Xi was so fierce that the third round of missile attacks was too violent, and the three US aircraft carriers were all attacked by anti-ship missiles from the lead, among which the "Monroe" facing the direction of the missile attack was at least hit by the missile, and the part exposed above the sea surface was blown to pieces by the missile, so after the missile attack ended, the captains of the three aircraft carriers issued an order to abandon the ship. Shortly thereafter, the captain of the Shan escort battleship located north of the fleet gave the same order.

It was at this time that the fourth round of attacks began.

Compared with the previous three rounds of attacks, the biggest feature of the fourth round of attacks is that it is not missiles that undertake the strike mission, but combat aircraft. To be precise, aerial bombs dropped by fighter jets over the fleet!

Because more than four fighters entered from the height of the sea, several other escort warships in the US fleet failed to raise the alarm in time. More importantly, the first round of missile strikes came from the east, so the fleet's air defense fighters all turned to the east, and the second missile strike followed by the south, and the fleet air defense fighters immediately turned to the south. By the end of the third round of missile strikes, the aircraft carriers were heavily damaged. Destined to sink to the bottom of the sea, the air defense fighters operating south of the fleet did not turn north, but continued to fly south, going to the US Navy air station in Djibouti. That is, at the time of the arrival of the Xiaojiu and Xiaokou fighters, there were no air defense fighters over the American fleet.

Without the interference of air defense fighters, a bombing operation that would have been a little difficult would have become without any difficulty.

When they were about Wuganmi away from the U.S. fleet, they said that Xiao Xu's fighter jets successively dropped the gliding guided bombs they carried, and then climbed and turned, and did not approach again.

This is one of the new naval tactics of the Recommender Navy.

The emergence of forced electromagnetic interference systems and energy weapon systems will inevitably revolutionize the tactics of naval warfare. To put it mildly, from the era of the force century blade to the era of the century blade, the anti-ship missiles that have been in the limelight for more than half a century will inevitably disappear from history and become weapons in museums, just like the ramming angles of the sail era and the giant cannons of the dreadnought era. In an era of great change, whoever can be at the forefront of technology and tactics will be able to control the direction of the times. As a rising star, if the Republic Navy wants to surpass the US Navy and become the world's number one navy, it must make great efforts in technology and tactics, just as the US Navy surpassed Britain in one fell swoop by vigorously deploying aircraft carriers.

It can be said that since the force of the old years. The Navy of the Republic attaches great importance to pioneering and innovation.

Electromagnetic guns, forced electromagnetic interference systems, electromagnetic bombs, all-electric propulsion systems, electric attack submarines, and other advanced weapons and technologies are almost all related to the Navy of the Republic. As a Western naval historian put it, the great efforts of the Navy of the Republic in the first century laid a solid foundation for the eventual Vietnamese Navy. Judging from the history of the navies of various countries around the world, without huge investment in basic technology and tactics, even if they can compete with the old maritime powers in terms of fleet size, it will not be possible to defeat their opponents in naval battles. The French, German, Japanese, and former Soviet thugs were all defeated in the end because they only focused on quantity and not quality. Britain's ability to replace Spain and the United States' ability to replace Britain are closely related to the fact that Britain attaches great importance to naval technology and tactics. It can be seen from this that since the beginning of the fourth year, the Navy of the Republic has not been on par with the US Navy in terms of scale, but has made great efforts in the direction of the Navy's development, especially in basic technology and tactics, that is, it has found the right direction of progress. In fact, even Lin Xiaobeast attaches great importance to basic techniques and tactics. Although in the eyes of many people, Lin Xiaolei, who is committed to building a "big fleet," is not only a "supremacist of sea power" but also a naval commander who only emphasizes quantity and not quality, a careful study of all the naval regulations proposed by Lin Xiaolei shows that all naval programs are closely related to new technologies.

This kind of exhibition model that focuses on basic technology has both advantages and disadvantages.

The upside is that a smaller force can be used against a powerful US Navy. Because the Republican Navy is in the "growth period" and the degree of ship replacement is much faster than that of the US Navy in the "stability period", it is not advisable to blindly increase the degree of expansion. To put it bluntly, if the expansion of the navy is too fast, that is, a large number of warships are built in a short period of time, then after the strength is reached, there will be great pressure to replace a large number of warships at the same time. Because the construction period of warships is far longer than any other kind of weapons and equipment, the size of the navy will increase several times after the development of the continuous force to the blade year, and the replacement of a large number of warships at the same time will inevitably affect the normal activities of the navy. In idioms. Improving the degree at the beginning of the exhibition is equivalent to "growing up with the seedlings". Only by maintaining a reasonable degree of development and continuing to build a steady growth rate over two generations, that is, to grow steadily and steadily over the course of two generations, the Republican Navy will be able to surpass the U.S. Navy and become the most powerful maritime power in the world.

