Chapter 533 Fierce Air Battle

Although many American sailors, especially those anti-aircraft fire point shooters, have been clearly informed that the Chinese "suicide planes" are very fast and can open fire to intercept and shoot at the moment they see them. (Baidu search, watch the latest update of this book)

But even if I am used to seeing it on weekdays, I am used to flying the practice machine at a speed of about 650 kilometers per hour to make everyone familiar with this shooting in advance.

But when I first saw a flying object with a speed of about 0.9 Mach, that is, a speed of about 1,100 kilometers per hour.

A special sentence: When it is a group of flying objects with a speed of about 1,100 kilometers per hour...

Many American soldiers were frightened and forgot to open fire...

"Open fire!"

I don’t know which veteran US sailor was the first to react, regardless of whether he aimed the scope at the target and measured it in advance. It would be fine if he fired at sea level!

The sound of fire from the anti-aircraft fire immediately woke up the nerves of other American sailors around him. At this time, he was surprised and he was about to come to God to tell stories. More and more anti-aircraft artillery, heavy machine guns, and rapid-fire artillery fired one after another. The dense rain of bullets immediately formed a terrifying water splash drop defense layer on the water surface in front of the missile.

The first one...

The third special mixed fleet of the US military is not the first fleet to be attacked by a weapon such as anti-ship missiles. It is difficult for the ships in the fleet to be sunk by anti-ship missiles and sinking to rank at the forefront of the anti-ship missiles. However, there is one first one that is truly what the third special mixed fleet does - that is, the first fleet to shoot down anti-ship missiles!

The dense and terrifying rain of bullets formed a metal projectile wall on the journey of the anti-ship missile like dense raindrops. Facing this metal projectile wall, four missiles flying in front of the anti-ship missile group immediately hit the metal projectile wall.

The result of a head-on collision is that the projectile easily penetrates the shell of the anti-ship missile and enters the anti-ship missile body, flips over and transmits kinetic energy. Even if it cannot destroy the anti-ship missile's body structure, the powerful kinetic energy also causes the anti-ship missile to fly stagnate and change its direction and fall on the sea surface or fly up and around in a daze.

It’s a pity that facing the saturated attack anti-ship missile, the traditional air defense firepower of manual fire cannot continue this metal projectile wall. After the sudden and dense interception of the first round of horror, the traditional defense system of manual fire had to face various problems.

The ammunition supply and loading are disconnected, and the fire rates of each other are different, so it is impossible to quickly and efficiently coordinate the air fire density. After the first metal projectile wall was formed, the third special mixed fleet of the US military was no longer able to form such dense air defense firepower to block the anti-ship missiles.

What are the consequences of using anti-ship missiles to attack destroyers and light cruisers escorting the periphery? A high explosion of hundreds of kilograms can directly blow the opponent into two pieces or severely damage the light cruiser. This is what John felt shortly after he saw the Chinese "suicide" weapon raiding the fleet again.

And the few who were shaking more and more directly observed in the last time he hid on the watchtower, John did not have to shrink and look at the anti-ship missiles rushing towards his fleet, but instead recorded the entire maritime battle with his eyes and heart.

This is definitely not a comfortable thing for a lookout to appreciate the sudden heavy blow of his fleet, which caused the entire Australian and American coalition fleet to be severely damaged. Peripheral ships are constantly hit, and occasionally some missiles pass through the defense circles outside the fleet and the ships fly into the inner circle.

In the past, the air defense firepower that could communicate with each other and coordinated became like a sieve under the opponent's high-speed raid. The loopholes that were riddled with holes easily allowed the opponent to break through. In particular, the distance between the ships and ships maintained to ensure safety in driving and adjust the formation when suddenly attacked is easily the best area for the opponent's suicide weapon to pass through.

Now the defense circle on the right side of the fleet has been turned into a ruined wreckage area full of smoke and is full of ragged ships. (Baidu search, watch the latest update of this book) John roughly estimated that at least more than a dozen ships have been attacked now, and some suicide weapons broke through the outer defense circle and broke into the inner circle of the fleet.

Two cargo ships carrying heavy equipment from landing troops have become the first choice for Chinese suicide weapons due to their huge size. The hit ships were emitting thick smoke, and some of the hit ships lost their power and are slowly slowing down their speed. The ships behind began to change their channel to avoid self-damage caused by collisions.

But this is not over yet. Because the ships in the outer defense circle were severely damaged, the two "best" destroyers each suffered at least two anti-ship missiles. The warships that were bombed into several segments and other damaged peripheral ships now have almost no more air defense capabilities. The anti-ship missiles behind them rushed in through the fleet's gap as if they were entering a no-man.

"Open fire!"

"Open fire!"

This sentence in English is the phrase with the highest frequency of shouting in the entire third special mixed fleet. When the outer escort ships were severely damaged and lost their defense ability, the ships in the inner circle of the entire fleet already knew that they had lost the first barrier.

All ships were mobilized, and now they don’t care whether they were warships or not. As long as they were loaded with machine guns, all ships with anti-aircraft guns opened fire at the gap.

