Chapter 041 Missiles Hit Merchant Ships
"Use missiles?" After hearing Li Xiang's order, Li Hongjun was stunned.
A flying fish anti-ship missile is worth nearly 1 million US dollars. It feels like a killing chicken when it is about a thousand tons of civilian ship.
"Click Zhang Dahai immediately and let him sank the big ship behind with missiles." Li Xiang's voice turned sharply.
For him, if there were not enough manpower to operate, the missile would be as much as it would have, and there would be no waste at all. Showing the missile cards also made some of the surrounding forces eyeing them with some concerns and remeasure the gains and losses of interests.
"Yes!" In an instant, Li Hongjun felt that he was back when he was giving the order in person at the army's superiors, and he couldn't help but respond.
Even though he woke up immediately, Li Hongjun still connected Zhang Dahai without saying a word and conveyed Li Xiang's orders.
"Attack now!" Zhang Dahai, who was a little hesitant, immediately agreed immediately when he heard Li Xiang's direct order.
On the thousand-ton fishing boat he commanded, two MM40 flying fish ship-fired anti-ship missiles were already ready.
While fighting pirates near Malacca, Li Xiang's men had already tested six flying fish missiles and trained two launch personnel teams.
The flying fish missiles carried by Li Hongjun and his friends were also equipped with two fishing boats when Li Xiang came.
In the original self-written and directed pirate script, the ocean-going grocery ship was too big to move. Zhang Dahai directed the thousand-ton fishing boat to leave, using lifeboats and speedboats to come back to pretend to be a pirate. But after attracting the real pirates, the entire fishing boat floating on the sea immediately entered a state of combat readiness. Even if only some small fish appeared, the missile operators were waiting in front of the missile to guard against the appearance of other warships.
"Ensure the completion of the mission!" Yue Zhenhua, the leader of the missile team, said excitedly.
Yue Zhenhua, who majored in launch engineering at Chang'an Artillery School, was disappointed to find that not all missile-study students had the opportunity to actually operate the missile.
Each missile is piled up with a lot of money and is generally not easily launched. During the entire internship, he only passed the addiction to looking and touching. In the subsequent graduation assignment, he even had the opportunity to watch.
After Lu Fei's recommendation, Li Xiang came to the door and made a promise to operate a real missile. He was unwilling to accept that he would continue to abandon the benefits of his subordinate logistics units without hesitation. He joined Li Xiang's mercenary and became one of the three people Li Xiang sent to Russia to participate in missile training. He finally operated it in Southeast Asia.
He cherishes every opportunity for missile launches, and does not forget to conduct simulated launch training for various targets. After the ship-based radar scanned the thousand-ton civilian ship 11 kilometers, his mind had simulated the launch process.
When he received the order, although he was surprised that the price-performance ratio of such ordinary targets was not worthwhile, he quickly re-checked various parameters. After confirming the command again, he immediately issued the launch command.
"Brush!" A large ball of flames spurted into the missile's tail flame was particularly conspicuous at night, but in an instant, the flames stretched out, dragging a long trajectory, and whistling across the night sky with a scream.
...
"If we retreat, we will give up this mission completely. Our losses cannot be compensated for the time being, and we need to live a poor life." Louis has been persuading his companions.
"Didn't you see the battle ahead? Just looking at the fire-breathing muzzles, you know that we will never get any advantage. They also have machine guns. Fortunately, our speedboats did not rush too far, otherwise our losses would have been really great. The battle in the west has begun, and there is also bad news. Let the damn battle end here!" Lar said impatiently.
As the leader of this mercenary, he regretted taking this deal.
The opponent's strength has exceeded his imagination. Rising such a firepower attack will definitely wipe out their entire army. Even if they succeed by chance, they will inevitably suffer heavy losses and will never recover.
"Actually, we can wait for a while, and you also see that there is still a force in the south attacking. The people not far away from us just shot may have a misunderstanding with us. I think if we eliminate the misunderstanding and join forces together, we might succeed." Louis continued to persuade his companions. As an informant, he naturally understood who was launching the battle behind him, and he couldn't help but guess that the master behind the scenes not only found their agent.
"The three teams join forces and the chances of success will be greater!" Louis thought.
"We can postpone it, let them stand ahead first and attract firepower, and our chances may be greater." Louis's words touched Lar a little.
"Okay, you go and contact them first. We can help them..." As he looked in the direction of Zhang Dahai and the others, Lar's words were suddenly stuck, "Then, what is that?"
Louis looked at it, then his face changed drastically, and he couldn't help but exclaim:
"Damn it, that's a missile! Dodge it quickly..."
11 kilometers are coming in an instant for flying fish approaching the speed of sound, and for this clumsy armed merchant ship, any evasion is in vain.
"Boom!" With a loud bang, the firelight illuminated the entire island in that moment, so people only saw the big fireball. Against the backdrop of the red sky, the fragments that scattered and collapsed reminded people that there was a boat there before.
The 165-kilogram warhead, coupled with the explosion of solid fuel, was originally targeted at large warships, and even the destroyer Sheffield could not withstand it, let alone this thin-skinned thousand-ton merchant ship.
...
Everyone seemed to be stunned by the explosion.
No one expected that missiles would appear in such a small-scale battle.
Every missile circulating privately on the market is precious, especially for small forces like them, who sometimes don’t have to buy it if you have money. This anti-ship missile, which should have been used as a deterrent weapon, is used to hit merchant ships with only about a thousand tons? Damn, this is obviously unscientific! How cruel this requires, it will be wasted at all costs.
The morale of the attacking enemy was captured, and even the gunshots in the south and west seemed to solidify in the night sky at that moment. The gunshots that sounded again were much less, but they could not conceal the cheers from Li Xiang.
"We killed a ship!" The news quickly reached everyone's ears with the radio waves.
The morale of the security elites was greatly boosted and the counterattack became increasingly fierce. After more large-caliber machine guns fired, two more 30mm machine guns equipped on the BMP2 showed their fangs.
"Boom!" A speedboat in the south swept the firepower of two crossings, directly causing a fuel explosion.
The night sky once again saw a fire rising into the sky, and the terrified enemy's movements were a little distorted.
"Boom!" The speedboat in the east was dodging the evacuation in the S-shaped shape, but the security elites could not escape the more and more precise aim of the security elites. The driver of a speedboat was first swept by a large-caliber heavy machine gun bullet. The stagnant action was soon bitten by a 30mm machine gun shell.
The third brightness of the fire made all the invaders frightened.
The invaders in the east first evacuated, and then to the south. The invaders in the west were originally in the same group as the Lar in the east. After receiving the news that the merchant ship was bombed, they began to evacuate like the east.
Chapter completed!
