- The sea was stormy at night, and two of the Chinese Empire's most advanced Trident anti-ship missiles launched by the cruiser Chu Yun were flying across the sea at high speed. .
Because the missile flies close to the sea surface at high speed, the surge shields a large number of electromagnetic field signals released by the missile, making it difficult for the search radar of the Rodford fleet to find the target.
A few minutes later, the Trident missile approached the German battleship Munich. Only then did the German radar find the target.
"It's a trident!"
"Launch interceptor missiles immediately!"
"That's too late!"
"Main gun interception!"
¡°All main guns on the port side are ready¡ªfire!¡±
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
The battleship Munich¡¯s 4 twin-mounted 406mm main guns, 12 twin-mounted 128mm rapid-fire cannons, and 16 quadruple-mounted 57mm rapid-fire cannons opened fire at the same time, forming a dense firepower network.
Listening to the intensive artillery fire, Lieutenant General Rodford looked at the night sky through the bridge window, nervously sweating profusely.
Dazzling light illuminated the sky, and a loud noise was heard.
"Interception successful!"
Rodford was relieved when he heard the news. But within a few seconds, he was nervous again.
"There's one more!"
"Main gun ready!"
"That's too late!"
"The entire ship is protected from impact!"
As soon as the words fell, the second Trident missile hit the battleship Munich. With a loud noise, the battleship shook violently, and Rodford and others were instantly knocked to the ground, their heads bruised and bleeding.
In this old World War II-era battleship, the Krupp armor near the midship waterline on the port side was torn open by a Trident missile, which was more than six meters wide. The 280 mm armor was rolled into a series of twist shapes. , the explosion shock wave destroyed one-fifth of the ship's hull facilities, causing hundreds of casualties. Sea water poured in violently along the gap, and the battleship tilted rapidly.
¡°Damage report!¡±
"Most of the port side amidships were destroyed, the fire was uncontrollable, and the water in areas three and six exceeded the warning line."
"General, I'm afraid we have to abandon the ship!"
Lieutenant General Rodford covered his head and said through gritted teeth: "Order all ships to concentrate their firepower and sink that damn Chinese warship."
On the other side of the world, in the North Atlantic, more than two hundred fighter-bombers loaded with various missile weapons taking off from the Scapa base were flying across the sea in formation. Their target was the German Navy's Third Squadron stationed on the coast of France. .
This is the most advanced supersonic fighter-bomber in the Chinese Empire - the F-60, nicknamed the Star. The F60 is a variable-sweep wing two-seat twin-engine jet fighter. It is a fighter-bomber customized for the Imperial Chinese Air Force. It has close combat, long-range maneuverability, large bomb load, supersonic cruise, and can carry out air-to-air, ground-to-ground, and anti-attack operations. Ship attack is an all-weather multi-purpose combat aircraft. However, the real combat mission assigned to the F60 by the Chinese Imperial Air Force was night combat. To be precise, it was specifically designed to deal with the surface warships of the German Navy. Therefore, the F60 was nicknamed Star.
Each F60 fighter can carry two Tomahawk cruise missiles, and the Tomahawk cruise missiles are improved on the basis of the ship-based Trident anti-ship missile and are equally powerful.
More than two hundred Star fighter-bombers quickly arrived in the predetermined airspace. After the wing commander, Major General Li Xiangyang, issued the first wave of attack orders, more than one hundred Tomahawk cruise missiles were ignited and launched, aiming directly at the German Navy. The two conventionally powered aircraft carriers Hannover and Frankfurt of the Third Fleet.
The aircraft carrier Frankfurt is the flagship of the German Allied Navy's Third Fleet. The commander, Lieutenant General Forbery, is holding a military meeting at the moment. Since he learned that Berlin was under nuclear attack, Hitler has ordered all German Allied forces to enter a state of war, so Forbery Lei needs to make some arrangements to recall all the people who are on vacation.
"Report, it is found that a large number of heat sources are approaching the ship at high speed!"
Forbery's two aircraft carriers were the key targets for Li Xiangyang's first concentrated attack. More than a hundred Tomahawk cruise missiles were all locked on the Frankfurt and Hannover, because as long as these two aircraft carriers were destroyed, Forbery's third fleet would They lost control of the air and could only be beaten passively.
Forbery was shocked and hurriedly ended the meeting and ordered all officers to enter their respective combat positions.
"It's a Tomahawk cruise missile!"
When Forbery came to the bridge command room, the experienced radar staff had already analyzed various data and found out that it was a Tomahawk cruise missile of the Imperial Chinese Air Force.
"Damn it! The Chinamen are making war on us!"
Forbery roared angrily and ordered: "The entire fleet is ready for battle!"
