Chapter 513: When the Attack Proceeds

To deal with incoming missiles, the most important premise is to discover the launch of the opponent's missiles in a timely manner, otherwise, there will be no way to talk about subsequent identification, tracking, and interception, and the so-called missile early warning is to discover the incoming missiles and other launch positions at an early stage, measure the flight parameters of the missiles, judge the targets that the incoming missiles will attack, and provide early warning information for defense decisions.

In order to deal with a possible attack on the mainland of the United States by the Arrow Wolf mercenaries, the government and military of the United States have activated all ground-based radar and missile early warning satellite systems that can be used for detection. The radar systems of the military ships deployed off the coast of the United States are also all turned on at full power to detect possible missile attacks.

At Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, an AN/FPQ-16 radar, also known as the "Border Interception Radar Target Signature Measurement System", is deployed.

The radar is composed of two antenna arrays with a diameter of 35.4 meters, which continuously performs space tracking tasks in peacetime, and when a target is found, it is automatically converted into a surveillance mission and attack judgment, providing accurate numbers and detailed attack judgment for the US military's early warning unit.

The radar can detect objects of more than one meter at a distance of up to 4500 km, and ordinary warheads can also detect up to 1600 km. It is possible to track 600 targets at the same time and provide a careful count of 55 targets.

Roberts is a second lieutenant communications staff officer at the radar station at Eglin Air Force Base, and his job is to monitor the radar number in the monitoring center, adjust the transmitting and receiving bearings of the radar sector, focus on scanning the special airspace coordinates transmitted by the superiors, and deal with possible anomalies.

Roberts' duty time is from half past six to half past nine tonight, and for more than two hours, his eyes have not taken off the beating numbers on the big screen, and he has done his duty. Don't dare to be negligent for a moment.

Roberts, though very serious, has always maintained a relaxed mindset. However, seeing that it was almost nine o'clock, Roberts became nervous for no reason, and this panic came without any reason, and he felt overwhelmed.

Speaking from the heart, he disagreed with the war declaration of the arrow wolf mercenaries, and now there are two or three countries in the world that have the ability to launch missile attacks on the United States, but the countries that dare to launch missile attacks on the United States. But there was none, not that they could but that they did not dare.

So he doesn't think that the Arrow Wolf Lang mercenaries have this ability, nor do they think they have the guts, they can only have one consequence of doing this, that is, complete extinction. The government and military of the United States will not tolerate the continued existence of a military organization that is extremely hostile to the United States. Nor is there any reason for a military organization that launched a missile attack on the United States mainland to continue to roam in the barren land of Africa.

"Ensign, what's the matter?"

The commander of the radar station was Lieutenant Colonel Torres. When the time given by the Arrow Wolf mercenaries entered the countdown, he arrived at the monitoring center, accompanied by Lieutenant Colonel Jones, the radar station's technical officer.

Roberts got up from his seat and gave a military salute to the two lieutenant colonels.

"Sir. So far, nothing unusual has been found. ”

Torres and Lieutenant Colonel Jones returned the salute to the second lieutenant. Then he sat down on the seats on either side of Roberts.

"Very well, second lieutenant, now intensify surveillance of the eastern seas. Full power output. ”

Roberts carried out the lieutenant colonel's orders on the computer.

As time passed slowly as he stared at the screen, Lieutenant Colonel Torres stood up and went to the coffee machine next to the door to pour his coffee, he had just picked up a full cup of coffee. Before he could turn around, he heard the hysterical shouts of Second Lieutenant Roberts behind him.

"Missiles, missiles, they launched missiles. ”

Lieutenant Colonel Torres' hands trembled. With a "bang", the coffee cup fell to the ground, and the hot coffee spilled on his calf, making him grin and jump up.

Lieutenant Colonel Torres didn't care if his calf was burned, he looked at the big screen in front of him amid the terrible alarm sound in the monitoring center, and Second Lieutenant Roberts and Lieutenant Colonel Jones had also stood up, their eyes wide open, looking at the sixteen fast-moving red dots on the big screen without blinking.

Eight of the sixteen missiles were Tomahawk-like cruise missiles, but they were more than three times as fast as the Tomahawk cruise missile, and their cruising speed exceeded Mach 2.5. The other eight were Russian-made SS-N-19 missiles launched at a high inclination with a speed of Mach 3.2.

The sixteen missiles were divided into three groups, the first of which was eight SS-N-19 missiles, and the direction of attack was the Portsmouth shipyard in Maine, and the targets were supposed to be the two Aegis destroyers under construction at the shipyard and the dockyard.

The second group consisted of four Tomahawk-like cruise missiles, targeting Dover Air Force Base in Delaware.

The third group was also four Tomahawk cruise missiles, and the target turned out to be the "West Point Military Academy" in New York City.

