At this moment, if there is one word to describe the mood of Gottney at this moment, it is the only way to regret it.

Somalia has ballistic missiles with a range of more than 2,000 kilometers, which is a very accurate piece of information, which has been well verified by the US military at the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia. The Prince Sultan airbase is located more than 2,400 kilometers from Bagua City, and two Somali medium-range ballistic missiles successfully destroyed it.

If it is a cautious commander, he will inevitably guard against this hand. Keep your naval formation as far away as possible from Somalia at least 3,000 kilometers away from the enemy's ballistic missiles to prevent them from being hit.

However, since World War II, there has never been a naval battle of parity, and ballistic missiles hitting aircraft carriers have only been hyped up by the Americans themselves. According to the defense power of the US aircraft carrier battle group, a saturation strike with less than 50 ballistic missiles will not be able to pose a threat to the aircraft carrier.

Even if the hyped Chinese aircraft carrier killer DF-21D, the number of Chinese aircraft carriers owned by China is only a few dozen, which is still an overestimated value. The range of the DF-21D is 2,500 kilometers, and at this distance, the coalition fleet is 2,800 kilometers away from Somalia, which is considered a safe position.

In addition to the Gottney accident, it also has a lot to do with the estimation of American think tanks. According to the estimates of US think tanks, even if Somalia has ballistic missiles, its range will not exceed 2,500 kilometers. It is likely that it is a missile designed on the basis of the Chinese DF-21 ballistic missile. It cannot be ruled out that China sent experts to Somalia to carry out missile development and production work. This analysis is not without basis, according to the first time Somalia exposed the ballistic missile, satellite photos show that the missile's diameter ratio, length and width data, are very similar to the Chinese DF-21.

Now the coalition fleet has paid the price for such carelessness and speculation. If this war was really lost, then the coalition forces failed. Not quantitatively and strategically. Rather, he lost completely in ignorance of his opponent. If this war had broken out against either of China and Russia, the coalition would not have been so helpless. Because the major powers have a high understanding of each other, the success or failure of victory or defeat is directly determined by who is more strategic. One or two weapons are advanced, think more than confrontation between countries. It can make a difference. It won't be huge.

"Full speed back!" There is no regret medicine in the world. Looking at the two supercarriers that were still billowing with smoke from afar, Gothni, who had stabilized all his emotions, ordered without hesitation.

At this time, even if he let the planes on another aircraft carrier take off to meet the enemy, it must be a drop in the bucket. It can only stop the attack for a while, and the opponent's missiles will once again loom over their heads, and then they will be destroyed.

It's just that in less than a minute, a Lincoln loses its combat effectiveness, but fortunately the power is undamaged, as long as the flames are extinguished and returned to the United States for overhaul, there is no problem in continuing to serve. However, the Bush was not so lucky, and was directly hit by four missiles, and the high-speed impact and the explosion of the high-explosive warhead caused the 100,000-ton sea giant to tilt and the island to disappear completely. A huge crater runs through the deck of the aircraft carrier, causing the structure of the entire aircraft carrier to be seriously distorted, and the huge explosion completely erodes the interior of the aircraft carrier. Seawater has already begun to pour in, and if it weren't for the special reinforcement of the aviation fuel and ammunition depots, and the fact that the two missiles did not hit directly, I am afraid that by these times, the Bush would have completely turned into a steel city on the sea.

Despite such a heavy blow, the Bush was still floating at sea, and the power system was not completely lost. However, the bridge was lost, the hull was seriously damaged, and the aircraft carrier had lost its ability to move, and even if it was towed back, it could only be completely scrapped.

The US fleet that received the order did not run frantically like a lost dog, but still maintained a battle formation, but the USS Bush, the largest warship in this formation, had fallen behind the fleet at this time, and after breaking away from the fleet's comprehensive protection, more missiles fell on it. And Gotney, seeing that there was no hope of rescue, ordered the American servicemen on the aircraft carrier to start abandoning the ship. There was a hint of anger in his eyes, but he knew that their danger was not over, as a group of hunters were chasing them frantically, trying to eat them.

Two aircraft carriers, the Lincoln is still able to move and must be taken away, which is also the only chance to save himself. But in this naval battle, the coalition fleet, which currently has only one aircraft carrier left, is no longer able to confront the two aircraft carriers of the Somali fleet. And a large number of carrier-based aircraft in Somalia have been caught in the back of their ass.

