"Report, enemy ship spotted!"

Soon, the radar on the Vietnamese transport ship also spotted the warship near Chi Kua Reef.

It's just that now the two sides are close to each other.

Wu Yun looked at the map in the command room, analyzing the situation.

Radar found only one Chinese warship parked next to Chigua Reef, and there were no Chinese warships at Qiong Reef, 5.5 nautical miles northeast of Chigua Reef, or 1.7 nautical miles northwest of Chigua Reef.

This is an opportunity.

As long as you occupy the island before the Chinese, it will be considered a success.

They did not expect that when they arrived at the place, the warships of the Chinese Navy were already waiting for them there.

In particular, in order to occupy the island in front of the Chinese Navy, they forcibly increased the speed to 14 knots, almost ignoring the fact that the maximum speed of the warship was only 12 knots, and in the end it was too late.

Is that all?

No way!

If such an opportunity is missed, they will completely lose the opportunity to occupy these islands, which is an unacceptable catastrophe for their political future.

Didn't you see that Pan Song was originally just a lieutenant colonel, even if he failed several times in snatching Huayang Reef, which had been occupied by the Chinese Navy, and was finally promoted to colonel and brigade commander directly because he robbed other Chinese islands?

Wu Yun will definitely not be reconciled.

"Order, according to the predetermined plan, the fleet will be separated, Captain Li Lingshan will lead No. 605 to seize Qiongjiao, and Captain Wu Feizhu will go with us to Ghost Crying Reef......" Wu Yun quickly made a decision.

Their transports are too slow.

Especially after departing from Cam Ranh Bay, the sea was rough and rough, which made it more difficult for them to sail.

They were finally about to reach their destination, and they hadn't had time to drop anchor and land and plant flags, let alone build stilt houses to put these islands in their hands, and this happened.

In a hurry, they didn't even bother to use the names they had given to those islands and reefs, and directly called them by the names that were originally used by those islands and reefs.

"Report, the enemy fleet is separated!"

The radar crews, who had been keeping an eye on the Vietnamese fleet, saw that the ships were about to arrive and separated, one coming in this direction, and the two continuing in a northeast direction.

"They want to seize Qiong Reef and Ghost Cry Reef!"

The commander on the 502 ship looked at the map and understood the purpose of the Vietnamese.

But now, they can't help it.

In the vicinity, the most strategically important is the red melon reef, the reef is not small, although there is no dirt or anything.

"Ask 531 and 556 to speed up!" Captain 502 said through gritted teeth.

"What about us?"

"Stay here, continue to survey the environment, prepare to release the dinghy to land, and plant the flag!" said the captain without hesitation.

Originally, they were going to slowly survey to see where it was suitable to land and how to build a post, but now that the Vietnamese have come, they will definitely not be able to come as slowly as before.

"We have to secure the reef first and wait for the follow-up ships to arrive. ”

"What else is it to investigate, and go directly to the island from the south. Plant our national flag on it!" political commissar Li Qun said anxiously.

It was originally his own land, but now he has to rob it from others.

They are also very helpless, the higher authorities demanded that they were not allowed to shoot first, and they must also maintain the dignity of the country, a lot of conditions.

If according to everyone's idea, the Vietnamese grabbed their own islands, it would definitely be an invasion, and they would just shoot them back. But they cannot, and the higher-ups demanded that "they do not take the initiative to cause trouble, do not shoot first, do not show weakness, do not suffer losses, do not lose face, and if the enemy occupies our island, they must forcibly drive them away." ”

This is already very restrictive.

It is almost impossible to pull out the enemy's flags on the islands of China without firing a shot, and then drive them away.

So, now you have to go up first.

"They're coming!"

A Vietnamese transport ship with a gold star flag flying on its mast came into view.

"Keep an eye on them, hurry up and prepare to send a landing force!"

The commanders of the 502 ship are getting more and more anxious.

The fleets of the Vietnamese had already dispersed, each heading towards its intended goal.

What is different from history is that the Vietnamese warships that came here this time are no longer the HQ604 armed transport ship with a full load displacement of 822 tons, but the 505, an amphibious landing ship with a full load displacement of 4100.

Major Wu Yun, who was standing on the bridge and observing the Chinese warship 500 meters away with a telescope, and Senior Captain Wu Huili, the captain of the 505 transport ship, laughed.

"These Chinese did not dare to take the initiative to open fire. Wu Yun said with a smile. "They really think we don't dare to do it? They didn't even plant the flag!"

Wu Yun held a telescope and toured around the Chigua Reef, but did not find any red flags planted by Chinese on the island.

"We're anchoring here, and we'll have to plant the flag on this island by 6 o'clock tomorrow morning!"

"They broke down!"

The people on the 502 ship, both cadres and soldiers, were in a bad mood.

These Vietnamese are clearly provocative.

Political Commissar Li Qun blackened his face and picked up a loudspeaker to shout to the Vietnamese armed transport ship: "This is the territorial waters of the People's Republic of China, and your actions have seriously violated the sovereignty of the People's Republic of China, please leave ......."

