Warship of Great Power

The Navy uses E-2 early warning aircraft. Except for the most advanced E-2D, all other early warning aircraft use mechanical scanning radars, and the radars used are also in the UHF band.

At this time, the Hawkeye 2000 early warning aircraft equipped in large quantities use APS-145 radars. This radar has a search distance of 500 kilometers and advanced data processing capabilities. It is a very good model.

Due to the working band problem, this early warning aircraft first discovered the stealth aircraft, but even so, the discovery distance is only 100 kilometers.

At this time, the warships on the flat deck have already released the first wave of aircraft, and the speed has dropped to more than ten knots. The nuclear reactor boiler is running at the highest power, but it still needs a certain amount of time to speed up to the moment when the next wave of aircraft can be released.

So now, what should we do?

Brian almost did not hesitate and immediately issued an order: "All fighters that have taken off, fly to the target immediately and shoot down the target!"

It is impossible to shoot down. Even if the radar of the super bug is powerful, it is impossible to easily find the stealth aircraft. They can only see the approximate location of the vague target under the guidance of the early warning aircraft, and they can't lock the target at all.

Radars and missiles can't be used. At this moment, they suddenly found that they seemed to have only machine guns left.

Even if they use machine guns, they have to shoot down the opponent!

A large number of fighter planes rushed to the airspace where the target was.

Then, Brian followed up with a second order: "Attention, the entire fleet, turn off all lights!"

This order is a bit confusing.

If it is a fighter plane in the air, in order to avoid exposing its location, it may turn off the navigation lights and become a ghost in the dark, but warships turn off the lights? Although the sea is large, there is also a risk of collision. Warships must turn on various lights to remind others and avoid collisions.

As for large warships with flat decks, they must turn on the lights. Even if there are various radars, lights are still the best guide.

But now, this order also makes sense: hide yourself.

Only by hiding can you not be discovered by the sneak attack target in the sky. Although the opponent is unlikely to drop bombs visually, it is still necessary to reduce the probability of being discovered.

If the other party turns on the radar, it will expose its precise position, and then be swarmed by its own aircraft. If the other party does not turn on the radar, it will need other methods. The bright lights on the sea are the best guide.

So, turn off the lights temporarily!

Although some captains do not understand this order, they still have to follow the order. As the lights go out, the sea is dark.

Brian looked at the night sky above his head and murmured: "God bless us, don't let us suffer any more losses!"

Suddenly, all kinds of excited calls came from the radio, all kinds of curses, and all kinds of shouting mixed together, making everyone excited.

The target has been found, and the next step is to attack!

There are traces of light in the sky, that is the machine gun firing! These bright lines intertwined and rushed to a target in the distance.

The target hid in the sky, but faced with the fleet that pounced on like locusts, it was outnumbered in the end.

A fireball bloomed in the sky.

"Kill it!"

"I shot it down!"

"No, it was me!"

There were voices vying for credit on the radio, but none of this mattered. What mattered was that the scary ghost-like thing had finally been shot down!

Brian breathed a sigh of relief.

"Only one?" Austin was a little curious.

"Yes, they should have two." Brian said, "But those people's fighting spirit is not high. As long as one is shot down, the other will flee in a hurry. Next, it's our turn to attack. Give the order..."

Before Brian finished speaking, suddenly, a panicked voice came from an Aegis warship.

"Two targets were found, falling from the sky!"

"We must blow it up immediately, and we can't let it explode!"

A moment later, flames rose from the deck of the Aegis warship, and the standard missiles had already jumped up, and they were going to blow up the target!

But the target was more cunning than they thought. Just before the standard missiles went up, two brilliant sparks bloomed in the sky, and the two cluster bombs had exploded!

At this moment, everyone's heart sank.

"All close-in weapons open fire, and we must shoot down every projectile that threatens us!" Brian knew that the most dangerous moment had arrived!

Fortunately, they were prepared, fortunately, they had prepared a plan, fortunately, there were not many planes left on the deck, and the fleet was dispersed.

At this moment, suddenly, a terrible vibration came, and Brian rushed out of the chair, his head hit the glass in front, and blood splattered.

Bang!

A terrible collision sounded.

An Aegis warship originally wanted to provide better cover for the flat-deck warship, but it drove right in front of the flat-deck warship, and the two warships collided!

At this time, Brian realized that he had made a big mistake. He actually forgot to turn on the navigation lights again. With so many warships, it was easy to collide with air defense in the dark.

Unfortunately, it was too late.

Even a 10,000-ton Aegis warship could not withstand the impact of a 100,000-ton flat-deck warship and was broken in half. Fortunately, it did not hit the vertical launch device, otherwise...

Countless people fell into the water and screamed, but they could not take care of them for the time being because those small projectiles had already fallen from the sky!

