The sea breeze in the South China Sea gently blows the Philippines and China, two ships that are only 150 meters apart. The fishermen on the Qiongyu No. 301 fishing boat led by Xie Dahai were really not ambiguous at all, they were loaded with bullets, their knives unsheathed, and they were stunned to face the big warship in front of the Philippine Navy's No. 532 landing ship.

The tranquility of the sea can be broken by even an inadvertent move on both sides of the confrontation in every minute.

Philippine Navy Captain 532 Captain Barayo was standing on the command platform, and he could clearly hear his heart beating "bang". He took the binoculars and carefully observed the Chinese fishing boat opposite. There are only about 30 people on Chinese fishing boats, and these fishermen, who have been fishing at sea for a long time, are like a well-trained army. Ten people with old-fashioned 38-style rifles and three people with American MI carbines hid in all corners of the fishing boats, ready to shoot. One of the men carried the rocket launcher on his shoulder, lay behind the sandbag on the top of the bridge, and aimed at his own warship. Baraio kept taking deep breaths to regulate his heart rate, not afraid of the broken guns on the Chinese fishing boats, but shocked by the spirit of these murderous and tough Chinese fishermen. There was not the slightest hint of fear or panic on the confident faces of these Chinese fishermen

"Look, Colonel! Chinese planes! Lieutenant Commander Yafikye, the deputy commander of the 532, pointed to the sky outside the command platform and shouted in horror.

Two "Falcon" fighter planes painted with the Chinese Navy's flag on their fuselages whizzed over the No. 532 landing ship. Captain Baraio is now on the verge of stepping down. He immediately ordered: "Reverse the car, break away from the confrontation with the Chinese fishing boat, and then return to port." "Leisurely everything, only this is great, it is better to provoke these fierce Chinese less.

"If you want to go, this is not your back garden, you can come and go if you want." Diao Feiyong, captain of the naval aviation unit of the South China Sea Fleet, who was flying the "Falcon" fighter plane, set up the radio station on the international public communication channel and shouted to the Philippine Navy's No. 532 warship: "Captain of the Philippine warship below, listen, we are the naval aviation of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and I am now ordered to announce to you that you have invaded the depth of China's territorial waters and endangered the sovereignty of the People's Republic of China." You must accept the sanctions imposed on you by the Chinese political axe! For the safety of your ship, I order you, and through you to order your subordinates, to turn off the engines on your ship, not to move, and to wait for the inspection of the Chinese Navy, and to accept the Chinese political axe's treatment of you. Here, I advise you not to make any senseless resistance and not to try to escape. As long as you do what I command, we will ensure the safety of your lives and property. Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious. ”

"Don't move, turn off the engines on the ship, accept sanctions, make international jokes, who do you think you are?" Philippine Navy Captain No. 532 Landing Ship Captain Baraio secretly thought in his heart, at this time he firmly believed that the Chinese [***] team would not do anything to themselves, after all, his warship did not do any substantial harm to China. Besides, it depends on the owner to beat the dog, but the Americans are standing behind the Philippines. China really dares to do something with itself, and the Americans will never sit idly by. So he ordered his deputy 532 Deputy Captain Yafikye very hard: "Ignore the Chinese, let's go back, I see how the Chinese dare us!" ”

"Americans, Americans multiple jb. This is the South China Sea, China's territorial waters, and our territory must be decided by us. No matter what country the ship is, as long as it enters the South China Sea without the permission of the Chinese political axe, it will be seized, and those who have no rules and do not listen to discipline will be killed by me! Including airplanes are no exception" This is the speech made by General Chang Ming, former commander of the Chinese Navy's landing ship detachment and current deputy commander of the South China Sea Fleet and commander of the Taiping Island garrison area, who participated in the Butterfly Island Battle and the campaign to liberate Taiwan, at the inaugural meeting of the Taiping Island garrison area.

"Damn, this Philippine warship is not only unruly, but also really doesn't listen to discipline. There's a last name, I like it. Diao Feiyong, a lieutenant of the Chinese Naval Aviation, said to his wingman: "I'll shoot it a few shots first, teach them a lesson, don't think that if the tiger is not powerful, it will treat us as sick cats." He said as he pulled his plane up.

