Soon, the Skyhawk group of the first attack wave of the US army appeared in the field of vision of the Ming army.

"Tell them that they have entered the airspace of the Hejaz Kingdom, turn around and leave immediately, otherwise it will be regarded as an invasion, and order the fire control radars of each ship to turn on and irradiate, and the missiles to be powered on and ready to attack!"

Xu Cheng, who was looking at the sky in the distance with a telescope, immediately ordered.

Immediately after that, the fire control radars of the three Qi Jiguang-class destroyers on the nearby sea turned on and locked on 12 targets at the same time, and the six sky-shaking missiles on the six spiral arm missile launchers pointed diagonally at the sky, and at the same time, on the amphibious assault ship Loyalty, four eight-mounted Ziyan missile launchers also pointed at one target each. On the remaining six Albatross-class missile boats, six 76 mm fully automatic naval guns are also pointed at the sky, don't underestimate this kind of 76 guns, the AK47 in the cannon is not called in vain, the rate of fire can reach 85 rounds per minute, under the guidance of the fire control radar with a proximity fuse, the air defense effect is not inferior to the short-range air defense missile.

"There was no response."

Soon the officer in charge of the call said.

"Countdown, fire in ten seconds!"

Xu Cheng said.

"It says we can't do it first."

The chief of staff reminded him.

"Who cares about those in a war! Countdown, ten seconds later, the U.S. military will fire without turning around! ”

Xu Cheng said without the slightest hesitation.

The officer in charge of liaison immediately began the countdown over the radio.

At the same time, twelve Skyhawk attack planes in the sky also began to assign attack tasks, and each of the twelve Skyhawks had two small fighting dog air-ground-air-ship dual-purpose missiles hanging underneath, this time it was a heavy version, weighing more than 800 kilograms, using radio command guidance, simply put, it was radio-remotely controlled, with a small rocket engine. The maximum speed is more than twice the speed of sound, so it can be said that as long as it enters the range and launches, then it is impossible to intercept it, and the only way to deal effectively is interference.

Xu Cheng's decisiveness avoided his own losses.

Ten seconds passed quickly, and just as the last of the countdown fell, he immediately said, "Fire!" ”

Suddenly, six missiles from six missile launchers flew out at the same time with flames. In a very short time, the second round of missiles also completed the loading and launch of their respective targets, followed by the third and fourth rounds.

The twelve Skyhawks in the sky that were about to enter the launch distance of the Little Fighting Dog missiles, as soon as they saw the missiles flying out of the trail, they immediately dived down at the fastest speed, and the US pilots who were familiar with the performance of the Brass Knight and Beagle missiles knew that this kind of thing was a blind spot at low altitude, and as long as it descended to a sufficient altitude, it could completely ignore their threat, and the Skyhawk, which had been flying at a very low altitude, was before the first round of missiles arrived. It has already descended to a height of less than 100 meters above the sea surface.

However, at this time, they realized that they had made a serious mistake, and the next moment all the US pilots were dumbfounded and stared at the sky, and one after another sky-shaking missiles swooped down in the air like screaming falcons, crashing into their heads with precision.

"What kind of missile is this, shit?"

"Oh my God, Jack got shot!"

……

Three hundred kilometers away, Major General Howard stood in front of the radio station in amazement, and the screams of the Crusader pilots who were in charge of escorting the Skyhawk at high altitude could be heard. He could already see the scene on the battlefield at this time, his first attack wave, twelve Skyhawks, were under the attack of the Sky-Shaking Missile. It quickly turned into a burning fire and fell into the sea.

"What is the minimum altitude they can fly at?"

Major General Howard subconsciously shouted, this is the only harvest that this batch of Skyhawks can bring him.

"Thomas will not fly at an altitude of more than fifty meters when he is shot down!"

A deep voice came over the radio.

Major General Howard was stupid.

"Still flying low? How low can you fly lower than sea-skimming anti-ship missiles? ”

Three hundred kilometers away, Xu Cheng sneered and said that on the sea in front of him, the twelve Skyhawks that had just launched an attack on the Loyalty had all turned into sinking wreckage, and the twelve US pilots had been deceived by their ship-to-air missiles. At the same time, they made the wrong choice to dodge the Earthquake missile attack by descending altitude, but unfortunately the minimum launch height of such missiles was thirty meters instead of the exaggerated three thousand meters of their brass knight.

As Xu Cheng said, no matter how low it is, it can be lower than an anti-ship missile?

However, the ultra-low altitude flight close to the surface of the sea greatly limits the excellent maneuverability of the Skyhawk, and they may be able to avoid it if they have enough altitude to fly. But at this time, there was no way to avoid it completely, and the final result was that none of the twelve Skyhawks were spared, and they were all wiped out under the attack of twenty-four sky-shaking missiles.

