Chapter 622 The sky is clear today and the waves are high. The D flag is flying on the leader mast...
The warship will have a set of signal lights specially used for light language communication. Even under the strong sun at noon near the equator, Just as dazzling.
The Pham Ngu Lao ship a few kilometers away immediately received the message sent by the Huangshi ship.
"Captain, the other party sent a signal to us, saying..."
The signal officer on Annan's side was interrupted by Ruan Yingjun halfway through his words:
< br>
"I can understand the lantern language, you go back to the fighting position first!"
Just kidding, he was thinking about how to hide this matter, and there was someone next to him who kept clamoring to give some to the other side. If the stupid reporter who is looking at the color can let the other party report the signal sent by the Chinese, what will happen?
"Then...how should we respond?"
The signal officer looked at the captain and asked in a confused and slightly panicked tone.
Because Ruan Yingjun himself has been steering the ship just now, most people still don’t know that their ship has sailed to a place that is completely different from the preset mission route, and they just treat it as if it is still there. The northwest waters of Nansha.
The appearance of a Chinese warship in this place is more intriguing.
Combined with the light language just received, the other party said that they are operating in their own waters...
This made the signal officer naturally think -
Is it possible? Will it be a repeat of 1988?
You know, Annan's record in that conflict was not good.
In the entire battle, only the "first shot" in the physical sense injured the arm of a person from the Chinese side, and no other losses were caused since then.
Annan himself lost two patrol ships, a large landing ship, and about 200 people.
In such a big background, he must still be a little panicked.
"Just reply and say that our ship is in normal navigation and has no intention of provoking a conflict. If an accident occurs, you will bear all the consequences!"
The content of this reply highlights an ambiguity. .
If you listen to the first half, it sounds like you are about to give in.
But there seems to be a hint of provocation behind it.
“Captain Ruan, what did the other party just send?”
Ruan Yingjun snorted coldly:
“It’s just some routine words after meeting, no need to Worry! ”
After he finished speaking, he changed the topic again, and the concern in his tone was slightly more deliberate:
"The conflict is imminent, and the next thing is left to us. You are all civilians and should not appear on the bridge, which is the most dangerous place. Please go back to the relatively safe lower cabin!"
Of course he couldn't really care about these obstructive reporters, but as long as they get off the ship, what happens next will happen! It's up to him to do whatever he wants.
However, at this time, the other party made a point of being ignorant:
"No! It is a rare opportunity to use the camera to record the frontline soldiers expelling foreign enemies and protecting the security of our country. How can you hide at this time? ?”
"Captain Ruan, you have your mission, and we also have ours. Don't worry, we are not afraid of danger!"
The two sentences stood out and hit the mark. Several other TV staff nearby were a little frightened. But after hearing this statement, he had no intention of backing down.
When Ruan Yingjun saw this, he could only curse in his heart, but on the surface he still had to show admiration, let alone give any more advice.
This paragraph sounds long, but in fact it only takes a few minutes.
However, for Fan Wu Laohao and Ruan Yingjun, there is obviously not much time left for them to maneuver...
...
At the same time, inside the Huangshi ship.
The distance between the two ships is now so close that even small-caliber rapid-fire cannons can reach it. Although the ship itself has an advantage in performance, most of the people on the ship are fighting for the first time. When faced with enemies who come to provoke you, you will inevitably become nervous.
As a veteran who participated in the March 14 naval battle, political commissar Sheng Jingyong is conducting pre-war mobilization through a microphone.
The content is naturally about the battle that year.
When I heard that only one person on our side had an arm injury, so that every time we commemorate this naval battle, even the tribute to the martyrs cannot be carried out, the atmosphere on the entire ship instantly became relaxed - pay attention to the enemy, that is Daily training and preparations for combat.
Before this kind of encounter, you must not try to boost others' ambitions or destroy your own prestige.
Of course, Captain Lin Weizhi didn’t pay much attention to what his old partner just said.
At this time, he was using his telescope to stare at the Annan frigate not far away, which seemed to have no intention of retreating.
"The lights on the other side said that they are in normal navigation. If a conflict occurs, we will be responsible for the consequences?"
Looking at the response of the lights on the Fan Wulao, Lin Weizhi laughed out loud.
He put down the telescope and turned to look at the deputy captain behind him:
"Go, notify the signal department and hang up the Delta signal flag for me!"
" Delta flag?”
Wei Zhuo was stunned.
In his naval career, he had never raised this flag alone.
Because in the unified maritime signal standards after the 1970s, a Delta flag indicates that the ship is out of control and should be avoided.
“Yes, Delta flag.”
Lin Weizhi nodded:
"Didn't they say that they are in normal navigation?"
"Then our ship just doesn't obey the orders now. We must ram them towards them and ask them to pay attention to avoidance, otherwise there will be a collision. , we may not have a chance to catch people!"
Wei Zhuo, who finally understood what the captain meant, took a lot of effort to hold back his smile and immediately turned around to inform the signal officer.
When it comes to fighting, you still have to be serious...
"Report!"
Lin Weizhi, who had just given the signal command, heard the correspondent's voice almost seamlessly:
"The superiors replied to us, saying that we do not take the initiative to cause trouble, are not timid and afraid of trouble, and must use appropriate means to safeguard the dignity and dignity of the country. Sovereignty is intact. ”
“In addition, the South China Sea Fleet Air Force has sent two aircraft that were previously involved in the test to prepare for the return flight. The fighter jets on duty are also taking off and are expected to arrive within 40 minutes.”
< br>"Huh——"
Lin Weizhi breathed a long sigh of relief.
The superior's statement was actually very clear and basically consistent with the instructions he had given before.
More importantly, this time, they can get strong support from aviation.
Although the conflict in 1988 ended with a great victory for our army, because the sea area where the incident occurred was too far away from Qiong Province, our aviation force was beyond the reach. Once Annan’s Su-22 attack aircraft launched an air strike, it would It is extremely detrimental to us.
Therefore, after the victory, our fleet had to retreat quickly and failed to continue to consolidate and expand the results.
This also caused Annan to become more and more aggressive in related matters.
And now... times have changed!
Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi.
Annan Air Force?
Su 22?
If he really dares to cause trouble, he will never come back!
Aviation is the foundation of surface ships!
Lin Weizhi, who had completely lost all worries, directly ordered the engine department to make an emergency move.
That is, the maximum power to start the diesel engine.
"The brave will win when we meet on a narrow road. Today I am going to see if these monkeys have the guts to try against us!"
