Chapter 421: The Third Wave of Air-to-Sea
Solving this imminent crisis means that the forward fleet sent by Vietnam at the beginning has been knocked out of offensive capability, but this does not mean the end of the battle, although the four Kotlin-class destroyers behind Vietnam have various thoughts of preparing to flee after receiving the news of the 929 landing ship.
But this is no longer realistic, even if you want to escape, just at the speed of the warship, how can you escape the fighters flying in the air, and this Ruan Mingcheng has been entangled in various ways after receiving the news of the 929 landing ship.
The forward fleet was defeated, but the sailors who fell into the water and the largest Vietnamese landing ship that could still move were still in the waters of Chigua Reef, and the speed of the landing ship was notoriously slow like a turtle, and it was still difficult to escape at high speed.
In addition, Nguyen Minh Thanh still knew the huge speed gap between the aircraft and the warship, and knew that even if his fleet fled at the highest speed, it might not be able to escape the end of being caught up by the air force and sinking it with an anti-ship missile.
Thinking of this, Ruan Minh Cheng calmed down, and after being afraid, he was surprisingly calm, and first urgently sent a message to contact the country to coordinate with the Soviet Union, hoping to mobilize the Soviet naval fleet.
At this time, the Soviet Navy was actually the second most powerful existence in the entire Nanhai Sea, and the Soviet Union leased Cam Ranh Bay in Vietnam as a whole to establish a modern military port with large warships and warplanes, and their target was the US imperialist Navy aircraft carrier fleet stationed in the Philippine Subic Military Port across the South China Sea.
This kind of naval formation, which is used to counter the US imperialist aircraft carrier formation, if it is mixed into the current naval battle of Chigua Reef, it will definitely be at the level of the Dinghai Divine Needle. The air defense of the USSR Navy was used against the carrier-based aviation of the US imperialists, against the naval aviation of the current republics. It's really
I have to say that Nguyen Minh Thanh did come up with a good solution at the moment of crisis, but the problem was that the Soviet Navy was stationed in Cam Ranh Bay. How did you quickly come to support the battle in the waters of Chigua Reef? At least the support from the sea is not a big deal.
If Vietnam could give the Soviet Navy a breath and call the Soviet Navy before this battle, even if it was only to come as a spectator, it would have put tremendous pressure on the Republic, and at the worst of all, it would have been able to stand up and protect the last four capital ships of the Vietnamese Navy at this time, but Vietnam had not informed the Soviet side, for fear that the Soviet Union would stop their actions.
In this way, the amulet that could have saved the life of the Vietnamese Navy was also put at home like this and was not brought out, and he came out to find the Navy of the Republic to open the film without bringing the amulet. This is like pouring a bucket with a zongzi without touching the gold talisman, it is really death
Fortunately, after receiving the news, the Soviet Navy also understood the stakes, and did its best to ask an 8,000-ton Dreadnought-class destroyer, the Admiral Spinosf, patrolling the Nanhai Sea, to support, and at the same time urgently took off four MiG-23s stationed at Cam Ranh Bay Airport to protect the evacuation of these four Vietnamese naval capital ships.
Hearing that the Soviet Navy was willing to come to help at a critical moment, Ruan Minh Thanh also had a little confidence, after all, this is his own boss, the Soviet Union did not make a move in the last war on land, but this does not mean that the Soviet Union did not make a move in the war at sea.
"Comrades, don't worry. The air support of the Soviet big brother will arrive in half an hour, and the Soviet 8,000-ton Dreadnought-class destroyers patrolling outside will also arrive in three hours. Down with the evil line of Chinese revisionist capitalism! ”
With the support of the big brother of the Soviet Union, Nguyen Minh Thanh was naturally unwilling to retreat at this critical moment, if he retreated now, wouldn't the comrades who sacrificed in front of him sacrifice in vain? In his opinion, this is the last meter of the 100-meter race. Just hold on and win.
With this sensational speech, the whole fleet finally had hope. In their eyes, as long as the big brother of the Soviet Union came to their aid, there was nothing to fear. Can Zhongxiu still beat the big brother of the Soviet Union? How can it be
At the same time that these monkeys finally found a sense of security, the eight J-74 of the attack type carrying C-801 missiles that took off from Yongxin Island and the subsequent six also completed refueling in the air early, and they had already flown in formation to 50 kilometers away from the sea area of Chigua Reef.
