I built an armada

Southern high seas, 052B main control room.

The deputy captain said: "Captain, the speed has been increased to 34 knots! According to the time, the radar on the other side will be turned on again!"

"Very good." Jiang Shengrong nodded, "We also need to be prepared."

Although the 052B's radar is always on, and based on the location of the opponent's ambush, Jiang Shengrong also knows that the opponent is only 70 kilometers away from his own warship.

Although the 70-kilometer distance is smaller than the 95-kilometer active detection range of the radar on the 052B, there is a clear iteration gap between the 052B and 052C radars.

When the enemy ship is cruising silently, the active detection range of the 052C radar is 160 kilometers, and it needs to approach 95 kilometers to detect the enemy ship. The 052B is naturally much worse.

The radar active detection program cannot detect enemy ships, and naturally cannot lock on enemy ships. If it cannot be locked, it will naturally be impossible to launch the missile.

But Jiang Shengrong was not in a hurry. According to the radar detection situation on the other side, which was detected every half an hour, the next time it would be activated would only take a minute or two.

Since the 052C has turned on silent cruise and there are enemy ships in the middle, the radio contact is not reliable, which can easily expose the ambushed 052C.

Both parties can only make decisions based on the originally scheduled time.

Just as Jiang Shengrong was thinking, he heard the radar monitor shouting excitedly.

"Captain, the enemy ship has appeared!"

Jiang Shengrong quickly went to the radar display and took a look. Sure enough, the two small red dots representing the Murasame and Harusame were flashing.

"Beautiful! After waiting for so long, it finally shows up!"

Jiang Shengrong said excitedly.

Immediately, he turned towards the deputy captain.

"Open the ship-wide channel."

"yes!"

Holding the communicator, Jiang Shengrong took a deep breath and said seriously.

"Comrades, there are two enemy ships ambushing us on the left and right at a distance of 68 or 72 kilometers in front of us! I can tell you clearly that they are Haizi warships! Moreover, they have 90% There is a chance that they will attack our ship!"

"According to the commander's instructions, our ship's mission is to successfully deliver four warships to the Tesha tribe. But now Haizi's warships are trying to destroy our mission."

"Now that we are exposed to enemy ships, we are likely to be hit hard!"

After a pause, Jiang Shengrong shouted: "Comrades, please tell me, what should we do?"

"Captain, we will fight them!"

someone shouted from the main control room.

Then more and more people shouted.

"Captain, we will fight them!"

"captain……"

Shouts echoed over 052B.

"Very good! None of our 052Bs are afraid of death!" Jiang Shengrong said loudly: "I know why Captain Zhou and the others have been able to accomplish extraordinary feats repeatedly. They have won two first-class collective merits this year! Why? Because they dare Dare to fight and be brave without fear of death!"

"Now, the great achievement is before us! The risk is very high, and we may even sacrifice ourselves."

"But I want to tell you something. The country and the people will not forget us. Your families and your ancestors will be proud of you!"

At this moment, a radar warning sounded in the main control room.

Jiang Shengrong knew that 052B was locked by the fire control radar without even needing to be reminded by the radar monitor.

This is the signal before the opponent fires!

When the conversation changed, Jiang Shengrong said in a hasty tone: "Comrades, the credit has been delivered to us. We are all on level one combat readiness!"

"yes--"

Putting down the communicator, Jiang Shengrong said with a serious face: "Enter combat status immediately!"

"Yes, Captain!"

The next second, the radar operator shouted.

"Reporting to captain, the radar has detected that the enemy ship launched 8 anti-ship missiles 66 kilometers away! The speed is Mach 1.5! It is expected to hit our ship in 129 seconds. Captain, please give instructions!"

"Report to Captain, the YJ-901 anti-ship missile system fire control radar has locked on the enemy ship, and the Haihongqi-901 air defense missile radar has locked on the missile. Captain, please give instructions!"

"finally come!"

Jiang Shengrong's expression was extremely solemn.

"Open fire immediately, a salvo of 16 anti-ship missiles! A salvo of 16 anti-aircraft missiles!"

