Chapter 1030 Scare Them (Too much to do on Monday, two chapters today, five chapters tomorrow)
A lot of water splashed around the unidentified black shadow and gradually disappeared. Only a small cylinder emerged from the water, cutting through the waves and heading roughly to the east.

When our three comrades drove a small boat to the sea where the enemy was, they saw six enemies floating scattered in the water.

The six enemies had expressions that showed they had expected this. Although it was difficult to see clearly in the dark, their movements were extremely skillful.

It seems that the enemies have chosen elites, and their performance is worthy of the name of elites. Even when stepping on fake water, they can still keep their hands raised high, which is very obvious.

You know, although they threw away all their weapons, their other equipment is still there, and it is not light in weight.

Although we are already on the reef here and the water is not deep, it is still difficult to step through it.

The soldiers didn't care whether they understood or not, and shouted "Put your hands up!" and "Don't move!"

The hands are raised, but it is impossible to keep them still, otherwise they will sink.

At this time the squad leader discovered a problem, that is, the boat was really small. It was originally designed for six people, plus some necessary equipment and supplies. It was a bit difficult to rescue all six enemies.

This did not pose a problem for the soldiers. They threw the life-saving equipment on the boat to them and also threw down a rope.

"Do you understand? Tie yourself up and string yourself together!"

At this time, the escort boat formation attacking from the Xiji Islands, a large missile frigate with two missile boats and two artillery frigates, was speeding towards this direction at the maximum speed of 27 knots.

It took them about five hours to get here, but the other comrades were already not far from the scene.

They were far away, but they were fast! The distance from Cape City to the scene of the incident was more than 600 kilometers, which was only enough for the B-6 to fly for about an hour and a half.

The comrades dragged a string of enemies back to the reef guard barracks like an eagle catching chicks.

The barracks are too small, so the prisoners will not be treated unfairly. The water here is very shallow, and the reef-guarding barracks have been deliberately chosen on the edge of the reef. The water on one side is deeper and more conducive to supplies, and the other side is large enough for people to stand in the water.

The water temperature in the southern seas is relatively high, so it’s okay to take a dip.

The enemy stood in the sea water that was above their thighs, with their hands raised high, without any complaints, as if they were content to be alive.

The comrades turned on a flashlight and shot at the six prisoners. A soldier holding a steel gun looked at them with contempt.

Good news came from the Three Reefs Command and Dispatch Center in the Reef West Islands.

"...killed 8 enemies? But no bodies found yet? Did you suffer any losses?" The commander didn't care about it. It was normal that they couldn't find any bodies in the dark.

Even the number of these eight enemies killed was calculated from the preliminary interrogation of the prisoners. There were two boats, seven people in each boat, and now there were six left. Anyone can do this subtraction.

However, although the enemies can speak Chinese, they did not reveal where they came from. Just being able to speak Chinese does not prove anything, as there are many people in the surrounding countries who can speak Chinese.

But the commander was not in a hurry, as there was still plenty of time: "That's good, that's good. You captured 6 prisoners? You must pay attention to safety, right... On the reef? That's good, you won't be cold in this weather..."

"Comrades have already rushed over. The seaplane is only 40 minutes away from you. They will clear the surrounding area. You just need to pay attention to your own safety."

In fact, most of the time from the time the enemy was discovered to now was spent on the enemy rowing those few kilometers.

Dozens of minutes later, a voice from the air came from the radio in the barracks.

"Zhong 7 Reef, Zhong 7 Reef, this is Bluebird 19. Our aircraft has arrived over your area. Preliminary observation shows that everything is normal on the sea surface and no other targets have been found. Our aircraft is about to launch an aerial search operation."

Although the sky had a clear view and there seemed to be no enemy nearby at first glance, the Bluebird 19 seaplane patrol plane still decided to expand the search range to further ensure safety.

The comrades on the Zhong7 Reef were filled with joy. It had nothing to do with the relaxation after the fear, but rather the feeling of having a strong force and the support of many comrades behind them. It was really cool!
At this time, the Three Reefs Command of the West Reef Islands also received the report from Bluebird 19 and was completely relieved.

It is true that the soldiers guarding the reef are brave and good at fighting, but the command is also worried that the enemy is too cruel. At this time, the Be-6 seaplane patrol aircraft has arrived at the scene, which makes them almost completely relieved.

In the absence of an open confrontation, the two Zhengxian-6K air-launched anti-ship missiles and four depth charges mounted under the wings of the Be-62 can suppress any disobedience.

Be-6 has begun to move westward, trying to confirm whether the comrades on the islands and reefs are completely safe.

