If Canguo said that the destruction of the US military sea base by means of artillery bombardment opened a new era of Bixianggong, then the extent to which the Republic Navy applied this kind of naval warfare tactics with a bit of "anti-antique" flavor. [Reading Network] is far from the point of perfection, and it is not even proficient.

According to the combat records of the South China Sea Fleet, the reconnaissance plane used an infrared detector to appear at the US naval base many kilometers away at 3 o'clock in the battlefield time. Because in the combat records of the US military, it is also mentioned that at about 3 o'clock, a plane of unknown origin was detected due to the performance limitations of the passive detection system, and it was not determined whether this plane was a reconnaissance plane of the Republic Navy, and only a reconnaissance plane close to the US military sea base at that time, it can be roughly concluded that the combat records of both sides were not costly. Most importantly. The farthest distance between the US sea base and the South China Sea Fleet is less than 1,000 kilometers, and the closest distance is only a concave kilometer. In other words, the U.S. military has chosen a more conservative approach, that is, the ugly modular ship has formed four tactical sea bases with one young runway and two functional modules, and a backup base with a persuading runway. This is supported by the combat record of the Navy of the Republic of China, in which the reconnaissance planes showed a total of sea targets before being intercepted and turned by US fighters, and the radiation signatures of four of the targets were relatively similar, while the radiation signatures of the other targets were significantly weaker.

After presenting the goal, the difficult problem was also placed in front of the commander of the South China Sea Fleet of the Navy of the Republic.

Although in the previous tactical plan, a similar situation was taken into account, but when it comes to actual operation. The fleet commander still has to take full account of the realities. Thankfully, technological advances have brought many unexpected benefits to decision-makers, such as the success rate and reliability of various tactics. The commander no longer needs to think about it, but it is analyzed by computer simulation, and the grading results are given in a very short time. It is a pity that computers with primary artificial intelligence do not yet have the ability to apply experience, so it is impossible to draw lessons from past battles, exercises, and exercises, and it is naturally impossible to make the most ideal choice based on experience. What's more, it is the people, not the machines, who decide to fight, so after the computer gives the results of the simulation analysis, it is still up to the commander to draw on personal experience. Choose the most appropriate tactic. In the whole decision-making chain, the computer actually only plays the role of improving the efficiency of decision-making and shortening the decision-making time, rather than replacing the commander to make tactical decisions.

After receiving the report from the reconnaissance plane, the central computer on the flagship gave the tactics and the success rate of each tactic, that is, the strike efficiency, using only a small clock. These four tactics are also very simple: first, concentrate artillery fire to hit targets one by one from far and near, and determine the strike situation with artillery shells equipped with passive detection sensors after each target adjustment, so as to decide whether to carry out supplementary strikes; The second is to divide the fleet's artillery fire into two parts, with the main firepower accounting for 70 percent and the secondary firepower accounting for 30 percent, with the main firepower striking targets one by one, and the secondary firepower being responsible for supplementary artillery bombardment; Third, based on the aircraft carrier battle group, three groups of artillery fire will carry out cross-strike strikes against the counterpart mark, and after each strike, sensor shells will be used to determine the strike situation to determine the firepower intensity of the supplementary strike; The fourth is to divide the fleet artillery fire into groups. And according to the probability of hitting the target, it is allocated, and then the target is hit separately.

It can be said that each of the four sets of tactics has its own advantages and disadvantages. In addition to the decision of which tactics should be adopted, the purpose of the campaign must also be considered.

The first set of tactics can be destroyed with a relatively fast degree! To the two sea bases, there is even hope to paralyze the third sea base, but it is very likely that the fourth and fifth targets will escape the attack, the reason is very simple, even if the supplementary strikes are not considered, the shelling time for each target is more than the old minutes, so it is at least a few minutes before the fourth target can be hit, and at this time, the US sea base must have completed the emergency evacuation. The distribution range has increased tens, even hundreds, times. The shelling will become pointless.

ten thousand

The second set of tactics is a refinement of the first. In the case of reliable information on the azimuth of the target, the strike cycle can be shortened to the old minutes. Even if it can't completely destroy the target, it can disable the target, and then completely destroy the target with a supplementary strike. Because the U.S. military sea base can be evacuated within a few minutes. Even taking into account the realities. That is, the fighter jets arriving from the Australian mainland are taking off and landing, and the evacuation time is longer, and it is impossible to ensure a full-scale strike on each target, and the result is very likely to be not much different from the first set of tactics.

