The 138 and 139 ships simultaneously launched the 3M-80 "Bailing" heavy supersonic anti-ship missile.

The two ships are more advanced than the 136 and 137 ships, because they are the reason for the follow-up order, and some targeted improvements have been made according to the requirements of our navy, and anti-ship missile firing has been carried out during the delivery test, and the results are very good.

At that time, because the Navy was in urgent need of warships that could deter large surface ships, the 136 and 137 were bought second-hand goods, and the next two ships were newly built.

Before the 052C was put into service, the Modern-class Four Musketeers were the absolute main force of our Navy, while the 052B had only two ships, 168 and 169, which belonged to the transitional model and could not carry the banner of our Navy's naval strike. For more than a decade, the protagonist of naval news was the modern Four Musketeers.

There is only one 051B, that is, the famous No. 167 Shenzhen ship, which is the beginning of the large-scale surface ships of our Navy, and is the first destroyer with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons, and the standard displacement has reached 6,000 tons.

There are only two 051Cs built on this basis (115 and 116), and the construction speed is far less than that of 052C (the first two 052C ships entered service earlier than them), because the purpose of the two ships of this type is to carry the introduction of two sets of shipboard versions of the S-300F long-range air defense missile system (also known as the Rif long-range air defense system) introduced at the same time as the introduction of modern destroyers, the air defense missile system is bulky and was originally intended to be carried on the 10,000-ton Glorious-class and Kirov-class cruisers.

With a displacement of more than 7,000 tons, 051C was finally shoehorned in, and the aft hangar was encroached upon by this huge air defense missile system, resulting in the fact that the class ship did not have a hangar to store and maintain helicopters, and could only mooring a helicopter on the aft flight deck, which directly affected the anti-submarine capability of the warship. This is also one of the reasons why this class of ships has never been on a cruising mission in the Gulf of Aden, and the long-range air defense missile system carried by this class of ships has a certain anti-missile capability and is entrusted with the responsibility of defending the air defense of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

Another thing that makes people criticize is that this class of ships uses steam turbines as the power system, and the boilers need to be boiled before setting sail, and the start is quite slow, and there is a generation difference in technology compared with the power systems of the 052B and 052C destroyers that use the diesel-combustion alternate power system.

It is said that the 10,000-ton drive under development will use more advanced domestic gas turbines, and will be the first warship of the People's Navy to use a domestic full-fuel power system for propulsion (the 112 ships use the LM-2500 gas power system of the United States, the gas power system is the main power of the US Navy warships, and the Burke-class destroyers all use the power system, and the performance is very advanced, and China has obtained five sets during the honeymoon period between China and the United States, so as to build 112 ships and 113 ships).

At least Li Zhan knew that his senior sister Zhu Qingying drove the Boeing-747-400 heavy all-cargo plane back and forth between central Sichuan and Eastern Europe, and among the goods she transported was a kind of technical drawings and prototypes of a gas turbine that had never been equipped.

Since the launch of two 052C-class destroyers in 2004, the People's Navy has begun to attract all attention, and the People's Navy's dumpling project, which is expected to last for 30 years, has officially kicked off.

It is foreseeable that before the new warships are put into service, these two 051C warships will basically not go to the open sea for training, and in the future, they will also retire from the position of the main warships and serve as warships to maintain the establishment.

The 168 and 169 ships are mainly used to carry the imported Russian-made SA-N-12 medium-range air defense missiles, as well as the domestically produced diesel-fired alternating power system, and also have the purpose of testing new technologies and equipment.

These are all transitional models, especially the 115 and 116 ships, and the emergency implication is quite obvious.

The main warships of the People's Navy have been accumulating experience and technology in this way of small steps and fast running for more than ten years, and finally developed the 052C and the follow-up model 052D, forming the standardization of the main force of the Navy's surface combat ships.

According to the character of our people's army, these aging warships will not be abandoned, and they will certainly undergo in-depth modernization and refit, and then return to the combat sequence to continue cruising the ocean and defend the maritime rights and interests of the motherland.

Li Zhan circled and flew in the designated airspace, and Niu Jun also temporarily put down the camera and picked up the control panel to operate the integrated tactical pod.

When the two missiles reached the highest point, the integrated tactical pod captured the radio signal sent by the missile, and Niu Jun quickly reported: "Intercept the signal and establish a command transmission channel." ”

Li Zhan quickly confirmed the azimuth data of the "chicken cage" and prepared for transmission.

The missile began to dive, and the speed quickly accelerated to Mach two during the dive, and in the course of this dive, the missile had already flown to a position seventy kilometers away from the battleship. Next, the missile continued to fly at an altitude of about 20 meters above the sea surface, and the ramjet engine continued to propel the missile to accelerate until it reached a top speed of Mach 2.7.