With the order, the ships of the German Navy's Third Fleet sounded the battle alarm one after another.
"All carrier-based aircraft take off immediately!"
"That's too late!"
Due to military budget constraints, the German Navy¡¯s carrier-based fighter jets are usually stored in hangars without refueling or bombing, and they even rarely train. A large number of advanced carrier-based fighter jets are just vases, placed outside to scare people. The long-term nuclear balance between China and Germany means that the German military's armaments are very lax without the outbreak of war.
At this moment, the Tomahawk cruise missiles of the Chinese Imperial Air Force are approaching at supersonic speed and will arrive in a few minutes. The German fighter planes cannot even complete the refueling operation, let alone take off with bombs attached.
¡°All anti-aircraft artillery fire!¡±
The conventionally powered aircraft carriers of the German Navy are equipped with a large number of anti-aircraft artillery. The nearby cruisers and destroyers of the German Navy escorting the aircraft carriers have also opened their air defense identification systems one after another, and all the artillery is aimed in the direction of the missile attack.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Countless shells shot like streams of light towards the distant sea-air handover position, accompanied by violent explosions, and the dazzling light instantly illuminated the sky.
Li Xiangyang was well prepared and knew that the German Navy aircraft carrier had a large number of anti-aircraft artillery, so he concentrated more than a hundred Tomahawk cruise missiles for the first attack.
German anti-aircraft artillery intercepted less than one-third of the Tomahawk missiles. After more than 70 other Tomahawk missiles broke through the German anti-aircraft firepower network, they all hit the aircraft carriers Frankfurt and Hannover.
Although the Germans have strengthened the protection of the aircraft carrier, no matter how strong the armor is, it cannot stop the penetration and destructive power of the Tomahawk cruise missile.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Violent explosions sounded on the two aircraft carriers one after another. The behemoths of more than 60,000 tons were instantly turned into a hornet's nest. In less than thirty seconds, the Hannover and the Frankfurt were blown to pieces. The sky was scorching with fire and thick smoke. The sky and the sea were blocked, and no one of the 11,000 German officers and soldiers under Lieutenant General Forbery survived.
A few minutes later, Li Xiangyang's aviation wing approached the German Navy's Third Fleet.
When he saw the two soaring fire clouds on the sea in the distance, Li Xiangyang immediately ordered a second wave of attacks. He wanted to sink more than a hundred large and small warships in the entire third fleet of the German Navy.
"Whoosh! Whoosh"
Accompanied by bursts of air-piercing sounds, the star fighters of the Li Xiangyang Wing launched Tomahawk cruise missiles one after another.
Because the distance is extremely short, less than fifty kilometers, the Tomahawk cruise missile reaches the German ship in the blink of an eye with a cruising speed of up to Mach 2.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
After each loud noise, accompanied by a fiery red mushroom cloud rising into the sky, a German warship would be sunk.
But the German fleet¡¯s counterattack was also fierce. All the anti-aircraft guns of each battleship opened fire, and the entire sky was filled with lines of fire. Several of the German Navy's own so-called anti-aircraft cruisers and destroyers launched anti-aircraft missiles one after another. Although the interception success rate was not high, many Tomahawk cruise missiles were intercepted one after another, and many fighter-bombers of the Chinese Empire were also shot down.
But the German navy did not have aviation support, and it was too passive to fight without air superiority.
After less than twenty minutes of fierce fighting, the Li Xiangyang Air Wing sank more than 90 German warships, including two aircraft carriers with a tonnage of over 10,000, at the cost of thirty-three Star fighters. If the four battleships and 21 cruisers had not been equipped with anti-ship missiles, the remaining dozen or so small German destroyers would also have been sunk.
In the Pacific Ocean, the Rodford Fleet launched eleven Harpoon anti-ship missiles at the cruiser USS Chu Yun.
Facing the incoming missiles, Zhang Ting knew very well that one Aegis cruiser alone could not intercept the missile saturation attacks from multiple enemy ships at the same time, but he still commanded calmly without showing a trace of panic.
¡°Lock eight Harpoon missiles!¡±
"Launch the Guardian anti-aircraft missile to intercept!"
"Lock two large enemy cruisers!"
"Launch Trident anti-ship missiles to attack!"
With the combat capabilities of the Chu Yun cruiser, it can currently only lock on and intercept eight incoming missiles at the same time. Zhang Ting knew that he would definitely die, so he decided to drag his enemies together to die together. The cruiser Chu Yun can also lock two enemy ships at the same time for anti-ship attacks during battle. This is already the limit.
In just a few minutes, Zhang Ting was able to issue such an order, which was enough to make him famous all over the world.
"The first missile! Successfully intercepted!"
"Second missile! Interception successful!"