The advantage of the third set of tactics is the ability to hit 3 targets at once, and all of them are sure to paralyze them. It also strikes the fourth and fifth targets and paralyzes them within minutes. In other words, it is possible to incapacitate the US military before the evacuation of the sea base. While the engagement will certainly be prolonged and consume the most ammunition, it is the only tactical option that can complete the strike before the US troops evacuate. Of course, this is also the most difficult tactical scheme to organize and the most coordinated.

The fourth set of tactics can basically be regarded as a refinement of the third set of tactics, that is, the main purpose is to paralyze the target, and then carry out a devastating blow to the target after the target has been paralyzed.

Although this plan is more efficient and can ensure that all targets are attacked at the same time, considering that the US military sea bases have a good interception system, and each module has independent navigation capabilities, even if it is incomplete, from the perspective of overall combat efficiency, the feasibility of this plan will not exceed the third set of tactics.

For a fleet commander with outstanding abilities. This series of assessments is completed in a split second.

Combined with the actual situation, as well as the purpose of the campaign. It is easy to choose the most suitable tactic.

At 3 o'clock in the battle time, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet issued an operational order.

Of course, this is not a verbal command, but a set of radio signals with activation commands sent by the flagship, which brings all the warships in the fleet into combat condition, and sends tactical information through the fleet tactical data link. Although in this way, there is no secret about the whereabouts of the South China Sea Fleet. The U.S. military's radio detection system can determine the general direction of the South China Sea Fleet almost at the same time, but the distance information measured by the radio detection system will never be accurate, and in order to determine whether it is a false signal from the Republic's Burning Dingzhen inspection ship, spy ship, or attack submarine, the U.S. military must print a set of comparative signals from the shore base. All in all, even if the South China Sea Fleet exposes its whereabouts, because the strike is imminent, the US sea bases will not have time to react.

It can be said that the entire combat process was controlled by computers.

In the eyes of many, this is not reliable. In any case, there is a probability that the computer will make mistakes. Even if this probability is so low that it cannot be ignored. It is precisely for this reason that, in addition to this fully automated command and control system, there is also a backup manual command system, that is, the fleet commander gives verbal orders and the captains of each ship carry out the orders. Of course, unless there is a problem with the automatic command and control system, there will be no such primitive method to command a modern naval battle that is measured in milliseconds, and no fleet commander will be addicted to the victory or defeat of the battle and the survival of the fleet.

After the order of the commander of the fleet. The central computer of the flagship assigned the task of shelling only with a small clock.

In the next two minutes, the warships participating in the shelling operation began to select the types of shells, settle the shelling parameters, check the status of the ship's guns, and prepare for the shelling. Relatively speaking, the most important and easiest of these is to choose the type of ammunition. Although according to the combat regulations of the Navy of the country only. The selection of the type of ammunition is done by the computer, i.e. the fire control calculation on the battleship will automatically decide what ammunition to use depending on the nature of the target, and the fuse will be set for the shell. For example, when dealing with armored protection capabilities or large sea targets, semi-armor-piercing shells with mechanical time delay functions are generally selected. In addition, the delayed detonation time of the fuse is determined based on data such as the thickness of the target's armor, the structure of the hull and the number of deck layers, as well as fire control data such as where the shell needs to explode. As a simple example, when dealing with an aircraft carrier equipped with an armored flight deck such as the "Chongqing" class, if you want the shells to explode in the hangar, the fuse delay will be set to the old milliseconds, and if you want the shells to explode in the lower cabin, the fuse delay will be set to the ferocious milliseconds.

