Chapter 154: Chapter 106: Destroying Easily_2
Yan Fei was originally after significant Merit, so how could he possibly let these Japanese culprits just get away?
The Drone turned, chasing after a Japanese Patrol Ship that was trying to escape, and then launched two AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles. Trailing white smoke, the missiles approached the patrol ship, one following the other. In a flash, they caught up with the fleeing ship and a large explosion occurred at the Waterline of the Hull, blasting a huge hole into it. Then the second missile followed through the breach and exploded inside the ship’s Hull, further enlarging the hole and compromising the structure of the Patrol Ship, rendering it powerless and immobile.
Although the structural strength of the Patrol Ship was greater than that of ordinary Ships, it was still far from the resilience of military warships, so it was easily penetrated by the two AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles. In just a short amount of time, a vast amount of Sea Water flooded the interior, causing the patrol boat to rapidly lose balance and then capsize. If it weren’t for the captain’s quick thinking to order abandon ship, the majority of the crew would have perished with the vessel.
On his first attack on a naval ship, Yan Fei had destroyed a Patrol Ship, catching the other two patrol vessels by surprise. They quickly accelerated to flee, hoping to escape the fate of a Drone attack. However, the Drone, equipped with Quantum Radar, was formidable, and their escape was simply impossible. Had it not been for the intent to conceal the Drone’s ability to attack multiple targets at once, a single missile strike could have sunk all three Patrol Ships. Yan Fei attacked the ships one by one to mask the Drone’s powerful attack capability and to assert immense pressure on the Japanese, mentally torturing them with fear and desperation.
After sinking the first Patrol Ship and ignoring those floating in the Sea, the Drone looped around, quickly pursuing another small Patrol Ship and launched two more AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles. The process mirrored the previous, and this Patrol Ship was also sunk by the missiles, leaving a great number of Japanese crew members adrift in the sea.
The commander of the fleeing Fusoh was ashen-faced, unable to believe that a US military fighter had suddenly attacked them, causing them to lose two F-15J Fighters, a Helicopter, and two Patrol Ships in a very short time. Now it seemed even the Fusoh was doomed. What was happening? Had The United States of America declared war on Japan? The fear of being bombed by two atomic bombs by the United States once again filled the commander’s heart, vanishing his ambitions for Japan to dominate the world.
Before the commander of the Fusoh could come up with a solution, the Drone circled back and launched two AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles at the Fusoh. Although the Fusoh was a Patrol Ship, it was equipped with a 20-millimeter Machine Gun. As the Missiles approached, with their commander incapacitated, the deputy captain hurriedly ordered to intercept the incoming missiles. Despite firing rapidly, the sea-skimming trajectory of the Air-to-Air Missiles made it impossible for the level-firing machine gun to hit them due to the angle.
With a loud “boom”, the Air-to-Air Missile hit the waterline of the Fusoh, but to Yan Fei’s disappointment, the Fusoh, while dubbed a Patrol Ship, was essentially a small warship, and its Hull structure was extremely sturdy. The AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missile astonishingly failed to breach its defenses, so it couldn’t be sunk as the previous ones had been.
Yet, Yan Fei was undeterred; he immediately switched the missile type, changing from AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missiles to Enhanced AGM-114 Anti-Tank Missiles. He then launched two Anti-Tank Missiles toward the Fusoh, striking the same waterline spot one after the other.
The first Anti-Tank Missile pierced a small hole in the Hull, while the second Anti-tank Missile followed, enlarging the breach. Then the Drone fired an AIM-120 Air-to-Air Missile again, which entered inside the Fusoh’s Hull through the hole made by the Anti-Tank Missile. The violent explosion inside caused tremendous damage.
The Fusoh’s engine was destroyed, losing its power to move forward and coming to a stop on the sea surface. Sea Water rushed into the waterline breach, tilting the vessel. Within just two minutes, the Fusoh capsized. The commander of the Fusoh was utterly incapable of thought, and the entire crew, under the deputy’s command, abandoned ship. Even the commander, with the help of an assistant, made it to a lifeboat, watching the quickly sinking Fusoh. His face turned pale as clay, clueless about what had happened. A wet patch appeared at his groin, but whether it was urine from fear or sea water was unknown…
The Drone had quickly dealt with Japan’s Aircraft and Patrol Ships, and now only Taiwan’s Helong was left, already taking on water and nearing sinking. Beneath the sea, a US Seawolf Attack Submarine also noticed the situation unfolding on the sea surface. It surfaced rapidly until it was 20 meters below the sea surface, monitoring everything transpiring above.
Elsewhere, two Chinese Military J-16 Fighter Jets, detecting the incident in the territorial waters through their onboard Radar, reported the situation while heading toward the area.
