Xiao Jianjun nodded with great satisfaction, and said: "Captain Wang's suggestion is very good, although our technology is far ahead of this era, it does not mean that we can win while lying down, we have missiles, but it is not indiscriminate, we still have to use more brains, consider the characteristics of the enemy more, only in this way can we make the best tactical choice, and make targeted tactical arrangements, Captain Wang has made a good example for all of us in this regard." ”

The YJ-83 anti-ship missile is currently the most widely equipped type of general-purpose anti-ship missile in the Chinese Navy, which can be launched from the air, ships, land and submarines, and has now been equipped by most surface warships of the Chinese Navy, including warships such as the Xiangyang and Huaihua, which have been in service for a long time.

The YJ-83 anti-ship missile is relatively small, with a total length of 6.86 m, a diameter of 0.36 m, a wingspan of 1.18 m, a launch weight of 895 kg, and a warhead weight of 200 kg.

The Haihongqi-9 long-range anti-aircraft missile is a ship-based model of the Hongqi-9 anti-aircraft missile, which is a long-range anti-aircraft missile developed by China based on the Russian S300, with large lethal airspace, strong anti-jamming and anti-multi-target saturation attack capabilities, and its performance has been greatly improved compared with the S300. The Haihongqi 9 air defense missile is a wingless missile with a total length of 6.8 meters, a diameter of 0.47 meters, a weight of 1,300 kilograms, and a warhead weighing 180 kilograms. The minimum combat altitude is 20 meters, the maximum combat altitude is 30 kilometers, the minimum combat distance is 6 kilometers, the maximum combat distance is 200 kilometers, and the maximum flight speed is greater than Mach 4.2.

In 2013, Turkey conducted a tender for the purchase of anti-aircraft missiles, and participated in the bidding for the American Patriot 3 air defense missile, the Russian S400 air defense missile, the French Ziguan air defense missile, and the Chinese Hongqi 9 air defense missile. It was only because of the political pressure exerted by the United States on Turkey that this deal was aborted, but it also proved that the Hongqi-9 anti-aircraft missile had entered the international advanced level.

Speaking from general common sense, it is natural that anti-ship missiles are more suitable than anti-aircraft missiles to strike at sea surface ships, and the YJ-83 anti-ship missile is stronger than the Haihongqi-9 long-range air defense missile in terms of range and warhead weight. However, due to the fact that modern warships are thin-skinned and stuffed, and the general armor is not thick, modern anti-ship missiles have abandoned the use of armor-piercing warheads, and the use of semi-armor-piercing and semi-high-explosive warheads is enough to penetrate the hull of enemy ships.

In this era, heavy ship artillery was popular, and battleships were generally equipped with heavy side armor to improve the warship's ability to resist strikes, but this caused a lot of trouble to modern anti-ship missiles, which are anti-ship missiles that skim the sea and fly to attack. Although it is not that anti-ship missiles are completely useless, the combat effectiveness is obviously inferior to the anti-aircraft missiles that use empowerment strikes, after all, deck armor is the weakest point of the armor of battleships, generally only 50-60 mm thick, and no more than 100 mm at most. And even if it can't penetrate the deck armor, it can cause an explosion on the upper deck, causing lethality to the warship.

Therefore, only in light of the actual conditions of this era can we give better play to the effectiveness of various weapons.

After a pause, Xiao Jianjun said again: "In this way, it is decided that the number of our missiles is limited, the use of missiles must be arranged as a whole, and each missile must fully play its corresponding role, so when to use missiles in the battle, what kind of missiles to use, all ships must listen to the orders of the Kunming ship, and are not allowed to decide without authorization, and the Xiangyang ship and the Huaihua ship, the YJ-83 missile launched by your ship must be guided by the Kunming ship." ”

Originally, the Xiangyang and Huaihua warships had a relatively early service life, so the degree of electrical system, radar equipment, and informatization was not high, while the Kunming was the most technologically advanced surface combat ship of the Chinese Navy before it crossed over.

The Kunming is a Type 052D missile destroyer, which is an improved version of the Type 052C missile destroyer, which is known as the China Aegis, and is equipped with a large phased array radar and a general missile vertical launch system that is more advanced than the Type 052C missile destroyer, as well as a data link with stronger compatibility, and the overall combat capability is much stronger than that of the Type 052C missile destroyer, so it is called the second generation of the China Aegis. Its overall combat capability is at the same level as that of the Arleigh Burke II guided missile destroyer of the United States, the Type 45 guided missile destroyer of the United Kingdom, the Horizon-class guided missile destroyer of France, and the Atago-class guided missile destroyer of Japan.

Because the Kunming ship has a powerful data link and command system, it can directly guide the missile launches of the Xiangyang and Huaihua ships, making up for the weakness of the insufficient radar level of the two ships and effectively improving the hit rate of the missiles.

At present, the missiles passing through the fleet are: The Yueyang and Sanya warships are each equipped with eight YJ-83 anti-ship missiles and 32 Haihongqi-16 medium-range air defense missiles; the Xiangyang and Huaihua warships are each equipped with eight YJ-83 anti-ship missiles and eight Haihongqi-7 short-range air defense missiles.

