Chapter two hundred and sixty-two swords unsheathed
.
It was almost night, and the sunset on the sea showed their beauty to the officers and soldiers of the fleet. However, no one of the officers and soldiers of the Yellow Sea Fleet was in the mood to enjoy this beautiful scenery. Everyone was busy. The deck staff cleaned the deck after the last plane landed while the mechanics in the hangar were busy inspecting and repairing all the aircraft. The sailors in the power chamber were listening to the roar of the turbine shaft engine, checking any abnormal noises made by the transmission construction, and the pipe damage personnel checked the working status and pressure gauge of each pipeline. All personnel were working hard to adjust the condition of each ship in the fleet to the best.
"Have you found the most important target area?" A flight commander with the rank of colonel was anxiously asking the mapper.
In the combat command room, satellite reconnaissance mappers are trying hard to determine which is the most important attack target. Although the giant antennas at the detection station are good attack targets, for those who are well aware of the primary and secondary importance of electronic equipment, those antennas are the second attack targets.
Although it takes a lot of time and steel to build these giant antennas, it will be enough for Japan to blow up these antennas for a while, but it is better to break one of the fingers than to hurt them. As long as the important detectors and electronic engineers in the detection station are fine, rebuilding this important detection station is a matter of time for the Japanese devils.
"Not yet, the Japanese are very cunning, the entrances and exits are set up very hidden, and it is difficult to detect these key units from the sky." The map observer did not shirk the responsibility of his inability to judge the target at all.
"Does the characteristics of judging locations such as roads, wires, dormitories, etc. work?" The colonel was a little anxious. He would launch an attack tomorrow, but so far, only the antenna iron lumps have been found. Can this not make him anxious?
"No, in the past we could find some clues from characteristic objects such as roads, wires, dormitories, etc., but this time it was not possible. The Japanese devils were very cunning. They now seem to have judged the possibility of exposure from the sky, and have made good concealment of these reference objects. Even the wires were buried, unlike before, which was directly hung in the air."
There are many ways to judge the importance of the target from the sky. The first is to look at the road. A traffic-riding road is definitely an abnormal manifestation for a small town. Similarly, a dense network of wires can also expose the importance of wires connecting to the house. If the enemy command cannot find the enemy's command to attack the upright livestock on both legs in the dormitory area for time to escape. However, this time, an invalid warning light suddenly appeared in the previous unfavorable judgment method.
"When was the satellite map of the site taken in this area in the first place?" The flight commander suddenly thought of this question.
"Eight months ago." The mapper recalled the large number of map numbers and time of the land he had observed.
"Can you find it?" The colonel felt a little hope when he heard it.
"No. Because this batch of maps has been handed back." The map clerk replied that the colonel returned to helplessness.
"Can you apply to the rear to retransmit it immediately?" The colonel did not give up.
"No. The radio is silent now."
"Now, what time and place were you able to find the original map of the shooting site?" Since you can't adjust it, you have to use the resources you are currently on hand.
“There are four months ago in the map library.”
"Then use this one taken four months ago to find the differences in the changes from the two maps, and we will find a breakthrough here!"
"Useless land, sir, we have looked for it three times."
"Then look for the fourth, fifth and sixth time again. I don't want my pilots to fly there and just blow up a bunch of iron lumps!! I want my pilots to see the blood-killing beasts!" The colonel unbuttoned the Fengji buttons of his clothes, rolled up his sleeves and spread them out the map, and took the lead in finding the comparison target again.
Just as the mapper and flight commander were carefully finishing the game, the aircraft carrier formation was silently sneaking towards the scheduled attack sea area. According to the scheduled combat plan, the fleet will release all fighter jets in the waters between Dalian and the target, and the defense missions over the fleet will be covered by the Dalian naval aviation corps.
At the same time, the Japanese army also adjusted its ships and naval aviation aircraft after receiving a large amount of radio signals at the detection station. The two cruisers headed to the waters near the South Road of Huanghai and patrolled with the two destroyers patrolling here.
The detection station on the southern Huanghai Road showed great power from the beginning of its work. The Chinese Navy's activities in the Huanghai area are received and detected by the detection station as long as it uses radio. This is a very rare detection equipment for the Japanese army that is not able to equip high-power radar for early warning. At the same time, due to in-depth research on the investment and use of radio detection equipment, Japan's radio technology has also been greatly improved. The source of all this is of course from China. However, as China currently faces the same dilemma, Japan also lacks the mass production capacity of radio products. From raw materials to the production and assembly of electronic components, Japan also has the same shortcomings.
