"Pierce, what are we going to do?"

"I don't know the Dao, but I only know that if we attack at this time, it will be tantamount to death! Hall: What do they say? ”

"They don't know what to do, look, what can we do but wait here to die? The communication system is out of order, the radar system is out of order, and even our navigation system has to go back to primitive times, oh hell, if I had known that they had this kind of strong magnetoelectric interference, I wouldn't have let my baby come out. ”

Pierce smiled bitterly: "We are completely under the surveillance of the other party, retreat is a dead end, forward is also a dead end, our speedboats have lost five, more than 14 fighters, but we don't know where the opponent's helicopter gunship is now, I really don't know what is necessary to continue this war." ”

"But we don't have much time, if we still don't make a choice after 13 minutes, I'm afraid that what awaits all of us will be sent to the sea to feed the fish, and I came out to fight to kill the enemy and defend the country, not to be beaten passively."

"What, are you going to go it alone? General Rupert can't allow it, but you're in a good idea, count me in. ”

"Pierce, you actually want me to die? Hell, I can't let my baby get kicked in the ass, and the kids up there, and their relatives waiting for them to go back, and I have to get them home safely. ”

"Oh? So are you ready to surrender as the other side says? Well, maybe that's the best idea right now. However, I suggest you have better consult Admiral Rupert, or I suspect that you will be killed if you can't even do without the range of our fleet. ”

While Captain Arnold was in a helicopter to communicate with Captain Pierce on the Project 151 New Zealand and Australian Legion-class cruiser, two Aldair-class patrol boats at the rear of the fleet were beginning to reverse. And after turning a small bay lightly, it suddenly accelerated towards the shore dozens of nautical miles away.

The Armidale-class patrol boats are advanced in design and have earned the title of Ferrari at sea. At 57 metres long and capable of reaching speeds of up to 27 knots, the ship has unique features such as paperless nautical drawings and complex davits that can hoist small boats in rough sea conditions, as well as an enviable unmanned electromechanical system. Allegedly, the Armidale class, equipped with the digitized system "Ocean Link". The engine, oil pump or even any of the boat's valves can be opened or closed remotely.

It's just that what makes people admire is that the Australian Ministry of Defense actually allowed this kind of ship that should not have been involved in the confrontation with the second aircraft carrier group to participate, and there were eight of them as soon as they entered. It is important to know that its main role is only to carry out security surveillance and combat smuggling, smuggling and drug trafficking. and other illegal entry tasks.

Although its design is quite advanced, it is really not enough to see in front of the second aircraft carrier group. Not to mention the air supremacy, even in the face of the Golden Eagle helicopter gunship, he is powerless to deal with, except for cooperating with other ships with air defense capabilities. In the event of a threat from the air. He was almost only beaten. Because he only has 1 25mm Rafael M242Q "King of the Jungle" gun and 2 12.7mm machine guns.

Perhaps it was an order from their superiors, or perhaps it was a decision made by their captains themselves, the two Amirdai-class patrol boats had just finished turning and began to accelerate, when suddenly two Exocans spewing orange flames appeared from the sky, and in the midst of the loud roars and roars of all the Australian naval officers and men who noticed the situation.

When the captains and helmsmen of the two ships rushed left and right, and even slammed the brakes to try to get rid of the two missiles, everyone saw that their efforts were in vain. The two Exoces stubbornly settled on the two patrol boats, and at lightning speed they had just completed a turn. Even one of them was in the middle of turning and kissed the hull.

"Boom...... Boom ......"

In front of all the Australian Navy officers, two Ameridai-class patrol boats were inevitably hit by missiles in front of the crazy roar of the two machine guns on board.

The powerful destructive power of the Exocan missile warhead was undoubtedly revealed at this moment, and it forcibly tore apart the hull of the patrol boat, drilled into the boat and exploded, and the powerful explosion directly tore apart the hull of the patrol boat, like two huge fireworks, and the patrol boat was thrown high, and even detonated the shells and some machine gun bullets full of reserves in the boat.

"The speedboat rushed over to search and rescue to see if there were any survivors."

"Our ship hurry up to search and rescue, hurry!"

"No, large ships are not allowed to pass, send a few speedboats over, and find both the living and the corpse." At the critical moment, the fleet commander, Admiral Rupert, was relatively calm, but at this time, his heart was full of remorse. Although someone reported to him the movements of the two patrol boats, he did not let people stop them, originally thinking that they would probe the enemy's encirclement, but in the end, the 58 naval soldiers were killed.

Under the power of such a powerful explosion, he knew that it was almost impossible for there to be survivors on the two Amirdai-class patrol boats, unless it was possible that someone had jumped into the sea at that time, so he didn't even think about it.

