On the blue sea, 101 ships slowly stopped at the border of New Philippines. Under the command of the flagship, they formed a formation to meet the enemy.
The main naval force of the Philippines is some retired Western ships, such as American minesweepers, British patrol boats, and some French and American tank landing ships from the Second World War.
Take the "Raja Humabon" frigate, the largest and most powerful frigate in the Philippine Navy, as an example. This "legendary" frigate was formerly the Cannon-class frigate built by the United States during World War II. The U.S. military handed it over to Japan in 1955, and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force named it "Hatsuhi" and used it until 1975. In 1978, the ship was handed over to the Philippines by Japan. It was first towed to South Korea for overhaul and modernization. , serving again in the Philippines in 1980.
It can be regarded as an out-and-out third-hand product, feeding two dogs with one bone.
The ship is equipped with three Mk22 76mm open naval guns. The shooter is exposed and does not receive basic armor protection. Three "Berfors" 40mm twin high-level guns, and six "Oerlikon" 20mm high-level guns. cannon and four 12.7 mm machine guns, all standard equipment of the U.S. Navy in World War II.
However, as the main force of the Philippine Navy, there are still two "Hamilton" class patrol ships eliminated by the US Coast Guard. In August 2011, the United States just handed over a retired "Hamilton" class patrol ship to the Philippines. This second-hand US-made warship was renamed "Gregorio Del Pinar" by the Philippines. It is considered the most advanced in the Philippine Navy. warship.
However, the backwardness of equipment could not stop their contempt for the new country in their hearts.
They might be vain in a head-on confrontation with China, but they don't need it at all to attack a small country like Xinguo!
There are 51 main combat ships, more than 50 auxiliary ships, and more than a hundred warships lined up at the border of New Philippines in the Western Pacific. Navy soldiers stand on the deck with heads held high and guns in hand. They have a "king's military presence" style!
The person serving as the combat commander is Major General Jesus Milian, who can be regarded as a "young and promising" faction in Philippine politics. During his tenure as commander of the Philippine Navy, he dispatched the Marine Corps to jointly conduct "landing assault" exercises with the U.S. military, proposed the "frontline first" strategy, and the "rogue" strategy of sitting on the beach. Celebrating the 116th anniversary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army in Ulugan Bay. And plans to build a naval base there...
Standing in the command module tower of the flagship "Hamilton" class patrol ship, Admiral Jesus adjusted his navy hat and looked at the tranquil sea level with his hands behind his hands.
For an overwhelming war, he was thinking about how to humiliate opponents who did not know their own capabilities.
The Philippines needs a real victory. Come to show its naval strength to the world and deter the young people who repeatedly harass its borders.
Guardian-class frigate
It's true that it's very strong. Maozi's weapons have always been very rough. But I heard that those idiots removed the 100mm A-190 naval gun on the ship and replaced it with a gun that you couldn’t tell what it was. The wide and flat gun body is like a lying "tuning fork". Jesus does not think that thing will pose a threat to the "Hamilton" patrol ship under his seat. The most important main gun is missing. With just two 14.5mm machine guns, what can even a Guardian-class frigate do
Jesus knew very well that although Maozi sold the ship to Jiang Chen, the anti-aircraft missiles and anti-ship missiles on the ship had been removed. After all, these equipments are military secrets. Even if they are business friends, there is no reason for Russia to give everything to each other.
The adjutant walked next to him and gave a neat military salute.
"Five FA-50s have arrived in the sky and entered cruise mode. Harpoon-1 requests an attack order."
Jesus smiled and did not answer, but asked irrelevant questions.
"Rolando. Please tell me what color suit is more appropriate to wear when attending the celebration ceremony."
Rolando was stunned for a moment, then smiled happily.
"I recommend the blue one."
"Same as I thought, that is my favorite suit." As he spoke, Jesus squinted his eyes and looked at the horizon in the distance, chanting a song in the ancient Tagalog language Limerick, "Our warriors are ready to try, but the other side is still dragging their feet on the road..."
However, the admiral obviously had no literary talent, and he got stuck on his words before even two sentences. The captain and first mate next to him were watching. Jesus couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
Rolando, who was standing aside, saw this and immediately nodded and bowed to take off his boss's girdle, "It's like going to the execution ground."
