Chapter 362: Resigned to fate
"It's over the calf, it's time to get away with it!"
Ming Taigong, who is good at fishing, really can't imagine that there are a lot of "wishers". Either you don't come, or you come together.
"Attention the whole ship, the decisive battle has arrived! The water guide quickly assigns the target, the radar room stares at the sky, and the sonar room listens under the sea! Close-in anti-aircraft artillery, anti-aircraft missiles"
Chen Ming, who couldn't help but snort, couldn't sit on Mount Tai anymore. As he quickly gave the order, his eyes were glued to the radar screen.
The first target ship to appear showed signs of making a U-turn, and two ships near port side were extremely close together. I have a 548 by my side, plus one behind my ass.
The stage has been set up and the actors have been put in place. It was as if there was silence before the curtain opened in the theater, and although everyone knew each other's positions, all the ships were a bit of a mouse-thrower, and no one was the first to fire.
Chen Ming thought about the reason for a while, which should be related to the fact that the air defense missile has been changed from "cold launch" to "hot launch" in recent years.
The so-called cold launch means that the missile is pushed out with the help of external force, and after it is sent to a certain altitude, the rocket engine of the missile itself begins to ignite and propulsion. The thermal launch is based on the combustion of its own engine compartment and then launched.
Chen Ming does not evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the two, but in this situation at the moment. The hot launch is undoubtedly higher than the cold launch speed in terms of reaction speed and time, so that no one has moved on all the ships now.
Even Chen Ming didn't dare to give the order to fire at this moment. Chen Ming still understands the reason for shooting the first bird, in case he is set on fire by the remaining five ships because he fired first, it is estimated that the gods will not be able to save 575.
The situation fell into an embarrassing stalemate for a while, except that 548 couldn't move on his stomach. The rest of the ships are in constant motion, trying to find the best position for them. But no one was able to do so.
Those who have survived until now are human spirits, once there is a ship that wants to cut in, or stay away. One or two ships in the vicinity will take on an attack stance.
This time, it stiffened again.
At this moment, on the sea surface of the 07 Sea, several warships seem to be scurrying around like headless flies.
"Water conduction, is the target allocation for anti-ship missiles ready?"
Listening to the alarm sound locked by the fire control radar in his ears from time to time, Chen Ming rubbed his slightly swollen temples and asked.
"Ready! But Captain, are we really not going to attack 548? ”
The chief of the water guide asked as he operated. Although the oppressive atmosphere in the war room at this time made him feel that he should not ask questions at this point in time, the curiosity and apprehension in his heart could not be suppressed.
Originally, the situation was like this, and it was pointless to keep 548 fishing. On the contrary, now 548 is the weakest and best ship to fight, after all, it can't move. Why don't you knock it out first, so maybe if you're lucky, you can make it to the top three and survive to the next round?
"No, 548, let's not move, they will definitely move! In that case, why waste firepower. ”
Pushing himself and others, Chen Ming felt that the more he understood the temptation on the surface, the more people couldn't help it. Since there will definitely be firepower to cover 548, and 548 has the greatest chance of being hit and is the easiest to get out first, so why waste firepower again?
After all, as a frigate positioned for air defense and anti-submarine warfare, the number of anti-ship missile launchers on the ship is extremely limited, and it is simply impossible to cover all targets at one time.
While silently preparing, Chen Ming knocked on the table and calculated.
At this moment, the biggest threat to himself is the ship that has been hanging behind him. The position of the two sides is roughly that Chen Ming's 575 ship is at the T-shaped horizontal end, and the other side is at the T-shaped vertical end.
If this was still the era of giant ships and cannons during World War II, Chen Ming would definitely directly order to open fire and attack. After all, at that time, warships mainly relied on the ship's naval guns to attack, and today's warships generally only symbolically retain a former main gun. The caliber is also cut so that it doesn't look like a naval gun at all.
And for weapons such as missiles, it's the same for both sides. It's just that under the same conditions, the opponent's torpedoes, naval guns, and anti-ship missiles can attack themselves, while on their own side, only anti-ship missiles can threaten the opponent.
And other ships, relatively speaking, the threat to themselves is not so high for the time being. At too far away, the threat of ship artillery is significantly reduced, as for missiles.
It's just a matter of luck to see how many targets you face at the same time, and then how many missiles you can successfully intercept.
There was a jamming missile launcher installed on the tail of the ship, but Chen Ming only made symbolic preparations for launch. With the development of guidance technology, today's missiles often have artificial relay guidance during flight, which is rarely the same as the old missiles.
The missile hits out, relying only on its own infrared guidance to find the target. What's more, in addition to these, there are also some guidance modes such as laser guidance and so on. Jamming bombs can have an effect, and you can't say that you don't have any, but you definitely can't expect too much from this thing.
Time passed bit by bit. Outside the ship, there was also a crackling sound. This was the sound of rain falling on the deck, and Chen Ming sighed at the patience of these people as he got up and moved his body, which was slightly stiff from maintaining a high level of concentration for a long time.
"Report to the captain, call from the director's department. The 548 ship took the initiative to withdraw from the assessment! ”
"What?!"
Hearing that this "softest persimmon" and "temporary comrade-in-arms" took the initiative to withdraw from the exercise, Chen Ming's heart jumped!
"Not good! Order, all weapons, according to the set goals, quickly fire! ”
The impact of the 548 ship's voluntary withdrawal from the exercise is not as simple as Chen Ming missing a comrade-in-arms. But when there are 548 there, more or less the captain will pay attention to the first one on its head, and there is a way that one for one does not lose, one for two blood to earn.
In this way, the distribution of firepower will inevitably be relatively dispersed in a limited time. With this, the air defense pressure faced by Chen Ming's side decreased, but with the sudden withdrawal of the 548 ship.
Only each other remained of the remaining 5 ships, and the soft persimmons were gone. Everyone doesn't want to pick peaches, they can only hit the hard. So here's the problem, according to the notice of the director's department, it can be clearly deduced that there is only one frigate left on the field except for himself, and all the rest are destroyers.
Due to positioning, the 575 ship is equipped with only two 4-pack anti-ship missile launchers, that is, the number of anti-ship missiles that the 575 ship can launch in a short period of time is only eight. And thinking about those destroyers, the dense missile launch slots, Chen Ming couldn't be calm anymore.
"Close-in anti-aircraft artillery, anti-aircraft missiles, get ready! The damage management team, in addition to fatal damage, prioritizes operations on the main cabins! ”
After a series of orders were issued, Chen Ming said in a relaxed tone as much as possible.
"Detect that there are missiles attacking our ship, and shoot out all the jamming bombs as soon as possible! For the rest, leave it to fate! ”
