Chapter 271 271 The Last Naval Battle (Part II)
Liu Heqian and a group of Guo Navy officers had extremely wonderful expressions on their faces, and they were full of the hope that the Hsiungfeng-1 missile, which had taken many years of time and time spent by Taiwan's Chinese Academy of Sciences and even some researchers who had worked too hard to die, would definitely be able to severely damage the PLA Navy ships and save some face for the Guo army that had fallen behind in this naval battle. Unexpectedly, as soon as everyone cheered and spoke, ready to see the missile hit the PLA ship, an anti-aircraft missile actually easily knocked out this Xiongfeng anti-ship missile.
"What kind of ship is that, is there one in the Navy?" Only then did Liu Heqian open his eyes to examine the obviously larger battleship.
"It is estimated that there are tens of thousands of tons, is the **** naval equipment manufacturing capacity already so strong, can build such a huge destroyer, oh no, this is estimated to be a cruiser." The political officer beside him sighed.
Originally, in this timeline, the contemporaneous Guojun Navy paid more attention to understanding the development trend of naval equipment in the world, while the other side had fewer opportunities and it was difficult to borrow, but at this time it has been completely reversed, and the equipment of PLA has led wave after wave of new trends, like the first-class experts in the circle, and the traditional European naval powers have to absorb beneficial elements from China's design, an obvious change is that because of 052A, 054A and other Chinese ships, It is clear that the newly designed ships in Europe have begun to approach the characteristics of the later generations with a focus on stealth, avionics, and vertical hair systems.
Liu Heqian's eyes widened as he looked at the ship, the not-so-tall bow tower was plastered with two hexagonal slabs on both sides of the front, which made him easily think of the Ticonderoga-class supercruiser that the US military commissioned in the early eighties.
"Is it an Aegis ship? That must be a phased array radar! Liu Heqian naturally knew what those were, but it was obvious that the flagship of the fleet opposite, the cruiser that would destroy one of their anti-ship missiles with a single blow, should be bigger and more powerful in tonnage and firepower than the Ticonderoga class of the US military.
An officer of the fruit army said weakly: "With so much money they have taken, they have built so many warships and warplanes in such a short period of time, why did the bandit army not go bankrupt?" ”
In fact, many people in the world are curious about this question, and some people speculate that it is precisely because of the large-scale military use that China's economy is in dire straits, that it has repeatedly attacked foreign countries and plundered the wealth of small Southeast Asian countries to subsidize their families. After all, you can't guess something like a red police base.
The cruiser Nanjing basically looks like an enlarged 052D, and if it has a front and rear effect, it even looks like it is carved out of a mold. However, there are still many differences between them, first of all, the 052D plate array radar is quadrilateral, while the 055 cruiser uses the hexagonal hexagon of the US military, and academic research believes that the hexagonal plate array radar has better detection capabilities. In addition, the bridge of 055 is stepped shape, the lowest layer is CIC, the upper layer is a plate array radar, and the upper layer is a closed integrated mast, which is more concise than the 052D's deck design, and there are fewer exposed equipment. The slender hull ensures that the front 64 and rear 64 vertical hair can be stowed down, and the wider width also allows its hangar to accommodate two Z-20 anti-submarine helicopters.
Like Ticonderoga, the Type 055 cruiser plays the role of the air defense hub in the fleet, although the 052D also has the Aegis system, and the air defense capability should not be underestimated, but the 055's domineering and arrogant combat power still makes the position of its core ship very obvious.
"Did the Americans give the Aegis ship's skills to ****?" Liu Heqian thought to himself, he shook his head, he thought that China and the United States have not been close to each other to such an extent, just as the United States' most core allies, Britain and Japan, and other countries cannot get a little bit of information about the Aegis system, let alone China, which is still separated from the United States by several layers of window paper.
"The other side is already so powerful that it is able to develop a super warship that is not inferior to the United States?" The more Liu Heqian thinks about it, the colder his body becomes, but the more he refuses to admit defeat and his self-esteem increases.
"Shoot again, fire all the missiles!" He couldn't see his fleet being sunk like a joke by the other side, at least one, or seriously wounded.
