Chapter 803: The Longxia Navy is coming, if you don’t run away you will die
Not only did I not get any credit, but I also lost all my face!
After this battle, it is still a question whether he can continue to serve as the captain of the USS Enterprise. Maybe he will be sent to a military court to be punished after returning.
No matter what, the USS Enterprise suffered such a huge loss, and someone will eventually have to stand up and take responsibility, and he will probably end up becoming a scapegoat and the scapegoat!
I am really unwilling to accept this, but I have no choice but to solve the important things at hand first.
"The arrival of three reinforcements has greatly alleviated our predicament. Now I can rest assured."
After thinking this through, Willis turned his head to look at the signalman and asked directly, "Has the air force of the East Wasteland Tribe arrived?"
"Captain, we have not received any news on this matter yet."
The communications soldier checked the relevant documents and said, "Probably... not."
"Houlixie, these are a bunch of useless lackeys. I stood at the forefront for them, but they didn't even show any appreciation." Willis cursed and vented his anger.
At this moment, the radar monitor urgently reported the latest situation.
"Captain, emergency situation. Radar has detected a large number of unidentified incoming missiles 250 kilometers southwest of our ship."
"Speed, Mach 3. The number is being counted, but it's a lot."
After the USS Enterprise was attacked by a ballistic missile, its radar detection system suffered a certain degree of damage. Even after emergency repairs, it was only restored to 240% of its original range, directly shortened to kilometers.
This news really shocked Willis. Before he could be happy for a moment, he discovered an incoming anti-ship ballistic missile with a speed of Mach 3.
Based on the intelligence obtained previously, it can be basically concluded that the Longxia Navy launched attacks on them from different directions, and these incoming missiles had very obvious unique markings of the Longxia Navy.
"Fuck, I was worried that the Longxia Navy might attack me at the beginning, so I sought support from all sides, but I didn't expect them to actually do it."
Willis was extremely anxious. "Damn it, it's what I feared that would come true."
This is not the end yet, bad news keeps coming one after another.
"Captain, according to radar detection, we have detected incoming missiles 249 kilometers southwest of us..."
"Captain, incoming missiles spotted 252 kilometers south-southeast."
After hearing the bad news, Willis felt as if he was being hit by fists from all directions. There were traces of the Longxia Navy almost everywhere, and it was endless.
At this moment, he felt a sudden chill from the soles of his feet that went straight up to the top of his head, and his whole body was chilled to the bone.
Obviously, he just wanted to be on the safe side, but he didn't expect that the Longxia Navy would actually do it. It was obvious that they were going to take advantage of the time when they were hit by the ballistic missiles to launch an attack and completely eliminate them.
This is really too much, isn't it? This is not a joke at all?
Damn it! They now have to fight back from all sides. Missiles are coming from three different directions, and the number has clearly exceeded the saturation attack situation.
Willis turned his head and looked at the radar screen, only to see that the three different directions on the screen were combined, and almost the entire screen was filled with red cursors representing incoming missiles, which made him almost suffer from claustrophobia.
At this moment, the image of the previously detected super-saturated anti-ship missile attack that the Fukuno aircraft carrier fleet had encountered seemed to emerge in his mind.
In that battle, all the anti-aircraft missiles and anti-aircraft artillery ammunition of the Fukuno aircraft carrier fleet were completely consumed. Under such circumstances, it was basically impossible for the Fukuno aircraft carrier fleet to survive.
Compared with the Fukuno aircraft carrier fleet, apart from the huge advantage in the comprehensive combat capability of the aircraft carrier fleet, they have a larger number of ships assigned to them. Currently, the advantages of the aircraft carrier platform have disappeared.
Of course, the first to be hit was not the Fukuno aircraft carrier itself, but its affiliated ships, the fleet that was performing patrol and surveillance missions in the Aleutian Islands.
