Chapter 348 Mighty, breaking through the first island chain and heading for the ocean
After a large circle around Diaoyu Island, the Combined Fleet began the primary task of their trip. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
What is the priority of the trip? Of course, it is to go south to the South China Sea and conduct confrontational exercises with the South China Sea Fleet.
There are two routes south to China's South China Sea.
The first way is to go west, then turn southwest, cross the TW Strait, and then, reach the South China Sea.
The second route is to go southeast, through the East China Sea, out of the Gonggu Strait to the Pacific Ocean, and then, turn southwest to reach the South China Sea.
The fleet commander chose the second route, starting from the present location, passing through the Gonggu Strait, entering the Pacific Ocean, then turning southwest, cruising around the Pacific Ocean, and then entering the South China Sea at Yu Dan.
There are still hundreds of nautical miles from Diaoyu Island to Gonggu Strait.
The commander of the fleet adjusted the formation of the fleet, and the entire fleet, forming a column, went straight to the Gonggu Strait.
After leaving, about three hours later, the lead ship reported: "East China Sea, East China Sea, I am Bohai No. 1, ahead, three armed helicopters of unknown nationality were found. ā
"Send a voice broadcast to tell them that we are sailing in international waters, and we hope that the other side will actively cooperate."
The loudspeaker of the lead ship of the formation began to work, broadcasting broadcasts in R, English and Chinese, and the content was:
"Our army is sailing in international waters, please cooperate!"
Seeing the opposing helicopter, it did not mean to fly away, but instead flew straight in the direction of the fleet.
The commander of the fleet ordered the helicopter to rise into the air and escort our fleet.
At the same time, the entire fleet was ordered to be brought to combat readiness at the first level. The radar communication system, the fire control system were quickly turned on. In the event of an attack, return fire immediately.
If you want to say that this Gonggu Strait is really not from country R, it is from ancient Ryukyu.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, country R invaded ancient Ryukyu and captured the king of the Ryukyus to country R.
Forcibly occupied the land of the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom.
In fact, before that, ancient Ryukyu was a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty, and paid tribute to the vassal state every year, and the vassal state was to protect its vassal state.
It's just that with the end of the Qing Dynasty, the country's strength declined, and the Qing Dynasty couldn't even defend its own territory, let alone its own vassal state?
Of course, the status of the vassal state of the Qing Dynasty was also gradually lost in the war.
In order to protect its vassal state of Goryeo, the Qing Dynasty fought a war with the R country, but the war ended in the defeat of the Qing Dynasty, not only did the land cede the reparations, but Goryeo also broke away from the nominal protection of China, became independent, and actually fell under the protection of the R country.
The Qing Dynasty in order to protect its vassal state of South Vietnam. War was waged with France. As a result, it was finally overcome. After the victory, a treaty was signed with France, and South Vietnam became a vassal state of China and became a de facto protectorate of France.
By the time the Ryukyus were annexed, the Qing Dynasty was already too busy to take care of itself, unable to carry out military protection, and was fighting with the R country.
The Great Qing Dynasty, even T Island, was no longer protected, and was ceded to Country R, and the Diaoyu Island was invaded and occupied by Country R at the same time.
After the victory in World War II, according to international treaties, country R, except for the four mainland islands, was to return all the territories occupied by other countries.
As a result, T Island was returned to China, while Diaoyu Island was used as a shooting range by Army M, and it was not returned together for the time being.
Ryukyu, on the other hand, was originally a vassal state of China. Originally, before that, President Rothf planned to return the Ryukyus to China.
However, the government at that time did not dare to accept it.
So, it was occupied by Army M and managed by it.
After the Korean War, country M and Japan signed a separate peace treaty. The administrative jurisdiction of the islands such as Ryukyu Island was transferred to Country R.
Incidentally, the administrative power of Diaoyu Island, which was originally a subsidiary of T Island, which was used as a shooting range by Army M, was transferred to Country R.
In order to ensure that Army M can cross the Gonggu Strait at will, Country R has opened the Gonggu Strait to the world's maritime powers as an international water, so as to facilitate the entry and exit of foreign warships.
Since it is international waters, the warships of country M can pass through at will. Then Chinese warships, of course, can also pass through at will.
Of course, this is not the first time that a Chinese warship has crossed.
Two years ago, when Chinese warships began their round-the-world journey, they began to break through the first island chain and head out into the ocean.
Especially, this time, such a large fleet, passing through the Gonggu Strait, it is normal for country R to send planes to monitor from a distance.
Anyway, in international waters, as long as it does not interfere with the normal navigation and training of the Chinese warship formation, let him monitor it, anyway, our helicopters are also escorting.
Of course, our submarines, still underwater, crossed with the fleet. This is something that the fleet of country R failed to discover.
And so, a spectacular scene emerged.
The formation of China's warships marched forward in a column, passing through the Gonggu Strait, and helicopters escorted the fleet.
In the distance, several helicopters of country R were a few kilometers away, closely monitoring the movements of our army, but they did not dare to approach.
Our ship formation crossed the Gonggu Strait. It sailed into the ocean for about two or three hundred nautical miles.
The command ships continue to have various situations, and all ships continue to carry out various temporary dispositions in accordance with the combat readiness plan and the actual situation.
Then, the fleet formation, turned southwest, along the edge of the T island, towards the South China Sea.
Along the way, the fleet practiced formation change, anti-submarine, humanitarian aid, firefighting and other subjects.
When the fleet sailed to international waters two or three hundred nautical miles from the edge of the coast of T Island, the listening equipment on the ships appeared and a communication call from the troops of T Island appeared.
"This is the territorial waters of the Republic of China, please don't get close, please don't get close."
At the same time, the navy and air force of T Island were dispatched to constantly reconnoiter the vicinity of the ship formation.
It is lively and lively, come to "escort" our army's North Sea Fleet and East China Sea Fleet.
In fact, they are just adding to the chaos.
However, their arrival, on the contrary, increased the opportunity for the fleet to conduct live exercises.
"Attention all ships, enter the first level of combat readiness. Personnel into combat positions. Equipment unsealed. Weapons at all points, ready to shoot at any time. ā
"The communication department should pay attention, the communication department should pay attention, record and record at any time, the call frequency that occurs in the nearby sea area, capture the wireless signal, and analyze and grasp the frequency characteristics."
"Our army's radio equipment is turned off and the radio is kept silent to prevent it from being monitored and monitored by enemy ships."
However, the navy and air force of T Island, also only on the side of T Island, from a distance, monitored the actions of the formation and did not take further provocative actions.
It should be said that the mood of the officers and men of the ship is still very nervous.
However, at this time, the contact with their foreign forces was also a rare opportunity for military training, and each ship locked on to the target of the attack according to the instructions issued.
That's a real goal!
Of course, the commanders at all levels were more straightforward and nervous. Because if the fighters are too nervous in any battle position, once there is a misfire, then it will really be a fight.
Because, speaking of which, this is still the high seas, and there is the freedom of our navy ships to sail freely and cross.
It is also normal for two hostile sides, in the event of an encounter, to spy on each other and to be on guard against each other.
If you don't guard against each other and don't listen to each other, that's not normal.
After all, as two political and military entities that have not yet been reunified, there are hostile feelings towards each other.
In particular, at a time when separatist forces are rampant on the island, it is all the more worthy of everyone's attention.
