded that Zeng Weijie made a gesture to Prabhakaran that he was okay, please rest assured.
Turning off the safety of the assault rifle, Zeng Weijie held the HK416 in his hand, pointed the muzzle down, and strode towards the door. "Lao Cheng, it can't be that reinforcements from the Indian Coast Guard have arrived, right?"
"Hahaha! Sure enough, he is worthy of being the elite of the Wehrmacht, and this guess is right. Cheng Gang smiled arrogantly: "An Il-38 anti-submarine patrol plane is here, but our reinforcements will also arrive soon." It was less than fifty nautical miles from our position, and two armed anti-submarine helicopters were sent over to provide us with air protection. ”
Fifty nautical miles, which is completely within the attack range of the Irrawaddy-class missile frigates. Zeng Weijie really let go of his long-hanging heart at this time. After knowing that the Eastern Union Navy had sent two Irrawaddy-class river missile frigates to meet him, Zeng Weijie had been silently calculating the time of the battleship's arrival in his heart.
Now, I don't have to worry about being forcibly intercepted and searched by the Indian coast guard or navy.
Unless India wants to unilaterally provoke a military conflict with the Eastern Union, the Indian Navy should not send the "Virat" aircraft carrier battle group over to have another naval confrontation with the Eastern Union Navy. That would simply add diplomatic pressure to the Indian authorities.
In the night sky, two WZ-10H anti-submarine helicopters, one in front and one in the rear, were steadily controlled below 30 meters above sea level, and their flight speed reached more than 350 kilometers per hour.
Looking at the container ship with flames and thickening on the sea in front of him from a distance, Liu Xing, the pilot of the WZ-10H anti-submarine helicopter with fuselage number 3-101, adjusted the call line to the in-flight communication channel and asked loudly: "Arrive in three minutes, major, you can prepare for the plane to land!"
With his eyes firmly fixed on the sea in front of him, the co-pilot Wang Hongbing was obviously a little nervous and asked, "Lao Liu, we won't be late, will we?"
"As long as Ah San's coast guard hasn't boarded the ship, it's not too late for us!" Liu Xing said comfortingly: "In this case, those Indian Ah San should not dare to attack us." ”
The helicopter flew closer and closer, and no gunfire could be heard on the sea except for the whistling sea breeze.
It is clear that the Il-38 anti-submarine patrol plane flying from the Eastern Command of the Indian Coast Guard has already informed the 005 ship to stop the attack immediately through the radio on the plane.
No matter how prickly Lieutenant Colonel Wahala is, he will not dare to disobey this two-tiered order from the New Delhi Coast Guard Headquarters and the Presidential Palace. Now all he needs to think about is how to get out of here.
Just as the No. 005 ship quickly turned around and was about to flee the sea area where the incident occurred, the roar of a helicopter and the stern shout from the electronic horn came from the sky: "The Indian Coast Guard ship No. 005 in front, in the name of the ASEAN Navy, I order you to stop the ship immediately! In view of the fact that you have violated international maritime law and security law by attacking a civilian container ship of ASEAN nationality without authorization, you must unconditionally cooperate and accept the investigation and interrogation of the ASEAN Maritime Agency!"
"Indian Coast Guard Ship 005, please listen clearly! In the name of the Oriental Union Navy, we order you to stop the ship immediately! In view of your unauthorized attack on a civilian container ship of the Oriental Union, you have seriously violated the ......."
With the repeated solemn shouts floating on the sea, the crew of the "Panshi 168" collectively erupted into enthusiastic cheers, followed by singing the national anthem of the Eastern Union in unison:
"The wolf smoke rises, the rivers and mountains look north, the dragon rolls, the horse neighses, the sword qi is like frost, the heart is like the Yijiang River, twenty years, vertical and horizontal...... I am willing to defend the territory and reopen the territory, and the Eastern Union wants to let the Quartet ...... Congratulations ......"
I don't know where Cheng Gang brought a few bright red flags of the Eastern Union of China, and climbed onto the top platform of the ship with several other crew members, shouting and singing while dancing the red flag with all his might.
Indian Coast Guard 005.
Lieutenant Colonel Wahala's face became very ugly at this time. Looking through the glass in front of the bridge and looking at the Donglian anti-submarine helicopter hovering in the sea in front of him, his hands were clenched into fists.
"Captain, what should I do? What now?" the deputy captain was obviously a little distracted, and asked in a panic, "Do you want to stop the ......ship?"
"Shut up!" Lieutenant Commander Wahala glared at the deputy captain with angry eyes, and shouted in a deep voice: "What are you panicking about! They will never dare to attack us! Listen to me, 7 on the left side, speed 25, direction 413, full speed!"
Finding that the Indian Coast Guard's ship 005 wanted to escape, Liu Xing pushed the control lever, circled over the 005 ship, and then flew away, and soon appeared in the air about 1,000 meters in front of the 005 ship.
"Anti-submarine deep bomb preparation!"
"Lao Liu, do you want to say hello to the other party again?"
Liu Xing sneered disapprovingly and said, "Greeting with depth charges is more effective than shouting with an electric horn." Listen to me right, prepare to drop depth charges!"
Wang Hongbing didn't ask any more. Soon, the WZ-10H anti-submarine helicopter numbered 3-101 dropped three depth charges one after another under the surface of the Indian Haijing 005 ship at a distance of more than 800 meters.
In an instant, a white wall of water composed of three rows of water columns appeared above the moonlit sea, blocking the direction of the 005 ship.
The dull explosion sound of the depth charge at the fixed depth not only stunned Lieutenant Colonel Wahala, but even Cheng Gang, Zeng Weijie and others of the "Panshi 168" stopped cheering and became speechless one by one.
"My brother is really awesome, and he dares to use force!" (to be continued......)
