Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Long Gang was right.

At this time, a tragic drama of "ants moving" is being staged on the strait.

Countless civilian ships are sailing to the other side carrying military supplies.

It is not an exaggeration to use ants to describe these small-tonnage civilian ships.

Too much, too much.

The transportation model proposed by Li Zheng is also helpless.

Using small-tonnage ships for transportation is itself a life-threatening method.

Public and private units, enterprises, and individuals in the fishing and shipping industry along the southeast coast were mobilized. Many people donated their boats, and even some "big flying" speedboats that were used for gray business were also donated.

In just two days, more than 20,000 ships have been registered to provide transportation material support to the Green Zone.

This can be said to be the result of nationwide mobilization.

An astonishing number of small boats were loaded with military supplies on the pier, and they set off towards the Green Zone without looking back, using the ant-moving model. The scene was spectacular, but also very tragic.

If he had a choice, Li Zheng would not adopt this method to transport materials.

This is going to kill people!

The advantage of a small boat is that it has a small target and is less likely to be detected by red reconnaissance satellites, radars and early warning aircraft.

Even if they are discovered, there are so many ships that Blue cannot launch an effective attack.

After all, the price of an LRSAM anti-ship missile is not cheap, and attacking a civilian small-tonnage ship is simply not worth the gain.

Even if the blue side doesn't care about the cost, he can't produce more than 20,000 missiles for interception.

However, in the Blue Joint Staff Headquarters, Wen Zhaohui, who was already furious, proposed a strike to Long Gang.

"We must carry out an effective attack on these transport ships, otherwise they will be able to replenish all the supplies needed for the Green Zone in less than two days!"

indeed.

There is strength in numbers.

The more ships there are, the greater the transport capacity.

There are more than 20,000 large and small civilian ships, although they are all of small tonnage.

But although ants are small, if there are many, they will eat elephants.

"Those transport boats must be struck!"

After thinking again and again, Wen Zhaohui made a decision.

"If we use ordinary anti-ship missiles, we can't reach it."

A Blue Army staff officer raised his concerns.

His concerns were not without reason.

There are many types of anti-ship missiles currently in service by the Blue Army, such as the "Harpoon" anti-ship missile, but this product is only 120 kilometers away, which means that it can only launch an attack within 120 kilometers of the strait. At this distance, the launch vehicle It is easy to be intercepted by the Red Air Force. Generally speaking, it is risky and has little effect.

Another example is the Naval Strike Missile (NSM), which is the fifth-generation anti-ship missile fired by Kongsberg and was once tested on its Littoral Combat Ship.

The NSM missile has good performance in terms of lethality, survivability, and accuracy, but its weakness is still in its range, which is a little more than two hundred kilometers at most. To use him to destroy small transport ships in the strait, the ship must be driven within 200 kilometers of the strait.

When entering that range, you will face detection by various types of radars and early warning aircraft deployed by the red side on the southeast coast or in the hinterland. Although the red team's reconnaissance satellites are gone, the radar and air defense systems have not been destroyed by Gohan. They ventured into the 200-kilometer range and might not be able to get in there themselves.

If the NSM missile is not good, then there is the Standard 6 anti-ship missile. This anti-ship missile is derived from the "Standard" 2 extended range type. The missile has a total length of 6.55 meters, a diameter of 533 mm, a launch mass of 1 kg, and is propelled by a two-stage rocket. , using inertial navigation + mid-course command correction + terminal active radar/semi-active radar homing.

The improved Standard 6 anti-ship type has a range of only 400 kilometers. It also has a high chance of being discovered. Moreover, it is also launched from a ship, so the risk is even greater.

Of course, there are still many anti-ship missile styles in the blue team's arsenal. The attack range of the above is not enough. There is also a new version of the "Sea Strike Tomahawk" with a long range, which has a range of up to 1600 kilometers.

This thing has the highest range among all Blue Army anti-ship missiles. The purpose of developing it is to target the Red Army's "anti-access/area denial" missile force.

Ordinarily, using this missile to deal with civilian ships is not a problem if the cost is not considered.

Unfortunately……

It has high requirements for guidance, but now the blue side has also lost its GPS positioning capabilities. Currently, the blue side only has a few small reconnaissance satellites that have been converted to military use, the kind that take pictures, without guidance functions...

If this Tomahawk anti-ship missile relies on starlight navigation and inertial navigation to attack small-tonnage fishing boats, its hit rate will be impressive even if you think about it with your toes.

Therefore, of course this weapon will not work.

In the end, after much deliberation, the combination of LRSAM anti-ship missiles + B-1B Lancer bombers is the most suitable.

The LRASM has a range of up to 1000 kilometers, which is far beyond the range of the ship's radar. The traditional solution is to use data link "cooperation" technology to relay guidance to the missile by different platforms or satellites, without relying on GPS. So heavy.

Moreover, it "has the ability to work when sensors and information networks are completely cut off" as its core capability. It can rely on advanced missile-borne sensor technology and data processing capabilities for target detection and identification, reducing the need for accurate intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance information. It relies on the source, data link and GPS information to carry out completely autonomous navigation and precise guidance without the support of any relay guidance information, avoiding the problem of target deviation caused by electromagnetic interference.

LRSAM is the best and most outstanding of all existing Blue Army anti-ship missiles in terms of range, lethality, survivability, accuracy and dependence on GPS.

Therefore, if we want to attack the red side's transport ship pair at this time, in addition to LRSAM, only LRSAM can be qualified for this task.

"Then use LRSAM anti-ship missiles to attack!"

Even Long Gang frowned after hearing Wen Zhaohui's words.

"The quantity has basically formed an effective strike effect." Long Gang said: "At present, we have less than 300 LRSAM missiles left. We use them to attack civilian ships, and we will use them to deal with the Red Army in subsequent landing operations. aircraft carrier formation."

"Chief," Wen Zhaohui said, "I only want 36!"

"36?" Long Gang frowned even more tightly: "There are not even ten thousand but thousands of ships transporting on the water in the strait. What can 36 be used for?"

He really couldn't understand what Wen Zhaohui meant.

Wen Zhaohui said: "The battle is about morale! I will use these 36 anti-ship missiles to destroy their morale!"

"Oh?" Long Gang seemed to vaguely smell the meaning of Wen Zhaohui's words: "Are you trying to scare them away?"

"Correct!"

Wen Zhaohui said with great certainty: "36 pieces, divided into three batches, three waves, one wave after another. The interception rate of the red side is as high as two-thirds. In other words, there will be several transport ships every time." If hit, judging from the tonnage of these civilian ships requisitioned by Li Zheng, they are at most hundreds of tons of civilian ships, and small ones are even speedboats with only a few tons or even less than one ton. We will pick the larger ones and use the LRSAM anti-ship missiles. The power is enough to break a civilian ship of hundreds of tons into pieces. I think when other ships see it, some people will be afraid and some will flee. Once they flee, they will be like an infectious disease and everyone will follow. Escape, with so many ships crowded in the strait, it is easy for collisions to occur and the army to be defeated like a mountain. If one or two ships start to escape, our goal will be achieved! 12 hours later, we will launch a landing battle to seize the island. , once the red side's civilian transportation brigade breaks away, there will definitely not be enough time to reorganize! At that time, our tactical purpose can also be achieved!"

"it is good!"

Long Gang understood.

"I agree with your idea, let's do it!" (End of Chapter)