However, the Vietnamese simply ignored them.

"Commissar, could it be that these guys can't understand us?"

Seeing that there was no movement on the other side, someone proposed.

Li Qun shouted in English again, but there was still no movement.

In the end, I had no choice but to find a soldier on the ship who knew Vietnamese and shouted in Vietnamese.

But there was still no movement.

"These bastards are actually helpless!"

The people on the 502 ship were helpless.

The other party didn't pay attention to it at all.

Now I can't scare them with the main gun.

"Look, I'll just say it, these Chinese don't dare to do anything!" Wu Huili stood in the bridge command room, looked outside, and said proudly.

It was getting dark outside.

"Arrange personnel and prepare to land on the island and plant flags. Wu Yun also said with a smile, "This is our territory!"

There was still something in his heart that he didn't say, that is, even if it wasn't originally, from the time they arrived, it would belong to the territory of Vietnam.

Expand the territory and immediately seal the marquis, that is a matter of honoring the ancestors.

"The personnel are ready, but now there is a lot of wind and waves outside!" Wu Huili said, "Major, don't worry, even if the Chinese flag is flying on it, it doesn't matter, just pull them out and throw them away!"

Wu Huili, who had also participated in the seizure of Chinese islands before, knew that the Chinese navy would not dare to open fire, otherwise he would not have stopped here with a swaggering escort ship with only four twin 40-mm machine guns.

There was a lot of wind and waves outside, and it was not suitable for putting down the dinghy at all.

And on the 502 ship, which was 500 meters away, they kept an eye on each other's moves.

The wind and waves at sea are not small, and the strong wind blows the warship constantly, rolling up large waves several meters high, and the small boat is simply unable to sail in such a situation.

The officers and soldiers who landed on the island were ready, just waiting for the wind and waves to stop.

The warship can't get too close to Chigua Reef, which is surrounded by reefs and can run aground if you're not careful.

"Comrades, everything depends on you!"

It wasn't until about nine o'clock in the evening that the wind and waves outside became lighter.

On the 502 deck, the captain of the battleship, the political commissar and other commanders were all together, and there were no superfluous words to the first batch of officers and soldiers who landed on the island in front of them.

"Please rest assured, the chief will not fail in his mission!"

Second Lieutenant Wang Zhengli, who led the team, said firmly.

"Worthy of the mission!"

The other five team members straightened their chests.

"Salute!"

The landing dinghy had been lowered, and the six team members carrying the national flag, despite the wind and waves outside, descended from the deck to the dinghy one by one through the rope ladder.

Wang Zhengli held the national flag high with both hands, and in the wind, the bright five-star red flag was waving in the wind, and the hunting sounded.

In the dark night wind and waves, the dinghy struggled towards the Chigua Reef not far away.

"The Chinese are landing!"

The 505 transport ship kept an eye on the movements of the opposing Chinese warship.

"Just let them land, can they build fortifications in one night?" Wu Yun was not worried at all.

Chigua Reef is covered with reefs.

Otherwise, their transports would be carrying a huge amount of building materials inside?

These islands are not big.

"Hold it steady for me! Don't get the national flag wet!" On the landing boat, Wang Zhengli sat on the bow of the boat with his hands tightly holding the flagpole, and the four loaded soldiers in the middle pointed their guns in the direction of the island and reef, their eyes staring closely at the surroundings.

They were not allowed to shoot first, but they were allowed to return fire when the enemy fired.

All the way to the rocks close to the island, there were no surprises.

When Wang Zhengli planted the national flag pole in the crack of the reef and the national flag was waving in the wind, they breathed a sigh of relief.

"Send a message to the ship, the mission has been completed, we stand guard for the flag tonight!"

Next to it are the armed ships of the Vietnamese, and they must not be allowed to invade.

Fighters carrying flashlights use the language of the lights to transmit signals to the warship, which responds quickly.

"They're here!" On deck 502, the commanders, who had been waiting nervously, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"After dawn, personnel must be dispatched to go up, and the Vietnamese will not leave honestly like this. The captain said.

Everyone else knows.

The fleet is in the South China Sea, and after a month of confrontation with the Vietnamese, those bastards don't care about morality or anything.

"Report, 531 and 556 have arrived, and they are followed by the Nanyun 950 supply ship and the 537 frigate, they are going to the direction of Ghost Cry Reef......

"The 950 supply ship is not from our fleet. ”

"It was said that the 537 frigate came with the sea trials......," the intelligence staff officer said.

And at this time, looking at the small Vietnamese warship not far in front of him, Xie Kai wanted to cry without tears.

Especially the gunwale, it's not right at all.

"What the hell, what is the Vietnamese commander doing? Didn't you say that the 505 amphibious landing ship with the largest tonnage is here today?" Xie Kai was really a little speechless now, "It's not appropriate for such a small ship to waste an anti-ship missile!"
