On Thitu Island, the Philippine troops defending the island have long been in a panic, and the huge fleet of the PLA Navy is not far from the island, and it can be seen with the naked eye.

"Lieutenant Raphael, here they are." Corporal John Brown, who was in charge of keeping an eye on the movements of the PLA ships. Gonzalez, as soon as he saw the PLA hovercraft go into the sea, ran over in a panic and reported, "The PLA has begun to attack." ”

Instead of Gonzalez's report, the island's supreme commander, Lieutenant Rafael, had already seen through the telescope that four PLA helicopters were flying towards Thitu Island. In this case, of course, they are not looking for relatives and friends.

"Machine gun positions ready! Bazooka ready! Lieutenant Raphael ordered that, in addition to the preset machine gun fortifications, the most powerful heavy firearms of the island garrison were four bazookas. This bit of firepower is not worth mentioning against the PLA's 4 armed helicopters and Eel-class hovercraft, not to mention that there are two powerful frigates behind the PLA.

However, Lieutenant Rafael has no choice, the Philippine army has more than 100,000 people, but the annual military expenditure is only more than 2 billion US dollars, and once the capitation expenses for maintaining the military officers and soldiers to eat, drink, and Lazar are divided, more than half of the military expenditure will be gone, and most of the remaining military expenditure will be used to maintain the old weapon system and various daily training fuel and ammunition expenses, and the funds spent on new equipment are pitifully small.

In recent years, it has been hard to get a squadron of second-hand F-16C/D from the hands of the US military, and there is no extra money to invest on this island, and in addition to building a few houses on Thitu Island for more than 40 years, it is a major project to build a 3,000-ton simple wharf and a 1,500-meter concrete airstrip, which is to facilitate the temporary docking of their more than 3,000-ton "Delbilal" patrol ship and landing C-130 transport planes.

The top level of the Philippine military also knows that it is enough to be able to do this step here, and even if the rest of the money is thrown in, it will be useless if the PLA wants to attack, and the Philippine army will not be able to compete with the PLA head-on, and all they have to do is to maintain the occupation on the island, and then take the initiative in diplomatic negotiations, and that's it.

To put it bluntly, Lieutenant Raphael's island protection team is just an ornament to show its existence, not a force to be used to fight.

"Boss, you found the fortifications of the Philippine army's machine gun position, do you want to destroy it?" Sergeant Ning Hongwei, who was in charge of observation on the PLA helicopter gunship, watched the Philippine troops on Thitu Island, which was getting closer and closer, keep moving, and the machine guns exposed from several fortresses suspected to be concrete fortifications were clearly displayed on the telescope.

"Strike at once!" Tu Gao, the squadron leader who led the team, said without hesitation. Although the Philippine army is vulnerable, the machine gun is too lethal for the infantry, and it is really a scourge to keep it.

Soon, the rockets launched by the Wuzhi 19 dragged a long tongue of fire directly into several prominent machine gun fortifications of the Philippine army.

Seeing this scene, Lieutenant Raphael's swarthy face almost lost its blood, and he sacrificed a few machine gunners not to mention it, but the problem was that the opponent did not say a word, leaving no room for diplomatic representations for himself, such a resolute approach shows that the PLA is here today to seize this island.

Although he saw the opponent's ships appearing around Thitu Island, Lieutenant Rafael was already mentally prepared for this, and reported to the Philippine military high-level reinforcements, but the Philippine military high-level asked him to stick to it, but did not mention a word about the reinforcements In fact, everyone knows that in the face of such a powerful maritime power of the People's Liberation Army, any reinforcement is meaningless, and the strongest ship of the Philippine Navy is to purchase the retired "Hamilton" class patrol ship "Del Bilal" of the US Coast Guard. However, the cruiser was armed with only one 76-millimeter rapid-fire gun and a limited number of small-caliber rapid-fire guns, and was not equipped with any missile equipment, which was equivalent to a target compared to the Chinese Navy's 054A ship.

The Philippine military can only rely on the intervention of the US aircraft carrier group to keep the island, but the actions of the US military are beyond the control of the Philippine military high-level leaders, so the Philippine military high-level only asked Lieutenant Rafael to hold on, and the presence of the Philippine army on Thitu Island will give the US warships an excuse to attack when the PLA attacks. This is the calculation of the top brass of the Philippine army, as for how long Lieutenant Raphael can support and whether he can survive, it is not something they have to consider One by one, like the life or death of a lieutenant like Rafael who was assigned to this deserted island, who cares about the generals.

However, Lieutenant Raphael could not afford not to care, and he hesitated for a moment with a cloudy face, and finally made up his mind.

Under the guard of the four Wuzhi 19 arches hovering in the sky, the hovercraft successfully landed on the tidal flat north of Thitu Island, "Hurry up, hurry up!" The chariots went out first, and the 1st platoon and 1st squad relied on the chariots to set up a temporary position on the beach! The rest of the team members attack in turn, don't mess around! Ma Weishi shouted loudly, although the Philippine army has not reacted at this moment, but in the beach landing battle, now is the most dangerous moment, if the Philippine army launches an attack, even if they use the light firearms in their hands, the officers and men of the Marine Corps who have not yet gained a firm foothold will be very dangerous.

The wheeled armored fighting vehicle rumbled out of the hovercraft, a light armored vehicle that can effectively defend against 12.7mm machine gun bullets, and it is very suitable for dealing with the Philippine army's island-defending force, which mainly uses light firearms, and with it to provide frontal cover and small-caliber artillery support, it can come in handy when encountering stubborn resistance from the Philippine army.

After Ma Weishi nervously commanded all the troops to land ashore, the chariot had advanced 200 meters, but strangely still did not hear the gunfire of the Philippine army.

"Battalion Commander Ma, the Philippine army has surrendered!" Ma Weishi, who was strange at the moment, suddenly heard a call from a helicopter in the air from the earset, "The Philippine army has raised a white flag, you should be careful to send a few people over to surrender first." ”

Hearing this unexpected result, Ma Weishi paused, "A long platoon!" But in an instant, Ma Wei reacted, and he shouted, "Here! Second Lieutenant Su Changhe, the leader of the platoon, replied loudly.

"I took a few brothers over to take a look, and the brothers in the air said that the Philippine army had raised a white flag. Changhe, go over with the chariot, be careful, and if you encounter resistance, kill on the spot! Ma Weishi admonished. Fraudulent surrenders abound in history, and who knows if the Philippine Army wants to play such a boring game. However, in the face of absolute strength, Ma Weishi is not afraid of the Philippine army playing flowers.