It can be seen that because it involves extremely complicated calculations, especially the estimation of the protection capabilities of various targets, which has exceeded the computing power of the human brain, it has to be responsible for the computer, and the computer automatically sets various parameters. But in practice, in order to avoid misloading ammunition. As time permits, the gunners on each ship check the type of ammunition selected by the computer and the fuse data set. Only when it is confirmed that there is no mistake will the ship's guns be allowed to fire. Of course, if time does not allow, if the gunnery officer now loads the wrong ammunition. Or set the wrong parameters of the fuse, and the shelling will not be canceled. Adjustments will be made in the next round, or in the next few rounds of shelling. The reason for including human intervention in this decision-making process is also simple. That is, the value of electromagnetic artillery shells is expensive, especially some anti-sea shells, and their price will not be much lower than that of anti-ship missiles. What's more, the carrying capacity of battleships was very limited, even cruisers. A ship's gun will not have too much ammunition in reserve. Wasting shells is equivalent to weakening the ability of warships and fleets to continue fighting, and in many cases, the fleet's ammunition supply has to be carried out in the harbor.

Of course, even manual inspections don't take much time.

According to the operational records of the South China Sea Fleet, before 4 o'clock in the battlefield time, the cruisers, multi-purpose destroyers, and antisubmarine destroyers participating in the shelling operation all completed the preparations before the shelling, and according to the normal combat mode, after the signal of readiness was issued, the central computer on the flagship assigned the shelling task in a unified manner, and the fire control computer on each ship was only responsible for controlling the ship's guns.

It is clear that the typical "cyber cooperative operations" tactic.

can

It can be said that this is precisely the greatest gain of the Republic Navy when it is groping for new tactics. Some people may think that the potential of the electromagnetic cannon to dominate the sea. And the exhibition of electromagnetic guns into a new weapon of naval warfare is the greatest gain of the Republic Navy in the era of great changes. To be honest, electromagnetic guns are only means, not ideas, and not new tactics. That is, in order to turn a new means into combat effectiveness, it is necessary to rely on new tactics. As we all know, naval guns have many advantages, such as firing height, huge amount of ammunition thrown, not easy to be interfered with, controllable power, etc., but naval guns also have a disadvantage that is difficult to overcome, that is, in the case of ensuring that there is no interference, the accuracy is inversely proportional to the firing range. In this way, when attacking distant targets, you can only rely on dense bullet rain to compensate for the lack of accuracy. The problem is that it is impossible to have too many naval guns on any one battleship. In particular, before the actual combat effectiveness of naval guns is officially obtained, neither the Republic Navy nor the US Navy will be in a hurry to turn back and build "gunboats" with naval guns as their main or even only weapons. "That is, in real combat application, it is necessary to combine the naval guns of several warships to attack the same target, so how to reasonably distribute the artillery fire. Maximizes the coverage of fleet shelling. That is, the maximization of the attack efficiency of naval guns has become a problem that must be solved. To this end, the Navy of the Republic put forward the basic tactical idea of "network cooperative operations", that is, the powerful central computer on the flagship determines the shelling area of each ship's guns, and each battleship is only the carrier of the fire delivery unit.

From this tactical idea, it can be seen that in order to maximize the effectiveness of shelling, the flagship must accurately grasp the accurate ballistic data of each ship's gun. Although data can be transmitted over the network, to be on the safe side, the flagship will be equipped with at least one lidar specifically designed to measure ballistics. And the measurement channel certainly coincides with the number of all large-caliber naval guns of the fleet. In actual combat use. In order to ensure that fire control information is transmitted with tactical data links without interference, flagships generally do not use the shelling data provided by individual warships, but directly use the data provided by ballistic measurement radars.

So that before the shelling began. The flagship also had to determine the specific location of each shelling battleship.

This process takes about a few minutes.

At 4 o'clock, the warship of the South China Sea Fleet fired its first shot. Because the Fengmen large-caliber electromagnetic gun cruiser on the battleship was equipped with 3 guns, the multipurpose destroyer was equipped with 2 guns, and the anti-submarine destroyer was equipped with doors that opened fire almost at the same time, so the scene was very spectacular. What's more. The shells of the new spiral electromagnetic cannon are not in contact with the plus channel, and they will not be rubbed and heated due to high motion, so the shooting is improved a lot, and the fastest time can be fired within minutes, even if the "door electricity" is fired according to the normal degree. ,,Paste has been able to project all the shells in a few minutes, and it will go to the mouth of the milk kilometer away, such as just about the mouth of the stewed cannonball.

From this, it is possible to roughly calculate the extent of the coverage of artillery fire in the case of simultaneous shelling of three targets and the equal distribution of ammunition.