The Kunming is equipped with a total of 64 vertical launch systems, with four eight-unit vertical silos set up behind the ship's guns at the bow and in front of the helicopter hangar at the stern. It can be compatible with all air defense, anti-ship, cruise, land-to-land, and anti-submarine missiles, and realize cold and hot co-frame and one pit and four bomb launch technologies. Different missile configurations can be adopted according to different operational needs, so the number and types of missiles equipped with the Kunming can be more than that of other warships, and they are more advanced.

However, after all, the Type 052D missile destroyer is a type of sea surface warship that focuses on air defense and takes into account multiple functions, so generally speaking, the first 32 units of vertical launch craters are all equipped with Haihongqi 9 long-range air defense missiles, and the last 32 units are evenly distributed as:

The first group of eight units consists of a total of 32 Haihongqi-16 medium-range air defense missiles with four bombs in one pit; together with the Hongqi-9 and Haihongqi-10 short-range air defense missiles on the helicopter hangar, they form a three-layer air defense system with far, medium, and near.

The second group of eight anti-ship missiles is equipped with more advanced technology and more powerful YJ-18 heavy supersonic anti-ship missiles. YJ-18 is China's latest anti-ship missile, with a warhead weight of 400 kilograms, and a cruising flight speed of up to Mach 2.5, and a terminal sprint speed of Mach 4. The overall performance far exceeds the YJ-83 anti-ship missile.

The third group of eight units is the Donghai 10 cruise missile (the land-based version is called the Changjian 10), the Donghai 10 is also known as the Chinese version of the Tomahawk, with a total length of about 6.5 meters, a body diameter of 0.52 meters, a launch weight of about 1.8 tons, a warhead weight of 580 kilograms, a rate of fire of Mach 1.4, and a range of 2,500 kilometers. At the military parade held in China in 2015 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the victory of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and the Anti-World Fascist War, 16 Donghai-10 cruise missile launchers appeared as a third-party conventional missile team and were officially unveiled.

The fourth group of eight units is equipped with one pit and four bombs, with a total of 32 rounds of Changying-5 anti-submarine missiles.

Such a combination of missiles can achieve the operational objectives of air defense, anti-ship, land attack, and anti-submarine balance.

At this time, Xiao Jianjun said again: "The battle plan for attacking Dagukou has been decided, let's talk about the matter here, after the six warships leave, the task of protecting the three ro-ro passenger ships will be the responsibility of the Taihu ship, and the medical personnel on the Changbaishan will all be transferred to the Taihu ship tonight." However, the Taihu is not a combat ship, and this task is not easy, so all the officers and men of the ship should not rest tonight, strengthen their vigilance, and maintain a state of being ready to act at any time. In addition, we will also leave two platoons of marines and two 318 boats to assist the Taihu ship in protecting the three RoPax boats, one platoon is scattered on the three RoPax boats, and the other platoon is each in the 318 boats, taking turns cruising in the surrounding waters. ”

Xie Teng, the captain of the Taihu ship, immediately said: "Please rest assured that our Taihu ship will definitely complete the task." ”

The Taihu ship belongs to the Type 903 supply ship, with a length of 171.4 meters, a width of 24.6 meters, a draft of 9 meters, a speed of 20 knots, a full load displacement of 23,000 tons, a liquid cargo supply gantry and a dry cargo supply gantry in the center of the hull, and a helicopter deck and hangar at the rear of the ship. It can carry both parallel and vertical replenishment, and can carry a total of about 12,000 tons of oil, water, ammunition, food and other materials, and the supply capacity is very powerful.

However, after all, the Taihu ship is only a type of supply ship, and its armament is not strong, and the whole ship is only equipped with four twin 37mm naval guns, and it is not equipped with an attack radar, so it can only cope with low-intensity battles.

The 318 boat was originally a patrol boat of the Chinese Coast Guard, with a total length of 46 meters, a width of 7 meters, a displacement of 200 tons, a speed of 32 knots, and a galley and bathroom on board, which could meet the needs of the officers and men on board for 7 to 10 days of maritime duty. It is also equipped with advanced equipment such as radar, GPS global navigation and positioning system, high-frequency communication radio, global maritime rescue call telephone, and search and forensics system, as well as auxiliary boats and life rafts.

The navy mainly took a fancy to the 318 boats because they were small, flexible, lightweight, high-speed, shallow draft, suitable for coastal patrols, and had a certain degree of self-defense capability. However, the 318 boat is only a police patrol boat, and its armament is not as good as that of the Taihu ship, but it is equipped with a twin 14.5mm machine gun and two high-power high-pressure water guns on the foredeck. Not even a cannon. According to the division of the Chinese army, only a caliber of more than 20 mm can be called an artillery.

It can be said that relying on the Taihu ship and two 318 boats to protect the three Ro-Ro passenger ships is indeed a bit risky. But this is also a matter of no way, because now there are only a few warships, each warship is an indispensable combat effectiveness, leaving that one will greatly reduce the strength of the fleet, fortunately, it is only one night, and at present, it seems that the fleet is still relatively safe, so this risk is still worth taking, as long as after tonight, the fleet successfully captures Dagukou, it will be easy to do.