Whether it is the God of the West or the Gods of the East, there is a kind of person who is favored, that is, those who work hard and love to make a fortune are favored.

When the last anti-ship missile hit the last "lucky man" ship, the entire fleet can finally take a breath and slow down for a while.

From the sound of the alarm to the last round of ammunition being fired, in less than three minutes, the entire fleet was like a terrifying journey from heaven to hell. In three minutes, strictly counting, it would be 169 seconds, and in one hundred and sixty-nine seconds, twenty-seven ships were severely damaged by Chinese suicide weapons.

The number of casualties is being counted. Although Lieutenant General Kincaid was mentally prepared, he never expected that the Chinese weapon would be so powerful.

It can no longer be said to be a suicide weapon. Before the pilot of a US military aircraft finally accelerated, he tried to catch up with the other party and shot down such a weapon, but his efforts ultimately failed.

The anti-ship missile cruised at a speed of 0-point Mach is very subtle, and it flies at a speed of about 730 kilometers per hour, which is exactly the ultimate flight speed of most propeller aircraft.

To get close to this speed, not only the flight altitude, air density, but also the aircraft's own performance, even the new and old fuselage, the amount of fuel loaded inside and outside the fuselage, and the length of acceleration distance can make it difficult for aircraft close to the flight speed limit to increase the speed of each kilometer.

Although this weapon was not able to be shot down, due to the fact that it was not too much speed difference, the US pilot clearly saw that there were no people in front of the Chinese weapon. On the blue and white spray, there was only a pattern like a pilot in front of it. This weapon was used to work in another way to find the target...

However, Lieutenant General Jinkaid, who received this news, did not feel much joy. Now that this weapon has ended this round of attacks, the fleet can finally take a breath and readjust, the Lieutenant General knows that the escort fighter jets of his fleet are now facing two choices.

Due to the large number of fighter jets on the other side and the performance of the aircraft is advanced than that on our own, the fighter jets in charge of interception are now suffering a lot of casualties. To solve the current dilemma, one is to continue to send more fighter jets to reinforce, and the other is to immediately let these fighter jets evacuate from the battlefield quickly and return back on their own.

However, this is quite difficult to do. The opponent can easily follow behind to fight in the air with speed, and not many aircraft can escape the opponent's annihilation.

After a brief dilemma, Lieutenant General Kincaid decided to give up his own fighter fleet that was now strangling with the Chinese fighter fleet and not send more reinforcements to reinforce, because the Lieutenant General knew that the Chinese had no subsequent aircraft to take advantage of the chaos to attack the fleet. It must have its intention.

The purpose of this is very obvious. The other party also knows that the overall defense line cannot be damaged by the results of this wave of unique weapons. Although the outer defense line was quickly destroyed, the entire fleet still has quite powerful air defense capabilities against traditional aircraft. If the Chinese want to use torpedo machines and dive bombers to attack the fleet, the Chinese will suffer huge losses!

Now the Chinese have no subsequent planes to follow up, so they must have wanted to use this strange weapon to attack and expand the wounds of the fleet.

It is now clear that the Chinese are not man-controlled by humans, so there is no reason why the Chinese do not continue to use this weapon to cause greater harm to themselves.

In this way, it means that the fleet will suffer from such saturation-indiscriminate attacks in the second and third rounds. No matter what working method this weapon uses to search for targets, one thing is very important, that is, this weapon also needs to be carried by the hen to use within range.

Now our side lacks checks and balances and confrontation methods when facing such weapons, but as long as we grasp the range of the opponent's missile attack aircraft on the ship, we will also have the opportunity to give the other side a severe blow.

The Chinese's missile attack aircraft against ships also lack self-defense protection methods, and the Chinese must need to escort fighters, which is why the Chinese are now desperately killing the fighters they have sent.

Without intercepting the opponent's fighter jets, it means that you can only be in a passive situation where the opponent's weapon is beaten. One saturation attack will kill one-tenth of the entire fleet. If you come so many times, the result will only be worse.

The aircraft group intercepted in the front is in a bad situation, but this is the trap and bait that the other party attracts themselves to send more fighter jets. If they send subsequent reinforcement aircraft groups to strangle, although many of the fighter jets in the existing aircraft group in front can be restored to come back, what if the Chinese take the opportunity to attack the second wave of ships at this time?

give up!

Only by abandoning the more than 40 fighter jets in front and using the sacrifices of these more than 40 fighter jets to consume more fuel from the opponent's fighter jet fleet to force them to return, and at the same time accumulate the number of existing fighter jets. Only in this way can one have more aircraft to intercept the hen fleet when the opponent is facing the second wave of attacking that kind of weapon.

After confirming his own ideas, Lieutenant General Kincaid ordered the existing fighter jets in front to continue fighting with the other side and consume as much fuel as possible. At the same time, he ordered other attack aircraft in the fleet, dive bombers to take off as replacement reconnaissance aircraft, and the fighter's peripheral reconnaissance missions, and widen his eyes to search for the other side's second wave of attack aircraft.

