.
Love Island was two to three thousand kilometers away from Xia Xia, but it was only about 605 nautical miles away from Palawan Island in the Philippines, which was close to 855 kilometers.
Based on the speed of the second-generation Steel Cruiser, it would only take about an hour to fly from Love Island to Palawan Island in the Philippines. Palawan Island was an important base for the Philippine Navy. The Philippine Navy had arranged many forces on Palawan Island, mainly responsible for the safety of the nearby waters.
When the Philippine Navy ordered the Pfiz to head towards Love Island, Shi Lei also ordered the second-generation Steel Cruiser to fly towards Palawan Island.
The Pfiz's speed was only 60 knots. According to the speed rules of maritime navigation, one knot was equal to one nautical mile, which was about 6.30 kilometers. Fifteen knots was about twenty-eight kilometers per hour.
Compared to the second-generation Steel Cruiser, this speed was almost the speed of a snail!
June 0th, 6: 88 a.m.
The second-generation Steel Cruiser had already entered the waters of the Philippines, but there was no ultra-low altitude radar on the coastline of the Philippines. Therefore, the Philippines had not discovered that the Steel Cruiser had entered their territorial waters.
"Izur, how far are we from the Philippines' mainland?" Shi Lei was lying on the ergonomic health chair with his eyes half-closed. It was obvious that he was about to enter a trance state.
"Sir, we are 87 kilometers away from Palawan Island in the Philippines. The airborne radar has detected a ship in the sea, but we are unable to confirm the ship's information," Izur reminded Shi Lei.
Shi Lei immediately sat up straight and looked at the image displayed on the projector. "There's a ship?"
"Sir, the corresponding information has been marked. Should we proceed with the investigation?" Izur asked Shi Lei for the next order.
Shi Lei looked at the relevant information and said, "Go and see what's going on with the ship!"
The second-generation Steel Cruiser was very close to Palawan Island in the Philippines. Palawan Island was an important base for the Philippine Navy. Shi Lei guessed that the ship might be a Philippine Navy ship.
A minute later, the second-generation Steel ship observed the ship at close range. It was the Landing Ship Pfiz. The landing ship Phis wasn't equipped with a low-altitude radar and couldn't detect the existence of the second-generation Steel.
"So it's really a ship from the Philippines Navy!" Shi Lei looked at the flag and the logo painted on the bow of the Phis and confirmed the identity of the Phis.
How could Shi Lei go easy on a ship from the Philippine Navy?
In particular, the Phis looked very small. Although it was still a behemoth compared to the Steel, it was just a tiny dot that weighed less than a thousand tons in the ocean.
"Izur, use the knockoff electromagnetic cannon to kill it!" Shi Lei clasped his hands together and crossed them in front of him. He looked like he was waiting for a good show as he gave the order.
"Yes, sir!" Izur received the order and immediately charged the second-generation electromagnetic pulse cannon. The third-generation electromagnetic pulse cannon's charging time had a two-second buffer. When the first electromagnetic pulse cannon was fully charged, Izur chose to aim at the bottom of the side cabin of the Phis.
Izur had a very advanced automatic induction learning and judgment module. In the process of destroying the Seahawk III in Lijian Province, Izur had learned how to deal with ships. That was to penetrate the cabin of the ship and let the seawater in.
Clang!
The third-generation electromagnetic pulse cannon finally had some concept of a "cannon." The first bullet hit the bottom of the side cabin of the Phis and made a loud noise. Then, a small hole appeared!
Shi Lei's expression froze for a moment, then he laughed as if he had thought of something funny. "Oh my god, I'm dying of laughter! This is the Philippine Navy's warship? How can it be so weak? "
The Philippine Navy's power was indeed weak!
As an advanced pseudo-artificial intelligence system, Izur would never try to understand why the Philippine Navy was so weak. Izur controlled the second-generation Steel ship and continued to attack the Phis.
…
When the Phis was under attack for the first time, it quickly contacted the Philippine Navy's headquarters.
"Headquarters, headquarters, this is the Phis. We are 20 degrees north west of Palawan, 69 nautical miles. We are under attack. Requesting backup. Requesting immediate backup!"
"Headquarters, headquarters …"
The radio operator of the Pfias called the Philu Navy Headquarters over and over again. Although the current weather was not ideal, the distance between the Phis and Palawan was less than 85 kilometers. The radio signal could easily reach the Philippine Navy's headquarters.
"Phis, what enemy is attacking you?" The Philippine Navy's headquarters finally responded and asked for the details and promised to help. "Phis, the Palawan base has sent two armed helicopters to your coordinates. They are expected to arrive within ten minutes. Please hold on."
