The first island chain blocked the waterway in and out of the western Pacific Ocean.

To get east into the ocean, there are only a few key straits.

Most of these straits are under the control of others.

It's not easy to get in and out freely.

This time, the 052C destroyer entered and exited the Pacific Ocean, taking the Miyako Strait.

This is also the widest waterway on the first island chain.

It's relatively safe.

In fact, these straits or waterways are all international waterways.

It stands to reason that anyone can go.

But that's not the case.

Civilian ships are just that.

Warships sailing in these places must at least be monitored by the other side.

"Captain, are we just going to let them watch?"

Han Zitao looked at a warship not far away with a hint of anger and said.

"Let them see it, and there will be no shortage of meat."

Zhang Yun was not in a hurry at all, and even had the heart to take out the binoculars and take a closer look at what kind of ship was opposite.

"It looks like a Burke-class destroyer, take a look?"

Han Zitao took the telescope and looked at it carefully: "It is indeed a Burke-class, it seems that it is still the one that was just commissioned last year." ”

Since its inception more than a decade ago, the Burke-class has been the main warship of the Eagle Sauce surface fleet.

It has 12 eight-mounted vertical launch units, capable of loading standard SM-2 anti-aircraft missiles, Tomahawk cruise missiles, vertically launched rocket-assisted torpedoes, etc.

One MK-45 five-inch 62-diameter naval gun.

There were also several machine guns and cannons of 25 mm caliber and 12.7 caliber.

The firepower is not unimpressive!

However, Zhang Yun was not afraid, and the firepower of the 052C destroyer under his feet was also exactly the same.

In particular, the 16 anti-ship missiles equipped on the ship can be called a ship killer.

Enough for any battleship that dares to offend to sink to the bottom of the sea.

"Don't worry, even if we're driving a sampan now, they won't dare to do anything to us."

Zhang Yun stood on the deck and looked at the vague battleship in the distance, and said mockingly.

"We have their handles."

The lightly wounded are still lying in the cabin.

Even if the other party is crazy, it is impossible to do anything to them under the pressure of the domestic thousands.

Thus, for the first time, the 052C battleship swaggered through the Miyako Strait.

And there was no one to stop it.

There are some discordant voices coming out of the footbasin country.

It's just that it was quickly suppressed by Eagle Sauce.

In the Dragon Kingdom, there are quite a few reports about this.

Because this time, basically the whole world knows.

So the sailing route of the battleship was not hidden too much.

So after entering the East China Sea from the Miyako Strait.

Many media began to report on it one after another.

"Our Navy broke through the first island chain for the first time! 》

"From the failure of the first island chain to see the rise of China's maritime power! 》

Reports such as these began to circulate among various newspapers and online media.

Nowadays, the Internet is evolving rapidly.

Thanks to the development of satellite communication networks, the development of the domestic Internet is much faster than in previous generations.

Nowadays, the mobile Internet has also begun to take shape.

After the 052C destroyer entered the East China Sea, it went all the way south.

Prepare to return to your home port and unload the people on board.

It is impossible to say that such a group of people did not feel inconvenient on the ship.

So after approaching the South China Sea, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally time to give away this hot potato.

"What?!"

When Zhang Yun received the order from her superiors, her voice became much louder.

"Chief, we're almost home?"

"At this time, let us go on a mission?"

"Okay, I see."

Everyone in the cabin looked at Zhang Yun curiously at this time, whose face was obviously not particularly good.

"The superior instructed us to rush to Donghai City immediately after the nearest personnel were disembarked."

After finishing speaking, the faces of everyone in the cabin did not change much.

After all, everyone is a soldier, and it is good to carry out the order when it comes.

But curiosity remains.

"Lao Zhang, is this something wrong?"

"Call us over in such a hurry."

Zhang Yun looked at Han Zitao behind him and said:

"It's relatively simple and complicated to say."

"We're going to have a cruise next, and before that, we need to go to Tokai City for a resupply and reloading."

Han Zitao continued to ask a few words, wanting to know why they had to go to this mission.

As soon as he said that, Han Zitao figured it out by himself.

Why do they have to go?