At 5:30 am the next morning, when the sky was just getting a little visibility on the sea, the two aircraft carriers of the Yellow Sea Fleet began to get busy. One by one, one by one, one by one, was transported to the deck by taking off and landing from the hangar with a capacity of ten tons. The weapon lifts also loaded and transported to the top of the deck. The service staff on the upper floor of the deck hung bombs one by one on the attack aircraft's bullet hooks, and the fuel was filled into the fuel tank inside the fighter's aircraft through the fuel pipeline...
At the same time, the pilots were dressed and watched Mo remember the work results of the combat commander and the mapper in the war room. Although the colonel's eyes were bloodshot and red after using his eyes all night, there was a ray of fanaticism and excitement in the red eyes after discovering the target.
"Seventeen prejudices to determine the first key targets on the ground and twenty-six second key targets to attack. Since the Japanese army has sufficient camouflage these targets, all fighter jets should make predictions and observations before attacking to avoid attacking invalid targets. At the same time, since the opponent's ground air defense firepower is also camouflaged, all attack aircraft pay attention to attacking air defense firepower. Good luck!"
After explaining the characteristics of each attack target and the reference objects of the surrounding environment, the colonel gave the final reminder and blessing to these prides of heaven.
At 6:30 in the morning, all fighters were ready and all aircraft were flying
At this time, the aircraft carrier formation heads towards the northeast with the wind, and the speed is advanced to the highest point. The effect of driving at high speed against the wind will give the fighter greater wind pressure before taking off.
"Fighter Squad, take off one after another!"
When the time pointer pointed to 6:35, the first escort fighter took off in the wind. The pilot's skillful driving skills allowed the plane to leave the runway easily before using the nine-degree jump platform of more than 20 meters. The powerful engine made the fighter rush straight to the sky at a high angle of attack to occupy the commanding altitude.
The two aircraft carriers released their fighter jets at a speed of one per minute. Thirty minutes later, all fighter jets were launched. After a brief pursuit formation, the fighter jets took off from behind flew towards the target at a cruise speed.
"The clouds today are a bit thick, which will bring some convenience to our surprise attacks." The flight commander colonel reported to Wen Shuxiang, the commander of the fleet beside him.
"I hope so..." Wen Shuxiang looked at the fighter plane that disappeared into the clouds, put down the Panda brand Type 29 marine telescope made in Yunnan and said in anticipation.
After releasing all the planes, the fleet immediately changed its course and turned toward the southeast. This area is somewhat close to the Korean Peninsula. The Japanese army must have warship patrols in this area. Although the fleet is not afraid of these traditional artillery fleets, once the Japanese navy finds its whereabouts and reports it to the base camp, the air strike will likely fail due to the exposure of the fleet's whereabouts.
After driving southeast for an hour, the carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft flying around the fleet suddenly broke the radio silence and sent a report to the fleet forty kilometers away through a high-power radio communicator.
"Reported that the reconnaissance aircraft discovered a Japanese fleet forty nautical miles away from our fleet, with three ships in number. The model was initially judged as a 10,000-ton cruiser, a light cruiser, and a destroyer. Four Japanese aircraft were also discovered. At present, the reconnaissance aircraft are flying southeast to get rid of the pursuit of Japanese aircraft."
The correspondent's report made everyone pull up, and the distance was less than 80 kilometers forty nautical miles... If you travel at full speed, it would be just one and a half hours... Should you drag it? Or hit it? Everyone's eyes turned to Wen Shuxiang.
"Order the reconnaissance aircraft to fly back with the fastest speed!"
Wen Shuxiang's order made everyone's eyes lit up. Flying back means it will attract Japanese planes to follow the fleet. The commander will not let the Japanese planes fly to the top of the fleet and put a beautiful pose on the Japanese army before letting them pat their butts and walk away... If the commander does not want the fleet to be a model, it means - fight!
"Radar powers on! Cancel the radio silence, and all ships enter the combat state! The planes have been away for an hour, and the aircraft group will fly over the target according to the distance, allowing the Japanese to run and run on the ground. It is difficult to guarantee that they can find more hidden targets!"
Wen Shuxiang's order made everyone excitedly start to convey various combat commands. Soon, a level one combat alarm sounded on all ships. All the personnel finished wearing it and entered the combat post. The guns and cannons loaded, the radar turned on, and the radio immediately transmitted various messages.
Wen Shuxiang's judgment was very accurate. A large number of radio signals suddenly appeared and the Japanese military personnel at the detection station were in a stir. Various vehicles and personnel drove out of the hidden dormitory and rushed towards the workplace.
At this time, the fleet took off the fighter aircraft group just flew over the target group...
