.    Chapter 547 The dusk atmosphere is deep

When facing the Chinese Navy, which was once an absolute joke in the history of the world's naval, the extremely powerful US Navy actually had to be afraid of the Chinese Navy.

If this news is spread to the world, it is estimated that the prestige and great image that has just been established in the minds of the people of the world will suffer serious setbacks.

Especially the several special mixed fleets were even more dull. The Chinese expeditionary fleet was much smaller than themselves in terms of quantity, tonnage and momentum. However, such an army that no matter how hard it was, it made the powerful self dare not come forward to fight it.

The Pentagon was also quite surprised after receiving a detailed report sent by Nimitz from a distant Australia. The generals of the Pentagon could not believe that the Chinese actually had anti-ship weapons and air defense weapons that could automatically find targets.

The content of this report on weapons was immediately sent to several scientific laboratories in the United States, allowing scientists to analyze and conduct research, and asked them to come up with targeted solutions or defense plans as quickly as possible.

This time, white scientists who originally despised China's technological power and believed that the Chinese would never be able to create guided weapons are now bleak, and their technological leadership is no longer there.

After letting go of all the emotions in their hearts, such as surprise, shock, shame, anger, etc., American scientists quickly confirmed that these self-guided weapons use radar-guided attacks to work.

Although there was not much debate on whether the Chinese had the ability to reduce and streamline the huge radar reconnaissance equipment and automatic control equipment into such a cylinder, the achievements of the Chinese in radar have made all American scientists know that they have been far behind the Chinese for at least twenty years.

Judging from the damaged vehicle-mounted radar equipment from Germany, none of the radars developed and produced by the United States can achieve the same volume and power and recognition efficiency level, not to mention that the other party can also streamline and reduce the parts and load the components into self-guided weapons.

In addition, to develop this self-guided weapon, a series of scientific and technological innovations such as aerodynamics, electronics, and fuels, as well as the national industrial production capacity.

In the face of the Chinese who may be radar-guided weapons, there is still a way to effectively defend. The first method is to shoot a large amount of aluminum foil outside the fleet's hull for radar wave interference. This method is effective and economical.

But now there are two problems. The first one is that this kind of interference is very simple, but no warship sent out currently has such equipment!

Another is that when American scientists sent the research report back to the anxious generals of the Pentagon, the entire Port Augusta battle had been completed for three days.

"Report, early warning aircraft discovered suspected targets."

He is also a communications officer on the Expeditionary Fleet. The information he conveys during this period always makes everyone constantly stimulate their nerves and give everyone a joyful mood.

"The location is 073, the distance is a bit far, and the weather is no more clear than before, so the reconnaissance distance and effect are somewhat discounted. However, the radar personnel on the early warning aircraft confirmed that this is a fleet! A huge fleet of warships! Only such a huge fleet can allow the early warning aircraft to discover such a huge reflection source from a distance!"

The fleet staff quickly used a special marker to draw the approximate position and distance given by the early warning machine on the fleet's orientation glass plate. On the transparent glass plate, the special light source made the mark on the front of his right look dazzling to everyone.

"Order! Heading 082, the entire fleet accelerates to the 24th quarter. Today we will completely show the majesty of the Chinese Navy!"

The commander's bold statement immediately boosted the morale of all the officers and soldiers of the entire expeditionary fleet. This kind of dignified naval momentum of the great power is the dream that all the naval officers and soldiers of the Hualian have always been in their hearts. Now they finally exhaled their eyebrows.

In the early morning, after a night of pursuit, the expeditionary fleet finally caught up with the US fleet. During the pursuit at night, the early warning aircraft continued to observe and found that this was another huge fleet composed of two special mixed fleets.

Lei Mingze and the staff of the Expeditionary Fleet predict that this is the mixed fleet composed of the second and fourth special mixed fleets to integrate two fleets with no air power.

Although the long-range attack power is not very good, it can have a certain ability to protect aircraft with air defense fire. However, the US military's first special mixed fleet is now missing. Due to the poor weather, satellites and high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft cannot go deeper behind enemy lines to conduct reconnaissance and disappear.

However, through several early warning aircraft investigations over one night, it was found that the first special mixed fleet did not appear in other areas, which made people feel a little relieved.

Everyone is worried that when the weather is bad, the First Special Mix Fleet will pass through the warning area of ​​the Expeditionary Fleet and go to the south to replace the Third Special Mix Fleet to carry out the mission behind the assault campaign circle. If the First Special Mix Fleet really breaks into the rear, it will definitely not be the situation that Chinese commanders are willing to see.

However, Lei Mingze and the others were still over-thinking. In fact, although Nimitz had this idea before, considering the difficulty of implementing it, the plan was finally given up.

It is not impossible to re-threaten the rear of the Chinese campaign circle. It is just that it is too risky to let the first special fleet cross a long distance and not be known by the Chinese.