It can only be because they are now the most combat-ready warships in the country.

So when Zhang Yun didn't answer, he closed his mouth.

The nearest city to the battleship was Quanzhou.

After docking, there are already a large number of people waiting on the dock to pick up people.

It didn't take Zhang Yun much of their time.

The destroyer does not stop after completing the handover of personnel.

Pull the anchor directly and set sail, and sail north along the road you came.

In Tokai City, it took them several days to replace weapons and equipment.

The maximum speed of the 052C is 30 knots.

However, because the fuel has not been replenished along the way.

It can only go north at a speed of 21 knots.

In this way, it took nearly 20 hours for the warship to finally arrive at the largest port in the country, Donghai Port.

Today's East Sea Port has not yet become the world's largest port in the future.

However, the prosperous scene has begun to see grandeur.

"You guys this time are mainly replacing anti-ship missiles."

Zhang Yun As soon as they entered the port, someone came to carry out the docking work.

"I'm too anxious this time."

Zhang Yun looked at the list and said to the handover.

"Can't we get back to Hong Kong and then change clothes?"

This time the costume change is really too strange.

Generally speaking, this kind of thing is done in the home port.

And their home port is in the South China Sea.

"Geng Bo?" As soon as Han Zitao came over at this time, he said to the handover person with a puzzled expression.

Geng Bo smiled when he saw his old acquaintance and said, "Long time no see." ”

"Why are you here?" Han Zitao was a little curious.

"Is the equipment you are newly equipped with?"

Compared to Zhang Yun, who is not particularly familiar.

For Han Zitao, Geng Bo is much more familiar.

There are obviously more words.

"Yes, mainly to replace your current anti-ship missiles." Geng Bo said.

"The ship-based version of the hypersonic missile has been successfully developed?"

Han Zitao asked with a look of surprise.

The previous hypersonic missile, although there was also an anti-ship version.

But it was still delivered by missile vehicles or airplanes.

And it cannot be fired through a vertical launch unit on a destroyer.

"Sort of."

Geng Bo said somewhat ambiguously.

"What do you mean by counting?" Han Zitao is not easy to fool.

"Strictly speaking, it's not a hypersonic anti-ship missile."

"Because it hasn't hit faster than Mach five at the end."

Geng Bo explained a little.

"It strikes at a speed of only Mach 4.2."

The definition of hypersonic weapons in China is very clear, that is, the terminal evasion speed reaches more than Mach 5.

So this anti-ship missile is not counted in this.

In fact, because of this definition, there are many weapons with terminal velocities of more than Mach 5, which are not considered supernatural weapons.

"That's enough for us!"

Han Zitao said with a look of surprise.

The YJ-62 anti-ship missile they used before had a maximum flight speed of Mach 0.9.

Specialized hoisting machines, which have already begun to lift missiles from ships.

The YJ-62 is large, with a length of more than 6.5 meters and a weight of 1.1 tons.

So after the end of a round of launches, only rely on the destroyer's own hoisting capacity.

There is no way to complete the reload.

It is necessary to return to port before the missile reloading can be carried out.

"The way the ship-based version of the supersonic anti-ship missile is used is not much different from the previous YJ-62."

Geng Bo approached a little closer and explained to the two of them the various aspects of the new equipment.

"Actually, the appearance of the two of them is not very different."

Although it is said that there is not much difference, it is to adapt to the aerodynamics in high-speed flight conditions.

The supersonic anti-ship missile is more slender and significantly thinner than the YJ-62 anti-ship missile.

"It's a little lighter than the YJ-62 you were equipped with, but it's 900 kilograms."

"The weight of the warhead has also decreased, but the power has increased."

"We have adopted a new explosive mixing ratio that increases the power of the explosives by 20 percent."

After listening to this, the two nodded, and had a brief understanding of the situation of the new equipment.

At this time, Zhang Yun lit a cigarette, looked at the port that didn't seem to be dark, and said:

"We guess we're going to show a good face this time."

Han Zitao looked at Zhang Yun with some confusion and said:

"I asked you what your task was, and you just excused yourself."

"Can't you say it now?"