"The third missile! Interception failed!"
"The fourth missile! Interception failed!"
The Guardian missile defense system can only theoretically intercept all incoming enemy missiles, but in fact it is impossible for the Chinese imperialists to accurately grasp the accurate data of the German Navy's Whaling Hark anti-ship missiles , is just a general direction, so even if it is determined that the incoming missile is a harpoon, it will be difficult to successfully intercept all of them.
If the Chu Yun cruiser is not equipped with a 128-unit Guardian 2 air defense missile, which can launch two Guardian air defense missiles at the same time to intercept a Harpoon missile, her interception success rate will definitely be lower.
"The seventh missile was intercepted! The interception failed!"
"Main gun ready! Fire!"
"Prepare close-in defense artillery! Fire!"
When the Guardian missile interception failed, all levels of main guns and Vulcan Phalanx and other close-in defense artillery systems on the cruiser Chu Yun opened fire.
¡°The third missile was intercepted successfully!¡±
"The fourth missile was intercepted successfully!"
"The fifth missile interception - failed!"
The lucky smile of the bridge staff suddenly stopped. Zhang Ting immediately picked up the intercom and shouted: "Everyone on the ship is preparing to prevent impact!"
"Hit!"
This was also the last voice of the Chu Yun battleship's announcer. The next moment, four Harpoon anti-ship missiles hit the Chu Yun battleship one after another. The cruiser Chu Yun was completely destroyed in the violent explosion, and all 725 imperial officers and soldiers on board died for the country.
At the same time, two Trident anti-ship missiles were fired at the German ship. One of them was intercepted by the German ship's anti-aircraft fire, and the other sank the German Navy guided missile cruiser Paladin.
Looking at the burning wreckage of the Chu Yun battleship on the sea, Lieutenant General Rodford couldn't help but said in shock: "Is this the strength of the Chinese Imperial Navy? A guided missile cruiser intercepted many times under the siege of seven of our battleships. The missile attack also sank one of our battleships and a guided missile cruiser. If we encountered the main fleet of the Chinese Imperial Navy, I am afraid we would not have a chance to resist."
"Your Majesty General, do we want to continue to the mainland of the Chinese Empire?"
Rodford shook his head and said: "Our whereabouts have been exposed. If we go now, we will die. What awaits us will be the crazy retaliatory actions of the Chinese Imperial Navy. Besides, our true purpose has been achieved. The Chinese Empire must have thought that we have already attacked the enemy." They're going to war, so we'd better find a safe place to hide before the nuclear war between the two countries."
The navies and air forces of China and Germany are engaged in undeclared war in the two oceans of the eastern and western hemispheres at the same time, which really makes the supreme rulers of the two countries who are talking on the phone dizzy.
Wang Chenhao accused the German Allied Navy of attacking the Chinese Imperial Navy, while Hitler also accused the Chinese Imperial Navy and Air Force of attacking the German Allied Navy. Both sides stated that they had no prior knowledge of the attack, but neither believed the other's words and thought that the other was engaging in political deception.
Especially Hitler, when Berlin suffered a nuclear attack, he suspected that it was caused by an intercontinental ballistic missile launched by the Chinese Empire. Although he did not receive a definite report or direct evidence from the German Federal Air Defense Command, Hitler knew that except for the Chinese Empire, no country had nuclear power.
"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, this is obviously an excuse from the Chinese Empire. They want to stabilize us now. It is estimated that all the nuclear missiles of the Chinese Empire are ready at this moment and will launch an attack on us soon."
"Yes, Head of State, if they attack first, we will definitely suffer a big loss."
Hitler frowned and said: "You should also know that the nuclear power of the Chinese Empire is obviously stronger than ours. They have advantages in the quantity and quality of nuclear missiles. The most worrying thing is their Guardian missile defense system, our nuclear missiles It¡¯s uncertain whether we can break through. If we can¡¯t reach the core cities of the Chinese Empire, then we are doomed.¡±
Goering said: "Don't we also have a missile defense system?"
Hitler snorted coldly: "Berlin was attacked by a nuclear attack without even warning. How dare you say that we also have a missile defense system? Bullshit!"
Hitler had always been a gentleman and rarely cursed, but now he was obviously furious.
Heinrich said: "No matter what? It is a fact that the Chinese Empire launched a nuclear attack on Berlin. We must fight back, otherwise it will be more difficult to control those who have been ready to take action."
Hitler knew very well that there were many forces opposing him within the German League. If he shows weakness to the Chinese Empire at this moment, then these people will definitely rise up to rebel against him.
In order to protect his rights, Hitler was heartbroken and immediately ordered: "The Strategic Rocket Force is ready to launch an attack!"
