#413 - Chapter 413: Coast Guard Ship vs. Patrol Ship, Landing Ship! Water Cannon? The Kind That Spra
The morning sun洒(sǎ) shone on the azure sea.
Birds soared.
Sea fish leaped.
It looked peaceful and serene, but it was destined not to remain so.
On a small island, a dozen soldiers were raising the flag. As the Chinese national anthem echoed, the red flag fluttered in the wind.
"Something is wrong!"
Suddenly!
The soldier responsible for the watchtower ran over: "Warships...Philippine warships are approaching, less than 20 nautical miles away!"
"What?!" The officer's expression changed.
This island was under the actual control of China. What did the approach of Philippine ships signify?
Provocation?
Landing?
Or even an outbreak of conflict!
"Report it immediately!" the officer shouted.
"Report!"
Just as he finished speaking, the communicator ran over: "Received instructions from above, no need to react in any way!"
The officer was stunned at first, then a smile appeared on his face.
What?!
The officer stood on the watchtower, surveying the surroundings with binoculars, and finally saw a ship.
A ship flying the red flag.
A Chinese ship!
The problem was, that ship was from the Coast Guard. Compared to the Philippine warships, they were not in the same league!
Displacement of at most five hundred tons.
And the Philippines?
Two Hamilton-class patrol ships.
One Bacolod City-class landing ship.
Admittedly, they were all North American ships from decades ago, sold as second-hand goods after being淘汰(táotài) eliminated by North America, but they were still over 3,000 tons—especially the Bacolod City-class landing ship, with a displacement of over 4,000 tons.
The key was that these warships were equipped with舰炮(jiàn pào) cannons.
The so-called support from above...
Was this it?
It was more like a joke!
...
Acalraz.
One of the Hamilton-class patrol ships, serving as the flagship for this operation.
The colonel officer looked through his binoculars, and when he saw the Chinese Coast Guard ship...
Was he seeing things?
China only sent this thing over?
Originally, he was a little worried: the Philippines' advantage was that it was closer to this island, but when it came to naval strength...no matter how bad China was, it was still compared to Europe and the United States, and to Japan and South Korea.
Compared to the Philippine Navy, it was definitely stronger.
This patrol ship of more than three thousand tons was the strongest warship in the Philippines right now.
China, on the other hand, had destroyers.
Although the performance wasn't great, it was still a destroyer!
But what was the result?
The other side sent a small Coast Guard ship to embarrass themselves?
Seeing this scene, he was relieved: "Arrogant fellows! Did they think they could scare us with a small Coast Guard ship?"
"Ship No. 2, go play with that little boat!"
The next moment.
Another patrol ship received instructions and immediately sailed towards the Coast Guard ship.
Closing in!
Constantly closing in!
The instruction he received was to enter the waters of that island, a dozen nautical miles away, which was under the actual control of China, and to make a show of landing.
North America gave them benefits, so the Philippines had to listen.
But!
The Philippines wasn't stupid, okay?
North America's request was to make a show of landing and attacking. The Philippines would definitely pretend to do it, but they couldn't really start a fight with China—that little bit of benefit wasn't enough for them to confront a nuclear power head-on.
Unless they were crazy!
At this moment, the ships on both sides were facing each other head-on, and they had to put on a good show and couldn't back down.
But they definitely couldn't fire.
On one side was a Coast Guard ship of a few hundred tons.
On the other side was a patrol ship of more than three thousand tons.
What would happen if they collided?
Adiza认定(rèndìng) believed that at the last moment, the Coast Guard ship would definitely give way.
He was the captain of the patrol ship.
His position was second only to the commander-in-chief of this operation.
"Charge!"
He shouted loudly: "Anyone who dares to stop or give way without my order will be court-martialed!"
800 meters!
600 meters!
400 meters!
The distance between the two ships was getting closer and closer.
Suddenly.
With less than two hundred meters left, the Coast Guard ship suddenly turned, '擦肩而过(cā jiān ér guò)' brushing past the patrol ship.
