Chapter 471: Spratly Island
The Soviet Union did not have much interest in Vietnam, although the Soviet Union leased Vietnam's Golden Bay, and did not station too many warships, although there were also aviation bases, and the Soviet aviation was ordered not to participate in conflicts in the South China Sea.
For the Soviet Union, the key area is still Eastern Europe, and now, the more important thing is to develop the economy, and Vietnam's role is to serve as a logistics base for the Soviet Union's Pacific Fleet, and now, the existence of this base does not have much effect.
The conflict between Pakistan and Vietnam, although the result was that a few Vietnamese fighters were beaten down, but the reason was that the public said that the public was justified, and justice was usually on the winning side, and the Soviet Union's withdrawal from Afghanistan was constantly underway, and all of this required the cooperation of Pakistan, so there was no need for the Soviet Union to offend Vietnam for this place.
And the Western world, especially the United States, will not support Vietnam.
Don't forget that Vietnam used to be a quagmire for the United States, where the United States suffered heavy losses and its international image was weakened because of Vietnam.
At this time, the Americans will support Vietnam? No kidding, behind Vietnam, there is still the Soviet Union, and the United States, of course, will not say that the Vietnamese are defending their own territory or anything like that. Americans are watching the hilarious.
Of course, in addition to watching the excitement, the United States has also begun to look at the Pakistan Navy in a different light, relying only on a broken aircraft carrier, relying on two Type 42 destroyers and two conventionally powered submarines to form such a formation, which can go sideways in Southeast Asia, and the achievements of the Pakistan Navy in the past few years are very huge.
If Pakistan is reckless. In particular, if a large number of warships are imported from the Soviet Union, the emergence of a maritime power in South Asia is absolutely not in the interests of the United States! So, the U.S. is starting to re-examine its policy toward Pakistan, appeasement or repression?
Since the United States is holding the mentality of watching the excitement, the rest of the Western European countries. Naturally, there was no reaction, and for Western Europe, it was right to follow the pace of the United States, and at most, France jumped out and said two words that it should be voted on by the United Nations, but unfortunately it was only a few jumps alone.
At this time, the aircraft carrier squadron sailing in the South China Sea was riding the wind and waves and marching forward proudly.
The air force of the Vietnamese monkeys has already been beaten. For the time being, they will definitely not dare to move, so the next step is to snatch back all the islands and reefs occupied by the Vietnamese monkeys according to the original plan.
Of course, this place actually has little to do with Pakistan, and it really lands on the islands and reefs and controls the islands and reefs. It should be the officers and men of the Huaxia Navy.
The Pakistan Navy, just a military exercise here!
Two A-7 attack aircraft. Catapulting off from the deck, the A-7 may not look good, but this attack aircraft is sturdy and has advanced electronics that can carry a variety of air-to-ground attack weapons. Every time it is dispatched, it is quite imposing.
This time, the lower end of the wing, hung with ordinary cluster bombs, took off from the deck. Plunged straight to the islands and reefs occupied by Vietnamese monkeys.
The plane flew very low, and the exhaust gas from the tail engine almost set off waves, which looked quite spectacular, coupled with the unique noise of the fighter's ultra-low-altitude flight, what it brought to the opponent was an overwhelming momentum.
"Ahead is Spratly Island, as long as we are attacked from below, we will immediately counterattack!" Said the pilot of the A-7 long plane.
Most of the Nansha Islands are islands and reefs, and there is no trace of them at high tide, and they are exposed when the tide is low. At the same time, there are some large islands, such as Taiping Island, Thitu Island, Nanwei Island, Jinghong Island, Hongxu Island and other islands, which are not under the control of Huaxia.
In fact, this is the first time that the Chinese Navy has operated here, and in the past, many islands and reefs were uninhabited, and then gradually eroded by Vietnam.
Spratly Island, for example, is a historical legacy.
Spratly Island is located south of Fiery Cross Reef, 18.5 nautical miles southwest of West Reef of Yinqing Qun Reef and about 12 nautical miles east of Riji Reef. There is the dark sand of the Olympic aid in the south, and there is the Kangtai Beach in the northwest. Approximately a triangle, the island is about 350 meters long from east to west and 750 meters long from northeast to southwest, making it the fourth largest island in the Spratly Islands. At the northern end of the island, there is a cone-shaped reef with a height of 7 meters, and a natural waterway that extends into the edge of the island to a depth of 14 meters, so this Spratly Island has become an excellent port in the southern sea area of the Spratly Islands.
Historically, during the Ming Dynasty, there were already fishermen resting here, and Zheng He went to the Western Ocean and stayed here. According to international law, this is the inherent territory of China.
During the French colonization of Southeast Asia, they invaded and expelled the original Chinese fishermen from the islands, and during World War II, Japan occupied the islands. After the end of World War II, in accordance with the "Cairo Declaration" and the "Potsdam Proclamation", the Chinese government went to the Nansha Islands in December 46 to receive these islands, held a reception ceremony, and erected a monument to commemorate them.