With the complete destruction of the six warships, the combat capability of the Fukuno aircraft carrier fleet was greatly weakened, and it had no ability to recover at all.
On the other hand, the situation was different on the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet. The other affiliated ships did not suffer any losses, but the aircraft carrier was directly attacked by anti-ship ballistic missiles, which greatly weakened its combat effectiveness and basically scrapped it.
Even if the carrier-based aircraft on it are intact, they have no way to take off and perform missions. In this way, the aircraft carrier fleet loses the combat power support and protection of fighter jets.
If calculated from the overall combat effectiveness, even under this situation, the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet is stronger than the Fukuno aircraft carrier fleet, and has a very huge advantage.
Even so, Willis was still very nervous. Nearly three hundred anti-ship missiles had clearly shown an over-saturated attack trend, not to mention the speed of Mach 3.
If any one of them breaks through the interception network they have built, they will suffer irreversible losses!
In this way, under multiple rounds of repeated attacks, many of the aircraft carrier's affiliated ships will be hit and sink one after another, which will eventually lead to the complete destruction of the entire aircraft carrier fleet.
In the end, it is very likely to become like the Fukuno aircraft carrier, which is still drifting alone on the vast ocean. The Donghuang tribe still dares not send people to pull it back.
The reason for this is, of course, that this stretch of sea is currently still in direct conflict with the Longxia Navy and the Eagle Tribe Navy. The degree of danger can be imagined, so the Donghuang Tribe naturally dares not make any unusual moves.
Moreover, they no longer have available warships to carry out such tasks of towing aircraft carriers, or to dispatch helicopters or tugboats to carry out related operations.
As for the Longxia tribe and the Eagle tribe, they did not take any action either. The reason was that the two sides were in a state of war and naturally would not withdraw troops to receive the Fukuno aircraft carrier.
Thinking of following in the footsteps of the Fukuno aircraft carrier fleet, Willis suddenly felt very unhappy and had the urge to hit someone. He might become the only captain of the Eagle Tribe who caused the fall of an aircraft carrier since the founding of the country. Willis felt that his reputation would be completely ruined and become a permanent shame and negative example in the history of the navy!
Even if he is not sent to a military court, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame, and even his descendants will be humiliated!
"Damn it, when are the promised support going to arrive?" Willis cursed in annoyance.
The signalman quickly checked the relevant information and reported truthfully: "Captain, based on the information from all aspects, it will take at least 20 minutes for the base air force and the carrier-based aircraft from the Vulture to arrive."
"Walter? Another 20 minutes?"
Willis almost vomited blood and said in horror, "Why does it take so long? Are they that far away from the battlefield? Even if they crawl, it shouldn't take that long, right?"
The signalman quickly explained: "Captain, we are 449 kilometers away from them. Even if the fighter planes fly at supersonic cruise, it will take that long."
Hearing this, Willis nodded slightly, and then quickly asked: "How long will it take for the Longxia tribe's anti-ship missiles to arrive?"
After looking at the calculated data again, the signalman replied helplessly: "Captain, there are less than five minutes left."
"Less than five minutes? It will take them another 20 minutes to reach the battlefield. Damn it!"
Willis almost jumped up and cursed, "What do they do? Are they waiting for us to die so they can collect our bodies? What a bunch of bastards!"
At this time, the deputy captain interrupted and said, "Captain, so far, we still haven't detected any trace of the Longxia Navy. They are attacking outside the defense zone."
"I have to say that the Longxia Navy is damned. They actually opened fire outside the detection range of our radar. They are a bunch of damn bastards who took full advantage of our weaknesses!"
"We have expanded the search range to 260 kilometers, but still haven't found any trace of the Longxia Navy. It's as if they disappeared. But this also shows that they should be outside this range. The range of the anti-ship missiles they launched is over 300 kilometers."
After making this inference, Willis felt a great headache, and his heart was beating wildly.
