Chapter 1109 Peerless Sea Battle 7 Sea Fire!
After a few minutes of silence, Lukins suddenly asked Mountbatten: "The same result was the air battle between you and the Chinese before?"
Mountbatten's cheeks twitched and said hard: "The Americans have launched more than one thousand aircraft attacks more than once, and they were killed more than 80% each time! In the war against China, their total losses were no less than 30,000 aircraft, which was the number they announced! Yes, General, in the face of absolute technological gap, the temporary advantage in quantity is meaningless!"
"Understood!"
Lukins could imagine that it was probably more cruel than what he heard. Just imagine that a powerful United States with more than 50,000 fighter jets per year could not even get air supremacy. You can imagine how big the gap should be. And as far as he knows, that is the result of most people being passively counterattacked by the Chinese.
I didn’t expect that the Chinese people would develop to this point in just ten years. I don’t know what kind of miracles they can create in the future. At least for now, they have become a major concern for Germany! This battle is becoming increasingly unoptimistic!
The group of aircraft was ordered to suspend the attack and only circled around the fleet to guard the war. Lukins took a deep breath and resolutely ordered the fleet to advance in the direction with the largest number of enemy aircraft, and ordered the fleet on both wings to begin to encircle the target sea area.
Fighters can't fight... This battle is really getting harder and harder!
General Lukins thought that in this battle, Zhu Bin would adopt the tactic of taking action again, and wait until his moves before he responded calmly, attacking key points, not killing the soldiers or winning at the lowest cost - he has always done this.
It is no wonder that the comprehensive strength and foundation of weak countries are limited after all, so good steel is used on the blade. The best choice is to maximize the combat effectiveness of equipment. The German Navy has been here in recent years, and he can understand Zhu Bin.
But this time, he guessed wrongly!
In the south, the troops were divided into two groups and inserted into the ocean-going fleet between the two German formations, and the formation changed again! After the air killing, the fighter jets that had fought missiles and shells changed shifts and returned to the aircraft carrier to replenish ammunition. Groups of attack aircraft roared into the air in the dawn, and rushed into the Italian battleship group that was surrounded on the right.
Because of clearing the field in advance, the detection distance of the right formation was very short. No matter how wise General Cunningham was, he could not resist the pig teammate's cheating performance. In order to take care of the old battleships and cruisers, their slow movements and change speeds were seriously dragged down. At this time, it was the juncture of the scattered formation. I didn't expect that the opponent would start to play cards as usual!
Looking down from a high altitude, a large area of at least 200 large and small warships scattered into a bright spot. The five particularly majestic "Veneto"-class battleships mixed with several battleships that the British found ways to preserve, resembled mud ideas thrown out by housewives, and were radially scattered at the core position.
A large number of heavy cruisers, light cruisers, destroyers, and scattered in layers and in a row around the surrounding area. The farthest distance can be around 100 kilometers, which is entirely because the power gap is too large. The speed cannot keep up, and it has never carried out such a large-scale cluster operation. The slack Italian Navy completely exposed its true nature as an inland sea fleet, which made the British anxious and helpless!
At this critical moment, a sharp whistling suddenly came from the sky!
A total of 24 Skyhawk attack aircraft were loaded with 96 light supersonic anti-ship missiles, which were suddenly released from a distance of up to 80 and 30 kilometers. In an instant, white trails spread across the sky, rushing towards the ships outside at a speed of nearly Mach 2 with lightning speeds!
All of them were targeting the outermost opening and defending light warships, and they did not seek to kill the main ships in the core position, which caught the British and Italians off guard! They were in a formation change. They could not use radio, but could only use high-power microwave communications and banner transmission commands that were ineffective, and they were dispatched layer by layer. They responded in a wave-like manner. Before they could make a round trip, the sudden missile came over, and even the fighter planes that were guarded in the airspace of 100 kilometers were alert, and the wreckage shot down by the air combat bomb had not yet fallen to the sea!