Diao Feiyong and his two "Falcon" fighter planes pulled two beautiful small arcs from the air and returned to the sky above the Philippine Navy's No. 532 warship, and Diao Feiyong piloted his "Falcon" fighter plane, at an altitude of 3,000 meters, he aimed at the Philippine Navy's No. 532 landing ship, which was turning to the left on the sea surface, and began to dive and attack. He kept an eye on the sights, and used the 23mm cannon on the plane to continuously strafe the anti-aircraft machine guns on the Philippine Navy's 532 ship on air defense missions. After clearing the ship's anti-aircraft fire, he fired more than 60 rounds of 57-millimeter blasting and anti-personnel rockets at the command bridge of the No. 532 landing ship and the Philippine Navy officers and men at various gun positions on the deck. With the flames gushing out from the 40-hole rocket nest, one rocket after another dragged a long tail flame to the command platform and the gun positions on the deck of the Philippine landing ship No. 532, accompanied by a fierce explosion, those fragments of shrapnel mercilessly devoured the lives of the Philippine Navy officers and men on the No. 532 landing ship. The wingman who followed Diao Feiyong closely followed also carried out a supplementary bombardment.

In the blink of an eye, on the deck of No. 532, the pilot's command platform and various gun emplacements were littered with the corpses and wounded of the Philippine Navy officers and men who had been bombed and riddled with holes, and the deck was littered with fragmented limbs, human tissues and organs, and large spills of plasma. Philippine Navy Landing Ship 532 Captain Barayo was blown off his right thigh, and Deputy Captain Yafikye was hit in the right chest by a 23-mm machine gun shell and died instantly.

After teaching the Philippine No. 532 landing ship a round of live ammunition on the Philippine landing ship that did not understand the rules and listened to discipline, Senior Captain Diao Feiyong said very sternly to the Philippine No. 532 landing ship on the international public communication channel of the radio: "Listen, the officers and men of the Philippine warship, you listen, just now we only issued a warning to you about the consequences of not obeying our orders, and if you dare to move again, next time you will not be so polite as this time." We'll blow up your wrecked ship in minutes and bury you in the belly of the fish. I now reiterate my orders, do not move, turn off the engines on board, wait for inspection, and accept the Chinese political axe to deal with you. Don't put up any senseless resistance, and don't try to flee. Only by doing what I command you will be the only way to survive. ”

The ship's doctor treated the Philippine Navy's No. 532 landing ship Captain Barayo, who was lying on the command and bridge platform, with his right thigh blown off. This time, he really felt what it means to be strong and what it means that China's core interests are inviolable, this is not a matter of bluffing and scareming, China is not ambiguous about touching their bottom line, but it is really a bomb waiting! It's a real thing. He couldn't help but glance at the body of Deputy Captain Yafikye, who was lying on the side with a big bloody hole in the mouth of a bowl on his right chest. I couldn't help but feel cold from the inside out.

Captain Baraio pressed his injured right leg and groaned while ordering the ship's first mate: "Colonel Emina, you will take my place in command, order to turn off the developed aircraft on the ship immediately, no one should move around, and keep me away from the gun position, so as not to cause misunderstanding among the Chinese, the Chinese have a bad temper, but don't make the Chinese unhappy again." In addition, a report was sent to Navy Commander Gorasny that our ship was attacked by a Chinese destroyer of 2,000 tons and six of China's latest fighter planes in the waters of the Kalayaan Islands, and under the wise command of Captain Barayo, the 532 landing ship engaged in a fierce battle with a new destroyer of the Chinese Navy and six of China's latest fighters. We asked for reinforcements. ”

"Colonel Barayo, don't let them come for reinforcements, that will irritate the Chinese, and the Chinese will think that we are challenging them." Colonel Emina's heart was more or less apprehensive: "Besides, it's useless, the Chinese are too fierce." ”

Colonel Baraio waved his hand and said impatiently: "I have explained everything I should have explained, you are now the acting captain of this ship, you can do whatever you want." ”

There was a roar of motors in the "rumbling" sky, and a "Hunter" helicopter gunship hovered over the Philippine landing ship No. 532, broadcasting in English: "Officers and men of the Philippine landing ship No. 532, we are the marines of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, I now order you all to raise your hands, gather on the foredeck, and line up in a column of 10 people. The anchor chain group on your ship threw a cable at the Chinese fishing vessel 301 and was boarded and inspected and controlled.

