Open an aircraft carrier to fight against Japan

When the news spread to Beijing, Lin Yuan saw Carlos I's little trick at a glance. Lin Yuan secretly smiled in his heart, Portugal, Portugal, fortunately we won the sea battle of Gibraltar, otherwise you just wait to be wiped out by me. Since you have declared to be a permanent neutral country, then I will not push you hard.

So Lin Yuan sent a telegram to officially establish diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level with the Kingdom of Portugal. Portugal, as the first country in Europe to surrender without a fight, was hyped by Lin Yuan.

However, Portugal's move made Britain and Germany very angry, and Portugal's close neighbor, Spain, was also furious, so Spain declared war on Portugal, and a war broke out between the two sides.

Both Portugal and Spain are located on the Pyrenees Peninsula, and there is an extremely long border between the two countries. This fight is very lively, and the battle line is hundreds of kilometers long.

Lin Yuan was far away from Portugal and could not provide direct support, so he only supported Portugal verbally, and let Spain and Portugal fight together. This is actually what Lin Yuan really wanted to see. more favorable.

Lin Yuan ordered Yu Feng to continue attacking Gibraltar, and the Blue Ocean Carrier Battle Group immediately launched an attack on Gibraltar after a day's rest.

The first thing Yu Feng wanted to kill was the coastal defense guns set up on the coast of Gibraltar. These coastal defense guns were all [-]mm heavy guns. They were all set up on the cliffs, hundreds of meters above the ground, and the sea attack distance Up to [-] kilometers, although the range of the coastal defense artillery is not so far, but it is at a high place, and the shell has gravitational potential energy, so the range is naturally extremely long.

If the most powerful aircraft carrier battle group was hit by coastal defense artillery, it would be an eternal joke in the history of human warfare, so no matter what, Yu Feng didn't want to be hit by coastal defense artillery.

Yu Feng planned to dispatch the ship-borne one to directly destroy the coastal defense guns. These coastal defense guns were all set up in the open air, and there was only something like a shelter on the roof. The ship-borne one needed to drop laser-guided bombs. The guns are all over.

Just as Yu Feng was about to give an order, he didn't expect Lu Xue to come to the operation command room. Yu Feng was taken aback, a little angry, irrelevant personnel are not allowed to enter the operation control room casually, "Lu Xue, why are you here?"

The clever Lu Xue quickly heard the anger in Yu Feng's tone, and hurriedly put on a pitiful look, "Why are you angry? Is it because I entered the command room without authorization and made you unhappy?"

When Yu Feng saw Lu Xue's cute appearance, his anger disappeared, and he sighed, "It's nothing, tell me, what's the matter?"

Lu Xue smiled and said, "I'm here to say that we don't need to send planes to blow up coastal defense guns. It's a waste of fuel and bombs. Why don't we let our shipboard lasers do it?"

Yu Feng shook his head, "No, your shipborne lasers can only attack within the line of sight, if the distance is too close, you will be hit by the enemy."

"Don't worry, no, we have calculated that we can hit the enemy's coastal defense artillery from 100 kilometers away, and the enemy's coastal defense artillery can't hit it from [-] kilometers away anyway. As for the lethality Well, you can rest assured that the laser energy is enough to create cracks on the coastal defense guns, making the opponent's coastal defense guns incapable of firing shells."

"This..." Yu Feng was still a little hesitant. Laser strikes on coastal defense guns are not like laser strikes on aircraft and speedboats. Airplanes and speedboats contain fuel and various weapons loaded with explosives. As long as the laser beam hits them, they can be detonated. Fuel and explosives, but the coastal defense guns have no fuel inside, and the shells will not be loaded in them all the time, so when the laser hits them, the coastal defense guns will not explode at all, so no one knows whether the laser has caused damage to the coastal defense guns. mutilate.

Lu Xue begged humbly: "Brother Commander, please, use our lasers to fight coastal defense guns, there are only benefits and no harm."

Yu Feng thought about it, the British army had a lot of coastal defense guns, if they dispatched a ship, they would need to fly several sorties, but if they used lasers, they would only need to dispatch a battleship once.

So Yu Feng nodded in agreement with Lu Xue, and Lu Xue happily went to prepare, this time Lu Xue dispatched the Mengtian ship to attack the coastal defense artillery.

The difference between laser weapons and other weapons is that it can strike when it is found. As long as the target can be seen, the laser can be fired. There is no need to consider the amount of advance or ballistic, as long as it is fired, the coastal defense gun is a fixed target. , so it's easy to hit.

The Mengtian ship approached Gibraltar at a distance of about [-] kilometers, turned on the optical telescope, aimed at the coastal defense gun, and pressed the launch button, and laser beams shot at the coastal defense gun immediately, but the coastal defense gun did not respond at all, just like the rest of the war before the war. As Feng worried, it is really difficult to see if the coastal defense gun is damaged by using a laser to hit the coastal defense gun.

The captain of the Mengtian ship is Mingming Ning. After shooting the coastal defense guns according to the plan, he had a plan. Since the coastal defense guns have been damaged and cannot be fired, why don't we use small boats to lure the enemy's coastal defense guns to fire? Well, if the coastal defense artillery did not attack the small boat, wouldn't it mean that the attack was successful?

The captain of the Mengtian ship would rather do what he said tomorrow, and then ordered the small boat to dispatch to approach the coastal defense artillery.

As a warship that performs multiple missions, it is impossible not to equip a warship with small boats. The Mengtian ship is equipped with two small boats, each of which has a displacement of about [-] tons. It is a catamaran type with a maximum speed of up to Forty knots can perform a series of tasks such as reconnaissance and rescue.

The Mengtian ship sent a small boat. The small boat sailed towards the coastal defense artillery at a high speed. After traveling more than 30 kilometers, the small boat suddenly found several British warships in front. It does not exceed a thousand tons, and there are not many artillery pieces on the ship, so it should not be a main battleship.

Each of these warships has long guide rails extending from the stern and both sides of the ship into the water. The captain of the small boat didn’t know what it was, so he asked his subordinates to take pictures of this warship and send them to Meng Tian.

The captain of Meng Tian received these photos and immediately organized experts to analyze them. After analysis, the experts concluded that these warships were British minelayers.

Ming Ning, the captain of the Mengtian ship, couldn't help but be taken aback. He didn't expect that when he sent a small boat to lure the coastal defense guns to shoot, he encountered the enemy's mine-laying boat.

Tomorrow Ning immediately ordered the small boat: "Don't conflict with the British mine-laying boats, retreat immediately."

The commander of the small boat sent back a message: "The British minelayer did not attack after seeing us, and withdrew directly."

Tomorrow, Ning thought about it, and then ordered: "Accord with the original plan, and lure the coastal defense artillery to fire!"
