After confirming the coordinates three times, Liu Xuanjiang asked the communication soldiers to warn the United States, which was close to him.

After the three red signal flares indicating that the ban on the flight in front were launched, the communications trooper pointed the searchlight on the mast at the nearest US merchant ship and sent a light signal of "stop flight, accept verification". Then he also called the US ship through a tweeter, demanding that the flight be stopped for verification.

After all warning measures were invalid, Liu Xuanjiang issued an order to turn to separation.

After learning that the General Staff directly commanded the interception operation, Liu Xuanjiang knew that something was going to happen. In fact, when he encountered the US fleet and the three warnings did not come into effect, Liu Xuanjiang guessed that the above must be considering whether to intercept the US fleet with deadly force.

From the 1st night to the afternoon of the 11th, after an hour, the officers and soldiers on the Wanzhou were very tired.

I can only say that I am tired, because after the Navy's long-range maritime patrol aircraft and Air Force fighters arrived, the officers and soldiers no longer felt nervous. There were fighters in the sky, warships on the sea, and submarines underwater. With so many combat forces, not to mention dealing with an unarmed fleet, even a fleet is more than enough.

At 13:30, about 15 minutes after the "Wanzhou" turned.

After using radar to determine the necessary data such as the distance, course and speed of the fleet, Liu Xuanjiang asked the ordnance chief to input fire control information for the c-809 anti-ship missile.

As an anti-ship missile specially designed for the 6011-class missile escort boat, many of the performance of the c-809 are not considered advanced.

When the range of most anti-ship missiles exceeds kilometers, the maximum range of the c-809 is only 80 kilometers. It is not that the 601 boat cannot carry a larger anti-ship missile, but that there is no need. When designing the 601 boat, the Navy also considered equiping it with a c-808l with a maximum range of 350 kilometers and a maximum speed of more than Mach 3, which is the ship-based type of the c-808k air-launched anti-ship cruise missile. It is exported to Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Egypt, Syria, Iran, Argentina and other countries, which carries the c-808l. After weighing the trade-offs, the Navy still chose the c-809 anti-ship missile with a maximum speed of less than one-third of the c-808l and a Mach.

The reason is very simple. The c-809 is cheaper. Moreover, it is useless to use missile speedboats to detect surface-to-sea. No matter how long the missile range is, it is useless. For the Republic Navy, when it is the turn of boat 601 to "charge into battle" the ground, it either has defeated the enemy or retreated to the nearshore. In any case, boat 601 needs to deal with, it is a small enemy ship or a warship that has been severely damaged. The performance of the c-809 anti-ship missile ground is sufficient to ensure that boat 601 completes its combat mission.

It is more than enough to deal with merchant ships.c-809.

When the ordnance commander inputs fire control information for the missile, Liu Xuanjiang personally controls the tactical information system and operates in concert with other missile speedboats.

Like Air Force field fighters, missile speedboats are also equipped with tactical data links.

Through tactical data links, the Wanzhou can cross-attack targets with the Daxian. Avoid repeated attacks on a target and ensure that the missile can maximize its power.

Collaborative combat is not as simple as one sentence. It requires technical foundation and practical operation.

At 13 o'clock, the 126011 boats each locked their targets in a cross-attack!

In other words, every missile escort boat launches missiles, and every merchant ship will be attacked by missiles. Merchant ships are not warships, and their construction standards are much lower than warships and have almost no ability to resist strikes. Even the VLCC with the largest displacement will sink after being hit by the C-809 missile!

After locking the target with missiles in accordance with the combat orders issued by the General Staff, Liu Xuanjiang sent a "ready" signal.

At 4 o'clock, combat orders were issued.

Within 2 minutes, the 12 missile escort boats completed the missile launch work, and a missile was fired at the US fleet 30 kilometers away. Because the distance was too close, the missile could use the missile to actively search radar after it was off the tube, so the missile escort boat did not need to provide target information for it. Liu Xuanjiang did not issue a return order, but asked the "Wanzhou" to reduce its navigation speed to the festival and approach the US fleet.

30 kilometers, c-809 will hit the target among the post-90s!

Before this, another round of crackdown had begun.

In order to open the way for missile escort boats and carry forward the tactic of "playing the strengths and avoiding weaknesses", the task of attacking the "Yi Chu" missile speedboat group was not handed over to the missile escort boats, and the Navy's long-range maritime patrol aircraft and Air Force fighters were responsible.

I have to say that this is a big regret.

After the birth of the 601 boat, military fans of the Republic and Japan had argued online for a long time about the performance of the two missile boats. Although all countries recognize that the 601 boat is the most advanced missile boat in the world, it would not be possible to sell dozens of ships to several countries in just a few years, becoming the most sold missile boat in the world. However, Japanese military fans have always believed that the performance of the 601 boat is not as good as the "Ibuki" boat, especially the C-809 anti-ship missile equipped by the 601 boat belongs to the "20th century product", which is much worse than the SS-6c anti-ship missile equipped by the "Ibuki" boat.

Practical combat is the best way to test the performance of weapons and equipment.

Unfortunately, the two "mortal enemies" missed the only opportunity to fight.

