Veteran never die

Chapter 176 If You Remember, He Has No Regrets

0175 If you remember, he will have no regrets

"The Chinese navy is a teacher of benevolence and righteousness, but when the territorial waters of the motherland are violated, no matter how powerful the enemy is, they will fight back and defend the motherland's sea rights and national dignity to the death!"

It is always said that our army swallows its breath and does not take any practical actions in the face of external provocations.

Then do you ever remember, them, back then?
Can not remember.

As time goes by, no one remembers those people that year.

Can't the Chinese navy?

When these words came out, they were chilled.

If you remember, they will have no regrets.

If you forget, they have no complaints.

Wang Liang asked netizens: "I want to ask, is there anyone who still remembers the Xisha Naval Battle back then?"

In the comment area, netizens responded one after another.

"Xisha sea battle? I really don't know about this."

"Did we fight with a foreign country? Which country did we fight with? The old chief can give us some science."

"Xisha naval battle, I know, because my grandfather participated in this battle back then, and I often hear him mention it."

"As a military fan, I know that this naval battle is the last boarding battle in the history of the Chinese navy. After that, the Chinese navy will never use small boats to hit other big ships. It was a contest of fearless death. Knowing that you are invincible, you still have to shine your sword."

"Although I don't know the process of the naval battle, I know the historical significance of the Xisha naval battle. This battle established the pattern of the Xisha Islands. It is the first maritime anti-aggression operation conducted by our new Chinese navy since its establishment. For the first time in the history of the national navy, it won a complete victory in a foreign war. After this battle, there has been no war in Xisha for 40 years!"

"Oh, reading the comments of comrades, my heart is itching, the old chief will tell us quickly!"

Wang Liangliang nodded: "I participated in this battle, so I also have the right to speak. Some of the circumstances at that time are still fresh in my memory. I would like to share with you and give you some inspiration."

After finishing speaking, Wang Liang began to narrate.

That was 1974.

A stormy year.

Not long after New Year's Day, our army's intelligence department intercepted the news that South Vietnamese warships were frequently active in the Xisha Yongle waters.

Prior to this, they had secretly replaced the sovereignty monuments set up by our army on the Taiping, Zhongye, Nanzi and other islands in the Nansha Islands, and sent troops to take military occupation of several islands in the Nansha Islands and Xisha Coral Island.

Provocative, outright provocative.

Recently, their landing force has been transferred to Da Nang.

The intention has been very clear, that is, to invade and occupy our entire Paracel Islands.

"Who is this used to their problems? Where do these monkeys get their self-confidence?" Wang Liang asked.

"The background at that time was that Nixon made up his mind to withdraw troops from South Vietnam in order to win the presidential election. Before withdrawing troops, a large amount of US military equipment was left to the South Vietnamese army. After receiving more than ten US warships in a row, the level of equipment of the Vietnamese Navy It far surpasses our South China Sea Fleet."

Scenes of the past appeared before Wang Liang's eyes.

At that time, the intelligence room of our army was divided into two parts: sea situation and air situation.

In the command post, two large military maps of the South China Sea and airspace are hung on the walls on the east and west sides.

The radio buzzed non-stop.

The personnel on duty are on standby 24 hours a day to ensure that all foreign ships and aircraft passing through our sea area and airspace are marked on the map in a timely and accurate manner according to their azimuth and activity.

Busy, very busy.

The atmosphere was suddenly tense.

We all know that there is going to be a war, and it will still be a vicious battle in which the strength of the enemy and ourselves is very different.

"At that time, the Yulin base was in charge of the Xisha waters. The Chinese Navy had four frigates, but none of them were capable of combat. Among them, the Nanning was out of service. There is a fault, and a date has been set for return to the factory for repair."

Wang Liang shook his head helplessly, and said regretfully: "There are also gunboats and torpedo boats, but the tonnage is too small, which determines that their voyage is very limited, and they don't have the ability to fight in the open sea."

"Under the circumstances at that time, only Type 6604 submarine hunters were able to go out to sea, and these six submarine hunters could only run as fast as 12 knots. The reality is that these six Type 6604 submarine hunters often went wrong."

Wang Liang realized that many netizens don't know much about the navy's ships, and they don't understand what they mean when they just talk about the models.

It is difficult to appreciate the extent to which the strength of the enemy and the enemy is very different.

So, Wang Liang found a piece of paper and drew a comparison map of the strength of the enemy and ourselves.

There are a total of four South Vietnamese warships with a total displacement of 5983 tons.

Among them: Destroyer No. 16 (also known as Li Changjie, with a tonnage of 2040 tons)
Destroyer No. 5 (also known as Chen Chongping, tonnage: 1776 tons)
Frigate No. 10 (known as Chen Qingyu, tonnage: 1253 tons)
Minesweeper No. 10 (also known as Rage, 650 tons tonnage)
The South China Sea Fleet of the Chinese People's Liberation Army Navy has put into operation six ships with a total displacement of 2530 tons.

Among them: 271 "Jinzhou" and 274 "Luzhou" submarine hunters, displacement: 319.6 tons

Submarine hunters No. 281 and No. 282, displacement: 450 tons, fully loaded.

Minesweepers No. 396 and No. 389, displacement: 570 tons.

Wang Liang explained: "Why do I only talk about the displacement of warships? In the navy, displacement is an important indicator used to indicate the size of a ship. In naval battles at that time, the larger the displacement of a warship, the more dominant it was."

"A warship with a large displacement has strong seakeeping and good seaworthiness. In addition, the space on the warship is large, and there is enough space to load supplies and combat materials. It has strong ocean-going combat capabilities. In addition, a warship with a large displacement has enough space. To optimize the weapon configuration, so that the overall combat effectiveness of the ship is better."

在西沙海战中，首先实施侵入的是南越驱逐舰16号（2040吨），紧接其后的是南越增派的5号驱逐舰（1776吨）和10号护卫舰（1253吨）。

Look at the Chinese Navy again.

Neither the minesweeper nor the submarine hunter has a displacement of more than 600 tons.

"When I officially started a battle with the enemy, the combined tonnage of the four ships of our army could not keep up with the tonnage of one destroyer of the enemy. How should this battle be fought?"

After Wang Liang finished his introduction, all the netizens took a deep breath in unison.

The gap is really too big.

One is in the sky and the other is on the ground.

This is no different from hitting a stone with an egg.

"Yes, the enemy understands this situation and is confident. They know that our army will definitely not fire the first shot. It was not until they approached our naval ships that the four South Vietnamese ships attacked the Chinese naval fleet at the same time. We were forced to attack the formation of Chinese naval ships. Rise up and defend yourself."

What kind of battle scene is this?
Wang Liang is still fresh in his memory.

Unlike in the movie, the warships of both sides shelled each other.