"That's right! It's like going to the execution ground!" Jesus laughed and patted Rolando on the shoulder, happy that his subordinates were so sensible. "No wait, pass my order! The whole ship moves forward at a speed of 6 knots. If they don't come, we will fight over! And our aviation formation is approved to go to war!"
"Yes!" Rolando straightened his back. His face flushed with excitement, and he spoke loudly into the intercom, "This is the command tower, Harpoon-1, targeting the opponent's flagship, approved for battle... Harpoon-1?"
There was a busy tone on the other end of the intercom.
Rolando's expression gradually changed, and he suddenly had a bad feeling.
At this moment, on the deck outside the control tower, someone screamed and pointed at the clear sky.
"what is that!"
Among the white clouds, a fighter plane roared past, and then two sparks bloomed in the sky.
The words FA were engraved on the flying fragments, and they crashed into the ocean in front of the astonished eyes. Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, the Aurora-20 cannon shreds the fragile armor and faith of the FA-50 like claws, repeating this cycle with high maneuverability.
Two FA-50s were shot down in the moment of the exchange of fire. The remaining three FA-50s had realized the gap in equipment and tried to escape the lock of the infrared missiles.
However, the two Aurora-20s gave them no chance to escape.
Five tail flames rotated and intertwined in the air, clashing in an instant, and three groups of sparks exploded in the clear sky again.
The Philippine fleet reacted and immediately released a rain of orange-yellow bullets into the sky. However, the Aurora-20 dodged as deftly as a petrel, and after dropping two aerial bombs, it quickly rose above the clouds. Thermal decoys flew in the air, confusing the pursuing anti-aircraft missiles.
"The frigate Raja Humabon was hit! The ammunition magazine is on fire! Ah!"
"...The Kemilla anti-submarine ship was hit! The deck broke!"
Jesus' face was livid, because the amount of information was too large, and he couldn't accept it at all for a while. The previous ease had been shattered. He raised his trembling fingers and adjusted his crooked navy hat, but he couldn't put it on properly.
"Sir..." The captain also looked at Jesus with a pale face, and the ominous premonition in his heart became stronger and stronger.
However, no matter what, he couldn't say the word "retreat".
At this moment, a change occurred again!
An orange-yellow arc cut through the silent waves, passing through the side of the Hamilton patrol ship sailing at the forefront of the fleet without warning, leaving a ferocious gap! The hull's steel frame was torn apart by the huge kinetic energy of the cannonball, and it was pushed to the sea. The sea water poured in crazily, instantly submerging this "imported ship" that the Philippines regarded as the pride.
Jesus' complexion had turned waxy white, and the previous pride could no longer be seen on his face.
His adjutant, Rolando, had forgotten his words and stared at the calm sea with dull eyes.
They couldn't even see the shadow of the opponent's ship clearly before they were hit by shells flying from the side.
Yes, this is an asymmetric war.
However, the identity of the asymmetrical party does not belong to them, but to the opposite party.
"Run!"
That false pride was shattered, and Jesus used his last courage to shout these words into the intercom.
The Philippine navy began to disperse, then turned around and fled.
However, the two Guardian-class frigates that had arrived on the battlefield would not let them succeed. The Type 50 J-type shipborne electromagnetic guns raised high kept charging and firing repeatedly. The orange-yellow trajectory drew an arc with a large curvature under the pull of the earth's gravity. Under the observation of the Sky Eye X1 satellite, it harvested the Philippine ships that fled in a hurry.
Two Kilo-class submarines cruised on the edge of the battlefield, using torpedoes to kill ships trying to escape, such as fishing boats to drive away schools of fish.
The nightmare of the Philippine Navy has just begun!
Fragments of steel loomed in the waves, and the wails and prayers were drowned in the waves of explosions.
Firelight bloomed on the sea, reflecting the bright red sky.
For a moment, it was hard to tell where the sunset was.

(I went to the hospital for a checkup yesterday. Fortunately, it was not a serious problem. Thank you for your concern, book friends. The doctor told me not to sit all the time, exercise more, be careful not to stay up late or anything, and then gave me some medicine. By the way, Let me complain, it’s true that hospitals nowadays are like this. If you disagree, you’ll be hospitalized and put on an IV drip. There are so many readers waiting for me to update, how can I find the time to be hospitalized!… Ahem, just kidding.
