Chapter 362: A Bird of Prey Coming and Going

As the rainy season in East Africa dissipates, the night in the Gulf of Aden, which should be reflected in the galaxy, has no normal tranquility.

All the naval vessels of various countries escorting ships in the Gulf of Aden sounded the battle alarm in the early morning of East African time, and the head-numbing missile swarms continued to pass over the waters of the Gulf of Aden, and the piercing sirens were constantly staged on the warships of various countries.

Like Li Lan, these warships were the first group of people to know about the outbreak of the war, and the radar warning system on the warships detected the missiles dozens of kilometers away from Somalia.

In the absence of this aiming, all the warships maintained considerable restraint, and the helicopters in the sky, which were supposed to carry out night escort patrols, returned home as soon as possible.

All warships are kept in a very high state of true cover, and all kinds of detection equipment and radars are turned on.

Although it was not their war, it did not prevent them from collecting intelligence and data.

Just as the Americans were surprised, the strength of the Somali anti-aircraft fire was beyond the expectations of everyone on these convoys. When the first wave of missiles appeared, many people thought that Somalia was finished. As a result, the intensity of anti-aircraft fire never decreased, although the explosions from the Somali side never stopped.

With the passage of time, the escort formations of various countries also began to stay away from this sea area in the spirit of not caring about themselves, so as not to be injured by mistake.

This also includes the Chinese Navy's Gulf of Aden escort formation, which is returning from the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden on the 052C Lanzhou guided missile destroyer. The ship's Aegis radar system has been turned on.

Nowadays, the entire Gulf of Aden is full of radar electromagnetic beams. In such a complex electromagnetic environment, there is no fear that your radar signal will be detected.

As an advanced combat ship. The Lanzhou can be used as a signal collection vessel, whether it is missile data from the US military or signals from the Somali air defense system, they are the target of their collection. This, of course, is also followed by radio signals emitted from warships of other countries in the Gulf of Aden.

Of course, the main thing is to look at the evolution of this war, and this time they are so concerned about the situation in Somalia because the number one leader personally ordered that if the situation of the war is not in Somalia. A decisive decision must be made to cover Li Lan's evacuation work. If necessary, it is entirely possible to join forces with the Somali Navy and carry out this task at any cost.

This order has just been issued to warships, and the entire escort fleet in the Gulf of Aden has received this order.

As a soldier, no one questioned why such an order should be issued. As for the figure of Li Lan, rumors have long been rampant in the Chinese military. As men, there is nothing they do not admire Li Lan's courage. But as a guardian of the nation. They didn't understand why Li Lan wanted to go to Somalia. In China, with his talent, the opportunities and environment for development are better than Somalia. And if Somalia has these weapons and equipment. If it is used to equip its own army, China's current military strength will inevitably make a huge leap.

Especially those two aircraft carriers. It's just a baby, China's dream of the Navy and the dream of an aircraft carrier for decades. As a member of the navy, they are the most practical. Online. Some people began to pop up and call Li Lan treason. Although the starting point of this tone itself is malicious and has been criticized by countless people, it has also caused many people to think.

However, none of this has much to do with the military. If you don't understand it, you don't understand it, but they believe that if the state protects Li Lan so much, there will naturally be a reason for the state. Perhaps in the places where they don't know the way, there are some great interests involved.

In the combat service center, Captain Liu Xiaobo played with a small note, on which a secret communication channel was recorded, and this kind of secret channel was only able to receive and send information by the equipment on the warship. And it must also belong to the same high-performance ship, such as the Chinese Aegis combat system, or the American Aegis system.

However, the frequency band recorded in the note in Liu Xiaobo's hand was not used to communicate with US warships, and only another fleet equipped with the Aegis combat system could receive the news of the disappearance. The internal communication channel of the official Somali Navy's Aegis combat system recorded in this note is theoretically unknown only to the internal warships of the Red Guard Regiment.

At this moment, the four military chiefs on the Lanzhou ship are listening to the operational command orders of the naval fleet of the Red Guard Corps according to this channel.

This channel was given by Li Lan to the No. 1 chief, and the No. 1 chief handed over to the Lanzhou ship of the Gulf of Aden escort fleet, and when necessary, the Lanzhou ship could directly communicate with the Somali Navy to launch an operation to rescue Li Lan.

Regardless of whether you actually use this channel or not, it is still a good choice to listen to the command system of the Somali Navy. Of course, in order to avoid misunderstandings and troubles, this matter still has to be carried out secretly.

Since it was an internal communication, they could hear direct combat orders.

