Chapter 441: How many warships did Long Xia dispatch? It’s too scary
What’s more, this time the opponent is a battle group headed by the Eagle Tribe’s 7th Fleet dispatched by the ‘Eagle’ nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, carrying the Blue Star The most advanced carrier-based aircraft.
The pressure involved in dealing with them can be imagined.
“Once the war starts, we must block the possibility of carrier-based aircraft taking off as soon as possible!”
“Otherwise, we will be extremely passive.”
The deputy captain's words directly touched Zhou Qinglei's heart.
If the carrier-based aircraft can be suppressed, then they only need to be responsible for the firepower output, forming a saturation attack to make the enemy unable to defend themselves.
In this regard, 052D and 052C have natural firepower advantages!
If it cannot be suppressed, the enemy will dispatch numerous carrier-based aircraft to deter them, and the number will suddenly expand to a terrifying level.
The anti-ship missiles and precision-guided bombs mounted on carrier-based aircraft pose a great deterrent to warships.
"You are right. I was worried about this before. Thanks to the fact that we are so close this time, it is not easy for all the carrier-based aircraft of the Seventh Fleet to take off safely!"
< br>"Overall, under various prerequisites, the odds of winning are at least 50-50."
Zhou Qinglei turned to look at the deputy captain and expressed his thoughts.
For now, the fact that the two sides are so close is an advantage!
“Then our main task at present is to suppress so many enemy carrier-based fighter jets to increase our chances of winning.”
"Otherwise, we will have to face so many enemy fighter planes, and I am afraid we will have to fight on two fronts."
"Since we need air defense, we also need to conduct ship attacks."
"We are under great pressure."
The vice-captain nodded in agreement and agreed.
He knows very well that the firepower of the 052D may be more balanced, and it can carry out air defense and anti-ship operations at the same time, and the firepower channel is sufficient.
However, the 052C prefers air defense, and its anti-ship capability is weaker, so it will face insufficient firepower. Once a fight breaks out, coordination must be carried out.
Of course, fortunately, there are a relatively large number of 052Ds in the fleet and can perform this task well.
While the two were discussing, the radar monitor suddenly exclaimed.
“Report to captain, the enemy reconnaissance plane is still about 3 kilometers away from the sea boundary line.”
“Report to captain, the enemy reconnaissance plane has no intention of turning around and is continuing to approach quickly. .”
"Report Captain..."
Listening to the emergency reports from his men one after another, Zhou Qinglei focused his eyes on the situation map again. The two red dots representing the reconnaissance aircraft were moving rapidly towards the border line, crossing the border. Coming closer.
His breathing has become much lower!
He knew that the last bit of luck in his heart was extinguished.
Next, let’s see whose fist is harder!
The atmosphere in the main control room also became tense, and every sailor was focused on the machinery and equipment in front of him.
"Report, the enemy reconnaissance plane is less than 1 kilometer away from the sea boundary line."
At this time, the radar monitor urgently reported.
The automatic locking radar has locked the two reconnaissance aircraft, and now they are waiting for the firing command to be issued.
“Fire!”
Zhou Qinglei immediately issued the order decisively.
In fact, according to Blue Star's practice, in this case, you should communicate with the other party first. If the other party does not listen to the advice and insists on continuing to fly forward, wait until the other party enters your own sea area before issuing a warning. Drive away.
If you don’t listen three times, you can report it to your superiors and apply to shoot it down!
But before that, Liu Huaming had given Zhou Qinglei the right to fight, and he was fully responsible!
In addition, the navy's momentum is currently at its peak among the four that came with the momentum of a big victory. If we talk about warning and driving away at this moment, the momentum will obviously be weaker, and they will be defeated by the opponent. It was suppressed.
Naturally, we have to deal with it according to the originally formulated strategy. Once the opponent crosses the sea boundary, we will take action immediately.
After the order was given, two anti-aircraft missiles Hongqi 901A were ejected from the vertical launching unit one after another, and then they sprayed out flames and shot towards the two reconnaissance aircraft.
"Boom!"
With a harsh roar, the two missiles reached a speed of Mach 3 in an instant.
On the reconnaissance plane, there was a big discrepancy between the number of warships seen by the Eagle Tribe pilot and what the radar showed.
This result made him extremely nervous, and he even broke out in cold sweat.
He knew that the stealth capabilities of Long Xia Navy warships in the radar field were already better than those of the Eagle Tribe.