Furthermore, although the weather has restricted the Chinese's reconnaissance methods, it also restricted the reconnaissance and driving of the US fleet. The weather is fair to everyone, it just depends on who has a greater impact.

"Commander, it's almost dawn."

The fleet staff gently woke Lei Mingze who was taking a nap in the chair in the fleet command room for a while. There were other staff members who also had temporary rest here. These people were unwilling to return to their room to have a sleep. The battle was imminent, so how many people could sleep?

Although the staff officer's voice is very light, for those who are all in a state of sleeping, the content of the staff officer's words makes everyone wake up all of a sudden. It's almost dawn, and it's time to launch a fierce attack on the enemy!

"How is the other side's fleet?" Lei Mingze took the towel handed over by the staff officer, wiped his face with cold water and stimulated his nerves while asking the other party's latest location. He chased after him for a night, don't waste all his efforts because of the other party's temporary change.

"The course has been changed three times, but the other party did not seem to have found out that we existed, and still did not flee eastward. Now it is one hundred and fifty kilometers away." The staff officer answered Lei Mingze's question concisely.

"One hundred and fifty kilometers, the other party has turned back once? It is closer than I imagined." Lei Mingze frowned slightly. In yesterday's scheduled pursuit plan, he was very satisfied with it as long as he chased to around 180 kilometers. However, he did not expect that after a night of chasing, the distance between the two sides is now more ideal than the original plan.

"This has to be thanks to the officers and soldiers in all the fleet's computer rooms. This is the result of their hard work that has not been sleepy all night."

Lei Mingze was very happy and proud of the explanation of the staff. The Navy is a group. It is precisely because of these sailors who are the least popular on the ships who are usually devoted to working hard in the noise-prone computer room that the fleet can maintain a high speed to catch up with the US fleet.

The first commendation in this battle belonged to the sailors in these computer rooms!

"Order Tianlong and Xuanlong aircraft carrier carrier carrier carrier carrier carrier carrier carrier to be put into combat preparations, and the rest of the aircraft carrier attack aircraft are put into combat preparations."

The shrill combat alarm and the content on the broadcast made the ground crew and pilots on each aircraft carrier quickly busy. On the two 50,000-ton aircraft carriers, Tianlong and Xuanlong, a jet fighter and a carrier-based attack aircraft were continuously lifted to the deck through lifts from the hangar below the deck.

Every time the huge lifting platform arrives, the sound of metal collision can be heard by everyone in the entire aircraft carrier. This sound is like a war drum that urges everyone to work hard again and again, making all the officers and soldiers work harder to complete the work at hand.

Loading, filling oil, dividing, traction, acceleration, takeoff...

The elevators put the fighter on the deck one by one. The decking plate used to drain the exhaust gas of the jet engine and to increase the thrust of the aircraft are raised again and again, and put down again and again??????

The aircraft were guided by ground crew members and tower air traffic control personnel, and quickly took off the fighter jets at an average speed per minute.

In the sky, more and more fighter jets form a formation, with bombs loaded on the belly and torpedoes making people feel refreshed. Of course, this is the Chinese's opinion and thoughts. For Americans who are about to see them, these things are terrifying killing weapons that they absolutely do not want to see.

"Commander, the early warning aircraft sent the latest reconnaissance information. The other party just released the reconnaissance aircraft, and its course and speed remained unchanged."

"Very good, help me connect all ships and aircraft's public frequency."

Soon, at the instructions of the communication officer, the entire fleet and attack aircraft group were in a short silence. Lei Mingze picked up the communication machine and said in a loud and passionate voice:

"The Navy soldiers of Hualian, today, we want to witness a historic moment. Our opponent is a huge fleet composed of the second and fourth special mixed fleets of the United States. Their number is six times that of ours and the tonnage is thirteen times that of ours. This is an absolutely terrifying number and the difference in tonnage."

The ups and downs were filled with the majesty of the superiors. In the ears of the Navy soldiers of the China Union of China, they could even hear the confidence and determination in victory contained in it. This was a battle to bet on the dream of a great naval power in China!

"But it is precisely because of this huge difference between us, our Chinese Expeditionary Fleet can remember this battle in history that belongs to our China and to all of us!"

"Because we have to use the absolutely disproportionate quantity and tonnage disadvantage in naval battles, the power of technology and our sweat to defeat such a huge opponent!! The humiliation that the world powers once gave us from the ocean, from today on, we will return it back!"

"Now I order: the attack aircraft group immediately rushes to the opponent's fleet at low altitude, and all missile ships are ready to launch anti-ship missiles! Sink these arrogant Westerners!"

If this naval battle was placed more than ten years ago, the Chinese Navy had no chance of winning when facing such a powerful US Navy, the gap was a huge gap, which was the gap in the country's overall industry!

It is not like the Army, where naval warfare cannot use the passion in the heart and the sacrifice of life to create any victory. This is the best portrayal of a country's overall science and technology and overall industrial strength. This is the Navy!