Jiang Shengrong didn't dare to make excuses, so he fired a volley.

"Yes, Captain!"

The active detection range of the 052B radar is 95 kilometers, and the missile attack range is also exactly 95 kilometers. This means that the moment the missile takes off from the enemy ship, it enters the interceptable range.

With an interception distance of 66 kilometers, the anti-aircraft missile can intercept more times.

In the last confrontation with the Murasame, faced with four anti-ship missiles, 052B launched a total of 16 anti-aircraft missiles, 4 intercepted 1, and all interceptions were successful.

Facing 8 anti-ship missiles this time, 16 vs 8, two anti-aircraft missiles intercepted one. Jiang Shengrong was not sure whether he could stop them all at once.

But fortunately, the distance is far enough and the number of interceptions is enough, the probability of all interceptions is still very high.

Of course, it is unrealistic to successfully intercept all the Murasame's anti-ship missiles by relying solely on the air defense missiles on the 052B. Unless 1vs1 accurate interception can be achieved, current technology cannot do this.

What's more, there are four enemy warships in total. Although they have controlled the distance and faced two warships, the risk is still very high. This is what Jiang Shengrong said before, be prepared to sacrifice.

The other party has already taken action, so it’s time for Lao Zhou and the others to do the same.

While Jiang Shengrong was thinking, there were bursts of harsh whistling sounds coming from outside the deck.

"Reporting to Captain, 16 anti-ship missiles have been launched! The second deployment will take five seconds! It is expected to hit the target in 121 seconds!"

"Reporting to the captain, 16 anti-aircraft missiles have been launched. The first collision is expected to occur in 72 seconds. The interception location is 29 kilometers away from our ship! The second interception will begin in 77 seconds. At this time, the missile is 26.45 kilometers away from our ship. !”

"Captain, please give me instructions!"

The Haihongqi-901 air defense missile system only needs 5 seconds of reaction time from radar locking to missile launch! The shorter the time, the larger the survivable space!

121 seconds?

Jiang Shengrong smiled coldly in his heart.

The enemy needs 129 seconds, deducting five seconds of reaction time. We are also the last to arrive but we are the first to arrive!

"Always pay attention to the movement of another enemy ship!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Missile launches require radar guidance. If the second warship also fires at this time, it will only force some of the anti-aircraft missiles to self-destruct in mid-air, and then immediately free up enough targets to lock the second warship's anti-ship missiles.

"Notify Captain Zhou immediately and ask them to act quickly!"

"Yes! Captain!"

On the other side, on the high seas 72 kilometers away from the Murasame, 052C was moving forward at full speed.

In the main control room, Cao Youren said: "Lao Zhou, according to the electronic sea map, we are still 72 kilometers away from the target!"

Without turning on the radar, the coordinates can only be roughly determined based on the electronic sea map and speed.

Zhou Qinglei asked back: "How long will it take?"

"It's 5:10 in 1 minute and 30 seconds!"

"keep going!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Seeing that the time was coming, Zhou Qinglei couldn't help but take a deep breath.

The pressure of facing one warship is different from facing four warships at the same time.

Cao Youren on the side was so anxious that his heart was stuck in his throat.

"It's almost done." After looking at the time, Zhou Qinglei said to the deputy captain, "Open the ship-wide channel."

"Yes, Captain!"

Then, he picked up the communicator and said in a deep voice.

"Comrades, at the beginning of the year, we sank the Mekong on the high seas 200 kilometers away! We were commanding 052B at the time! On the 2nd of last month, we sank the Congyun on the high seas 2,000 kilometers away. , this was the 052C we were commanding at the time!”

"Now, it's this critical moment again!"

"The stability of the country needs us! The peace of the people needs us!"

"Now." Zhou Qinglei pointed forward and said, "There are four enemy ships right in front of us!"

"Is that an enemy warship? No! I can tell you clearly that it is a first-class meritorious service!"

Hearing these words, Cao Youren felt numb.

Do you regard four modern naval ships as four first-class warships? are you crazy!