After listening to it for two hours, Liu Haibo summed it up: "The command is orderly, there is no hesitation or panic, there is no delay in the execution of the troops, and the warships have strong continuous combat capabilities, so I might as well wait." ”

"I'm curious, there are rumors all over the world that we secretly trained these Somali soldiers, but is it or not? If there really is a great secret strategic layout at the top, but this is also amazing, what we are still exploring now, students have already played freely. ”

"If anyone were to tell me that these guys were American sailors, I wouldn't doubt it at all. If it weren't for the fluency in Mandarin during the command, I wouldn't even have believed my ears. ”

"This kind of command and execution ability, if we have to say that we have taught it, the fact is that we can all be other people's students."

"It's useless to say this, I have to say, I think it's better to apply to Li Lan to go to the Somali warship and personally participate in this war and watch how they fight the US imperialists. Anyway, we don't have a communication problem, these little blacks, Mandarin is smoother than ours. ”

"You think too much, if you can go up, it won't be our turn to get up, it is estimated that countless people want to go up and see how these little blacks fought against the American imperialists."

……

As soon as Liu Haibo started the conversation, the four people in the combat logistics center began to discuss, and in general, in a word, these Somalis are bold enough, and their combat quality is also worthy of their affirmation, and they are very admired for their command and dispatch of the officers.

"Report!" While they were talking, the radar chief came over and reported: "The Chinese Aegis system has found six suspicious low-altitude looming targets, twenty nautical miles away from us, and the direction of the target is the Somali Bagua City. According to database analysis, there is a high probability that it is the F-22 of the US military. ”

"The Americans are getting bigger and bigger, but why don't they kill these Somali warships, what are they always doing in Bagua City?" Liu Haibo was a little puzzled.

"Leave this alone for now, do you want to inform the Somali Navy?" The co-captain asked.

"Don't really say it, this fifth-generation aircraft is good, and it took us twenty nautical miles to find out, and if there are a few missiles, it will be dangerous." Liu Haibo scratched his hair, and after a sentence of emotion, he also had an idea in his heart, "We have listened to people singing a big drama for a long time, so we have to give a little greeting gift to inform the Somali Navy about the F-22 fighter." The war can't help, and it can only help them a little in terms of intelligence. ”

——————

In fact, there is no need for notice from the Lanzhou ship of the Chinese Navy, the base has already been discovered when these six Raptor fighters appeared in the sky over southern Yemen. The 400-kilometer warning circle of the base is not a dry meal.

However, it is one thing to know the way, but it is another thing to intercept it. A large amount of firepower is concentrated in the three missile defense circles of the far, medium, and near directions, and in addition to the eleventh wave of missile attacks by the coalition forces, a large number of air defense missiles are intercepted in the direction of the enemy's cruise missiles. This also led to a blank spot in the appearance of intercepting fire.

This is the most feared situation in dealing with saturation attacks, and once there is a gap in interception firepower, it is very likely that the opponent will take advantage of the loophole.

In the console, Li Lan looked at the six small dots on the map that were approaching quickly, and he was also very anxious.

This is already the eleventh wave of the enemy's missile strikes, and the number of missiles in this wave has also reached two hundred, for which the base must prepare at least three hundred interceptor missiles.

A large number of missiles of the coalition forces were launched like a stream of water, and the money was also consumed like a stream. However, Li Lan is not light-hearted, and the powerful interception network is mainly the Patriot missile units that rely on regional interception capabilities, and in many cases, in order to intercept a cruise missile, they use up more than two interceptor missiles.

If it is said that the coalition forces spend money like flowing water, then Li Lan's capital consumption is like the discharge of floods from the Three Gorges, which is much more terrifying than flowing water.

A large number of weapons stocks are consumed, and it is the breath in my heart that I fight.

"The target has entered supersonic speeds and is three hundred and fifty kilometers from the base."

"Assistant, don't bother with these planes, they specialize in intercepting the missiles they launch." After thinking about it for a long time, in order to avoid a gap in the interceptor missiles, Li Lan could only give up the idea of shooting down these six Raptor fighters, but he did not give up completely, "However, if these six fighters dare to enter the airspace of 200 kilometers, they will shoot me down directly." ”

As a result, Li Lan thought too much, and Somalia has already shot down two F-22s, so the United States will naturally be very cautious. At a distance of 280 kilometers from Bagua City, these six Raptor fighters opened their magazines and released a total of 24 anti-radiation missiles, and then immediately turned around and left, without waiting even a second.

Hurried to come and go. (To be continued......)
