    The war came faster than Li Lan expected, and the flames of war instantly ignited the night sky in the South Atlantic.  ¡­ At four o¡¯clock in the morning, the NATO Atlantic Combined Fleet sounded the battle alarm. A large number of combatants, five aircraft carriers, and a large number of carrier-based aircraft ready to fly took off one after another under the indicator lights.  The early warning aircraft in the sky also began to sort out the enemy situation, providing a large amount of enemy aircraft data for each carrier-based aircraft taking off.  The Somali Navy¡¯s carrier-based early warning aircraft also immediately captured the signals of a large number of enemy aircraft taking off. This news was also immediately reported to the Atlantic Fleet. Lynch immediately issued an order for the carrier-based aircraft to take off to meet the enemy.  Shrill battle alarms echoed on the two fleets, and a large number of red signal lights began to flash on the fleets.  At the same time, on the outer destroyers of both sides that were only 300 kilometers away from the enemy ships, as the battle alarm sounded, the soldiers in the combat service center immediately turned on the fire control radar and phased array radar.  With the help of early warning aircraft, the location of enemy warships can be quickly locked.  However, there is no way to carry anti-ship missiles in the vertical launcher of the U.S. Arleigh Burke-class destroyer. In addition to cruise missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, the Whale Harpoon and Harpoon anti-ship missiles cannot be installed on the destroyer's vertical launch system.  .  However, the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer is also equipped with eight anti-ship missiles. At the moment when the battle alarm is initiated, all warships turn their rudders and face the enemy ships horizontally.  As the carrier-based aircraft took off, the side-mounted anti-ship missiles were launched almost at the same time.  As soon as the missile left the launcher, it roared with intense fire and flew towards the enemy ship 300 kilometers away.  At the same time, in the vertical launch system of the Aegis ship.  After receiving the signal of incoming missiles from the enemy ship, they immediately launched a counterattack.  The fresh-keeping covers of the vertical launch systems at the stern and bow were suddenly opened.  The missile inside directly breaks through the moisture-proof protective layer under the air pressure, and then rests in the direction of the warhead in the air about ten meters above the warship.  The next second the missile engine ignites.  The second missile took off immediately and fired in the same direction. In just one minute, six cold-launched anti-ship missiles disappeared into the dark sea.  However, the attack did not end there. After a short rest, the second launch started again, with another six anti-ship missiles under the air-cooled launcher.  It was ejected from the vertical launcher and flew toward a distant target.  The Aegis ship performs more air defense missions, but in regular missions, it also carries 24 supersonic anti-ship missiles, 24 supersonic cruise missiles, and then 48 regional air defense missiles and  A large number of close-in defense weapons systems.  At the same time, NATO's peripheral destroyers also launched a total of dozens of anti-ship missiles towards the Atlantic Fleet. There were many types of anti-ship missiles, including French ones.  There are also British ones.  These destroyers immediately launched anti-ship missile attacks on the Somali fleet.  However, the NATO anti-ship missiles installed on these destroyers do not have supersonic anti-ship missiles.  The speed is at best subsonic anti-ship missile.  With a launch time difference of only ten seconds, Somalia¡¯s anti-ship missiles naturally run faster.  The fleets on both sides were not even in the mood to say hello.  I just started working on it, and the whole process was very smooth.  It seemed like they had been waiting for a long time.  How many years of confrontation and grudges start from now on.  All can be solved together.  In the history of human war, the Third World War broke out like this.  Because at this point, there is no possibility of salvation.  Air defense sirens have sounded over the two fleets. Compared with the speed of anti-ship missiles, the speed of fighter planes is faster.  At this moment, in the central waters of the South Atlantic, patrolling fighter planes from both sides have launched a round of missiles.  The carrier-based aircraft responsible for patrolling the NATO joint fleet transitioned into combat mode at the top of the hour, and the active phased array radar immediately targeted the Somali Navy carrier-based aircraft.  The first battle between the two sides started from here. Three squadrons of Lightning carrier-based aircraft were premeditated to surround them, and at the same time they fired missiles at the Apollo carrier-based aircraft that was giving an early warning over their own fleet.  