Chapter 487 The first batch of prisoners
On the 4th, the news that the First Aircraft Carrier Formation raided Beidao was reported by Jeju Island TV, and only a few mainstream media in a few countries reported it.
It’s not that other media don’t want to report it, but that they can’t get such information at all. In addition to media journalists from many countries that are still stranded in Australia at this time, all journalists on the North Island of New Zealand have a large amount of news materials, but they can’t send them out at all. Even if they use the most advanced satellite communications in their country, they can’t contact the outside world at all.
As for the South Island, well, there are also communication restrictions at this time. Moreover, after completing the removal of the remaining enemies, the First Land Brigade on the South Island is recruiting a large number of local policemen. There will be a major operation on the South Island next. It is unrealistic to simply rely on the thousands of people from the First Brigade.
Compared with the very little news on the North Island, the islands and reefs that occurred in the Nansha Islands yesterday have become a hot topic around the world. Among the nearly thirty islands occupied by Vietnam, 19 of them have been equipped with private territory flags on them today. Although the other few are not Vietnamese flags on them at this time, they are not equipped with Tian Dynasty flags, and the blue sky and white sun flags on them are flying.
The Ministry of Government has filed a serious protest against Taiwan for this act of snatching food from the tiger's mouth, but that's all. Islands and reefs that were not originally private territory are now temporarily occupied by Vietnam, but when will they be returned to the Celestial Empire? Therefore, there is no need to have any conflicts with Taiwan for a few islands and reefs. After all, it's just a family. Even if Ji Feng still has the nationality of the Celestial Empire at this time, the private territory does not belong to the Celestial Empire after all.
After 10 a.m. local time on the 4th, trucks drove out of the port with heavy supplies at the Baima Port in southeastern Cambodia. In front and in the middle, 80 T-55 tanks and 320 wheeled armored vehicles were followed by the convoy. The models were a bit old, but they were drawn from a brand new military truck. In addition to a large number of assault rifles and bullets, it also included 500 real old-fashioned products MG34 and 5-base ammunition. As for the accessories of the firearms, I'm sorry, no, if it breaks, you can fight.
These things cost Ji Feng only 170 dragon coins in total, which is really cheap. It’s not that Ji Feng is reluctant to spend more money to exchange them for mainstream equipment today. Instead, Cambodia is using these things now. If it’s too advanced, their army has to be familiar with them again, and it’s far less effective than these things to form faster combat power.
Although the Vietnamese Army suffered heavy damage from the private territory air force, it did not really hurt. Even now, the Vietnamese Air Force and Navy retreated to the north and did not dare to contact the Navy and Air Force of the Ministry of Defense. However, the army did not retreat. They had already begun to assemble on a large scale and quickly rushed towards the incoming army in Cambodia.
Although the two sides have not started fighting immediately, they believe they will be almost in contact this afternoon or evening. They have just lost their air superiority. I don’t know if they can withstand the joint attack from Cambodia and the Air Force of the Ministry of Defense. Chai Detective’s fighter fleet is either a decoration, they are just here to help Cambodia attack the Vietnamese Air Force and the heavy equipment army. Not to mention Vietnam, which has no air defense capabilities, even Cambodia’s own air force can play.
The fleet of four Seahawk-class destroyers and two Seawolf-class cruisers was divided into two groups, one of which swept across all surrounding islands and shore military forces directly from southwestern Vietnam. This is mainly the territory of the Vietnamese Navy's Second and Fifth Sea Area, and the other team started from the Mekong Estuary and advanced all the way north, with the goal directed to the famous Vietnamese naval base, Cam Ran Bay, but this is the territory of the Fourth Sea Area, Vietnam.
It is also unlucky to say that the Vietnamese navy is not as good as the Navy ships of the Nansha Islands. After declaring war, Vietnam withdrew the warships there as soon as possible. However, it finally returned to its own waters in Vietnam. Before we could dock, we received a new order, and all the navy went north to "defend Hanoi."
Well, the Navy itself knows that this is an excuse to save their lives. Although some of them are not convinced, they are more aware of the huge gap between the two sides, especially the navy captains. They naturally know that even if all Vietnam warships combined, they cannot defeat any aircraft carrier formation of the Ministry of Defense. Even if there is no aircraft carrier formation now, the ferociousness of the Seahawk destroyer and the Seawolf cruiser has spread all over the world with the destruction of the New Australia Combined Fleet.
Just a sea wolf cruiser destroyed the combined fleets of more than 30 mainstream countries in the world. Such terrifying attack power really shocked all naval powers. In addition to its well-known strong defense capabilities, no navy of any country was willing to fight with it without absolute certainty, because failure is not just a loss of face, but also the lives of countless soldiers.
