Chapter 419: The First Wave of Air-to-Sea
The sea area of Yugua Reef is still full of artillery fire, and the 053 frigate that rushed to the beach and ran aground has also been licked by artillery fire early, almost all the officers and men of the ship have been injured, and the artillery has long been dumbfired, and the firepower seems to have decreased again.
This situation made the Vietnamese Navy finally excited, and it was already a great shame that one of its own warships was sunk alive by this small frigate, and there were other minor injuries that added up, which made the only two semi-Kotlin-class destroyers angry, under the orders of the commander of the forward fleet.
"Attention all, fire attack"
With the change from free fire to concentrated fire, the 053 frigate finally suffered a major casualty, and when a shell hit the only main gun of the 053 frigate that was still firing, the entire 053 frigate could no longer pose a major threat to the Vietnamese naval ships.
Seeing that the only main gun that could attack was also destroyed, the captain knew what that meant.
"All of them, all departments receive guns and ammunition, and we must give me the enemy's registered troops."
Then he also picked up his pistol and rushed out of the makeshift command room, beckoning to those who could continue to move.
"Anyone who can still move comes out with me! Although there are many islands and reefs in Nanhai, there is not an inch of redundancy, and our naval officers and men should swear to defend the territorial integrity of the motherland to the death, and they will have no regrets even though they have died nine times. ”
Inspired by the captain, he struggled to get up as long as he was able to move, either with a gun or a gun, or with a building on the ship that could still support his weight.
Even though he was physically and mentally exhausted, his eyes were full of strength and fortitude, staring at the pairs of soldiers who came down from the 929 landing ship on the opposite side. and
"Captain, that's the Type 63 amphibious tank we supported to Vietnam that year. I didn't expect them to use the landing ship to bring this thing this time, and the guns on our ship are out of ammunition! ”
That's right. This time, the Vietnamese had the experience of the last time, and deliberately turned out two Type 63 amphibious tanks that could still be used from Vietnam, and wanted to complete the control of Chigua Reef with the help of this island landing weapon, and at first they were afraid of the power of the guns on the 053 ship and did not dare to take it out, but now they see that the guns on the entire 053 frigate are dumb, so they swaggered out the things.
Looking at the two iron turtles from afar, as well as the Vietnamese soldiers hiding behind and accompanying the attack, the captain of the ship also had a headache, this thing is not something that these Type 81 automatic rifles on the ship can penetrate. It's really tricky!
Although the Type 63 amphibious tank is more tricky, the disadvantage is that its speed is too slow, especially now that it moves even slower in the reef that is tens of centimeters above the water all year round, which may buy some time
On the other side of this moment, the two Jian-74 that first completed the air refueling have already launched two C-801 anti-ship missiles under the wing, and they are fighters that have been refueled in the air and can continue to stay on the battlefield for a longer period of time.
The C801 missile is a high-subsonic anti-ship missile, and the J-74 can fly with it without afterburner in the light-load state, and the missile is launched from a distance of 50 kilometers. And then all the way to 30 km, 20 km, 5 km, all the way
Until the Project 859 Kotlin destroyer spotted these few anti-ship missiles at hand, and shouted R-P-G, ah no. The lines are wrong.
"Enemy attack, anti-ship missile attack, anti-ship missile attack!"
When the clever sailor spotted the anti-ship missiles carrying the death whistle and raised the alarm. It was already too late, although sailors with more sensitive ears also detected the four missiles. There was even a round of machine guns that symbolically fired a few shots.
But this could not stop the fatal blow of the four single-ship missiles, because it was known for a long time that there were six more 12 C-802s coming from behind. The first two J-74s did not choose the relatively safe plan of attacking a warship with two missiles, but attacked a warship with one missile, which may fly away and fail to seriously damage the enemy ship, but this is not a problem, as long as these warships can be left behind.
As a result, the four anti-ship missiles were each assigned one warship, and the forward combat force of the Vietnamese side had a total of five warships, including one 929 landing ship and four Kotlin-class destroyers.
But unfortunately, one of the Kotlin-class destroyers has been blown up by the 053 frigate and has gone to the bottom of the sea to feed the fish, which is only four warships, just enough for four C802s to divide equally.
The flight speed of the missile is naturally very fast, and they rushed into it headlong towards their own goals, and the first to produce results was the first C-801 missile launched by the long plane, which exploded directly from the side chord into the hull, after all, this Kotlin class is an old ship of the Soviet Union in the fifties, and it was originally a dying old man, where can it withstand such a toss.
When this anti-ship missile exploded inside the hull, it directly broke the keel, and with the harsh friction and breaking sound between the steel, the monkeys of the whole ship were stunned, and ran to the deck in a panic, hoping that there would be a glimmer of life to transfer to other warships, and no matter how bad it was, it was possible to swim to Chigua Reef after the warship sank.
In this way, the whole ship was in chaos, and the captain had the intention to organize a self-rescue, but seeing that no one listened to his command, he knew that it was completely hopeless now, and immediately ran to the deck with the other sailors.
When the first C-801 achieved results, the other three missiles also hit their own targets in a gap of more than ten seconds.
One of the missiles hit the tail of the warship, and although it did not cause a chain reaction, the destruction of the tail meant that the entire warship lost power and could not control its course, so it had to resign itself to fate.
As seawater continued to pour in through the opening, although the sailors tried to isolate the incoming compartment, as the water continued to pour into the tail compartment, the center of gravity of the whole warship began to be unstable, the stern sank, and the relatively light bow was cocked, and it was not known what would be the end of the war.
However, the long-suffering ship No. 857 was lucky this time, the missile did not hit the side chord, but directly hit the superstructure, and in the huge explosion, the superstructure was flattened, and the vast majority of the sailors were also shocked and lost their combat effectiveness.
But at least this did not let the warship enter the water, the bare superstructure continued to burn, and gradually stopped advancing with huge smoke, as for the shelling, it had already stopped, the turret in front was lifted at the beginning, and there were no live openings in the turret in the explosion just now.
And the last missile was headed for the 929 landing ship, this missile was just a dead thing after all, it faithfully carried out the order, flew to the middle of the hull chord, and exploded without accident.
But the structure of the 929 landing ship is relatively special, unlike other warships, the middle of the hull of this landing ship is hollow, and this section of the cabin is used to transport the login vehicles and soldiers.
But Rao is like this, and it also scared the monkeys on the 929 landing ship stupid, why did this Nima suddenly appear as a big killer weapon like anti-ship missiles, don't we all say it, both sides have artillery destroyers and frigates?
The monkey who wanted to cry without tears really had no choice but to pick up the radio in despair and began to contact the follow-up main fleet that was daring to come in the rear, and this time the monkey's follow-up main fleet opened a distance from the forward fleet at the beginning.
Later, after the two sides opened fire, although they rushed to the battlefield at full speed, the speed of the warships was indeed quite slow, and the forward fleet here was almost wiped out, and the main fleet in the rear could just see the gunpowder smoke on the battlefield through the naked eye.
As soon as Commander Nguyen Minh Thanh and the 929 landing ship connected, he anxiously asked: "What happened to the huge explosion just now?" Where did the explosion come from! ”
With a crying voice on his face, a handful of snot and tears: "It's over, Commander, it's all over, it's not that you don't do your best, it's really a rabbit that cheats!" Commander, kill me! (To be continued.) )