When the radio operator of the Philippine Navy Headquarters was communicating with the Phis, a series of clanging sounds came from the radio. This sound made the radio operator of the Philippine Navy Headquarters very curious.
"Headquarters, we don't know what enemy is attacking us, but we can't hold on for more than ten minutes. We are requesting the headquarters to contact the Army's fighter jets for support!" The radio operator of the Phis relayed the captain's order.
"The Army's fighter jets?" The operator of the Philippine Navy's headquarters was surprised. If the Army's fighter jets were mobilized, it would require a lot of coordination work. Unless an emergency protocol was activated, the Army's fighter jets could take off immediately.
"Headquarters, the Phis is tilting. The side cabin was attacked by the enemy, causing three large holes. Seawater is pouring in." The radio operator of the Phis reported the emergency.
"Phis, what happened to your side?" The operator of the Philippine Navy's headquarters was very good. What enemy attacked the Phis? Why did it feel like the enemy was very strong?
The Phis was only 85 kilometers away from the Palawan base. It was the territorial waters of the Philippines. No matter if it was a plane, a ship, or a submarine, entering such a close area would definitely be detected by the Philippines' national defense system.
However, the Philippine Navy's headquarters didn't receive any relevant information. What kind of force attacked the Phis?
"Headquarters, we are under attack … Bzzt bzzt bzzt …" Phis's correspondent finally found out at the last moment what kind of power had attacked them, but the Steel Ship had aimed at Phis's radio communication module at close range, interrupting Phis's communication.
"Phis, Phis, please answer!" The operator of the Philippine Navy's headquarters kept calling the Phis, hoping to get an answer.
Unfortunately, the radio module of the Phis had been hit by the Iron Ship and completely lost the possibility of connecting to external communication.
A minute later, the Phis was completely sunk by the second-generation Iron Ship. The crew on the Phis were also shot one by one by the Iron Ship. None of them escaped.
"Sir, the target's radio signal was intercepted. The Philippine Navy's headquarters sent two helicopters from the Palawan base to reinforce us," Izur reminded Shi Lei and waited for Shi Lei's orders.
The second-generation Iron Ship still had two Arrow Type B air-to-air missiles and one Sea Suppressing Type I air-to-ground missile. Based on the outdated weapons and equipment of the Philippine Navy, two armed helicopters were no match for the Iron Ship.
"Two armed helicopters? When can they enter our combat range? "Shi Lei asked.
Izur did a quick calculation. "Sir, if we head to the Palawan base, it will take at most five minutes to meet the two armed helicopters."
"Then what are we waiting for? Fly over and kill them, then run! "Shi Lei ordered with a smile.
The second-generation Iron Ship's maneuverability was very good. Whether it was instantaneous explosive power or endurance, they were all exceptional. Under Izur's control, the second-generation Iron Ship flew without fear of the strong wind.
Nearly five minutes later, the second-generation Iron Ship's airborne radar detected the two armed helicopters of the Philippine Navy. At the same time, the enemy also discovered the Iron Ship.
Izur followed Shi Lei's orders and fired two Arrow Type B air-to-air missiles!
Among the two armed helicopters of the Philippine Navy, one of them was equipped with an air-to-air missile purchased from Lijian Province. It also aimed at the Iron Ship and fired.
Izur controlled the second-generation Iron Ship and flew down vertically with an acceleration of 72 meters per second. Coupled with the acceleration of gravity, the second-generation Iron Ship's speed of descent was very fast. The air-to-air missiles flew over the Iron Ship and circled around to continue tracking the second-generation Iron Ship.
The two Arrow Type B air-to-air missiles hit the target directly. The armed helicopters of the Philippine Navy did not have the excellent performance of the second-generation Iron Ship.
The second-generation Iron Ship flew close to the surface of the sea and swayed with the waves. The air-to-air missiles following behind the Iron Ship were hit by a wave and exploded violently.
The shock wave of the missile's explosion caused the second-generation Iron Ship's flying posture to shake. However, the pure electric engine's powerful power supply allowed the Iron Ship to quickly recover its stable flying posture.
Shi Lei's originally nervous expression relaxed. "Izur, did our Iron Ship suffer any losses?"
"Sir, the Iron Ship did not suffer any losses. Should we return?" Izur asked Shi Lei.
The second-generation Iron Ship had already completed its mission on Love Island. Originally, it only wanted to destroy the Philippine Navy's 45th warship. Currently, this main mission had been successfully completed. In addition, they also completed the annihilation of a small frigate class patrol ship of the Philippines Navy, a landing ship of the Philippines Navy, and two Philippine Navy helicopters.
With such a fruitful result, the second-generation Iron Ship had to return!
In this battle, not only did the Iron Ship destroy those targets, but Shi Lei also completed another hidden mission. A hidden mission related to Rongcheng Military District …
