Chapter 576: The Power of Electromagnetic Cannon!
On the blue sea, 101 ships slowly stopped at the border of Xinfei. Under the command of the flagship, they formed a formation to meet the enemy.
The main naval power of the Philippines is some decommissioned Western ships, such as American minesweepers, British patrol boats, and some French and American tank landing ships during World War II.
Take the Philippine Navy's largest and most powerful frigate, the "Raja Humabang" as an example. This "legendary" frigate was formerly the Cannon-class frigate built by the United States during World War II. In 1955, the U.S. military handed it over to Japan. After the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force named it "Hatsuri", it was used until 1975. In 1978, the ship was handed over to the Philippines by Japan. It was first towed to South Korea for overhaul and modernization. Served again in the Philippines in 1980.
It can be regarded as an out-and-out third-hand product, one bone fed two dogs.
The ship is equipped with 3 mk22 76mm open naval guns. The shooter is exposed and cannot get basic armor protection. Cannons and four 7mm machine guns were standard equipment for the U.S. Navy during World War II.
However, as the main force of the Philippine Navy, there are still two "Hamilton" class patrol ships eliminated by the US Coast Guard. In August 2011, the United States just handed over a retired "Hamilton" class patrol ship to the Philippines. This US-made second-hand warship was renamed "Gregorio del Pinar" by the Philippines. It is considered the most advanced warship in the Philippine Navy. .
However, the backwardness of equipment could not prevent them from contempt for the new country in their hearts.
They may be hypocritical when confronting Huaguo head-on, but they don't need to fight against a small country like Xinguo!
There are 51 main combat ships, more than 50 auxiliary ships, and more than 100 warships lined up on the border of New Philippines in the western Pacific Ocean. The naval soldiers hold their heads high. Standing on the deck with a gun, it looks like a "king of the army"!
The commander of the operation is Major General Jesus Milian, who can be regarded as a "young and promising" faction in the Philippine political arena. During his tenure as the commander of the Philippine Navy. He once sent the Marine Corps and the U.S. military to jointly hold a "landing assault" exercise, put forward the strategy of "frontline first" and the strategy of "playing hooligans" on the beach, and held the 116th anniversary celebration of the founding of the army in Ulugan Bay, which is only a hundred nautical miles away from the disputed islands. And plans to build a naval base there
Standing in the command module tower of the flagship Hamilton-class patrol ship. Admiral Jesus straightened his navy cap and looked at the peaceful sea level with his hands behind his back.
For an overwhelming war, he was thinking of ways to humiliate his overwhelmed opponents.
The Philippines needs a real battle to show its naval strength to the world, so as to deter the young people who repeatedly harass its borders.
Guardian frigate?
It is very strong, that's right, Maozi's weapons have always been very rough. But I heard that those idiots removed the 100mm a190 naval gun on the ship and replaced it with a gun that couldn't be seen at all. The wide and flat gun body is like a lying "tuning fork". Jesús doesn't think that thing will pose a threat to the "Hamilton" patrol ship under him. The most important main gun is missing. With just two 5mm machine guns, what can even a Guardian-class frigate do?
Jesus knew very well that although Mao Zi sold the ship to Jiang Chen, the anti-aircraft missiles and anti-ship missiles on the ship were dismantled. After all, these equipments are all military secrets, even if they are friends in business, Russia has no reason to give them all.
The adjutant walked to his side and gave a neat military salute.
"Five A50s have arrived in the sky and entered cruise mode. Harpoon 1 requests an attack order."
Jesús smiled and did not answer, but asked an irrelevant question.
"Rolando. Let me tell you, what color suit is more appropriate to wear when attending the victory ceremony."
Rolando was stunned. Then he smiled happily.
"I recommend the blue one."
"It's the same as I think, that's my favorite suit." While speaking, Jesus squinted his eyes and looked at the distant sea horizon, singing a song in ancient Tagalog Limerick, "Our warriors are eager to try, but the other side is still on the way"
However, the admiral obviously had no literary talent, so he got stuck before a few sentences. The captain and first mate next to him were all watching, and Jesus couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Seeing this, Rolando, who was standing aside, immediately nodded and bowed and untied his boss. "Drawling is like going to the execution ground."