The downside is that few countries are able to maintain a period of vigor above the field years. Because of the particularity of the navy, that is, the long construction period, huge financial investment, long-term ideological construction, etc., so in any pound. Countries that have the strength to become the world's number one power all regard their navies as strategic forces. For example, after World War II, both the United States and Japan developed a decades-long naval strategy. After World War II, the U.S. and the former Soviet Union held naval shows for many years. Such a long exhibition cycle. The curse is to expose those countries that do not have the strength to compete for the throne of world supremacy

In fact, Germany and Japan fell into a fierce naval arms race, and the collapse of the former Soviet Union also had a lot to do with the naval arms race. It is far more difficult for the republic to remain stable in the decades-long arms race and to complete domestic institutional reforms that its competitors simply do not need than to build a strong navy. It is this drawback that makes the Republic cautious when it comes to showing its navy.

For rising stars, it is definitely the only way to enhance their own strength through technological and tactical innovation.

From an after-term perspective, the purpose of pushing new weapons and equipment, such as electromagnetic guns and forced electromagnetic jamming systems, into the battlefield of naval warfare is to offset the US Navy's strong superiority. In fact, it is impossible for the Navy of the Republic to build an old aircraft carrier battle group in a short period of time. With the strength of the Republic, it is already commendable to maintain the Kouzhi aircraft carrier battle group in the secret year.

Of course, the innovation of naval warfare tactics is by no means an easy task.

The fundamental reason why aircraft carriers and aviation can enrich the maritime battlefield and send battleships to museums is that the air force has a strike range and strike efficiency far beyond that of naval guns. Take, for example, the Pacific War in World War II. The strike distance of carrier-based aviation was more than 1,000 kilometers, and some even exceeded 1,000 kilometers, while the maximum firing range of naval artillery at that time was only about 1,000 kilometers, which was basically one-tenth of that of carrier-based aviation. Its strike efficiency is also almost one-tenth that of carrier-based aviation. In the absence of any advantages. Battleships, naturally, were no match for aircraft carriers.

If we want to change the tactics of naval warfare and make the aviation force history, or at least make the air force a thing of the past in naval supremacy operations, we must surpass the air force in terms of strike distance and strike efficiency.

It can be seen from this that the electromagnetic gun reinforced electromagnetic interference system is precisely a sharp weapon for carrier-based aviation.

Even an orbital electric contact gun, the maximum firing range is not much shorter than the strike range of carrier-based aviation, at least not by an order of magnitude. In the face of the forced electromagnetic interference system, guided weapons are useless, and the strike efficiency of carrier-based aviation is naturally not much higher.

The problem is that the replacement of carrier-based aviation will definitely not happen overnight.

You know, the last battleship was really not retired until the age of the power century. That is, after the domination of the oceans by aircraft carriers, the battleship served for almost half a century before it became an exhibit in a museum.

Because the air force still has a very important position in some aspects, especially in battlefield support, it will not quickly withdraw from the stage of war. In this way, it is necessary to continue to tap the potential of the air force and enhance the air force's ability to control the sea by changing the tactics of sea operations.

It is precisely in this way that, after the war in India, the naval aviation of the Republic began to explore new tactics of sea domination.

Obviously, the use of anti-ship missiles is no longer the main means of naval aviation. It can also be seen from this battle that if it is necessary to use anti-ship missiles against the enemy's fleet, strategic bombers and long-range patrol planes are superior to naval fighters. In particular, carrier-based fighters are more effective. Affected by forced electromagnetic interference systems. Naval aviation will go the old way, that is, undisturbed pilots will use undisturbed methods to guide ammunition to attack ships on the surface of the sea.

One way or another, the pilot is not subject to the forced electromagnetic interference system.

The key is how to keep the ammunition unaffected.

Conventional guidance systems certainly don't. However, the accuracy of the inertial guidance system is not up to the requirements. In the end, the engineers in charge of the ammunition development could only focus on the directional communication system, that is, the laser-based communication equipment. The key to making the system work is to create an optical lens that shields electromagnetic waves from the radio band. Just for such a piece of glass, the Navy has invested hundreds of millions of scientific research funds. It took nearly 3 years. It can be said that if it had not been for the development of optical lenses that met the requirements at the beginning of the year, it would not have been possible to use the new tactics of the navy in this long war, so that those tactical fighters that were originally difficult to wield in naval battles would have come in handy.

Of course, breakthroughs have been made in key technologies, and progress has been made in other areas.

This time, "the bombs used by more than four fighters were specially developed by the Navy for new tactics. Because the new tactics have not yet been tested, the production of new ammunition is not in full swing. All the bombs were provided to HNA for testing, which means that the reliability of these bombs is not very high.

As a new type of bomb, it naturally has its novelty.

In terms of the way of throwing, this kind of numbered Lingbi Tuankou is the experimental code, the blade is the year of opening, and the fourth is the code name of the bomb. The new bomb with the serial number belongs to the category of "rocket-boosted gliding bomb." "That is, it is equipped with a rocket engine and gliding wings. From this, it can be inferred that the range of the bomb must be more than 1,000 kilometers, and the flight degree of the terminal section is more than Mach 4. For the final defense system of the fleet, the bomb not only uses a new "layered thermal insulation coating". "A ballistic correction system was also adopted. The so-called "layered thermal insulation coating." "In fact, the outer surface of the bomb is coated with several different paints according to the thermal expansion performance, and when it is intercepted by energy weapons such as pulsed laser weapons, the heat-insulating paint will automatically record and separate, so as to resist energy weapons and reduce the impact of bombs. Because the mass and aerodynamic shape of the bomb will be affected after the coating is recorded, it needs to be adjusted with a ballistic correction system

To ensure that the bomb flies to the target along a relatively fixed trajectory, the difficulty of the "guidance link" is reduced.