But now, Lei Mingze dares to challenge such an opponent under such a huge number and tonnage gap. What supports him with such confidence is given by the leading advantages in technology, local industrial technology and even military tactics.

With missile ships, a 5,000-ton missile cruiser even dares to challenge several super battleships of the opponent under certain conditions!

Fourteen missile ships that can also participate in pursuit operations quickly launched 72 anti-ship missiles. Each of the four enlarged missiles is nearly half of the number. Because the size of the ship-based anti-ship missiles is much larger than that of the air-ship missiles, it is much stronger in power and range than that of the air-ship missiles.

Second, although the temporary fleet formed by the Fourth Special Mixed Fleet has few aircraft, it firmly remembers the outcome of the Third Special Mixed Fleet. When the sky was white in the morning, the remaining aircraft in the fleet were constantly released and searched and reconnaissance were searched and investigated.

Because fighter jets suffer too much, in order to ensure the air defense combat capability over the fleet, torpedo aircraft and dive bombers are also used as reconnaissance aircraft with naked eyes.

But the commanders of the mixed fleet missed a little bit: the nervousness that has been tense for several days can easily make people feel exhausted physically and mentally.

More importantly, after knowing the end of the Third Special Mixed Fleet, the Mixed Fleet is now filled with a pessimism.

Commanding the last plane to go out for reconnaissance, the fleet aircraft carrier ushered in a moment of leisure. The originally crowded hangar was now deserted on the deck, and several fighter planes were on standby at any time to prepare for takeoff. The remaining space reminded everyone of the injuries that when the pilots were chatting with him and playing cards a few days ago.

But now, there are only scattered fighter jets left in the huge aircraft carrier, and the pilots have either become new visitors to the god of death or new visitors to the Chinese prisoner of war camp.

"Hey, have you heard of it? The Chinese weapons flew faster than the Black Widow. When it flew towards you, you could only see a shadow flying towards you without any reaction. The guys in the Third Special Fleet were killed by the Chinese weapons one by one..."

In the corner of the ship, the leisure sailors whispered to each other's information.

"That's what? I also heard that the Chinese have a weapon that is launched from their warships, and they can find planes in the sky to launch an attack. The speed is faster, and many pilots died on that more terrifying weapon."

"That's, the York I heard of repairs was the York, California. He told me that he had taken down a few shrapnel from the injured plane back. These shrapnel were not ordinary steel balls or irregular shrapnels, but eight-inch-long thin poles and pierced into the airplane's fuselage."

"It was heavy after taking it off and put it in your hand. It was said that it was made of super hard tungsten steel. There was also an aircraft that insisted on splitting it back. Two such slender poles directly rotated and seriously injured the plane. The plane's metal keel was broken two!"

"Well, I've seen the thing you said in York. I wanted to find something to change with him, but the guy in York said he wouldn't change anything. Moreover, I heard those pilots say that the Chinese have a kind of plane, not a propeller-type plane, but a plane that flew fire and air at the tail, which was super fast, and no one of our planes could catch up with it."

"Oh, when I joined the army, the recruiting officer told me that the war could end soon. We could easily win against the little Japanese devils and Chinese monkeys. The most important thing is that after I joined the army, the state could pay a portion of the cost of going to college, so I signed up. But he was only half right. The war might really end soon, but I don't know how long I can float on this sea..."

"Yes, the third special mixed fleet can't even support it for a day. Although our mixed fleet is huge now, I bet that 90% of the people are not interested in fighting at all. They just want to be able to leave this place where life is at risk at any time..."

The words of the last soldier who spoke made everyone silent. Few people were able to calm down and be silent before facing such a terrifying and unknown weapon.

"Stop talking, the sir is here..."

The chat that was temporarily pieced together was interrupted by the suspension. Several sailors who were chatting returned to their respective posts or bunks, leaving only the US military commander who came over.

In fact, this US military commander heard what several sailors talked about. As a commander, he had the obligation and responsibility to stop the spread of such rumors and rumors in private, because such uncontrolled rumors would become more exaggerated and more severe, and the more they spread, the more they would hurt morale.

Doing this will only continuously amplify the fear of the Chinese in the soldiers' hearts, cause unnecessary panic among the soldiers, and seriously damage the fighting spirit.

But he didn't have the heart to care about these things now, because he now felt deeply afraid of the mysterious Chinese weapon that could not defeat the invincible battle.

Among the battleships fled back from the Third Special Mixed Fleet, there was a battleship with his brother serving on it. When the scarred battleships drove past the mixed fleet, everyone was shocked by the terrifying scars on the battleship.

What weapon can damage the former maritime overlord battleship?

Perhaps as some naval seniors thought, battleships can no longer stop the challenges of new warships in future naval battles. This is an era of twilight battleships and a sorrow for the navies of the entire Western countries.