"That's right! It's like going to the execution ground!" Jesús laughed and patted Rolando on the shoulder, glad that his subordinates were so knowledgeable. "Don't wait, pass my order! The whole ship is moving forward. The speed is 6 knots. If they don't come, we will fight over! And our aviation formation, approve the battle!"
"Obey!" Rolando straightened his back, blushed excitedly, and raised his voice on the walkie-talkie, "This is the command tower, Harpoon 1, the target is the opponent's flagship, and Harpoon 1 is approved for battle?"
There was a busy tone on the intercom.
Rolando's face gradually changed, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
At this moment, on the deck outside the conning tower, someone screamed and pointed to the clear sky.
"what is that!"
Among the white clouds, a fighter plane roared past, and then two sparks bloomed in the sky.
On the flying fragments, the word a was engraved, and crashed into the ocean amidst a series of astonished sights. Like a tiger entering a flock, the Aurora 20 cannon shredded the fragile armor and faith of the A50 like sharp claws, repeating this round with high mobility.
Two of them were shot down in the instant of the exchange of fire, and the remaining three A50s have realized the gap in equipment and tried to get rid of the lock of the infrared missiles.
However, the two Aurora 20s did not give them a chance to escape.
Five trails of flames swirled and staggered in the air, confronting each other for an instant, and three clusters of sparks exploded in the clear sky again.
The Philippine fleet that reacted immediately released a rain of orange-yellow bullets to the sky, but the Aurora 20 dodged it deftly like a petrel, dropped two aerial bombs, and quickly rose above the clouds. Thermal decoys were flying in the air, confusing the chasing anti-aircraft missiles.
"The frigate Raja Humabang was shot! The ammunition compartment caught fire! Ahh!"
"The Kemira anti-submarine ship was shot! The deck broke!"
Jesús' face was ashen, because the amount of information was too large, he couldn't accept it at all for a while. The previous ease has been shattered, and he raised his trembling fingers, and he straightened his crooked navy cap, but he couldn't put it on well.
The captain of "Sir" also looked at Jesus with a pale face, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
But no matter what, he couldn't say the word "retreat".
At this moment, the mutation happened again!
An orange-yellow arc cut through the silent sea waves, and passed through the side of the Hamilton patrol ship sailing at the forefront of the fleet without warning, leaving a hideous gap! The hull was torn apart by the huge kinetic energy of the shell, and the steel frame was torn apart, and it was pushed to the sea. The seawater poured in frantically and instantly submerged this "imported ship", which the Philippines regards as a pride.
Jesús' complexion has turned waxy white, and the previous arrogance can no longer be seen on his face.
His adjutant, Rolando, had already forgotten his words, and his pupils were sluggishly looking at the calm sea.
They couldn't even see the shadow of the opponent's ship clearly, and they were pierced by the shells flying from the side.
Yes, this is an asymmetric war.
It's just that the identity of the asymmetrical party does not belong to them, but to the opposite party.
"Run!"
The vain pride was shattered, and Jesus used his last courage to shout these words into the walkie-talkie.
The Philippine navy began to disperse, then turned around and fled.
However, the two guardian-class frigates that had already arrived on the battlefield would not let them succeed. The raised Type 50 J-type shipboard electromagnetic guns kept charging and firing repeatedly. Under the pull of the earth's gravity, the orange-yellow trajectory draws an arc of great curvature. Under the observation of the Tianyan 1 satellite, it harvests the fleeing Philippine ships.
Two Kilo-class submarines were cruising on the edge of the battlefield, using torpedoes to kill those ships trying to escape, like fishing boats driving away fish.
The nightmare belonging to the Philippine Navy has just begun!
Shards of steel were looming in the waves, and the wailing and prayers were drowned in the waves of explosions one after another.
The flames bloomed on the sea surface, reflecting the bright red sky.
For a moment, people couldn't tell where the sunset glow was.
(I went to the hospital for an examination yesterday. Fortunately, it was not a serious problem. Thank you for your concern. The doctor told me not to sit all the time, exercise more, and be careful not to stay up late, and then prescribed some medicine for me. By the way, I complained Let’s see, the current hospital is also really, if there is a disagreement, people will be hospitalized and put on an intravenous drip, and there are so many readers waiting for me to update, how can I have the time to be hospitalized! Cough cough, just kidding.
