Shang Jinfeng said: "Attention to the Ministry of Water Conduction, launch the Haihongqi 9 missile, the target, the battleship Sisoy, the armored cruiser of the Russians. ”

At this time, all kinds of launch data had already been set, so after hearing Shang Jinfeng's order, Zhang Chengbing, the squad leader of the missile squad, said in a deep voice: "Target, the battleship Sisoy, the Sea Launch Red Flag 9 missile, and the target, the Russian armored cruiser, the Sea Launch Red Flag 9 missile, launch." ”

I saw that behind the main gun on the front deck of the Kunming ship, the lid of a vertical launch system box was slowly opened, and with a "whew", a thick missile ejected from the launch box along with the smoke, and it rose more than ten meters high, and the huge reaction force made the huge hull of the Kunming ship tremble. Immediately after that, only a "spray" was heard, and an orange-red flame suddenly erupted from the tail of the missile, bringing out a large amount of smoke, and the missile suddenly accelerated and flew into the sky.

The vertical launch system of the Kunming ship uses hot and cold co-launch technology, while the Haihongqi 9 uses cold launch technology. The so-called cold launch refers to the thrust generated inside the launch box, the missile is pushed out of the launch box, and then the missile is ignited in the air to produce a powered flight, the Soviet (Russian) missile is the use of cold launch technology, and the hot launch is that the launch box has no power, the missile is ignited in the launch box, and it is launched by its own thrust, which is used by American missiles. Both technologies have their own advantages and disadvantages, cold launch is safer because the missile does not produce flames in the launch box, but the missile is ignited in the air and is more difficult to control, while hot launch is the opposite. China is compatible with the two, the Haihongqi 9 uses cold launch technology, and the Haihongqi 16 uses hot launch technology.

At this time, on the various warships and transport ships anchored at the wharf of Dagukou, the vast majority of the soldiers and crews had already slept, and there was a lot of noise in the cabins of the crews, and only a few soldiers on night duty were still walking back and forth on the deck.

After all, now the army of the Eight-Nation Coalition has captured Beijing, the capital of the Qing State, and the supreme ruler of the Qing State, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, have also fled the capital, and the Beiyang Fleet of the Qing State has fled to Shanghai, joined the Southeast Mutual Protection, and has almost no ability to threaten the strength of the coalition forces, so this war can be said to be the overall situation, and the rest is a matter on the negotiating table, of course, not to negotiate with the Qing State, the current Qing State has no capital to negotiate with the coalition forces, and can only accept any requirements put forward by the coalition forces, but how much can the countries share from it, then it depends on the ability of the politicians.

Under such circumstances, it is reasonable for the coalition fleet to relax a little, not to mention that the fleet has not completely relaxed its vigilance, and still leaves normal soldiers on duty, who can deal with some conceivable accidents.

However, this time the coalition forces will encounter unexpected situations that they have not been able to imagine at all.

The first to discover that the situation was not right was Sergeant Shalimov, a soldier on night duty on the battleship Sisoy. It turned out that Shalimov was on duty in the middle of the night, and it was estimated that it was almost time, but the soldiers who changed shifts had not yet come, Shalimov's heart was quite anxious, and he looked up at the night sky, wondering what time it would be, but at this moment, he saw that in the dark blue night sky, a star suddenly shone brightly, and the bright light became bigger and bigger, more and more obvious, as if it was like a meteor.

There are legends about meteors in all countries of the world, and Sergeant Shalimov couldn't help but be interested, and forgot about the shift change for a while, and looked up into the sky. But after a while, Shalimov realized that something was wrong, because the meteor was getting bigger and bigger, and it seemed to be falling in the direction of Sisoy. However, as the distance got closer, Shalimov had seen clearly, this was by no means a meteor, but what it was, Shalimov couldn't say, but he instinctively had a bad feeling in his heart.

Although Shalimov also wanted to report it, after taking two steps, he hesitated for a moment, how could he report this matter? And when Shalimov hesitated and looked up again, he realized that it was a slender cylindrical object, with a cone-shaped head and orange-red flames spewing out from the tail, which fell at an almost vertical angle towards the Sisoy.

Although Shalimov still didn't understand what was going on, he already had an inexplicable fear in his heart, and he couldn't care about it, and shouted: "There is ...... There is a situation, there is a ......"

Before Shalimov could finish shouting, the slender cylindrical object had already fallen on the deck of the Sisoy, less than twenty meters away from Shalimov, and only heard a "boom", the deck was smashed open, and half of the cylinder was inserted into the deck.