Most of the projectiles fell into the sea water, and only a few of them fell on the deck, but this time they were well prepared. The damage control personnel quickly stepped forward and put out the fire as soon as possible. In addition, there were few aircraft on the deck, so there was no chain reaction.

Countless dense arrays were constantly firing, and tongues of fire were sprayed out on the dark sea, which looked very spectacular.

Suddenly, sparks radiated from the bridge of an Aegis warship. These sparks were connected together, just like thunder and lightning.

Graphite bomb!

This thing is specifically used to destroy power grids and radars. When the radar antenna is hung with this thing, the antenna is finished. In the crackling sparks, this radar antenna is completely useless.

The radar antenna was broken, and the Aegis warship lost its function. Fortunately, there were many Aegis warships nearby, so it didn't matter if one was broken.

Because the density of the attack was not high, this attack seemed to be no threat. When all the interceptions were over, Brian breathed a sigh of relief.

The biggest loss was the sinking of an Aegis warship and the damage of another radar. The other warships were fine, especially those with flat decks, which were still intact.

So, there was no danger.

He looked down, the lights were turned on, and the entire fleet returned to normal again.

"Give the order to chase the escaping plane and shoot it down!"

"Oh, damn, what is that?" At this moment, Austin suddenly cursed.

A ball of fire suddenly appeared on the side of the nearby Aegis warship. What happened?

Was it attacked again?

Why didn't the radar respond? Why didn't the early warning aircraft warn?

Boom! The explosion came afterwards.

This seemed to be just the beginning. Flames burst out one after another on nearby warships. Suddenly, a ball of flame burst out next to the dense array, where there happened to be a large number of shells!

Boom! The next moment, a terrible explosion sounded.

In the previous interception, the dense array was mainly used. This thing has a fast firing rate and strong firepower, but it also means that it has weak sustainability and will soon use up all the shells.

In order to deal with the next attack, many warships are adding shells. This thing cannot be loaded automatically, and people have to manually roll the ammunition belt into the drum.

Once here, a fire was immediately triggered, which quickly spread to nearby naval guns!

Boom!

There was another explosion, and a ball of flame exploded next to the helicopter hangar of a warship. The flames penetrated the helicopter hangar and then jumped in. Soon, smoke and dust rolled up on the warship.

It was not an anti-ship missile because the power was too small, but at the same time, it also meant that they were very small and difficult to be discovered by early warning aircraft and Aegis systems. Moreover, just now, all radars were facing the sky, ignoring the sea surface.

This is a drone, a large number of drones attacking!

In the sky, Fatih, who was returning, was in a mixed mood.

Mahmoud did not come back, and he was targeted before he reached the attack position. As for the reason... it should be that the stealth coating repaired by the pot bottom ash did not work, and he was targeted by the opponent.

However, Fatih had no time to remember his comrades. He had to go up, he had to throw bombs, and he had to attack the enemy!

Fortunately, he successfully threw the bomb. Regardless of whether it would continue to work, he completed the task anyway! Because his task was only the first wave!

The drones in the low altitude are the second wave of attack force. These drones are not powerful, but there are many of them! When these planes are overwhelming, the opponent will be unable to resist!

The dense array has run out of ammunition, and the next step is to continue to let the standard missiles take off. Using standard missiles to attack drones is just like using anti-aircraft guns to hit mosquitoes. However, there is no way. You can't let these drones attack them and create threats for them, right?

When I thought of this, the sound of the warning receiver suddenly came from the headset.

There are missiles flying towards him!

Fatih immediately operated the fighter to dive, then pulled up, successfully avoiding the infrared-guided air-to-air missiles, but later, missiles continued to fly over one after another. After dodging several missiles in a row, he was exhausted and finally failed to dodge the next one.

A ball of fire exploded in the sky.

"Report, the second plane was shot down!"

After getting this news, Brian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Both stealth aircraft were shot down, and the remaining attacks...

They were just some insignificant drones! Even if they fell on their warships, they would only cause fires. Therefore, the colonel's tactics were also very simple. He wanted to replicate the successful experience last time and added drones.

Hum, can this thing fight?

"Concentrate firepower and shoot down all these drones!"

This round of air defense operations lasted for more than 20 minutes. The rising smoke and burning flames all told of the fierceness of the battle.

"All drones have been shot down. Only five of our warships were injured, but the fire was under control."

Last time, we were caught off guard and failed to react correctly in time, so we paid a heavy price. This time... the other party is no better!

Brian's face was full of satisfaction.

"Report, should the fighter planes we sent out fly to the land or return to our fleet? Please give instructions!"