Of course, this proves again

Fighting is not a "duel" between two types of weapons or a certain type of weapons. However, the "competition" of the system, systematic combat operations are naturally determined by the performance of the combat system!

Using long-range maritime patrol aircraft and fighter jets to deal with the "Ibu" boat is completely useless.

Although long-range maritime patrol aircraft does not belong to "combat aircraft" and is more like "support aircraft", any country's long-range maritime patrol aircraft has strong sea attack capabilities. Taking the US P-8 as an example, it can carry up to 24 anti-ship missiles to perform anti-ship combat missions when necessary, and its sea attack capabilities even exceed those of strategic bombers. The Republic's Navy's sh-8b is no worse than the P8a. It can mount an anti-ship missile under the wings and in the bomb bay.

Carrying 12 anti-ship missiles inside, the sea attack capability is comparable to that of the H-9bh. However, in most of the time, the main task of long-range maritime patrol aircraft is not to deal with sea surface warships, but to assist other combat aircraft in carrying out combat missions. After all, the electronic equipment carried by maritime patrol aircraft is far inferior to that of bombers, and its independent combat capability is relatively lacking. In high-intensity naval battles, no navy will use maritime patrol aircraft to replace bombers and fighters, missing fleeting attack opportunities.

When dealing with missile speedboats, the sh-8b is naturally at ease.

Not to mention the J-15c fighter jet sent by the Air Force. Because the "Ibuki" boat does not have decent air defense capabilities, the J-15c does not carry expensive anti-ship missiles and uses much cheaper laser-guided bombs!

Laser-guided bombs that have developed to the fifth generation can not only attack fixed targets and slow moving targets, but also attack low-altitude slow targets like helicopters. No matter how fast the missile speedboat is, it is not as fast as the helicopter. As long as it can provide accurate guidance, laser-guided bombs can be fully used to attack missile speedboats.

It is not j-15c that performs the boot task, but is flying in front of j-14c.

The "relay" of j-14c is to make the "escort fighter" play a greater role, and the second is to reduce the combat burden of j-15c. In the early strategic bombing, all the J-15c aircraft groups of the Air Force participated in the combat operations and undertake the main combat tasks. The officers and soldiers of each unit were very tired. Although j-14c also carried bombing missions with ground-attack missiles after taking air supremacy, the "state" of the j-14c aircraft group was obviously much better than that of the j-15c aircraft group. This time it was another "temporary mission". The Air Force temporarily drew combat forces, so that the j-15c aircraft group could only return as soon as possible after completing the combat operations, so that the j-14c aircraft group would share more pressure.

There is no suspense about air strikes.

Before the C-809 anti-ship missile launched by the missile escort boat hit American ships, the air-launched anti-ship missile launched by the sh-8b and the laser-guided bombs dropped by the j-15c fighter jet hit the 18-Ibuki boats that were preparing to meet with the US ships. The missile speedboat is not a large warship and cannot carry a large amount of combat equipment like a large warship. The "Ibuki" boats do not even have an "electromagnetic bomb". Facing anti-ship missiles and laser-guided bombs, they do not even have the chance to intercept and avoid.

18~ None of the "Ibu" boats were spared. The most "frail" sank on the spot after being hit by the bomb, and the most "strongest" only lasted for less than 5 minutes. It is no wonder that the 250 kilogram-class laser-guided bomb dropped by the j-15c is not worse than the heavy anti-ship missile. If you consider the throughput of the bomb's volley, the power is even greater than that of the anti-ship missile. For missile speedboats with a displacement of less than 500~:, one bomb is enough to be fatal!

Without seeing the enemy, the two Japanese missile speedboats were wiped out!

12~The ending of the American merchant ship is no better than the "Ibu" missile speedboat group, and none of the C-809s "off the target"!

When the Wanzhou missile escort boat arrived, 7 of the 12-merchant ships had already sunk, and the other 5 were about to sink. Hundreds of crew members floated on the sea with the help of lifeboats and life jackets, waiting for rescue. Liu Xuanjiang did not hesitate and immediately began to salvage the people who fell into the water. He also asked the chefs on the boat to prepare hot rice and soup to warm up the American seafarers who were frozen by the cold sea water.

At this time, under the sea, the 2 submarines were completing the last "process".

The submarines did not participate in the strike operation. First, the torpedoes carried by the submarine were too expensive and could not be used casually. Second, the submarines had more important tasks.

Because the waters where the fleet was attacked were 1 meter west of the Thousand Island Trench, the water depth was less than 50 meters, and within the maximum submersible depth range of the Dolphin-class submarine, the submarine was able to use the "undersea terrain to avoid sonar" to scan the remains of the shipwreck and confirm the cargo scattered from the cabin.

Before 16 o'clock, after the missile escort boat picked up the American crew, the 2~submarines floated to the surface one after another and sent a message.

Like the Military Intelligence Bureau's speculation, except for the three VLCCs, the other nine cargo ships are loaded with weapons, ammunition and other military supplies!

After receiving this news, Wang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Yuanqing left the General Staff after ordering the Military Intelligence Bureau to "interrogate" American crew members as soon as possible and asked the Navy to send salvage ships to the combat waters to obtain "physical evidence".