However, Li Zhan found that when the missile fell to a height of seven meters above the sea surface again, the speed of the missile was maintained at the level of Mach 2.5, and it seemed that the missile failed to run at its maximum speed. However, the speed of Mach 2.5 is already an undefensible high speed.

"Transmit correction instructions!" When the missile was about twenty kilometers away from the "chicken cage" bulk carrier, Li Zhan said loudly.

Niu Jun began to transmit correction instructions to the two missiles, and at the same time reported: "The No. 1 bomb has been transmitted!" The second bomb is transmitted! It's all dealt with! ”

The correction command of the integrated tactical pod is in priority, the missile will adjust the course according to the correction command, and the seeker will repeatedly lock on to the target according to the latest target parameters at the same time, ensuring that the target bearing data is up-to-date.

The advantage of relay guidance is that it can strike targets in high-speed motion more flexibly, and the performance of the fire control radar on the missile's seeker is limited after all, far less accurate and long-range than the airborne radar. Theoretically speaking, as long as the range of the missile is sufficient, the fighter in charge of relay guidance can even direct the missile to a new target at the last moment, so as to optimize the strike effect.

Li Zhan had already turned on the afterburner and rushed wildly towards the "Chicken Coop" bulk carrier, and he increased the airspeed by pressing the throttle at an altitude of 6,000 meters, and these actions probably began when the integrated tactical pod captured the missile's radio signal, otherwise he would not have been able to get close to the missile and wait for shooting before the missile hit the target.

No. 81198 Old Flying Leopard soared to an airspeed of Mach 1.2, Niu Jun's breathing became rapid, and she was surprised to find that the cockpit was much quieter all of a sudden, she knew that this was because the speed of the fighter had exceeded the speed of sound, and all the sounds were left behind.

Li Zhan's calculations were precise and his operations were precise, and when he flew over the "Chicken Coop," he lowered his altitude, and then he saw two 3M-80 "Bailing" heavy supersonic anti-ship missiles flying close to the sea. Close enough to be able to see the massive body of the missile, even though the first stage is detached.

Niu Jun seized the opportunity to use a telephoto lens to quickly shoot the scene of the missile flying close to the sea, and even adjusted the focus to shoot a video of more than ten seconds, and finally circled all the shots on the "chicken coop" bulk carrier.

When Li Zhan set the target parameters, he sent the parameters of the first half of the "chicken cage" to the No. 1 bomb and the parameters of the second half of the hull to the second bomb, and the distance between the two was only a few tens of meters. Whether the two missiles could hit the target that should have been hit, Li Zhan didn't know in his heart.

This kind of precise guidance tests the combat performance of the combination of the integrated tactical pod and the missile, and if it can achieve high-precision strikes, this will be of great significance in actual combat.

The missiles in high-speed flight hit the targets from a height of five meters above the water, and the attack altitude was set by the missile, and the attack was the part that was most likely to cause the most trauma to the ship. A 3M-80 "Bailing" heavy supersonic anti-ship missile can tear apart a 6,000-ton warship, and two simultaneous hits can basically make a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier incapacitated, which is a veritable aircraft carrier killer.

Li Zhan stared intently at the two sections of the "Chicken Coop" that were still struggling on the water, because he couldn't get too close, so he couldn't see the process of the missile hitting, he only saw that the water surface where the two hulls were located suddenly exploded, and the two hulls exploded instantly, and the huge impact force tore through the remaining hulls, and several structures scattered and smashed heavily on the water, and then the smoke and water mist slowly spread.

"Wow!" Niu Jun couldn't help but marvel.

Li Zhan was also shocked by the scene in front of him, he had fired a lot of live ammunition, and had also launched Exocet anti-ship missiles in the Mediterranean Sea before, but those two missiles were urgently intercepted, and no warship was hit by anti-ship weapons at that time, and the scene in front of him was much more shocking than the scene of a dozen Super Hornet fighters catching fire on the flight deck of the Roosevelt.

"It turns out that a heavy anti-ship missile hit a target like this!" Li Zhan also sighed that the scene that seemed to destroy everything in the world made him feel that human beings were really small.

Li Zhan began to approach the "Chicken Coop" and flew around the sky to photograph the damage effect. The "chicken coop" with a displacement of 30,000 or 40,000 tons finally could not hold on, and the two major hulls were sinking rapidly, and there was nothing else floating on the surface of the water except for some small pieces of wreckage. The boat had obviously been cleaned before it was pulled over, and there were no obvious oil stains oozing out of the water, which was quite clean.