The naval aviation will not show how the Japanese army on the ground do it for now, because the attack on the ground is nothing more than dive bombing and then pulling up the dive bombing, then looking for the target and dive again. The gj-3h attack aircraft skimmed over at a low altitude and attacking the exposed ground target, the third one...
The fleet of ships in the naval fleet that lost aircraft escort was very excited. Although the role of the naval fleet is mainly to protect aircraft carriers, any sailor is not expecting the passionate battle to prove that he is a good man in China.
Unfortunately, this passionate battle scene seems to be difficult to achieve in the current equipment of the Chinese Navy...
"The Japanese plane followed my reconnaissance plane, with a distance of 35 kilometers, an altitude of 3800, a speed of 46, and a number of four missile ships asking whether to attack!" The air defense radar quickly reported various data of the Japanese planes following the reconnaissance plane.
"Order the three missile ships not to attack enemy planes for the time being, and wait until the enemy planes approach five kilometers before attacking, and then ask them when anti-ship missiles can be launched!" Wen Shuxiang calmly issued a combat order.
After a while, the correspondent reported to Wen Shuxiang the feedback report of the three missile ships.
"Report to the commander, the Japanese enemy planes have been locked and waited to enter the final five-kilometer launch distance scheduled by the commander. The anti-ship missiles of each ship's "Eagle Strike" have been prepared and can be launched at any time!"
"Order, after shooting down the Japanese fighter jets, each missile ship fired two anti-ship missiles at the Japanese fleet!"
"yes!"
When the order was transmitted to the three missile ships, Jiao Yunguang, the commander of the missile weapon on the ship, immediately jumped up. If it weren't for the ground helmet on his head, he was heavily hit by the ground-based protection against the ceiling of the short missile command room, Jiao Yunguang would probably be the first wounded in the naval battle against the Sun.
"Damn it, it's finally time for our missile soldiers to show their power! There are four enemy planes against Japan, each ship launches two "Mangshan Iron Head" air defense missiles to air targets, each ship "Eagle Strike" anti-ship missiles, each ship pays attention to the target distance is about fifty kilometers, each ship launches two!" Jiao Yunguang excitedly issued combat instructions to the missile launch command room of each ship in the middle and ground, and the missile launchers of the other two ships who received the combat command replied in an equally excited tone that the soldiers raised for thousands of days and used troops for a while. After so long, it's time for us to show our skills on the field.
When four Japanese planes followed the Chinese reconnaissance planes through the thick clouds and saw more than a dozen small dots on the blue sea, these Japanese pilots were excited. This was the main force of the Chinese Yellow Sea Fleet!
However, before the Japanese army was about to send a report to report the latest information to the rear, the three long-standing missile ships finally launched a fatal attack on the enemy in actual combat for the first time.
Six naval tube-mounted Mangshan iron-head missiles broke through the thin tube cover under huge thrust and broke through the air. Six air defense missiles dragged long tail flames and white tail smoke at a high speed of Mach 1.6 per second, like a poisonous snake rushing towards their prey. Four Japanese planes were frightened to panic when they saw six smoke pillars flying in at high speed. This behavior was normal. Even the Soviet pilots were still scared to death when facing the air defense missile for the first time.
Mangshan iron-headed air defense missile hits a very high hit rate, at least without any defense or first experience from the opponent.
It is very high. For air defense missiles, let alone Japanese devils, even the current powers of Britain did not form a concept of missiles. The six missiles accurately exploded when approaching the Japanese plane. Unlike the first missile air defense treatment enjoyed by Soviet pilot Sashenka and his wingman, the "welcome" scenes experienced by these four Japanese planes are even more grand.
After discovering that although the rod-shaped preset fragments have great power to damage the body, the effective distance is slightly closer, the people from the Air Defense Missile Research Institute have reduced the rod-shaped preset fragments in some missile warheads and replaced them with steel ball-shaped preset fragments of the same weight.
This change of increase and decrease did not reduce the power of the missile. Instead, the round steel balls with streamlined bodies joined the damage ranks to increase the killing radius exponentially to a range of 200 meters.
Today, these four unlucky Japanese aircraft have become experimental products for improved air defense missiles. Afterwards, from the wooden destruction of the salvaged aircraft, the light, small, fast and skillful wooden aircraft pursued by the Japanese army was as fragile as a paper-paste house in front of the storm under this blow.
The missile ships that killed four enemy planes quickly launched six anti-ship missiles. This missile was finally decided to be installed after many research and shooting range tests.