Theoretically, when dealing with a sea base with a flight runway that is long and wide, the ideal separation distance between the impact points of the kilogram-level electromagnetic cannon shells is falling meters, that is, no matter what the circumstances, it can ensure that some shells can hit the target, and the average number of shells falling within the projection range of a modular ship is Zhang. This is because only the old cannon fires at a target, and the firing time is only the old minutes. Even if commanded by the flagship. The time for transferring the shelling is almost negligible, and in one shelling cycle, only sudden shells can be fired at one target. If these shells fall at intervals of rice fields, they can cover about 10,000 square meters of sea area. In terms of time, it takes about 2 seconds to fly a Remach electromagnetic cannon shell to a target at a distance of 1,000 kilometers from the sphere, and during this period, the U.S. military sea base that is receiving or releasing fighter planes can only sail at a rate of about four meters. Because it is impossible to determine the direction of navigation of the US military sea base and whether it will turn during the voyage, after grasping the initial course of the target, it is possible to calculate the sea area that the target may reach within a certain second according to the target's steering rate. A map of the navigation range shows that this area resembles an elongated ginkgo biloba, and its extent is proportional to the square of the voyage. It can be calculated that the navigation area of the US sea base in a certain number of seconds will not exceed 40,000 square meters. That is, under normal circumstances, the probability of hitting the target within minutes of the 3 shelled units operating as a unit of the aircraft carrier battle group is about paste. It can be seen from this that the probability of concentrating three targets at the same time is above the paste, and the probability of missing the target at the same time is only relaxed, and the probability of hitting one target is too much. And the probability of hitting 2 targets is too high. Judging from the combat situation at that time, if two targets could be hit in the first round of shelling, they would be able to hit the other two targets that had not been shelled before in the second shelling, thus minimizing the probability of the US troops escaping.

It is still accurate tactical information that determines tactics.

This is because the reconnaissance plane has already left the airspace above the US naval base after being attacked by the US military. Therefore, in order to determine the effect of the shelling, you can only rely on the sensor shells fired by the ship's guns.

To put it bluntly, it is "reconnaissance shells." ”

As mentioned earlier, how to make full and effective use of naval artillery firepower when exploring new tactics. Be the key of the key. It is well known that even anti-ship missiles with a higher accuracy of several levels cannot ensure that the attack is 100% in the way, so it is impossible to ensure absolute accuracy in the shelling. In this case, it is necessary to judge the results of the shelling. And the most effective way is to naturally mobilize reconnaissance forces. Ignoring the threat of the target to the reconnaissance plane for the time being, the electromagnetic guns all use high-throw trajectory, that is, the shells are sent out of the atmosphere by means of vertical fire, and then the ballistic correction motive and attitude control motive on the cannonball make the shell turn, so that the shell can fly in outer space as much as possible, so that the range of the cannonball can be greatly increased. In this way, when the shell attacks the target, unless a special trajectory is set, it is thrown at the target at a near-vertical angle. In other words, when an artillery shell hits a target, the facilities located on the trajectory of the artillery shell are threatened, and this naturally includes reconnaissance aircraft. Exactly. The Navy of the Republic has made clear regulations on long-range artillery warfare, that is, when shelling targets, it is strictly forbidden for manned aircraft to enter the airspace above the target, and even if it is an unmanned aircraft, it must avoid entering the airspace above the target as much as possible.

More importantly, the flight of a reconnaissance aircraft is in no way comparable to the shells of an electromagnetic gun.

Thus. Able to take on reconnaissance missions. And only those capable of providing timely target information after shelling are those that are also fired by electromagnetic guns. Sensing shells carrying detectors, that is, reconnaissance shells. Affected by this, the Navy of the Republic made a clear provision in the code of artillery tactics, that is, in any case, when arranging artillery tactics, a certain number of sensor shells must be added to the last round of artillery fire, and the specific number of sensor shells used is determined by the battlefield situation. Under normal circumstances, it is up to the fire control computer on the battleship to make its own decisions, and if necessary, it can be manually set by the gunners or the combat commander during the period.

This time, it was precisely the operational commander on the flagship who set it by hand.

Judging by the previous analysis, the hit rate of shelling of 3 targets at the same time is not very low. In addition, the second and third rounds of shelling can be reasonably arranged only after the effect of the shelling is determined as soon as possible, and supplementary strikes can be arranged for special circumstances, so in the last salvo. All ship guns projected sensor shells. That is, each target has a sensor shell for reconnaissance.

