Out of the cage

Just when the Battle of the Equator in New Guinea was about to start, the old "tigers" in the Pacific Ocean Fleet of China were looking at the south desolately.

Shenzhou, Dayuan Island, Lianhua Port. This is the base of the Shenzhou Pacific Ocean Navy.

In this geographical location, China can control the important maritime trade in East Asia by deploying enough sea control forces in mainland China. Belongs to the position of "one son sets the world".

Da Yuan and Sinhala are called by the Shenzhou Navy as the two stone lions at the gate of the ocean.

Fu Yuji, Admiral of the Shenzhou Navy, is seventy years old this year and will hand over power in a few years. Inside Shenzhou, there are always people who say that he achieved this high position by relying on the unique skill of a 'tumbler'. But it has to be said that because of his stable control of the strongest navy in the Pacific Ocean, this has allowed the Western Pacific Ocean to maintain peace for decades. Therefore—contemporary Wei Keng's evaluation of him is: "a loyal gatekeeper."

The elites of Eastern China clearly realize that the Dongbin area is going downhill, and the manpower and material resources that can be invested in various strategic directions are limited. Attacking at will will only intensify the consumption of vitality, so that Shenzhou Dongbin will fall faster. Only by consolidating strength in places where you still have an advantage can you stabilize your hegemony.

It is worth mentioning that ten years ago, at the beginning of the rise of Tianzhuyang's sea power, Fu Yuki tried to make the Pacific Ocean's naval power and Tianzhuyang switch defenses. But this matter was blocked by the Silk faction who "did not want others to get involved in the sea trade line" at the time, so they gave up. But it can be seen from this that the old man is not a complete shrinking turtle.

Today's situation, however, is another story. Lizhou was taken down, and the development of the sea has undergone unprecedented changes. The era of battleship dominance may be over. Capital ships can only be destroyed from a distance, while clear occupation requires ocean strongholds.

But once the problem is brought here, it is a problem other than the military.

From the perspective of the people of Eastern China, 20 years ago, the academic and business elites with high moral sentiments in Dongbin wanted to protect the ocean and let the next generation of children eat seafood free of heavy metals. So at that time, a "wise" decision was made to terminate marine development.

In 20 years, Western Shenzhou took over this "garbage industry" that was despised by Jiangnan. important strategic industry.

The economic pattern can determine the military pattern.

Fu Yuji looked at the map of the world's oceans, and accepted a strategic fact with difficulty, that is, today's Zhuyang circled a large arc of tens of thousands of kilometers from the south to try to double-team the Taiyang forces.

This unprecedented large-scale strategic encirclement is an unprecedented masterpiece in the past few hundred years since mankind entered the age of great navigation.

In this era of rapidly changing technology, Fu Yuki is obviously old. However, due to the inertia of the bureaucratic structure in the old navy, the Shenzhou Navy still needs his prestige to suppress stability.

So four hours later, at the strategic decision-making meeting on the Eastern Front of Shenzhou, he acted as the coordinator and asked the six generals next to him to each hold a set of plans. For the current situation in the equatorial region (the confrontation between Nanyang and Shengyang in one group, and the confrontation between Dayang Commune and Lizhou Shezhi in the other group), choose the current response plan for Shenzhou Dongbin.

After reading these reports, Fu Yuji frowned, but in the end the general was pulled out from among the dwarves.

He chose a plan completed by a colonel named Inoue. This person is from Izumo Province.

His opinion is to concentrate the forces of Thunderbolt and block the command strait. This seems to be an unrelated idler, but it confuses the whole Taiyangyang, oh, this is attracting stones from other mountains to attack jade.

~

When China blocked the entire Pacific Ocean into an inland sea. Here the pattern changes.

Inoue's statement: Originally, the envoys of the Shenzhou Nanyang Festival and the forces of the Lizhou United Ocean Commune were like bison staring at each other and anxious in the arena.

During the current bison fight, other forces, such as Edenia and Shengyang, have all withdrawn from the battlefield and watched from the high platform. But now if Shenzhou Dongbin closes the gates of the entire stand to form a prison cage,

The "bison" will look around the field and try to guard against the movements of enemies from other sides that cannot be evacuated.