Otherwise, the reason for this situation cannot be explained.
After learning about the situation, he immediately turned on the radio communication device and quickly transmitted the message back.
"Report to the captain, an emergency has been discovered..."
But just in the middle of the words, a very urgent missile lock warning sound sounded in the cabin, and the red warning light turned on, turning the entire cabin into blood red.
He glanced at the radar hurriedly, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat.
The reconnaissance plane was locked by an anti-aircraft missile, and its speed reached Mach 3!
Fortunately, this is only one, one locks one!
Obviously, Longxia Navy was warning them that the waters east of Longxia were not inviolable, so they did not kill them.
Compared with the previous verbal warnings between tribes, the warning from the Longxia tribe was obviously more deterrent.
Having judged his intention, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief!
But the speed of the incoming missile is too fast. It has reached Mach 3, which is 3 times the speed of sound, and the fastest flying speed of his fighter plane does not exceed Mach 2. There is too big a gap in the middle. gap.
Whether he can survive or not is hard to say!
The pilot hurriedly controlled the reconnaissance aircraft to pull up rapidly, turn and turn, and perform a series of maneuvers, preparing to release decoy bombs or metal chaff at the critical moment.
At this moment, in the main control room of the 'Eagle' aircraft carrier.
The communication staff called extremely anxiously: "Eagle Eye 1, what happened?"
"Eagle Eye 2, please answer after receiving it!"
The other party had just sent back a message, but the result was suddenly interrupted. This made the correspondent feel bad, and naturally he frantically contacted the two reconnaissance planes.
“What happened?”
Captain Willis asked in surprise.
“I don’t know, Hawkeye 1 suddenly reported the news just now, but the contact was cut off halfway through the sentence.”
Before Willis could react, he suddenly heard the radar monitor again shouted anxiously.
"Report to captain, two missiles were found at 50 kilometers, speed Mach 3."
"Report to captain, the targets of the two missiles are Hawkeye 1 and Hawkeye 2 .”
"Report to captain, no specific location of the enemy ship has been found."
Everyone present was suddenly stunned.
What is going on?
Only the launched missiles were found, but no trace of the warship?
Originally, Willis had just heard the report and thought that his fishing law enforcement had worked. The Longxia Navy had taken the bait. As soon as the Longxia Navy fleet took action, he could immediately take countermeasures and directly Defensive counterattack.
In this way, even if he is sued by the Blue Star Alliance in the future, he will not have to go to a military court.
Unexpectedly, the warships launched by Longxia Navy were not among the warships discovered by the radar monitor!
Willis was suddenly surprised and had a premonition that something was not quite right. Let me ask you, what does this mean?
Didn’t find the specific location of the enemy ship?
Doesn't that mean the radar is broken?
Or is the radar monitor suddenly experiencing blindness?
"What do you mean by your last sentence?"
"Is there something wrong with the radar?"
Willis stared at the radar monitor, sinking. The voice asked.
"Report to Captain, the radar is working normally, but according to its feedback information, the two anti-aircraft missiles were not launched from the detected warships."
The radar monitor hurriedly reported the truth.
Willis fell into deep thought, and then asked suspiciously: "Could it be a submarine?"
He felt that this was the only reasonable explanation.
Submarines are difficult to detect by sea search radars, and surprise attacks are also being cleaned up.
"Report to Captain, the sonar department has found no trace of submarine activity."
At this time, the sonar report was reported.
This is even more strange. Captain Willis rubbed his forehead with his right hand, puzzled.
Actually, one thing is that if a submarine takes action, sonar soldiers will definitely be able to detect it. If a warship launches an anti-aircraft missile, it should be within the discovered warships.
Those warships also have the ability to launch anti-aircraft missiles. Why did they choose unknown platforms to launch?
Is it possible that Longxia Navy used this to deter them?
Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard an observer reporting urgently.
"Report Captain, the anti-aircraft missile is rapidly approaching the Hawkeye reconnaissance aircraft!"
Willis hurriedly looked up with his telescope and saw an anti-aircraft missile towing in mid-air. The long fire snake caught up with the early warning aircraft at an extremely fast speed.
At this time, the reconnaissance plane suddenly climbed rapidly, flipped its body and performed an unconventional maneuver, and even ejected a decoy bomb from its butt, but it had no effect at all.
Soon a series of metal chaff interference pieces were ejected from the butt of the fighter plane, and two flickering flames quickly formed at the tail of the fighter plane.
