Chapter 417: Battle at Sea
Zhongnanhai, the conference room of the military commission giant
The chief designer with a face full of age spots sat on the main seat, and only those deep eyes made people feel the wisdom and decisiveness hidden in the depths of the old man's soul, and today this time in the name of the chairman of the Military Commission, many other giants of the Military Commission were summoned, which was a matter of discussion.
Seeing that everyone had already arrived, the old man finally spoke: "Now call everyone, I must have heard the general story of the secret personnel on the road, we need to make a decision now, whether the war with Vietnam should expand the field to the sea and air aspects?" ”
Hearing that the chairman has spoken, can the others be silent? No matter what, you have to show something, and you have to have an attitude to show it, which is also the following.
As the commander of the navy, Commander Liu naturally wanted to attend this meeting, and Commander Liu had his own ideas about the chief designer's questioning.
"Presumably, everyone knows the situation of the last 314 naval battle, and we have made concessions in the follow-up, but the Vietnamese side is obviously not convinced, and the eight Kotlin-class destroyers have given them a lot of confidence! If we don't solve the problem thoroughly, I don't think the waters of Chigua Reef will be calm, and the UN meteorological observatory set up in Nansha will not be safe and secure.
On the one hand, because of the functions of the navy, it is necessary to defend the territory, sea areas, islands and reefs at this time, and take this opportunity to improve the status of the navy and strive for more military spending.
On the other hand, it is the guarantee of the security of the United Nations observation post, as just mentioned by Commander Liu. This is a matter of the face and status of the Republic in the United Nations, if Vietnam really succeeds this time. Inevitably, there will be all kinds of speculation in the international community: You see, one of the five hooligans of the United Nations, could not even protect the security of a United Nations observation post, and finally witnessed Vietnam's seizure of the waters of Chigua Reef under the nose of the observation post.
So. The prestige that the Republic has finally accumulated through 79 years of beating the Yue Monkey is afraid that it will collapse in an instant at this moment, and the consequences of the collapse of this prestige
"I think this is not just a matter of losing face, I am afraid that there will be substantial land losses, you need to know that many islands and reefs in the Nanhai Sea have been occupied by the surrounding countries of the Nanhai Sea, and they have been more unscrupulous in recent years, if it is soft now, I am afraid that the surrounding countries will be even more unscrupulous!"
Another member of the Standing Committee of the main battle stood up, and his reasons were even more thought-provoking. Even the chief designer was moved when he heard this, and now the situation is indeed a little too tricky, and the surrounding small countries are indeed too jumpy.
"What do you mean, are you going to continue to have a head-on encounter with the Vietnamese side at sea? It seems that we are still at war with Vietnam."
Eat the waters of the Kuah Reef, on the side of the Vietnamese fleet
Excitedly, for the first time, the Vietnamese Navy felt that it could still be so full of strength, and the shame of sinking two landing craft in the 314th naval battle seemed to be still vivid, and the sacrificed "comrades" were watching themselves in this sea area.
Under such circumstances, feeling the blessing of the "sacrificed heroes", the Vietnamese Navy was inexplicably full of fighting spirit. The whole fleet was like a chicken, and they were eager to have a hearty battle with the main ships of the Republican South China Sea Fleet immediately.
"Commander, let's fire! There is only one 053 frigate on the opposite side, and there is really not much of a threat to us. As long as the four of us get on board together, this 053 will sink in minutes, so use this 053 frigate to comfort our martyrs who died here! ”
It was the commander of the forward detachment of the Vietnamese naval fleet who spoke. Commanding four tall Kotlin-class destroyers, he was confident that he could defeat the small 053 frigate on the other side. Just waiting for the order of the commander-in-chief of the fleet in the rear, he can swarm to make a contribution.
However, the commander-in-chief of the Vietnamese Navy here also seems to have some squeezers. After all, the situation of the land war between the two countries has already shown the huge gap in national strength between the two countries, and the navy
After thinking about it, I suddenly had a pretty good plan, which was also the safest plan.
"There is no need to sink it, you four warships firmly block the 053 frigate, just don't let it come out to stir up the situation, cover our landing ships to grab the beach and land, and try not to shoot."
Hearing that the commander-in-chief on the flagship behind had given orders, what could the four warships in the front do? I can only act according to my orders, but considering the huge advantages of several parties this time, this is reassuring.
"Understand, I will definitely fix this 053 firmly in this sea area, please land the landing ship quickly!"
Putting down the intercom, the four Scott-class ships here finally moved, and it was originally four warships in a "one" shape and side-by-side aimed at the 053 frigate, and suddenly changed formation. The four warships suddenly accelerated towards 053 in groups of twos and twos, and it seemed that they were preparing to circle around 053 in order to firmly limit the space for the 053 frigate's operation.
And the 053 frigate command room is also dead silent, the four Scott-class destroyers on the opposite side are comparable to the existence of the 051 class, if you shoot at yourself, you will definitely not be able to beat it, but on the Chigua Reef on the left, there is still the blood of the Marine comrades who landed on the Chigua Reef not long ago, which requires that you must not leave, and now this situation is unrealistic to fight guerrilla warfare at sea.
Seeing the four capital ships on the opposite side rushing towards him, the captain immediately ordered all gun emplacements to prepare to open fire, and carefully observed and analyzed the situation, until the observers sent another message, and then suddenly realized.
"Order, go at full speed, we must not let the Vietnamese Navy surround us, and we must block the 929 landing ship on the opposite side for me."