"Hahaha..."
Seeing this scene, Adiza laughed: "I knew it! How could these cowards dare to be with us..."
咻(xiū)!
Before he could finish speaking, he vaguely heard a strange sound.
At this moment.
The Coast Guard ship was on the port side of the patrol ship.
"What's that sound?!" he asked.
"Those bastards are...attacking us with water cannons!" his subordinate quickly reported.
Water cannons?
Adiza frowned and rushed out of the command room, heading straight for the port side of the patrol ship.
He saw the Coast Guard ship using a weapon similar to a water cannon to spray their ship.
He had seen water cannons and wasn't surprised.
But...
That wasn't water at all!
How could seawater be red?
哧(chī)!
When that thing landed in the sea, the entire sea surface was filled with white smoke, emitting deadly high temperatures!
As for hitting the ship...
The steel plate also made a嗤嗤(chī chī) sound and turned red at an alarming rate!
The temperature of the patrol ship rose sharply!
At the same time.
The lava was attached to the ship, firmly fixed and unable to be剥离(bōlí) removed, and the weight of the patrol ship of more than three thousand tons increased rapidly!
If there were divers looking from below, they would find...
A pipeline leading directly to the seabed!
A large amount of sand and gravel was pumped up and rapidly heated in a special alloy container until it melted, turning into lava and喷(pēn) spraying it out.
"It's lava...run!"
"Damn it! What kind of weapon is this? Quick...use the舰炮(jiàn pào) cannons to bomb them!"
嗡(wēng)...
Just as someone shouted to counterattack.
A roar came from the sky, and a Su-30MKK quickly approached.
An invisible pulse wave was released.
Instantly!
Sparks flew in the warship's command room.
The cannon control system was burned down, and the power disappeared completely in an instant, directly趴窝(pā wō) breaking down.
Could the machine guns still be used?
They could.
The problem was...
The Coast Guard ship's 'lava cannon' was fully automatic.
The炮管(pào guǎn) barrel was made of a special alloy, and machine gun bullets couldn't hurt it at all, while the people operating the machine guns were sprayed by lava...there was no need to go to the crematorium, they could be burned to ashes in an instant and directly put into an骨灰盒(gǔhuī hé) urn!
The patrol ship lost power and could no longer evade or retreat.
It became a sitting duck!
"Bonifacio, what's going on?!"
"Adiza, answer immediately!"
Eight nautical miles away.
The flagship noticed something was wrong.
Unfortunately...
The electronic instruments were destroyed, including the communication system.
"舰炮(jiàn pào) Cannons! Lock onto that Coast Guard ship!"
On the flagship, the colonel commander嘶吼(sī hǒu) roared.
Then, the Su-30MKK had already arrived and released a high-frequency pulse.
The flagship immediately趴窝(pā wō) broke down!
The commander傻傻(shǎ shǎ) looked on as Bonifacio was filled with layers of lava of unknown weight, and the waterline rose at an alarming rate until...
It completely disappeared from the sea.
Was it over?
No!
Then, he watched in horror as that small Coast Guard ship of a few hundred tons slowly sailed towards him.
The speed was very slow.
It certainly couldn't compare to the patrol ship.
But...
The patrol ship was趴窝(pā wō) broken down and couldn't move!
They could only watch as death approached step by step.
The Coast Guard ship deliberately drove slowly to let them feel death slowly descending.
Two hours later.
The Acalraz patrol ship and the Bacolod City-class landing ship,承受(chéngshòu) enduring pressure they shouldn't have, disappeared from the sea under the weight of thousands of tons of lava—following in the footsteps of Bonifacio.
On the Coast Guard ship.
The captain showed a cold smile: "The next target—Huangyan!"
Huangyan was侵占(qīnzàn) occupied four years ago.
In Chen Hao's previous life, it was only recovered more than ten years later.
This life.
No need to wait that long!
At the same time.
Thousands of miles away in the capital, they were issuing a statement with激烈的措辞(jīliè de cuòcí) strong wording.