The plane flew forward with a buzzing sound. The comrades were not in a hurry. The range of the Be-6 was thousands of kilometers, so it was easy for it to deal with such a short distance.

"Have you found anything?" The captain handed over the driving work to the co-pilot and asked other comrades.

The radar operator shook his head: "No large targets were found. There are clutters on the sea surface. This radar can only detect large targets."

New radars are still under development. No matter how hard the radar comrades work, the task is still very heavy as there are at least many new radars being developed for fighter jets, early warning aircraft, attack/patrol aircraft, large and medium-sized carriers, etc.

The radar currently used for the Zhengxian-62K is only effective against large targets, but is of little use against small targets.

However, comrades are not worried about the lack of weapons to deal with small targets. The thermal imager can detect them and the machine gun can attack them, which is enough.

Therefore, the radar operator's failure to find anything did not completely reassure the captain. "Optical observer, pay attention over there." Optical observation includes two channels, visible light and thermal imager, and one comrade is in charge.

"understand!"

The comrade at the optical position just answered him, and then made a sound full of excitement.

"We've found something! Captain, come and take a look!"

The captain walked to the optical combat position and looked in the direction pointed by the optical observer. A sharp track was clearly visible on the black and white screen.

But the special thing is that although the track is clearly visible, the ship is not seen!

However, the captain's reaction was very quick. Don't forget that the main function of the Be-6 is anti-submarine warfare. The crew had already received relevant training and their ability to interpret similar intelligence was still online.

"Periscope!" He was more excited than the optical observer.

If there is a boat on the water, it is still unclear whether it is an enemy, after all, fishermen also fish at night. However, a periscope means that the identity of the other party is obvious and is a foregone conclusion.

He ordered the communicator to call the Sanjiao Command Center.

"What? A periscope was found on the water surface?" the commander asked.

"Yes, we can see it clearly, it's the periscope. Do you want to launch an attack?"

"Keep tracking and don't take any action yet," said the commander.

There is basically only one possibility for discovering a submarine in this place - the Citigroup.

Danggui Island does have submarines at this time, but their submarines are different from normal submarines - they are the subsequent development models of the S2-era manned torpedoes purchased from the Shoe Country, and they are said to be prepared to use them to counterattack us.

However, this matter was eventually left unresolved. This operation was too magical and no normal person would do it.

It is impossible for other neighboring countries to have submarines. The Russians do have submarines, but this sea area is too far away from their base and is not an area that the Russians are interested in. They have not yet sorted out their own affairs in the Arctic Ocean and the North Pacific.

Therefore, the only remaining possibility is the Citigroup guy.

There is almost an inevitable connection between this submarine and the incident at Zhong 7 Reef, otherwise, even if the enemy was very close, it would be difficult for them to run over in those two rubber boats.

But whether to fight or not is another question.

In the capital, the leader who was resting was awakened by his comrades.

"Commander, something is happening in the southern waters..."

After listening to the report, the leader lit up a cigarette. It was more like he was taking the opportunity to find an excuse to satisfy his craving for cigarettes rather than relying on the cigarette to clear his mind. It was not a big deal and not that troublesome.

As if he had satisfied his addiction, he smiled and said, "Just sink it. After all, we haven't caught them in the act, so we still have to follow the law."

Then he changed the subject: "But now that we are here, it is impossible for us to get away easily! Inform the comrades on the front line and drop two bombs to scare them. Also, if there is any new development in this matter, be sure to inform me in time."

Now that we are here, we should at least say hello, otherwise the enemy will think we are impolite.

Soon after, Bluebird 19 received a reply from the Sanjiao Command Center.

"Scare them? Okay, got it!"

Although there is some regret, our comrades still understand that the struggle is complicated and we cannot seek momentary satisfaction or act on impulse.

Besides, it's still a move after all, right? As long as it's a move, the meaning is different.

They maneuvered the plane towards the periscope that was protruding from the sea.

The weapon operator pressed his eyes against the bombing sight. The operation of dropping depth charges was almost the same as dropping ordinary unguided bombs, except that some initial conditions were set differently.

Although this is an unguided bomb sight, its degree of automation is still far superior to that of old sights. It automatically collects some data, such as altitude and speed, and automatically calculates other initial conditions input manually to correct the aiming point with extremely high accuracy.

It can be said that with this new sight, everyone can be a qualified bombardier. They are certainly not experts, but it is much easier to be qualified. This new sight raises not the upper limit, but the lower limit, which is also very meaningful.

At this time underwater, the enemy knows nothing about this, and this is the most desperate part for the submarine facing air anti-submarine forces.

Submarines can still fight against anti-submarine ships. At least they can know where the enemy is, which is conducive to taking the next step.