There is no doubt that under such intensive reconnaissance, what the US maritime bases will become will be presented in front of the eyes of the commander of the South China Sea Fleet.

In fact, given the situation at that time, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet did not pin his hopes entirely on artillery.

In any case, before that, no one had proven that it was possible to destroy a fleet hundreds of kilometers away with an electromagnetic cannon, and a fleet with a powerful meter-segment interception capability. Although the Republic Navy had achieved good results by striking the Korean fleet with naval guns many years earlier, during the Korean War, the Republic Navy had also explored a similar tactic in the subsequent wars between Japan and India, that is, the use of naval guns against sea targets. However, before the Korean War, no country's navy had a reliable terminal interception system, and in the Japanese War and the Indian War, the only thing that could really be used by the naval guns of the Republic to torture and kill was the enemy's civilian ships.

Objectively speaking, no fleet commander will give up a safe and reliable strike force, that is, carrier-based aviation, until it is proved that the electromagnetic cannon is indeed the first naval weapon.

At this time, the 3 air wings of the South China Sea Fleet came in handy.

According to the South China Sea Fleet's operational records, when the order for artillery bombardment was issued, the fleet commander also gave an order to reduce the navigation of the aircraft carrier and keep a distance from the escort warships. Because the electromagnetic cannon fires shells in a vertical manner, "as long as the carrier-based fighters do not enter the sky over the escort warships when they take off," they will not be threatened, and will not have an impact on the artillery bombardment of the escort warships. To do this, it is only necessary to set a special course in the automatic control system of the carrier-based fighter and let the fighter fly along the special route after takeoff. Theoretically, as long as the aircraft carrier and the escort warship maintain a distance of one meter, the carrier-based fighter can take off when the escort warship uses its main guns. In fact, even when using dense air defense formations, the distance between the escort warships and the aircraft carriers is about the same kilometer, and they will not be too close to each other. so as not to interfere with each other in the terminal interception systems. That is, the shelling will not have an impact on aviation operations. To be precise, there will be no impact until the carrier-based fighter returns.

Since there are more secure options, there is no reason to ignore them.

Around 4 o'clock. The first carrier-based fighters began to take off.

Because the reconnaissance aircraft have already determined that the fighters of the 4th Tactical Aviation Group arrived at the US sea base. Moreover, it was attacked by US fighters, so it was the fighter that took off first to carry out the escort mission. To be precise, these fighters will replace the air defense fighters that rose into the air at 2 o'clock in the morning, and the air defense fighters have already killed the US military sea bases after the fleet commander has made the attack decision, looking for US fighters for a decisive battle.

Apparently. There is not much suspense in air battles.

In any case, a sea base is a sea base. And not a real battleship, and even more so a fleet. Although in terms of supporting aviation operations, sea bases surpass aircraft carriers, but in terms of cooperative combat capabilities, sea bases are far inferior to aircraft carriers. Not even comparable to the average escort battleship. The reason is very simple, from the cost savings, most of the sea bases are not equipped with the corresponding command system, and after the outbreak of the war. The U.S. Navy has also not had time to add a command system for air operations to its sea bases.

In fact, at that time, it was another force that had a greater impact, that is, carrier-based AWACS aircraft.

Although the 4th Tactical Aviation Group has a strong independent combat capability, in addition to having a number of fighters, there are also many early warning aircraft, among which the younger sister is a large early warning aircraft, and the aircraft is a carrier-based early warning aircraft, but in this battle, because the sea base is formed in the mode of sea domination, the runway with a long work meter cannot allow large early warning aircraft to land. So the activities of the fighter are accompanied by carrier-based AWACS aircraft. As everyone knows, carrier-based early warning aircraft are small early warning aircraft, which are controlled by their own nature, and the flight degree of all carrier-based early warning aircraft is very limited. Far from keeping up with carrier-based fighters. According to the combat records of the US military, the early warning planes following the activities of the 4th Tactical Air Group were still over the western region of Australia at about the midnight of the battle time, and the distance between them and the sea bases was too far. Kilometer.

That is, when the air battle began. American fighters were not supported by AWACS.

