Chapter 482: Thriller! Night Raid!
It's fast and it's the first night!
The people on the Aegis ship, having dinner together.
Captain Rodney was there, holding a spoon and eating a salad. And at this moment, the deputy captain sat down with a plate.
"How?" Rodney asked.
"The matter has been done, the cage has been made, and Captain James is sleeping.
I told them that no one should bother Captain James. He needs a break! The deputy captain said.
"Very good, tomorrow, we will all be promoted, come and celebrate first!"
Rodney raised his glass, looked at each other and smiled at the co-captain, and the two of them drank it all.
..................................................
"Buzz! Airplanes! ......”
Suddenly, just as everyone was having dinner, there was a loud buzz overhead.
This kind of humming is probably too familiar to all the people present.
It's the flying ants on Kirishima, the sound they make when they flap their wings.
"Damn, don't they sleep at night?" The vice-captain got up and grumbled loudly.
"Let's go, let's go to the command room and get the battle teams ready!" Captain Rodney said.
"Okay, I'll go,....... Bastards, don't eat it, quick, quick! ......”
The deputy captain shouted and scolded, and everyone ran out of the canteen and ran to their posts.
At the same time, Rodney and the co-captain also arrived in the command room.
Fortunately, the radar system was repaired, and they saw dense white dots on top of the radar.
The white dots flickered and flashed, and it looked like there were thousands of them.
"O my God! How many of them? The deputy captain said in surprise.
"It's okay, fortunately we have enough missiles, order the missile department to prepare, first annihilate most of the flying ants, and then the rest, we can completely use machine guns to ,......deal with it," Rodney said.
"Okay captain, let them do it!" The deputy captain answered, and then there was an operational staff officer to issue the order.
The missile department was ready, the target was locked, and two Tomahawk cruise missiles, almost at the same time, rose into the air to meet the army of flying ants.
"Woo! Woo! ......”
The Tomahawk cruise missile, which changed direction in the air, flew at subsonic speeds towards the army of flying ants.
On the screen of the radar, Captain Rodney saw it clearly.
And if these two missiles exploded in the left and right armies of the flying ants at the same time, he could at least annihilate more than half of the flying ants, at least a thousand.
And the remaining flying ants pose no threat to them at all.
"Phew! Phew! ......”
The missile is still flying and is about to fall into the colony of flying ants.
And Rodney smiled because of this. He thinks that he will win this battle easily.
But no, at this moment, the white dots on the radar screen are scattering.
It turned out to be dense, but at this time it was densely packed.
"Damn, how did they separate?" The deputy captain shouted, and the people from the missile department also called and asked whether to detonate the Tomahawk cruise missile.
"What to do? Captain? The co-captain asked, but Rodney didn't answer.
His eyes were staring at the screen, and at the same time, two Tomahawk cruise missiles had already penetrated into the army of flying ants.
Those flying ants are like locusts that are flying fast. Some lay on the missiles and began to bite the steel monsters that flew in.
Some of the flying ants were rapidly flying away, expanding their formation into a huge net, divided into left and right, and lined up like wings, surrounding the Aegis ship.
"Damn! Give me the detonator,......" Rodney finally ordered, the missile department, and quickly activated the detonating device.
Two Tomahawk cruise missiles, which had just been torn apart by the huge jaws of the flying ants, exploded with a bang.
"Boom!"
The violent explosion formed a sky-high fire, and the fire expanded to a radius of several hundred meters from the point where it hit the center of the explosion.
The instantaneous impact blasted all those flying ants out, and the high temperature in the moment ignited the wings of the flying ants.
The bodies of the flying ants ignited, and then one by one, they were thrown out of the center by the impact of the explosion.
Most of the flying ants were burned out by the impact of the explosion and the high temperature, but there were also flying ants, like fiery meteors, which fell to the ground and shattered.
But at the moment, this is only the beginning of this war.
Rodney's two missiles did annihilate hundreds of flying ants.
But there are a lot of flying ants, and they have already surrounded the Aegis ship.
On the warship, the convoy was assembled, some armed with submachine guns, while others were carrying high-speed machine guns and set up on the deck, ready to fire into the sky.
"Buzz! Airplanes! ......”
At the same time, the flying ants have just flown away from the coastline, and the flying ants will not be more than two kilometers away from the Aegis ship in a straight line.
The distance of 2,000 meters made the escort on the warship only pass through the night vision device and stare with their eyes.
And if there were no night vision devices, I am afraid that they would be frightened by those huge buzzing sounds at this time, and they would turn around and run.
......................................................
On another cruise ship, people who were resting in the cockpit heard in vain the sirens and violent explosions.
Old Tom woke up, and someone had already seen the fire outside through the window, and hurriedly ran back and said, "Captain, you're right, those monsters actually came to attack at night,......
"Go, put the anchor away, don't start, let this ship drift in the direction of the current.
Turn off all the lights in the cabin,......."
The old captain got up and ordered, looking out through the window.
His bloodshot eyes were wide open, as if he wanted to see through the window the battle outside.
"Tubu! ...... Bang bang! ......”
Sure enough, the battle began, and when the flying ants were less than a thousand meters away from the ship, the main guns on the Aegis ship had already opened fire.
This is a caliber 127 mm high-level dual-purpose naval gun developed by the Northern Ordnance Department of the American Food Machinery Corporation.
It is mainly used for air defense operations of medium or large ships, or to strike sea and shore targets.
After World War II, it was remanufactured on the basis of the MK39 127 mm naval gun.
The gun consists of a firing system, a feed system, a gun mount, a turret, a follower system, ammunition and an electrical part.
The MK18 barrel and automaton are adopted, the gun latch is a vertical wedge, and the ammunition feeding system is composed of 2 drums, 2 downward projectiles and 1 upward projectile mechanism.
It uses an enclosed steel turret with grenades, high-capacity thin-walled shells, flares, and more.
But at this time, it was not these munitions that were fired, but even more powerful fragmentation grenades.
This grenade is shot out and explodes in the air, with a radius of more than 120 meters,.......
