Chapter 152: The Coast Guard's Little Brother Copying for Naval Work
Before every flight, Li Hai would habitually write down the huge situation map of the surrounding area in the flight briefing room. It showed the real-time monitoring of the Beidou satellite system and the position changes of all ships and aircraft equipped with the Beidou satellite system.
The information will be presented intuitively, and all monitoring information in the past month can be retrieved.
In fact, it is a maritime security monitoring system...
Therefore, he remembered that there were three coast guard ships performing patrol missions in the waters northeast of Niutou Island, one of which was a 12,000-ton coast guard ship carrying two law enforcement helicopters. Their position was at the one o'clock position of the "Perth".
It is completely possible to intercept the "Perth" head-on.
Niutou Island used to be called Niutou Reef. It used to be just a small area that turned into a reef when the tide rose. The first generation of reef guarding officers and soldiers built the first generation of stilt houses on it with wood. The area was equivalent to a university dormitory. They just persisted.
Guarding the reef day after day.
After more than ten years of construction, the reef has turned into an island, and the permanent land area has reached 4.3 square kilometers, which is larger than the current permanent land area of the Forgotten Reef (island)! After the completion of the third phase of the Forgotten Reef project, the permanent land area will reach
It covers an area of 12 square kilometers and has a regular shape. However, for now, Niutou Island is firmly in the second place in the N sandy area.
The geographical location of Forgotten Reef is extremely important. On the other hand, Niutou Island is located in the central and southern part of the entire South China Sea. It is relatively central and belongs to the deep hinterland. Therefore, the construction of Forgotten Reef is given top priority.
Another reason is that the reef where the Forgotten Reef is located is a "U" shape with an opening opening to the south. The distance between the reefs is not large, and the water depth conditions in the inner bay of the reef are excellent, which is very suitable for berthing of large ships. It is an ideal place for building a navy.
Ideal location for the base.
Furthermore, the security situation around Niutou Island is relatively complicated, and violations of law and discipline at sea often occur. It is a key sea area for daily law enforcement by coast guard ships.
Li Hai was confident that he could dispose of the "Perth" reasonably and legally without taking action himself. The source of his confidence was the ocean-going comprehensive patrol ship with a full load displacement of 12,000 tons...
The first class of the Navy's 10,000-ton destroyer Type 055 began its trial voyage in August this year (2018), while the Coast Guard's 10,000-ton law enforcement ship entered service as early as 2016!
What was the situation with the coast guard ships in the past (before the merger and reorganization)? The law enforcement ships used were almost all retired warships, so that for a period of time, coast guard law enforcement ships could be seen running around carrying anti-ship missiles.
In fact, only the parties involved can understand the bitterness of it. If you don’t have money, you will pick up second-hand goods retired from the navy and use them as a law enforcement ship. With excessive firepower, other performances will fall behind.
.
After the merger and reorganization, in just a few years, the Coast Guard launched dozens of new ships at one go, far exceeding the speed and scale of the Navy. The Coast Guard's equipment upgrades were basically completed earlier than the Navy.
What the Coast Guard does is simple - copy what the Navy does.
Take a certain type of law enforcement ship as an example. There is no need to develop the hull at all. You can just take the 054A drawings and build it, and then outfit it according to your own needs...
From type 056 to type 054A...
Can it be faster?
At this time, the behemoth Li Hai saw was the first-class main force of the Nanhai Branch of the Coast Guard. The huge chimney in the middle of the hull was very eye-catching. The ship had a full load displacement of 12,000 tons, a speed of 25 knots, and was equipped with 76 mm
Rapid-fire naval guns and two 6-barreled 30mm rapid-fire guns have a range of more than 10,000 nautical miles and can carry two large helicopters...
This is a ship, which is different from other law enforcement ships of the Coast Guard.
Just looking at the parameters and firepower, it already has the ability to engage in low-intensity artillery battles with the pirate navy on stage!
With the ship's top speed of 25 knots and two law enforcement helicopters, the "Perth" cannot escape.
Li Hai immediately used the protocol wave to contact the Coast Guard patrol formation. After reporting the situation, he made a request, "Your ship will immediately go to intercept and board the ship for routine inspection!"
Three coast guard ships immediately took action.
The other two coast guard ships blinded Li Hai's beyond-visual-range eyesight. If it weren't for the white paint, red and blue stripes, and coast guard badges and signs that reminded him that this was a coast guard ship, he would have thought it was a coast guard ship.
Two 054A new youth frigates...
The same hull.
With a displacement of more than 4,000 tons, the firepower configuration is the same as that of a 10,000-ton coast guard ship...
"The Coast Guard is actually a hidden tycoon..." Li Hai sighed in his heart, swung the wings in a circle, turned around and flew towards the sea area where the "Perth" was located.
After Li Hai provided target guidance, the 10,000-ton coast guard ship quickly came up with a plan, adjusted its course to intercept at full speed, and took off an AC313 law enforcement helicopter to conduct an aerial interception.
In the heavy task of intercepting suspicious ships, helicopters have greater advantages.
Two Coast Guard version of the new youth law enforcement boats are also preparing to take off helicopters. They are equipped with red-painted civilian version Z-9 helicopters and can perform law enforcement, rescue, reconnaissance, tracking and other tasks.
The AC313 helicopter is a new civilian version of the Z-8. It is a medium-sized transport helicopter. It is in the same class as the Mi-171. It can carry more than 20 personnel and has reliable performance. It can perform a variety of tasks including boarding and law enforcement.
Following the flight route given by Li Hai, AC313 carried more than a dozen law enforcement officers and soared at maximum speed.
It seemed that the "Perth" could not escape the safety inspection, at least Li Hai thought so. However, the situation on the scene soon changed to the disadvantage of Li Hai.
When Li Hai followed up with the "Perth" again and had just completed a circle, five F/A-18E/F "Super Hornet" carrier-based fighter jets appeared in the airspace at the scene. They came from the east.
Before Li Hai could react, he suddenly received an emergency call.
"Snowflake! I am Liehuo No. 1! Keep an eye on the Perth, and give me the big bug machine!" It was Shi Leilei's voice, and Li Hai recognized it immediately.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Hai saw four J-15 carrier-based fighter jets swooping down from high altitude on the west side, aiming directly at the group of Big Bug aircraft flying towards the "Perth". The latter quickly disbanded the formation and began to accelerate its climb.
Entangled with the flying shark team led by Shi Leilei.
Li Hai was dumbfounded. It was obviously another impromptu confrontation exercise. The simulated Blue Army aircraft carrier battle group must be within 500 kilometers to the east, that is to say, it should be in the offshore waters of Caofei.
The reason why he did not receive the instruction from the exercise headquarters was obviously because the JH-7A he was flying was unable to fight against the F/A-18E/F carrier-based fighter jets, and it might not be able to stop it even in one round. Another reason was because of the incident.
Suddenly, Haisi suddenly issued a random inspection-style assault confrontation drill mission.
The exercise command headquarters did not rush around and quickly ordered the No. 16 aircraft carrier combat formation to urgently take off two batches of four aircraft to intercept. The follow-up fighter jets have also completed preparations for takeoff and can be reinforced at any time.
