"It can't be!" Leahy threw down the urgent telegram from the Navy and did not want to send such an obvious joke to Roosevelt's desk.

As an old navy, still an admiral with a five-star hanging, he would never believe in the sinking of 3 cruisers by a destroyer of about 3,000 tons.

"It's a myth that only the layman would believe!" Leahy said disdainfully, and yelled angrily at his assistant: "Who is this kidding? ”

"This is indeed an urgent report from the front line, and we have confirmed all the procedures!" Brigadier General Blair replied with a little trepidation. At first, he thought it was a joke, but after repeated confirmation by many people in the navy, he realized that something was not normal.

Lehi picked up the emergency call again and read it again, but after reading it two or three times, he still found it incredible.

The navy is a branch of the armed forces that truly reflects the strength of a country, and in any case, the larger the battleship and the stronger the gun, the easier it is to gain the upper hand. A cruiser against a destroyer, except for a moment of negligence and being sunk by a torpedo, will not suffer in an ordinary artillery battle, not to mention 3 cruisers, including a 20,000-ton heavy cruiser.

"3 to 1, and was sunk by a destroyer? No way! Leahy shook his head again, but he was confused by several other urgent reports from his assistant.

News of attacks on Allied warships continued to come from all over the country, and even the Allied warships that had run to prepare to attack the Huaxia Maritime Transport Fleet were counterattacked by Huaxia warships.

In the case that most of the Chinese warships fought more with less and fought more with small ones, the Allied warships were still beaten and fled, or even completely annihilated.

Among them, there is no shortage of news about the sinking of cruisers and even aircraft carriers by destroyers and even torpedo boats. There was even a news that a cargo ship had sunk a destroyer, which was even more incredible than the news that Leahy had seen a destroyer sink a cruiser.

"What the hell is going on?" Leahy also found that his brain was running out of ideas.

If it is said that the Allied warships met the super battleships of Huaxia or those huge aircraft carrier formations to escort them, it can also be said that the strong strength of the Huaxia Navy overwhelmed the Allied forces. However, some of the achievements of the Huaxia Navy are no longer expressed in terms of strength, and have completely subverted his perception of the Navy for so many years.

"Those damn missiles again!" When the follow-up news kept coming, he suddenly roared.

……

"It's missiles again!" Marshall held his forehead and moaned.

Knowing Chinese, he even popped up in his mind the name of the Chinese missile he had gathered from intelligence and the meaning of the Chinese homonym "trick-or-treating".

Because of the disadvantage of the war in China, both Washington and Roosevelt were criticized by many people. Marshall as a descendant of Roosevelt. More trust was gained from Roosevelt. His responsibilities were not limited to the Chief of Staff of the Army, but he was also responsible for the overall management of a number of weapons programs.

The missile program is one of them.

After the Chinese air-to-air missiles showed their might in the air, the US military, which had obtained some information from the German army, also accelerated the research of missiles and increased the level of attention to them.

Roosevelt handed it directly to Marshall, not Truman.

It's just a pity that those missiles stuffed with vacuum tubes and relays did not work well.

It has also been suggested that it would be better to deal with those dexterous warplanes than to use them against huge warships. Even the V1 and V2 that Germany are still perfecting to deal with ground targets.

However, the US military realized that its powerful navy could defeat its opponent without using missiles, but it was easy to create opportunities for the opponent, and the initial anti-ship missile test was not effective. The project of army missiles is also accelerating.

The United States has successfully developed a new and massive surface-to-surface missile and dragged it to the test site.

Marshall here has not yet received concrete test results, and the news of the large-scale use of anti-ship missiles by the Huaxia people has given the Americans a blow to the head.

……

"Damn missiles! It's a different way of fighting entirely! Admiral Jin also had a headache, and couldn't help yelling in the face of a group of subordinates who were looking at each other in a hurry.

The advent of missiles changed the way warfare was conducted at sea.

At the beginning, the ship-to-ship missiles could easily reach a range of forty or fifty kilometers, and the strongest naval guns could reach it, but the accuracy rate had long been known to be biased there. Although at this distance. Some ship-based missiles are also not highly accurate. But it is a hundred times stronger than those naval guns.

Not to mention, it's just that someone else is killing with missiles from 30 kilometers away. The guns could only stare dryly.

Except for the battleships that could resist for a while with their thick skin and dry flesh, other cruisers and destroyers, and even aircraft carriers could not block the direct bombardment of missiles. Even ordinary light cruisers and destroyers only need one heavy ship-to-ship missile hit to tear the hull and finish it directly.