However, in '73, the Saigon regime in South Vietnam sent troops to occupy it. In 75, the South Vietnamese regime collapsed, and the North Vietnamese army landed on the island to accept the surrender of the South Vietnamese garrison. The Vietnamese monkeys forgot that it was the Chinese who supported them in the first place to win the victory against South Vietnam, and in the face of these invaded islands, they unceremoniously regarded them as their own territory.
History once again proves that these clowns are ungrateful, and China pays attention to the grace of dripping water when the spring reciprocates, and these Vietnamese monkeys, the reward is to invade the territory of China, and as a result, it eventually led to a 79-year self-defense counterattack.
For a long time, the most important thing for China was to deal with the threat of polar bears in the north, and there was no time to take care of the South China Sea, so it led to the South China Sea problem in later generations.
And now, with the visiting Pakistan Navy, although it is only here to shout and cheer, when watching the game, there are often clashes on the field, which will affect the audience.
Now the same is true, the Pakistan Navy wants to exercise, or in the territorial waters of China, these monkeys, if they are obedient, if they are not obedient, then they will be like monkeys, with whips to teach them obedience!
At this time, there were more than a few hundred troops stationed on Spratly Island, and when they heard the roar of warplanes in the distance, they felt a kind of fear in their hearts.
Yesterday's battle, they already know, in the early morning, the naval battle broke out, their three warships, including the largest warship in the navy, were sunk, yesterday afternoon, another air battle broke out, as a result, their air force lost more than a dozen fighters, now, the air force, the navy, do not dare to move, looking at the plague god from South Asia from afar.
Declaring war on Pakistan? No kidding, the land of the two sides does not border at all, and if you want to declare war, it is also to fight the aircraft carrier Pakistan, can you fight? Don't look at the fact that there are not many carrier-based aircraft, but the combat effectiveness is not to be underestimated, even the Soviet Union cannot take advantage of Pakistan's air power, let alone Vietnam!
Several islands and reefs, in the last night, the defenders all ran away, but the defenders on Spratly Island could not escape.
Because, here is the military command center and administrative center of the monkeys in the Nansha region, and here is the level of the battalion. The battalion commander has received an order from his superiors to hold on here!
The roar in the distance was getting closer and closer, and the defenders on the island opened their eyes wide and looked at the planes coming from afar, their only weapons were the rifles in their hands, and the most powerful were the two anti-aircraft machine guns in the east of the island.
The fighter planes flew at an ultra-low altitude, this kind of momentum, brought the enemy the greatest fear, most of the monkeys, at this time, felt their hearts tremble, those planes, can bring death to them.
"Hit, fire!" A company commander shouted, this company commander came from the original Civil War, he was not so afraid of fighters, looking at his men like this, he shouted as he ran towards the machine gun position not far away.
"Quick, loaded!" He shouted as he looked at another person stumbling over next to him, shouting for him to reload himself.
By this time, the fighter plane was already flying very close. You can see the bombs hanging under the wings, and you can also see the emblem on the tail of the fighter.
"Whoa." He pulled the bolt of the gun, prepared to put the target on the cross-ring of the sight, and pulled the trigger.
Come on, Vietnam has even defeated the United States, and is afraid of a little Pakistan!
"Attention, two machine-gun positions were found below." The A-7 did not fly very fast, and the pilot could clearly see the situation, see the Vietnamese soldiers who were running, and see the Vietnamese on the anti-aircraft machine gun position.
The cockpit of the A-7, which could easily block the fire of infantry small arms, and the anti-aircraft machine gun underneath, was the only threat.
Looking at the machine gun position, the pilot of the long plane adjusted the fire control to the position of the cannon, and the 20 mm M-61 "Vulcan" six-barreled cannon under the left side of the fuselage began to be energized and would be fired at any time.
The HUD accurately showed the point of impact of the shell, which was pressed against the machine-gun position all the time, and the A-7 attack aircraft continued to fly forward.
"Da-da-da-da." Finally, the Vietnamese on the ground opened fire, and among several machine gun bullets, mixed with a tracer bullet, the trajectory of the bullets was clearly seen, and it flew towards the A-7 attack aircraft on this side.
"Fire!" The A-7 pilot did not dodge and, having spotted a shot from the ground, immediately pressed his thumb himself.
"Buzz." Stimulated by the electric current, the Vulcan cannon rotated rapidly, and at the same time, 20 mm high-explosive shells poured towards the ground.
"Boom, boom." The entire machine gun position was instantly shrouded in barrage, although it was only a few seconds, and this side had already turned into a sea of fire.
When the plane was pulled up again, on the ground, half of the Vietnamese company commander's body had already been blown up, the loader's entire body was shattered, and the entire machine gun position was covered with red blood. (To be continued......)
