Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 693

The "Lightning" fighter is a military aircraft developed by the Lockheed Company of the United States. It was designed by the legendary Kelly Johnson. Its maximum speed is 576 kilometers per hour. It uses a V1710111/173 water-cooled engine with an average output of 1475 horsepower. The maximum range is 800 kilometers.This aircraft has excellent performance and has been sought after by countries all over the world as soon as it came out, especially the United Kingdom, which is a close partner of the United States, immediately paid a huge deposit to the US Department of Defense. .It is a bit far-fetched to say that the Lightning fighter is the best military aircraft in the world, but the Lightning fighter can definitely be ranked among the top ten best fighters in the world. This is also a weapon of war that the British are proud of.

At this time, the squadron leader of the Lightning Fighter has successfully locked a Chinese fighter jet in the distance. Now as long as he is happy, he can add another star to his plane at any time. Just when he was considering whether to do it or not, the radar screen , which originally represented only one plane's light spot, suddenly turned into a pile.At the same time, on the Hundred-Eyed Giant aircraft carrier, all the communication and reconnaissance frequency bands are full of annoying noise and noise. The communication and reconnaissance, which were originally very smooth, suddenly became difficult. , so that the other party can hear the general content.

"What's going on?" Seeing such a scene, Mountbatten asked seriously.

"I'm sorry sir, we were just blocked and disturbed." Hearing Mountbatten's inquiry, the communications soldier took off his headset and replied helplessly.

"Interference?" Mountbatten repeated the term strangely. For a long time, this has been a common tactic used by his own army. "So is there a way to solve it?" He continued to ask.

"Not yet. The other party seems to be interfering with all frequency bands within 0.5-40 GHz. We are trying to increase the power to fight." The communication officer shook his head helplessly.

"All frequency bands? Then what communication do they use?" Hearing the communication officer's answer, Mountbatten asked in surprise.

"I don't know, maybe it's a telegram?" The communications officer replied with a shrug. "However, it is very strange that our jammer can only interfere with the frequency domain of 30 MHz to 18 GHz and the distance range of 200 to 300 kilometers at most, and this is already the limit of the carrying capacity, and the tonnage of this equipment is too large, so it can only be used in the Used on warships. I am wondering how the Chinese moved such a large device to their AWACS aircraft?"

"Report, the launch point of the interference source has been detected, 40 nautical miles ahead, Tianzi-class destroyer. The fighter plane can take off at any time, please instruct." Soon the communication officer's question was answered.Ever since he turned on the jammer, the captain of the Tianzi-class destroyer hadn't stopped smoking one after another, and the entire command cabin was filled with thick smoke.Although I am not afraid of death, once the jammer is destroyed, it will directly affect the future battle. The two early warning aircraft in the sky can't take on this task at all, but they can't do it without flying. The more than 200 aircraft behind me rely on their own cover. If there is a check here, if there is no guarantee there, will the plane fall down?

"Hold on for a while longer." Thinking of this, the captain threw the half-smoked cigarette in his hand on the ground, and then rolled it with his foot. "Listen, all sailors, take your guns to the deck!" After finishing speaking, He was the first to walk to the deck.

Here, Mountbatten has issued an order to destroy the source of interference. Radar is the eyes and ears of the battle group. Without radar, then blitzkrieg and even if it is transparent, I am afraid it will not be more effective than kites.Two Lightning fighters have already taken off, and their purpose is to destroy the jammers on the Tianzi-class destroyer.At the same time, all the sailors on the Tianzi class were fully armed and stood at various positions on the deck. Although the captain knew that what he was about to face would definitely be a large-scale coverage of aerial artillery, and the weapons in their hands faced such an attack. Hitting, it's hard to come in handy.But as a soldier, he didn't allow himself to give up resistance because of the strength of the enemy, and even though he knew it was impossible to fight, he had to fight to the death.

"Predator No. [-] called No. [-]. It has entered the launch range and requests to release the bird." Although the two planes are very close to each other, Lightning's wingman still needs to roar to suppress the huge rustling sound in the earphones.

"Received on the [-]st, you can fly the bird." Unlike the wingman, the lead plane seemed to have given up the radio, and simply flew close to the wingman, replacing the command with a neat hand gesture.

"Bird No. [-], get ready, let go!" The wingman clearly made an OK gesture, and then pressed the launch engine swiftly.

Under the belly of the Lightning fighter, a dark iron guy was dropped, and an airborne bomb AGM quickly fell towards the target, but the hit rate of the airborne bomb was extremely low, and the observers had obviously not calculated the impact of the wind. It deviated from the Tianzi level by nearly four nautical miles, and an explosion was triggered on the sea surface.

"Captain, they are here!" At the same time, on the Tianzi-class destroyer, the soldiers in charge of security suddenly pointed at the sky behind them excitedly, and shouted loudly to the captain who was lighting a cigarette.