Fast! It's so fast that it can't keep up!
The light supersonic missile weighing only 350 kilograms is loaded with a high-explosive tandem armor-piercing bomb of 60 kilograms. The sword generally pounces down in pairs from a height of 1,500 meters. In a blink of an eye, it penetrates deeply into the hulls of weak armored destroyers and light cruisers, and explodes gorgeously!
High-speed kinetic energy, sharp armor-breaking and violent crushing and damage, and its power is many times more brutal than a 406mm battleship grenade. It is a devastating blow to a hull with only a thousand tons and a few thousand tons!
If a missile hits, the entire warship will jump up and be on fire, the hull will shatter, and the two will be dismantled and split into pieces, and there will be no chance to rescue it!
In less than a minute, a total of thirty or forty warships burst out with earth-shaking roars, and a group of dazzling fireballs expanded rapidly, swallowing up the slender hull and spraying tons of steel garbage towards the sea. Some warships with too weak bodies even disintegrated from the explosion, tearing the people and the steel into the sea!
The entire sea surface was like a burning crater! The explosions caught everyone off guard! The already messy formation was torn a huge, twenty kilometers wide opening, exposing all the battleships and heavy cruisers at the core, without any obstruction!
At this moment, 24 attack aircraft drove at full speed and suddenly dived from a high altitude at a speed of nearly 800 kilometers. The tip of the boiling fireworks flashed past the shattered ship like thunder, and drove straight into the air to kill. The fuselage was shocked and the last two laser-guided bombs were thrown down!
These big guys weigh nearly 450 kilograms, and are equipped with a full 200 kilograms of TNT and 20% of aluminum thermal agent mixed with high explosives. The streamlined bullet body is three meters long. It is accurately shot out with the help of the diving speed. After a brief gliding in the air, it hits a messy enemy ship with extremely accurate accuracy!
Their targets are mostly heavy cruisers and old British combat cruisers, which are bulky and slow. Even if the anti-aircraft firepower has been modernized, they can only effectively kill conventional propeller fighters. Faced with the sudden attack of jet high-sonic attack aircraft, they basically do not have much effect, let alone. They are not prepared at all!
The heavy laser-guided bombs that were smashing down in a row were falling too fast. The height of just over a thousand meters was just a blink of an eye. The ship's air defense fire operator had not yet understood what was going on, and everyone crashed down!
boom!
More than 200 kilograms of explosives exploded up and down the hull, raising a circular impact belt of two or three hundred meters, instantly releasing thousands of degrees of high temperature aluminum heater to render the fire ball into a blazing white inside and a bright orange-red color on the outside, wrapping countless destructive remains, rushing straight to the skyline of hundreds of meters in a sensation!
This strike is different from light anti-ship missiles!
Simple low-speed impact. Without the armor and main guns through the side of the warship, the armor on the bridge is quite strong, even if it is only 150mm, it is too powerful to prevent its explosion power! Even if it plunges into a little bit, it is a full 200 kilograms of mixed explosives, it completely wraps more than 100 meters around the entire warship's bullet point, and everything it touches is torn apart!
Even if it falls into the water on the side of the warship, the impact water pressure formed by the explosion is enough to crush the armor on the side of the ship, forming a large number of cracks and pour water. The cracked fragments sweep across the building above, and people are overturned wherever they go, which is so miserable!
The power of explosion on the surface can rush more than 10,000 tons of armored heavy cruisers, either raised or pressed into the water. The violent fire swept across the buildings on the deck, and the main turret and secondary guns and anti-aircraft guns were all damaged one after another. There was countless killings!
The most deadly thing is the 20% aluminum thermal agent that is doped, which not only forms an instant killing high temperature, but also arson after the explosion, which burns wherever it sprays. No one can withstand the deadly high temperature. The cleaned personnel cannot replenish it. When they rush out, the fire has begun to spread everywhere on the ship!
