    The fourth US surface ship squadron did not wait for the Chinese battleship Liu Rengui. Instead, it waited for a large number of J-14CN fighter jets from the Chinese naval aviation. Because the intelligence power in the theater was already in hand, it almost entered the range of the anti-ship missile.  These fighter planes dropped air-launched YJ-2 and YJ-20 missiles directly.  In order to take into account the stealth performance of the J-L and its multi-purpose strike capabilities, the Navy has developed a stealth anti-ship missile similar to the YJ-15 for this medium-sized fifth-generation aircraft, which can be loaded into its small built-in magazine.  .

    The YJ-20 has a short range of only 20 kilometers, but it has excellent stealth performance and can reach a flying speed of Mach 6. The J-L can carry only two pL-10 medium and short-range air-to-air missiles.  Carrying two such missiles can achieve a certain anti-ship capability.

    Similarly, the U.S. military's air defense missiles also have strong air defense capabilities at a distance of more than 100 kilometers. Although they are weaker against stealth aircraft, those Tomcat fighters, whose stealth capabilities are difficult to significantly improve, are like  As bright as a torch in the night sky.

    The U.S. military¡¯s standard anti-aircraft missiles continued to be fired into the air from surface ships. Chinese pilots also tried their best to counterattack and dodge. However, several fighter jets were still shot down by the U.S. anti-aircraft missiles.  Of course, it is more difficult for the US military to defend against anti-ship missiles launched by China.  Especially the YJ-20 missile with a small range but good stealth. Even when the US military discovered it, it was almost within visual range. The active radar guidance of this new missile will not trigger the US military's warning system because it uses  Guidance radar has the function of echo deception. In many cases, the enemy does not even know the existence of a missile after being hit.

    If it is discovered late, the reaction time will be short. The US military can have a good counterattack probability against YJ-2, YJ-18 and other missiles based on its newly loaded program. However, in the face of YJ-2E and YJ-15,  Missiles seem a bit overwhelmed.  Although a single YJ-20 missile is basically impossible to sink any 5,000-ton warship, it is enough to severely damage these warships. After multiple hits, the hit enemy ship cannot escape the sinking  destiny.

    Seven ships of the US Surface Ship Squadron Four were eventually sunk by anti-ship missiles, and one of them was sunk by a submarine-launched anti-ship missile launched by a nearby Chinese AIp submarine.

    After the Jilin aircraft carrier battle group defeated the U.S. surface ship intending to contain the Chinese battleship Liu Rengui, it continued to pursue the U.S. dual aircraft carrier fleet escaping to the southeast from another direction.  China's HNA fighter jets continued to take the lead and pursued the US aircraft carrier.

    At this time, there were not many fighter jets left on the USS Constellation and USS Ford aircraft carriers, and only thirty of them were capable of combat. There were not many Chinese fighter jets, with less than fifty fighter jets participating in the pursuit.  The US military could only send out these remaining fighter jets to counter the pursuit of Chinese fighter jets, because the fastest naval ships can only run is thirty or forty knots, but these aircraft can travel at supersonic speeds.

    This is how the last air battle broke out in the Battle of the Solomon Islands. The originally strong fighting will of the US military had sunk to its lowest point by this time. The emergence of Chinese battleships, the siege of the entire Chinese navy, and the continuous losses in the battle, made US pilots  They were no longer able to perform at their highest combat status. Even their opponents, the Chinese pilots, had been fighting for many hours and were exhausted and in poor condition.

    Both sides in this air battle were poorly fought, but China¡¯s Hainan Airlines performed slightly better. All thirty US carrier-based aircraft were shot down, while China only lost six fighters.  That is to say, after China's HNA completely annihilated the carrier-based aircraft formation of the US dual-carrier fleet, HNA's combat capabilities basically disappeared.  Although pilots have been rotated and the US fleet has suffered heavy losses, the frontline command has determined that it is no longer realistic to use HNA to continue to threaten the US fleet.  All fighter jets were simply recalled, and the carrier-based aircraft unit reserve team on standby at Rabaul Base was quickly rushed to take over the strike operation.

    At this time, the main attack force of the battle has been completely handed over to the battleship Liu Rengui. Although the battleship Zhou Yu is also in the battle zone, it is in Port Moresby on the island of New Guinea and will not be able to participate for a while.  Come to the fight.

    In the final stage of the battle, the Liu Rengui and Tianying, which maintained high speed, caught up with the main U.S. fleet and entered within visual range to begin bombarding U.S. and NATO allied ships.  The reason why they entered the visual range for the attack was that the US military was trying its best to escape. It was difficult to correct the trajectory of the electromagnetic gun-guided shells while traveling at high speed, but within the visual range, this problem could be ignored.  Therefore, the Liu Rengui and the Tianying took the risk to enter within visual range before attacking the US fleet.

