Chapter 542: Death!
Yang Guang led a group of rough embryos on the "Dreadnought 2" class destroyer to trot north along the coastline of West Borneo and later Brunei, and entered the Sulu Sea through the strait between Balabac Island and West Borneo, and soon caught up with the "Sea Giant" supertanker, which was cruising at a cruising speed of less than ten knots and circumnavigating the deep-water channel here.
"Damn, just listening to the 800,000 tons of drainage, we haven't had a formed impression in our hearts, as soon as this Nima approaches, oh no, this is really not a big word to describe!" After forming a walking two-ship formation with the "Sea Giant", Yang Guang, who looked up at its huge figure from the bridge, made the above feelings.
This is really not Yang Guang's hypocrisy, if we talk about the block, the "Vivobook 2" destroyer with a displacement of less than 10,000 tons can only be regarded as a son next to the "Ford" class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier with a displacement of 100,000 tons, but the "Ford" class can only call itself a younger brother in front of the "Sea Giant" at best.
Of course, this is a matter of size, and in terms of combat power, as soon as the "Exocet" is launched, the "Sea Giant" of its GG will only have to shout for dad when it sees anyone, even if it is a coal-burning ironclad battleship.
The Sea Giant, with a displacement eight times that of the Ford, is almost twice as long and wide. When your ship is close enough to it, the shock of not being able to see the bow and stern comes from the heart.
"Let the K-27B helicopter take to the skies for minesweeping, it's too close to Manila." Yang Guang looked at his position on the chart and decided to send a helicopter to clear the preset course of the "Sea Giant".
"Also, be careful to remind those rough embryos that it's okay, don't take the torpedo into the air." Thinking of the few fools who blew up the Spanish ship at the beginning, Yang Guang had a headache, this time we are here for sightseeing and shopping, and it is especially at our own expense that there is no sponsorship from the fund, so we can try to keep a low profile without causing trouble.
The "Sea Giant" has been floating in the waters of the Sulu Sea for some time, and the Spaniards must have known their approximate location, and as the position of the formation is getting closer and closer to Manila, Yang Guang has to beware of some tricks that the Spaniards may use to jump over the wall, such as using low-cost mines to give you a cold shot.
Fortunately, the route of the "Sea Giant" was automatically generated by the computer based on the bathymetric data provided by the "director team", which saved a lot of trouble for the carrier-based Ka-27 helicopters of the 650 destroyer of the "Dreadnought 2" class.
Although the 650 ship took off from a professional anti-submarine helicopter with mine detection equipment, considering that there will be no high-tech intelligent mines at this time, the Ka-27B "Snail" helicopter with this part-time minesweeper should be enough.
It turns out that you can't be too careful in troubled times, and the rough embryos flew in two Ka-27Bs in turn, and really Nima caught several mines in the waters near Manila Bay.
Judging from the not very spectacular splashes after the mine detonated, it is very likely that the Spaniards were not willing to fill the mines with picric acid explosives, which are still relatively expensive, but considering the auspicious history of the "Sea Giant", Yang Guang felt that it was still necessary to increase the frequency of attendance of the Ka-27 anti-submarine helicopter.
The Sea Giant is getting closer to Manila Bay, and the Ka-27 anti-submarine helicopter is flying more and more often over the waters near Manila.
Since there were no professional anti-aircraft weapons in this time and space, the rough embryos even hovered leisurely over the Spaniards' coastal fortifications to take pictures.
Every time the rough embryos flew over the Spaniards' military targets, the soldiers on the ground would shoot at the helicopter with their rifles, and even if you gave them an AK-47 at this distance, the Spaniards would still be happy to see the helicopter and "fire the gun".
"Hey, did you see it, at three o'clock, the Spaniards are shooting!" The rough embryo who was observing the ground situation in the open hatch on the port side behind the Ka-27 said to his companion in the in-flight communication channel.
"Hehe, I drank water and ate today, do you want to be surprised!" For the stupid behavior of the Spaniards who shoot at the sight of a helicopter, the rough embryo of the pilot is no longer strange.
"What I mean, the Spaniards are shooting at the pigtails that are piled up near the docks!" The rough embryo that was observing in the back continued to add.
"The command center, this is B1, found that Spanish soldiers were shooting civilians suspected of being Chinese." When the pilot lowered his flight, he discovered that soldiers were actually firing at a group of unarmed pigtailed civilians near the pier.
"What? It's not a matter of a day or two that we are the overlords of the South Pacific, and who dares to shoot Chinese civilians right under our noses at this time? Yang Guang felt that the twin 130 guns in the bow of his ship were despised.
Since the 38th Task Force came to the waters of the South Pacific, especially after the Far East Fleet that killed John Bull, basically no one in this area dared to shout at the Crossing Crowd, let alone do this kind of slap in the face of the Crossing Crowd to shoot the Chinese civilians in the face.
If it weren't for the fact that the Ka-27B had torpedoed and depth charges before taking off, Yang Guang would have had the heart to make a prelude to let the rough embryos throw a big blow on the Spaniard's head.
Lu Xiaobei's "One Voice" purge program in West Borneo largely deterred the various forces in the area that had previously been unfriendly to the Chinese.
But sometimes there will be cases that go too far, for example, some people who were not friendly to the Chinese people in the past, after knowing that a giant ship of the Great Song Dynasty was approaching Manila, began their imaginary desperate carnival before the Great Reckoning.
The local natives, with the connivance of the Spanish colonial authorities, began to loot the shops opened by the Chinese, and the conflict between the two sides escalated further after the local Chinese fought back.
Sensing that the war was approaching, the Spanish colonial authorities did not intervene to stop it, but indulged in further aggravating the situation, and they wanted to use the hands of local natives to clean up the Great Song spies who might be hiding among the Chinese civilians. After all, in the conjecture of the Spaniards, the Dutch of Eastern Wanlu died at the hands of those leading party of Lanfang.
If Yang Guang knew the Qingqi brain circuit of the Spaniards, he would definitely scold: Your sister's spy, spy! Lao Tzu sank your thin-skinned ironclad ships, bulldozing your coastal fortifications, and still need spies? I'm afraid you don't have any misunderstanding of modern naval artillery, missiles, and aircraft, if you really want to do your Lao Tzu's kung fu, then it's over, and you still need to use spies?
After all, the Chinese in Manila were still weak, and the Spanish colonial authorities deliberately pulled the strings, so they repeatedly suffered losses in the conflict.
So someone took the lead and brought everyone to bring their belongings, thinking that they would cross the sea to Dongwanlu to seek a living. However, as the "Sea Giant" approached, the docks near Manila were turned off by the Spaniards as a military restricted area, and the Chinese civilians who wanted to escape from them were blocked by the Spanish soldiers.
However, for these Chinese with pigtails behind their heads, it was impossible to return to the city of Manila, which was full of red-eyed natives.
The annoying "iron dragonfly" appeared more and more frequently, and the Spaniards became more nervous and irritable, which eventually led to the massacre of Chinese civilians that took place under the nose of the Ka-27.
