"Come on, come on, come on, follow me." The USS Constellation aircraft carrier showed order in the chaos. The air crews on the ship were performing their duties, and their movements seemed much faster than usual. U.S. military pilots in brown and green flight uniforms boarded one after another. His own plane was undergoing final inspections before flight, preparing to leap into the sky, join the fleet, and attack the core ships of the Chinese Navy.
Pilot James took a few deep breaths. Even though he was not a Catholic or a Christian, he kept making the sign of the cross on his chest. Since the war began, the death rate of US military pilots participating in the war has remained high, which has also made a large number of pilots very worried. This flight of yours will become your last.
James knew that this mission was to cover attack aircraft and multi-purpose fighters in sinking China's heavy arsenal ship, and obviously this was not an easy task. Intelligence showed that although the power of this arsenal ship was damaged, the weapon system should be intact. Not long ago, her sister ship had shot down many fighter jets and buried many outstanding pilots in the belly of deep-sea fish.
"This is going to be a tough battle, Jim. You'd better put away your fear. You must know that in the sky, whoever is most afraid will die first," said Damond, a fellow pilot who was one rank above him next to him. However, He seemed to have his eyes opened wider than usual, indicating that he was not as calm as he said.
"I don't know, Damond, the Chinese will not hesitate to resist with heavy troops in order to protect that ship. To sink that super battleship, maybe we need to lose thirty or forty fighter jets, or even several ships, and hundreds of people. Is this worth your life?¡±
Damond's expression was very cold: "As long as the higher-ups think it's worth it, we can only do this. Instead of thinking about this, let's think about how to kick a few cIukR spoon butts in the future."
The B Snowcats driven by two people took off from the USS Constellation aircraft carrier one after another. After adjusting their course, they quickly flew towards the sea area where the Chinese fleet was located.
"The Hound formation has encountered a Chinese fighter plane. Come on, let's go help." Damond received the message and said to his wingman James.
James is still very nervous, but there is no use being nervous at this time. He can only perform to his best level. He doesn't think about how to shoot down more of the opponent's fighter jets, but thinks about how to survive in such a difficult battle.
The two flew for more than a minute, and suddenly James shouted: "Flag 2I, I think we are being followed by the enemy, damn, they are behind us."
Damond still tried to sound calm: "Flag 22, don't be nervous, teach these bitches a lesson!"
The two B Snowcats started at full speed and circled, trying to get rid of the Chinese fighters that were already catching up and provide a good shooting window to fight with the opponent.
"It's J-6, two J-6s, okay." James breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't dare to relax too much. The J-6 is not a particularly bad fighter, but it is the most outstanding among the fourth and a half generation fighters. Not to mention the fourth and a half generation fighters from the United States and Europe, even fifth generation aircraft may not have a guaranteed chance of winning in a dog fight with them.
The two B Snowcats circling back seized a certain favorable position. James was a little reckless and launched an attack first, firing two AIM2UD missiles, but both missiles missed the target J-6.
¡°Calm down kid, we have a whole day to play games like this with these cIuks,¡± Damond said. The J-6 began to pursue its opponent relentlessly. After finding it difficult to get rid of the B that was catching up behind it, the J-6 used a more risky super maneuver, using the tail as the axis to forcefully adjust the attack angle through a three-dimensional vector. , to gain an opportunity to attack Damond. However, the experienced Damond immediately made a sudden descent and avoided the direction of the J-6's nose. When Damond also pulled the nose of the plane, the missile he fired successfully hit the J-6. .
"Beautiful, flag 2l" James also praised his partner's performance despite his busy schedule when he was struggling with his opponent. Now it has become a 2 pair of I. Damond will be able to take down James' opponent when he turns around.
But just as he finished speaking, an anti-aircraft missile suddenly appeared from nowhere and directly hit Damond's plane, which had lost kinetic energy due to super maneuverability.
"No, my God," James shouted. It was unimaginable that his companion who had so bravely shot down the Chinese fighter jet just now was shot down so easily by an anti-aircraft missile. Immediately afterwards, more friendly symbols disappeared from his display screen, and there was a shout of "I want to eject" from the communicator. He could imagine that a meteor shower from the sea to the sky caused heavy losses to the US military's air fleet.
"It's the arsenal ship," James realized clearly. This time their target was the only one with such a powerful anti-aircraft attack capability. James was trembling all over, feeling ridiculous like a dragon slayer who failed to slay the dragon but was burned to death by the dragon's breath. But what he needed to worry about most now was not the anti-aircraft missiles. He shot up, but instead followed the Chinese J-6 fighter jet behind him.?