Five seconds later, the monitoring information of the radar station at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida had been transferred to the National Threat Warning Center of the Ministry of Defense, and at the same time, the information of all the radar stations arranged on the east coast of the United States, the information of the missile early warning satellites, and the information captured by the radars of the Navy ships entered the computers of the Information Processing Center of the Ministry of Defense.

In another five seconds, the information processing center of the Ministry of National Defense had already sent down the detailed data it had received about the missiles and the determination of the targets of attack to the computer room of the national missile defense system and to the terminal defense systems of the three targets that had been attacked.

It took only 35 seconds from the time the missile left the sea to the time when the land-based anti-missile missile of the missile defense system of the United States left the launcher. The reaction speed of the anti-missile system of the United States is incomparable with that of any country, and there is a certain reason for the United States to show off its might in the world, and its solid shield is one of their backings.

The Mi Guokees made a bloody investment this time, and they used four land-based anti-missile missiles for each incoming missile.

The missile cruiser USS Philippine Sea and two frigates of the Sixth Fleet performing a search mission off the coast of New York. It is only about 50 kilometers away from the Chen's No. 1 and Chen's No. 2 submarines that Chen Yuxing is riding.

After detecting eight Tomahawk cruise missiles jumping out of the sea, they immediately fired 16 Standard 3 anti-aircraft missiles at the cruise missiles in flight. At the same time, two antisubmarine frigates and antisubmarine helicopters quickly headed toward the missile-launching area, and the "Philippine Sea" missile cruiser fleet also towed nearly 100 meters of towed antisubmarine sonar toward the area where the incident occurred at full speed.

The Standard 3 missile had a speed of more than Mach 10 and caught up with a Tomahawk-like cruise missile flying at Mach 2.5 in less than a minute. Just when the standard 3 missile was still more than 10 meters away from the cruise missile, the cruise missile suddenly accelerated, changed its original trajectory, and suddenly increased its flight altitude by more than 10 meters.

The Standard III anti-aircraft missile flew past grazing the belly of the cruise missile. In an instant, it rushed out of a few hundred meters. When they made an arc and continued to track the cruise missile, the cruise missile flew a long distance.

The radar soldier of the United States, who was monitoring the missiles on the radar screen, was stunned by this strange phenomenon, and he not only had never seen it, but had never heard of it, the Tomahawk cruise missile, and such a maneuvering ability.

Just when the standard-3 anti-aircraft missile caught up with the cruise missile again, the cruise missile suddenly accelerated again and changed its trajectory. Several times in this way, the five-minute stay time of the Standard 3 had already arrived, and sixteen Standard 3 anti-aircraft missiles reluctantly fell into the sea according to the parabolic trajectory.

In the Chen's No. 1 submarine, Mai Okochi stood in front of a three-dimensional view of the panorama, looking at the missiles chasing each other and screaming.

"Husband, that's amazing. Why didn't that Mi ship launch a missile, launch it quickly. ”

Mai Okochi walked into the three-dimensional picture and tried to kick the virtual "Philippine Sea" missile cruiser with her little feet, but obviously couldn't kick it, and one of them almost fell. She stomped her foot in hatred. Then there was a fuss and screaming.

"Oh no, husband, there are a lot of missiles coming from the shore. 1、2、3、…… There are more than thirty of them, and they are bigger than the ones just now. Can my husband dodge them?"

Mai Okochi looked at a large pile of missiles flying towards her and hurriedly ran out of the three-dimensional image.

Chen Yuxing looked at Mai Okochi's happy appearance, and just grinned. At this time, Mai Okochi still has the appearance of pregnancy syndrome, and she is purely an innocent and romantic little girl. Mai Okochi came to Chen Yuxing's front and grabbed his arm and begged.

"Husband, don't let them hit my missiles. Okay, okay?"

Chen Yuxing pinched her face, Mai Okochi's little nose wrinkled vigorously, and her small mouth pouted.

"Of course they won't let them hit your missiles. ”

Chen Yuxing took out a laser pointer from the operating table and handed it to Mai Okochi.

"You can destroy them with this laser pointer. It's up to you to get rid of them before they hit your missiles. ”

Chen Yuxing picked up Mai Okochi and put it on his lap. Holding her small hand, she pointed the laser pointer at a land-based anti-missile missile, pressed a display switch on it, and a beam of red light shot at a missile, and the missile exploded in volley, and the fragments carried a firelight, falling towards the dark sea, like brilliant fireworks.

"Husband, I'll come. ”

Mai Okochi broke free from Chen Yuxing's hand and flicked at the remaining thirty-one missiles. The missiles illuminated by the red laser all exploded into a ball of fire.

Mai Okochi had a lot of fun in the Chen's 1 submarine.

In front of the big screen of the National Threat Warning Center of the Ministry of National Defense of the United States, countless generals and technicians opened their mouths in shock. What is the situation? Why do these anti-missile missiles self-destruct halfway?

"Investigate, investigate now, I want to know what's going on!"

Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the United States, shouted hysterically. (To be continued......)
