Chapter 1012 Saturation Strike
Of course, it is impossible for the U.S. aircraft carrier battle group to wait for the Dragon Army fighter jets to fly over their heads before intercepting them. Their carrier-based fighter jets will stop the Dragon Army aircraft when they are 500700 kilometers away or even farther away.Because the air-launched anti-ship missiles of the Dragon Army have a range of up to 300 kilometers, they are trying their best to intercept the Dragon Army outside the range of the anti-ship missiles.And this distance is exactly the air combat battlefield where the second-generation fighter jets consume the enemy's strength.

The task of the 2nd generation fighter is to cover the attacks of fighter-bombers and bombers carrying long-range anti-ship missiles.While those fighter planes carrying long-range anti-ship missiles were penetrating defenses, the Dragon Army's third-generation fighter jets covered those fighter-bombers carrying anti-ship missiles with a range of 100 to 200 kilometers, and continued to break into the US aircraft carrier battle group.Missiles with longer ranges are slower, while missiles with shorter ranges are faster.At that time, it will form a multi-directional, multi-layered and multi-angle saturated attack composed of air-launched long-range anti-ship missiles, air-launched short-range anti-ship missiles, submarine-launched anti-ship missiles and anti-ship missiles launched by missile boats.

While the air attack is going on, the old Shark Hunter 1-class submarine and Reef 1-class submarine will look for opportunities. With the cooperation of the new submarines, they will approach the enemy aircraft carrier battle group and use torpedoes to launch a fatal blow to the enemy ship.

Whether it is a ballistic missile or a cruise missile, it is actually very difficult to sink those US aircraft carriers with strong vitality. The torpedo launched by the submarine is the last killer move that finally kills them!You must know that the vitality of the US aircraft carrier is obvious to all. During World War II, the [-]-ton US aircraft carrier could withstand multiple German attacks without sinking.And the modern large American aircraft carrier has even more tenacious vitality!
However, although the vitality of the US aircraft carrier is strong, the vitality of their destroyers and cruisers may not be so strong. Three years ago, a U.S. destroyer was attacked by a pirate rubber boat and lost its combat effectiveness.Therefore, in addition to consuming US fighter planes, the Dragon Army's air strikes are more important to sink the surrounding escort ships so that the Dragon Army's submarines can launch a fatal strike.Moreover, through a series of strikes, the US aircraft carrier can lose its combat effectiveness. This is the key point.

Forty Seawolf 21C mobile ballistic missile launch vehicles quietly arrived at the launch site, ready for launch.At various air force and naval airfields, all the warhawks are ready for attack.

A military base in Singapore.

Huang Guangrui led the students to the pilot's standby room to wait for the order to take off.The ground crews at the airport were running back and forth. They attached large conformal auxiliary fuel tanks and two Red Arrow 3 missiles to these Lanxiang fighter jets.

At the airport at the rear, three-generation fighter jets were slowly taxiing from the apron to the runway.

The pilots put on their helmets and taxied the fighter jets onto the runway to wait for the order to take off.When the green signal light came on, they pushed the throttle lever fiercely, the turbofan engine made a deafening roar, and the Lanxiang fighter jet accelerated rapidly on the runway, and soon jumped up at the end of the runway, piercing the blue sky with its sharp nose. sky.

The comrades in the back drove the fighter jets into the sky one by one, and the fleet circled over the airport. After completing the assembly of the formation, they flew towards the east.At the coastal frontline airport in Malaysia Province, the pilots waiting in the standby room got the order to take off. They rushed out of the standby room one by one and rushed to the fighter jets parked neatly on the tarmac.

The super colonel pilot Huang Guangrui boarded a Fenglei 2 fighter jet. He said goodbye to the ground crew on the ground, and then he started the plane.The turbojet 7B engine roared, and the Fenglei fighter slowly taxied into the runway.This time, his plane carried three huge auxiliary fuel tanks, enough to fly 2300 kilometers, able to complete the task of protecting those old Lanxiang fighters, 2000 kilometers back and forth, and a range of 300 kilometers was enough for him to carry out air combat for about 10 minutes.

However, Huang Guangrui didn't intend to come back alive. He just wanted to do his best to protect those children and ensure that a few young students survived.Three red flares flew into the sky, and Huang Guangrui was the first to drive the fighter off the runway and into the sky.The Fenglei 2 fighter jets at the back rose into the sky one by one following their vice president. After completing the formation, they flew towards the sea and sky without hesitation.

The U.S. E10 early warning aircraft hovering over the aircraft carrier battle group found a large number of Chinese fighter jets flying towards Guam, and they immediately issued an alarm signal to the USS Blue Ridge amphibious command ship: "Chinese attack!"

After receiving the warning signal, the U.S. aircraft carrier groups quickly got busy. They sent the fighter jets that had already been loaded with missiles and filled with fuel and were ready to call at any time through the elevator, one after another to the flight deck.