As for the escape at a fleet speed of less than fifty kilometers per hour, can it run a plane that easily exceeds four or five hundred kilometers per hour?

"The other side did not send more fighter jets to reinforce. Repeat, the other side did not send more fighter jets to reinforce!"

Seeing the last US fleet fighter jet being shot down from the sky, Li Chengbi, the captain of Fei Lian's team, who had been in the sky, sent a confirmation signal to the early warning aircraft high in the sky.

In fact, whether an early warning aircraft is sent or not can be seen from its own radar, but the machine is dead and humans are alive. Many times, humans are more reliable. Besides, a brief communication is not difficult.

"Received, please continue to keep a distance from the other party and apply pressure." At the front-line combat command center on the early warning aircraft, the commander quickly gave subsequent mission orders.

In the escort fighter group that received the order, those propeller aircraft, some jet fighters, and powerful attack aircraft used to interfere with the opponent's radar began to return. Since the opponent has not taken the bait, these aircraft will have no more effect when they stay here. It is better to return and refuel and mount new ammunition before going back.

At this time, a very interesting scene appeared in the sky. Since Lieutenant General Kincaid did not send fighters to intercept the remaining fighters for the Chinese military to expel the ship attack aircraft, the remaining Chinese fighters were all aircraft that did not take air combat before.

The fuel stored in the fuselage can also support the arrival of the second wave of attacks, so the fighter jets of these two teams have been appearing in the radars of both sides more than 50 kilometers outside the US fleet.

But this humiliation has to be endured. The Chinese want you to send fighter planes to die. Many US fighter planes have already fallen to the bottom of the sea to prove the strength of Chinese planes. There are not many fighter planes in the two teams, but if you want to drive the other side, you have to send at least twice as many fighter planes than them to fight.

If you are too young, you will go to die. If you are too young, the other party may not fight with you. You can directly deal with you with speed. After you tease you almost the same, it may be the time when the second wave of missile frenzy comes to attack.

For the first time, Lieutenant General Kincaid, like many US commanders, deeply felt the powerlessness for the first time. This feeling of powerlessness was caused by the other party's inability to deal with the challenge.

"Report, Commander, the other party has not taken the bait, the bomber is loading the second wave of attack ammunition, the Military Region Command ordered the implementation of the second plan!" The latest information sent from the early warning aircraft was delivered to the fleet commander Lei Mingze on the flagship Tianlong aircraft carrier of the Expeditionary Fleet.

"Didn't you take the bait? Then it seems that the young men have more work to do." Lei Mingze smiled slightly, as if the other party was not taking the bait or not. "Order the fleet to accelerate, increase the head-on wind power to the direction of the wind, and release the second wave of attack fighter jets and escort aircraft at high speed! Tell the young men that it will depend on you to attack the third special fleet of the United States!!"

The combat sirens resounded over the expeditionary fleet with the orders. Many pilots in the aircraft carrier pilot lounge and combat mission conference room quickly trotted out, boarded their own fighter planes, and continued to take off quickly under the command of ground crew members.

Fighters, torpedo planes, high-speed dive bombers, naval versions of attack attack aircraft, jet fighters, attack aircraft, and various aircraft quickly took off, flying towards the third special mixed fleet in the US military fleet south while gathering.

On several temporary airports on the west side of Port Augusta, the ground crews here also refueled the returned bomber group at a high speed of tempering and loaded various types of ammunition. This wave of attack not only required anti-ship missiles plugged in the bomber's wings, but also loaded air bombs in the cabin for high-altitude bombing.

Compared with the second attack, the first wave of attack can only be regarded as an appetizer.

The second wave of attack did not interfere with the radar of the US Third Fleet, and whether to interfere or not is no longer effective. Apart from the first wave of return flights and refueling, the number of second wave of attack aircraft reached 330.

The huge number of more than 300 aircraft directly made the radar soldiers of the Third Fleet thunder. Although this number is not the largest, anyone who knows it knows that the fleet will not be sent out at once, but will appear one after another. After this wave, I don’t know how many aircraft there are still.

When he discovered the fleet of aircraft attacked by the Chinese Air Force, Lieutenant General Jinkaide did not hesitate and directly sent out all types of fighter jets in the fleet. In order to increase the advantage of the number of aircraft groups, he even sent some faster torpedo aircraft and attack aircraft to intercept them, even if they were charging, they would interfere with the other side!

In the order, the Lieutenant General clearly required the aircraft pilot. The performance gap between the two sides of the aircraft is too large. The Chinese tail jet aircraft firmly occupy the upper hand in air combat. In air combat, strangulation with the Chinese aircraft is definitely mostly failure. Therefore, the primary target of attack by each aircraft is those hens carrying strange weapons. In any case, more Chinese attack aircraft must be shot down.

Lieutenant General Kincaid's idea is beautiful, and American pilots also know what the consequences are if they do not shoot down the Chinese hen, but is the Chinese escort fighter a decoration item? The first wave of air combat just now clearly told the Americans that the Chinese fighter jets are terrible!
