Chapter 622 The Sky Is Clear Today and the Waves Are High. The D Flag Is Flying on the Leader Mast.

Chapter 622 The sky is clear today and the waves are high. The D flag is flying on the leader mast...

There will be a set of signal lights on the warship specially used for light communication. Even under the strong sun at noon near the equator, they are still very dazzling.

The Pham Wulao ship a few kilometers away immediately received the message sent by the Huangshi ship.

"Captain, the other party sent a signal to us, saying..."

The signal officer on Annan's side was interrupted by Ruan Yingjun midway through his words:

"I can understand the language of lights. You go back to your fighting position first!"

Just kidding, he was thinking about how to hide this matter. There was a stupid reporter next to him who kept clamoring to show the other side some color. If the other side reported the signal sent by the Chinese, then Could it be better?

"Then...how should we respond?"

The signal officer looked at the captain and asked in a confused and slightly panicked tone.

Because Ruan Yingjun himself had been steering the ship just now, most people still didn't know that their ship had sailed to a place that was completely different from the preset mission route. They just assumed that it was still in the northwest waters of Nansha.

The appearance of a Chinese warship in this place is more intriguing.

Combined with the light language just received, the other party said that they were operating in their own waters...

This made the signal officer naturally think -

Could it be a repeat of 1988?

You know, Annan's record in that conflict was not good.

In the entire battle, only the "first shot" in the physical sense injured the arm of a person from the Chinese side, and no other losses were caused since then.

Annan himself lost two patrol ships, a large landing ship, and about 200 people.

In such a big background, he must still be a little panicked.

"Just reply and say that our ship is in normal navigation and has no intention of provoking a conflict. If an accident occurs, you will bear all the consequences!"

The content of this reply highlights an ambiguity.

If you listen to the first half, it sounds like you are about to give in.

But the back part seems to be quite provocative.

"Captain Ruan, what did the other party just send?"

Ruan Yingjun snorted coldly:

"It's just some routine conversation after meeting, no need to worry about it!"

After speaking, the topic changed again, and the concern in his tone was slightly more deliberate:

"The conflict is imminent, and the rest is left to us. You are all civilians and should not appear on the bridge, the most dangerous place. Please return to the relatively safe lower cabin!"

Naturally, he couldn't really care about these reporters who were getting in the way, but as long as they left the ship, what happened next would be up to him.

However, at this time, the other party highlighted a clueless thing:

"No! It's a rare opportunity to use camera footage to record front-line soldiers expelling foreign enemies and protecting the security of our country. How can you hide at this time?"

"Captain Ruan, you have your mission, and we have ours. Don't worry, we are not afraid of danger!"

The two sentences were so striking that several other TV station staff nearby were a little frightened at first, but after hearing this statement, they had no intention of flinching.

When Ruan Yingjun saw this, he could only curse in his heart, but on the surface he still had to show admiration, let alone give any more advice.

This section sounds long, but it only takes a few minutes.

However, for Fan Wu Laohao and Ruan Yingjun, there is obviously not much time left for them to maneuver...

…

At the same time, inside the Huangshi ship.

The distance between the two ships has now been reduced to a distance that even small-caliber rapid-fire cannons can reach. Although the ship itself has an advantage in performance, it is the first time for most people on the ship to face a provocation with real swords and guns. Enemies will inevitably be nervous.

As a veteran who participated in the March 14 naval battle, political commissar Sheng Jingyong is conducting pre-war mobilization through a microphone.

The content is naturally about that battle that year.

When I heard that only one person on our side had an arm injury, so that every time we commemorated this naval battle, even the tribute to the martyrs could not be carried out, the atmosphere on the entire ship instantly became relaxed——

Paying attention to the enemy is a matter of daily training and preparation for combat.

Before such an encounter, you must not try to boost others' ambitions or destroy your own prestige.

Of course, Captain Lin Weizhi didn't pay much attention to what his old partner just said.

At this time, he was using his telescope to stare at the Annan frigate not far away, which seemed to have no intention of retreating.

"The lights on the other side say that they are in normal navigation. If a conflict occurs, we will be responsible for the consequences?"

Seeing the response from Fan Wulao, Lin Weizhi immediately laughed out loud.

He put down the telescope and turned to look at the deputy captain behind him:

"Go, notify the signal department and hang up the Delta signal flag for me!"

"Delta flag?"

Wei Zhuo was stunned.

Never in his naval career had the flag been raised alone.

Because in the unified maritime signal standards after the 1970s, a Delta flag indicates that the ship is out of control and should be avoided.

"Yes, Delta flag."

Lin Weizhi nodded:

"Didn't they say they were in normal navigation?"

"Then our ship is out of control now. We must ram them towards them and ask them to pay attention to avoidance. Otherwise, if there is a collision, we may not have the chance to rescue people!"

Wei Zhuo, who finally understood what the captain meant, took a lot of effort to suppress his smile and immediately turned around to inform the signal officer.

When it comes to fighting, you still have to be serious...

"Report!"

Lin Weizhi, who had just given the signal command, heard the correspondent's voice almost seamlessly:

"The superiors responded to us and said that we will not take the initiative to cause trouble, are not timid and fearful of trouble, and will use appropriate means to safeguard the dignity and sovereignty of the country."

"In addition, the South China Sea Fleet Air Force has sent two aircraft that were previously involved in testing and preparing to return to support us. The fighter jets on duty are also taking off and are expected to arrive within 40 minutes!"

"call--"

Lin Weizhi breathed a sigh of relief.

The superior's statement was actually very clear and basically consistent with the instructions he had given before.

More importantly, this time, they can get strong support from aviation.

Although the conflict in 1988 ended with a great victory for our army, because the sea area where the incident occurred was too far away from Qiong Province, our aviation force was beyond the reach. Once Annan's Su-22 attack aircraft launched an air strike, it would be extremely detrimental to us.

Therefore, after the victory, our fleet had to retreat quickly and failed to continue to consolidate and expand the results.

This has also led Annan to become increasingly aggressive in related matters.

And now... times have changed!

Hedong in thirty years, Hexi in thirty years.

Annan Air Force?

Su 22?

If he really dares to cause trouble, he will never come back!

Aviation is the foundation of surface ships!

Lin Weizhi, who had completely lost all worries, directly ordered the engineering department to make an emergency move.

That is the maximum power of starting the diesel engine.

"The brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road. Today I am going to see if these monkeys have the guts to challenge us!"