This series of attacks exploded nearly twenty enemy ships and smoked all over. After throwing out the load of ammunition, the attack aircraft happily dived in this dive posture. After sweeping out the explosive ammunition as quickly as possible, it turned sharply and took off, without giving the core battleships and battle cruisers the chance to fire and strafuse the anti-aircraft guns.
Behind them, a large area of burning sea with a radius of more than ten kilometers was left. The roaring fire engulfed the towering bridge, and the smoke column formed rushed straight to the sky of a thousand meters, swept by the cold wind, rising like a dragon!
The huge fleet array was chewed down, like a broken pie, forming an unobstructed air corridor, completely exposing the battleships under heavy protection!
Just at this moment, the "Thunder Dragon" fighter that had been enduring and unmoving finally showed its sharp teeth!
On the huge belly of the aircraft, the doors of the bullet walls were all open, clusters of supersonic anti-ship missiles, lightweight and heavy, spilled out one after another, just four of them, and they even shot out more than 30, whistling from the sky to the sea, and the target was aimed directly at the core ship group!
General Cunningham's head was about to explode! The enemy's attack came so fast, so fierce, and so accurate, completely beyond his experience. From the towering bridge, the fireworks indicate that the pieces of warships were damaged and efficient, just like mowing grass. He had never seen them in his half life. Not only was his heart apart, but he also felt that the sky was about to collapse!
As for the Italian Augustus, he was completely panicked and didn't know what he was talking about. Command? Let's pull it down!
Just from the telescope, I found out what the opponent's single-sided attack was like peeling an onion. Cunningham loudly ordered the core ships and the two-wing ships to concentrate the anti-aircraft artillery towards the gap as much as possible. No matter whether the attacking fighter jets or missiles, they must take the lead in forming an interception! Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable!
But the radio was disturbed, and relying on the banner alone was too inefficient! Even though we were in a state of alert before, the slow communication was worrying when we needed to fight together!
Time is too late!
The dazzling missile trails stretched rapidly from the smoke screen drawn from the high altitude. The supersonic anti-ship missile plunged into the main battleships under the keen eyes of the observation whistle with wide eyes!
Two old British combat cruisers were broken in armor and seriously injured in the explosion!
The two Veneto battleships were taken care of by each of them for four heavy anti-ship missiles. The terrifying tandem armor-breaking warhead ignored the horizontal deck 162.5mm, the main turret 350mm, the command tower 260mm, and the total weight reached 13,545 tons of heavy protection. Wherever they went, they all ran through them!
Then, the terrifying high-explosion warhead's crazy destructive power extended from the inlet to all directions, and wherever it passed, it was destroyed. No matter how exquisite the Italians' construction technology was, it could not stop the explosion that destroyed everything. With the fall of the last missile, eight main battleships were submerged in fireworks!
The flagship Cunningham is located in is the priority of taking care of. Four heavy anti-ship missiles were scattered and they immediately exploded so that there was no good place to see.
The missile hitting the stern not only tore up all the ejection mechanisms and carrier-based aircraft, but also destroyed the stern rudder and a propeller thruster; the missile hitting the front deck dropped a main turret at the root, and the other one lifted the entire steel plate and secondary gun from the side, and the anti-aircraft gun device, and then opened a crack four or five meters deep from the hull!
The last one exploded against the right side, crushing the armor, pushing the warship of more than 40,000 tons sideways out of several meters horizontally. The terrible force that impacted the keel from below caused irreversible damage. Not only did the power transmission system be greatly affected. The keel also deformed, and the entire warship immediately became a dead fish that could not move!
Other warships are basically paralyzed!
A series of aerial strikes, in just a few minutes, paralyzed half of the main force of the vast coalition fleet!
Such high efficiency has left everyone in the contemporary world behind. I don’t know how to comment, the heavy damage of the flagship has completely paralyzed their command system! The aggressive fleet of ships has become hornets without queen bees, with spikes all over their bodies. But I don’t know how to use it, and the role it should have played is completely useless!
