Chapter 0016: Spark (1)
Fiery Cross Reef did not become the beginning of Yu's foreign war in the first place, as predicted by the outside world.
The level of the dispute between Yu and the ball over the island of peace has been rising. In the past three months, Yuguo's maritime supervisors and fishery supervisors have been constantly patrolling Heping Island, and after "invading" the 12-nautical-mile core area demarcated by the globe for the first time, the globe has been unable to carry out its long-standing and brutal expulsion policy. In the face of Yu's bold maritime rights protection actions, the coast guard of the country is exhausted, and even the strength to shout before is much weaker in the face of Yu's maritime surveillance official ships every day. Such confrontations and contests are ultimately compared to will and endurance, and it is up to them to see who breaks down and goes crazy in the end.
Zheng Dongming, the captain of the Yuguo Maritime Supervision No. 51, has been working in the East China Sea Maritime Supervision Brigade for eight years. After the Navy was restored, it was still reluctant to be attached to the sea. After coming to the East China Sea Maritime Surveillance Brigade, although it is not the establishment and standardization of the army, I have never felt relaxed and comfortable in the past eight years, because the biggest problem in the East China Sea Maritime Surveillance Law Enforcement is facing the Coast Guard of the United Nations Coast Guard.
Zheng Dongming understands that compared with the maritime surveillance ships of the Qiu Kingdom, the equipment of the Yu Kingdom is really not a level. The maritime surveillance ships of the globe are not only large in tonnage, but most of them are retired ships of the Navy, so they are almost not installed. As soon as that guy came out, piece by piece, it was not inferior to a fully equipped fleet. Where is this law enforcement, it is simply an act of war. What's even more hateful is that Yu's maritime surveillance ships are often caught between the maritime surveillance ships of the Ball Kingdom, and that gas is only known to Zheng Dongming and his crew. Every time he came back and saw the scars on both sides of the bow that were squeezed and sunken, Zheng Dongming always walked out sullenly without saying a word, and came to the small private room of the restaurant alone and got drunk.
With the change of the situation, the instructions issued by the superiors became clearer and clearer, at all costs, bravely defend the sovereignty of territorial waters, dare to compete with the ball countries, and drive away their ships with confidence. Zheng Dongming clearly remembers that on that day, a whole 16 maritime surveillance ships surrounded Heping Island to defend their rights. It is also strange to say that the ships of the Coast Guard of the Globe Country, which are usually arrogant, no longer dare to wantonly carry out dangerous expulsion away from the maritime surveillance ships of the Yu Kingdom. This finally soothed the evil anger in Zheng Dongming's heart. He thought to himself that if a few more retired ships of the Navy were incorporated into the law enforcement team, it would be enough for the country to drink a pot.
It was a sunny day. Zheng Dongming led the 51st, 27th, and 86th ships to advance in turn towards the waters of Heping Island, which they were familiar with. Today they were instructed to continue within 12 nautical miles of Peace Island for law enforcement patrols. When the 51st ship entered the island of peace for 30 nautical miles, the patrol ships of the Ishigaki Coast Guard of the Globe Coast Guard, the "Motobu", "Kudaka", "Kunisei", "Yonaguni", "Nohara", and "Mizushiro" were already in full battle. As usual, the ships of the ball country shouted. It is nothing more than "Your ship has entered the territorial waters of the country and has seriously violated the conventions of international law, please leave quickly." And the ships of Yu are not fuel-efficient lamps, and they immediately replied, "This is the territorial waters of Yu country, you have illegally entered our territory, please withdraw immediately." What's even more ridiculous is that Zheng Dongming once shouted: "This is our territorial waters, we can come whenever we want, and we can leave whenever we want." I don't know what this sentence will make the other party angry. Anyway, it all ended in the silence of the other party before. But this is not the case today.
When Zheng Dongming led the three ships to sail straight into the 12-nautical-mile range of Heping Island without any scruples, the opponent's "Suishiro" and "Kudaka" suddenly changed their hull attitude, and the two ships were in a state of flanking attack, sandwiching the 51 ships in the middle. At first, Zheng Dongming thought that the hull impact action had begun. But he didn't think that the patrol ship of the ball country turned on the water cannon and sprayed it directly at the 51st ship. Although water cannons are non-direct weapons of destruction, they pose little threat to ships in peacetime. But this time, the patrol ship of the country of the ball was too close to the 51 ships of the Yu country. At a distance of less than 5 meters, it suddenly hit with a powerful water column, and it was caught off guard, and the sailors Zhang Fang and Liu Yang, who were working on the deck of the 51st ship, were swept into the sea in an instant.