The crusaders in the sky hovered helplessly, as if mourning for their fallen comrades, unaware that they had been locked onto the fire control radar of the ships below.

Until now, the U.S. military still did not equip their fighters with radar alarms, which only began to appear in the Vietnam War, and currently only tail guards, which will provide warnings when encountering radar locks on enemy aircraft in the rear, but are ineffective against locks in other directions.

"To fight or not?"

The chief of staff looked at Xu Cheng with an inquiring gaze.

"Knock it all down!"

The latter said lightly.

On the three Qi Jiguang-class destroyers on the sea, one missile after another was aimed at the target, and then the flames flew out.

"Ming Army Missiles!"

……

Major General Howard, who was three hundred kilometers away, immediately sounded a frightened scream in his ears again, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly, obviously he knew that he was too careless, the technical level of the Ming army was far beyond his imagination, especially in terms of missile technology, they were obviously far superior to the United States, and then it depended on the luck of the crusader fighters in that squadron.

At this time, in the sky of Jeddah Harbor, the twelve Crusaders had become frightened ducks, desperately maneuvering under the pursuit of twenty-four missiles, and at the same time turning on the afterburner to speed up the fastest, racing against the maggot-like death behind them in order to escape this fate, but it was obviously not easy, the latter maneuvered much more than the plane.

And in the port not far away, those Saracens were watching this scene in amazement, looking at the missiles that were dragging the crooked white trails, chasing the American fighters, it was obvious that this kind of thing was beyond their knowledge, and some simple-minded people had even begun to kneel down in fear, this battle with the highest technology content in the history of war was tantamount to a miracle in their eyes.

However, the excellent mobility of the Crusaders still saved the American fighter squadron to the greatest extent, and in the end, they lost ten fighters to the Sky Shock Missile, and only two Crusaders were left in the entire sky, but by this time they had flown out of the airspace of the Hejaz, and joined up with the carrier-based aircraft of the second attack wave, and then flew fifty kilometers away from the Loyalty, where they circled and waited for the next order.

Such heavy losses made all the American officers and men on the USS Saratoga at a loss, it is obvious that since World War II, their invincible aircraft carrier attack has encountered the most serious crisis, this is the first time that the naval air defense force overwhelmingly outperforms the carrier-based aircraft, and in an exaggerated way, even when they used VT fuses to hit the kamikaze, the latter also crashed into many of their warships, but this time they failed to even drop a bomb on the opponent.

But Major General Howard was not ready to admit defeat, he paid such huge losses, of course, he couldn't just count it like this, not to mention that he still had combat aircraft!

It's just that the next offensive tactics will definitely need to be adjusted.

He very decisively recalled all the fighters of the second attack wave, at this time he still did not pay attention to the small fleet that was heading north, and he did not want to let his precious carrier-based aircraft take any more risks at this time, after all, this fleet also has a regional air defense ship, judging from the results of the battle just now, even if his carrier-based aircraft can break through the latter's defense line and sink the six-thousand-ton destroyer, I am afraid that he will have to lose at least half of the combat aircraft, you must know that the Qi Jiguang-class destroyer has sixty sky-shaking missiles on it.

In this way, the retreating US carrier-based aircraft bypassed the destroyer Zhang Jing.

And on this battleship, the captain who was staring at the radar finally wiped a cold sweat.

In fact, Xu Cheng didn't expect the Sky Shaking missile to have such a good effect, so that the US military was beaten back all at once, so that the forward exit of this fleet was very risky, before because they were still within the range of the missiles of the rear ships, but at this time they had been driving for nearly an hour, and their original location was north of the fleet, so at this time, they were nearly 120 kilometers away from the rear ships, and they had already left the coverage of the Sky Shaking missile, if the US army bombed the Zhang Jing, Then you can only rely on the battleship itself and the seven or six naval guns on those missile boats.

However, if the US military still penetrates the defense at an ultra-low altitude, because of the influence of the curvature of the earth, the fire control radar of the Tianzhen missile cannot illuminate the target close to the sea surface 40 kilometers away, and within a penetration distance of 40 kilometers, it can carry out three attacks in the sky, and only 12 enemy planes can be shot down if the four fire channels are fired, and then the US Skyhawk will still use a small fighting dog to sink it.

But now, that hurdle is over.

"Where are the enemy destroyers?"

The captain asked, wiping a cold sweat.

"They are not moving at full speed, perhaps trying to distance us as much as possible from the main forces in the rear, which is now less than sixty kilometers from the Saratoga fleet, and one hundred and twenty kilometers from us."

An officer next to him said.

"Looks like we're running out of time, order the speedboat team to go full throttle!"

The captain said somewhat regretfully after calculating the distance and time between the two sides.

The eight missile boats on the sea immediately increased their speed to 40 knots, and like eight albatross gliding on the sea, they swooped down on the Saratoga 180 kilometers away. (To be continued.) )