Gothni, who had lost his most delusional illusion and had clearly understood the other party's intentions, had seen strong winds and waves after all, and quickly calmed down. The order: "Order the fleet to change course, move against the wind, and keep the ships in dense formation!" Get the planes on the USS Roosevelt ready to take off! Let them guard the skies above us! After the plane is completely airborne, immediately retreat south! The carrier-based aircraft of the former USS Lincoln and USS Bush were ordered to coordinate and hold the fleet's outer defense line. ”

The Gothneys now have to shrink the entire fleet and let the remaining aircraft protect the fleet's airspace, so that the opponent's aircraft can only attack beyond visual range, and the accuracy of such attacks is generally relatively small, and it can also give the fleet enough reaction time to reduce a lot of losses.

While Gotney was doing everything possible to get rid of the pursuit of the Somali Air Force, the Somali Indian Ocean Fleet, which was trailing behind Gothny, was also in a little trouble.

Aboard the Carlin, Suleiman was thinking about how he could suppress the speed of the coalition naval battle group so that he could catch up and take advantage of the opportunity to inflict heavy damage. An operational staff officer put a telegram in front of Suleiman, and after Suleiman read it, his face couldn't help but change: "How many teams are in charge of the pursuit?" ”

"It's the third detachment! Commander, they can't be blamed for this. Suddenly there was a strong wind, the waves were too big, the tonnage of the multi-purpose destroyer was relatively small, and it could not withstand the sea conditions above level 4 at all, even if they did not give up the pursuit, they would lose their targets because of this big wave! The combat staff officer hurriedly explained. He was afraid that Suleiman would be angry and the entire detachment would be punished.

Hearing the combat staff officer say this, Suleiman's originally tense face finally relaxed, and one hand played back and forth on the table, thinking about what he should do. This was an unexpected surprise that Suleiman did not expect. An American attack submarine escaped at this time. At a time like this, it can definitely cause enough trouble for itself. And the one who managed to escape with the help of the forces of nature was the nuclear-powered attack submarine USS San Francisco.

"It seems that the Americans should thank God! Keep on the pursuit! Strengthen anti-submarine reconnaissance! Suleiman reluctantly put down the telegram in his hand, since it had happened, it was futile to hold anyone responsible, and they had done their best. Tell the second detachment. Immediately go to the first detachment. This time I asked them to sink as many American submarines as possible! ”

The first detachment in Suleiman's mouth was the multifunctional destroyer detachment responsible for encircling and suppressing another Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine.

As in a normal aircraft carrier formation. The Scorpion is responsible for the close escort of the two-carrier battle group. Undertake the work of filling the air defense and anti-submarine leaks of the fleet, and if necessary, also need to be the meat shield of the aircraft carrier. The Aegis warships, which are very powerful in combat, are responsible for the air defense and anti-submarine work of the fleet at a distance of 200 nautical miles. The real anti-aircraft and anti-submarine network of the entire fleet reached 500 kilometers.

On the periphery of the fleet, because the attack nuclear submarines are all around the coalition fleet, the outermost anti-submarine tasks are all undertaken by multifunctional destroyers. Although multifunctional destroyers also have multifunctional combat missions such as air defense, anti-submarine, and anti-ship, the priority task is the joint anti-submarine work of the fleet, and the anti-submarine helicopters on the ships are the best combat effectiveness.

If necessary, anti-submarine helicopters on amphibious assault ships in the twin carrier battle groups can also be called in for long-range support.

Just when Suleiman was very depressed, the American servicemen on the San Francisco, hidden deep at the bottom of the sea, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they finally took advantage of the sudden wind on the sea to avoid their nemesis, and finally survived the most dangerous three hours.

Captain Miller, who was standing in the command position, finally sat down in his chair, closed his eyes slightly, and finally relieved his nerves, which had been tense for several days. While saying: "To the southeast, we are ready to cross the equator!" ”

Since the San Francisco submarine did not choose to surface to contact his fleet in the first place, Gottney did not know that his submarine had successfully escaped from the pursuit of the Somalis, and what he was most concerned about now was how the hundreds of Somali carrier-based planes that were rushing towards him behind him could escape from their mouths.