It can be seen from this that "there is nothing unusual about the results of air battles that are inferior to O." Of course, no one can ignore the fact that in this victory, at least some of the US fighters were shot down by long-range missiles fired by the carrier-based fighters of the Republic Navy, and only about the strength of the US fighters were shot down by two or even three times the size of the Republic's fighters. Some people may think that this proves that line-of-sight air combat has become mainstream again, but objectively speaking, this air battle proves only one point, that is, in interception air combat. AWACS aircraft still have an irreplaceable role, and in dog-fleam air combat, quantity is much more important than quality.

Almost simultaneously with the air battle, fighters on attack missions began to take off.

It is undeniable that the degree of the fighter is no matter how fast. It's not as good as the Limach's electromagnetic cannon shells. So by the time the first fighters took off, the first round of shelling was over.

ten thousand

Judging by the battlefield information returned by reconnaissance shells. The two sea bases farthest from the South China Sea Fleet were hit by dozens of shells and were completely paralyzed. Incapacitated, the closer sea base was evacuated when it was shelled, and each of its own modular boats escaped the shelling. Truth be told, although the shelling was not perfect, it was beyond expectations.

As a result, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet did not allow carrier-based fighters to attack the other two sea bases. Instead, let the group go after the 4 module ships that escaped. It is precisely for this reason that before the four points were divided, the South China Sea Fleet adjusted its artillery attack tactics, and under the command and coordination of the flagship, the escort warships of the three aircraft carrier battle groups were divided into two shelling groups and opened fire on the other two US naval bases. Because one of the remaining 2 sea bases is made up of broken module ships, the artillery of the South China Sea Fleet is not evenly distributed. According to the records of the engagement, the fleet commander at that time directly intervened in the artillery operation. Have the blade guns on the old ship concentrate on attacking the sea base consisting of 2 modular ships. In addition, take a look at the battleship's electromagnetic cannon against the last sea base capable of fully supporting aviation. This tactical distribution seems incomprehensible. However, judging from the situation at that time, when the overall situation had been decided, the commander of the South China Sea Fleet changed the purpose of the campaign, that is, it was no longer to paralyze the US naval bases, but to completely annihilate the US naval bases.

First of all, we must admit that this adjustment is in line with the actual situation.

Standing in the position of a commander, if there is a chance to completely annihilate the enemy, it is unreasonable to be weak. Even from a technical point of view, the most important thing in the offshore base is undoubtedly the core module with a full set of power systems, and the cost of building a core module ship is more than the cost of building an ordinary module ship. Therefore, when any commander deals with a sea base, the main purpose will be to strike the core module ship. From the previous introduction, it can be seen that the U.S. military sea base in Li, a core module ship, has to attack the Yan sea base. What's more, a sea base with only 2 modules not only has more targets, but also has a faster evacuation in case of emergency, so it is necessary to use more artillery fire for it.

The key is here, will the US military carry out an emergency evacuation?

It can be seen that in the previous battle. The commander of the fleet of the republic has been acting in accordance with the established tactics and has not taken the initiative to innovate.

It is conceivable that without much experience to draw on, US commanders will also act according to established tactics.

That is, after a sudden blow. The US military sea base will definitely be evacuated urgently.

And that's exactly what happened. According to the combat records of the U.S. military. Before the old point of the battle time. The commander gave an emergency evacuation order and asked the fighters, who had not yet had time to land, to go about four kilometers to the east. If you don't have enough fuel, consider skydiving. In other words, all US military naval bases have completed their aviation operations as quickly as possible. And evacuation is carried out at the highest level. Because the US commander believed that the other side would carry out artillery attacks from near and far, among the sea bases that were hit first, the one closest to the South China Sea Fleet was the first to evacuate, while the sea bases, which were slightly farther away, did not evacuate immediately, but received the last batch of fighters. So as not to lose too much aviation power before a counterattack.

From this it follows that before the second round of shelling, the evacuation of the sea base was also completed.

To be precise, the modular ships that make up the sea base are completely separated and escape in all directions as quickly as possible.

