Chapter XXXIV Naval Warfare

According to the original plan, the two fishing boats carrying most of the special combat personnel of the K Military Region rushed to the predetermined sea area more than 200 nautical miles away from Camellia Island early in the morning, and planned to arrive at the pier of Camellia Island at 11:30 p.m. today to land on the island to meet the commandos.

While they were cruising on the sea waiting for the time to proceed, the multinational criminal syndicate and the pirates in the surrounding waters, who had already obtained information on the success of our salvage, were also desperately rushing to this sea area.

The ships that arrived in advance found that there were armed men on these two large Chinese fishing boats on the surface of the sea, and mistook them for ships escorting treasures, so they put the fishing boats under close surveillance, and prepared to carry out armed robbery when a large number of boats arrived.

When the fishing boats carrying more than 100 special combat personnel set out for the island, the boats of various criminal syndicates and pirates also arrived and launched a fierce attack on our fishing boats. Forty or fifty boats of various kinds, nearly 1,000 people, opened heavy fire on the two fishing boats.

Chi Mingtao, deputy commander of the current special operations brigade who was in charge of the response, immediately ordered the team members to spread around the fishing boats to block the enemy boats. The special combat personnel on the fishing boat fought hard, and since the purpose of this expedition was to wait for the assault team to receive it, the special combat team did not carry heavy firepower, only light weapons such as light machine guns, automatic rifles, and rocket launchers, and the battle situation was very unfavorable for the special combat team.

Seeing more than a dozen speedboats approaching rapidly on the sea, Chi Mingtao shouted an order, "Use grenades, grenades, and bazookas to blow up the approaching enemy ships!" With the sound of his command, a "boom" sounded around the fishing boats, and countless exploding water droplets rose around the two fishing boats. Five or six speedboats were blown up, and more than a dozen bodies were floating on the water.

Fierce gunfire and explosions rang out over the sea. Chi Mingtao was also wondering in his heart, "Where did so many outlaws come from"! He lay on the side of the ship to carefully observe and judge the situation. The besieging vessels were varied, including yachts, speedboats, fishing boats, etc., and the weapons were also very miscellaneous, such as machine guns, automatic rifles, grenadiers, and other light weapons.

In particular, the enemy's yachts and speedboats were extremely fast, often approaching the fishing boats and firing a few shuttles, throwing in a few grenades and then leaving quickly, causing heavy casualties to the special combat team.

Only half an hour after the battle began, the two fishing boats of the special combat team were already riddled with holes, and many people were killed and wounded.

Seeing that the battle situation was very unfavorable, Chi Mingtao asked the correspondent to send a report to the headquarters for help, and on the other hand, he ordered the fishing boats to quickly break through to Camellia Island. He hoped to rush into the island to join the commando team and rely on the island's terrain to wait for reinforcements.

At this critical moment, Li Dongsheng appeared in the nearby waters with a frigate and a scientific research ship. Seeing that the special combat team was in danger, Li Dongsheng ordered all the team members to go up to the deck and use the artillery fire on the frigate to cover the fishing boat. Wei Chao stood in front of the 76-mm main gun on the foredeck and tinkered for a while, and finally fired a herd shell, which "boomed" in the densely populated area of the enemy's speedboats, splashing huge waves and overturning four or five speedboats.

Qidong sat in the battle position of the quadruple rapid-fire guns, aiming at the dense boats on the sea and firing a slippery shell, more than 5,000 shells per minute, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 speedboats exploded and caught fire. Cheng Ru stood in front of the frigate's anti-aircraft machine gun, desperately strafing the yacht on the sea, splashing on the sea...

Wan Lin and Wu Hanyu were equipped with sniper rifles with a long range, and the two of them lay on the side of the ship and put them one shot at a time, vigorously holding the American-made M134 rotary tube machine gun with a longer range and known as the "God of Fire", spraying tongues of fire at the small black spots on the sea.

Only Zhang Wa helplessly looked at the M16 automatic rifle in her hand, and said to Xiaohua who was lying on the side of the ship watching the battle, "Brother, this time you know what it means to be 'beyond the reach of the whip'."

Seeing that the special operations team had come with such a strong firepower, the remaining ships quickly fled into the distance. Looking at the ships that were getting farther and farther away, the team members scolded fiercely.

