Chapter 394: The formation that suppresses the devil!

Everyone quickly got on the boat at the pier.

This is a secret operation, so it is naturally impossible to go out in a big boat, so the boats they take this time are usually small gunboats and some small boats.

The boat assigned to Xia Li and the others was a small gunboat made in 1962.

Xia Li didn't do much research on boats before, but he also took a boat in the last days.

Now that I see such an old antique, I suddenly feel extremely strange. I can't help but wander back and forth on the boat, looking here and there, touching here and there, as if Grandma Liu had just entered the Grand View Garden.

Zhao Qiang saw their platoon leader standing on the ship's deck, touching and looking around at the cannon on the ship's deck. He quickly walked over and reached out to touch the fort, proudly introducing it in his heart.

"This is the Type 62 escort boat that was just manufactured by China. I heard it uses the most advanced technology, and the cannons on it are much stronger than those original small gunboats.

We don’t have many boats here in the South Island. I didn’t expect that we would be able to board this small gunboat during this mission. "

Xia Li:......

Seeing his proud look, Xia Li was embarrassed to say, "The reason why I looked at the ship was not because I thought it was advanced but because I thought it was an old antique that was not common, so I came here to take a look."

"There are only cannons, but no torpedo devices?"

Zhao Qiang immediately became happy when he heard Xia Li's words. He sounded like an expert!

None of them who are in the navy dislike warships, and they immediately become energetic when they talk about this topic.

Zhao Qiang didn't think there was anything wrong with not having torpedoes at all, and explained to Xia Li: "This model of warship has replaced the 57-mm cannon on the bow with a 37-mm cannon, and removed the 450 mm torpedo launch tubes on both sides. The tonnage and space left out are used to install two 25-caliber anti-aircraft guns.

This reduced the tonnage from 130 tons of Type 0109 to 115 tons, and the speed increased by 0.5 knots.

The main tasks of our navy are offshore patrol, escort, and counter-infiltration, so the demand for artillery is so great. We would rather dismantle anti-ship torpedoes to install artillery.

After all, the opponent's strength is not very strong, and there are few places where torpedoes can be used. It is better to dismantle and install artillery. "

When Xia Li heard his crisp words, he nodded in agreement, but in his heart he complained: Isn't it because of poverty and lack of skills?

Ships of this tonnage in later generations could still have both guns and torpedoes.

But since it is self-produced, it can be considered a big improvement.

Xia Li chatted with Zhao Qiang here, and glanced at other ships.

"We only have three ships? Why don't ours move faster?"

Zhao Qiang answered quite sincerely, "This is what our battalion commander arranged. He said that we should hold down the formation from the back."

Xia Li:......

What a hell!

Normally speaking, such an "advanced" ship like theirs should be placed at the front, but now they are quite far away. They wish they were 800 meters away from the front and already on the outermost edge.

It looked like he was hiding at the end, which was a bit outrageous. It looked like a safe zone.

She guessed in her mind that this was arranged by Lu Dingyuan, but since she was already on a mission, she should rush forward anyway. What's the point of hanging back?

But if you think about it for a moment, you can understand the twists and turns involved.

As a half-researcher, it was naturally impossible for Lu Dingyuan to throw her into danger, but now that she had joined the army and he was carrying out large-scale missions without her, it would be easy for others to find clues.

So he gave her the best equipment and let her paddle in public during the mission.

"Do you usually take this boat when you go on patrol?"

Zhao Qiang suddenly showed a surprised expression, "How is it possible~~?" "Our troops usually treasure this ship!

It didn’t take long for them to arrive in our hands, and they are still in short supply. They are given priority to the Bohai Sea. Our division commander negotiated with the superiors for a long time before they gave us a few ships. We usually use the original small guns when we patrol the sea. Boat.

This is my first time on this ship! "
