On the blue sea, 101 ships slowly stopped at the Country F border. Under the command of the flagship, they formed a formation to face the enemy.
The main naval forces of the Country F were some retired Western ships, such as minesweepers, British patrol boats, and some French and UA World War II tank landing ships.
Take the largest and most powerful frigate of the Country F Navy, "Rajah Humabon", as an example. The predecessor of this "legendary" frigate was a Cannon-class frigate built by the UA during World War II. In 1955, the UA handed it over to Nippon. The Nippon Maritime Self-Defense Force named it "First Day" and used it until 1975. In 1978, the ship was handed over to the Country F by Nippon. It was first towed to South Korea for overhaul and modernization before it was put into service again in 1980.
It was a genuine third-hand product, a bone fed to two dogs.
The ship was equipped with three MK22 76 mm open naval cannons. The shooter was exposed and did not receive basic armor protection. Three "Burfoss" 40 mm dual anti-aircraft cannons, six "Erlikon" 20 mm anti-aircraft cannons, and four 12.7 mm machine guns were the standard of the UA Navy during World War II.
However, as the main force of the Country F Navy, it was two "Hamilton" -class patrol ships that were eliminated by the UA Coast Guard. In August 2011, the UA just handed over a decommissioned "Hamilton" -class patrol ship to the Country F. This second-hand UA warship was renamed "Gregorio Del Pinar" by the Country F Navy. It was the most advanced warship in the Country F Navy.
However, the outdated equipment didn't stop them from despising Xin.
They may be weak against Hua, but they didn't need to fight a small country like Xin!
51 main combat ships, more than 50 auxiliary ships, and more than a hundred warships lined up on the Country F border in the Western Pacific Ocean. Navy soldiers held their heads high and stood on the deck with guns in hand, giving off the vibe of a "king's army"!
The commander of the operation was Major Admiral Jesús Millán, who was considered "young and promising" in Country F politics. During his tenure as the commander of the Country F Navy, he sent Marines to conduct a joint "landing assault" exercise with the UA military, proposed the "frontline first" strategy, and held the 116th anniversary celebration in Ulugan Bay, only a hundred nautical miles away from the disputed islands, and planned to build a naval base there …
Standing in the command tower of the flagship "Hamilton-class patrol ship", Admiral Jesús adjusted his navy hat and looked at the quiet sea.
In the face of such an overwhelming war, he was thinking about how to humiliate his opponents who overestimated themselves.
Country F needed a real victory to demonstrate its navy's strength to the world in order to deter the thieves that repeatedly harassed its borders.
Guardian-class frigate?
Yes, they were very strong. Russian weapons had always been very crude. However, I heard that those idiots dismantled the 100mm A-190 naval cannon on the ship and replaced it with a cannon that I can't even tell what it is. The wide and flat barrel was like a "tuning fork" lying down. Jesús didn't think that thing would pose a threat to the Hamilton patrol ship he was sitting on. Without the most important main cannon, what could a Guardian-class frigate do with just two 14.5mm machine guns?
Jesús knew very well that although the Russians sold the ship to Jiang Chen, the anti-air missiles and anti-ship missiles on the ship were all dismantled. After all, these weapons were classified as military secrets. Even if they were business friends, Russia had no reason to give them everything they had.
The adjutant walked next to him and performed a neat military salute.
"Five FA-50s have arrived in the air and entered cruise mode. Harpoon-1 requesting an attack order. "
Jesús smiled and didn't answer, but he asked an unrelated question.
"Rolando, why don't you tell us what color suit is most appropriate for attending the celebration ceremony?"
Rolando paused for a moment before he smiled cheerfully.
"I recommend the blue one."
"Just as I thought. That's my favorite suit." As Jesús spoke, he narrowed his eyes and gazed at the horizon in the distance. He recited a limerick in the ancient Tagalog language, "Our warriors are already eager to try, but the other side is still dawdling on the road …"
However, the admiral obviously didn't have any literary talent as he was stuck after only two sentences. The captain and the first officer next to him were watching, and Jesús' expression was a bit awkward.