Zhang Yun took a deep puff of cigarette and said:

"We're going to meet up with a warship in Maozi at the Northern Harbor, and then carry out a joint cruise."

"There could be a naval exercise at the end."

Han Zitao suddenly realized at this time, no wonder he was in such a hurry to transfer them over.

It turned out that it was because a joint exercise was going to be launched.

In recent years, there have been a number of joint training and exercises between the country and its northern neighbors.

So there's nothing particularly shocking about a joint cruise.

"Don't take it lightly, you kid."

Zhang Yun couldn't look at it and reminded:

"The route we're going to cruise this time is very special."

"We're going to go around the footbasin and cruise in a full circle."

When Han Zitao heard the cruise route, some shocked expressions appeared on his face.

After all, this route is just too special.

Han Zitao said: "This road is probably not so easy to walk. ”

"It won't be difficult." Zhang Yun knows better.

The main obstacle on this road is actually the Taka-chan Navy stationed at Sasebo Port.

But during this time, they probably did not have so much leisure to intercept.

After all, there are still many people on the domestic side.

It's too late for them to show affection, how can they come to eye medicine at this time.

As for the Foot Basin country's own maritime forces.

Not to mention his strength, just because his father spoke, he didn't dare to let out a fart.

Zhang Yun didn't say anything.

But Han Zitao can think of it after thinking about it a little.

It took several hours for the battleship missiles to be hoisted out and then reloaded.

The main thing is that it is more cumbersome to transfer the missile out of the launch crater.

It didn't take much time to reload.

"Have a nice trip!"

After the missile refitting was completed, Geng Bo waved goodbye to them.

Zhang Yun's 052C destroyer, where they were, was reequipped with anti-ship missiles.

And in these few hours, the supply of many consumables was completed.

This is more than 200 people on the ship before, and all kinds of supplies have been consumed.

And most importantly, they don't have much fuel either.

There is an urgent need to replenish the large number of diesel fuels.

This was done in conjunction with the refitting of missiles.

There is no separate process, a waste of time.

After the replenishment was completed, the battleship headed for the northern port.

The maritime situation in the Yellow Sea is still relatively familiar to everyone.

There is no wind and waves.

So when it sails, the speed has always been relatively fast.

It's like after they left the first island chain from the Miyako Strait.

The speed of sailing in the Pacific Ocean has not been fast.

The most important reason is that they are not familiar with the hydrological conditions of the ocean.

However, in the future, a few more Pacific thoughts can improve the problem.

After several hours of sailing, the 052C destroyer had already reached the northern port.

Here, they will have to complete the task of cruising around the footbasin with a big hairy warship.

Of course, the name of the mission is actually the Pacific Northwest Patrol Mission.

It has nothing to do with the foot basin.

But as we all know, there are only a few of the most important countries in the Northwest Pacific.

How could it not be involved?

After the two battleships completed their rendezvous.

After some friendly exchanges, we drove out of the port.

Of course, the friendly exchange still took a day.

The main thing is that the hairy people drank too much the day before this.

At the welcome dinner held by our company, I drank a high degree of sake made from pure grains for an unknown amount of time.

The next day, I couldn't even go on a normal mission.

This also made Zhang Yun, who originally had some good feelings for Mao Zijun, lose the last trace of good impression in an instant.

Zhang Yun had been to the Hairy Bear's Navy for exchange and study in the past.

At that time, the hairy bears also had various problems.

But at least there is no such degree of laxity in military discipline.

The regulations are still well enforced.

Zhang Yun didn't expect that their military discipline could be corrupted to such an extent after the disintegration!

But this matter is not his responsibility.

After a day of waiting.

The two warships finally set sail.

Begin sailing towards the first critical sea.

That is the extremely important Tsushima Strait.

Although the Tsushima Strait is very close to the country of Foot Basin, it is an international shipping lane.

The footbasin is not sovereign in this area.

This is also the fundamental reason why the Combined Fleet was able to sail through here.

Two large destroyers weighing several thousand tons sailed through a waterway that was no more than 64 kilometers at its narrowest point.

Standing on the beach, you can even see the flags on the battleship!
