Chapter 799
This is not a drill, this is a day of pride
Moreover, no one can guarantee that the next target will be their own Vulture aircraft carrier!
"At a speed of Mach 15, we really have no way to intercept it."
Douglas thought about it and couldn't come up with a good interception method. He could only helplessly say, "Notify them to send one-third of the carrier-based aircraft to take off immediately to support the Enterprise aircraft carrier battle group."
"Yes!"
The communications soldier immediately passed on the relevant combat orders, but not long after, he received news from the Pacific Fleet Command.
"Captain, the latest news from headquarters."
The communications soldier reported the situation immediately.
"Another news from the headquarters?"
Douglas frowned immediately, "Read it quickly."
That’s right, I just received news from the headquarters, and it came again this time. It’s really too strange.
"Captain, the order from the headquarters is similar to that from General Cruz, who is stationed there, requiring us to dispatch carrier-based aircraft to the front line as soon as possible." The communications soldier responded after reading the entire message.
"Okay, report to the headquarters and tell them that we have dispatched carrier-based aircraft to the front line." Douglas nodded and responded.
He finally understood. The two similar orders undoubtedly confirmed that they would continue this conflict until the Longxia Navy was completely destroyed and the only obstacle in the Dongzhou waters was cleared!
If the Longxia tribe did not have the killer weapon of anti-ship ballistic missiles, they would not be able to stand a chance against their aircraft carrier fleet. It would be a sheer act of seeking death.
In their view, as long as they did not fight a land war with the Longxia tribe, it would be easy to destroy the Longxia Navy alone.
"Yes, Captain."
The signalman who received the order immediately responded.
On the other side, in a certain area of the Pacific Ocean hundreds of kilometers away from the battlefield, the USS Carl aircraft carrier fleet was rushing at full speed towards the waters of the Donghuang tribe.
They had also previously noticed the existence of the Dark Sword No. 1 high-altitude, high-speed reconnaissance aircraft, so they immediately dispatched two carrier-based aircraft to intercept it and prepare to destroy it, but they did not expect that the Dark Sword No. 1 would escape.
When Bowensmith learned of the result, he was almost angry to the point of vomiting blood. The duck that was about to be in his mouth just flew away.
Should we say that they are incompetent or that they are deliberately letting the game go?
Moreover, before they arrived at the relevant waters of the East Desert Tribe, a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft had detected their whereabouts. How could Captain Bowensmith not be angry? Who the hell knew how much confidential information that reconnaissance aircraft had obtained?
Even though it was discovered in the first place, the carrier-based aircraft dispatched failed to intercept!
More than ninety minutes had passed, and Bowensmith was still very unhappy. He had no place to vent his anger. As long as he didn't shoot down the reconnaissance plane, he would never get well.
The two carrier-based aircraft that were previously sent out have returned, and the two pilots were called to the captain's office, where they were severely reprimanded and scolded!
Even though the two pilots explained the battlefield situation and that it was because their air force had a conflict with the White Bear Tribe Air Force, which allowed Dark Sword No. 1 to seize the loophole and escape, he was still very unhappy.
He had fought with the White Bear Tribe countless times, both openly and covertly. The one time the White Bear Tribe got the upper hand, it was actually at his hands. If the news got out, where would he put his face? What a shame!
Dark Sword No. 1 has already escaped and cannot be changed, so he has made up his mind. Once he reaches the waters of the East Wilderness Tribe, he will take back his place from the Longxia Navy and wipe them out completely!
"Damn Longxia Navy, I hope you can hold on until we reach the battlefield."
Bowensmith's eyes flashed with cold light and murderous intent, "If you lose before we arrive, I will really look down on you!"
He had learned through the data link that the Donghuang tribe's naval fleet had been annihilated, but he did not feel the slightest emotional fluctuation, as if everything was within his expectations. In fact, this was a matter of indifference, as it was not the Eagle tribe's military assets that were lost anyway.
