The time slowly came to six o'clock, when the sky was already bright, and the area around the devastated Bagua City was full of floating gunsmoke, and all the hot craters had not yet dissipated.

All the wild animals in the Bagua City Wildlife Sanctuary have long been whispering one by one, and the only two lions have no intention of basking in the sun, and they keep pacing in the territory, as if they are looking for a place to hide.

Inside the Bagua City, in the various air-raid shelters, there was still a sound of prayer, the fierce artillery outside did not stop, and the air raid sirens were also sounding all the time.

In front of the console, Li Lan hastily ate the food brought by Natasha, and then focused on the missiles that were flying towards the target at a low altitude.

"Assistant, how long will it take for the missiles to arrive?" The missiles had been launched for an hour, and they were very close to every target.

In order to achieve the purpose of simultaneous attack, the missile is also strictly calculated according to the distance and speed of the target. The target of Djibouti is the closest to Bagua City, only 500 kilometers away. Among the remaining targets, the US Air Force base in Saudi Arabia is the farthest, with a distance of more than 2,200 kilometers, and at a speed of Mach 1.5, it needs to fly for about an hour and a half.

The missiles in the other four directions were well controlled in time in order to achieve the goal of simultaneous attack.

After these missiles left the range of the crack generator, they could not hide from the coalition forces, and Li Lan did not want to hide from them, not only that, but even he deliberately exposed the launch position to the enemy, attracting a burst of missiles and destroying his own missile launch position.

"Twenty-five minutes will be in the enemy's main interception circle."

After getting the assistant's answer, Li Lan directly picked up the phone and called Tanya in the command center. "Immediately execute the second set of counterattack plans."

The missile strikes on the US military base in Djibouti and the military port leased by Japan have already been completed. Officially, because of this war report, Li Lan decided to use the second plan.

And the other four goals. Although the number of missiles launched is large, Li Lan's real killer weapon is not these cruise missiles.

Li Lan has built a powerful shield, and the US military is no exception. Since the Red Guard Corps' war to unify Somalia, the United States has known that Li Lan has missiles, although the outside world is still unclear about the missile data. But none of them have stopped taking precautions.

Therefore, in military bases in Africa and the Middle East, the United States attaches great importance to air defense and anti-missile defense. In particular, those low-flying cruise missiles are the key targets of their vigilance.

For this reason, the US military has even deployed Israel's Iron Dome system to these bases, and this main air defense system, which mainly intercepts rockets, will form a denser air defense network with the US military's own interception network.

In order to achieve the original intention of counterattacking, regardless of whether these cruise missiles will be effective or not, Li Lan also added a second-step plan when formulating counterattack tactics. This is a backup scenario. Now it is also very necessary to use it in order to strengthen the effect of the strike.

If the second plan is to be implemented, then the first counterattack plan is actually to attract firepower to the second plan. The results of the cruise missile strikes on two targets in Djibouti were very unsatisfactory. The Americans were fully prepared for the arrival of more than 60 missiles, and less than 10 of them actually reached the base. As a result, the personnel of this base have been evacuated, and the only losses are those materials that have not had time to be hauled away.

This time the main force was the V-1DD missile. A short- and medium-range ballistic missile with a range of up to three thousand kilometers.

As for whether this ballistic missile can be used to strike the fleet of the US coalition forces, and whether the missiles of other countries can be used, Li Lan is not clear. But this missile of its own does not have such capabilities, at least not at present. Otherwise, now these missiles are not aimed at ground bases, but at the Arab or US Fifth Fleet and the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean.

The first anti-carrier ballistic missile in the world was the Soviet Union's R-27K, the first ballistic missile on Earth with anti-carrier capabilities. It's a good idea, but the problem is that it's not that easy to implement. There are also many technical difficulties to be solved, and all of them are world-level difficulties.

The rumored Chinese DF-21D is known as the killer of American aircraft carriers, but in fact, this statement was made by the United States itself. Even though the US propaganda machine has always used the idea that "a lie will become the truth after 10,000 repetitions," this fact, which has no basis at all, is indeed not very reliable in Li Lan's view. Whether ballistic missiles really have anti-aircraft carrier capabilities needs to be tested in actual combat.

Precision guidance at the end stage. The reentry velocity of ballistic missiles can reach nearly 10 times the supersonic speed. So precision guidance at such a high speed is really a mistake. At this speed, aiming at an aircraft carrier that also detects an incoming missile attack on the sea surface and evades it at high speed, although the difficulty is not as difficult as the perverted interception of a sonic target with a relative speed of 20 times that of the NMD system, the difficulty is not much lower.

