Chapter 674 Bloody Battle


"Execute according to the established plan!"

Seeing Li Xiaojun struggling, Zhu Xuefeng whispered a reminder and led Qiu Hong out of the command room. The enemy missiles were coming, so he had to show a miracle.

Ever since he learned that the opponent's fleet had missile ships, Zhu Xuefeng had thought of this possibility. His own fleet lacked such defense capabilities and could only rely on himself, using space to quietly collect the opponent's incoming missiles, destroy them, and then throw them out.

"Chief, there are missiles coming from outside. Please change ships quickly." Li Xiaojun behind him shouted loudly without giving any orders.

The difference between the two sides is more than ten nautical miles, which is more than 20 kilometers. The current speed of ship-to-ship missiles is about 300 kilometers per hour. This distance can be reached in almost four minutes!

"You are busy with your business, don't worry about me! This is an order!"

Zhu Xuefeng did not look back and led Qiu Hong out of the command room and onto the deck. Two missiles visible to the naked eye in the distance were roaring towards his flagship.

Li Xiaojun issued an order with red eyes behind him, "First echelon..."

Ignoring Li Xiaojun's annoyance behind him, Zhu Xuefeng pulled Qiu Hong and just watched the incoming missile quietly, silently opening up the space and wrapping the entire front area of ​​the ship.

"Chief, the missile is coming, take cover quickly!"

The officers and soldiers on the ship were hiding everywhere. Several officers rushed over anxiously and tried to pull Zhu Xuefeng away. Xia Ligong looked at the calm-looking chief and his wife and stopped the officers.

"Don't worry about me, let everyone prepare for battle." Zhu Xuefeng shook his head and refused to leave, watching the missiles roaring towards him.

Unfortunately, the enemy's missiles were not up to par. They were still a few hundred meters away. Two missiles plunged into the sea one after another, causing someone to lose the opportunity to show off.

"A missile of this caliber! It doesn't even have an infrared seeker to find its target independently. It's rubbish!"

Facing the water column caused by the violent explosion hundreds of meters away, Zhu Xuefeng sneered. Yes, this thing must have been obtained from Da Mao. It is impossible to sell it to him if it is good. There is no reliable guidance capability and no satellites for coordinate guidance. , this is indeed rubbish.

Thinking about the accuracy of the Scud decades later, the error could reach tens of kilometers. Zhu Xuefeng understood that the garbage missiles like Yecheng were only slightly better than his own rockets. They were really rubbish. Zhu Xuefeng had an idea in his mind. Great peace of mind.

Ignoring the admiring looks on the deck for his fearlessness in the face of danger, Li Xiaojun, who ran out angrily with red eyes just after issuing the order, returned to the command room.

"Calm down! Li Xiaojun, you are the commander of the entire fleet, don't mess up!"

"Yes, Chief!" Li Xiaojun was stunned, stood at attention with red eyes, saluted, and picked up the microphone again.

"The gunboat squad, Commander Huang Yuanshan, you are responsible for the command, let me break in and entangle them..."

The two parties have entered the range of naval guns. The sound of cannons on the sea is rumbling, the fire is soaring into the sky, the smoke is filled, and the pungent smell of gunpowder fills every inch of space.

The naval guns of the Yecheng Navy rained down on the autonomous region fleet. The shells exploded into huge splashes of water on the sea, and the splashing water fell on the decks of the ships like heavy rain. Each explosion was accompanied by strong vibrations, as if the battleship was to be torn apart.

The autonomous region fleet did not show any weakness and immediately launched a counterattack. The two destroyers opened fire first, and the 130mm naval guns made a deafening roar. The flames ejected from the muzzles illuminated the entire hull, like two angry fire beasts roaring. One shell after another roared towards the enemy fleet, exploding around the enemy ship, setting off a sea of ​​​​fire.

Rocket salvos continued from time to time, which gave the opponent a headache. During close combat, the power of this salvo exploded again. A few rockets could effectively kill a large number of enemy personnel and plunge the deck of a ship into death. General silence.

The captain of the "Sea Lion" stood on the command platform and shouted loudly: "Gunners, beat me hard! Let these people know how powerful we are! The leader said that to avenge the dead compatriots, the blood debt must be paid with blood ! ”

The gunners responded in unison: "Yes, blood debt will be paid with blood!" They roared while operating the naval gun skillfully, loading, aiming, and firing in one go, with perseverance and determination in their eyes.

