Commodore Phillips, captain of the British Royal Navy's light cruiser USS Newcastle, originally waited for the fleet to be about 120 kilometers away from Diego Garcia Island, and the ships were scattered and separated, each looking for fighters for the war.

However, poor Commodore Phillips did not know that their five warships had already entered the attack range of the "Harpoon" anti-ship missiles of various ships of the Donghua Royal Navy.

At this time, in the southern sea, 150 kilometers away, in the bridge command room of the "Longdun 155" shield-class cruiser with the port number CG521, the captain of the ship, Lin Zhunzheng, was angry at the deputy captain Deng Haipeng.

Because, just now, when the chief of the water guide commanded the missile troops to input the attack parameters, he actually made a mistake in his busyness, and the decimal point of one of the data was wrong, which was ten times more than the correct data.

If it weren't for the fact that Captain Lin Zhun personally came over to make the final approval and discovered this huge mistake in time, the first anti-ship missile launched by the "Longdun 155" against the enemy would have failed, and it would have been several dozen kilometers away from the target.

"How many times have I told you, don't be nervous, don't panic, be calm, be calm! How to train in peacetime, how to operate in battle, why is it really time to actually fight, all of you are so special to Lao Tzu to drop the chain! ”

Lin Zhun didn't care about whether it would hurt the self-esteem of his officers and soldiers at this time, and roared loudly: "Do you know how much mistake our 'Dragon Shield 155' will make if it is launched according to the parameters just now?" When the time comes, all of us will become the biggest laughing stock of the entire Donghua Royal Navy! ”

"Captain, we know that we are wrong, now is not the time to be held responsible, let's hurry up and launch the missile!" Deputy Captain Deng Haipeng smiled and said with a smile, pointing out the porthole: "The other ships are still waiting for our 'Longdun 155' to fire the first shot!" ”

"Check again!" Lin Zhun shouted loudly with a straight face: "If you can't hit with one missile, everyone, including me Lin Zhun, will be punished to scrub the deck for a month!" ”

"Yes! Captain. All the officers and soldiers in the command room shouted in unison.

The sailors on the cruiser "Longdun 155" all knew in their hearts that the captain Lin Zhun was a typical good commander with a knife mouth and a tofu heart. In order to find out and master the various technical equipment on the ship as soon as possible, almost all the officers and men of the ship ate, lived and slept on the ship, and stayed on the ship for several months, during which even the captain Lin Zhun never left the ship.

It's just that those electronic computer equipment on the Shield-class missile cruiser are too difficult to understand. Everyone knows what it is, but not why.

To put it bluntly, everyone doesn't understand what the computer program operation is all about, and only knows to follow the procedures of the operation manual step by step, and slowly become proficient from the initial jerky.

When operating the input keyboard, everyone has gradually changed from the beginning of "one-finger Zen Gong" to two-finger and three-finger. However, it is still far from the fire of the two five-fingered fingers that His Majesty Emperor Jincheng said. The mouse operation has gradually been mastered, and the double-click, single-click, left-key, and right-click have become more and more numb.

What Lin Zhun didn't know was that a phenomenon like the one that happened here just now had similar mistakes on other ships.

The more nervous people are, the more likely they are to make mistakes.

For these officers and men of the Royal Navy, who have just come into contact with modern scientific and technological equipment such as computers, program software, keyboards, mice, and data links for less than a year, the input of combat orders has always been the most error-prone link.

Because this instruction input must input the specified byte data within a specified time, once this time is exceeded, the data chain will change accordingly, and the input parameters must be readjusted.

In Cheng Gong's timetable, the Donghua Royal Navy and Air Force were able to bring into full play one-third of the comprehensive combat effectiveness of their respective equipment within three years, and His Majesty, Emperor Jincheng, was quite satisfied.

It's just that after Chen Houfu knew about Jin Chengye's wish, Chen Houfu gave a death order to the officers and men of the Royal Navy's Seventh Fleet for one year! Within a year, you must be familiar with all the equipment, and at least you must be able to give full play to the actual combat effectiveness of each ship! Otherwise, he, the commander of the fleet, will resign, and you captains will also be ready to get out!

The emperor took out such a warship and handed it over to the Royal Navy for use, but the Royal Navy could not give full play to the excellent performance of these advanced warships, which made them embarrassed by the senior generals of the Royal Navy!

About three minutes later, the "Dragon Shield 155" Shield-class missile cruiser launched two RGM-84 "Harpoon" anti-ship missiles.

In the next two minutes, the "Kaijiang 285", "Kaijiang 286", "Tuotu 360" and "Tuotu 361" all fired two RGM-84 "Harpoon" anti-ship missiles at their respective targets.

……

Captain Phillips of the light cruiser USS Newcastle had no idea that it had brushed the Grim Reaper twice. At this time, he was directing the British Royal Navy's Southampton-class cruiser to maintain radio silence, keep the lights on, and move quickly towards the direction of Diego Garcia Island at a speed of 25 knots.

On the watchtower at the top of the bridge, lookout post O'Barry is engrossed in searching the dark sea with a telescope, occasionally looking up at the starry night sky.

Suddenly, two bright spots entered O'Barry's telescope lens, and they quickly grew larger.

"Look, there's a shooting star!" The shouts of a sailor were heard on deck.

"Not a shooting star! It's an enemy attack! O'Barry exclaimed. At this time, it was clear through the telescope that it was a rocket-like attack, and it was rapidly flying towards the location of the "Newcastle".

"Enemy attack! Shelling of enemy ships! O'Barry shouted as he pulled the noise and sounded the battle alarm.

"Fack! Where did the enemy attack come from! Phillips was visibly furious by the sudden battle alarm.

"Rocket attack!" From the watchtower, O'Barry exclaimed, "There are still three kilometers to go...... Two kilometers ...... One kilometer...... ...... who sells cakes"

At this time, all the British sailors on the cruiser "Newcastle" could clearly see that two long, thick monsters, with flames spewing from their tails, were roaring towards their position.

"Left full rudder, full speed evasion!" Phillips calmly gave the order for the battleship to maneuver to evade.

"It's too late, dive ......"

"Poof!" A Harpoon anti-ship missile misses and goes into the sea.

"Boom!" Another Harpoon anti-ship missile, which rushed at a high speed of Mach 0.9, hit the stern of the "Newcastle", and in the loud explosion, flames rose into the sky, and thick smoke billowed and steamed.

A similar situation exploded at different hull positions on the cruiser "Sheffield", "Vlalite", "Cossacks" and "Somali" at different hull positions at almost the same moment.

Among them, the most unlucky was the "Cossacks", which was hit by two Harpoon anti-ship missiles.
