At 9:30 a.m., the sun was already raging.

The operating sea area is near zero degrees from the meridian, the position closest to the sun, the sun is direct, and the temperature rises very quickly.

The 189 exploration ship is exploring the oil and gas resources on the seabed according to the plan, and the detection tube has been lowered, followed by the drill bit.

Busy skilled workers talking.

"I heard that the Vietnamese monkeys are coming, and they are on the periphery. ”

"It's been here a long time ago. ”

"Why didn't you see their ship. ”

"It's strange that you can see it. ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's very simple, the coast guard ships are keeping them out, twelve nautical miles, you say you can see the Vietnamese monkeys and the broken boats. ”

"Isn't it, there are a lot of tattered fishing boats and speedboats of Vietnamese monkeys, and the coast guard has stopped them?"

"You're really behind. There are hundreds of boats on the coast guard's side, and nothing can stop them. ”

......

The technicians on the 189th boat thought that they could see the scene of the coast guard ship and the Vietnamese monkey fishing boat fighting wits and courage, but who knew that the coast guard force would not let the dilapidated fishing boat of the Vietnamese monkey sail into line of sight.

However, it is said that many speedboats first approached the 189th boat, forming a protective inner circle around it, ready to deal with the Vietnamese speedboats that were very likely to take advantage of the cover of the waves. The 9527 ship also returned to the defense at a very fast speed and arrived at a place about one kilometer away from the 189th ship.

Li Mu held a telescope and carefully observed the sea.

Under the increasingly fierce sun, the sea surface is sparkling, but fortunately, Li Mu is following the direction of the sun, and is less affected by the sun.

On the ship's floor, as long as there are idle personnel, they all hold telescopes to search the sea surface, so as to make up for the lack of radar and radio and television detection equipment to detect small targets on the sea surface.

Before anything was discovered here, the fifth detachment deployed to the east and southeast of the 189th ship suddenly sent a report: "No. 1! Report No. 1! The MKE ship is coming! It is coming towards our detachment, maintaining a speed of 18 knots! Request for support! Request for support!"

The atmosphere on the 9527 ship suddenly became tense.

The MKE is their old rival, a guided missile destroyer with a full load displacement of nearly 9,000 tons, a vertical launch system that claims to be the most powerful destroyer in the world, and a phased array radar system that claims to be the world's first.

"Again!" the captain slammed his fist on the chart table, and said hatefully, "It's the MKE again!"

He looked at Li Mu, "Chief, eighty percent of them are colluding! The sea hooligan formation is harassing in the west, and the MKE has come to help them! According to past experience, the MKE will definitely rely on their advantage of large tonnage and fast speed to approach the 189th ship to take pictures and reconnoitre!"

Li Mu asked, "How did you deal with it in the past?"

"We rarely go head-to-head with the MKE, it's all Navy destroyers who conduct reconnaissance, surveillance, and deportation. The captain said.

No matter how powerful the firepower of a coast guard ship is, it cannot be compared with a warship, let alone one of the most powerful and advanced warships in service in the world.

Wang Guoqing immediately said, "Since the MKE appears here, the destroyer of the Navy must not be very far away." ”

Li Mu quickly made a decision and said, "Speed up and rush over!" I still say the same thing, I must not let it enter the range of twelve nautical miles. Order the Fifth Detachment to stop them!"

"Yes!"

The 9527 ship accelerated towards the relevant sea area.

After receiving the order, the leader of the detachment immediately made rapid adjustments to the ships of the detachment, and all the ships drove to the highest speed and began to form a formation in front of the MKE to block the MKE's approach.

However, the MKE's top speed once exceeded the speed of 33 knots, and the fastest ship in the fifth detachment could only run at the speed of 22 knots, which was difficult to stop the MKE.

Sure enough, when the MKE spotted the law enforcement vessels blocking the way in front of them, it began to accelerate and turn, trying to bypass the fifth detachment and continue to approach the 189th ship.

Dispatching speedboats has no effect, and small speedboats can easily be overturned by the waves generated by the high-speed movement of nearly 10,000-ton warships.

At this time, the only one that could compete with the MKE was the 9527 ship. Although the 9527 is not as good as the MKE in terms of tonnage, the 9527 ship is a veritable high-speed coast guard ship, and after using all the power units, it can run at a high speed of 30 knots, and it is completely capable of competing with the MKE.

Li Mu had already given the order to move forward at full speed, and the 9527 ship took out the fastest speed and headed towards the MKE that was turning.

The two frigates of the navy that carried out the inspection and surveillance of the MKE had already made contact with Li Mu's side, but they were far away. The reason is not difficult to analyze, the maximum speed of the 054A missile frigate is only twenty-six knots, and in extreme cases, it can run at a speed of twenty-eight knots, but it is still not as fast as the MKE.

It is absolutely certain that the frigate of the Navy must have battled with the MKE for a long time in the farther sea, and finally it was thrown away by it at high speed.

At this time, only the 9527 ship was able to block the MKE and prevent it from entering the 189 ship and 12 nautical miles.

On the vast sea, several law enforcement ships of the Fifth Detachment opened up a formation to block the original course of the MKE, and after the MKE made an accelerated turn, the Fifth Detachment also began to follow the turn, cutting off their way as much as possible and continued to use the international channel to shout.

The MKE was almost out of the shackles of the fifth detachment by virtue of its high speed, and ignored the shouts of the Chinese law enforcement ship.

When they were almost free from the shackles of the fifth detachment, they made another turn, and the course was once again aligned with the position of the 189th ship, and the speed reached twenty-five knots. It takes several minutes for such a heavy warship to accelerate to its top speed, and the speed of twenty-five knots at this time is already very fast.

When the captain of the MKE smiled, he saw that he was about to enter within twelve nautical miles of the 189th ship, but suddenly saw a majestic coast guard ship from the west, and the sun shone on the hull like a layer of golden armor.

At this time, at a distance of five nautical miles, the captain of the ship said to the staff officer with a smile, "Continue to increase speed, and then perform a steering maneuver again." ”

Using the advantage of speed to shake off entanglement, the MKE is invincible, and every time it can get close to the target ship for close-up tracking and shooting. In the past, when harassing the Chinese Navy's hydrographic survey ships and communications and intelligence ships, they did so.

Unless they run into the Chinese Navy's Aegis ships, such as the 052C-class destroyers and above, they will not have anything to worry about. Those 052C and 052D missile destroyers have a top speed comparable to theirs, and the MKE cannot escape surveillance and interception.

The destroyer of the class in which the MKE is located was developed as part of the aircraft carrier battle group, so the maximum speed must be synchronized with the aircraft carrier, and it must reach 30 knots. When an aircraft carrier takes off a carrier-based fighter, it must drive more than 30 knots into the wind to increase the lift of the carrier-based fighter. Therefore, the maximum speed of the ships of the aircraft carrier battle group must reach 30 knots.

From the beginning of the design, the 052C has taken into account the factor of the aircraft carrier battle group, so the same model was developed according to the same tactical indicators, and it is also the aircraft carrier's knife guard.

The MKE had learned the unprofessional operation of the 052-class destroyers of the Chinese Navy, and when it encountered them, it did not dare to come as before. As for encountering the 054A-class frigate, the MKE can still play and bully the small.

At this time, the captain of the MKE did not take the oncoming 9527 ship seriously, and he didn't pay attention to the frigate, let alone the coast guard ship.