    The aircraft carrier USS Constellation, which is slightly closer to Liu Rengui, has become the main target of Liu Rengui's attack. UlØ­ Baitian's 40Umm electromagnetic guns are all aimed at this US military Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier. The other plane, the USS Constellation, will be decommissioned next year.  Obviously, due to the outbreak of war at this time, the US military will not decommission this aircraft carrier, and even several Forrest-class aircraft carriers that were previously decommissioned and sealed.All ships must be refitted and then put back into active service.

    The U.S. military is also helpless. The Chinese navy has severely damaged them one after another, sinking and even capturing many aircraft carriers. Fighters can be rebuilt relatively quickly, but aircraft carriers will still take two or three years even if they are faster. Although the newly built aircraft carriers are better, they will not be able to maximize the number of aircraft carriers.  The residual value of waste is also beneficial to the war situation.

    It's just that the veteran aircraft carriers that the US military has retained and have not retired have reached the last node of their lives. Only one of the six guided shells of the Shiratian heavy electromagnetic gun missed, but it was also a near-miss.  Three of the five rounds hit the aircraft carrier's flight deck, and two rounds cut off a large piece of the entire bridge. The power of just one round of shelling made the once arrogant aircraft carrier of the US military so embarrassed.

    But after all, it is an 80,000-ton heavy aircraft carrier. It suffered six rounds of 40UmmR spoon heavy guns, but it was not directly sunk like those 10,000-ton warships. However, it was hit by a shell that penetrated through the deck.  The aircraft carrier's power cabin and boiler exploded just now, causing the speed of the Constellation aircraft carrier, which was originally traveling at high speed, to drop to 10 knots.

    However, all US warships within visual range, including the artillery of the Perry-class frigate, can hit the Chinese two-ship combination.  Several bold frigates of the US military even used standard-l anti-aircraft missiles as anti-ship missiles, aiming at Chinese ships and firing them directly, regardless of whether they were accurate or not.

    The lethality and penetrating power of these anti-aircraft missiles are definitely not as good as regular anti-ship missiles, but they cannot withstand such a swarm of attacks, and even with the complex and complete close-in defense system of the General-class battleship, it is difficult to deal with so many anti-aircraft missiles and naval guns.  Hard work.

    The captain cannot yet activate the Iron Curtain system, because although the Iron Curtain is activated, even nuclear bombs cannot knock down her defenses within three minutes, but at the same time, ships within the Iron Curtain cannot attack any targets outside the Iron Curtain, so it seems a bit awkward.  It's useless, and it's more suitable to be used when you're under siege and waiting for friendly forces to come for reinforcements.

    However, with the thick armor of the arsenal ship and battleship, there is no problem in resisting a few shots of the 2E UmmR Otto Melara naval gun, let alone the battleship Liu Rengui before they cause any real damage to the two giant battleships.  It can sink them directly.

    After a fierce bombardment of the Constellation, the Liu Rengui divided the bombardment among the destroyers and frigates who wanted to block them, and these "little ones" had no chance against the terrifying heavy electromagnetic cannon.  At the same time, the Skyhawk seemed to be inspired by the American frigates, and regardless of the difference in missiles, used the anti-aircraft missiles on the ship to swarm those ships that bombarded them.

    "Sonar detects the torpedo approaching, number 6 is ready to launch torpedo hydroacoustic decoys"

    In the past, China¡¯s arsenal ships suffered a lot because they did not carry fish bait, and because the battleships are close combat warriors, it is unimaginable without this kind of amulet.  A small water sound decoy can imitate the water sound emitted by the battleship, directly guiding the torpedoes to abandon the battleship and attack the decoy, eliminating the danger of being attacked.

    That is to say, when the Chinese two-ship combination continued to abuse the US military and other NATO allied ships, Fargo once again made a heroic choice, leaving more than half of the ships to fight the Chinese battleships here, while the Ford nuclear  The powered aircraft carrier only carries two destroyers, a cruiser and a frigate, and a nuclear submarine to leave the war zone as quickly as possible.

    While the Chinese battleship Liu Rengui was going on a killing spree, it could not even bother to intercept the fleeing USS Ford. Moreover, the battleship had basically reached the limit of its attack. The Hakuda electromagnetic gun was an extremely sophisticated and complex weapon. It had been going on for such a long time.  If the battle doesn't stop, something will probably go wrong, and then it won't necessarily be who is fighting whom.

    But in any case, the dozen or so naval ships headed by the Constellation abandoned by the US military are now finished.  After the Constellation withstood three consecutive rounds of shelling from the Liu Rengui, it was finally badly damaged and the entire hull tilted toward the bow.  Everything on the flight deck slid toward the sea, and half an hour later, the Kitty Hawk-class aircraft carrier completely sank in the waters of the Pacific Ocean.

    Buried with her were more than a dozen destroyers and frigates from the US military and the Sea of ??Japan. Because the power of the Shirakata electromagnetic gun was so powerful, many sailors even died directly in the shock of the shelling. Thousands of NATO officers and soldiers were killed here.  He was killed in a naval battle, and only the USS Ford aircraft carrier battle group successfully escaped.

    So far, the Battle of Solomon Islands has come to an end, and the Chinese Navy has once again achieved an impressive victory.