Unfortunately, their wish is about to be shattered. They can indeed escape, but where can they escape?
For the commanders of the two small fleets who were eager to make meritorious service, or were determined to kill their enemies, they vowed to send all Vietnamese navies to the bottom of the sea to feed fish to see if they dared to provoke the authority of private territory in the future.
"Report, four submarines were found lurking on the seabed ahead of me. According to their appearance parameters, they should be "Kilo"-class submarines purchased from Russia by Vietnam."
In the command room of the Sea Wolf cruiser with the North Line Fleet No. 65, the sonars immediately reported it excitedly when they found out that they had not encountered even an enemy ship since they set out. They thought they would only be able to contact the enemy when they arrived in Cam Ran Bay. Unexpectedly, these guys had four submarines ready to ambush them halfway.
"It's great. Although the things are indeed a little old, they can be worth a little money after all. We can't learn from the Air Force guys. They are just destroying their ideas and don't know how to make money at all. I ordered and immediately warned the four submarines to float up immediately, otherwise they will be sunk in five minutes! The 1-2 torpedo tube was prepared." Captain Zhou Xiubin was also happy and immediately issued a combat order after confirming the order, which immediately made all the soldiers in the entire command room laugh.
But he has a good idea, but unfortunately Vietnam is not so cooperative. The distance between the two sides is still nearly 50 nautical miles. How could they believe that the fleet really discovered them? Even if they were discovered, how could the torpedo range be so far?
Seeing the four submarines still hiding in several small depressions on the seabed, Zhou Xiubin snorted coldly and ordered again: "The No. 1 and No. 2 torpedo tubes were launched warningly at the No. 1 target! The order has been confirmed, launch directly!"
"Understandembodiment target No. 1 has been locked, it is launched with warning, the torpedo is ready, the order has been confirmed, it is launched..."
With the launch of two sailfish torpedoes, the small seabed hill next to a submarine hidden in just over two minutes was suddenly blown up by two torpedoes, and even a lot of gravel, silt and shrapnel bounced onto the body of a submarine not far away. The submarine was so scared that it no longer cared about hiding and quickly started the engine to escape from the exploded seabed.
But as soon as he moved, the four submarines received a warning again: "You can float up immediately and close the engine and open the hood. All personnel will leave the cabin. This is the last warning. If you do not receive your reply within 2 minutes, we will sink you immediately!"
The captains of the four submarines were all stunned. They thought that there would never be a torpedo that could hit so far, and they even thought that they were hiding well. Unexpectedly, not only were the four submarines exposed to the other party's sonar, but even the other's torpedo that could hit so far.
Faced with the situation where they were discovered but could not escape, if they did not want to be killed, it seemed that they could only surrender. But until this time, there was no precedent for surrender. They did not want to be the first to surrender. But if they were asked to die, they would not be happy, so they immediately reported this situation to the Fourth Sea Command of the Cam Ran Bay.
As for the death they imagined, let's forget it. Their torpedoes cannot hit that far, and their sonar has not even figured out where the enemy is now. They only know how far away they are in the south, and where they are, let alone deal with others.
When the 2 minutes were about to arrive, the captains of the four submarines who had not received their superiors had decided to stop resisting. There were more than 400 people in the four submarines. Instead of being killed for no reason, it would be better to be captured. As for escaping, don't fantasize about escaping. How could a submarine, such as a snail-like thing, run over a warship or torpedo? After being discovered, there was only the fate of being sunk besides surrender.
Less than three minutes after they replied that Zhou Xiubin agreed to accept being floated, the Jinlan Bay Command delayed their opinions on surrendering, which made the four captains secretly call for luck.
When the four submarines floated to the surface, closed the engine and opened the hatch as required, everyone got on the boat and basked for a few minutes. After rushing over from the southern waters, three majestic warships rushed over from the southern waters. The flags of the private territory were flying high in the wind. In front of the three warships, four armed speedboats flew towards the four submarines at high speed.
More than half an hour later, a Tianchao fishing boat coming from the east arrived here. After searching for nearby ships, Zhou Xiubin directly "leased" them on the public channel. Afterwards, the captain of the fishing boat could go to the Ministry of Defense to collect the rent.
Then, in addition to the basic pilots, more than 400 Vietnamese navy were ordered to board the fishing boats. They would be sent to Cambodia to be detained. They would also become the first Vietnamese navy to be captured, but they would not feel lonely because a large number of comrades would soon be able to accompany them.
