Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 1018 The First Fortress in the Far East (1)
At 14:22 in the afternoon, the Red Bird II anti-ship missiles launched by the blue sky bombers and submarines had been flying for 22 minutes.Liu Muqun and his fleet entered the launching position, and the Fenglei fighter jets made an elegant turn and embarked on the way back.The twelve Blue Sky bombers behind fired 24 Eagle Strike 63 anti-ship missiles in a row, and then turned to follow the Fenglei fighter jets on their return journey.

Three minutes later, the missile entered the final sprint stage. The Longjun early warning aircraft responsible for relay guidance completed the task, and the missile turned on the active radar seeker to enter the final automatic attack-seeking stage.The high-trajectory YJ-3 missile speeds up and enters the final sprint; some sea-skimming missiles lower their altitude and enter a snake-like maneuver at an ultra-low altitude of five meters, and some increase their speed and enter double or even triple the speed of sound for the final sprint. rush ahead.

"My God! Missiles are coming!" Brigadier General Luhrman, the U.S. air commander on the E10 early warning aircraft, looked at the starry radar plane in horror. He knew that a large number of anti-ship missiles had already attacked their fleet.

The data on each early warning aircraft was sent to the four command ships Blue Ridge, Independence, Washington, Constellation and Nimitz through the No. 14 air defense data link.The U.S. command ship was in turmoil. Admiral Bert Weiland in the command room of the Blue Ridge saw "a little bit of starlight" on the big screen, and he shouted: "My God! There are at least hundreds of missiles attacking at the same time! China How do people achieve saturation attacks!"

"Quick, get ready to intercept missiles!" The captains of the frigates and destroyers issued orders hoarsely.

The multifunctional phased array radar searches for incoming missiles and sends the data to the target irradiation radar. After a few seconds, the vertical launch system opens the silo cover and sends Standard II missiles into the sky. At the same time, the radar dot matrix air defense The artillery was also ready for defense.

Flames were blazing on the sea, smoke and dust billowed, and countless Standard II missiles soared from the deck. The missiles flew high into the sky, then lowered their altitude, and flew towards the target.The standard II missiles faced the different heights, different directions and positions, and the speed was fast or slow, and went to the direction of various types of anti-ship missiles, trying to destroy all the intruders on the sea surface.Several high-trajectory Eagle Strike 63 anti-ship missiles became the first targets of Standard II missiles and lattice anti-aircraft artillery. From time to time, missiles "kissed" in the air and exploded into huge giant fireworks.

The Standard II missiles aimed at those low-flying sea-skimming missiles rushed down from high altitude to the sea.The low-speed anti-ship missiles performed a serpentine maneuver. A batch of Standard II missiles were evaded by the anti-ship missiles. Some missiles fell into the sea before they pulled up and flattened. The radio proximity fuze detonated the missile, and the blown-up anti-ship missile then fell into the sea.The low-speed anti-ship missiles that were not hit continued to swoop in the direction of the US aircraft carrier battle group in a snake-like maneuver.

When the high-speed sea-skimming anti-ship missiles are attacked by the standard II missiles of the US military, they speed up and at the same time reduce their altitude to rush forward.Most of the Standard II missiles that rushed from a high altitude missed and fell into the sea. A few turned their warheads and exploded after catching up with the anti-ship missiles. Fragments of various missiles were flying everywhere above the sea.

In the low sky, flames flickered everywhere, and the fiery trees and silver flowers eclipsed the scorching sun in the sky. The scattered smoke slowly appeared in the air, blocking the glare of the sun. devour.

Only a small half of the large number of anti-ship missiles were shot down, and anti-ship missiles of various heights and speeds continued to move forward.Soon, the missile was within the minimum range of the Standard II medium-range defense missile.

The various short-range defense systems of the U.S. military, under the influence of the data sent by the No. 14 data link, one after another short-range air defense missiles rushed into the sky, intercepting the missiles that had already approached their fleet only eight kilometers away. The warships all released jammers in an attempt to disrupt incoming missiles.

However, the short-range defense missiles destroyed some of the incoming missiles, and the rest of the anti-ship missiles continued to roar at the pace of death.

At a distance of five kilometers, the dense array of artillery on all the warships roared, and the sky above the fleet of smoke and dust was as dark as a cloudy sky at this time. In the dark, countless fire chains "swish" into the air. The front of the fleet exploded, and countless fragments flew out of the fireball, rolling in the air, forming a barrage.

Some missiles hit the barrage, and the damaged missiles immediately became riddled with holes and fell into the sea.Some missiles bypassed the barrage and continued to attack in the direction of the Seventh Fleet.For this kind of high-intensity saturation attack, even the most powerful defense system has extremely limited interception capabilities.Soon, a batch of missiles broke through the last interception net and began to issue the death call to the Seventh Fleet.At this time, those warships could only rely on the effect of radar jammers to see if they could escape the fatal blow.