"Commander Su once told me before that if you capture an enemy ship, even if you die, you will be worthy of honoring your ancestors! Commander Su also told me that if you capture an enemy ship, you will be worthy of death, and you will also go to the ancestral temple to eat incense sticks during the Qingming Festival. .”

"But I don't want any of this!"

Zhou Qinglei continued.

"What do we want? We want our enemies to eat incense sticks from the Qingming Festival! What do we want? When we worship our ancestors during the Qingming Festival, even our parents let us be the first to enter the ancestral temple!"

"What do we want? We want the genealogy to be a separate page, we want our ancestors to be proud of us, and we want our descendants to be proud of us!"

"To borrow a sentence from Chief Xu, history will remember you. Each of you is extremely glorious!"

"2vs4, we will be honored even if we die!"

In an instant, more than three hundred people in 052C shouted in unison.

"Destroy the enemy ship and get first-class credit!"

"Destroy the enemy ship and get first-class credit!"

At this moment, the morale of everyone present reached its peak.

Cao Youren stared blankly at this scene. Not only were the 295 people on the original 052C shouting, but even the people he brought here to study were also shouting in unison.

"The entire ship has entered level one combat readiness!"

"yes--"

The atmosphere had reached this point, and Cao Youren knew that his persuasion was useless.

"Turn on the radar!" Zhou Qinglei shouted.

"Report Captain, the radar has been turned on!"

the radar monitor shouted hastily.

In just a few seconds, all coordinates within 160 kilometers appeared on the radar display.

"Report Captain, the radar has detected that an enemy ship 70 kilometers away has opened fire! The missile is 71 kilometers away from our ship, target 052B! Speed ​​1.5 Mach! Number, 8! It is expected to hit in 127 seconds! Please give instructions, Captain!"

Upon hearing this, Cao Youren's heart trembled suddenly.

Haizi is really so crazy! No warning was given and the fight just started? What about the Blue Star sea area rules that were agreed upon?

The last hope in his heart disappeared.

The shackles in my heart were torn open at this moment.

From now on, he realized something very important. If you encounter the sea alone, especially on the high seas, you must be ready for battle at any time, and you can no longer have any illusions!

The situation in the Dongzhou Sea can no longer return to the previous state of mutual restraint.

"Start the automatic radar locking program! Target, two warships! 24 missiles, salvo!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Zhou Qinglei realized this problem after being told by Su Dingping last time.

Our warships are very advanced. There is no need to light up all the missiles on a single warship at once. That would be too wasteful and not conducive to long-term operations.

There are only 72 YJ-101A anti-ship missiles on the 052C. If they are fired in salvo every time, the last warship will only look at the ship and sigh. Unless you close the distance and attack with torpedoes.

And judging from the previous situation, these two warships are not the most powerful among the four warships, so it is just right for the two warships to share 24 YJ-101A anti-ship missiles.

"Report to captain, the radar lock is completed!"

"Reporting to captain, 052B 136 kilometers away launched 16 missiles in total. The target is not yet certain! Computer simulation ballistics show that it is most likely the warship to the west."

Zhou Qinglei said immediately: "Adjust the combat deployment and focus on attacking the warship in the east. We must not let them join the battle!"

"Report to Captain, the phased array radar has been automatically adjusted!"

The radar monitor continued to shout without even taking a breath: "Report to the captain, the missile is launched!"

"Reporting to the captain, 15 missiles are flying towards the warship to the east, 73 kilometers away, and are expected to hit the target in 113 seconds!"

"Reporting to the captain, nine missiles are flying towards the warship to the west, 70 kilometers away, and are expected to hit the target in 108 seconds!"

Along with the whistling sound coming from the deck, Zhou Qinglei's expression became more and more serious.

Through the porthole, he watched 24 missiles dragging long tongues of flame and carrying ear-piercing sonic booms, tearing through the darkness and disappearing into the end of the night sky.

At the same time, the main control room of the Harusame was 10 kilometers away from the Murasame.

Captain Katsumura Yotamasa stared at the radar display with a serious face.