This means that the 12 C-801 missiles this time can launch an attack on the follow-up fleet of the Vietnamese Navy that remains in place and waits for the Soviet support, and this time the rich reward can make the Vietnamese Navy happy.
As the 12 missiles were launched one after another, 12 long tail flames were pulled out from a height of several meters on the sea surface, which was a special phenomenon caused by the work of the rocket engine.
Seeing that so many anti-ship missiles were launched at the same time on the surface of the sea, it was the first time for these pilots to see such a spectacular scene, and with the constraints of the Navy of the Republic over the years, it was almost impossible to launch a single live ammunition in peacetime training, let alone 12 live ammunition at a time.
Looking at these twelve missiles, it was naturally beautiful and intoxicating, and these pilots also began to silently pray in their hearts that they would hit the Vietnamese ship on the opposite side and send it to the bottom of the sea.
With the launch of these 12 missiles, followed by a period of waiting, it will take a certain amount of time for the subsonic missile to fly a distance of 50 kilometers, but everyone still intends to wait for this short period of a few minutes.
The three missiles prepared for each warship this time are still very much expected, although the four remaining Kotlin-class destroyers at this time are on guard, aiming their machine guns and cannons in the direction of the missiles that may fly, but how useful can this be?
The Vietnamese Navy on each of the four ships opened their eyes wide, carefully aiming at any flying objects that might fly at low altitude on the sea, they were confident that they could intercept these missiles, and the subsonic anti-ship missiles in the middle could only cause damage to the unsuspecting forward fleet, now
"Look, there's a situation over there, yellow highlights!"
When the first sailor noticed the situation and shouted out, the other sailors also saw the row of yellow bright spots in the distance, and they knew what it was.
It was still very panicked to see this thing appear suddenly, after all, a ship of the same type next to it that only had its bow still on the surface of the sea was a bloody case, not to mention the one that sank to the bottom.
Seeing that some of these unpromising soldiers were trembling with fright, Ruan Mingcheng pushed people away with one palm, personally operated the machine gun, aimed carefully, and calculated the range.
"Fire!"
With his order, there was also the trigger he pulled, and the first thing that sounded was the small-caliber double-barreled high-level dual-purpose gun in his hand, and shells kept flying out from the muzzle, and the C-801 missiles flew away, but this C-801 missile was not an airplane, this thing was a missile, and the probability of an anti-aircraft gun hitting an airplane was pitifully low, not to mention a missile that was much smaller than an airplane.
Until the shells were finished, they still didn't hit the incoming missile, seeing that this missile was about to arrive, Ruan Mingcheng was obviously a little flustered, it was also the first time he did this kind of anti-aircraft artillery to intercept a low-altitude incoming missile, just now he might be able to stand and talk without backache, but now after he actually experienced it, he knew how difficult this thing was.
But soon, there were cheers from the side, and it turned out that it was another warship that used the method of concentrating fire, set up a barrage on the way of the missile attack, and successfully intercepted a missile, which made Ruan Minh Thanh also have confidence.
The cannon that happened to be operated by himself was loaded with ammunition again, and immediately frantically intercepted the incoming missile that looked bigger and bigger, seeing that the missile was getting closer and closer to him, the crazy Ruan Mingcheng steadied the cannon body and kept firing the cannon.
Maybe the heavens were moved by him and felt that they couldn't bear to let him, the commander who took the lead, feed the sharks without any achievements, and actually let this guy be lucky enough to blow up this C-801 missile.
As this close missile was successfully intercepted by himself, along with the huge explosion, Ruan Minh Cheng shouted out happily.
"Success, we intercepted this missile!"
But the good fortune was only here to end, the twelve missiles were intercepted by two of the four Cortling-class destroyers on guard, but this did not hinder the overall situation, and the remaining missiles still broke through the last defenses and easily burrowed into the interior of the four warships.
The excited Nguyen Minh Thanh first felt two small vibrations in front and back, which were the movement of the missile penetrating the side armor. This was followed by a loud explosion, with two missiles exploding one after the other, but it was already difficult to tell the sequence.
With this huge explosion, the entire warship was also shaken, and the crazy Nguyen Minh Seng was thrown high into the air, at this moment it saw the most beautiful and expensive fireworks in the world, looking at this beautiful scene, Ruan Minh Cheng felt the wind whistling in his ears.
Then he slammed on the sea, stirring up high waves that were his funeral flowers, and then sank to the bottom of the sea without awakening, he died very happily, without a little pain, but the other sailors were different, this kind of tragic situation was staged in this sea area, it can be described as purgatory on earth!
