Me, The Station Reporter

Because the fleets of both sides are too close, only more than 20 nautical miles away, at such a close distance, based on the speed of the missile, it can hit the target very quickly, and it is not easy to intercept at all.

It can be seen that although the first wave of missiles fired by the Universal Fleet did not sink any warships, the large-scale missiles still caused great damage to the Fifth Fleet.

Although they intercepted a large number of missiles, many warships were still hit. Their hulls were full of scars, some penetrated the deck, and some were hit in the command room.

Like the most serious warship, a big hole was blown out of the ship, and no seawater poured into it. Even the huge hull was tilting, and it had lost its balance, as if it was about to sink.

In particular, the USS Ford nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the Fifth Fleet became a key target. Several carrier-based aircraft parked on the deck were hit by missiles before they could take off, and they were immediately turned into useless iron lumps.

Also, the command ship Warrior of the Fifth Fleet was also hit. The explosion of the missile caused the warship to shake violently.

"Shet..."

"God…"

In the combat command room of the Warrior, Willamette and Davis climbed up from the ground unsteadily. They listened to the explosions that kept ringing in their ears and cursed incessantly.

Both of them knew that due to the previous underestimation of the enemy, the Fifth Fleet had lost the opportunity and was covered by the opponent's missiles in such a short distance, making it difficult to make an effective counterattack.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Suddenly, the electronic equipment of each warship in the Fifth Fleet sounded an alarm.

Radar monitoring equipment, target identification equipment, target tracking equipment, etc. are all beeping non-stop, and various displays seem to have lost their signal sources and can no longer be used normally.

"What's going on?" Williamte yelled, and he felt something was wrong.

"Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, a large number of electromagnetic interference signals have appeared near the fleet. The Universal Fleet has launched electromagnetic missiles at us. Some electronic equipment has malfunctioned..." A Midland Navy lieutenant commander looked ashen, as if the end was coming.

What time is it now? Both sides have started fighting, and the Universal Fleet has launched a large number of missiles at them. If the target identification and target tracking system is lost, it will definitely be a devastating disaster.

Without these two systems, the Fifth Fleet's missiles would become headless flies, unable to accurately hit enemy warships or intercept enemy missiles.

Electronic warfare is one of the required courses for the United Navy, but now they have been taught a lesson by the Universal Fleet.

"You idiots, if you haven't activated our anti-electromagnetic interference equipment yet, do you want to be blown to ashes by the opponent's missiles?" William was so angry that he wanted to kill the idiot in front of him with a shot.

At this moment, Williamt had realized the seriousness of the matter,

Electronic warfare plays an extremely important role in modern warfare. Once electronic equipment is interfered with, the combat effectiveness of even the most advanced weapons and equipment will be greatly reduced.

Willamt could not imagine that if the electronic equipment could not be used properly, it would be impossible to intercept the opponent's missiles.

As a result, all the ships of the Fifth Fleet have become living targets and will be sunk one by one.

Immediately afterwards, Williamte shouted again: "Quickly, give me a full counterattack. All the fighter planes that can take off will take off, and all kinds of air defense firepower facilities will intercept the opponent's missiles with all their strength..."

In fact, there was no need for William's order. The experienced naval officers and soldiers of the United Navy had already reacted and adopted the best response measures.

At an altitude of several thousand meters away from the Fifth Fleet, the second wave of ship-to-ship missiles launched by the Universal Fleet has arrived. Their speed is extremely fast, making it difficult for people to react.

Suddenly, the anti-electronic jamming equipment of the Fifth Fleet also began to work. At the same time, dozens of guided missiles were launched into the sky on each warship, hoping to intercept the missiles above.

However, because the distance between the two sides was too close, at such a short distance and at the speed of the missile, there was no time to react and intercept.

Before the Fifth Fleet's interceptor missiles could accelerate at full speed, the Universal Fleet's missiles passed through them and headed towards the warships that had already locked onto their targets.

"God..." Davis, the captain of the Warrior, screamed, with large beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.

In his sight, he could clearly see three missiles coming directly towards the Warrior.

"Shet..." William's face turned pale, and he hurriedly shouted with the communicator: "Quick, use short-range anti-aircraft firepower to intercept these missiles..."

Although William was a little panicked, he was not dizzy.

In addition to being equipped with long-range guided missiles, each warship of the Fifth Fleet also has a final protective fire network, which is a variety of firepower facilities composed of metal storms, such as machine guns, multi-barreled heavy machine guns, etc.

Under the dense metal storm, the Fifth Fleet can still effectively intercept enemy missiles that guided missiles cannot stop.

clatter! clatter! clatter!

In an instant, intensive cannon fire and the roar of machine guns rang out, and the sky above the Fifth Fleet was filled with countless sparks, which were a metal storm net composed of machine gun shells and heavy machine gun bullets.

boom!

In the sky, more than a dozen missiles were swept by the metal storm, and they exploded directly in the sky.

Although the Fifth Fleet's short-range anti-aircraft firepower is very fierce, it still cannot intercept all missiles.

As a steady stream of shocking explosions sounded, the warships of the Fifth Fleet were hit by missiles one after another.

Looking from top to bottom, the first warship to be sunk was the USS Russell, a destroyer with a load of 8,400 tons.

It can be seen that this huge destroyer was engulfed in flames, and the explosions on its hull continued.

After an earth-shattering explosion, the destroyer Russell broke into two pieces and slowly sank into the deep sea.

As for the naval officers and soldiers on this warship, only a few survived.

"Farke, how is this possible? How could the Russell be sunk?" Williamt's eyes were bloodshot, and he seemed to be going crazy.

The USS Russell is an upgraded and improved version of the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. It is equipped with the Aegis combat system. It is an Aegis destroyer!

However, how could such an advanced Aegis destroyer be sunk by two missiles?

"Lieutenant General William, the Russell was penetrated by the ammunition depot, which caused a chain reaction, so it sank..." Davis saw clearly that the Russell was blown into two pieces by his own missile. .

"Fight back, fight back with all your strength..." Williamt roared angrily, and he was so angry that he even threw away the military cap on his head.

An Aegis destroyer was sunk and broken into two pieces. What a huge loss...

This is the first time since the World War that the United Navy has sunk such a large warship.

It can be predicted that after this naval battle, William will become a joke among the world's naval admirals. Promotion and salary increase have become a luxury. It would be great if he is not dismissed!