He clearly saw that an enemy ship was approaching directly 72 kilometers away from the warship.

Speed ​​34 knots!

"That's it!"

Katsumura Yota thought of the mysterious warship he encountered when he met the Shanhua on the high seas half a year ago.

Now, the other party showed up again.

This warship was warned by Inoshita Wada to sink it at all costs!

Even Murakami Hayaki gave this death order.

"After half a year, it finally showed up!"

There is too little data about 052B, and Katsumura Yota can only judge based on the opponent's speed.

The speed of 34 knots is still very impressive, and ordinary warships can only reach 32 knots at most.

So he realized it as soon as 052B showed up.

"Aosuke-kun, your enemy is here." Katsumura Yota glanced at the Murasame in the distance and thought to himself.

Immediately, he shouted: "Notify the Murasame immediately that the target has appeared, and all other targets will be considered temporarily!"

"Yes! Captain!"

The vice captain had just ordered the correspondent to contact the Murasame when he heard the correspondent shouting.

"Report to Captain, Captain Kitahara Sosuke of the Murasame has received news, fire in five minutes!"

five minutes?

Are you trying to trick the enemy into getting closer?

We are now less than 71 kilometers away. What if the enemy discovers us and dares not move forward?

Katsumura Yota did not think in the direction of Kitahara Sosuke wanting to take revenge alone.

"Captain, wait a minute." The vice-captain said, "After all, the other side doesn't know what will happen to us! Maybe they still want to see if something goes wrong before communicating?"

Katsumura Yota thought about it and thought it made sense.

When we meet on the high seas, how can we take action as soon as we get there?

The rules before a fight are to test and warn each other, and then both sides get into a position to attack each other, until they have no choice but to take action.

The Mighty As Eagle Tribe also followed this process.

This is a rule set by the Blue Star Alliance.

If they really started to fight each other when they met, wouldn't there be chaos on the high seas in the future?

"The best thing for us is that the other side sticks to the rules. They will never think that we are ready to break the rules." Katsumura Yota said with a smile: "Get closer, and they will have no way to escape even if they want to!"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he saw flames shooting into the sky on the Murasame not far away.

Before the sonic boom of the missile could be heard, the light of fire came into view.

He knew very well that the tongues of fire that shot up into the sky and disappeared into the darkness were anti-ship missiles.

idiot?

What is Kitahara Sosuke doing?

Didn’t we say we would start in five minutes?

The radar monitor's voice suddenly sounded.

"Reporting to the captain, the Murasame launched 8 anti-ship missiles, targeting the enemy ship in front! The two ships are 66 kilometers apart and are expected to hit the target in 129 seconds! The enemy ship is 70 kilometers away from our ship! Captain, please give instructions!"

Katsumura Yota opened his mouth, but no words came out.

He still hadn't figured out why Kitahara Sosuke told him to do it in five minutes, but he did it only twenty seconds later.

idiot! Are you plotting against your own people?

You are crazy to want revenge!

"Captain, what should we do? Do we want to take action?" the deputy captain asked.

"That's it, just wait five minutes if you don't look up and look down. Otherwise, we won't snatch you away. Kitahara Sosuke-kun is chasing me every day with a samurai sword."

As soon as Katsumura Yota finished speaking, he heard the radar monitor shouting.

"Report Captain, the enemy ship opened fire, a total of 16 anti-ship missiles, speed Mach 1.6. It is expected to hit the Murasame in 121 seconds! Please give instructions, Captain!"

"Report to Captain, the enemy ship launched another 16 anti-aircraft missiles at a speed of Mach 1.2..."

Listening to the report from his subordinates, Katsumura Yota was heartbroken.

The counterattack from the opposite side is also very fierce!

The one-time salvo of 16 anti-ship missiles and 16 anti-aircraft missiles still shocked him.

A salvo of 16 anti-aircraft missiles was fired. He knew it the last time they made contact.

I didn’t expect that anti-ship missiles could do this!