Besides, the Donghuang tribe’s naval force is used as cannon fodder to consume the Longxia Navy’s weapons and ammunition and create opportunities for them to fight.
Then again, if we talk about destroying the Donghuang tribe's naval power, it is not difficult to do. His aircraft carrier fleet alone is enough and no reinforcements are needed.
Among the three aircraft carrier battle groups, the USS Carl carrier fleet is the most advanced. Almost all of its aircraft are equipped with the latest version of F18 Hornet carrier-based aircraft, which have very strong combat capabilities. There are also several Hawkeye early warning aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft.
Moreover, the combat personnel above have rich combat experience. They have been trained on the battlefield of the Keyi tribe before and have also carried out overseas combat missions in other places.
At this time, the signalman suddenly reported urgently: "Captain, the headquarters has sent the latest combat order."
Any new combat orders?
Douglas frowned slightly, and subconsciously thought of something and said, "Something must have happened at the front. Tell me quickly, what is the order?"
The signalman quickly reported truthfully: "Captain, the headquarters ordered us to immediately dispatch a considerable number of carrier-based aircraft to support the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet. Protect them from being attacked by the Longxia Navy! No mistakes!"
Douglas was still a little confused and didn't understand what was going on.
What does it mean to prevent the Longxia Navy from attacking?
Hasn't the Vulture carrier fleet arrived? A dual-carrier battle group has actually been formed, so the Longxia Navy should not dare to launch an attack.
In any case, the strength of the Longxia Navy has not grown to such a terrifying level, right?
Could it be that something unexpected happened on the front line, causing damage to their aircraft carrier fleet?
More than a dozen thoughts emerged in an instant, making Douglas more and more confused, and the more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed.
"Did the commander give any reason?" Douglas asked quickly.
The signalman quickly took the document and took a look, then reported: "Captain, the command said that the Enterprise aircraft carrier encountered an unexpected situation, and now they need support."
"As for what the specific accident was, it was not clearly stated." Douglas took the document and took a look at it, and found that it only contained the content reported by the communications soldier.
"Okay, I understand. I will send carrier-based aircraft to provide support now."
Douglas handed the document back to the communications soldier and called the deputy captain to issue the combat order.
After the deputy captain left, Douglas sighed helplessly and said, "It seems that Willis has suffered from peace sickness. He is really a worry. It seems that it is right for the superiors to replace them with the Vulture aircraft carrier fleet."
"Continuing to have them carry out missions there will only put us in a passive position."
Of course, he didn't know what exactly happened on the front line, otherwise he wouldn't have said that about Willis.
In fact, even if he was in the position of the Enterprise, the Carl could not escape the fate of being attacked. No matter how advanced it was, it had no way to attack the anti-ship ballistic missiles that had reached a speed of Mach 15.
On the other side is the Navy’s integrated military factory nuclear weapons and missile research base.
In the control hall, after a brief excitement, everyone returned to their work under the leadership of Su Dingping and continued the task at hand meticulously.
"Commander Su, we still have two Yunfan series medium-range and short-range ballistic missiles. Do we need to test-fire them?" After Professor Zhang Qianyi summarized the relevant data, he ran over to report the situation to Su Dingping and asked.
"Of course, all three missiles will be tested today!"
Su Dingping answered straightforwardly, glancing at the relevant data, "From the data, it can be seen that the design of Yunfan-3 has achieved the expected effect. Only minor adjustments are needed to enter the engineering mass production stage."
"Although Yunfan-3 hit the USS Enterprise, the carrier did not sink. If our navy and air force cooperate properly, we can still capture it."
After saying this, Su Dingping suddenly changed the subject, "Our next target is the Vulture aircraft carrier that came to reinforce. Do we already know its distance, location and coordinates?"
The relevant technicians quickly checked the relevant information and reported: "Report, according to the relevant data sent over, the USS Vulture is expected to enter the sea area where our navy can specifically locate it in 24 minutes."