In addition, the ballistic missile is bloated, and the short-range Iskander is relatively petite, so the end can reach 13g overload, compared to the guy who is large and can perform high maneuverability is the Soviet A-135, the special missile body is said to be the maximum allowable overload of 30g, you can't expect it to be like a combat missile with an overload of 50g all over the sky. The approximate flight trajectory of a ballistic missile is pre-calculated (otherwise it would not be called a ballistic missile), and although the Topol-M can perform a terminal maneuver to evade interception, it is only a kind of aimless S-shaped maneuver that does not violate the approximate ballistic curve.

At the beginning, the Soviet Union itself did not know the bottom of this relatively extreme way of penetrating defense, otherwise it would not have continued to strengthen the SS-25 and so on, and on the other hand, it would have worked desperately to build a "round hammer", just so that once practice proves that this thing is not easy to use, it will not make the Russians fall into the embarrassment of losing their nuclear shield.

So the precision guidance of the final stage of a ballistic missile is not at all as easy as it is claimed, at least not as easy as accurately hitting a target the size of an aircraft carrier and constantly moving.

Of course, if the ballistic missile is a nuclear bomb, that's fine.

Five minutes after Li Lan's order was given, five missile launchers of the 2nd Mobile Tactical Missile Brigade stopped on the side of the road in the mountains of the Surud Mountains. Under the operation of the hydraulic device, a missile launcher that had been placed on the missile slowly rose and swung more and more straight, and finally became a vertical launch state.

Looking at the five ballistic missiles, these are all V-1DD medium- and short-range ballistic missiles at the Red Alert base, which have the ability to carry unconventional warheads when the base has nuclear bombs, perhaps, this is the most misleading part of him.

As the launcher pressed the launch button vigorously, the solid-fuel rocket engines of the five V-1DD medium- and short-range ballistic missiles that had already been prepared erupted a stinging eye-piercing tail flame, and the entire launcher was immediately wrapped in orange-red fire.

As a large amount of solid fuel burned, the V-1DD ballistic missile flew into a thrust, holding up the ballistic missile, which was 1.2 meters in diameter, 11 meters long, and weighing more than 13 tons, and slowly rose vertically. As the thrust increases, so does the speed at which the missile rises. Soon, five ballistic missiles had flown up several kilometers in the air and began to adjust their attitudes and fly towards a higher altitude.

Soon, the five missiles had successfully approached the atmosphere, leaving a trail of gray in the clear sky of the morning sun. As the scorching north swept away, the last trace of the trail dissipated, as if Somalia had never fired a ballistic missile at anyone else.

Although the Somalis use mobile launches, after launching the missiles, the ground forces immediately move away again, as if nothing had happened. But for today's highly developed technology, to find out what the other party did at the previous moment, it is not necessary to go to the scene to investigate.

Just as the Somali ballistic missiles had been launched, a US military geostationary remote sensing monitoring satellite flew over from an altitude of 36,000 kilometers above the earth, and soon detected five ballistic missiles that penetrated the atmosphere and went straight to an altitude of more than 200 kilometers.

It was only a short moment that made many high-ranking military officials in the United States break out in a cold sweat, but fortunately, the ballistic missiles were not aimed at the mainland of the United States in the first place, and secondly, Somalia did not seem to have nuclear bombs, and there was no information in this regard at all, and then it was concluded that those ballistic missiles were loaded with conventional warheads.

Otherwise, the appearance of a ballistic missile of such a size is enough to increase a lot of misunderstanding among the Americans.

This is just like when the United States wanted to change the Minuteman-3 into a conventional intercontinental missile, which aroused opposition from all over the world. As soon as this thing appeared, it represented a nuclear war, and who knows if it was a nuclear bomb or not, and it was really a conventional warhead. If some people have a hand pump, it's not a Kabida.

At the U.S. Central Command in Georgia, Dempsey was also the first to receive the news of the launch of ballistic missiles from Somalia.

An hour ago, he was very indifferent after receiving hundreds of cruise missiles fired by the Somali side in one go, but now, in the face of five ballistic missiles, he behaved completely opposite to before.

"Hurry up and organize interceptions, don't let these guys fall."

When Dempsey was answered, the current anti-aircraft fire at the four bases was all used to intercept cruise missiles launched by Somalia, and there was no extra means to intercept these ballistic missiles. And the time is almost too late, and it is far from enough to adjust the interception trajectory.

When Somalia launched its satellites, the whole world realized that Somalia already had the scientific and technological foundation for ballistic missile research and development. Now, there is no need for them to guess, Li Lan has already taken out five ballistic missiles, or ballistic missiles with a range of 3,000 kilometers. (To be continued......)