The range exceeds 0.85 kilometers, which is quite terrifying. You should know that the maximum range of the Harpoon anti-ship missiles they are equipped with is only kilometers, and the speed is so slow that the fastest is only Mach.
In other words, compared with the many anti-ship missiles launched by the Longxia Navy, it is not even worthy of carrying shoes.
Their shooting range is less than half of their enemy's, and their speed is less than one-third of their enemy's. How can we fight such a battle? Should we let them use their ships to fight head-on?
Willis knew very well that, let alone the anti-ship missiles equipped by the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet, even the anti-ship missiles equipped by other aircraft carrier fleets had this range.
Of course, this does not take into account the land-attack Tomahawk cruise missiles with a range of more than 1,500 kilometers equipped on their warships.
In terms of ballistic missile technology alone, the Eagle Tribe is still very advanced, and can be said to be unique in the world. Cruise missiles are naturally their specialty.
The Tomahawk cruise missile has a long enough range and excellent ultra-low-altitude flight capability, and can travel through valleys. This makes reconnaissance extremely difficult and reduces the probability of radar detection to a minimum.
But these can only be used to launch land attacks, and to do so, they would have to go into full-scale war with the Longxia tribe, rather than limiting the scale of the conflict to the sea as is now the case.
There is naturally no need to use Tomahawk cruise missiles to deal with the Longxia Navy. As long as no attack is launched on the naval ports, the Tomahawk will become a decoration.
If they can't find the Longxia Navy, then they won't even be able to use the short-legged Harpoon anti-ship missiles equipped on their ships.
This made them very embarrassed. They couldn't reach the target even if they tried to attack. Now all they had left was defense and luck. They hoped that God would bless them.
If they discover any trace of the Longxia Navy fleet, they will certainly launch a large number of anti-ship missiles, making the Longxia Navy the defending side!
They once drove the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet to block the Longxia Navy at its doorstep. They were showing off their might and domineering to the extreme, and severely humiliated the Longxia Navy. But today, the situation is reversed. They have become the passive defender and have no way to launch a counterattack!
Now the script has been completely reversed, causing him great pain, and the entire fleet is in the same pain!
Seven years ago, the Longxia tribe suffered the same pain and grievance.
Seven years passed in the blink of an eye, and now the situation has turned against them, with the direction completely reversed. They are the ones facing life and death!
"Fuck, the damn Longxia Navy is like a turtle hiding its head. Don't they dare to show their heads?"
Willis was so angry that he cursed, "A bunch of turtle bastards, if you show your black ass, I will kill you in seconds!"
"We can't use our anti-ship missiles at all, as we're at such a long distance!"
Even if the aircraft carrier fleet maneuvers at full speed to shorten the distance between the two sides, it will not work, because in that case, no matter which of the three directions it maneuvers from, it will invisibly shorten the distance of the Longxia anti-ship missiles, and they will only be hit faster.
Willis's cursing was not to vent his own unhappiness, but the unhappiness of the entire aircraft carrier fleet and the voice of all the sailors!
Seven years ago, they relied on the powerful combat capability of the Enterprise aircraft carrier to block the weak Longxia Navy at its doorstep and even launched a simulated attack on the Longxia Navy, doing everything they could to humiliate it.
Today, their strength is still the same as before, but the Longxia Navy has made rapid progress in both equipment level and weapons technology in recent years, and has completely transformed from weak to strong.
The consequence of this strength was that in this conflict, they became the passive party being beaten, and the target of severe humiliation was the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet, and Willis's old face!
The times have changed, and this change happened within just seven years. It is really unbelievable. If it hadn't been for personal experience today, neither Willis nor the other sailors on the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet participating in the battle would have believed it!
Suddenly, at this moment, the deputy captain frowned and asked a very fatal question.
"Captain, we still have a huge problem that needs to be solved immediately." The deputy captain reported with great heaviness.
Hearing this, Captain Willis suddenly turned his head and looked at him with a solemn expression.
