Chapter 680 The Power of the Harpoon

"Boom!" A rapid-fire artillery shell was fired from the escorting patrol boat with a sharp howling sound, and exploded not far from the artillery pit.

"Boom, boom, boom" just as everyone was about to get up, gunfire rang out, and immediately, gunpowder smoke wrapped in rubble and smashed at everyone's heads and faces.

Soon, the preparation for the first artillery fire was over, and the transport ship approached the Diaoyu Island again, and put down two rubber boats, but different from the last time, this time there were two grenade launchers on the rubber boats .At the same time, the radar of the Rajput has been able to fully capture the trajectory of the 166 submarine.

Just when Qiao Han was about to issue an attack order, the communications soldier reported loudly: "Fifty nautical miles to the southeast, two ships are coming in formation at full speed, and the speed is 25 knots." There was a roar of naval guns, and at the same time a series of plain code messages came: "Indian warship, you have entered China's territorial waters! Please return immediately! Please return immediately!"

"Bastard!" Qiao Han turned pale with anger. This is the side of the middle line close to India. When did it become China's territorial waters?He picked up the communicator casually and said in a deep voice, "Chinese warship, this is Indian territorial waters. To avoid unnecessary trouble, please leave quickly."

Just as the communicators were constantly reporting the position of the Chinese fleet, the light on the radar kept flashing in the direction of the Chinese warships. However, besides the two Chinese warships, there were two more strange ones on the screen at this time. Signal.

"Rocket! It's a Chinese ship-borne rocket!" The communications soldier slammed the receiver on his head and shouted hoarsely. At the same time as he shouted loudly, the radar warning light on the warship quickly flashed a dazzling red light. . "Attention everyone, the Chinese ship-borne rocket is flying towards us at a distance of 45 nautical miles and a speed of 550 knots."

"Turn on the anti-aircraft artillery!" Qiao Han gave an order immediately after panicking.On the flagship Rajput, the four front-mounted dual-mounted anti-aircraft artillery, under the guidance of the communicator, blindly sprayed flames in the direction of the rocket attack. Although the interception hit rate is very small, in this case I had no choice but to use this method. Could it be that I was waiting to die?

In the command cabin, everyone nervously watched the flashing light spots on the radar screen. When they saw the news of a light spot, everyone held their breath consciously.The dense cross-fire network composed of anti-aircraft guns did not even intercept a single rocket. Fortunately, one rocket lost its sight under the action of the wind and fell into the sea and exploded, while the other successfully passed through the fire net. A large hole with a diameter of more than one meter was severely dug in the superstructure of the Rajput. Fortunately, no ammunition device was detonated. Otherwise, the flagship would have been buried in the belly of the fish before the official exchange of fire with the Chinese warship.

While Qiao Han ordered the damage controller to put out the fire immediately, he secretly wiped the sweat from his forehead, and everyone in the command cabin let out a long sigh.And just when Qiao Han was about to give an order to counterattack, the communications soldier screamed again at the top of his lungs: "Your Excellency, Rocket!"

On the radar screen at this moment, countless fast-moving light spots are constantly flashing, occupying every square on the screen surface, and every jumping light spot represents a Chinese Harpoon-type ship-borne rocket. The speed doubled in seconds, quickly filling the radar screen.

Suddenly, Qiao Han's body trembled violently like an electric shock, and all the doubts in his mind were instantly revealed, "Scam, this is a scam. The Chinese first used 166 as a bait, and they were the first to show hostility. state, and then lead the entire advance fleet into the encirclement, and finally gather and annihilate them. We were fooled!" At this moment, Qiao Han wanted to take a knife and cut himself piece by piece.He knew that he had made a fatal mistake, starting from 166 attacking the sea otter, and even said that starting from the Chinese patrol ship attacking the Indian patrol ship, he should have ordered the annihilation of all known enemies, instead of encircling 166 as he did.Looking at the soldiers rushing to various posts outside the porthole, he knew that the war would be decided in just a few minutes, and what he was relying on now was God's will.

On the surface of the sea, the flight trajectory of the Harpoon rocket was stable at five meters above the sea level. Immediately relying on its powerful new solid rocket, it easily increased the speed to Mach 0.9 in an instant. A beautiful reflection. At 40 kilometers, the booster rocket is separated from the missile body, and at 35 kilometers, the missile body flies towards the enemy ship in a smooth arc relying on inertia.In an instant, the radar warning signals on all Indian ships beeped fiercely at the same time, and the red lights representing danger flashed on every ship, every cabin, red and black alternately, and countless terrified faces were anxiously guessing what might happen. matter.

The formation of the advance fleet began to become chaotic. Some warships were shooting hopelessly into the air, trying to intercept the rockets in the air with a dense crossfire network, and some warships turned their hulls in panic, hoping to avoid a fatal blow.