Shalimov only felt a tremor under his feet, and a huge and dazzling spark immediately flashed in front of his eyes, and then a huge impact came, and he involuntarily flew into the air, crossed the side of the ship, and plunged headlong into the icy water.

The deafening explosion suddenly spread throughout the dock, and the huge fire illuminated the area of nearly a thousand meters around the Sisoy, and the soldiers and crews on the nearby ships rushed to the side to watch in the direction of the Sisoy, and two warships sounded their sirens, and the sleeping personnel were also woken up one after another.

However, most of the warships did not raise the alarm, for the simple reason that only explosions were heard, but no cannon sounds were heard. Although there was an explosion on the Sisoi, it was not necessarily an enemy attack, and it was probably a mistake on the part of the crew of the Sisoi, which caused the explosion in the shell compartment, which can be said to be common at sea, and there is nothing strange about it. Therefore, it is natural to look at it clearly first.

At this moment, some sharp-eyed people had already noticed that an object in the shape of a long cylinder, with a cone-shaped top and a long flame spraying its tail was rapidly falling from the sky, and this time the target was the armored cruiser Russian, which was moored about 20 meters away from the Sisoy.

Naturally, this was the second Haihongqi-9 missile launched from the Kunming, and the first shot had already hit the Sisoi.

The soldiers and crew members who saw the Haihongqi-9 missile naturally talked and pointed, not knowing what it was, but when the Haihongqi-9 hit the armored cruiser of the Russians, it produced a huge explosion, and the situation was almost the same as what happened on the battleship Sisoi just now.

And after seeing all this, even those who are slow to think understand that there was indeed an enemy attack, and the long cylindrical thing with a fire-breathing tail that I saw just now was obviously a weapon used by the enemy, and it was probably a new type of cannonball. So the sirens on the ships sounded loudly, and the shrill and shrill sound resounded over the entire dock, and in the midst of the sirens, there were also shouts in various languages:

"Enemy attack, enemy attack, enemy attack. ”

"Get up, get up, there's an enemy attacking. ”

"Make a fire, make a fire, prepare artillery, prepare artillery. ”

The officers gathered in the command room, the lookouts climbed the lookouts, searched the enemy ships everywhere, the artillerymen tore off their gun jackets, got into the turret, hurriedly adjusted the angle of the guns, and filled the charges, and in the boiler room at the bottom of the ship, more than a dozen shirtless soldiers threw shovels of coal-fired into the furnace, and beside the boiler, there were people desperately blowing fire into the furnace.

However, although the warships of this era generally used steam engines as power, the use of warships was not like driving a car, just lighting a fire. Because the steam engine is powered by steam, the water must be boiled to produce enough steam to drive the steam engine and start the warship. In general, it takes at least an hour for a large warship to go from ignition to start-up. And during this time, the warship was a living target floating on the sea.

Of course, the warship cannot move, and the ship's guns can still shoot, so the warship is not only beaten but cannot fight back, but whether it is a lookout or a fire controller, the sea surface is completely pitch black and nothing can be seen.

Modern missiles have automatic feedback devices, so that the launchers know whether the missile hit or not, so the Kunming ship also received the news of the results of all the two Haihongqi-9 missiles launched in the first time.

The entire command room suddenly resounded with a burst of cheers, not only because of the successful hit on the enemy ship, but also because this was the first time that the Kunming ship participated in actual combat, and the dull atmosphere before the war was also swept away.

However, in the midst of laughter, the trio of the headquarters was still calm at this time, and they were not overjoyed, Xia Bohai said: "Let the drone transmit the picture and see the effect of Haihongqi 9 after hitting." ”

After a while, two Russian ships hit by Haihongqi-9 missiles appeared on the display screen, and the fire had been extinguished a lot, but it was still generally clear and could not be seen without the night effect. I saw that the decks of the two Russian ships were blown open with a large opening, but the gap on the Sisoy was more in the middle, and the gap on the Russian was on the left, and even the side of the ship was blown off a large piece.

The three people from the headquarters carefully observed for a few minutes, and Xiao Jianjun said: "It seems that the effect is good, but to sink these two warships, I'm afraid it won't work, and I have to shoot another shot." ”

Xia Bohai nodded and said: "This is also normal, Haihongqi 9 is not an anti-ship missile in the first place, and these two are 10,000-ton warships, just in terms of tonnage, they are much larger than the Kunming ship, of course, they are not able to sink with one missile." ”

Xiao Jianjun said: "Then this time I will try to change to Eagle Strike 83." ”

Xia Bohai said: "Order the Xiangyang ship to launch the YJ-83 and target the Xisoi, and order the Huaihua ship to launch the YJ-83 and target the Russian, all guided by the Kunming ship." ”