"Poor Americans! See how I clean you up! A pilot said involuntarily after looking at the figure of the American fleet that had appeared on his airborne radar. After the more than 20 Red Alert pilots who fought bravely from the US interception line joined up with their comrades who flew from the southeast, they quickly caught up with their prey.

"Attention units, there are enemy planes flying towards us, the brothers of the first squadron are responsible for interception, and the second squadron is making a breakthrough!" With the distribution of the team leader in the headset, the whole group is divided into two parts very tacitly. There was no merit in the making, and the planes from the southeast, led by their captain, immediately pounced on the interceptors. And the naval planes slightly lowered some altitude, ready to slip from below, and then began to attack the American fleet.

"Ladies and gentlemen, watch my show!" After successfully locking on to an intercepting U.S. plane, an Air Force pilot shouted over the communicator.

Missiles and missiles are missiles, and the missiles launched by Chinese and American fighters have drawn countless white long queues in the air, but so far, the two sides seem to be inseparable, but if you let outsiders look at it, Somali planes do not occupy too many advantages, and even many dangers, and many times it is Somali fighters who are evading the interception of American planes. Although there are only about 80 US fighters that came to intercept them, they are all Super Hornets, and there is a system similar to regional cooperation on this model, which can connect all their planes to form a whole, so as to ensure that they can quickly know the situation of the entire airspace in the absence of early warning planes, and analyze the enemy and the enemy. In this regard, the Red Alert's Wasp carrier-based aircraft can only coordinate operations alone or through the contact of the communicator, which is far inferior to the tacit cooperation of the other side. However, the Somali fighters still have a certain advantage in numbers, and at this time they are highly concentrated, and they are temporarily on a par, but people's energy is limited, and once they lose concentration, they will be in danger.

As for the fighters that attacked the US fleet, they successfully bypassed the interception of the US planes and flew directly towards the fleet. Generally speaking, the range of air-to-ship missiles carried by aircraft is longer than that of ship-to-air missiles carried by warships, so it can be said that aircraft attack ships have a great advantage. But. They are facing the US military this time. The country with the most powerful naval forces on the planet. Therefore, when they had just flown into a place still a hundred kilometers away from the fleet, before they could lock on the warship, the ship-to-air missiles on the US warship had successfully locked onto them.

"Yes. These Yankees! "After the commander of the entire sneak attack unit heard the alarm from the aircraft. I couldn't help but curse in the communicator. Then a quick lift prepares to make a U-turn. At such a long distance, he only needs to fly out of the range of the opponent's missile, and there is no threat at all. But he also knew that the other party just wanted to interfere with him. And did not fantasize about being able to shoot down himself.

"Freedom to attack!" He made movements as he gave orders in the communicator. Except for the planes that were locked by the missiles and doing the same thing as him, the other planes quickly split into groups of two and scattered in all directions, ready to find the fighters.

"The Somalis are still catching up, and they have to resign themselves to fate!" Gottney couldn't help but sigh when he saw the number of Somali fighters on the radar screen. Even the military advisers and those operational staff officers around him did not speak at this time, and in such a situation, they really had no way to do anything. Who let them always press others to beat, and the first time they met themselves being pressed and beaten by others, they seemed a little helpless.

"Commander, the telegram is from the submarine USS San Francisco!" Just when there was silence in the entire command room, an operations staff officer shouted loudly. This made Gothney's eyes light up slightly, as if he had grasped a life-saving straw. Immediately came back to God and said, "Where are they now?" What about the San Francisco? ”

"According to their report, they are now two hundred nautical miles southwest of the Maldives, they have just escaped from the encirclement of the Somali destroyer, the hull is seriously wounded, and they are ready to reach the vicinity of the equator and then turn back to the south!"

"Tell the order to immediately launch a missile attack on Bossaso and send them the coordinates of the missile position we have just found the opponent!" Gottney said unceremoniously. Originally, I had planned to use the improved Tomahawk cruise missile to complete this task, but because the other party was chasing and killing all the way, I only remembered it after I got out of the range of the Tomahawk, so I had to give up. Now the location of the submarine is known, and the USS San Francisco nuclear submarine has Tomahawk missiles on board, which is just enough to complete this task. Only in this way can you attract the attention of the other person and make yourself successful.

"General, they hope to be able to refuse this matter, because they have been attacked by the other side one after another in the past few hours, and many places are damaged, and they may not be able to complete this task!"

"If they want to collect my body, let them refuse!" Gottney almost roared.

