Chapter 1030 Battle! Kunlun VS Iowa 1!
Fast! Too fast! It's unresisting and unable to react. I don't know how to avoid it and suddenly attacked and came!
Take off from the Ocean Fleet aircraft carrier, and rush into a big circle to the end. It traveled 700 kilometers long and finally, the belated "Sky Eagle" attack aircraft group was a trick to death with one move!
Within more than 20 kilometers, airborne radar provided pre-guiding, more than a dozen light subsonic anti-ship missiles launched in one breath took the lead in attacking. When they flew to the middle, the fighter jets behind accelerated to keep up. It was completely the upgraded version of the trick that the Americans used to play, which was faster, more hidden, and more crazy!
The Americans have no major killer that can counter missiles or artillery shells. Their radars rely on their own slow scanning alone to scan the low efficiency and will not play much role at all without determining the direction of the incoming target.
Before they could find any abnormal situation, missiles and fighter planes arrived one after another!
One subsonic anti-ship missile that is enough to kill the destroyer and severely damage the cruiser, with the assistance of the high-altitude airborne radar, locks the simple flight deck of the huge "Essex" aircraft carrier without any obstacles and plunges into it!
The semi-armor-piercing tandem warhead easily penetrated the 1.5-inch protective deck, tearing a hole about one meter in diameter, drilling deep into the lower layer, and then exploding violently!
The huge amount of charges erupting forward is even more terrifying than the battleship's 406mm high-explosive bomb, erupting in a fan-shaped shape! In an instant, the expanded air is heated and the reverse impact is impacted, increasing the crack to about three meters!
But the more important thing is forward damage! Many partition steel plates such as the front and sides are squeezed and crushed, and then they are pushed and rushed along the cavity passage in all directions!
The warhead shell of more than a thousand pieces was driven by high-speed jets of thousands of meters in a second, making countless transparent holes in the thin steel plates wherever they passed. It ran from the surface to the nearly bottom hangar, scattering everywhere!
Almost made a transparent hole in the warship from the bottom!
The blazing air current that expanded by thousands of times, the shock wave formed expanded wildly, and the distance it rushed out in an instant could reach dozens of meters. The secondary damage caused by overpressure and the solid compartment steel plate echoes. It even killed everyone inside!
Just one round can form a damage area with a diameter of at least ten meters or even larger in the interior of the aircraft carrier! If a cruiser is able to directly bombard the two sides of the ship's side and the bottom cabin, it will be hard to say what the consequences will be!
The recoil flame caused by the first hit has just risen to the height of the bridge, and the second hit is accurate!
The missiles bombed in from the ship island rushed out of the oblique storm, blowing a nearby fighter plane that was refueling continuously, smashing the two fighter planes in the distance to smash the oil. The oil sprayed all over the ground, and then it caused a raging fire.
But this was all in the middle of the milliseconds in the early stage of the explosion. First, there was a terrifying hole, which slammed out countless pieces from the right side of the ship's side towards the water surface! In the cabin at the foundation of the interior, dozens of soldiers and officers screamed before they could make it. They were torn into pieces by the explosion air waves!
Major General Mitchell watched countless pieces of corpse splattered into the air, and the strong blood was poured on the bulletproof glass of the command room, and then it was smoked and steamed by the heat waves!
This is just the beginning!
The crazy attack method is to give the enemy no reaction time at all!
To deal with light armored targets like aircraft carriers, there is no need to use heavy bombs, so each attack aircraft carries air-launched KC-3 anti-ship missiles, with up to four. According to the optimal combat guidelines, after entering the combat state, they must pour out the ammunition they carry as much as possible in the shortest time. Therefore, in high altitude, two consecutive rounds will be released!
For the target being attacked, that is disaster!
The "Essex" aircraft carrier did nothing and was hit on the head and smashed six missiles in one breath. Because the attack distance was too close, the entire process was guided perfectly, and all of them were hit accurately!
If the damage caused by the first two hits is not too excessive, the four behind are really killing and fierce! Not to mention the four big holes caused by impact and counter-shock on the deck, especially the two behind, the penetration angle is too good. They penetrate into the third floor and explode, sweeping across the entire hangar, killing the remaining fighter jets, and igniting the refueling car. The fire caused is raging along the damaged steel plates. Wherever they pass, the high temperature is fierce!
The worst thing is that the bottom plate of the hangar was also blasted open and the oil bin was connected, which was equivalent to providing sufficient reserve force for the fire. The high temperature of thousands of degrees began to rise rapidly, and countless oils mixed into the air. Not long after, a shocking explosion occurred!
The huge aircraft carrier suddenly lifted up from the tail, and the keel creaked and twisted from the bombardment in the middle. In the three large holes, a huge pillar of fire that spanned hundreds of meters into the sky. The carrier-based aircraft and hundreds of staff were swallowed up together and turned into ashes!
More people were swept by the wild waves caused by the explosion and threw them out of the sea!
The slender "Essex" aircraft carrier struggled for less than five minutes. The second half was frantically poured into water. The bow of the ship was raised high, and the remaining devices on the deck slid down in a sensation!
