Chapter 422: Collecting the Monkey's Body
After the most violent three waves of air-to-sea attacks, Vietnam's main fleet, which had been assembled with great difficulty, could be said to have been completely defeated, and the only two Vietnamese warships floating on the surface of the sea were no longer capable, let alone attacking, and it was certainly impossible to have them again.
In this fierce naval and air decisive battle, the only ones who can watch the entire battle from beginning to end are the 053-class frigate that has been beached and stranded, and of course, the Vietnamese 929 landing ship that has now lost its ability to act.
Seeing that the entire main fleet of Vietnam ceased to exist under the attack of the aviation in an instant, all the officers and men on the 053 frigate were dumbfounded, and of course, there was a trace of joy.
"Captain, we have won this battle! As far as I know, all eight of Vietnam's Kotlin-class destroyers should have been sunk here, and the largest tonnage landing ship is now immobile. ”
The political commissar with the broken arm is now standing at the first place with his old partner captain, carefully scanning the entire battlefield, this is the first time he has seen such a tragic sea and air decisive battle, this time the big battle is not known how many times compared to the 314 naval battle not long ago, and the natural battlefield is more dazzling.
The captain didn't have much emotion about this, he knew that the Vietnamese Navy had indeed lost this time, but so what, now was the time to clean up the battlefield and collect the loot and prisoners.
Carefully scanning the entire battlefield again, nodding and satisfying, he stuffed the telescope in his hand into the political commissar's still movable hand.
"Okay, my big political commissar, don't feel that the world is changeable, now we need to do a good job of dealing with the aftermath. These Vietnamese who fell into the water can't just sit on the edge of death and not save them, and it should be your political commissar's business to collect prisoners. But looking at your current situation, I can only suffer a little more! ”
After the captain finished speaking, he shook his head and left, summoning the daredevils who had just been about to disembark with him to attack the Type 63 amphibious tank. Although he has to get off the ship now, this time he has nothing to do with daring to die.
Watching the captain lead people to put down the surviving little sampan, the group began to save people, but the political commissar only looked at his broken arm helplessly, now I am afraid that he will be completely disabled, and it is almost impossible to continue to serve on the ship in the future, maybe just like the destroyed frigate under his feet now, he can't continue to fight at sea.
The entire sea and air stopped killing at this moment, and it seemed that the whole battle was about to end. Vietnam will also be at the bottom of the ranks of the naval forces of the countries surrounding the South China Sea, and the Republic will be ready to reap the fruits of victory.
However, the situation seems to be somewhat uncertain, and four MiG-23 fighters from Cam Ranh Bay are daring to come from a high altitude at the maximum sweep angle, and they are speeding towards the waters of Chigua Reef.
The MiG-23 used by the Soviet Navy was to fight with the American fighters, and its performance was definitely the best improved batch of the MiG-23, especially in terms of radar, which was even more excellent, and the Jian-74 fighters in the air were searched from afar.
These six J-74 fighters still carried two Thunderbolt 8 missiles after launching the C-801, and before the follow-up fighters arrived, they were the air power of the Republic in the waters of Gua Jiao.
When the MiG-23 searched for these J-74s. The three formations, which had long been divided into two and two formations, separated into a corner, and it was only a few minutes after the MiG-23 searched for the J-74 that the J-74 finally discovered these uninvited guests.
"XXXXX found the situation, four Soviet MiG-23 fighters from Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam. Now it's flying towards us, please call the command center to make a decision. ”
These words were quickly heard by the forward command center of naval aviation on Yongxin Island, and now the Soviet side is involved. This made the republics have to think about the actions of the USSR, now
Just when the Navy of the Republic was still having a headache for this sudden appearance of Soviet MiG-23 fighters. The radio channel again brought news from the front from the waters of the reef, and this time the news brought was not much less than the headache caused by the arrival of the MiG-23 of the Soviet Navy.