Qiao Han only felt cold all over his body now, especially after seeing the opponent's rocket group successfully broke through the anti-aircraft firepower net, he even had the idea of ​​abandoning the ship.On the deck, the sailors picked up their rifles and started shooting hopelessly into the air, while in the command cabin, the technicians could only stare at the radar screen and sigh.

Finally, a harpoon escaped the heavy barrage and was the first to penetrate the huge steel plate of an Indian cruiser. Under the action of strong inertia, the projectile weighing more than 300 kilograms easily tore open the steel plate of the warship, and the entire missile was like a huge leech, deeply piercing into the huge hull.In the cabin, the soldiers staying behind suddenly felt the steel deck under their feet swell up instantly, and then with a roar, the deck broke into two sections, and the huge air pressure ejected burning flames and fragments composed of the deck and the missile body, blowing out from the hull. The interior leaps through the topmost deck.Countless fragments penetrated the chests of the Indian sailors one after another.At the same time, all the warships were hit by rockets to varying degrees. For a while, gunpowder smoke filled the sea and flames shot up into the sky!The attack lasted 15 minutes, nearly ten warships sank, and fully four-fifths of the Indian advance fleet sank to the bottom of the sea.Looking at the battleship that exploded not far away, and the struggling sailors on the water, Qiao Han hopelessly drew out his pistol and pointed it at his temple.

It was only this time that Qiao Han really saw the super strength of the Chinese navy. The fleet he led didn't even come into contact with the enemy ship, and it turned into scrap copper and rotten iron floating on the sea. A toddler takes on a strong man.

The 166 submarine has resurfaced and is cruising at a low speed around the Indian advance fleet. As far as the eye can see, the wreckage of warships is scattered within a radius of more than ten kilometers.Yang Xuancheng took the lead to board the upper deck of the submarine, and the sound of dying Indian Ah San's cries for help and the explosion of ammunition continued to be heard from all around.The sea was filled with smog, and from time to time there was a stench of burnt corpses. Not far away, the corpses of Indian sailors sank and floated with the waves hitting the wreckage of the ship.

Fighting continues on Little Andaman Island.The grenade launcher easily erected a smoke barrier between the defensive position and the sea surface. Under the cover of this barrier, two rubber boats carefully boarded the island again.After the smoke passed, the Huaxia 100 high-speed machine gun in Huang Bingheng's hand rang first.A recruit who was in the same trench as him was curled up at the bottom of the trench at the moment. He even hoped that his entire body could be hidden in the helmet, and the dense rain of bullets on his head seemed to be hitting him one by one. .

"Brother, get up, don't be afraid, fight them." Huang Bingheng held a machine gun in one hand and grabbed the recruit's wrist with the other, trying to pull him back up.

"If you are afraid, you will definitely die. If you are not afraid, you may not be able to live. Da da, the more afraid you are, the faster you will die. Da da da da, the enemy will not let you go because you are afraid. On the contrary, the more you are afraid of him, he will die." The more they will bully you for being weak and unable to defeat the enemy." Huang Bingheng encouraged the recruits' fighting spirit while shooting.

When the fire support ended again, the recruit hesitantly picked up a bazooka.The trigger of the bazooka was pressed heavily, and the rocket shot straight at the patrol boat that was loading. The captain of the patrol boat saw the rocket with white smoke coming towards him, and immediately fell down in a standard posture. Pose prone on the floor of the cockpit.

boom!A dull explosion sounded, and the bazooka did little damage to the several hundred-ton patrol boat, but the patrol boat that was still frightened retreated quickly.

Roy gritted his teeth and waved his hands to launch a second round of artillery cover. At this moment, there was a buzzing sound in the air. He looked up and saw several Chinese fighter planes with the dragon flag logo flying over in a low-altitude dive. Finally, my heart skipped a beat, and I saw an airborne grenade spinning towards me at high speed.

Although it was late at night, the lights were still on in the Imperial Navy Department. Liu Buchan, Lin Jianzhang, and some senior officials of the Navy Department were still discussing matters in front of the military map. An adjutant pushed the door recklessly and came in. Stiff, said: "Your Excellency, Line [-]."

Liu Buchan showed a slight expression, and asked Lin Jianzhang a few words, then hurriedly left the conference room, returned to his office, picked up the receiver, put down the phone, and left the office of the Navy Department with a very solemn expression. Already waiting in front of the door.He got in the car and stopped for a moment in front of the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City without daring to stop.After getting off the car, he sat in a sedan chair carried by four people and went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation under the guidance of several eunuchs.

After entering the East Nuan Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he was taken aback for a moment.I saw Guan Xuqing leaning on the dragon floor, with Feng Xianghua, Xu Shichang, Feng Ru, Zhang Zuolin, and Jiang Baili standing in front of him. The room was deadly silent, and the room was filled with smoke from two aromatherapy burners.