If the sea base, which consists of 3 modular ships connected in series, is very cumbersome and very cumbersome to turn. Then each module boat, which is only many meters long, is very flexible and not only has no problem with steering. In case of emergency, it can also be quickly evacuated from dangerous seas. In the case that the module ships fled to the periphery, the distribution range exceeded 100 million square meters after 4 minutes, and the second round of shelling began in the old minutes after the US commander issued the evacuation order, and the shells fell already after the bell, so the distribution range of the US modular ships exceeded 400 million square meters, that is, about the square kilometers of concave force. In this case, even if all the naval guns were to shoot the shells at the fastest speed, the chances of hitting a modular ship would not be over

From the combat records of the Navy of the Republic, it is known that the second round of shelling had a zero hit rate.

More importantly, before that, the South China Sea Fleet had already sent an aviation strike force, and it was not until 4 o'clock that the artillery hit rate was determined to be zero, and by this time, the first fighters that had taken off to carry out the attack mission had already fired the anti-ship missiles they carried.

ten thousand

If you organize a second attack, it will definitely be too late.

Even if the fighters who stayed behind to deal with the emergency took off with anti-ship missiles, they would not have time to catch up with the US fast transport ship that had escaped with the force.

At that time, the biggest question was not whether they could catch up, in any case, ships were much slower than planes and missiles. The problem is that if the target cannot be found, it is useless to use the plane and the missile no matter how fast it is. At that time, the search for the fleeing US military express transport ship. Definitely a very difficult thing to do.

It was precisely for this that the commander of the South China Sea Fleet had to give the order to stop the attack.

Before dawn, the South China Sea Fleet dispatched reconnaissance planes and began searching for the US express transport ship. By noon on the 6th, reconnaissance planes had appeared in the US express transport fleet at a distance of four meters to the east. Moreover, the carrier-based air force of the South China Sea Fleet was also ready to attack, and the fleet commander also issued an attack order, and carried out a long-range attack on the US express transport fleet in the afternoon of the same day, but at this time the US fleet was already under the protection of shore-based fighters, and the fighters of the 4th Tactical Air Group were supported by AWACS aircraft. So the attack did not have any effect.

In the afternoon of the same day, the South China Sea Fleet turned north. Went to rendezvous with the Indian Ocean Fleet, and the battle against the US naval base was over.

From this battle, it can be seen that the electric bumper cannon has shown extremely sharp attack ability, especially in extremely close combat, and the combat efficiency of the electric bumper cannon surpasses that of any other sea control weapon. It even dwarfs the air force, but under the circumstances of relatively conservative tactical thinking and the relative lack of reconnaissance forces, it is difficult to wield the power of electric contact guns, and it is even more difficult to become a key force that determines the outcome of the battle at a critical moment.

It must be admitted that it is not the performance of the electromagnetic gun itself that restricts it, but the supporting forces, especially the means of information support.

Theoretically speaking, the spiral electromagnetic cannon has almost unlimited range Physicists have long made calculations, as long as the output energy is large enough, it can even shoot the shell to the moon, and the spiral electromagnetic gun is not harsh on the caliber of the shell, that is, the quality of the shell, so the spiral electromagnetic gun has a very huge potential, and it is entirely possible to surpass all tactical naval weapons including long-range cruise missiles in the range, and become the number one weapon in naval warfare. In order to unleash the power of the spiral electromagnetic cannon, the first thing to be solved is the problem of information support, that is, how to obtain and provide timely, accurate, and comprehensive battlefield information.

It can be said that this is the biggest revelation brought by this "naval artillery battle".

It is definitely not only the Navy of the Republic that understands this. Realistically speaking, as a victim, the blow suffered by the US Navy can be described as "unforgettable", in order to prove that electromagnetic cannon shells can pose a lethal threat to warships. The U.S. Navy even had an attack submarine secretly return to the waters of the engagement after several days, using deep-sea robots. A comprehensive survey of the sunken fast transport ship was carried out, and first-hand data on the electromagnetic cannon shells of the Navy of the Republic were obtained. All in all. After this attack, the US Navy seemed to have woken up from a big dream and began to catch up in the new tactical field.

As the winner of the naval battle, because it was an incomplete victory, the Navy of the Republic saw the problem more thoroughly when summing up the sea control tactics of electromagnetic guns. In the eyes of the Navy of the Republic, the main factor restricting the combat efficiency of the electric bomber in naval warfare is no longer the firing range, but the hit rate.

In any case, this is definitely an epoch-making naval battle, a naval battle that is capable of subverting all traditional tactics.