Of course, as a bomb that is still in the experiment, the second four lead 7 still has a lot to be desired.

If nothing else, there is only one way to explode, that is, touch excitation. That is, the bomb will detonate only after hitting the battleship, and if it falls into the seawater, it will not explode. It is precisely because of this that after this war, the research and development of the power of righteousness was completely canceled, and all the research and development results were turned into technical reserves. It was not until the coincidence that the Navy of the Republic launched another catty, similar research and development project, and made use of the success of the development of the four and three mouths. The Navy of the Republic did this because about a powerful bomb did not explode, and at least two of them fell into the hands of the American military. Although the bombs were all painted with a set of Arabic letters before they were installed on the fighters. It is thought that it is ammunition equipped with the Syrian Air Force, but the parts inside the bomb are still inscribed with the marks of the republican **, and it is easy to believe that this is a masterpiece of the Navy of the Republic. Of course. In the absence of the republic, nor the United States, the American authorities would like to believe that this is the ammunition that the Republic has aided to Syria. In any case, the vast majority of the weapons and equipment of the Syrian army, even rifle bullets, come from the republic, and what is a few hundred bombs?

Of course, the key to these bomb calculations is their directional communication system.

Because the fighter that dropped the bomb stayed outside the range of the U.S. military's forced electromagnetic interference system, the pilot on the fighter could use the detection system to track the U.S. warship. For safety reasons, none of the fighters had radar activated, and infrared and low-light cameras were used. Through the directional communication system, the bull fighter continuously transmits the intercepted target information to the dropped bomb, and the closed-circuit guidance system on the bomb adjusts the trajectory of the bomb according to this information.

The entire attack went very smoothly and the fleet had little to no trouble.

Strictly speaking, it was not the new tactics that produced results, but the fact that the US military had completely lost its fighting spirit, and did not expect that the opponent would send fighter jets to carry out volley bombing, and its air defense fighters would withdraw from the battlefield prematurely. Therefore, when the bombing came, the US military was completely unprepared and could not organize effective resistance.

In fact, in this bombing, the new tactics also exposed a lot of problems.

Because all 3 aircraft carriers were heavily damaged, it was only a matter of time before they sank. Moreover, at that time, the US officers and men on the aircraft carrier were boarding the lifeboats one after another, and the pilots were clearly told before they went out that the bombing campaign was only aimed at US warships, not US Navy soldiers, so the focus of the fourth round of strikes was not on the aircraft carrier, but on the flagship of the fleet, because the displacement of the "Oregon" was only a thug, so it was not seriously damaged in the third round of strikes and the six escort warships that had not been hit before that.

In the face of 7 warships with complete terminal interception capabilities, the problem of slow bombing is very prominent.

What's more. The Quadruple Fighter 7 only has a Can-7 design for energy weapons, and does not take into account other end-of-the-line defense systems. In particular, a defense system for firing electromagnetic guns was adopted, which turned out to be in front of several American warships. The attack efficiency of the melee bomb is not mushy. Although the explosion power of the bombs far exceeded that of the warheads of the anti-ship missiles, and the destructive effect of the bombs also exceeded that of the anti-ship missiles, there was still about enough for the bombs, that is, about the strength of the bombs that were shot down by the terminal interception systems on the seven warships. That is, the multiple bombs failed to hit the target because of the failure of the system, which is still much lower than the Navy expected. It can be said that it was such a low strike efficiency that made the Navy terminate the four-port project without knife strength, and only started it again after preparing for the mouth year.

Of course, no one can deny the great significance of this bombing.

You know, it's since! After the Falklands War and the Iran-Iraq War of the same period, for the first time in more than half a century, a large warship was sunk by a volley bombing by fighter jets. What's more, the battle heralded the dawn of a new era. With the fading of fragile guided weapons, the value of military personnel, especially pilots, has once again been valued in the arena of naval warfare.

Although the fourth strike was the end of this naval and air battle, it was only the beginning of the major changes in naval tactics that it would ensu. This is only the beginning of a new era to come, one of direct confrontation between the Republic and the United States.

As the fighters that had completed their bombing missions turned away from the battlefield, only a few battleships were left in the dark sea, slowly sinking in the flames, and hundreds of lifeboats carrying thousands of U.S. Navy officers and men. Although everyone knows that only the Republican ** team has the ability to annihilate the aircraft carrier battle group with many old large warships in one fell swoop, at the end of the battle, the commander of the US fleet and the commander of the coalition forces, Du Qiwei, who is thousands of miles away, knew that no one would link the destruction of the US fleet with the Republic, because during the entire engagement, the US military failed to shoot down a single enemy plane, and there was no direct evidence to prove that it was the attack of the Republican ** team.

When the U.S. fleet is completely destroyed, the war in the Middle East can be declared over.
