Chapter 661 661 Lose the car and protect the handsome

Under the dual guidance of the Sea Wing Loong and the Dolphin, the Chinese submarine fleet, which had been dormant for a long time, launched a wave of anti-ship missile offensives against the US military, and more than a dozen submarines fired more than 20 YJ-18 submarine-launched anti-ship missiles in different directions almost at the same time. The US warships did not respond enough to the attacks of these missiles in a panic, and in order to protect the aircraft carriers, the US escort ships were clustered around the US aircraft carriers, and the distance was very close, and the surrounding water could not be leaked. Therefore, the defense of the US military against the anti-ship missiles issued by China is not very thorough, but there is also an advantage, that is, the anti-ship missiles that cannot make too complicated flights cannot bypass these escort ships, so that if you want to attack the US aircraft carriers, you must first pass these ships.

The U.S. military's Aegis system has proved to be ineffective in the face of China's powerful supersonic anti-ship missiles, and the Eagle Strike supersonic missile has at least Mach three when penetrating at the end, and can choose a variety of penetration trajectories, including serpentine, spiral, wave, etc., and can be matched, making it extremely difficult for the U.S. military to intercept these missiles.

Ticonderoga and Arleigh Burke fought desperately to resist the attacks, but the powerful missiles continued to hit the American warships. In particular, the warships of the NATO allies on the periphery suffered the greatest losses in this round of strikes, and the huge anti-ship missiles with warheads can sink almost any warship under 5,000 tons, and the huge explosions can sometimes kill quite a few sailors on the spot on the ship.

"We can't sit still, the cruiser-destroyer detachment 2 is coming out, we have to repel these submarines, otherwise the whole fleet will be finished!" Cornell wiped the sweat from his head and shouted orders.

"However, the second detachment may have been annihilated by the Chinese submarine before it got close to the Chinese submarine!" Said one of the commodore in the fleet.

Cornell sighed: "I naturally considered this possibility, but when the Chinese submarines find out that we have sent enough anti-submarine ships to threaten them, then they will transfer the fire of the attack to the second detachment, and the main force of our fleet, especially the Nimitz, can still be saved." Now our greatest task is to preserve the strength of our fleet as much as possible, and I announce that the expeditionary fleet will withdraw to Port Elizabeth to avoid conflict for the time being. ”

Even in the face of such a difficult war situation, Cornell's brain is still calm and sober, the Chinese air raid was successful, they used unknown terrible weapons to directly sink two US Nimitz-class aircraft carriers, although the US military still has a large number of ships, but the most critical air supremacy has been lost, even if the expeditionary fleet can still break through the Mozambique Strait into the Arabian Sea, the US military does not have enough air power to protect the fleet, and may be attacked by the Chinese Air Force and HN, Plus those annoying submarines sent into the deep sea.

Cornell could only admit that the U.S. military and NATO's Allied fleet had failed, and he was now thinking no longer about how to achieve victory, but how to stop losses. The Chinese fleet and fleet are still aggressive, like hungry wolves trying to tear a big piece of flesh at the Americans, the losses are already there, and all Cornell needs to do is how to control the losses and keep them to a minimum.

The cruiser-destroyer detachment of the U.S. fleet broke away from the main force of the fleet at top speed and headed for the direction of the Chinese submarines. At the moment of China's submarine attack, they have exposed their position, in fact, these hungry wolves under the Chinese Sea are not afraid of this, the US military has so far maintained a lack of weapons that can effectively strike Chinese submarines at long range, and in terms of speed, the underwater submarine speed of China's nuclear submarines is basically faster than that of the US military's non-nuclear-powered cruisers and destroyers, so unless anti-submarine aircraft are used, it is difficult for US surface anti-submarine ships to threaten China's nuclear submarines, and when anti-submarine aircraft can attack Chinese submarines, The Thorn-6 anti-aircraft missiles launched by attacking nuclear submarines are equally capable of shooting them down.

When he knew that Cornell had used this trick to lose the car and protect the commander, Zhang Juzuo also sighed, his opponent was definitely not as useless as many people imagined, and the Indian Ocean Fleet was able to achieve victory because of its strong military strength on the one hand, the generational advantage in weapons and equipment on the other hand, and the superb technical and tactical level of officers and men at all levels.

At present, the submarine fleet really cannot abandon the US detachment to attack the Nimitz, and the actual effect of attacking the Nimitz may not be good; this group of nuclear submarines does not carry anti-ship missiles equipped with vacuum implosion bombs, and if it is necessary to sink the US 100,000-ton aircraft carrier, 20 anti-ship missiles will not be able to be secured.

After all, the US detachment that has locked on the position of the submarine will pose a threat to Chinese submarines, and in all fairness, the number of these ships is not small, and they are also sufficient prey for the submarine force.

"Since you're here, don't go, eat them all!" Zhang Juzuo gave instructions, as a commander, he can't be greedy and chew too much, he knows the trade-offs and timing, obviously it is impractical to completely swallow the expeditionary fleet in this battle, but it is not too much of a problem to severely damage the expeditionary fleet.

The final part of the naval battle ended with the total annihilation of the 2nd Cruiser-Destroyer Squadron of the U.S. Cruiser-Destroyer, with the Chinese submarines hitting all their firepower on the surface ships that they knew were dying, and more than a dozen U.S. ships were sunk by Chinese submarines. Thousands of U.S. soldiers died in the Indian Ocean. And the slight twists and turns are that the two Seawolf-class nuclear submarines of the US military participated in the battle, and sank two Chinese Type 039C AIP submarines in the battle, but then one of them was sunk by the Chinese attack nuclear submarine, and the other escaped by chance, which can be regarded as one of the few past achievements that the US military has achieved in this battle.

Despite the delay of the second detachment, in the end the submarine force still did not catch up with the attack on the main fleet of the American army, and the Nimitz successfully withdrew to South Africa with the rest of the ships. In this naval battle, the US expeditionary fleet finally suffered a heavy blow, basically two aircraft carrier battle groups were completely destroyed, more than 100 fighters were shot down, thousands of US Navy officers and men were killed, and even most of them could not recover their bodies.

Another very strict problem is that the US military has lost two aircraft carrier battle groups, which has plummeted its ability to dominate the sea and air, and China's Indian Ocean Fleet has gained absolute control over the Indian Ocean.