Whether it is the Yunfan-3 or the other two models of anti-ship ballistic missiles, they all have an effective strike range of more than 1,500 kilometers, so the range is sufficient, but positioning with existing technology is a problem. It is necessary to enter the detection range of the 10,000-ton destroyer's phased array radar.
Cao Youren had previously shared the relevant data, so the Natural Science Research Base had some knowledge of the specific movements of the Vulture aircraft carrier.
Of course, there are related satellites in the sky for tracking and aiming, but one disadvantage is that the positioning accuracy is not high.
"The 23-minute countdown begins!"
Su Dingping glanced at the electronic clock on the wall and directly switched his working state to countdown mode.
In other words, the second Yunfan series anti-ship ballistic missile has entered the final 23 minutes of preparation time, and everything is based on this time node as the working standard.
Since the Yunfan series of anti-ship ballistic missiles use solid fuel propellants, they naturally do not require too much time to prepare. The missiles have been erected and are undergoing the final full-system and full-process inspection.
"Yes, Chief!"
Professor Zhang Qianyi immediately accepted the order.
Su Dingping nodded slightly, and then said: "That's settled. If there are any unexpected situations, we will make other arrangements at that time."
"Yes, Chief."
Under the leadership of Professor Zhang Qianyi, the relevant staff members are working at full capacity.
Professor Zhao, Professor Zhang, Guo Xueyun and others in the stands had completely different expressions, and each of them was extremely moved.
They all heard that it was not a military exercise at all, but a real battle. It was a war and a naval battle of unprecedented scale.
The Yunfan No. 3 hit not a target ship but the USS Enterprise of the Eagle tribe. Hitting one aircraft carrier would have been enough, but now the next step is to attack another USS Vulture aircraft carrier.
This clearly meant that they were not going to let the two aircraft carrier fleets of the Eagle Tribe leave the battlefield intact, and were going to wipe them out. In the whole world, perhaps only Su Dingping could do such a thing?
It is conceivable that if both aircraft carriers were hit, it would cause great losses to the Eagle Tribe Navy and what a huge blow to their morale.
After experiencing two precise strikes, I'm afraid the Eagle Tribe Navy is no longer able to fight again?
If this matter were to be spread out, it would have a huge impact on the world, and the other countries would be so shocked that their jaws would drop to the ground.
The Longxia tribe has already mastered the ultimate weapon against aircraft carriers. From now on, neither the aircraft carrier fleet of the Eagle tribe nor the aircraft carrier fleets of other countries will be able to conduct operations near the waters of the Longxia tribe.
Moreover, they all knew very well that as the real head of the naval integrated military factory, Su Dingping would certainly implement what he said. At that time, the Vulture could only pray that it would not be hit, but such prayers would be in vain.
Professor Zhao and others were extremely excited when they thought that they had personally witnessed the power of the special anti-ship ballistic missiles used to attack aircraft carriers.
What excites them the most is that after entering the mass production stage, they will all participate in the research of this anti-ship ballistic missile, which is the unique skill of the Longxia tribe!
What an honor this is! When they are old and enjoy their grandchildren's company and talk about this matter, they will feel honored and proud!
In the excitement, many professors gathered together and discussed in a low voice.
"Ah, if we had mastered such anti-ship ballistic missiles seven years ago, our navy would not have been blocked at the doorstep by the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier fleet. But now, things have changed!"
"The shame of the past was finally washed away by us with an anti-ship ballistic missile. The Enterprise aircraft carrier was hit by us, which was enough to make them suffer. Today, we used our strength to send that damn thing away."
"Humph, after this battle, whoever wants to show off his might at our doorstep with an aircraft carrier will have to carefully consider whether he can bear the consequences of being completely annihilated. It's a relief."
"It's really a relief. Such a good thing must be made public tonight!"
The old professors became more and more excited as they spoke, and their eyes became red. Many of them were secretly wiping away tears.
For them, and as a navy man, this is undoubtedly the most proud day! (End of this chapter)
