Chapter 391 Big victory!
On the 662101 side, the echo signal of target No. 1 suddenly lit up on the radar screen. This was caused by a large number of flying ship structures. Then the speed of target No. 1, which was as high as 35 knots, suddenly dropped sharply.
"Hit!"
The radar operator at the Guidance Research Institute, who already had experience in his own live-fire target trials, shouted with joy.
All the comrades cheered. Isn’t this the moment they have been waiting for?
This is a birthday present!
Some comrades did not even have time to wait for the captain's notification. They had already run to the deck, put their hands to their mouths and shouted at the escort boat next to them.
"Hit! Hit!"
He didn't even consider whether anyone could hear him.
However, the matter was not over yet. Ten seconds later, the light spot that had slowed down lit up again.
"The second shot hits!" the radar operator from the institute reported again.
All the comrades burst into laughter, feeling relieved!
The enemy took advantage of their large ships and fast speed to take advantage of us. After all, nowadays everyone has radar, and its effective range far exceeds the range of our artillery and torpedoes, so the fleeing party has a natural advantage.
The captain picked up the encrypted radio microphone and shouted: "The first two shots hit the enemy ship!"
The comrades on the two escort boats now knew everything. Except for those who had to stay at their posts, the rest ran to the deck and cheered. The reason for this was our cooks. They took an iron pot and started banging it in the dark night sky.
There are no enemy ships around, and the three boats are brightly lit. The battle is over, jump up!
Is the battle over? No, but it will be over soon.
The enemy's ship No. 2 also failed to detect the missile. Their radar was not as good as that of the sinking destroyer.
The captain of Ship No. 2 only knew that without any warning, Ship No. 1 suddenly had two explosions in succession, and began to catch fire and sink.
There were no enemy ships or aircraft.
He immediately came to a horrifying conclusion - there was a submarine!
Moreover, the submarine ambushed them here, otherwise there is no reason why Ship No. 1 would be hit before it could even be detected by the periscope.
At this time, it is impossible for a diesel-electric submarine to catch up with a destroyer by relying on its underwater speed. Its surface speed is higher, but not fast either.
So it could only be an ambush! Or even more than one!
He immediately gave the order: "Immediately, take a zigzag anti-submarine route! Search the sea surface for torpedo tracks with all your strength!"
At this time, he no longer had time to rescue the drowned ship No. 1. Saving himself would be a victory.
Ship No. 2 began to dance wildly on the sea, moving in a zigzag pattern.
However, this was of no use. After a while, the third Zhengxian No. 2 missile came whistling in and directly hit the port side of the No. ship, which was exposed because of its Z-shaped anti-submarine route. The hit point was also near the waterline amidships.
Unlike Ship No. 1, which has a full load capacity of more than 2 tons and close to 1 tons, Ship No. is only about tons in size. As a frigate, its hull is not strong.
At a speed of 0.85 Mach, the 550kg warhead of the Zhengxian No. directly broke into the hull and caused a huge explosion.
Hundreds of spies originally thought that this position was the safest, and all of them squatted quietly in the passenger compartment amidships, not daring to go out.
Unexpectedly, a big guy broke in.
The agents couldn't even clean up the mess with shovels, but this was not the worst.
The most serious thing was that, just like the civilian ship target that Zhengxian No. 2 hit for the first time, Ship No. 550 could not withstand the power of the kg warhead explosion, and the hull was torn into two pieces by the violent explosion.
The hull of Ship No. 2 sank, then immediately jumped up with the water column, and then fell back into the water. The two halves of the hull immediately "acted separately" and began to sink rapidly.
Ten seconds later, the fourth shot followed, but unfortunately, it missed.
The large amount of flying debris from Ship No. 2 seriously interfered with the radar of Bomb No. . The onboard computer of Bomb No. performed the expected task perfectly and crashed into the position remembered before the interference.
Then, it passed through the two halves of the No. 2 ship.
The No. 2 bomb fell into the sea not far from the wreckage of the enemy's No. ship, causing a huge splash.
Well, when it comes to battleships, this is considered a near miss, so it can be counted as a victory achievement no matter how high or low it is.
But it didn't need to regret it, because just a few minutes later, the two halves of the wreckage of Ship No. 2 disappeared on the sea surface and sank into the cold and dark sea water. Only one out of ten crew members on the ship could still float on the sea surface.
It even sank into the sea earlier than Ship No. 1 which was hit first. This became a famous case in the military fan circle in the future: Between Ship No. 1 and Ship No. 2, which one had the honor of being selected as the first result of the anti-ship missile in the world?
The first ship to be hit was Ship No. 1, but the first ship to die was Ship No. 2.
Two enemy ships: What an honor! Whoever wants to be elected can go.
