Chapter 315: Nowhere to Run
Four of the seven U.S. aircraft carrier battle groups are deployed in Israel's territorial waters on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean. They are CVN65 Enterprise, CVN68 Nimitz, CVN73 Washington and CVN74 Stennis respectively.
In addition, three battle groups, the USS Kennedy and CVN 76 Reagan, led by the supercarrier CVN 78 Ford, are circling the African continent at maximum speed before joining up with other escort ships of the U.S. Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Fleets in the middle of the Indian Ocean to form a southern strike group against the Arab League.
Therefore, these three aircraft carrier battle groups, which were rapidly heading south, escaped the blow of this "meteor shower" because they could not pass through the Suez Canal under the control of the Guò God League.
But the remaining aircraft carrier formations that are still cruising in the Mediterranean Sea will not have such good luck.
In the face of the flames that suddenly lit up on the canopy of the sky when the missiles pierced the atmosphere, although the "Arleigh Burke"-class missile destroyers and the "Ticonderoga"-class missile cruisers, which are responsible for the air defense of the fleet, did their best to launch the "Standard" series of anti-aircraft missiles and constantly threw missile bait, they still did not help.
Like real "shooting stars", those incoming missiles were not deceived by any decoy, but evaded the interception of all anti-aircraft missiles, and under the almost desperate resistance of the frenzied flame-spewing dense rain of anti-aircraft missiles, one after the other, rushed to their intended targets.
All hits.
…………
As early as when formulating the intensity of the attack on the Allied fleet, Han Feng had a requirement for Xiao Ling.
Hit only large surface ships of other NATO allies.
As for the US aircraft carrier battle group, the crazy brother's request is: one ship and one bomb, never repeat, and the main thing is to sink the escort ships and damage the aircraft carrier itself as much as possible.
Han Feng still hopes that these aircraft carriers that can still be used will continue to become the whetstone before the establishment of the kingdom of God, and continue to hone the lazy and casual national temperament of the Arabs.
The mad brother still figured out that the war of blood and fire made these Arabs understand that even with the blessing of Allah, they must rely on their own hard work and struggle to get the happy life of their dreams!
Therefore, even if a "meteor" may sink an "Ticonderoga"-class "Aegis" ship, it will definitely not be able to sink a 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier into the sea, Han Feng still chooses to let these world's strongest warships still float on the sea.
Of course, in addition to the nuclear power plant, Han Feng also asked Xiaoling to "be sure to let the aircraft carrier and its carrier-based aircraft suffer the maximum trauma"!
Therefore, these four aircraft carriers were only attacked by four missiles, but the consequences caused by them made the US commanders want to cry without tears.
…………
When the first wave of missile warheads appeared in the sky, all the ships began the craziest show.
Maneuvering at maximum speed, fire control radar and E-2C AWACS aircraft in the air guide the launch, tracking and guidance of all anti-aircraft missiles, the phalanx system is ready, and the missile decoy begins to be ejected......
The twenty-four warheads in each round were like twenty-four sharp arrows fired by the Nine Heavens at the same time, piercing the vast sky, triggering rolling thunder, with twenty-four streams of white smoke and bright and dazzling Dao Dao tail flames, cutting through time and space, and shooting down from the top of their heads.
Although the ship can evade the attack of ballistic missiles by constantly moving, under the precise guidance and control system of the missile warhead and the relatively high attack speed, any attempt to escape the judgment of fate can only be in vain.
Martial arts in the world, only fast is not broken!
Each wave of "meteor shower" is like a dense rain of arrows sent by the Great God of Houyi, with great power, penetrating layers of obstacles, and finally shooting down all targets!
In the face of the menacing initiation attack, the formation of the Allied ships began to be chaotic.
They are allies, but not the same country after all! How much tacit understanding can there be between each other?
Under the mortal threat of missiles, in the case of the complete failure of the air defense interception network, only a large maneuverable steering action can save the warship under one's feet and save one's own life.
So everyone is busy making the most drastic turning maneuvers, hoping to avoid these untempted and unstoppable fatal "shooting stars".
The collision happened without incident.
The escort ship collided with an aircraft carrier maneuvering in the opposite direction; As soon as the frigate turned around, it was hit by the destroyer behind it; Before the destroyer could get out of the entanglement with the frigate, it was blown up on the spot by the cruiser......
Not only do US warships collide with each other, but also between US forces and NATO allies, similar collisions occur from time to time.
The British warship rammed the German warship, the Italians overturned the Spaniards, and the bow of the Greek naval ship went straight into the belly of the Turkish ship......
On the sea where the Allied fleet was located, a group of people turned on their backs.
Then the missile flew down without any suspense.
An explosion followed.
On the previously calm and beautiful Mediterranean Sea, on the eastern ocean of Malta Island, the flames are soaring into the sky and the smoke is filled, and the pillars of smoke are pushed by the sea breeze, twisting their bodies and shapes, persistently and helplessly probing into the sky......
Except for the huge tonnage aircraft carrier, no ship can withstand the ferocious blow of these nine days of thunder!
In the first wave of attacks, a total of 20 "Ticonderoga"-class cruisers, "Arleigh Burke" destroyers, and escort ships of Britain and Germany were sunk, and four aircraft carriers were directly damaged.
The so-called aircraft carrier fleet air defense network, from the beginning to the end, has never played any role at all!
If you have to evaluate their positive performance when the "shooting star" strikes...... Except for using their own noise and diffusion to render the atmosphere of the battlefield, except to create more flames, smoke and escape sailors, there is no value to be found.
Cruisers and destroyers, which are tens of millions of tons, cannot withstand a "meteor", let alone the fate of other frigates.
They are like folded models made of paper, and under the fierce pressure of the boulders, there is no other choice than to sink to the bottom of the water!
Especially under Xiao Ling's real-time control, each missile chose the part of the hull that could cause the most damage and sprinted in, and then exploded in the ammunition depot!
Landing ships, cruisers, destroyers, frigates......
One by one, they were sunk on the spot. It was as if on this sea, there was an invisible hand wielding a heavy giant hammer, constantly rising and falling, sending all the ships that were not pleasing to the eye into the arms of the sea god Poseidon.
All large warships, none of them were spared.
They are destined to have nowhere to escape!