"Boom!"
With a violent explosion and flames shooting into the sky, the anti-aircraft missile was interfered with by the metal chaff, allowing the reconnaissance plane to successfully avoid the missile attack.
Perhaps frightened, the reconnaissance plane stopped at the sea boundary line and quickly turned around and flew back.
Seeing this, Wesley breathed a sigh of relief.
He finally figured out that Long Xia Haijun was just giving them a warning with his fists.
He did not blame the reconnaissance plane for its behavior, as long as he lived.
It’s just that he was very unhappy. The speed of Long Xia Navy’s anti-aircraft missiles was actually not slower than the ones they used, reaching Mach 3.
Also, both maneuverability and anti-interference ability have reached a very high level.
This is the most outrageous thing!
They have always believed that the Eagle Tribe has the most powerful military industrial system in the entire Blue Star, and the missiles they use are the most advanced!
Willis was about to issue combat orders when he heard the correspondent report: "Captain, there is a situation report on Hawkeye One."
"Take it."
The next second, the communication channel was successfully established, and the voice of the Hawkeye One pilot immediately sounded.
“Reporting to Captain, there is a new situation in the waters east of Longxia.”
"Say."
Willis was quite surprised.
"Captain, how many Longxia warships have been discovered by our aircraft carrier radar?"
"9!"
Willis answered straightforwardly.
He remembered this number very clearly, and it was precisely because of this number that he prepared for the fishing operation.
He was also quite confused in his heart. Was the other party frightened by the missile just now?
Everything has been shown on the radar. Do you still need to ask about this kind of thing that you know knowingly?
But he soon felt that something was wrong with this matter. The pilots of the carrier-based aircraft were carefully selected. There was no idiot, and there was no one with poor psychological quality.
“Captain, the reconnaissance plane radar only discovered 9 warships!”
Upon hearing this, Willis immediately became angry.
Aren’t you making fun of yourself?
Still making fun of myself!
If he could, he would want to capture the Hawkeye 1 pilot and yell in his face!
Teach him that joking is not allowed on the battlefield!
"You are talking nonsense. When was it?"
The pilot hurriedly said: "Captain, within my visual range, Long Xia has dispatched at least 16 warships!"
This As soon as the words came out, everyone in the main control room was stunned.
So many warships suddenly appeared?
It was still not detected by radar.
In addition to the nine ships, at least seven more have not been discovered.
How is this possible?
If this is the case, then there will be no way to fight this battle.
Who knows if Long Xia Navy has any hidden warships?
“No, this is impossible!”
The radar monitor was the first to question loudly, "Our radar only found those 9 ships. Our radar is the most advanced in Blue Star! How could the Longxia Navy have so many warships participating in the war?"
< br>"It's almost doubled! This is unscientific!"
At this time, someone raised a new question.
"Did you make a mistake and mistake the surfaced submarine of the Long Xia Navy for a battleship?"
Just as he finished speaking, he spoke again, "There is something wrong with this. . If the Longxia Navy submarine goes to the surface, our sea search radar will definitely be able to detect it!”
Willis immediately asked in a deep voice: "What is going on?"
This matter is very serious. If there are flaws in the battlefield intelligence, then there will be no way to fight this battle.
Not to mention winning, the last few may fall into the unfavorable situation of being passively beaten.
"Report Captain, this is the situation!"
"The radar only detected 9 warships of the Long Xia Navy, and the characteristics of those warships are very obvious. I went to check."
"As for the remaining warships, they have smooth surfaces. They dispatched at least 16 warships."
"If it hadn't been for the Longxia anti-aircraft missile attack, I would have counted them carefully."
“The climb is too high now, beyond the visual range, and we can’t see how high it is.”
Willis’s expression became more and more serious, and now one thing is basically certain , there was a problem with the number of ships participating in the Longxia Navy, and the data provided by the radar was inaccurate.
This is a bit troublesome.
If the enemy ship cannot be discovered, there will be no way to lock the radar, and eventually it will be in a situation where it is impossible to fight, and they can only be passively beaten.
He turned and glanced at the correspondent. The correspondent understood and immediately contacted the pilot of the Hawkeye 2 reconnaissance aircraft.
Soon, the correspondent received relevant rewards.
“Reporting to Captain, Hawkeye 2 has discovered at least 14 Longxia warships, but the specific number is not clear.”
