Chapter 794
: Hitting the aircraft carrier, the Eagle Tribe was helpless
In any case, the Eagle Tribe has several aircraft carrier fleets stationed in the waters of Dongzhou!
Their existence is like a sharp sword hanging over the heads of the Longxia tribe, always putting the country in danger!
This is what they have never wanted to do, and they have been trying to find a way to move the aircraft carrier fleet away. However, they are also very clear that they cannot repel the enemy's aircraft carrier fleet with just words, and they can only rely on hard power and fists to drive the enemy out.
The success of the naval plan means that the sword of Damocles has been forcibly broken, so that it no longer poses any threat to the Longxia tribe.
In other words, this threat has been reduced to the lowest level.
Finally unable to suppress his excitement, Ambassador Chen moved closer and asked tentatively, "Can you reveal some details? Let me have a general idea."
Fearing that the other party would not say anything because there were outsiders here and it was not a confidential meeting room, Ambassador Chen quickly added, "This is a confidential meeting room, and there are no outsiders here."
Xu Dongguo looked around, then looked at the other foreign affairs staff, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Well, I'm not keeping you in suspense, but I really don't know the details. I need to go back and find out."
"After I know the specific situation, I will reveal more details to you."
Even though it was just a little bit of information, it shocked Ambassador Chen and others beyond words.
Using ballistic missiles designed to hit fixed targets to attack an aircraft carrier is really crazy and amazing. It is such a creative idea that they actually successfully hit the aircraft carrier.
The key point is that this ballistic missile is not equipped with nuclear weapons, which is amazing and incredible.
With such a powerful weapon, the waters near the Longxia tribe will become a restricted area for the Eagle tribe's aircraft carrier fleet. If you enter without their approval, you will be at risk of being sunk.
It can be said that the Longxia tribe has already mastered the killer weapons and equipment to attack aircraft carriers, which is enough to make them more confident and they no longer need to compromise in future foreign affairs negotiations!
Knowing the urgency of the situation, Ambassador Chen had no intention of keeping Xu Dongguo: "Okay, be careful on your way."
After Xu Dongguo hurriedly left the Ministry of Foreign Affairs building, he took a special car directly to the Navy Headquarters Base in Beijing.
At such an important and critical moment, he was not on the scene to command the battle. Naturally, he did not have more information at the first time. He couldn't help feeling a little regretful, but as a revolutionary soldier with different division of labor, he was happy to be able to delay the Eagle Tribe and win fighting time for his side.
His first priority now is to rush to the Navy Headquarters as soon as possible to learn more information and prepare for the next challenges.
On the other side, above the sea area related to the Donghuang tribe, in the main control room of the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet.
The place was in a mess, with papers and objects scattered everywhere. Many people had blood on their foreheads, faces, and arms, which were caused by them falling from their battle positions.
There were many shattered glasses from hanging windows scattered on the ground. It was a tragic scene. Even many computer screens were shattered.
Even now, Captain Willis could still feel that his uniform was soaked with cold sweat from fear, and he was shivering uncontrollably.
If there were no operators around, he would have wanted to collapse in his chair to relax and calm his inner tension.
Just now, when the Yunfan-3 anti-ship ballistic missile broke through the last air defense firepower network, he had even thought of his last words, but he had not had time to write them down.
That short 0.2 seconds could be said to be a split second between life and death, and his mind was like watching a movie as he replayed his entire life. Of course, it was only a momentary scene, and then he began to quickly compose his last words.
Naturally, his last words would not be too long, just a few dozen words, because he did not have the time to think of too much or too long. He just wanted to prove to the world that he had been there.
At that moment, he felt that being alive was the best and most hopeful era, but it was a pity that it no longer belonged to him. He even swore that as long as he was lucky enough to survive, he would cherish every day of his life.
As for the operators, including the deputy captain, almost all of them gave up struggling and chose to wait for death.
They knew very well that the last line of air defense interception network had been broken. All they had left was to withstand the incoming ballistic missile, which was attacking from above. In the end, the radar could not detect its existence at all, as it went directly into the radar blind spot.
Almost everyone was thinking about which cemetery they would be buried in after they died, becoming a pile of yellow earth forever. If they were blown up so badly that even their bodies could not be found, they could be buried with the dog tags hanging around their necks. There should be something left in this world, right?
Before, they had been deceiving the Soviet Union, saying that aircraft carriers were living coffins on the sea. As a result, the other party believed it and never developed aircraft carriers. However, they took this opportunity to develop aircraft carriers frantically, and finally evolved them to use only nuclear power, with a tonnage of up to 100,000 tons!
But they didn't expect that such a curse would fall on their own heads. They were hit by a ballistic missile. If they were to speak out, it would be really embarrassing. They also set a precedent in history, becoming the most shameful page in the history of the Blue Star War, and it cannot be changed!
Just when they were ready to meet God, they didn't expect that the ballistic missile that hit the aircraft carrier was not equipped with a nuclear warhead, but was just a conventional ballistic missile.
Without nuclear weapons, the power of a natural explosion would not be that great, let alone destroying an entire aircraft carrier fleet.
Even so, the Yunfan-3 ballistic missile that dived down from above had such huge kinetic energy that it directly penetrated the deck. When it touched the second-floor hangar deck, a violent explosion suddenly sounded.
The fighter planes on the first deck were overturned by the violent shock waves and explosions. Many of them were even blown directly into the sea. As the fighter planes collided with each other, there were continuous explosions, flames shooting into the sky, and thick smoke billowing.
Even those that were not damaged were swallowed up by the explosion. It was so tragic!
As for the fighter planes in the hangar, they were all scrapped and a raging fire broke out. Many people died on the spot. Even if God came, there was no way to rescue them.