At that time, because the power of the Lizhou Ocean Commune occupies the center of the Pacific Ocean Basin, they will realize that they have to face the forces in the three directions of the North and South New World, Shengyang, and Nanyang at the same time. It will also be forcibly settled down.

~

After Inoue finished speaking, the eyes of everyone who had been trapped in strategic passivity lit up.

Fu Yuki did not have a foresight perspective. If he was a system-assisted traveler, he would know that Inoue had made strategic mistakes that he took for granted in several battles on multiple timelines.

Strategy needs to be supported by ability. If you want to raise "bison" in captivity, the "fence" must be strong enough. If this buffalo was the rising sun a hundred years ago, it could still be confined with the national power of China, but now it is enclosing itself.

But for Yuki, there is really no way at the moment. It was inevitable that he chose Inoue. If there is no history.

~

at the corridor,

Fu Yuji's assistant Chen Lejia stopped Inoue.

As the winner of the battle meeting just now, Inoue slowly turned around and asked, "What happened?"

Chen Lejia took a deep breath and said, "I am looking forward to your victory wine. I wish you a successful mission." Then he handed him the report on the combat effectiveness evaluation of the latest lotus submersible in East Asia.

Chen Lejia asked for his opinion.

Inoue pushed his glasses: "The momentum of the Oceanic Front in the south looks great now. But if Shenzhou can integrate resources, it will steadily tilt the balance of victory to the imperial court."

But at this time, Chen Lejia sighed in a low voice: "It is indeed a good conspiracy, but do you know who is the commander that Western Shenzhou sent in the Southwest Pacific Ocean?"

At this time, the sky darkened in due time, and a cloud covered the sun.

...

In the Southern Ocean, the Ocean Commune's offensive against the Java Fleet is busy.

The forward commander in the depths of the ocean, Colonel Liu Xi of the Oceanic Commune, after confirming his mission in the campaign, began to spin like a top, looking for a breakthrough direction around the overall strategic goal.

This is the characteristic of Wei Keng's command system. After the battle starts, the key nodes and significance of the battle must be clearly explained to the relevant personnel.

In Master Wei's command system, abandoned sons do not exist. Will not hide the key for the sake of the so-called overall situation.

In order to ensure that the various ministries of the campaign can be carried out as scheduled, all the ministries at the grassroots level are "lively, tense, and serious".

The General Command determined three possible marching routes for the Java Fleet. And arranged for deployment.

As the team at the end of the chain of command, Liu Xi declared to his soldiers: "The mission has been clarified, and I also know the danger at the front of the battle. But I just need to know if I can complete the mission!"

"able!"

In the small command cabin, the loud and clear voice from another small battle cabin came from the projection communication interface.

Bloody masculinity blooms in the depths of this ocean.

~

On the other side where Liu Xi can communicate, the frontier engineering team is already completing the field network for ocean monitoring.

The information of the ocean battle comes first, and the engineering team will deploy automatic monitoring stations within a limited time after the command of the campaign is issued.

Forty-eight hours after setting up the monitoring station, a large number of ship sonar signals were found on the No. 2 channel that Liu Xi judged.

In the Great Barrier Reef area, on the continental shelf, the instructor of the long-range strike department who has already placed the missile force said: "Start to measure the ocean current."

After the first order was issued, the entire missile command system was like water entering a hot pot, and various orders began to boil.

The fighters wearing spiritual armor began to issue complicated orders to the interface in front of them.

...

At 8 o'clock in the morning, the forces of the Oceanic Front began to attack the coalition fleet along the equatorial ocean current.

The "Java Group" in Nanyang, the sea fleet that was originally flamboyantly lined up in double rows, heard the sound of an alarm from the bottom. Less than five minutes later, the underwater supercavitating torpedoes and the sudden air strikes on the water surface turned the entire sea area into a radiant scene.

The scene of lasers and small missiles exploding in the sky is great though. All this is just to interfere with the operation of anti-submarine fighters taking off from the sea.