"Command center. This is XXXXX, our plane found that the American EP-3 Orion maritime patrol plane flying from the direction of the Philippines is now flying towards the waters of Yugua Reef! ”
Hearing this news, the entire command center was completely silent, the Soviets had just arrived, and the American planes were also following closely behind, and now the sea area of Yugua Jiao is indeed turbulent, if there is no time for the two hegemons of the United States and the Soviet Union to get involved, maybe the navy of the Republic that will be in place in more than ten hours later may still be able to take advantage of the victory to expand the results of the war, now!
There is no way, at this time, it is no longer possible for the navy to handle it, and when the situation is reported to Commander Liu, Commander Liu has no choice but to call the phone to the top again to see what the chief designer means.
And the meaning of the chief designer is: "Needless to say, the diplomatic calls from the Soviet Union and the United States have come to me, and I have just sent these two countries away." The navy has done very well, the fighting has ended before the United States and the Soviet Union can react, and now that we have the initiative, in a few hours the Soviet ships will be at the reef, and you can hand over the rescued Vietnamese prisoners to the Soviet side. ”
The fast and perfect operation at the forefront has also won a great advantage for the high-level, which has allowed the high-level to occupy a lot of advantages in the game between major powers.
And these Vietnamese prisoners are just selling the Soviet Union a face, and now the remnants of the 053 frigate in the waters of Guah Reef have no way to control so many prisoners, and food, fresh water, and medicine are not enough to support these guys.
"The American side"
"Ignore the U.S. side, the U.S. doesn't plan to intervene in the dispute between Nanhai now, they sent EP-3 just because they have too much fuel, and on the other hand, it can be regarded as a deterrent to the Soviet surface ships that will be in place, which is good for us."
Hearing what the chief designer said, Commander Liu didn't ask any more questions, put down the phone and contacted the front-line command again, and then contacted the combat aircraft in the waters of Chigua Reef through the front-line command. Thinking of this troublesome way, Commander Liu also had a headache, if only he could directly contact the most cutting-edge combat aircraft
Contacting the front-line command, Commander Liu gave an order: "Don't worry about the Soviet Union and the United States intervening, just keep the situation going now, hand over the Vietnamese prisoners to the Soviet side later, and then wait for our warships to arrive, during which there will be air fighters guarding the waters of Chigua Reef, you don't have to worry!" ”
Hearing that the superiors finally had an order, the South China Sea Frontline Command also knew what to do later, first urging the navy's surface ships to speed up and arrive at the battlefield, and then ordering the air tanker to take off again to go to the air refueling point, and the J-74 with air refueling capability took off to the waters of Yugua Reef to take over the first wave of attack formations.
This will be a protracted war, and without air tankers and the forward airfield on Yongxin Island, it will be even more difficult to maintain a constant forward presence of combat forces now.
And when the front line command contacted the 053 frigate at the forefront, the latest combat order was also issued.
"First of all, I would like to express my appreciation for your heroic battle, but it is not the end of the time, you still need to hold out for more than ten hours, wait until our naval support units arrive, during this period, you don't treat those Vietnamese prisoners well, just tie them up and soak them in the water, and after the arrival of the Soviet Navy in three years, give these Vietnamese a headache to the Soviets!"
Hearing that the command was going to hand over these hundreds of people who could explode at any time to the Soviet Union, the captain of the 053 frigate was finally relieved, so many prisoners were really difficult to control, and now there were not even more than twenty people on the entire warship who could still move and have combat effectiveness.
Of course, hand over the people to the Soviet side, but not without gains: "What to do with the immobile 929 landing ship on the opposite side of Vietnam?" This landing ship can still be towed away if it wants to, are we going to leave it behind? ”
Hearing that Vietnam's 929 landing ship survived two battles, Hainan's command was also happy, and after a deep sigh, he immediately gave instructions.
"Having said that, the Soviet Union can only take those prisoners, and the rest will be left for us, although this landing ship is different from our navy, and it cannot be captured and joined our navy, but such a big guy is better than living in a stilted building on the melon reef! Leave it to me and leave a good thing for the future reef guarding comrades! ”
It turned out that Hainan still had this plan, and the captain of the 053 frigate here agreed to come down.
"Okay, I'll leave this thing behind!" (To be continued.) )