It can be said that the USS Enterprise has been scrapped, and even if it undergoes a major overhaul, it may not be able to recover to its former combat level.
Seeing the miserable and devastating situation on the deck, Willis felt his heart bleeding. He had never thought that his aircraft carrier would end up in such a mess. However, he felt grateful for having survived the disaster, and he was excited to see that many people were still alive.
"Oh my god, I'm not dead? I'm not dead!"
The deputy captain reached out and touched his body all over, extremely happy, "It doesn't carry a nuclear warhead, it's just a conventional missile, hahahaha, we're all alive."
"It is indeed a conventional warhead. Are you all okay?" Willis let out a long breath, glanced at everyone and ordered, "Pass the order down, conduct damage control immediately and check the losses!"
The feeling of struggling on the line between life and death was really uncomfortable! Fortunately, they all survived. However, the ship suffered huge losses, which gave him a headache.
"Damn Longxia tribe, are they trying to scare me to death? Fuck, I almost got scared to death by them. They are nothing like the same kind." After giving the order, Willis cursed and was still very unhappy.
At this moment, he suddenly realized a very serious problem.
Now that the aircraft carrier has been hit by an anti-ship ballistic missile and the deck is severely damaged, those carrier-based aircraft that have taken off may not be able to land at all, and the carrier-based aircraft that have survived and are able to take off on the deck can no longer continue to take off and fight.
There are more than 30 carrier-based aircraft of various types performing air surveillance missions, and now they can only fly to the garrison base or land on the USS Vulture.
After a while, when Willis was about to ask about the damage again, the deputy captain came over and reported: "Captain, the damage has been reported."
Willis asked quickly: "What's going on? Tell me!"
"The deck was damaged over a large area, four catapults were damaged, the second-floor hangar was also damaged, and some of the carrier-based aircraft were damaged..."
The deputy captain pointed out the empty porthole and introduced, "Only a small number of carrier-based aircraft were not damaged, but they are no longer able to take off and fight."
"Can we fix it?" Willis asked quickly.
The deputy captain shook his head and responded helplessly: "Captain, there is no way to repair it by ourselves. We need to go back to the dock to repair it."
His words were tantamount to sentencing the Enterprise to death, and Willis naturally took such a huge loss seriously.
"Fake."
Willis started to curse, "Although the Longxia tribe didn't use nuclear bombs to bomb us, they destroyed the deck and the runway. We have completely lost our combat effectiveness!"
When he said this, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, "But the Longxia people would never have thought that we had already launched 37 carrier-based aircraft to patrol the air in advance, and they didn't completely destroy us."
"As long as we detect the enemy, our carrier-based aircraft can still perform their missions. Call the tanker to provide aerial refueling services for our carrier-based aircraft."
He was glad that he had been very cautious at the beginning and decided to launch as many carrier-based aircraft as possible. He also felt that he had foresight. Now it depended on whether the garrison base could provide aerial refueling services in time.
Aerial refueling is an aerial refueling service provided by air forces of various countries to extend the time fighter jets stay in the air. It can help fighter jets extend their combat time and also ensure that fighter jets do not crash due to running out of fuel.
At this time, the deputy captain continued to report: "Captain, 18 of our remaining carrier-based aircraft were seriously damaged, and 9 fighters were damaged and needed to be repaired. There are 15 fighters left, but they cannot take off and fight because the catapults are damaged."
"Captain, to sum up, we have lost more than half of our carrier-based aircraft. The aircraft carrier has no combat capability and needs to return to port for repairs. If we continue to stay at sea, we will become the target of attack by the Dragon Tribe Navy."
There was one thing he didn't actually say, which was that the Enterprise had become a sitting duck at sea. The loss of equipment just reported was the loss of personnel, which was also a big part and was still being counted.
Even though the Yunfan-3 anti-ship ballistic missile did not carry a nuclear warhead, the damage it caused to the Enterprise aircraft carrier was irreversible and extremely serious, equivalent to a fatal hit!
"okay, I get it."
Willis nodded woodenly, but he felt helpless and very unwilling.
It can be said that this is the most serious loss suffered by the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet since its establishment. It can be said to be extremely tragic and far beyond his expectations.
"Captain, what's next is the most dangerous for us, and we need to be extra careful. In addition, we need to call for the Vulture aircraft carrier fleet to come for support, otherwise, I'm afraid we..." The deputy captain said with great concern.
“I am also worried about unexpected situations.”
Willis's face was also filled with worry. "We have no way of knowing whether the Longxia tribe has prepared a second or third wave of attacks. If the next ballistic missile attack carries nuclear weapons, then our entire fleet will be destroyed."
The explosive power of nuclear weapons is so terrifying that just one 100,000-ton nuclear weapon can completely destroy the entire aircraft carrier fleet, leaving not a single one behind!
It can be said that the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet will be wiped out with one strike!
The deputy captain felt even more depressed and overwhelmed. He sighed and said, "Captain, this is another huge problem. Should we retreat?"
"Hey!"
Willis did not answer but sighed, then said with emotion, "The Longxia tribe actually used a ballistic missile to hit our Enterprise with such accuracy. Has their technology reached such a terrifying level?"
"At first, I thought they had no way of hitting us, but they ended up completely destroying us. Damn it!"
The deputy captain nodded in agreement. He and Willis had the same idea at the beginning.
But no one expected that he would actually be hit. It’s really terrifying when you think about it.
This moment had brought a severe impact on his cognitive level, completely overturning the stereotype that ballistic missiles could only hit fixed targets. Obviously, the Longxia tribe had already made a lot of use out of ballistic missiles.
They knew before that the Longxia tribe was the world leader in missiles, especially in the field of medium- and short-range ballistic missiles, but they did not expect that they could hide so deeply. (End of this chapter)