But it's the underwater raid that's really deadly. There was a ring-shaped white shock wave centered on the bottom keel of the battleship. There was no smoke, and there was no scene of steel collapse, but this did directly affect the shock wave on the keel. If you look through the heavy interior of the battleship, the inside of the keel has broken. In the core compartment, densely packed tiny tear openings within a range of tens of meters are spraying water, which is a fatal injury that cannot be blocked.

~

The encirclement and annihilation of the Java fleet was the focus of a battlefield spanning thousands of kilometers, but it was also fought elsewhere.

1,400 kilometers away, the Shengyang Navy crossed the equatorial ocean current, preparing to take advantage of the start of the war and take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack and look for opportunities.

All is well with clear skies,

Within 50 meters, Shengyang Submarine's Lance 8 spearhead submarine is forming a battle line to complete the area alert for the follow-up large warships.

However, at this moment, Shengyang's submarine formation sent a warning, and there was a fierce battle of supercavitating torpedoes in the underwater water ahead.

Obviously, the blocking force of the Ocean Commune discovered the Shengyang Navy's ambush.

On the flagship Yahong, the commander of Shengyang, Shirata Nozomi, hesitated as he watched the murderous sea ahead from the bridge.

As a fleet commander from afar, her mission is to participate in the great war. But as the fleet commander, it is her duty to preserve the battleship.

At this time, in the captain's command room of Shengyang, circles of red warning patterns flashed continuously on the blue navigation chart, and all members of the ship were discussing these enemy attacks, "Should the anti-aircraft gun How many angles should be raised", "how much torpedo depth should be calibrated" and other topics.

But please note that these discussions of Sun Yang are all self-serving. It seems that it is very appropriate at this time, but in fact it has nothing to do with the upper and lower processes at hand. This is what the bureaucrats of Sunyang do when there is nothing they can do. Everyone in Shengyang is talking nonsense at this time, waiting for the order from the supreme commander.

[Under the same "powerless" situation, the atmosphere in the Chinese officialdom is: everyone keeps silent and is always ready to push away the inexplicable pot. 】

In such an atmosphere of nonsense, the commander of Shengyang, Bai Tianxi, hesitated again and again, and did not issue orders for a long time.

What ultimately forced Nozomi Shirata to decide was the attack of ballistic missiles launched from the Great Barrier Reef area.

Bai Tianxi thought that the enemy's main force was nearby and was about to close her, so she was about to evacuate!

Ever since, Shengyang encountered the Ocean Commune for the second time. Such a force that could determine the key to the battlefield directly withdrew from the battle sequence and took the route of protecting the ship.

In fact, Bai Tianxi's judgment cannot be wrong. Wei Keng, as the chief dispatcher of the sea battle, has indeed arranged enough reserve teams to guard against all directions.

[Sunyang people will be very courageous if they gamble for the benefits they see. But if you make a promise for others, once you judge that the price is too high, you will choose to "bow and apologize". 】

~

Wei Keng is sure that Sun Group is right, and he is also right about Dama Group.

From the perspective of the post-war period, when the Oceanic Commune was besieging the Java Group and preparing to ambush the Lu Song Group, the fleet commander of the Malaysian Group chose to wait at this critical moment to judge the battle situation.

Although this commander, whose ancestors did business in the Strait of Malacca, has qualifications from the Shenzhou Naval Academy and joined the circle of generals, in the commercial society of Malaysia, the rules of conduct often tend to be businessmen. This is like a tiger being a cat for a long time, then it really becomes a cat.

On the 40,000-ton battleship, the captain's room is full of calligraphy, paintings and antique displays. The commander of the Malaysia Group fleet insists on "the smallest price" and "the biggest gain." (In fact, the core of war is to win, to achieve the predetermined strategic goal in the predetermined time and space, and then consider the cost and gain.)

The Malaysian commander's judgment on the multiple red punctuated battle zones on the projected map is: In the current battle, victory is a miserable victory. And failure requires maintaining leverage.