The pilots of the Red Alert carrier-based aircraft also reacted very quickly. They had already received the order that the war could start at any time, and they were already prepared for a counterattack.  After the early warning system sent out a radar-locked signal, all Apollo carrier-based aircraft pilots turned on the active phased array radar in a tacit understanding, and immediately locked the Lightning carrier-based aircraft, which opened its stealth magazine and prepared to launch missiles.  .  The twelve Apollo carrier-based aircraft of the two squadrons did not counterattack immediately, but immediately dispersed.After the air combat team composed of the main unit and wingmen dispersed, they launched a counterattack in an orderly manner.  After the pilots of the Apollo carrier-based aircraft closed their eyes to launch the missiles, when they opened their eyes, the medium-range air-to-air missiles launched by the Lightning carrier-based aircraft had already arrived not far away from them.  "The enemy aircraft is at an altitude of 4,000 meters, and the entire team is adjusting its altitude to 5,000 meters." As if it had already been discussed, at the same time, all twelve Apollo carrier-based aircraft from six teams turned on their afterburners.  The originally calm fighter engine suddenly roared like a beast.  Every Apollo fighter suddenly shook in the air at the same time. A sonic boom cloud instantly formed on the wings and behind the fuselage. All Apollo fighters instantly entered supersonic cruise.  Approaching NATO's Lightning carrier-based aircraft, the flying medium-range air-to-air missiles are also very fast, but each Apollo carrier-based aircraft is climbing rapidly at a speed exceeding Mach 2, waiting for the missile to change its course to catch up.  By that time, the Apollo fighter plane had already left the missile's pursuit direction.  However, the missiles launched by the Apollo fighters were also avoided by the Lightning carrier-based aircraft, which were also prepared.  However, the Apollo fighter jets approaching at high speed still made the opponent a little panicked. They were already tens of kilometers apart, and at two Mach speeds, although the opponent could not be seen in the night sky, they could vaguely catch the radar signal, which was telling every Lightning fighter  The driver, the other party is already very close to him.  "The Somali enemy aircraft is at an altitude of 5,000 meters, bearing 011. Number six, speed Mach 2" At this time, the Hawkeye early warning aircraft behind him also sent detailed intelligence to the Lightning fighter.  Immediately.  The Lightning carrier-based aircraft fleet began to pounce on the enemy aircraft in batches.  The close combat missile is already in preparation for launch.  However, at this time, the Lightning carrier-based aircraft has not yet entered supersonic speed, and seems to be preparing to wait and see the enemy aircraft.  Every NATO pilot is looking at the radar signal on the integrated screen with great concentration, and his fingers are already tightly placed on the missile launch button.  As soon as the radar captures the opponent, the missile will be launched immediately.  Those who wait will always gain something. During the tense waiting process, more than ten seconds seem to have passed more than ten years.  Strong radar signals appeared on the integrated screen display of each Lightning carrier-based aircraft.  At this time, the Apollo carrier-based aircraft was only ten kilometers away from them. The strong radar signal was the signal captured by the radar at the moment the concealed magazine was opened.  The next second, the missile was thrown out of the Apollo carrier-based aircraft's magazine, and the NATO pilots on the Lightning carrier-based aircraft also locked onto the local fighter aircraft and fired close-range combat bombs.  At this moment, neither side has time to check whether the attack was successful because of the opponent's missiles.  It's almost in front of you in the blink of an eye.  The Lightning carrier-based aircraft with a convertible nozzle immediately performed a Cobra maneuver, and its nose suddenly rose.  Large swaths of decoy bombs were released into the air.  And the missile just passed through their tail and was detonated under the decoy bomb.  But before the NATO carrier-based aircraft pilots felt proud, the radar warning signal did not disappear.  Instead, it became more urgent.  The next second, six fireworks bloomed gorgeously in the sky.  Six Lightning carrier-based aircraft were destroyed by missiles almost at the same time.  Burning wreckage.  With pieces of fire in the sky, it staggered towards the sea and fell.  Time goes back to twenty seconds ago.  All the wingmen of the six squadrons of Apollo carrier-based aircraft flew in front, and dozens of meters behind the wingmen was the main engine flying at the same flight angle and altitude.  