Rolando, who was standing on the side, immediately nodded and bowed to his superior. "Dawdling like going to the execution ground."
"Yes! It's like going to the execution ground! " Jesús laughed and patted Rolando's shoulder. He was very happy that his subordinate was so tactful. "We can't wait anymore, pass down my order! All ships forward, speed 6 knots. If they don't come, we'll fight! And our aviation formation, approved to go to battle! "
"Roger!" Rolando straightened his back, his face was flushed with excitement, and he shouted into the intercom, "This is the command tower, Harpoon-1, the target is the enemy's flagship, approved to go to battle … Harpoon-1?"
The other end of the intercom was busy.
Rolando's expression gradually changed, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
Just then, on the deck outside the command tower, someone screamed and pointed to the clear sky.
"What is that!"
Among the white clouds, a fighter plane whizzed by, and then two sparks bloomed in the air.
On the flying debris, the word "FA" was engraved, and it crashed into the ocean under everyone's shocked gazes. Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, the Aurora-20s tore apart the fragile armor and faith of the FA-50s like claws, repeating the cycle with high mobility.
Two FA-50s were shot down in an instant, and the remaining three FA-50s already realized the gap in equipment and tried to get rid of the infrared missiles.
However, the two Aurora-20s didn't give them a chance to escape.
Five tail flames rotated and intertwined in the air, and in an instant, three bursts of sparks exploded in the clear sky again.
Country F's fleet reacted and immediately unleashed an orange-yellow rain of bullets into the sky, but the Aurora-20s nimbly dodged it, dropped two missiles, and quickly rose above the clouds. Heat lures danced in the air and disrupted the pursuing anti-aircraft missiles.
"The frigate Raja Humabon was hit! The ammunition storage is on fire! AHHHHHHHHH! "
"… The Camilla anti-submarine ship was hit! The deck is broken! "
Jesús' face was pale. Because the amount of information was too much, he couldn't accept it all at once. His previous ease was completely shattered. He raised his trembling fingers and adjusted his crooked navy cap, but he couldn't put it on properly.
"Sir …" The captain also looked at Jesús with a pale face, and the ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
However, in any case, he couldn't say the word "retreat."
Just then, something strange happened again!
An orange-yellow arc cut through the silent waves and passed through the side of the Hamilton patrol ship sailing at the front of the fleet without warning, leaving a hideous gap! The hull was torn apart by the huge kinetic energy of the shell and pushed into the sea. The sea surged in and instantly submerged the "foreign ship" regarded as the pride of Country F.
Jesús' face turned pale, and the previous conceit was nowhere to be seen.
His adjutant Rolando, on the other hand, had already forgotten how to speak. He stared blankly at the calm sea.
They didn't even see the shadow of the enemy ship before they were penetrated by the shell flying from the side.
Yes, it was an asymmetric war.
However, the asymmetric status didn't belong to them, but to the enemy.
"Run!"
His false pride was shattered. With the last of his courage, Jesús shouted into the walkie-talkie.
Country F's navy began to disperse and then turned around to flee.
However, the two Guardian-class frigates that had already arrived on the battlefield wouldn't let them succeed. The Type-50 J-type electromagnetic pulse cannons raised high in the air continuously charged and fired. The orange-yellow trajectory drew a large curvature arc under the pull of Earth's gravity. Under the observation of the Skyeye X1 satellite, it harvested the fleeing Country F ships.
Two Kilo-class submarines cruised on the edge of the battlefield and used torpedoes to kill the ships that attempted to escape, like fishing boats driving away shoals of fish.
The nightmare of Country F's navy had just begun!
Fragments of steel were faintly discernible in the waves, and the screams and prayers were drowned in the waves of explosions.
Flames bloomed on the surface of the sea and reflected the redness of the sky.
For a moment, people couldn't tell where the sunset was.