It is impossible to avoid a fatal blow. Even if such a large number of missiles are interfered, they will find another target to attack.The first two missiles fired at the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier were affected by jamming bombs. After changing direction, one fired at the destroyer Bunker Hill, and the other went straight to the destroyer Haiwu.At the same time, one of the two missiles fired at the destroyer Bunker Hill was interfered and fired at the destroyer Mobile Bay, while the other was not interfered and went straight to the USS Bunker Hill.

The Eagle Strike 63 anti-ship missile stuck on the deck of the USS Bunker Hill. The fire flashed, and then there was a deafening bang. Countless steel fragments flew into the air from the explosion, and dark red and black billowing smoke rose into the air. , the unburned fuel entered various parts of the ship and ignited orange flames.The Eagle Strike 63 missile just landed near the command center and exploded. The captain and more than 20 naval officers in the command room were instantly wiped out in the flames and flying debris.

Immediately afterwards, the Red Arrow 8 missile that was lured away from the USS Kitty Hawk by the jamming bomb also hit the guided missile destroyer Bunker Hill. The missile rushed into the starboard side, and the armor-piercing high-explosive warhead penetrated the three-layer bulkhead. There was a violent explosion inside.The explosion of this missile with a terminal sea-skimming height of only five meters tore the cracks below the waterline, and the powerful explosive force stirred up a column of water on the water surface.This time, the missile hit the engine room, and all eight American sailors in the cabin died, the fuel was ignited, and a large amount of sea water rushed in from the breach.Just one Eagle Strike 165 missile with a charge of 500 kilograms can disable a 63-ton warship, let alone add another Red Arrow 8 missile to add fuel to the fire.

The destroyer Bunker Hill, shrouded in thick fire and smoke, couldn't hold on, and this [-]-ton giant ship began to sink slowly.

A Red Bird 4 missile evaded the interception of the Vulcan Phalanx artillery, and successfully resisted the interference of the jamming bombs, and it stuck on the starboard side of the Kitty Hawk.The missile drilled into the hatch of the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk, and rushed into the hangar deck. 200 kilograms of explosives exploded a huge fireball in the hangar in the blink of an eye.With a loud noise, various steel parts in the hangar were torn apart and flew up in the fire. The powerful shock wave rushed from the hangar deck to the flight deck, tearing a huge hole in the solid flight deck. Tongues of flame rushed up the flight deck from the hole, and then rushed into the sky.

Another Red Bird 4 missile, which escaped heavy interception, drilled into the starboard side from five meters above the waterline, blasting a hole more than ten meters in diameter, and cracking all the way below the waterline.A large amount of sea water poured in from the hole, rushing towards the hull.A powerful Eagle Strike 63 missile then roared in, penetrated from the flight deck, penetrated the flight deck, then penetrated the hangar deck, penetrated the lower three decks of the hull, and exploded in the sailor compartment.In an instant, the 6-ton giant ship was filled with toxic smoke, and the high temperature spread everywhere in the ship.

The matter did not end in such a simple way. A Ruby missile and a Red Arrow missile hit the huge ship "symbolizing the honor of the Seventh Fleet" one after another, causing heavy damage to the struggling Kitty Hawk. One punch.The anti-ship missile fired from the Jiawu-class submarine just hit the ammunition elevator, causing the ammunition in the ship to explode violently.On the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier shrouded in thick flames and smoke, the sound of explosions continued, the dark red flames gradually turned orange, and the billowing black smoke rushed several thousand meters into the sky.Thousands of degrees of high-temperature fire lingered in various parts of the ship. Some American sailors were burned to death, and some were suffocated to death by poisonous smoke. , the American sailors in the ship ran desperately to the deck.

The captain, Brigadier General Fox, ordered helplessly: "Except for the damage control personnel, the rest of the personnel will leave the ship with the deputy captain. I will fight with the damage control personnel."

The sea where the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier battle group is located has become Shura's hell. In addition to the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier, which was hit by five missiles in the company, struggling painfully on the sea surface, the destroyer Bunker Hill is slowly sinking, and the destroyer Coates has been hit by the company. Two missiles were blown into two pieces on the spot and sank to the bottom of the sea within 2 minutes; a missile in the USS Thunder floated on the water like a dead fish; two missiles in USS Davis were in flames sinking slowly.

Eighty nautical miles away from the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier battle group, the two light aircraft carriers Thatch and McCluskey each hit three missiles, and both ships sank slowly in billowing smoke.The escorting destroyers around them were also fatally hit. Thick smoke on the sea covered the scorching sun. The destroyers Gutz and Magaro were sinking slowly. The destroyers USS Lance and USS Lance were severely damaged.