The missile is 7.8 meters long, with a maximum beam diameter of 0.7 meters. After launch, the full wingspan is 2.4 meters. The total missile mass reaches 3.2 tons. The maximum range is 150 kilometers. The cruise height is 100 to 300 meters. The flight speed is 0.9 Mach with subsonic speed. It uses inertia and semi-active guidance radar guidance. The final attack distance will drop to about ten meters from the sea surface. The warhead has a plasticized high-explosion weight of 300 kilograms. Once hit by the Eagle Strike anti-ship missile, the plasticized high-explosion power of the 500 kilograms will make the person hit feel the energy of the 500 kilograms of super-explosion power.
On the surface, this kind of missile is a typical example of being stupid, big, stupid and thick, but it has great benefits.
Since the load capacity of aviation vehicles is insufficient and the technology of integrated circuit electronic equipment is not yet mature, the main carrier platform of anti-ship missile ground is large ships; at the same time, since the number of Chinese navy is significantly lower than that of the great powers, anti-ship missile emphasizes "first hit and ensure destruction". If the missile does not have a strong warhead and long-range ground flight distance, the enemy can easily launch a fatal counterattack on the Chinese navy after damaging control. Therefore, the big one has the benefits of a big one. The power of more than 300 kilograms of ground plasticization and high-explosion** can even make it a big one like an aircraft carrier and lose its combat effectiveness.
The distance of fifty kilometers is less than five minutes for an anti-ship missile with a cruise speed of Mach 0.7. Before the distance of less than ten kilometers from the Japanese small fleet, six Eagle Strike anti-ship missiles climbed up to 350 meters again and turned on the radar to lock the target, and then began to enter the final sprint attack process that accelerated to Mach 0.9.
The Japanese fleet's hopefuls are not blind. They stand at the highest point of the ship. Although they have to withstand various environmental tests, as long as they return to the port, these hopefuls can easily get unexpected surprise gifts during rest periods.
"Unknown objects were found on the port side of the sea, with a distance of 4,000!" The conscientious performance of the people gave the Japanese warship some reaction and buffering time, but for missiles that had accelerated to the sprint speed of Mach 0.9, the distance of these four thousand meters left the Japanese reaction time for the Japanese in just over ten seconds.
Before the Japanese ship's air defense personnel turned their artillery and machine guns, the six Eagle Strike anti-ship missiles had already advanced less than a thousand meters. The high-speed raid near the speed of sound made traditional human air defense equipment seem so incompetent. Faced with this speed of raid, even if the air defense fire was fully opened at the last moment, the rain of bullets fell behind the missile ground.
When the first missile penetrated into the largest cruiser with a displacement of 10,000 tons among the three warships, the delay fuse perfectly delayed the missile's explosion until the missile entered the inside of the cruiser and exploded. The 500 kilograms of plasticized high-explosion was perfectly released inside the cruiser, and the body of the cruiser that endured the 500 kilograms of plasticized high-explosion was twisted and broken like fragile paper and bamboo strips.
Before the Japanese cruiser could come back to his senses in the explosion of the first missile, the second and third Eagle Strike anti-ship missiles came to the already very "lucky" cruiser again. The latter two missiles hit the ship + unit. The power generated by the explosion directly destroyed the transmission system of the cruiser. The cruiser that lost power could only let the sea current float around. However, the third anti-ship missile did not allow the "lucky" cruiser to live such a tragic life. The third missile directly drilled into the holes shot out by the first missile, and the second explosion directly detonated the boiler of the cruiser's department. The power generated by the multiple explosions directly created a huge hole in the cruiser's department, and the sea water rushed into the body of the cruiser. Needless to say, anyone who saw the tragic situation of the cruiser would understand that the warship was finished.
The remaining two Japanese warships were so scared that they saw the cruiser's fate. They had seen the miserable ones, but they had never seen such a disabled one...
However, before the two warships turned around and fled the ghost world, the three anti-ship missiles behind them rushed towards them with long tail flames. One of the two Japanese ships was hit by one, and one of them failed to hit the target due to the flight angle problem. However, even if they only hit one, the destroyer less than two thousand tons in the two ships was directly blown into two sections in front of the 500-kilogram plasticized high-explosion**. The entire warship was connected together only by the bridge part, and a large amount of sea water rushed into the inside of the destroyer at the fastest speed. Five minutes later, the destroyer had disappeared on the sea.
Another light cruiser with a larger tonnage resisted the explosion and did not sink directly with its slightly huge body. However, the damage to the boiler system also caused the warship to lose its power. Moreover, the high temperature generated by the explosion ignited the internal facilities of the cruiser, and the thick smoke and high temperature generated by the violent combustion filled the interior of the cruiser.
