Chapter Ninety-Seven: Frying Turtles in an Urn

The fireworks of sin boiled over the entire Yokosuka.

In just a few minutes, the spirit core proved to the world how terrifying the combat power of a modern Aegis missile destroyer is.

With an ultra-high rate of fire of 45 rounds per minute, the 127-millimeter automated naval guns continuously bombarded important shore-based targets, blew up the Navy repair yard and the fleet's comprehensive supply center, easily eliminated the US-Japan combat command, and blew up ammunition depots one after another.

The 324-millimeter torpedoes poisoned most of the ships of the 1st Escort Group of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the Standard 2 anti-aircraft missiles roared into the air, killing the P-3C anti-submarine patrol planes returning to their homeland, the C-5M strategic transport planes heading to Hawaii, and even civilian passenger and cargo planes.

The AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missile attacked civilian ships on a large scale, and the megaton oil tanker fleet, LNG carriers, container carriers, etc., were unfortunately 100% hit.

Both Amaterasu and God seem to have closed their eyes for a few minutes, allowing sin and killing to ravage the world.

And the battle continues......

As the main ship of regional air defense operations, the MK-41VLS vertical missile launch system of the destroyer "King Kong" is equipped with 74 American-made Standard 2 anti-aircraft missiles and 16 vertical-launch anti-submarine rockets, and the ship also has an ammunition depot stockpile.

Unfortunately, the anti-aircraft missiles and anti-submarine rockets had to be manually reloaded after consumption, and the spirit core only controlled the control of the entire ship, and did not have any help.

So, the only thing it can squander is the loaded ammunition, but that's enough.

After successfully sinking 8 large-tonnage sea vessels, no one manually loaded anti-ship missile launchers. There are no AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles available in the spirit core, and the naval artillery shells have been emptied, and there are no more attacking aircraft in the effective air defense combat area, so the spirit core can only use 16 vertically launched anti-submarine rockets.

Compared with the short range of 16 kilometers of the single-barreled 127-mm 54 times diameter automatic naval gun, the destroyer "King Kong" is equipped with the RUR-5A "Asroc" anti-submarine rocket produced by their American godfather, and the maximum range can reach 30 kilometers.

The RUR-5A Aslock is called an anti-submarine missile by the Americans, but the Japanese are accustomed to calling it an anti-submarine rocket, but in any case, this type of weapon is intended to be used against underwater submarines rather than shore targets.

It is now in the Yokosuka Military Port. Where are the submarines?

Of course, the spirit core knows where it is, and the destroyer "King Kong" is known as the most powerful modern Aegis warship in East Asia, and the OQA-201 anti-submarine combat system is not for nothing.

Since Yokosuka Military Port is the most important military port of the Japanese Navy's Maritime Self-Defense Force, and because of its important strategic and military significance in defending Tokyo Bay, it is known as the world's most advanced and largest Soryu-class AIP conventionally powered submarine.

Submarines of this class can reach a staggering 4,200 tons at full load. It is larger than the tonnage of destroyers of some countries, and three of the five ships in service are stationed in the port of Yokosuka. The other 2 ships and those to be built in the future will be assigned to the port of Kure.

The fire on Azuma Island is raging. Two of the three submarines also quickly responded to the order to unmole and launch to escape from the berth, but one of them was very unlucky, because the submarine happened to be in a state of routine maintenance, and it was unable to move in the dock, and only received a shell from the 127 mm caliber gun of the 'King Kong', and it completely lay down on its stomach.

And the other two. After launching in a panic, the first thing to use is of course the Stirling AIP closed-loop propulsion system equipped with them, and after the advanced ZYQ-51C submarine combat system and the ZYQ-31 command and control support system are working, the ZQQ-7 sonar system first enters the working state

The Soryu-class AIP conventionally powered submarines are equipped with active/passive array sonars under the bow. It is equipped with an inverse detection sonar above the bow and a large low-frequency passive array sonar on both sides of the hull.

Therefore, even without the CM010 non-penetrating photoelectric periscope, the Canglong-class AIP conventionally powered submarine is enough to easily detect and lock on the USS Kongo, a guided missile destroyer that is aggressively attacking the port, sea and sky.

But......

As a highly intelligent system, the spirit core chose to bombard and destroy the US Seventh Fleet Command and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force Command at the first time.

Without the attack order from the command headquarters, the captains of the two Canglong-class AIP conventional-powered submarines were given 100 bear guts, and they did not dare to rashly launch an attack on the destroyer "King Kong."

On the contrary, the destroyer "King Kong" has absolute control of the spirit core, through the OQA-201 anti-submarine combat system, detected two advanced Canglong-class AIP submarines, and three Qinchao-class submarines, which are trying to escape from the harbor under the cover of the sea.

For a single Soryu-class AIP conventional-powered submarine with a price of more than 50 billion yen, it is equivalent to more than 3 billion yuan swimming in the water, and it is naturally the most suitable to launch an attack with the cheap RUR-5A "Asroc" anti-submarine rocket.

What's more, the water depth in Yokosuka Port is limited, but it is not as deep as the deep sea, and the seabed terrain is flat, so the Soryu-class AIP conventionally powered submarines are almost nowhere to hide.

Burst!

Burst!

Almost as soon as the Standard 2 missile finished killing the flying target in the attackable airspace, one after another RUR-5A "Asroc" anti-submarine rockets rushed out of the launch box of the MK-41VLS vertical missile launch system.

