【2nd Update】

Chen Li is a graduate of the 05th class of the Naval Command College, and now he is also an officer with a 7-year military career, and he can come to the Atlantic Fleet far away from the homeland and practice the spirit of "raising the prestige of our country" at the gate of the Naval Academy, which is the greatest pursuit of a naval officer, however, as a captain non-commissioned officer, he has not yet had the opportunity to serve as a destroyer commander.

But today was the first time he had the opportunity to carry out the operational orders issued by the headquarters......

Standing on the 230-ton offshore patrol boat, Chen Li waved his hand vigorously, and the four 230-ton patrol boats immediately swooped towards the sea level in the distance, but the number of Star-Spangled Flags constantly rising on the sea level still surprised him who had been mentally prepared, and he did not see a single battleship, and there were as many as seven American destroyers in front of the four patrol boats.

"This is the Colombian Navy, please slow down immediately and accept our inspection!" Chen Li sounded the whistle and did not hesitate to sail towards the group of American destroyers four times his tonnage, flying the flag of the Colombian Navy and driving the patrol boats of the Colombian Navy, so this pot should obviously be carried by the Colombian government.

On the patrol boat, the performance of the soldiers of the two countries is obviously enough to see at a glance, the indigenous soldiers of Colombia are obviously difficult to understand the madness of the instructors, although it is the Chinese instructors who have the final say, but it is not possible to really face the war head-on, and be fearless, it is not something that can be done by most of the half year of training, but the wartime discipline that is absolutely obeyed in the army allows these natives to maintain their last composure.

Although they are only a patrol boat and the only 23mm heavy machine gun, it is impossible to confront the destroyer, but this does not affect the strong self-confidence of the Chinese soldier at all!

When the battleship USS New York, located in the first sequence, appeared at sea level. William? Vice Admiral Schiller also saw a scene that stunned him, four patrol boats flying the Colombian flag were like sharp swords stuck in the American fleet, and several American Vickers-class destroyers obviously ignored the slowdown order issued by the opposite side, and also accelerated to prepare for interception.

The fog in the early morning made the visual distance between the two sides less than seven or eight thousand meters at first. Vickers-class destroyers have been pushed at full speed after seeing their opponents, and in the face of the provocation of the small country of Colombia, the destroyer commanders are not good-tempered, and taking the initiative to fire guns is obviously the most concise means, but it is obviously not suitable for use now, and their main opponent is Chinese, not Chinese lackeys......

Therefore, the 2nd Destroyer Detachment, which was on guard on the perimeter of the fleet, chose a more exciting way -- ramming. A destroyer with a speed of up to 35.5 knots and a 1,200 tons, even if it only needs to pass next to the Colombian patrol boat, the huge displacement may overturn the opponent's boat, even if it is not overturned, it is enough to make the opponent suffer a big loss, not to mention that at this moment the American destroyer uses the tactics of two ships to attack one!

"Colombian barbarians, are they all crazy? Die for the Chinese! On the New York, Colonel Simon, the shooting commander standing next to Lieutenant General Schiller, muttered in confusion.

"It's really suspicious! I think it should be a Chinese patrol boat. It's just a Colombian flag! Another officer immediately picked up the topic.

"These patrol boats are indeed of the Colombian Navy! The Chinese Navy has long eliminated these offshore ships! Lieutenant General Schiller immediately denied the unprofessional judgment of his subordinates, "Still. No matter who is on the ship, it is estimated that they will die ugly...... Order to drive out these nasty South American natives as soon as possible, our real opponents are the Chinese! ”

This judgment is obvious, although the tonnage of these offshore patrol boats is much smaller than that of Vickers-class destroyers, the reduced space obviously does not hinder the addition of more power equipment, and the speed of the patrol boats can be observed at a maximum of 30 knots. Compared with destroyers of more than 35 knots, there is no advantage at all, not to mention that the huge gap in tonnage is destined to only be crushed.

It's just that people who hold this point of view. It didn't take long for him to realize his error in judgment......

The warships of the two sides approached at high speed, and the relative speed was close to 70 knots, which means that in a short distance of seven or eight thousand meters, that is, in four or five minutes, from the rear of the destroyers, eight Vickers-class destroyers were clamped towards the opponent like iron pincers, and to the surprise of Vice Admiral Schiller, in the face of the huge impact of this thunderous momentum, he still saw that the four Colombian patrol boats were still facing them without fear.

Lunatic...... These two natural first moments filled the minds of every distant spectator, but in fact, for the 8 American destroyers that were preparing to crush the opponent, the situation in front of them was obviously not optimistic, the speed of the other side was indeed at a disadvantage, and at this amazing relative speed, in fact, both sides saw that the other side was rapidly approaching, and the space for both sides to adjust was extremely limited!