On the new aircraft carrier USS Independence, American soldiers are sending the P130 fighter jets equipped with AIM35D missiles to the flight deck.At this moment, in the C3 command room of the Blue Ridge, an officer suddenly shouted: "Missile! Ballistic missiles are coming!"

Major General Bert Weiland rushed to the officer and gave him an order: "Switch to the big screen!"

The officer pressed a button that switched the signal from the missile warning aircraft to the big screen.Through the calculation of the central processing computer, the Americans came to a result: "Those missiles launched an attack on the USS Washington aircraft carrier battle group!"

"Quickly, give me an order for the USS Washington to speed up and leave the missile attack area, and get all the destroyers and cruisers ready to launch standard missile interception!" Bert Weiland gave the order.

It's a bit of a mess on the USS Washington, those carrier-based aircraft have just been lifted onto the deck, and in just 10 minutes, it's too late to send the aircraft to the sky or back to the flight deck, those Americans One can only hope that the ballistic missile doesn't hit the flight deck this time.The Burke-class frigate escorting the USS Washington intercepted the incoming missiles. The radar on the ship handed over the incoming ballistic missile data to the system for calculation, and then began to launch missiles to intercept.The smoke and dust billowed on the sea surface, the flames flickered, and one fire dragon after another rose into the sky.Four Burke-class destroyers, including destroyer DDG112, fired intensive artillery fire, forming multiple impenetrable fire protection nets, and flew in the direction of the Seawolf 21C ballistic missile.

For the interception of ballistic missiles, Americans do not expect a 100% success rate. Generally, an interception rate of about 35% is already very good.Their wishful thinking is: as long as most of the missiles are intercepted and saturation attacks are prevented, with the speed of the aircraft carrier itself, the remaining missiles cannot pose a threat to the aircraft carrier.After all, ballistic missiles carrying conventional warheads are not so easy to attack surface ships.There is at least fifteen to twenty-ten minutes of reaction time from when the missile early warning aircraft detects an incoming missile to when the missile arrives at the location. During this time, the aircraft carrier can run more than ten kilometers.

Discovering incoming interception firepower, the steering engines of 20 Seawolf 21C ballistic missiles fired at the USS Washington aircraft carrier ignited and performed pulse-like work, causing the missiles to start orbital maneuvers and evasive actions.

The ATK steering control engine on the U.S. Standard III interceptor missile also performs pulse ignition to control the steering of the missile. The Standard III missile that has left the atmosphere enters the interception orbit and goes straight to the Seawolf 21C missile.A Seawolf 21C missile was hit by a Standard III missile, and the two missiles shattered into a pile of debris after they collided in space orbit.When the second Standard III missile was fired at a Seawolf 21C missile, the ballistic missile changed its trajectory, and the two missiles missed each other and passed by in the air.The third Seawolf 21C missile also evaded interception and continued to move forward.

Due to the use of orbit-changing maneuvering technology, the interception rate of the American Standard III missiles has been reduced to only 5%, which is far from the expected effect.The remaining missiles continued to pounce in the direction of the USS Washington, and a few minutes later, the missiles re-entered the atmosphere.After the missile returned to the atmosphere, the warheads separated, and each warhead released five sub-warheads, which continued to fly towards the sea.

The accuracy of these radio-guided missiles is very low, let alone the interception rate, basically all rely on luck. powerful.This time, 60 of the 32 sub-warheads were destroyed, and the remaining 28 sub-warheads marched forward bravely, and soon reached a high speed of tens of Machs, shooting at the target without hesitation.The speed at this time is already a high speed that no anti-missile weapon can intercept.

The U.S. aircraft carrier USS Washington and its escort ships accelerated to leave, but those warheads changed their course and swooped towards the top of the fleet with the momentum of Mount Tai.

"Prepare to maneuver and avoid incoming missiles!" Admiral Bert Weiland saw everything in front of the big screen, and he gave orders to the USS Washington aircraft carrier battle group.In his mind, the ability of ballistic missiles to change direction is poor, especially after the separated warheads run at high speed in the atmosphere. It is a difficult problem for any country to solve the ability to turn and track.At this time, the American sailors could already see the incoming red fireballs with their naked eyes.

The Americans feel that, with the maneuverability of the ship, avoiding ballistic missiles with poor steering is not a problem at all.However, this time they made a wrong estimate: Although the problem of warhead tracking at high temperature and high speed cannot be solved, the sub-warheads this time are all cluster bombs. In an instant, fiery red meteors suddenly appeared several It exploded a hundred meters in the air, and countless bullets the size of mortar shells rained down on the sea.Although those ships tried their best to evade, how could they escape the rain of bullets covering an area of ​​more than ten square kilometers?