The Tianlong is the second-generation arsenal ship with more than 700 B units. The main anti-aircraft missile is the Thorn-9 anti-aircraft missile. Although this long-range anti-aircraft missile has a range similar to the Hongqi, at 20 kilometers, its strike capability is extraordinary. Generally, it takes 24 anti-aircraft missiles to shoot down a fighter plane, but the Thorn missile is a breakthrough intelligent anti-aircraft missile that can shoot down an aircraft with one bomb. It can effectively identify targets, conduct long-distance tracking, and has relatively high fault tolerance and resistance to damage. interference ability.
This kind of missile is mainly equipped on general-class battleships, arsenal ships, Pandao-class cruisers and assault destroyers, while the 05E-6B series ships mainly use the Red Flag series of missiles.
The Tianlong, whose power was affected, immediately launched a wave of anti-aircraft missile attacks after discovering the large-scale incoming US fighter jets. It launched more than 40 missiles and shot down more than ten US military fighter jets. This terrifying attack capability directly This made the US military a little scared, but Commander Fargo strengthened his determination: "This battleship must be sunk, she may be a greater threat than an aircraft carrier."
As a result, the U.S. military rushed towards the Tianlong even more desperately, and even the All attack aircraft that should not have rushed in front also rushed towards the Tianlong in a suicidal attack. The US military dispatched more than 200 fighter and attack aircraft sorties, and their sudden movements also caused great trouble to the defending Chinese naval aviation.
The aircraft carrier continues to take off fighter jets to support the station, and the shore-based aviation forces stationed at the base (mainly J-6) are almost in full force, guarding the Tianlong arsenal ship to the death.
Qi Yiming had already learned about the incident when the Tianlong was damaged, and he could not sit back and watch an important arsenal ship being sunk by the US military. This was terrible both from a tactical perspective and from a strategic propaganda perspective of the US military. One thing, he must organize this thing to happen. Therefore, the Red Police Fleet already stationed in Rabaul sent a large number of warships to support the Tianlong. The Tianlong could not be sunk.
Naturally, the Tianlong also has the biggest card, which is the Iron Curtain system that has not been triggered before. This invincible state can be maintained for about three minutes, which means that the Tianlong can at least withstand one round of saturation attacks, which has improved own survivability.
"We have detected that there are many U.S. submarines trying to approach the Tianlong fleet. Oh, not only U.S. submarines, but also conventionally powered submarines from Japan and Australia. Japan's most cutting-edge Soryu-class and Australia's Collins-class AIp submarines imported from us. , the backdoor we set up on the Collins class was triggered, and we were able to sink it easily.¡± The Fleet Staff Report showed that the NATO allies not only planned to rely on fighter planes to resolve the battle, they also sent multiple submarines underwater to prepare for another attack. Copying the previous North Dakota's successful sneak attack.
But this time, after the Chinese navy was on high alert, the US submarine did not have much chance. Before it entered its range, it was discovered by the approaching cruiser.
As a large cruiser known for its anti-submarine capabilities, the Paralyzed Knife cruiser can serve as the anti-submarine core of the fleet. After discovering the enemy submarine, the Paralyzed Knife cruiser immediately launched its own supercavitation torpedoes. These high-speed torpedoes are extremely powerful for submarines. deadly. Two Australian Collins-class submarines and a US military Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine were directly hit, and these submarines were basically 6 nautical miles away.
However, in such a chaotic battle situation, another US military Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine spotted the opportunity and cooperated with the Soryu AIp submarine of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force to launch another attack on the Tianlong. However, the positions they attacked were basically at the extreme range of the Nk48, which gave the Chinese Navy more reaction time than the last attack by the North Dakota.
What is even more different is that this time the Chinese Navy has more escort ships, paralyzed cruisers and Type 096 attack nuclear submarines coming from the water to launch torpedo decoys. However, the US military's Nk48 torpedoes do not yet have the ability to distinguish torpedo decoys. , was directly led off course.
The Z-20 anti-submarine helicopters in the sky would not give these enemy submarines a chance to attack the Chinese navy. A large number of light torpedoes were fired, causing the nuclear submarines of the US military and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force to flee. However, these two submarines were also lucky. In the end, They still escaped the attack and returned safely, but their return also heralded the ultimate failure of the US military's underwater offensive.
When Fargo learned about this situation, he couldn't accept it. He could only continue to increase the pressure: "We are going to send more fighter jets and more attack aircraft until that damn broken ship is sent to the bottom of the sea by us." His eyes immediately flashed. Turn, as the commander, he reacted to more questions, and then he asked: "Are the bombers in Guam ready?"