However, the four Colombian patrol boats were obviously premeditated and quickly approached while moving forward, and in just one or two minutes, they actually narrowed the distance to twenty or thirty meters...... And this quickly put the 8 Vickers-class destroyers in a strange circle of choice! The relatively large destroyer hull is obviously unlikely to sail as close to high speed as a small boat, otherwise, the thrust of the battleship breaking the waves may also affect each other!

And if you don't close the distance, the so-called tactics of splitting and attacking are obviously impossible to implement, but the commander of the destroyer formation here obviously immediately found a countermeasure, and the four Vickers-class destroyers on both wings immediately turned the rudder to the periphery, and the four destroyers in the middle were intercepted separately, which is obviously a good choice!

But...... When the two sides changed their formations to each other, the distance between the warships had been reduced to less than 2,000 meters, but the four Colombian patrol boats suddenly collectively deflected to the right, and in a horizontal formation at an angle of 30 degrees, they were diagonally inserted into the gap on the right side of the destroyer formation, seemingly completely ignoring the American destroyers whose flanks were rushing at full speed!

It's crazy...... William, who was watching the battle in front of a telescope in the distance? Vice Admiral Schiller, seeing this kind of collision that can be called the rhythm of death, also has to admire the brain-dead level of these Colombian Navy, with the tonnage of both sides, if they collide head-on, relying on the high speed and the flexibility of the boat, maybe a few small boats can survive one or two, but this kind of exposed side to let the other side collide, the result does not need to be estimated at all, it will definitely be the end of the bottom!

Rear Admiral Wallend, a fleet staff officer on the side, began to think about the aftermath of this accidental collision, "General, I suggest that this collision be characterized as an accident to avoid diplomatic ......disputes."

However, something that shocked people happened inexplicably, the four American destroyers that were driving the Colombian patrol boat at full speed turned out to be at the last moment, as if pulling out the power, the hull of the ship actually swung diagonally, as a senior admiral, Rear Admiral Wallend immediately exclaimed: "What's the matter...... Could it be an emergency braking! ”

As a warship with huge inertia, especially when sailing at full speed, it is almost impossible to complete this kind of emergency braking, and in most cases, if you have to brake and stop, it is more safe to stop and anchor...... But this also requires a long distance, and to make this kind of full rudder, stop, and use the huge lateral resistance of the hull to forcibly stop the ship, is definitely facing an extreme situation!

Vice Admiral Schiller naturally immediately saw that the catty was also obvious, and several destroyers almost all chose the same operation, urgently steering with full rudders, and stopping and then hanging up the gearbox to reverse in order to disengage as much as possible! Instead of going as planned, go and easily teach the Colombian Navy dinghy!

"Bastard! What the hell are you doing! This sudden change made Vice Admiral Schiller can't help but curse loudly, just arrived on the periphery of the battlefield, in the face of such an insignificant opponent, the destroyer fleet has the advantage of the situation, it is absolutely unacceptable to make such a big joke.

The head-on impact of the American destroyer quickly turned, and hung up the full speed power to start reversing, which immediately let the four patrol boats seize the perfect opportunity, just in full view, the small patrol boat quickly passed the intercepting destroyer, and very arrogantly turned around the battleship again, Captain Chen Li waved provocatively to the American destroyer that had a huge hull roll because of the rapid turn at this moment, and the 20mm heavy machine guns hidden on the top of the four patrol boats were even more vigilantly pointed at the opponent who was close at hand.

Despite the absolute superiority in the ship's firepower, the huge hull roll of more than 45 degrees makes it impossible for the side fire on the US destroyer to be pointed downwards at the opponent who is arrogantly provocative, not to mention that under this kind of roll and inclination, it is not easy for the battleship to stand firm, let alone counteract.

A few minutes later, when the four patrol boats under Chen Li's command had made a detour and left all the way, several other destroyers who had arrived on both flanks hurriedly fired a few shuttles with naval guns and machine guns...... The Vickers-class destroyer's 100mm main gun, in this high-speed wave situation, it is almost impossible to complete aimed shooting, and the side-chord 75mm secondary gun and 12mm machine gun played well.

A Colombian patrol boat that finally broke away from the battlefield was obviously unlucky, and was still hit by a series of bullets when it ran more than 2,000 meters away, and the side chord was directly opened with a big hole, but it didn't seem to affect the power, and it still ran away!

The American destroyer formation did not accelerate the pursuit in the end! It wasn't until the Destroyer Fleet sent a telegram from what had just happened that Vice Admiral Schiller realized that the damned Colombian had made a 360-degree turn in front of the Destroyer, and then threw a few anchor mines each behind his ass.

It is naturally impossible for a patrol boat with a shallow draft to detonate an anchor mine a few meters underwater, but a damn destroyer will definitely not rush over the anchor mine, unless, the fleet commander is as crazy as a Colombian madman...... (To be continued.) )