Under the ferocious air strike just now and the current deterrence of the Chinese helicopter gunship, the remaining 89 officers and men of the Philippine landing ship No. 532, including the lightly and seriously wounded, all obediently followed the helicopter's orders to the foredeck. The militia of the Qiongyu No. 301 fishing ship led by Xie Dahai took over the cable and took the lead in boarding the Philippine 532 landing ship, and took control of the Philippine naval officers and men on the ship and the power distribution room, engine room, and telecommunications room on the 532 ship.

The LST1 tank landing ship with 2 122-mm "Tempest" rocket launchers in the Taiping Island garrison area of the Chinese People's Liberation Army also arrived. Fifty heavily armed PLA marines also boarded the Philippine landing ship 532 and conducted a comprehensive and detailed inspection of the 532 landing ship. After that, the Philippine warship, which dared to defy the "law" and invade China's territorial waters, was escorted to Thitu Island.

Received a message from the acting captain of Project 532, Colonel Eminado, about the fact that the landing ship Project 532 was attacked by a Chinese destroyer and six of China's latest fighters in the waters of the Kallayan Islands, and the warship was seriously damaged, the captain was seriously injured, and the deputy captain was killed. The telegram requesting reinforcements made Philippine Defense Secretary Teoberdo and Philippine Navy Commander Kirdinance feel helpless for a moment. The damage to a Philippine warship by a foreign navy and air force has never been seen since the Philippines gained reading power in 1945. What to do?

As a result, Philippine Secretary of Defense Teorbodo and Philippine Navy Commander Kildinance hurried to Maracanan Palace, the residence of the Philippine presidents on the north bank of the Baccin River in the Senmeigna district of Manila.

Carlos Pi Garcia, then president of the Philippines, was lying on a lounge chair on the balcony of the presidential office at this time and closed his eyes to recuperate, when he heard a rush of footsteps, and when he opened his eyes, it was De Bielyo, the adviser in charge of national security affairs in the presidential office: "President, Teorbodo and Kildinance urgently ask for a meeting, saying that there is something important to report to you." ”

Carlos Pi Garcia waved his hand: "Call them over." ”

"What's the matter? Why do you want you to come to me so urgently? In his office, Carlos Pi Garcia asked, looking at Teolbodo and Kildinand.

"President, that's right, according to the report of the first mate of the landing ship No. 532 that we dispatched, Colonel Eminari, the landing ship No. 532 was attacked by Chinese destroyers and the latest fighter jets in the waters of the Kalayaan Islands." Philippine Navy Commander Kildinance reported to President Carlos Pi Garcia while taking out a telegram from Eminado from the No. 532 landing ship requesting reinforcements from his purse.

"Oh......" Carlos Pi Garcia replied, silently looking at the telegram, and did not speak again for a long time. Then he said, "I think so, for the sake of prudence, let's discuss together how to deal with this kind of problem, which we have never encountered before." ”

Philippine Defense Secretary Teorbodo looked at President Carlos Pigarcia, who had nothing to do and was afraid of something, and said: "We were originally testing China's reaction this time, and since China has already reacted violently, we should stop here." To go to reinforcements with our little naval and air power would undoubtedly be an egg hitting a stone. I think it would be best to contact the Americans at this time and ask the United States to intervene and have the U.S. Navy in the Philippines go for reinforcements. ”

"Are the Americans something we can target?" Philippine Navy Commander Kildinance pressed the beads of sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief and said: "As everyone knows, we usually only use the United States to strengthen our courage, and it is difficult to say whether the United States can make a proper response to the interests of the Philippines at the critical moment." ”