When the wingman launched the missile, the main engine also launched the missile shortly after.  The wingman launches V-IGD close-range combat missiles, while the host launches V-2GD close-range combat missiles.  The performance and data of these two missiles are almost the same, and there is no improvement. However, the engine and appearance of the missile have been processed. The engine nozzle of the missile has been treated with firelight, and it emits a faint starlight in the dark night.  The appearance has also been treated with stealth, and the attack is very concealed.  At first, the Lightning fighter plane only detected the V-1GD running in front, but did not immediately detect the V-2GD following it. As a result, the Lightning carrier-based aircraft pilot who just thought he had escaped the missile attack, just relaxed, the second  One missile took their lives.  In fact, this cannot be blamed on the NATO pilots for being lax, because neither the Lightning's airborne phased array radar nor the distant early warning aircraft only discovered six incoming targets, not two overlapping targets.  This led to the tragedy of losing six carrier-based aircraft in an instant.  The Apollo carrier-based aircraft that succeeded in the first attack did not have much advantage at the moment, so?The two squadrons following the other side have arrived on the battlefield, and the scene has directly changed to twelve versus twenty-four.  At this moment, the carrier-based aircraft on the fleet also began to assemble over the aircraft carrier, and a new attack would soon be launched.  At the same time, destroyers on both sides also intercepted incoming anti-ship missiles.  The scene of missiles taking off was quickly staged on the destroyers of both sides, and the Phalanx air defense systems all began to operate.  "Compared with the reaction speed of the Indian Navy, the reaction speed of NATO naval soldiers is much faster.  Two waves of missiles staggered past each other close to the sea. When the Somali side's supersonic anti-ship missile entered the 80-kilometer range of the Ali Burke-class destroyer, the Standard-3 missile took off immediately.  The Standard-3 anti-aircraft missile, which is fired directly from the vertical launcher, reacts very quickly. The moment after it takes off, it flies in the direction of the anti-ship missile flying in the distance. The angle and height of the flight are also constantly changing.  adjusting.  However, it is not so easy to intercept these ultra-low-altitude anti-ship missiles.  Because the standard series of missiles are more designed to intercept air targets and intercept ultra-low-altitude targets, their effectiveness has yet to be tested.  Naturally, externally published data cannot be fully trusted.  Because the performance of these standard three is still very good.  When the V-2FJ supersonic anti-ship missile approaches the outer destroyer, it is less than a kilometer away.  It was accurately intercepted by Standard Thirty.  However, this is also because the Indian Ocean is calm at the moment.  It doesn't have to do with too much wind and waves, otherwise the active search radar's ability to track ultra-low-altitude anti-ship missiles would be intermittent under the interference of waves.  It is difficult to indicate the interception point and angle of the missile in a very standard way. Therefore, the performance of the Standard-3 can only be said to be the weather that helped a lot.  On the other side, the number of missiles faced by the four Aegis ships is not small, but every Red Alert Navy soldier in the ship's combat service center.  He also intercepted very decisively.  Classify the threat level of the searched incoming targets, and then start to control the missile to lock on the six most threatening targets based on the threat level of the target.  The next second, the missile was launched under the command of the weapons commander. Ten seconds later, the second wave of interceptor missiles took off again.  At this moment, the anti-ship missile launched by the NATO fleet has arrived only fifty kilometers away from the Aegis ship.  But in the next second.  On the originally calm sea, a huge wave with a length of hundreds of meters suddenly set off. A large amount of seawater flew up to the sea surface more than ten meters, and then quickly crashed back to the sea surface.  A few seconds later.  A large number of floats tumbled out of the roaring waves, apparently beneath this sea.  Submarines from both sides also began to engage in battle.  I don¡¯t know which side has already gained something.  The waves caused by such a violent explosion must have killed one of the submarines on one side.  This caused such a huge response.  However, the surface ships of both sides had no time to pay attention to the underwater battle.  The four Aegis ships launched twelve V-2FK missiles one after another, and finally intercepted most of the incoming anti-ship missiles.  