The armed helicopters on the "Hummingbird" quickly took off and formed a formation to fly towards the enemy fleet. While avoiding the enemy's gunfire, he locked on the target ship and launched air-to-surface missiles one after another. The missile dragged a long tail flame, like a sharp sword, piercing the enemy ship. For this encounter, the autonomous region also worked hard. All the few missiles were put into battle, but it had a good effect. Several ships The enemy ships quickly lost their combat effectiveness.

"Huang Yuanshan, let your small gunboats pay attention. Use your flexibility to get close to the enemy fleet and conduct a close attack!" Li Xiaojun issued combat instructions, his voice becoming calm and powerful.

After receiving the order, the six Type 62 small gunboats quickly adjusted their course and rushed towards the enemy fleet. They shuttled flexibly across the sea, avoiding enemy artillery attacks, and at the same time fired at the enemy with their own small-caliber artillery. Although the firepower of small gunboats is not as good as that of destroyers and enemy large and medium-sized ships, their maneuverability makes the enemy elusive and causes some minor troubles to the enemy from time to time.

Underwater, the two submarines "Wolf Fang" and "Seal" were also looking for fighters. They quietly approach the enemy fleet, preparing to launch torpedoes to give the enemy a fatal blow.

"Reporting to Commander, we are close to the right wing of the enemy fleet. Can we launch torpedoes?" the captain of the "Spike" told Li Xiaojun through the underwater communication device, with a hint of excitement and nervousness in his voice. After Li Xiaojun thought for a moment, he replied viciously: "Wait first, look for the best opportunity, and ensure that the hit will hit. Don't act rashly, if we want to attack, we will catch them off guard!"

"Commander, two enemy submarines were found on the sonar display, lurking one hundred meters underwater." The message was received again.

"Blow him up, son of a bitch, and wait for him with depth charges." Li Xiaojun ordered again, "All combat units will implement the plan as planned and actively look for fighter planes!"

The enemy planes arrived as scheduled. Looking at the chaotic naval battle scene, they had no choice but to throw a batch of bombs, and then swayed to launch a separate attack on the autonomous region's fleet. After suffering two rocket salvos, they dropped three fighter planes. Finally, he shook his head and left unwillingly.

As the battle continued, the autonomous region fleet gradually fell into trouble. Relying on its superiority in numbers and firepower, Yecheng Navy formed a siege on the autonomous region fleet. The ships of the autonomous region fleet began to suffer varying degrees of damage.

The deck of the "Flying Eagle" was hit by enemy artillery shells and burst into flames. Flames raged across the deck, devouring everything that was combustible, and billowing smoke shot into the sky. The crew weaved through the raging fire and struggled to put it out, some using fire extinguishers and others watering it with fire hoses. The captain's arm was burned by the fire, but he simply bandaged it and continued to work on putting out the fire. He shouted: "Brothers, we are fighting." As he said this, he asked to drive the ship to collide with the opponent.

Several warships were also hit and suffered serious flooding. Seawater continued to pour into the cabin, and the crew struggled to repair the damage in waist-deep water. They used wooden boards, sandbags and other items to plug the leak, and started the drainage pump to drain the water. The captain of a small gunboat was directing the repair work while encouraging the crew: "Today was worth it. We destroyed the other party's big guy. Damn it, we made a profit!"

"Commander, this is not the way to go. Our casualties are increasing, and the fleet cannot sustain it for too long." The first mate of the flagship said to Li Xiaojun with a worried look on his face. There was a trace of helplessness in his eyes. The naval strength of the two sides was very different. , although with the help of rockets, the several times strength gap and the attacks of enemy aircraft groups also caused the autonomous region fleet to suffer heavy losses.

Li Xiaojun bit his lip tightly, his brows furrowed, and there was a trace of anxiety in his eyes. He knew the first mate was telling the truth, but he couldn't just give up. He paced back and forth in the command room, his leather shoes making a dull sound on the floor.

"How did the Air Force respond? We still have a few minutes to arrive at the battlefield!" Li Xiaojun gave the order, with a hint of urgency in his voice. Although the Navy was fighting hand-to-hand this time, it effectively reduced the attack by enemy aircraft groups, but it really couldn't hold on any longer.