After all the ammunition, the attack aircraft group, hovered in the air for a while, collected the impact from multiple angles and left.
On the sea, the four Kunlun-class battleships led by the ships were running at full speed and rushed towards this side--with absolute advantage in combat power, they also had to beat the dogs in the water. This despicable style is probably just Zhu Bin can play with, and he is simply unconventional!
But, he likes it himself, that's enough.
The core formation, the Germans didn't know the tragedy that happened there, and General Lukins couldn't take care of it because the attacks on them suddenly became dense!
The second wave of cruise missiles siege the sea, sweeping away more than a dozen escort light ships on the front of its formation. Following this, the electromagnetic guns were re-active! However, this time, the distance between the two sides had been much closer, gradually approaching, and only 300 kilometers, the demand for output power was greatly reduced, and the launch frequency increased exponentially, and the warhead was replaced with a bomb-passing bomb equipped with a small high-explosion warhead. The two ships alternated and launched one after another!
Not only were they two, the other two missile cruisers also fired their dual-equipped 127mm electromagnetic reconnection guns, and fired at low-fire speed, high-fire velocity, all pure kinetic energy killing warheads. They opened fire from afar in the waters near the enemy ships, and long pole special bullets soared into the sky, mixed in the middle, and fell one after another!
As a result, the density of the attack on the Germans suddenly increased several times! But compared to conventional artillery bombardment, it seems to be sparse and unconventional, but it cannot be kept coming too fast, hitting too far, with too high accuracy, and being unable to defend against it!
The same sea-grabbing attack was precisely like the precise bombing of ground artillery. The huge warship was as majestic as a mountain, but it was the best target. It was gathered over and the light and heavy combination hit the German warship. The ceiling bloomed in an instant, dazzling and dazzling!
The explosive bombs fired from the electromagnetic gun only had only a dozen kilograms of crystalline alkyl charges in the warhead, but they could not bear the explosive power of this thing, which was too powerful, and was more fierce than the 420mm grenade. With the convenience of the sharp warhead penetrating into the hull, the violent explosion was enough to destroy all the surrounding steel structures. Therefore, one after another, after fighting ships, after resisting the kinetic energy destruction of the initial collision and killing, could not withstand the terrible explosion and collapsed!
"You can't continue like this! Otherwise we will all be done!"
Seeing that the Germans who were already dizzy couldn't come up with good ideas, Mountbatten didn't care if it was appropriate to interfere in the affairs. He made a quick decision and issued an order for Admiral Lukins: "Let the carrier-based fighter jets carry anti-ship missiles and fire all! Order all those carrying anti-ship missiles to launch an attack immediately! Can't wait any longer!"
Lukins frowned and said nothing, and the German staff opposed: "This is not possible! We have not figured out the specific location of the enemy ship yet. Breaking fire will only waste precious missiles!"
Mountbatten sneered sarcastically: "If you wait any longer, I'm afraid we will never have the chance to waste! Don't you see clearly that the Chinese just want to use this method of cutting flesh with a blunt knife to destroy all our living forces bit by bit with the advantage of distance? You must take risks and have a full blow!"
Lukins finally had the foundation of being a talented and strategy. He made a wise choice at the critical moment and waved his hand hard to interrupt the dispute: "Go and do it! Let all the fighter jets rush up to attract firepower, and then, if there is any way, let it go!"
He also felt that things were a little wrong. The opponent's style of playing did not follow common sense at all. He did not even carry out a large-scale air strike and did not care about exposing his existence in advance. What does this mean? You are so confident!
The order was issued, and behind the rear, several missile ships that were worried about being hit were busy release all the V2 missiles on the launcher!
The thick missile, with each recoil force, can shake the carrier hull with a displacement of at least 20,000 tons, so don’t expect accuracy or something. Now they only have one idea to launch it!
Chapter completed!
