Ships are mobile territory. In waters where ships of any nationality have the right to pass, requiring a ship to stop for inspection is suspected of infringing on the territory of another country, let alone a warship.
This is why Li Hai couldn't help but laugh after hearing what the captain of the K42 missile boat said.
"This group of people is used to being domineering in the Paulk Strait. They regard the waters beyond the territorial sea line as inland seas. They are so bold." Chang Haizhou said with a sneer.
Li Hai said, "I think it's a frog in a well who overestimates his own abilities."
He turned to Wu Tong and said, "Warn them not to enter our route, otherwise our ship will take decisive measures!"
"Yes!" Wu Tong immediately warned the K42 missile boat in a decisive tone and professional terms, "K42 boat, I ask you not to intrude on our route, otherwise our ship will take decisive measures! K42 boat, I ask you Do not intrude on our route, otherwise our ship will take decisive measures!"
What everyone found strange was that Li Hai did not order to target the K42 missile boat. This was the most serious warning action, and the next step was to fire.
The K42 missile boat and the K43 missile boat rushed up from the side and sailed at high speed in front of the No. 53 ship's route. Their purpose was very clear - to try to force the No. 53 ship to stop by invading the route.
It was obvious that the opponent's two missile boats did not intend to give in and did not reply.
Chang Haizhou said in a deep voice, "Facing the wolf pack tactics of missile boats, we have no advantage."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wan Liyang reported again, "The radar detected three more missile boats leaving the port and they are expected to arrive in twenty minutes."
Li Hai looked in the direction of the opponent's military port. From this distance, the small military port could be seen visually. Using a telescope, he could even see the outline of the missile boat clearly.
"Keep the course and speed, another warning!" Li Hai ordered steadily.
Wu Tong shouted a warning in a more stern tone, "K42 boats, K43 boats! You must turn immediately and keep a distance from me! Last warning! You must turn immediately and keep a distance from me!"
Under the stern and decisive words, the captains of the two missile boats were a little confused.
They looked at the picture of the bow of the ship plowing through the sea water at high speed, and they did not even think about one question - how did the frigate with a draft of four to five meters deep manage to travel at high speed on the waterway of the Palk Strait?
The captain of the K42 boat was in charge of commanding the formation. He seemed calm and calm, but in fact he was panicking inside. Seeing the distance getting closer and closer, his heart was in his throat.
Li Hai saw that the two missile boats were indifferent and said in a calm tone, "Tell them that our ship will be forced to take ramming actions to ensure navigation safety."
Everyone looked at Li Hai with wide eyes.
Wu Tong suddenly came to his senses and immediately shouted, "K42 boat, in order to ensure the safety of navigation, our ship is ordered to ram your boat. Repeat, our ship is ordered to ram your boat!"
Li Hai looked at Chen Yun and said, "Get ready for impact."
Chen Yun's forehead was covered with sweat, which was due to excitement, "Yes! Get ready for impact!"
The entire ship sounded the alarm, reminding everyone to be aware of the impact.
Chen Yun turned the rudder hard, and the bow of the ship quickly pointed to the front of the K42 boat's course. She estimated the lead time very accurately. If the K42 boat did not slow down and turn, the two ships would collide.
Four thousand tons versus four hundred tons, there is no suspense about the result.
Normally, the K42 boat would be smashed to pieces like a wooden boat.
"Go forward at full speed!" Li Hai suddenly gave an order.
The order was quickly passed to Wang Fugui. He did not expect that the captain would order to advance at full speed at this time. You must know that this place has not yet left the shallow waters of the Palk Strait.
However, he hesitated in his thoughts but without any hesitation in his actions, he decisively turned on all the supercharger turbines, including the third supercharger turbine that was added.
The No. 1 gas turbine immediately emitted a louder noise than the previous overload operation, and the frequency of machine vibrations also increased. The obvious change was that the No. 53 ship seemed to be pushed forward by a force from behind, and its speed increased rapidly.
Li Hai saw the numbers on the speedometer keep jumping, from twenty knots to thirty knots, which took one third of a cigarette. In front of the ship's bow was the K42 missile boat, which was only a few hundred meters away.
The officers and soldiers in the bridge command center clearly saw the two people originally standing on the deck of the K42 missile boat dancing and running into the cabin.
The bow of the No. 53 ship crashed into a wave, smashing it into pieces and splashing white waves to both sides. The bow of the ship rushed towards the K42 missile boat with its head raised.
Missile boat K42 invaded the route of ship No. 53 at an angle of 45 degrees. After Chen Yun adjusted the course, the bow of ship No. 53 was facing the port side of missile boat K42. Chen Yun calculated the lead time very accurately. During the voyage, she was able to fine-tune the course by integrating the latest speed and relative angle based on her feelings. If the two ships do not make any evasive maneuvers, the bow of the No. 53 ship will hit the amidships of the K42 missile boat.
Such driving skills are of the highest level, and Chen Yun is worthy of being one of the top ten outstanding helmsmen among the southern ships.
The people on board the K42 guided missile boat were scared to death. The captain kept giving orders in a blaring voice, which probably meant that they should avoid direct contact with this behemoth, otherwise they would die miserably!
Strictly speaking, if the No. 53 ship performs an emergency evasion at this time, it is unlikely to avoid the K42 missile boat. It is large in tonnage and high speed. The distance is already less than 300 meters. The ship can be swept away by sweeping the stern. The K42 missile boat was swept to pieces.
However, if the K42 missile boat immediately carries out emergency evasion at this time, it will be able to avoid the menacing No. 53 ship with its ultra-high maneuverability and more flexible hull.
However, Le Hai overestimated the operational skills of the crew of the third largest navy in the world.
The captain jabbered an order under tension, but he couldn't express his meaning clearly at the first time. The people below finally understood the meaning and were in a hurry when performing the operation. They successfully missed the opportunity to avoid the No. 53 ship. opportunity.
Boat No. K42 made an emergency turn to the left, trying to straighten the boat and move towards the No. 53 ship to avoid collision. This choice is correct, because with inertia, the K42 boat will drift some distance to the starboard when turning left, which can widen the distance from the No. 53 ship.
It is a pity that because the crew's operational skills were too poor, they did not deal decisively when encountering an emergency and missed the opportunity. As a result, the stern of the K42 boat violently crashed into the bow of the 53rd boat!
Li Hai said loudly, "The target boat is ramming the bow of our ship! Prepare for damage control!"
Chang Haizhou was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, "Damage control preparation!"
That sound was like being about to be hit by a heavy anti-ship missile!
The shrill damage control alarm bell rings... (End of this chapter)