After completing the shooting of the damage effect according to the procedure, Li Zhan called the command post, "Command post, the angry old leopard has finished the damage shooting, I don't have enough fuel, I request to make an alternate landing as planned." Complete. ”

"Angry old leopard, you can alternate the landing at the big field station, you have to bypass the air defense shooting airspace, over." The command post was able to see the picture transmitted synchronously by the camera installed on the No. 81198 J-7, and the commander-in-chief was very satisfied with the strike effect.

On the first day, there were no problems in the live firing, and the connection between the various combat units was very tight, and the difference in the timing of the strike was not more than two minutes, which was basically an excellent level. Everyone has also seen the combat effectiveness of the Flying Shark Unit, which has just become an army, and it is worthy of being an ace unit formed by elite pilots among the elite.

Li Zhan bypassed the airspace of the surface detachment's air defense firing and flew to Dachang Station in Xiahai City, where he wanted to replenish fuel and overhaul the fighters and at the same time attach some ammunition, and then take off again at 17 p.m. to carry out the task of striking at fixed targets on the island.

The other fighters of the Flying Shark detachment could not return home, but continued to stick to the airspace over the exercise area after refueling in the air, first, for air defense patrols, and second, to control the no-sail zone. The main force of the air detachment is the Bald Eagle Division, which is subordinate to China Eastern Airlines (East China Sea Fleet Aviation, not Eastern Airlines), and the Flying Shark Squad is just one of the small components.

When Li Zhan arrived at Dachang Station, it was 10:15 in the morning, and he had already flown for more than four hours, and it was also a genuine long voyage.

He landed very carefully, because when he set off from the Fertile Naval Flight Training Base, he was carrying an aviation rocket launcher, which was loaded with live ammunition, which belonged to landing with bombs.

A large number of Flying Leopard fighters are stationed at the Dachang station, which is one of the stations with the highest comprehensive support capability in the coastal zone, and has the ability to support almost all the aircraft of Hainan Airlines in service. After Li Zhan sailed into the tarmac, he immediately had a ground attendant to take over the plane, and immediately launched support for the fighter.

A commuter car took Li Zhan and Niu Jun directly to the guest house to rest and wait for the meal. After lunch, they immediately took a break. Niu Jun was in a state of excitement and couldn't sleep, while Li Zhan fell asleep within two minutes of lying down.

Adequate sleep is the guarantee of a long flight, and after the afternoon sortie will be another day and night, his task is to carry out fire strikes on fixed targets on the islands at the intersection of day and night, mainly using aviation rockets and aerial artillery. This made Li Zhan a little interested, and he preferred to fight precision-guided bombs, such as the LS series of precision-guided bombs and precision-guided missiles with power guidance kits for ordinary aerial bombs.

Air-to-ground missiles and out-of-zone precision munitions are relatively expensive, and he does not dare to expect to be able to fight them frequently, and in the future, it must be low-cost precision-guided bombs that will be used in large quantities, so it is very important to be proficient in the use of precision-guided bombs.

Unfortunately, there was no arrangement for firing guided bombs in this live-fire shooting, and the Bald Eagle Division had to fire several air-to-ground missiles, including the use of air-to-ground missiles to attack moving targets on the surface.

The problem was that Li Zhan had doubts about whether the strike mission in the afternoon would be carried out smoothly. The reason why the exercise command has assigned the Flying Shark squad to be in charge of the control of the no-sail zone is that the timing of the live-fire exercise and the sea area have attracted attention, and there is considerable pressure to prevent outside aircraft and ships from intruding into the no-sail zone and affecting the progress of the exercise.

The mission he took on in the 81198 J-7 itself has a strong support color, and it does not belong to the combat unit. If the forces to control the no-sail zone are insufficient, the exercise command will definitely let him go to the top. After all, everyone believes that the voice of the mad dog in the South China Sea is a sharp weapon for radio expulsion.

At 2:30 p.m., Li Zhan got up on time, Niu Jun was already waiting in the lobby of the guest house, the two quickly rushed to the restaurant for dinner, went to the flight briefing room at 3 o'clock to dress, and after communicating with Dachang Station about the departure route and procedures, they went to the tarmac at 4 o'clock in the afternoon to accept the fighters.

The two auxiliary fuel tanks of the No. 81198 J-7 were filled with aviation fuel, and the fuel tanks in the aircraft were also full, giving the fighter a range of up to 3,800 kilometers. The integrated tactical pod is still there, but the weapons are still the same two 90-millimeter aviation rocket launchers.

Obviously, the exercise headquarters did not make any adjustments to Li Zhan's mission, and after completing the fire attack on the fixed targets on the island, his task was to change to controlling the periphery of the no-navigation zone to ensure the smooth progress of the exercise.

At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, No. 81198 J-7 took off from Dachang Station, flew at a low altitude over a dense residential area, and continued to climb like a passenger plane, heading towards the East China Sea with its back to the sun.

He has a very challenging night ahead.