Major General Mitchell was not dead, but like others, he was caused by the vibration caused by the explosion and rolled around. He finally escaped from the tilted island and jumped onto the lifeboat. The aircraft carrier had already begun to tilt behind them and entered the final journey of life!
Not only them, not far away, another aircraft carrier of the same class, "New York City", also suffered the same fate! Under the bombardment of six missiles, a large hole with a diameter of three meters was opened on the left, and dozens of cracks on the edge and the steel plate structure that was on the verge of collapse were constantly damaged with the flooding!
After a missile was blasted in from the bow, it penetrated from the waterline, destroying the take-off deck. The rest were irregularly opened from the deck runway, and the hangar was mostly destroyed. The fire and thick smoke caused, completely submerging the warship inside. Whether it could be rescued is all different!
Compared to them being able to struggle for a while, it would be more miserable that the other two "independent-class" light aircraft carriers that were destroyed closely behind were destroyed.
This aircraft carrier, which is temporarily renovated and built with the "Cleveland-class" light cruiser, has a standard displacement of 11,000 tons, and is used for escort. It is very suitable to be mixed into such a war, but if you are targeted, the consequences will be particularly miserable!
The terrifying anti-ship missile easily penetrates the warship from top to bottom. After the missile warhead penetrates deep into the middle, the autopsy and impacting steel plate fragments flew around, not to mention the holes blasted from the sides of the ship. The worst thing is to make a big hole in the bottom plate, directly destroying the overall structure. The consequences of filling the three sides can be imagined!
The problem is not just one. At least four were prepared for each of their warships! Push them down at various angles. As a result, the keel completely collapsed. In the rumbling explosion, the broken ships with fighter planes had already flown, and more than 1,400 sailors and officers rushed to flee in screams, all diving, and could not swim far away. The warships split into pieces and began to sink!
All of this burst out suddenly in just a few minutes! The speed was so fast that the Americans had no room for reaction!
More than twenty escort ships around, including two light patrols and a bunch of destroyers, set off their posture. There were many turrets and stared at them, but they did not find any target at all, nor did they wait for the circling and dive in their intentions. Then they discovered the shocking explosion of the flagship and other aircraft carriers. For a moment, they were stunned!
Before they could react, the Skyhawk attack aircraft that finally dived down, the thunderous howling whistling could be considered to have exposed their true body, but the reaction time left for them was too little!
An attack aircraft that swept through the sea at high speed, the shock waves driven by the sea rushed into an amazing ditch. The vibrating and evaporating water vapor formed a spectacular white dragon around it, rolling for several kilometers, which was clearly a shiny act, and also reminded the other party!
It is obvious that the pilot is deliberately provoking.
But the Americans had not had time to flatten the cannon, so the guy suddenly pulled the nose and stabbed the sky in a slanted manner. He rolled and moved lightly in the air, avoiding the random cannon, and jumped backwards and started to do some fun.
With just such a diligent skill, the other seven or eight Sky Eagle attack aircraft were seriously killed!
Under the wings, the 250-kilogram bombs were loaded and smashed down one after another. With the speed and trajectory of diving, they slammed into the bodies of the two Cleveland-class light cruisers. Nearby, a shocking explosion sounded randomly, and fireworks that had been soaring hundreds of meters in the air rose slowly behind the tail of the aircraft, reflecting their slutty figures, which were particularly majestic!
This batch of 24 Skyhawk attack aircraft, which only used half of its power, killed the US aircraft carrier that had worked hard to run across most of the earth!
The rest, after completing the remote guidance, immediately turned around and rushed to the main fleet not far from the south.
The sudden attack and shocking explosion behind him made the battleships and auxiliary ships that had suddenly lost their command contact in front of him immediately realize something, needless to say, a sneak attack!
The process is like the two unlucky Yamato ships, and it is impossible to react!
But when they wanted to contact the Nimitz fleet and seek instructions, they were shocked to find that at some point the electromagnetic obstruction in the entire war zone began again!
"Damn Chinese! Can't you fight fairly?!"
Smith, the captain of the "Iowa" battleship, screamed wildly, and smashed the phone handle very much. This move is simply abominable and annoying! Every time they come to critical moments, they will destroy it. The problem is that until today, the US military has not been able to come up with a solution!
Without any help, he temporarily took over the command of the fleet and ordered all warships to enter the air defense state immediately.
He did not disappoint him. This time, the 24 Skyhawk attack aircraft did not hide, and they came to chase after him from behind. However, their targets were obviously not the battleships and heavy cruisers that looked very attractive, delicious, and dangerous, but were covering each other. From the range of anti-aircraft guns, they surrounded the alert scattered enemy ships, serving one target, and fired out the remaining anti-ship missiles!
It’s really awesome to kill a chicken! Destroyers with completely ineffective firepower density are all just a bunch of them to defend the main ships in a dense manner. If you expect them to intercept missiles alone, you will be completely powerless!
Unsurprisingly, sixteen destroyers, supply ships and other auxiliary ships were blown up and sunk one after another. The rolling fireworks formed a vast semicircle around the 19 fleet, surrounding the battleships waiting in the middle!