On the 662101 boat, the radar operator watched as target No. 2 lit up, then went silent.
"The third shot hit enemy target No. 2!"
Another good news. After a while, the radar signal of target No. 2 disappeared. The radar operator turned his head and looked at everyone who was looking forward to it: "The No. bomb did not hit. The enemy ship may have sunk."
"it is good!"
"Great!"
"Relieve anger!"
"Let's see if they dare to harass us again."
There were also some who just laughed “hahahaha”. The ones who laughed the happiest were General Qiu and the captain.
Perhaps he was annoyed by the sound of the banging, or more likely felt it wasn't strong enough, so the captain simply picked up the radio microphone and said to the two escort captains: "All machine guns fire at the same rate, let's have some fun!"
If you want to be happy, be happy as much as you can! This decision was applauded by all the comrades.
All the machine guns of the three boats were pointed towards the sky and roared in unison.
Amid the sound of gunfire and cheers, the captain of boat 662101 picked up the encrypted radio microphone and reported to the command post: "The third missile hit the enemy target No. 2, and the fourth missile missed because the enemy ship sank."
In fact, the No. 2 missile was lost before the enemy ship No. sank, but who cares.
The commander at the command post replied with a little excitement: "Good! That's great!"
Soon, a slightly old but vigorous voice came from the microphone, floating in the three boats: "On behalf of all officers and soldiers at all levels, I would like to express my warm congratulations and sincere gratitude to the comrades who participated in the battle today. Thank you for once again defending the motherland's sea borders and striking down the enemy's arrogance. From today on, the coastal waters will no longer be a place where they can come and go as they please! You have sent the best blessings for today's festival! Thank you again."
All the comrades shouted in unison: "Serve the masses!"
Afterwards, the commander arranged the aftermath.
Boat 662101 immediately returned to summarize combat and test experience, changed sea areas, and prepared for the next step of sea trials. The other two escort boats rushed to the sea area where the enemy ship sank and tried their best to salvage the enemy personnel who fell into the water.
This place is far away from the enemy's lair. By the time they come to rescue us, even with life jackets, there will probably be only a few left.
By the way, see if there are any big fish.
At this time, there were only a few people left on Ship No. 2 in the sea area where the enemy ships were hit. Fortunately, their captain was still alive. Ship No. 2 had an open-air command deck, and their captain was blown into the sea by the shock of the explosion. Fortunately, he put on his life jacket when he escaped, otherwise he would have drowned in the sea before he woke up.
Less than 2 minutes after the sinking of Ship No. 10, Ship No. 1 also sank into the icy sea. Shouts and wailing could be heard on the water surface. Some people howled and then gradually became silent. Perhaps they had sunk, perhaps they were dead, or perhaps they were tired.
Both ships sank so quickly that only a few lifeboats were launched.
Looking at the dark sea, all the enemies were in despair. They were too close to the coast and dared not come to rescue. Fortunately, the two sides had been fighting for decades and knew that although the other side was extremely cruel, they would still be generous once the fight was over.
"Brothers, don't lose heart, hold on until their ship comes to rescue us! Hold on, they will definitely come to rescue us!"
The captain of Ship No. 2 tried his best to encourage the person who fell into the water. This was his way of encouraging. It was pretty cool.
It's really strange that the war has come to this point.
I have to say that the enemy knew us very well. About an hour after Ship No. 1 was hit, they saw searchlights on the sea, with two beams of light sweeping across the sea.
Here it comes, the savior is here!
The two fleets were about 40 kilometers apart, and the escort boat had already increased its speed to the highest 25 knots to get here in the shortest possible time. After all, it was an old boat and couldn't go any faster.
Suddenly, there were loud shouts on the sea.
"I'm here, save me~~~"
"Sir, there are people here, there are people here."
"Help, I'm injured and can't swim anymore."
"Comrade, don't leave us~~~" Well, this person is the most flexible.
After a lot of hard work by the comrades in the two escort boats, 165 people were finally rescued two hours later.
During the salvage process, the sky began to brighten, and four enemy fighter planes finally dared to come over in the daytime, as if they wanted to launch a revenge, but they were driven back by eight fighter planes sent out by our flying corps that were already on high alert.
The escort boat interrogated the rescued enemies. There were a destroyer with 313 people on board and a frigate with 129 people on board and 107 crew members, a total of 549 people. Only these 165 people were left. Among them, none of the 107 spies on board survived.
These 165 people packed the two escort boats, and the decks were full of people, as the escort boats were not big to begin with.
There was no choice but to tow the few lifeboats on the sea with ropes and divert some of the people over.
The two escort boats were towing the lifeboats. Not long after they started moving, an enemy soldier quietly approached the soldiers on our escort boats and whispered, "Comrade, I report that our captain is in the lifeboat behind us."