This was the most humiliating of all the wars he had ever participated in, and he also participated in the formulation of the original battle plan, and even they were full of confidence that even if they could not defeat the second aircraft carrier formation, they would at least be able to make the other side retreat in difficulty, or drag the other side's footsteps.

Obviously, there were four submarines as bait, but when they came up, they all went out and did not give themselves a chance to counterattack, first relying on the superiority of the fighter group to forcefully interfere with all the surrounding wireless communications, radar, navigation, and all other equipment that may be related to combat, and then "captured" the two air groups of the Air Force.

Subsequently, the fighters who left more than half of them continued to monitor the incapacitated fleet below them, so that they did not dare to move in any direction in all directions, and they were even forced to stop where they were, because once they exceeded the encirclement drawn by the other side. From the air, or even from a ship that doesn't know where it is, it will not hesitate to launch missiles.

He had already reported the information here to the Ministry of Defense through the shore outpost, but he knew that the Ministry of Defense could not give him any advice. Whether it is surrender or send themselves to death, they are unlikely to give a clear answer.

Thinking of his beloved wife, who was watching his lovely grandson at home, his daughter had already run to register as an Australian islander without persuasion, and his son-in-law was driving a Canberra-class amphibious assault ship on standby, he was even a little grateful to his opponent at this time.

Because Carl? Moros didn't do it all, if it was a small speedboat or kayak or other life-saving boat. He didn't let people attack, as long as these little things didn't come over to make trouble, they could take a few people back to shore if they wanted. But the slightly larger ships were already considered his captives, and he would never allow these big guys to escape.

Rupert guessed this precisely because of this at this time, and when he saw that there were less than five minutes left and it was about to reach 16 o'clock, when the returning speedboat reported that the two Ameridai-class patrol boats that had been blown up by missiles were not alive. He had to make a difficult decision.

"Pass me the order: turn off the engine, fire control system, radar system, communication system, and all other systems on the ship. Put down all the lifeboats, if you want to go back, you can take a lifeboat or a runabout back, all ships over 100 tons are all turned off the power, we surrender! After giving the order, Rupert sat on the command chair with dull eyes, as if he had lost all his strength, and his eyes were full of despair, and he knew that his life was over.

"General, we still have a chance. Just wait for support ......"

"Cook, you know that we don't have support. Alright, give the order, we don't have much time, just let me be this sinner. ”

"General, can the United States still see death and not save it, their Pacific Fleet is not far from here, as long as we hold on for a while, even tomorrow, their fighter group can come to save us."

"Cook, don't fool yourself, even if the rice country has already entered the war, it will take at least three days for their fleet to arrive here, and what if they come? Their air force is not more advanced than ours, their fleet may be stronger than ours, but in the face of this damn electromagnetic interference, our fleet anti-jamming system does not work, and theirs is also unlikely to play any role, don't forget that we use the same equipment as them, and even the model on this ship under our feet is still their latest. Does it work? ”

Seeing his adjutant look dumbfounded, Rupert even had the urge to cry, how could he not feel aggrieved, the fleet full of weapons was empty, and he was originally full of interest and ready to give the enemy a head-on attack, but because the damn intelligence system did not keep up, it directly led to the end of not only the air force, but also the fleet that gathered most of the navy's combat ships, but also became blind and deaf in this sea area, and there was no way to think about it except to be passively beaten.

Even, as long as someone can safely lead the fleet out of the encirclement and return to the military port, he can give up the position of commander.

"Yes, it's useless, we can't do anything about it, they can't help it either, Cook, you can also go back in a lifeboat, I promise they won't attack lifeboats and small speedboats, and tell the group of bastards in the Ministry of Defense when they go back, our intelligence is too outdated, they are equipped with powerful electronic warfare aircraft in the aircraft carrier formation, I don't know what the first aircraft carrier formation was useless a few days ago, but the second aircraft carrier formation in front of us has, and there is more than one, let them find a way as soon as possible, if it really doesn't work, just make peace, Australia could not have won this war, because our equipment would have become an ornament in front of the enemy. ”

Cook finally agreed with Rupert's decision in tears, and gave the order to surrender to the entire fleet, and then saw that the lifeboats were lowered on the ships, but less than a third of them got on the lifeboats, and more than two-thirds would rather surrender with the ships than return to shore, because it would make them even more embarrassed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when hundreds of lifeboats and speedboats began to fade away in the southeast direction of the coast. Sure enough, the commander of the other party was not a cold-blooded guy, of course, if it weren't for the fact that none of them opened the sea valve, maybe the situation would have been different.