The perpetrators, however, did not have the awareness of the warriors at all. After laying off the missiles and bombs, they immediately left, and never collided with the dense anti-aircraft artillery from beginning to end!
"Ah---! Shameful! Coward! Coward! Bastard..."
Colonel Smith's roar could tear through the whistling of the sea breeze and spread far away, but it could not recall even the review of an attack aircraft.
In fact, Smith didn't know the combat ideas of the Chinese Navy. This has always been like this. Zhu Bin never lets fighter jets take risks and compete with increasingly abnormal air defense firepower with bombs. He can use missiles or gliding bombs from afar to get rid of targets. Why do he have to fight for his life?
When Nimitz suddenly interrupted his contact with the enemy 19 fleet, he knew that something was wrong! But at this time, he had no choice and had no choice. He had advancement and no retreat! No matter what happened to the opposite side, he must strictly implement it according to the established plan!
The air reconnaissance has not yet discovered the enemy. The search circle is expanding towards a wider range. Of course, they do not know. Zhu Bin deliberately opened the "mirage" and concealed his hiding. It was not easy for them to find it easily. The real place has been forced into the waters behind the Nimitz formation, only 200 kilometers away!
Hedging! Fast hedging! The two sides ran at a relative speed of about 60 knots, with a spacing of less than 200 nautical miles between each other. After the first wave of air battles decided to win and lose, it was shortened by half!
The Nimitz formation's reconnaissance aircraft looked down from the air from beginning to end, and the suspicious dense formation actually took the lead with several destroyers and a light patrol. It looked so awkward!
Especially, the aircraft carrier was actually sandwiched in the middle, instead of putting it alone on the windward side to release the fighter. This was simply not right!
Nimitz reacted too quickly! He spread out the chart and just glanced at it quickly, immediately ordered the takeoff and commanded the fighter plane, and with his instructions, he rushed towards the 19th Fleet behind him. Change the course immediately, and don't chase him blindly, but maneuver to the southwest side and stick to northern Sri Lanka!
At the same time, the 20th Fleet no longer faces the enemy head-on, and changes high speed to the left to maneuver, close to the southern part of Sri Lanka. It is expected that the two sides will be harmonious east of the Pauk Strait in the middle. By then, the enemy ships may have crossed the encirclement and arrived in the parallel waters of Sri Lanka.
Although this is equivalent to changing all previous strategies, it is not important. It is more secure than being given a secret and slaughtered inexplicably. Moreover, it can better use the power of land-based aviation forces to ensure the overwhelming numerical advantage in the air. At worst, everyone will have a pursuit battle!
His quick maneuver really saved his life and the others by accident! At this time, Zhu Bin had already begun to prepare anti-ship missiles, intending to give him a ruthless blow from behind - while they were fighting head-on with the South China Sea Fleet, they caught him off guard!
However, Zhu Bin had to stop for the moment after such a sudden maneuver, but he was even more curious about what strategy the other party wanted to adopt?
Anyway, the strategic advantage position has been mastered, and there is no need to worry about the other party causing any trouble. Even if Nimitz wants to run, he cannot run out of the 300 kilometers of heavy anti-ship missiles and the 800 kilometers of strike radius of jet attack aircraft. The birds are in hand to see what tricks they can do!
Chen Ce suddenly heard the surround in front and the pursuers behind, all turned, and was confused for a moment, but at this time he didn't care about thinking too much. The entire fleet was exhausted and when he was besieged, he might make any mistakes. Besides, his mission of seducing the enemy has been completed, so he can let go and cooperate with a big fight!
They still sailed southward. Two hours later, the forwards of the Nimitz fleet passed by them. There was no large surface conflict between them except for the still fierce air siege.
In another hour, the two sides changed positions. Chen Ce led the fleet to maneuver eastward, and made a circle with a diameter of 50 kilometers. Turning back to the north, Zhu Bin's ocean-going fleet appeared about thirty nautical miles south, only fifty nautical miles away from the tail of the Nimitz fleet!
It's approaching!
The two major formations of Nimitz will finally get along! In the middle, he learned that four aircraft carriers were taken down and more than 20 auxiliary ships were lost. His face was cold and he did not say a word. When he officially confirmed that there was a large number of suspicious tracks behind him, he realized that this time, he had another trick of chess! He was fooled!
"Order the fleet! All turn to face the enemy! This time, we will fight to the death with the Chinese!"
Nimitz did not regret or hesitate, and he issued a decisive battle order.
A huge fleet, four Iowa-class battleships, and eight heavy cruisers lined up, and the huge sharp edges raised a steel barrier from the sea.
On the front, four "Kunlun-class" battleships and two Taishan-class giant ships surrounded left and right, approaching slowly towards the bombardment distance!
At a distance of 70 kilometers, the Kunlun Mountains opened fire first! The 420mm main gun shot a concave extended range bomb high towards the other side of the distant horizon. With a rumbling roar, the ships that crossed the US military's opening roads rumbling into the water in the middle of the shovel-shaped formation, and a spectacular explosion!
Chapter completed!
