Chapter 403: Sinking the Aircraft Carrier

In this hastily fought war, the army of the country of Lijian exposed many problems, the biggest problem is that it did not take into account the defeat at all, and once lost, there was no chance of recovery.

In the past several wars launched by the country, the enemy was a small country with weak military strength, relying on the advanced military system, the army of the country was invincible, and even shouted the slogan of "zero casualties".

This time, the situation is completely reversed, and when it comes to military forces with more advanced weapons and equipment, the appearance of the Lijian army is not much stronger than that of the Burmese government army.

After the Black Dragon Army defeated the coalition army's attack, it pursued hundreds of kilometers, captured thousands of coalition officers and soldiers and a large number of supplies, and the troops approached the capital of Burma, and the Burmese government and the opposition were shaken.

Thanks to the advanced battlefield surveillance system, the top brass of the country is always watching the progress of the war, and as the bad news comes one after another, the White House and the Pentagon are in a panic.

At the emergency high-level meeting, President Paul was furious, and when he saw some dejected heads of departments in front of him, he sat back in his seat, as if his body had been drained of strength, and said, "Tell me, what should we do now?" ”

The Minister of Defense first opened his mouth and said: "We have to admit that we know too little about the inside story of the Black Dragon Army, and Yan ZhanΓ²ng underestimated their strength, in this war, the Black Dragon Army used several weapons and equipment such as fourth-generation fighters, unmanned aerial vehicles, individual mechas, battlefield aircraft and missiles, and the performance is very advanced."

But the Black Dragon Army is not invincible, our exoskeleton armor has been successfully developed, but it is only because of the cost problem that the army is not equipped for the time being; The technical reserves of fifth-generation fighters are sufficient, and if necessary, the development of them can be accelerated. Strive for a test flight next year. ”

The Secretary of State said: "Who is the source of these advanced military technologies of the Black Dragon Army? Did they get alien technology? ”

The latter sentence. The secretary of state is clearly a bit self-deprecating.

The director of the CIA frowned. Feeling a pain in his head, he said: "For the time being, there is no intelligence to show that these technologies come from other countries, including Xinhua Kingdom, these weapons and equipment are obviously based on the military science and technology of various countries, but they are much more advanced, according to the results of experts, it is likely that there is a huge scientific research institution behind the Black Dragon Army, which has mastered a large number of advanced technologies." ”

The national security assistant said: "Nearly two years. We should continue to send more troops, and seek the support of ASEAN countries and allies such as Britain, Australia, and Canada, to form a coalition army and gather several times the superior forces to completely wipe out the Black Dragon Army that is in danger of peace in the hΓ i region. ”

The secretary of state also said: "We should also call on all countries in the world to impose comprehensive sanctions on the Black Dragon Army, and put pressure on Xinhua to stop economic and trade with the Black Dragon Army." ”

President Paul added: "It will not be long before the results of this war will be transmitted back home." We have a major general and more than 600 officers and soldiers captured, how can we explain this to the people and the parliament? ”

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said: "There will always be casualties and opposition in war. We must not give in to the enemy, we can decipher some of the latest military scientific research achievements, build up the confidence of the army, and at the same time use public opinion to arouse the hatred of the people against the Black Dragon Army and support the government to expand the scale of the war. ”

Before the high-level leaders of the country could come up with a foolproof plan, another bad news came, which dealt a heavy blow to the country!

……

On the aircraft carrier "Washington" cruising in the Bay of Bengal, the atmosphere was solemn, and it can even be said that it was sad and angry, in this war against the Black Dragon Army, the aircraft carrier sent almost all the carrier-based aircraft, but only one-third flew back, and all the remaining fighters were shot down, and there were very few survivors.

Commodore William, commander of the aircraft carrier battle group, frowned, with deep doubts in his heart, Li Jianguo has never experienced such a crushing defeat, needless to say in air combat, even if it is a land battle, the Black Dragon Army will defeat the coalition forces to the ground.

Even during World War II or the Northern Korean War, although there were defeats, the gap between the losses of the two sides was so large, but it was unprecedented.

Before the war, although some intelligence was not in place, the coalition forces still understood the general strength of the Black Dragon Army, with just over 10,000 troops, and had a lot of advanced air defense weapons and military technology in their hands, and they may even have received the support of Xinhuaguo.

The coalition army is confident of winning this battle, who would have expected that the Black Dragon Army would suddenly emerge with several super advanced weapons and equipment, and even the deputy commander-in-chief of the coalition army was captured, which is a great shame for the country!

After the capture of Major General Perry, Brigadier General William was the supreme commander on the battlefield in Burma, and the tremendous pressure from home made him feel breathless.

At 16:27 in the evening, just when Brigadier General William was in trouble in the battle situation, a shrill siren suddenly sounded on the aircraft carrier, and a major staff officer rushed in with a pale face and shouted: "General, the detection system has found dozens of torpedoes coming towards us!" It's less than a kilometre away."

Brigadier General William was taken aback and said, "What's the matter?" And what about our anti-submarine warfare ships, helicopters and nuclear submarines? ”

The anti-submarine rockets on the aircraft carrier were desperately launched into the sea, but it was too late.

When the officers and men in charge of anti-submarine discovered these torpedoes, the torpedoes had already entered the final stage of attack, and they did not even know from what direction they were fired.

In the end, only seven torpedoes were intercepted, eight torpedoes hit the carrier's key underwater parts, and other destroyers, cruisers, frigates, and fast combat support ships, including two nuclear submarines underwater, were attacked by two or three torpedoes each.

The explosions of torpedoes hitting the side of the underwater ship rang out one after another, and more than 20 huge columns of water with thick smoke rose one after another on the surface of the sea.

The entire aircraft carrier battle group was suddenly miserable, and in just five minutes, a frigate and a destroyer began to sink, and some sailors jumped into the sea and waited for rescue.

The two nuclear submarines responsible for anti-submarine warfare on the periphery were the first to be attacked and the first to sink, and none of the officers and men in the submarines survived.

Fifty-two minutes later, the "Washington" aircraft carrier was hit in too much water because it was hit in vital parts, and many places were caught in flames, and the damage management work failed, and the hull tilted more than 13 degrees, and the captain had to give the order to abandon the ship.

Brigadier General William, who was distraught and ready to die with the ship, was forcibly dragged onto the helicopter by the staff officers.

In fact, at this time, except for one cruiser, two destroyers, and one support ship, which were able to control the danger and still be able to support it, all the other ships began to give orders to abandon their ships.

At 7:48 p.m., the invincible aircraft carrier "Washington" capsized and sank in the Bay of Bengal after only struggling on the surface of the sea for more than three hours, just over 20 nautical miles from the coastline.

The only thing that made Li Jianguo feel fortunate was that the aircraft carrier battle group was not far from the international waterway at that time, there were a lot of ships coming and going, and it was not yet dark, so after the rescue signal was released, the officers and men who abandoned the ship were quickly rescued on board, and the casualties were not large.
