Chapter 448: Battle of Chigua Reef

"Report to the commander, the submarine did not find any signs, it is an armed fishing boat of unknown nationality." The signal soldier replied a little nervously,

"Damn, then what else do you ask, sink it directly." Li Baoqiang said indignantly, the little armed fishing boat dared to shell the submarine, purely looking for death,

On this voyage, the ship formation did not fly the national flag and military flag of the previous life, but only replaced the military flag with a red flag without any pattern, so the other party did not know where the submarine sailing on the surface came from, and it was forgivable.

But the other party actually fired, I can't help but say how arrogant the other party is, fishing boats, no matter how armed the fishing boats are, they are also fishing boats, and they are not small, this is what makes Li Baoqiang and Konoha the most angry,

"Commander, wait a minute, submarines will use torpedoes to sink them, it's too wasteful to sink fishing boats, let the 131 ship guns open."

Konoha suggested,

"Kill the chicken with a knife, order the submarine to sink and evade, and the 131 ship will speed up its voyage and be sure to sink the other party." Li Baoqiang issued the first naval battle order,

"Yes."

"Combat alert." Konoha calmly gave the battle order,

The 131 ship entered the combat state in the continuous bell signal, the soldiers rushed to the battle position, took off their gun jackets, adjusted the height of the gun barrel and rotated, the damage management team prepared for the loss of life in accordance with the order, and the lookout post and the running sight battle position were nervously looking around, looking for the target,

"Where is Chigua Reef, what enemies can there be in this place?" Li Baoqiang saw that Konoha finished giving the order and asked,

Konoha invited Li Baoqiang to come to the chart room, pointed to a small dot on the chart and said, "Oh, this is Chigua Reef." ”

Li Baoqiang lowered his head and looked carefully, only to find the three words of Chigua Reef,

"Chigua Reef is east of Fiery Cross Reef, is a small atoll at the southwest end of Jiuzhang Reef, about 5000m long, about 400m wide, exposed at low tide, because there is a kind of red sea cucumber that looks like a melon grows on the underwater reef, so it is called Chigua Reef."

"I see, I don't know who the other party is."

Li Baoqiang asked Konoha, Konoha is an old navy, and at this time Li Baoqiang bet all his hopes on Konoha,

"Hehe, boss, don't be nervous, little armed fishing boats, no problem, I'll let them come and go."

Konoha is arrogant and has his arrogant capital, and the 131 ship's 130 main gun is not vegetarian, and a single cannon can blow the fishing boat to pieces.

"Oh, I'm looking forward to a naval battle, who do you say the other side is?" Li Baoqiang rubbed his nose and said,

"I analyze that it is Vietnamese, or the Philippines, or Malaysia, or in short, the surrounding countries around here."

"It's them, a bunch of monkeys who don't know how to be virtuous, not fully evolved tropical monkeys."

Li Baoqiang smiled, Konoha trembled, this scene is very familiar, I saw it once in Konoha, Japan,

This time Li Baoqiang's sinister smile, Konoha seemed to see another killing god open his mouth and laugh, the other party is dead, Konoha thought,

The 131 ship arrived at the sea where the submarine was shelled, but found that there were no armed fishing boats in the field of vision, and a black dot in the northwest was far away.

"Damn, it's Vietnamese, ran away."

Konoha immediately guessed that the armed fishing boat was Vietnamese, and only the Vietnamese would flee westward, which was their land.

"Commander, catch up."

"Forget it, write down this account first, sooner or later you will kill all the Vietnamese devils, these ungrateful things."

Li Baoqiang gritted his teeth and said,

"Then let's keep sailing."

"Well, this, the formation continues to sail, the 131 ship and the 901 landing ship stay, I want to swear sovereignty at Chigua Reef."

Li Baoqiang was silent for a while and made a decision,

"Yes." Konoha is a good executor, Li Baoqiang, as the commander of the formation, has the right to make any decisions, just do a good job as an executor,

The tanker and other ships continued to move forward, and the landing ship also had four anti-aircraft guns, which were enough to protect the tanker's safety,

Since there were no shoals in the sea area on the west side of Chigua Reef, which was not conducive to the landing of small boats, the 131 ships and 901 landing ships moved to the outer side of the shallow waters on the east side of Chigua Reef and began to prepare for landing.

The starting point of this arrangement is to facilitate the landing of the dinghy, but it is still not well considered.

On the afternoon of November 14, the 131 destroyer lowered its dinghy and organized personnel to board the Chigua Reef and planted a red flag on the Chigua Reef.

The red melon reef is a dry reef, and the tide at this time, the red melon reef is mostly covered in the seawater.

Standing waist-deep in the water, the little soldier Du Xianghou looked around and said, "Damn, this is the Red Melon Reef, the reef is under the water, what is the value." ”

"What do you kid know, this is a declaration of sovereignty, even if it is all under the sea, it is also our territory in China, and it is not allowed to be violated by others." Lieutenant Yang Zhiliang immediately replied that he was the deputy gunner of the 131st ship, and he was in command of the reef landing this time.

After Yang Zhiliang organized the landing, the red flag was also planted on Chigua Reef, and he was about to lead the team back, a team of 13 people, a sense of sacred mission filled everyone's hearts,

The radar crew of the 131 ship suddenly reported: "Three medium-sized targets are rapidly moving towards Chigua Reef at a distance of 5 nautical miles and at a speed of 18 knots." ”

"Damn, I found out so close, I'm going to shoot you." Konoha angrily scolded the radar soldier,

At the same time, he secretly regretted that not only was the radar troops lax, but even he only cared about the landing team, and did not pay attention to the movement of the surrounding sea at all.

In the field of vision as he spoke, three ships had stopped on the west side of Chigua Reef, they were landing ships, and ten minutes later, three small boats rushed to Chigua Reef from the side of the landing ship.

"Commander, it's the flag of Vietnam, it's the army of Vietnam, let's fight." Konoha saw clearly through the binoculars that the other party was the flag of Vietnam.

"If we can't fight, we can't immediately deal with the opponent's ships by firing our guns, then the fighters on our reef will be in danger."

Li Baoqiang immediately made a decision, or immediately withdraw the officers and soldiers on the reef to say that in Li Baoqiang's eyes, the lives of the soldiers are the most important.

"Commander, we can't lose a lot because of a small one, if the Vietnamese fire first, our ships will suffer a big loss." Konoha was anxious, what he said was the absolute truth, firing the enemy first was the key to winning the naval battle,

"Again, wait a minute." The melancholy in Li Baoqiang's heart is fleeting, he is gambling, betting that the Vietnamese will not dare to be the first to fire, because the Vietnamese have also sent a reef landing force, and the other party is engaged in a psychological contest.

"They have the advantage in numbers, send another dinghy to land." Konoha was silent for a while, and finally compromised, but immediately suggested sending additional landing personnel,

"Agree, do it now." Li Baoqiang picked up the binoculars and stared nervously at Chigua Reef,

"Be prepared for the ship's guns to open fire, and if there is fire on Chigua Reef, sink their landing ship immediately."

Li Baoqiang added the order,

"Yes." Konoha resolutely carried out Li Baoqiang's order, and the naval guns on the 131 ship and the 901 landing ship were aimed at the three Vietnamese landing ships opposite the Chigua Reef.

The 901 ship selected 25 people to land on Chigua Reef, bringing the number of people on the reef to 38.

On the Chigua Reef, which is only about 200 meters wide from east to west, Chinese soldiers and Vietnamese soldiers, about 100 meters apart, stood in a column, and the two sides fought muzzle to gun, forming a confrontation.