The Murasame and Harusame fired missile salvos, but they could only fire ten rounds at a time! Eight Murasame-class guide ships, the last four have been improved and can fire 14 salvos! But compared with the warships opposite, it was still a bit inferior.

The only ones who can stand on an equal footing with the opponent are those few King Kong-class guide ships.

The flagship Yamagiri fired only 14 salvos.

It seems that this warship has made quite a breakthrough in the air defense missile system and anti-ship missile system!

A thought flashed in Katsumura Yota's mind.

16 Mach 1.6 anti-ship missiles, he felt that the Murasame might not be able to stop them all!

The risk is very high!

"We can't control it anymore, take action immediately! Prepare to support the Murasame!"

Yota Katsumura's words still echoed in his ears, and the radar warning sound suddenly echoed in the main control room.

Almost at the same time, the radar monitor said anxiously.

"Report to captain, a mysterious enemy ship was found 73 kilometers behind our ship!"

What? Why is there another enemy ship behind?

Didn't the radar display have only one target before?

Before Katsumura Yota could figure it out, the radar monitor said angrily.

"Report Captain, our ship is locked by missiles!"

"Report to Captain, the radar detected that an enemy ship 73 kilometers away from our ship launched a missile! The number, 1, no, three, that's not right..."

Halfway through his words, the radar monitor was confused.

"Captain..., the enemy ship launched a total of 24 anti-ship missiles! The speed is Mach 1.9! According to the radar display, a total of 15 missiles are targeting us and are expected to arrive in 113 seconds!

"In addition, there are 9 missiles locked on the Murasame, which are expected to arrive in 108 seconds! Please... please give instructions, captain!"

This data was so shocking that the radar monitor’s voice trembled a little when he spoke.

The salvo capability of one warship has exceeded that of two warships combined!

You know, this is a Murasame-level guide!

It doesn't take eight Murasame-class ships, even six ships can go sideways in the Dongzhou waters.

The newly emerged warships actually directly crushed two warships in the field of anti-ship missiles.

Not only are there a lot of them, but they’re so fast!

If you work harder, you can enter the Mach 2 realm! Is this still a sea-based anti-ship missile? It’s almost time to catch up with land-based anti-ship missiles!

The harsh radar warning sound echoed in Katsumura Yota's ears.

His whole body was numb, and his mind suddenly went blank.

This ambush was actually counter-ambushed!

how so?

He couldn't figure it out.

"Captain, give the order!" the deputy captain shouted.

Yota Katsumura was shocked and said quickly: "Quick, intercept! Intercept the missiles coming towards us first!"

Just now he wanted to help Murasame, but now it seems that he cannot protect himself.

"Report to captain, the air defense missile system is activated, the radar has locked 7 targets, and is expected to launch in 8 seconds!"

Katsumura Yo was too anxious: "8 seconds! The enemy missiles have flown several kilometers, why does it take so long!"

The deputy captain looked helpless. There was nothing he could do about the technical problem.

At this moment, every second was so painful for Katsumura Yota.

Suddenly, there were whistling sounds in his ears, and he knew that anti-aircraft missiles were launched.

"Reporting to captain, 10 anti-aircraft missiles have been launched at a speed of Mach 1.1! The missiles are 67.8 kilometers away from our ship. The first collision is expected to occur in 66.5 seconds. The interception location is 24.9 kilometers away from our ship!"

"Reporting to Captain, the second interception will take place in 74.5 seconds. At this time, the anti-ship missile is 19.7 kilometers away from our ship! The second collision will occur in 19 seconds, and the interception location will be 7 kilometers away from our ship!"

7 km?

Katsumura Yota's brows jumped sharply.

At this distance, the third anti-aircraft missile interception could no longer keep up.

From the radar locking to the launch of the missile, the reaction time is 8 seconds, and the anti-ship missile is only 1.8 kilometers away from the Chunyu!

There is no way to defend against anti-aircraft missiles!

It seems that after two times, only the anti-aircraft main gun and close-in defense system can be activated.

Thinking of this, Katsumura Yota cursed.

"Baga! Why is this warship so scary! It shouldn't be like this!"