Because the target was too close, the anti-submarine rocket adjusted its flight trajectory almost without much acceleration in the air, and went straight to the waters in the harbor, and the ignition separation device sent an electrical signal to successfully detonate the separation device of the solid rocket booster, thus separating the rocket booster.

Then, the remaining missile frame and warhead of the anti-submarine rocket flew to the target by inertia, and with the detonation of the missile frame separation device, the warhead smoothly broke away from the missile frame and entered the water.

The anti-submarine rocket warhead is actually equipped with a torpedo that uses a deceleration parachute to enter the water at a steady speed, then dives on its own, and then searches, tracks, and pursues the target submarine data loaded by the OQA-201 anti-submarine combat system before launch.

The attack is coming in an instant!

The submarines of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force did not expect that their own destroyer, the "Kongo," would actually attack them. And even if they were expected, they could not escape in the small port, who let the battleships that had followed the butt of the destroyer "King Kong" before being torpedoed and sunk, almost blocking the channel with limited width.

The anti-submarine rockets caught the turtles in the urn found their respective targets very accurately and exploded smoothly underwater, and how could the powerful explosion be carried by the double-layer shell of the Canglong-class AIP submarine?

The dull sound of explosions resounded at the bottom of the sea, and the sinking submarines could not escape the doom of being hit.

In this situation, they are like fish that have been put into a tank by fishermen, and then stabbed by someone with a harpoon. If you want to struggle and escape, you don't have enough space.

The sinking of the submarine was not spectacular, there were no surface warships hit by missiles at all, and the violent explosion formed a dazzling orange-red fireball, but the oil and debris gradually floating on the surface of the water stretched into patches. It's also a sight to behold.

Whether it is the US military or the little Japanese one, while killing the submarine. The Psionic Core also does not save any ammo.

The remaining RUR-5A "Asroc" anti-submarine rockets. Without hesitation, the spirit core launched them at Atsugi Airport, deep inland in the port of Yokohama, and bombed the airport with torpedoes or depth charges, probably for the first time in the world.

However, from the point of view of attack effectiveness, the torpedo became a timed bombshell, and together with the depth charges that could not be underestimated, they blew up large holes in the airfield. Or the hangar and the aircraft are completely scrapped.

The take-off and landing capacity of the airport runway was abolished, and the powerful blast wave even affected the helicopter fleet taking off and landing, and the flying shrapnel even directly exploded a helicopter in the air.

Under the night sky, the whole Yokosuka was in chaos.

Look down from above. Many buildings, equipment, and facilities on the shore were bombarded by naval artillery and turned into a mess, the ruins of the walls were covered with flames, and the land in Puxiang, where ammunition depots were dense, had been blown into a scorched earth.

Of course, the raging fire on Azuma Island is not alone, and in Tokyo Bay, four 300,000-ton oil tankers sunk by AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles leaked millions of tons of fuel, as if a layer of fire was spread out on the sea, and the fire was even more fierce than that on Azuma Island.

In the military port, the water is full of floating oil, garbage, and dead bodies, and of course, there are brave Marines who are struggling to put out the fire, but the destroyer "King Kong", the culprit of this nightmare, is still arrogant.

Unable to regain control by all means, and watching his warship bombard his own side and friendly forces on the shore, and even launch missiles to attack air targets, the poor captain finally endured his pity and risked being court-martialed, and ordered all the crew to destroy the battleship.

No one knew what was going on, the battleship just didn't listen to the call of these human beings, and the sailors with poor psychological quality thought that it was a ghost and god who was causing chaos, and naturally they were shot dead on the spot.

The ship's crew began to wreak havoc but it was too late, and the spirit core moved so quickly, manipulating the ship's guns, releasing torpedoes, and launching a barrage of missile attacks...... All attacks are launched at the same time or in succession.

In other words, it only took a few minutes for the spirit core to be smashed into purgatory, and it only took a few minutes to identify the target of the attack and then select the weapon to strike, without any thinking and hesitation in between, and the ultra-high efficiency completely exploded the hesitant officers of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force.

Therefore, it is possible that these officers went from realizing that control had been lost, to trying various methods to try to restore control, and finally witnessing the tragedy on the shore, before they decided to destroy the warship after discussion...... These delays were enough to make the core nearly empty of ammo.

It is possible to manually destroy the battleship, but another problem is born.

In order to ensure the survivability of warships in harsh battlefields to the greatest extent, modern warships often adopt a modular approach, that is, the loss of some combat subsystems will not affect other systems, just like the sailors on the destroyer "King Kong" stopped the turbine unit, and the armament system will not be affected at all in a short period of time.

Unfortunately, there were too many officers and men on the ship, and Linghe's original plan was to wait until the US military or the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force sent a fighter group to launch an attack on the culprit 'Kongo' destroyer, and then it staged a massive regional air defense operation, but obviously time did not allow.

As a result, more than 20 Standard 2 missiles that have not yet been launched in the MK-41VLS vertical missile launch system have been tampered with by the spirit core and turned into super bombs that self-detonate at regular intervals.

Re-condensing from the mast, the intelligent nanobot quickly completed the group condensation, transforming into a rocket of considerable size and suddenly speeding up to escape, and the destroyer "King Kong" below, after continuing to sail for about 20 seconds, with a loud bang.

The Kongo was completely enveloped by a huge fireball as soon as it landed, and in the deafening explosion, the Kongo, which was torn into countless steel fragments from the inside out, became another dazzling light in the Yokosuka Military Port. (To be continued......)