Therefore, how not to be the one who pays the price in the tragic victory, or how to maintain the maximum capital in the failure, made him think hard.

So after traces of the Shenzhou side's underwater troops appeared in his direction, he ordered the troops to strictly guard the line of defense and decided to wait for a more suitable time.

At the beginning of the Java and Lu Song battles, he shrewdly judged who these battles were based on, and whether he would be tempted to take the bait.

As everyone knows, what Wei Keng deploys in front of the Malaysian Group is only an independent regiment of fifteen companies.

Right now, this independent regiment easily stopped this huge fleet from joining the battlefield.

~

Relatively speaking, the Luzon Group is too miserable. It has the enthusiasm for intervention, but its commander has no vigilance in naval warfare at all.

The entire fleet headed toward the southern waters recklessly, and with a large number of sonar locks along the way, it did not complete the frigate formation. After sailing out of the Banda Islands. It encountered the joint blocking of the navy from northern Australia, sea-based land missiles, and surface and underwater fleets.

This is when Lizhou handed over half of its land, sea, and air forces to Wei Keng's command, and Wei Keng chose the fleet to fight the hardest.

~

8:34 am.

One minute after encountering the missile warning, the naval generals of the Luzon Group had no time to react. Underwater torpedoes, under the translucent water, drew a white trace of air and drilled into the ships. bottom. Then there are air planes intervening in radar range to drop glide bombs, and surface sea-skimming missiles appearing on the horizon.

Within 20 minutes, the Luzon Group during the march was disabled, turning them into refugees and iron rafts burning at sea. The injured crew members jumped onto the lifeboat amidst the debris of the fire, staring blankly at the scene of wounded warships at sea, not knowing how to proceed next.

After this battle, it was impossible for the restorationist naval forces to reinforce the Javanese troops 400 kilometers away.

~

In the next forty-five minutes, the Java fleet was blocked by the heavy fleet from Lizhou, isolated and helpless.

During the bombardment at sea, the Java Fleet was crushed by the Lizhou Fleet. A large number of drones in the sky strangled the drones of the Java fleet. The Java drones were quickly exhausted, and the only forty-four anti-submarine fighters that were exhausted.

The fighting will of the Java fleet collapsed, and part of the fleet began to flee.

Lizhou dispatched destroyers to chase after them, and even reached the fifteen-kilometer close-range artillery engagement range at one point, dreaming back to the era of artillery battleships. The high-firing naval guns of the Lizhou destroyer aimed at the Java fleet, one after another, until the fleeing warships were beaten to raise the white flag.

~

while underwater,

The Marine United Front hooked up an encirclement spanning 500 kilometers for it. In this encirclement, that is, under the deep sea, supercavitating torpedoes are blocked underwater, and breaking through the encirclement will encounter hundreds of underwater missiles.

These "reef" militia groups of the Ocean Commune made it impossible for the Java fleet to advance or retreat. Dozens of warships in Java were stranded in the siege, and after fighting all the anti-submarine aircraft, they could only ask for help.

The Java Fleet Group's miserable request for help did not get the sympathy of the surrounding friendly forces, but was abused by the friendly forces as "impulsive and aggressive".

Because Lu Song's fleet was ambushed when it tried to join the battlefield, Sheng Yang announced that he had been severely injured in the process of turning around and leaving.

All kinds of unfavorable news, in the eyes of the timid Nanyang Allied Fleet officers: the waters in the northern part of Lizhou have become extremely dangerous, and they shouldn't have gone there in the first place. This is a strategic mistake. (If you order food, you have to throw it away. This is the oriental officialdom culture. You must try it.)

~

The Java Commander held on until the early morning of the third day, watching the Taibai star light up in the distance of the sea and sky, and the laser beam emitted from the sky.

Under the attack like a vast galaxy falling from the sky, the commander chanted with a lonely expression: "The journey of the sun and the moon, if you come out of it, the stars are brilliant, if you go out of it."

An hour later, the morning sun rose from the east, a smear of crimson rose from the sea level, and turned golden after leaving the sea.

Without being screened, you can sleep in at ease in the morning.