After a while, the communications officer replied: "Captain, the H-6 bombers have taken off as soon as possible after receiving the order and are flying towards the target sea area, but they need us to buy ten minutes to reach the release location."< br>


This is the previously formulated combat plan - to use H-6 bombers to drop electromagnetic pulse bombs. However, there are certain risks in this plan, because the H-6 bombers must avoid enemy fighter jets and can only enter the site when the enemy aircraft is preparing to evacuate. They also need to fly covertly at high altitudes and close to the enemy fleet before they can drop bombs.

Li Xiaojun looked at the commander again. Zhu Xuefeng nodded and took over the temporary command. He looked at his watch, then took a deep breath and made a major decision: "Attention all combat units, we are now starting to leave the battlefield. Each ship will adjust its tactics. We need to hold on for another ten minutes and be ready to fight back. These ten minutes are related to our life and death. We must hold on!”

In the next ten minutes, the autonomous region fleet faced unprecedented pressure. The Yecheng navy seemed to have noticed that the autonomous region fleet wanted to run away. As planned, they gathered again and pursued them. The attacks became more fierce, one after another like a raging tide.

The "Sea Lion" was hit in multiple places on the hull during a concentrated enemy artillery attack. A shell hit the right side of the bridge, and with a loud noise, fire and smoke instantly engulfed the area. The glass of the podium was blown to pieces, turning into countless sharp fragments flying everywhere. Several commanding officers were instantly hit by shrapnel, and blood splattered on the dashboard. A young officer fell in a pool of blood, with unwillingness to complete his mission in his eyes, and weakly shouted: "Captain..."

The lights in the bridge instantly went out, various electronic devices began to flicker, and acrid black smoke emitted. There was a noisy sound of electricity from the communication system, and then it fell into dead silence. The captain looked at the injured officers and the damaged bridge, his heart full of grief and anger, but he still stood firmly on the command platform and shouted loudly: "Keep fighting! Revenge for the brothers!"
< br>

At the same time, the side of the "Sea Wolf" was also hit by a heavy artillery shell. A huge hole was torn open in the armor, and seawater poured into the cabin like a raging beast. The crew struggled to run on the sloping deck, trying to close the watertight doors to stop the spread of seawater.

The siren echoed sharply inside the battleship, and the red warning lights flashed continuously, reflecting on the angry faces. Sailors near the damaged area were knocked to the ground by the impact of the explosion, and some were even thrown directly into the sea.

The only cruiser of the Coconut City Navy was not spared from this artillery feast. An artillery shell from the autonomous region fleet accurately hit its rear main battery position. In an instant, the rear main gun was blown up, the barrel was twisted and deformed, and it collapsed on the deck like a twist. The fire caused by the explosion spread quickly, engulfing the surrounding ammunition depots, followed by a series of more violent explosions.

The rear part of the cruiser was shrouded in fire and smoke, and the ship began to sink slowly. The crew abandoned the ship one after another to escape. They jumped into the sea and swam hard among the oil and debris, while desperate shouts came one after another. An officer struggled in the water, watching his battleship sink, and muttered to himself: "How could this happen..."

The Type 62 100-ton small gunboat "Brave" was hit by the enemy's close-in defense artillery while rushing towards the enemy ship. Cannonballs rained down on its thin hull, leaving craters on the deck and wood chips and metal fragments flying everywhere.

All the glass in the cockpit was broken, and the captain's face was cut with a long gash, and blood was flowing out. However, he still held the steering wheel tightly and tried to steer the warship to a safe area: "Everyone, be prepared, the leader said, We will launch a counterattack soon and kill these sons of bitches!”

However, as a shell hit its power compartment, the "Courageous" instantly lost power, shook violently on the sea, and began to sink slowly. The crew had no choice but to put on life jackets and jump into the rough sea. They looked at the sinking warship, their eyes filled with tears and reluctance. It was no longer their turn to fight back. Many soldiers beat the sinking small gunboat. , shed tears of grievance.

There was a situation on the sea where two large destroyers, along with several frigates and several gunboats, fled desperately, firing back a few cannons from time to time, while a huge fleet of more than forty ships remained behind to pursue and bombard them.

"General, the big deal has been decided. Nearly half of the opponent's ships have been wiped out, and these can't escape!"

"Hmph, I want to run away. This time I have to annihilate them all and push them back to the Stone Age. I wonder if they still have the ability to form a navy. How dare you confront us head-on, an ignorant kid."

A hearty naval battle made the general high-spirited. Although his flagship was also damaged and the losses were not small, it was possible to wipe out these poor guys and capture their strange rockets, which would make everything worthwhile.