Brian thought briefly: "The other side only has two stealth aircraft, all of which have been shot down by us, so there is no need to worry about being attacked now. Of course, we have to land on our aircraft carrier. We are the navy, not the air force."

So, the aircraft carrier switched to the mode of recovering carrier-based aircraft. One by one, the fighter planes that had been in the air for more than half an hour returned to the base, and the fleet became busy again.

The Hawkeye early warning aircraft, which had been tossing for half a day, also planned to return to the base. When the radar officer took a last look at the radar screen, he suddenly became terrified.

"A large number of aircraft groups were found on the sea, flying towards us!"

The colonel not only had stealth aircraft, but also a large number of non-stealth aircraft! These aircraft finally flew over and planned to launch a fatal attack!

At this time, the warships on the flat deck were recovering carrier-based aircraft. The deck was very busy. Some of the recovered carrier-based aircraft were directly placed in the take-off area at the bow, occupying the entire area. The two catapults on the angled deck could be used, but they could not be used during the recovery phase because of serious interference with take-off and landing.

For a moment, Brian was a little panicked.

"Immediately order the aircraft that are ready to land to intercept in front!"

"Our fleet will immediately form an air defense formation!"

There are still planes in the sky that have not landed. Those planes can fly over to intercept!

"Those planes are running low on fuel. If they fly over, they may not be able to come back." Austin said.

"We have to go even if we can't come back! We can't let our formation get into trouble. Where are our Aegis warships?"

"Just now, when we intercepted, we launched a large number of air defense missiles. Currently, the remaining missiles in the launch device are anti-missile interceptors..."

Although they have a powerful fleet, now is their weakest time!

A large number of aircraft flew over. Some of them were intercepted by carrier-based aircraft, and some broke through the defense network of carrier-based aircraft, and then turned to ultra-low-altitude attacks. If it were normal, the powerful formation here would not be afraid at all, but now, they have no missiles. There are only interceptor missiles for anti-missile in their launch silos. It is very inconvenient to use such missiles to intercept ultra-low-altitude targets.

Some fighters successfully broke through and began to launch anti-ship missiles. The old Exocet missiles began to fly on the sea. Some aircraft did not even have anti-ship missiles and flew over the head of the target to drop bombs.

One by one, the naval guns began to fire and kept firing at the sky. Some planes were blown up and turned into fireballs and fell. Some planes continued to fly forward, dropped bombs and successfully returned.

The commanders on the warships issued various orders, and from time to time they tried to avoid them by turning the rudder.

Some warships began to be hit.

Boom, boom!

That night, the Mediterranean was filled with smoke. That night, I don’t know how many people will never see the sun the next day!

East.

"Boss Qin, something big happened in the Mediterranean!"

"Well, how big is it? Can it break the sky?"

"Very big, this colonel is really fierce!" Salman said excitedly: "He actually played three rounds of attacks, and his tactics successfully broke through the defense, but I don't think he can think of this way."

"The colonel has been holding back for a long time, so it is normal to hold back a big move." Qin Tao said.

"Yes, this big move is simply breaking the sky. Now, the colonel has no way out. The three gangsters have announced that they will unite to fight him together, and some other countries are also planning to take action. Last time, they could deny it, but this time they can't deny it."

The fighter planes that crashed into the sea, the bombs dropped, and the pilots rescued from the sea are all telling their identities and origins.

Of course, the colonel is also a hero. He admitted it this time. You all come to fight me together, so why don't you let me fight back?

"Fortunately, we have put aside our relationship and come to the East. I just don't know how it will end next." Salman was a little worried.

"They can fight however they want. It has nothing to do with us anyway. Our exercise is already on the agenda. Everyone, don't stay here. Next, let's go to the Navy's command center to watch the exercise together. How about that?"

"Okay."

From Mingzhou to the east, you can reach Zhoushan, which is the headquarters of the Eastern Fleet. This exercise was also planned by the Eastern Fleet.

In the past, to organize an exercise of this level, the three fleets needed to unite and transfer warships to each other to complete the task. Now, the Eastern Fleet can support it by itself!

After all, the power they have is already very strong. If they are pulled out alone, they will not be weaker than any country except the United States. This exercise is also hosted by this fleet.

However, as the most important exercise, in addition to the local area, of course, many leaders in the capital will also observe it. Wu Shengli is sitting here with a very serious expression. It doesn't look like an exercise, but like a real war.

The entire fleet command hall was renovated last year. On the front wall is a full-length LCD screen that is large enough to display the situation in the entire Western Pacific. Below are several rows of control panels, and there are people watching on each panel. It looks just like the command hall of a space launch.

“For this exercise, we launched five more satellites.” Seeing everyone coming in, Wu Shengli showed a smile on his face: “Considering the high risk at sea, we will observe here. With so many satellites supporting us, we can be immersive.”