The captain casually stuffed the cigarette back into the cigarette case, then threw it into the hands of the soldier indiscriminately, grabbed the binoculars with one hand, and looked into the sky.Not far away, a whole lightning squadron flew towards them in a neat formation.

"Haha, we've finally arrived." The captain said with a smile, "Go and turn off the interference, and prepare the depth charges. Everyone else, go back to the cabin for me. Also, who took things for me just now? Hurry up and put the cigarettes away." Pay me back, or this matter will never end."

The sudden disappearance of the interference source made Lightning Squadron very uncomfortable. Although there was no rustling sound in the earphones, those numerous light spots on the radar screen did not disappear at all.

"Attention! Lightning Squadron, 10 nautical miles ahead, there are twenty enemy planes approaching you." When the familiar warning tone of the flagship communicator sounded in the communicator, the Lightning Squadron fully understood that the light spots on the radar Not a distraction, but a real plane.

"Attention everyone, return to the brood!" The squadron leader gave an order, and Lightning quickly turned back to his own fleet.

However, the formation of the three Chinese fighter planes did not slow down, but flew towards the coalition fleet at full speed!

The moment the interference disappeared, the instruments in the command module of the Hundred-Eyed Giant could finally work normally, but when they saw the displayed information, they would rather hope that the interference still existed.

"8 nautical miles ahead, there are [-] Chinese fighter planes, no, [-]," the radar officer first watched for a long time in disbelief, and then reported loudly in a loud and startling voice.

"Turn on the defense system, get them out immediately" the captain shouted angrily after hearing the radar officer's report.

"Wait!" Mountbatten suddenly interrupted the captain's order, "Enter the first level of combat readiness, don't launch an attack yet!" Mountbatten pondered for a moment, and ordered decisively.

As soon as the interference disappeared, all the aircraft warning radars of the Second Dragon Squadron buzzed non-stop as if stung by a scorpion, and in front of them was the famous Hundred-Eyed Giant aircraft carrier battle group.

"Captain, the front is his territory, do you want to go there?" the wingman reminded through the communicator.

"Fart! This is China's territorial waters, our own territory. We can go wherever we want." The captain of the second squadron shouted into the communicator, "Attention everyone, lower the altitude."

At the same time, all the Fenglei fighters lowered their altitude to 500 meters and flew towards the Hundred-Eyed Giant in a neat pair.

On the flagship of the British army, all personnel stopped their work and looked up at the sky in unison. The Fenglei fighter plane has now flown close enough to attack with ordinary anti-aircraft artillery, but everyone still has not received the order to attack .

In the command cabin, Mountbatten has become the focus of everyone's attention. His every move is being watched by the people around him, for fear of missing an order.

"To fight or not to fight?" Mountbatten was facing the same problem that surrounded the Chinese fleet commander at the moment.If there is a fight, it is destined that one of the two huge sea powers of China and Britain will eventually fall.Leaving aside who lost in the end, it is certain that the losses of both parties are immeasurable.

Today's China and the UK are no longer what they were 50 years ago. The current Sino-US trade volume has reached billions of pounds, and many domestic industries and manufacturing projects in the UK depend on China's support. If the shell hits the past, billions of pounds will be wiped out in an instant. Who can afford such a loss, the Chinese or the British?

Mountbatten is often asked how many aircraft carriers the Hundred-Eyed Giant is built by the British Empire, but Mountbatten himself knows that the so-called British build is better to say that it is a Sino-British joint venture. Who knows how many aircraft carriers there are in the Hundred-Eyed Giant? The components are clearly made in China.China's manufacturing power and strength have penetrated into almost every corner of this aircraft carrier.

The British are used to a luxurious life, they like to read the newspaper while opening the windows, soaking up the fresh air, they like to taste the authentic Scotch black brand whiskey, and they like to add some martinis to the gin and these need It is supported by the British pound, but if China and Britain go to war, will the pound become a pile of useless waste paper?

If the British economy goes back 10 years, the Chinese can still live happily, but for the British, they can't even afford a power outage of even one hour.

Mountbatten knew that he was facing a difficult decision. He squeezed his forehead hard, and after a long time, he slowly ordered: "The exercise is over, order all the warships to return, and return to the Mannar Bay Naval Port to stand by."

When the Fenglei fighter came over the Hundred-Eyed Giant, the sound of the warning radar suddenly disappeared, "The enemy ship retreated, and everything went well. The Second Squadron asked whether to return." When the voice of the second squadron leader was transmitted through the speaker At the tower, the captain Huang Guangrui nodded solemnly to everyone, picked up the confidential radio and ordered: "I agree to return, and at the same time, I ordered the other two squadrons to cancel their mission and return immediately." Huang Guangrui finally breathed a sigh of relief, because He knew that Singapore's main fleet was on its way to the Indian Ocean at this time. If his three fighter squadrons and the British main warship exchanged fire this time, he would have no idea who would win the battle.