Suddenly, three yachts with a large tonnage and were fleeing quickly, "boom", "boom", "boom", "boom" exploded violently. All the team members were wondering: "At such a distance, we can't hit them, why did they suddenly blow up?" ”。

After a while, a giant whale nearly 100 meters long suddenly rose on the sea. "Submarines, our submarines!" Zhang Wa and the team members shouted in surprise.

It turned out that Yu Qing, who received a telegram from the headquarters ordering the special combat team to rush for help, immediately ordered the submarine to move closer to the fishing boat. When they arrived, they found several larger yachts desperately fleeing, and Yu Qing immediately ordered a torpedo to be fired and sank the yachts of the three criminal groups.

Li Dongsheng quickly approached the frigate and brought all the special combat personnel to the frigate. Watching the scarred special combat team members supporting each other and walking onto the frigate, Li Dongsheng and the commandos had tears in their eyes, and when the last dozen or so sacrificed comrades were carried up, all the team members stood up and saluted in unison, choking up, and the scene was full of tears......

More than a dozen comrades-in-arms who ate and lived together and shouted in unison left forever in an instant!

Li Dongsheng looked at these comrades-in-arms who had left forever, and the pain and chagrin in his heart were indescribable. In the more than ten years that he has served as the captain of the special operations brigade of the K Military Region, he has led the team to participate in countless battles, but he has never paid such a big price!

Two fishing boats and a frigate towed a research vessel formed a temporary sea formation, slowly moving towards the naval base in the N Sea.

"Report, a huge fleet suddenly appeared on the surface of the sea!" Cheng Ru, who was standing in the wheelhouse to monitor the crew of the frigate, suddenly reported. "Sound the battle alarm!" Li Dongsheng rushed to the bridge with an arrow step, raised the telescope and looked at the opposite side.

A naval flotilla of two destroyers, three frigates and three missile frigates on the sea was approaching them at high speed. The five-star red flag and the naval flag on the destroyer at the front fluttered in the wind.

"The Chinese naval fleet! Disarm the battle alarm! All the ship's bow is lined up! Li Dongsheng shouted excitedly with tears in his eyes. The crew rushed to the bow of the ship, and the wounded members also helped each other from the cabin to the deck.

The oncoming fleet split into two rows and slowly approached Li Dongsheng's bullet-riddled fleet.

"Flute ......" The entire naval fleet suddenly sounded its flute to them, and all the officers and men of the navy in the battle position stood and saluted them......

This is the Motherland's Navy welcoming these returning warriors! It is the highest salute to these warriors who fought to the death and survived the catastrophe!

"Salute...!" Li Dongsheng shouted in a long voice, and all the special combat team members raised their right hands with tears in their eyes......

Escorted by eight warships, Li Dongsheng and the others slowly approached the dock. From a distance, Li Dongsheng saw Rear Admiral Liu Hai, head of the Operations Department of the N Naval Region, standing on the dock with a veteran with white temples and the rank of general. On both sides of the pier were two groups of naval officers and sailors standing neatly, and behind them were a dozen ambulances.

Li Dongsheng ran in front of the two generals, "The special brigade of the K Military Region has completed the task of seizing the treasure and reported to the chief", after the two generals returned the salute, the old soldier stepped forward and took Li Dongsheng's hand, "It's hard work, take me to see your warriors", Major General Liu Hai, who was standing next to him, whispered to Li Dongsheng, "This is the commander of this military region, General Zhongsheng, the commander must personally greet you."

The general came to the team members who had lined up to salute, and the old general glanced at the officers and soldiers who were covered in gunpowder smoke and the dozen or so martyrs lying on the stretcher, waved his hand, and said in a loud voice, "Warriors." My name is Bell, and I thank you for reclaiming the treasure for the Motherland. You have made my name with valor and fearlessness. In front of the enemy, you have sounded the death knell of the enemy with the guns of the Chinese soldiers! In front of the Chinese people, what you have rung with your blood and sacrifice is the loud bell of the victory of the Chinese soldiers! I'm so proud of you! Our navy is proud to have such a strong army as you! I command: fire guns, fire cannons, and salute all the warriors of life and death! ”

"Boom, boom...", "Bang bang...... The rumbling sound of cannons and the sound of neat gunfire echoed over the base for a long time......