The remaining few missiles were also destroyed on the sea surface under the intensive Vulcan system. The only Harpoon anti-ship missile that was only a few hundred meters away from the Aegis ship was also destroyed under the cloud burst interference cloud.  Plunged into the sea.  And whether the battle took place in the air, on the water, or even on the bottom of the sea, it only happened within three minutes after the war officially broke out.  The next step is the real fierce battle.  All sneak attack tactics are ineffective for both sides.  This naval battle is a battle of encirclement and annihilation. Both sides are in the open. What attack methods they have and what reactions they make are all in the eyes of both sides. It is not a secret at all.  At this moment, both fleets have increased their speed to more than thirty knots. A large number of carrier-based aircraft began to take off quickly under the headwind, and anti-submarine helicopters began to search for submarines in their respective fleet areas.  At this time, no matter whose submarine it is, once it enters the fleet's warning range, it will be attacked.  Even your own submarine will be the target of attack, because this is an iron rule.  Even if the Typhoon-class attack nuclear submarine of the Somali Atlantic Fleet enters the waters of the Atlantic Fleet, it will immediately become the target of the fleet's anti-submarine forces.  The same is true on the other side. Even if the Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine enters one's own defense circle, it will be killed immediately.  And the battlefield of submarines has naturally become more dangerous, because they not only have to prevent the other party from breaking through their own defense lines, but they also have to protect themselves at all times.Keep a reasonable distance between yourself and your own fleet to avoid becoming a target of attack.  At this moment, on the command ship of NATO's Atlantic Combined Fleet, four-star US Navy Admiral Robert Gates is sitting in the command center. Beside him, a large number of NATO staff officers are gathering together to analyze the results of the battle and ensure real-time understanding of the war.  Master the status, and then make tactical modifications based on these statuses.  Gates, on the other hand, was in control of the overall situation. Three minutes after the attack was launched, the battle damage was reported for the first time.  "Report, according to the report from the front line, during the three-minute attack, we successfully intercepted 24 anti-ship missiles launched by the enemy, but the 48 anti-ship missiles we launched were also intercepted by the opponent.  As for the Air Force, six Lightning fighters of the Thirteenth Carrier Air Wing and five Lightning fighters of the Tenth Carrier Air Wing were destroyed by enemy aircraft. Only three pilots escaped successfully. We destroyed three of the opponent's Apollos.  The carrier aircraft and the opponent's pilots all parachuted successfully. The surviving pilots are now in the sea area where the carrier-based aircraft of both sides are fighting. The destroyer in front has sent a helicopter to the rescue. It has been determined that a submarine has been destroyed, but it cannot be confirmed at this time.  , which side's submarine was destroyed, and no signs of wreckage or floating objects on the sea could be seen at night. "The attack is too slow. This speed is simply criminal." Gates looked unhappy. Under the absolute advantage,  The battle damage ratio of the carrier-based aircraft actually reached 11 to 3, which was unacceptable to him.  Another staff report reported: "Currently, the second batch of carrier-based aircraft of the five carrier-based air wings, a total of thirty-six Lightning fighters, have formed an encirclement formation. It is expected that in twelve minutes, they will fight with the enemy's second batch of  "Carrier-based aircraft exchanged fire." Gates still shook his head and ordered: "It's still too slow. The soldiers are very fast. Order the leading destroyer formation of each aircraft carrier battle group to immediately advance fifty nautical miles and cooperate with the air force to eliminate the opponent's enemy."  "In addition, immediately order the commanders of the five aircraft carrier battle groups to immediately take off the carrier-based drones, all fly at ultra-low altitudes, and break into the opponent's fleet defense circle. I want to smash through the opponent's defense network in one fell swoop.  "Command the other defensive ships to disperse immediately according to the combat formation, and at the same time squeeze into the middle, compressing the opponent's two aircraft carrier battle groups into a fixed space, absolutely.  We can¡¯t let the opponent break out, even if we put bayonets on the warships, we still have to intercept the opponent.¡± (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