It stands to reason that even if it is swept into the sea, it will not be a big problem if it is rescued in time, but the patrol ships of the country of the ball did not stop the attack of the water cannons, and let the crew of the 51 ship of the Yu country carry out the rescue, and after more than 20 minutes of non-stop water cannon attack, the crew of the 51 ship of the Yu country could not even run to the deck, and they were beaten back by the water cannons as soon as they appeared. This drove Zheng Dongming crazy. He ordered the 51st ship to immediately turn its rudder to the left, and the bow of the ship slammed into the "Mizushiro" fiercely. Due to the proximity of the distance, the power of the impact was greatly reduced, and the "Mizushiro" was not seriously damaged. And what was just unexpected was that when Zheng Dongming's 51 ship crashed into the "Shuicheng", the "Shuicheng" did not avoid it. The moment the hulls touched each other, a ball of flames shot towards the 51st ship almost simultaneously. I only heard a "boom". In an instant, the tower of the 51 ship was pierced through a large hole. Fire and smoke filled the entire hull.
All this was carefully watched by the 86 ships not far away from Yu Guo. "The devil fired, the devil fired. Go and save someone. Then the 86 ship sounded the fire alarm. At the same time, the 27th ship also made an urgent report to the headquarters of the East China Sea Maritime Surveillance Brigade of Yuguo with a clear satellite phone. According to the emergency plan, the East China Sea Maritime Surveillance Brigade did not delay for a second and reported to the East China Sea Fleet Command that the Yu State Maritime Surveillance Ship was attacked by the armed forces of the world. And the East China Sea Fleet immediately activated the second level of combat readiness alert. One by one, the radio waves quickly arrived at the Central Military Commission of Yuguo.
In fact, Yu's "Dongfanghong" marine monitoring satellite has already captured this scene in the waters of Heping Island in the East China Sea. And all the images of the dispute were clearly transmitted. At the beginning of the conflict between the two countries, the East China Sea Fleet simultaneously sent 2 drones to the site of the incident and conducted a close approach. One of the UAVs of Yuguo is the "Xianglong" reconnaissance aircraft, the take-off weight can reach 7.5 tons, the maximum speed is 750 kilometers per hour, the maximum flight distance is 7000 kilometers, 25 million pixels of synthetic hole imaging technology, just a few hundred kilometers of water for the "Xianglong" as easy as playing. But the other drone is the latest development of Yuguo's most mysterious "dark sword" attack drone.
Speaking of the "dark sword" drone, it is the pride of the military industry of Yuguo. This big guy weighing 10 tons has a maximum flight speed of Mach 2 at high altitude and has supersonic cruise capability, and the maximum flight speed and comprehensive maneuverability at low altitude can also exceed the same level of technology of manned conventional fighters. The "Dark Arrow" should be similar to the fourth-generation fighter F-35 in terms of load and range, and the combat radius of the standard flight profile can reach 800~1000 kilometers, and the internal bomb bay of the fuselage can carry about 1000-1500 kg of load, and it can be mounted with 4 250 kg guidance * or the same number of SD-10 air-to-air * according to the combat mission.
Li Xiongguo and Qiu Guo once tried every possible way to get the technical parameters and performance of the "dark sword". However, under the impregnable secrecy work of Yu State and the blow of counter-espionage forces, neither Lixiong nor Qiu Guo has been able to touch the "dark sword" so far.
In just 30 minutes, the emergency combat emergency meeting of the Central Military Commission of Yuguo was held in the underground secret command center of the Xishan Ministry of National Defense. There were no more votes, in accordance with the long-established plan for striking the country. The Joint Staff Bureau of the three services of the Central Military Commission activated the strike order of the "first shot".
"Darksword" launched a Thunderstone-6 gliding guide* at a distance of 60 kilometers from the patrol ship "Mizushiro". Under the guidance of the "Beidou" navigation system developed by Yu Guo itself, this new type of "Joint Attack Weapon Outside the Theater" (JSOW) weighing 350 kilograms accurately hit the "Shuicheng" ball country patrol ship that wanted to escape from the waters of Heping Island in just a few seconds.
Looking at the slowly sinking "Shuicheng", Zheng Dongming turned around to look at the scene of the thick smoke billowing from his ship and the dead and wounded crew, and tears flowed down his eyes. He knew that a protracted and brutal battle had begun.
The news that the "Mizujo" was attacked and sunk by Yu Guo* also reached the Ministry of Defense and the Maritime Self-Defense Force for the first time.
Two destroyers each of the "Taidaofeng" and "Kongo-class" Aegis* destroyers that received the order for combat left the Shirakutan Naval Base in Okinawa. Two "Canglong" class submarines followed and rushed to the waters of Heping Island. None of this alarmed the military strategists of the Yu State.
What should come is always coming, so let's decide the winner!