Of course, the performance of ship-to-ship missiles was not so strong at the beginning, and under the technical limitations of vacuum tubes and relays, and even ammunition and thrusters, their poor accuracy was somewhat disproportionate to the expensive construction cost.

Whether it is the old warships that need to be dealt with after World War II, or the inertia of the naval officers of various countries due to their own interests, the new tactics of naval warfare caused by missiles need to be slowly changed. That's why after World War II, when there was no strong demand for large-scale naval battles, the Americans have not been able to apply it on a large scale. On the contrary, it was the Soviet Union and Russia, which wanted to challenge the strong position of the US Navy, that it was difficult to seek a breakthrough in traditional tactics, so it had to find another way to vigorously develop missiles and detonate the power of warship missiles on the battlefield in the Middle East.

Admiral Kim was also aware of the US ship-to-ship missile program, but he did not take it seriously with the prototypes of missiles with poor performance. In his opinion, even if these missiles, which require special personnel to constantly serve them, pose some threat to the warship, they are not as good as two more naval guns, and they will not be able to get on the ship in a short time.

Who knew that the Huaxia people actually directly sacrificed such a trick. Including the air-to-ship missiles carried by fighters in the air, it dealt a heavy blow to the US Navy.

In the three days now, the U.S. Navy has destroyed 2 Essex-class aircraft carriers, 5 escort carriers, 8 heavy cruisers and 17 light cruisers, 31 destroyers, and a large number of other oil tankers, troop carriers, and other supply and cargo ships under the missile attack from Huaxia.

In addition, a large number of battleships were damaged and temporarily withdrawn from the battle columns.

Even if the U.S. Navy later paid attention to missile defense, it was still difficult to stop the long-range attack of missiles. If it weren't for the efforts of HNA to expel them, I am afraid the loss would have been even greater. But in the Atlantic, the power of the air-to-ship missiles carried by the Chinese jet fighters has made the Americans wary.

It's just that vigilance is vigilance, and in the face of the missile attack in China, the US military is just as dry-eyed.

The incoming missiles, like the Japanese suicide attacks, were much faster, and all kinds of anti-aircraft weapons were not very effective.

……

"Hell it really works!" Meng Xiang was very proud.

At this time, most of the ship-to-ship missiles taken out by the Huaxia Navy were Styx missiles, and even if they did not need to dispatch the more expensive Exocet missiles or even the powerful Granite, they could easily break through the ship's protection.

If it really works, future generations will not repeatedly upgrade radar and phalanx firepower, as well as various air defense interceptor missiles.

Besides, even if one or two missiles can be stopped by luck, Huaxia's missiles are launched one after another, and even several missiles are fired in unison, and as long as they hit one of them, they will be easily paralyzed.

The cost of such a destruction may be higher, but no matter how high the price of anti-ship missiles is, compared to those huge warships, it is also profitable. Moreover, Meng Xiang also has a discount card for the base.

"Missiles are really an artifact that can make and drop the tide of battle!" Meng Xiang was proud and sighed a little.

In the previous life, the Huaxia Navy continued to be weak, so that Meng Xiang always wanted to regain his impression in this world, even if he had missiles in hand, Meng Xiang still hoped to rely on traditional tactics and weapons to play the prestige of the Huaxia Navy, and even the battleship was a weapon that refused to give up.

However, after winning many successive naval victories, in the eyes of the Western world, there is still a lot of prejudice against the Chinese navy. Even though the Chinese had a large number of battleships and aircraft carriers, Westerners were still using tactical and strategic reasons to belittle the slightly immature Chinese navy.

To be honest, the Huaxia Navy is enough to squeeze into the third place in the world, but it is still a little far away from the two old powers, Britain and the United States, not to mention that it has to face the siege of the navies of two or even more countries at this time, and it is not optimistic about the world at all.

Perhaps relying on the continuous production of warships from the base and the continuous accumulation of achievements in Huaxia can gradually change the world's perception, but with a series of great changes, Huaxia has no more time.

Meng Xiang, who was still thinking of slowly leveling up until the end, completely destroyed the confidence of the Western maritime powers, after hesitating for a while, decisively let go of the restrictions on the use of missiles.

After Meng Xiang accelerated the offensive plan, missile ships and fighters equipped with air-to-ship missiles began to appear collectively around the world through modification or even direct production, and the Allied Navy was defeated in just a few days, and it did not dare to easily confront the Huaxia Navy.

It can be said that a small missile directly punctured the myth of the most powerful allied navy on the planet, allowing the Huaxia Navy to take the initiative in various sea areas for the first time. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