Now that they saw the movements of the 929 landing ship on the opposite side, the 053 frigate on this side naturally understood the thoughts of the Vietnamese on the other side, and the entire warship suddenly accelerated, and the sailors in the power compartment worked hard to squeeze out the power of the entire warship.
The chief engineer firmly controlled the course of the warship, trying not to be blocked by the four warships on the opposite side, and was ready to rush out of the encirclement of the Vietnamese navy.
The captain didn't care so much at this time. Connect with the Nanhai Fleet Headquarters again and call for support again.
"Hainan, Hainan. Here is the xxx ship, the Vietnamese Navy is in action. Four Scotts came to block our ship, and the enemy's 929 landing ship is rushing to land on Chigua Reef, and our ship is going to intercept it, asking for support, asking for support, requesting support."
Before he finished speaking, the whole person suddenly lost his center of gravity, and fell on the body of the sitting communicator, fortunately there were no major problems, and then quickly got up, picked up the microphone and continued to ask for support.
It turned out that the chief engineer was doing all kinds of maneuvers. Now is the most dangerous time, and the two Scotts in Vietnam have already detected the movement of the 051 frigate, and are blocking the channel in front of the 051 frigate's course.
Only then did the chief engineer yaw with a full rudder, and the entire warship in high-speed progress suddenly yawed with full rudder when it was advancing, and a large horizontal deflection of the hull naturally occurred, and the deviation of 6 degrees was almost a little bit worse and the whole ship was about to capsize.
Fortunately, in the end, he turned around, narrowly brushed the opposite warship, and then continued to rush forward without slowing down at all.
Seeing the warship run away from under his nose, the angry commander of the Vietnamese forward fleet immediately gave the order in a rage.
"Attention ships. Aim at the enemy ship and allow it to fire! ”
As the order was given, the four Scott-class destroyers quickly prepared to turn their turrets and aim, and then under the orders of their respective captains.
"Fire. Fire on me! ”
And when the main guns of these Scott-class destroyers opened fire, the huge sound of artillery resounded in the sea and air, and even the flagships of the Vietnamese Navy a few nautical miles away could be heard clearly.
Commander-in-Chief Nguyen Minh Thanh knew that the navy ahead had exchanged fire. Listening to this voice, I also knew that it was definitely the movement caused by the main gun, and at this time, I couldn't care who fired first. Jump into the fray and get it done.
"All accelerated. Rush forward and solve the battle as quickly as possible, the comrades who died in the 314 naval battle are watching us and avenge the comrades who died in the 314 naval battle! ”
When this signal, which symbolized an all-out war, was issued, the entire Vietnamese naval fleet became agitated, but Nguyen Minh Thanh was faintly uneasy, what was the problem? I always feel that there is something boring, after all, this opponent is really not easy to provoke!
While the rear ships of the Vietnamese fleet were rushing forward, the 051 destroyers had already received a second wave of shells. This is again a little more accurate than a wave of shells, especially
The sound of "boom" sounded, and the entire warship could hear this huge explosion, which shook people's eardrums, and everyone knew that this was a warship that had been shot, and they only hoped that it would not be a key part.
The captain who was asking for support heard the explosion at this moment, and even the headquarters in Hainan, which was far away, heard this huge explosion through the transmission of radio waves, and everyone's hearts were entangled, but surprisingly they didn't ask, and they all waited quietly for this response.
In less than half a minute, the situation was summed up, and the sailors who came to report the news reported loudly: "Report, the chimney has been shot, and the power output has been lost." ”
When this situation arrived, the captain was both happy and worried, fortunately because the shell did not hit too critical places, and it was not too serious for the time being, but the loss of power caused by the chimney bullet will continue to reduce the speed of the entire warship in the follow-up voyage, if the speed is slow, not only will it be difficult to grab the front of the opposite 929 landing ship, and it will even be easier to be set fire by the pursuers behind.
"Don't care, continue to accelerate, rush forward for me, and directly grab the beach and run aground on Chigua Reef, even when the fixed turret is to give me a fierce counterattack against the Vietnamese!"
When the news arrived, the chief engineer understood, and saw that the power of the warship was still declining, and knew what he should do, and he had to weigh that there was still some speed at this time to grab the beach immediately, and then it was possible not to be sunk, and the firepower would be output for a long time, which could be regarded as the maximum effect, and it was nailed to Chigua Reef!
Another yaw, the warship aimed at Chigua Reef and rushed over, and now it is not ready to intercept the 929 landing ship on the opposite side, but is ready to stick to it and wait for reinforcements, because just now the captain already knew the decision of the Hainan side, and he just needs to stick to it.
When the warship rushed to the beach on Chigua Reef, the artillery on the 051 frigate also sounded again, not bombarding the four pursuers, but attacking the 929 landing ship, now it is enough to knock out this landing ship, this 929 landing ship was injured in the 314 naval battle, and now continue to go into battle with injuries, I'm afraid the blood bar has not yet returned to full, and it is the best choice to fight this guy first.
As the artillery opened fire on the wounded ship 929, Li Kundu, who was the captain of the 929 ship, was about to cry.
Speaking in Vietnamese, he cursed angrily: "Damn, why are you beating me again, Lao Tzu is going into battle with injuries, don't bully people like this!" ”
Immediately, he could only order with a sad face: "Hurry, hurry, rush me, you must succeed in seizing the beach, after taking a few shots like this, this ship will really sink." ”
At the time when the two navies continue to exchange fire and grab the beach, the J-74 in the sky is also rapidly approaching the combat airspace, these are two J-74s on combat duty, they have auxiliary fuel tanks and do not need air refueling to fly directly to the sea area of Chigua Reef, and even air refueling on the return trip.