The missiles fired by Somali fighters have been flying towards the US fleet, and with the help of the Aegis system, none of these missiles have hit the US ships, and they have either exploded in the air or been jammed and flew into the sea under the repeated screams of US soldiers. The commander of the carrier-based aircraft again ordered all the detachments to gather, hit two targets, split all the missiles into three waves and attack them, and then returned with all the planes without hesitation.

Poor Kou Mo Chase! This is the wise saying of the Chinese, since you can't expand the results again, then choose to give up, otherwise you will blindly chase and fight, and it is very likely that you will fall into the trap of the other party. As for these missiles, despite the efforts of the Americans, three missiles still hit the two missile destroyers, one of which lost power on the spot, and the other was heavily damaged.

As mentioned earlier, after more than 10 minutes of entanglement, the 12 Wasp carrier-based planes were shot down by the US military. Just when the U.S. military was trying to expand the results of the war, they found that the Somali planes attacking their fleet had returned, and under the trap of the front and rear, the U.S. military could only leave behind ten umbrellas and flee in a hurry.

On the San Francisco nuclear submarine, after receiving Gottney's order, the captain hesitated for a moment, or absolutely followed Gottney's instructions to attack, in order to avoid accidents, the captain did not choose to attack by submarine launch, but risky chose to surface. The missile launch cover on San Francisco Ridge slowly opened, revealing sixteen murderous missiles. After entering the target position, one missile flew out of the submarine, followed by three more missiles in the distance, and after completing the mission, San Francisco immediately dived underwater and began to retreat.

Although the Somali missile unit withdrew from its missile position as soon as possible under the command of Chen Yongqiang, its movements were still a little slower, and the incoming missiles successfully hit the two missile vehicles that left after the last day. However, fortunately, because Chen Yongqiang urged more violently, the two missile launchers did not have time to replenish the missiles and avoided a secondary explosion.

When Chen Yongqiang told Su Laiman the news, Su Leiman, who had been prepared for a long time, still couldn't accept such a result, so he could only shake his head helplessly. What made him even more sad was that another American submarine, the Atlanta, was also favored by God and disappeared without a trace after a gale.

Suleiman, while strengthening anti-submarine vigilance, continued to the sea area where the US military began to be stationed, because there was its own trophy - the USS Bush.

However, Gotney did not throw the ship to Suleiman so easily, but ordered the ship's crew to shut down the nuclear reactor and take out all the nuclear fuel when they were evacuated, and then activated the self-detonation system. Although this system could not send the warship to the bottom of the sea after the explosion, the entire warship was absolutely riddled with holes and had no repair value. And when Suleiman arrived at this place, he saw such a scene.

The former giant, at this time lonely with the sea drifting, the entire aircraft carrier except for the hull and the waterline less than ten meters above the waterline still remain the same, other places are more like an unfinished building, and after a fire, this warship looks more like a ghost ship, people can't help but feel a little frightened.

"The Americans are really ruthless!" When Suleiman saw this scene, he endured it for a long time and finally popped up with such a sentence. Chen Yongqiang's losses had already been reported to Su Leiman, and Su Leiman originally thought that he could get some money back from this, but he didn't expect that this would be the result.

However, Suleiman seems to have forgotten that he seems to be more ruthless than the Americans. Although the battle lasted only three hours from beginning to end, the Americans paid for it with an aircraft carrier, an aircraft carrier with heavy losses, more than eighty aircraft of all kinds, a missile destroyer running aground, a missile destroyer with heavy losses and thousands of casualties.

Somalia lost only 13 warplanes, two medium-range ballistic missile launchers and 34 casualties.

In this battle, the Red Guard Corps won not a high casualty ratio, and the focus was not on the two aircraft carriers. Rather, it is the international status that has been raised from this war.

The United States has dominated the world for decades, and its greatest reliance is on nuclear weapons, which are the 11 aircraft carrier battle groups. Defeat a small country's navy of several hundred tons, and people will only say that you bully the small with the big, and there is nothing to be proud of. But this time, it was the two US supercarriers that became the stepping stone for the rise of the Somali Navy, and the subsequent effects were the real big gains of this war.

The right to speak internationally has always been in the hands of powerful countries. In particular, countries that have risen from wars have used hegemons to achieve their prestige, and they have been able to accomplish such a feat, and throughout the history of human development, few people have been able to do it.