The Soviet Union's saturation attack strategy was widely circulated in this era, and it also gave birth to the Aegis system to resist saturation attack; Liu Qian and Zhilu said that these regional air defense warships must have cover doors, and China's technology will not be better than that of the United States, as long as it hits more missiles, it will definitely be effective.
Several Yangzi destroyers launched a total of six anti-ship missiles, and not all of the ships in Liu Qianhe's hands were equipped with anti-ship missiles, some were Angel missiles imported from Israel, and some were self-made Hsiungfeng 1 types.
The sirens sounded loudly on the cruiser Nanjing, and the distance was only thirty or forty kilometers so close, and the reaction time given to the PLA naval fleet was also quite short, and Guo Dezhu also felt a little embarrassed in a cold sweat, and this was also the first time for him, or the first time for the PLA, to face such a saturation attack.
According to the combat manual, Guo Dezhu calmly ordered: "Enter the automatic defense mode!" ”
"The automatically selected defense mode enters, and the system automatically engages!" The intelligence officer shouted, as nervous as the captain.
At the same time, the other Aegis ships in the entire fleet have also chosen the same combat mode, and the Aegis system will autonomously select the target of attack according to the threat level, and at the same time engage the approaching threat object, without the need for the weapons officer in the CIC to operate. The reason why there is such a combat mode is to avoid mistakes and omissions by panicked personnel at the critical moment, and finding the target again and again and then pressing the button can only waste the already short reaction time.
After the Xiamen, a Type 052D destroyer in the lead, activated the countermeasure system, the 730 close-in defense guns on the ship immediately rotated, and a barrage was fired at an approaching anti-ship missile. Although the base version of the Chinese Aegis ship is slightly weaker and can accommodate a cruiser with larger equipment, it is greatly improved compared with the original in terms of data integration capabilities, weapon performance, reconnaissance and detection capabilities, and reaction speed. The 730's autonomous fire control system and tracking capabilities have also made substantial breakthroughs, and it can immediately shoot and blow up a missile as soon as it approaches.
Not to be outdone, another 052D launched two Haihongqi-16s, attacking two missiles closer to its own trajectory, both of which hit. Interestingly, one of the missiles she launched hit the cruiser Nanjing, and the Thorn-3 launched by the cruiser Nanjing hit first, and then this Haihongqi-16 also hit the blast.
Although each ship has the ability to connect with each other, the overall combat integration system has not been fully constructed, which is an ununlocked skill in the combat lab and needs to be studied. It is the [cloud combat system], which belongs to an important branch of the "electronic warfare-information-based warfare" science and technology tree. After unlocking the cloud combat system, each combat unit will become a cloud, and will share intelligence data and computing power, and a controller will assign more efficient attack targets, and such repeated attacks will no longer be detected.
In fact, early warning aircraft have already had such a prototype in assigning targets to various fighters, but cloud operations will be more precise and efficient, and mission computers will replace human decision-making and avoid some inefficient choices.
This technology is also being developed by Qi Yiming, but it belongs to the top of the technology tree, and it needs to be pointed up step by step.
Although there is no cloud combat capability, the combat performance of each Aegis ship itself is amazing enough, and Qi Yiming, who is not short of money, can let them fight missiles at will, but instead create a denser and more ferocious firepower network.
Hongqi-16, Thorn-3, FL-3000N plus 730 close-in defense guns, combined with a variety of weapons, the 6 anti-ship missiles launched by the Guojun did not even fall on the hull deck after the explosion.
In comparison, the 054A frigate, which also has a certain regional air defense capability, is slightly worse. 055 and 052D and 054A, almost three generations of different warships, 055 is the most advanced, 052D is second, and then 054A, the scientific and technological content is about 5-10 years apart. The 054A does not have an Aegis system, and is equipped with 4 Type 345 fire control radars to guide the Hongqi-16, but the reaction speed is much worse than that of ships with Aegis systems. 054A here just wanted to lock on to the target, and several Aegis destroyers over there had already finished fighting.
Perhaps the current 054A is already an extremely advanced warship in the eyes of many countries, but as the Navy is equipped with more and more Aegis ships, and the manufacturing cost of 052D is not high, and the performance of air defense, anti-submarine and anti-ship is more perfect, the status of 054 series frigates is bound to be more embarrassing. This war is estimated to be the last time that the 054A frigate will represent the PLA, and Qi Yiming has arranged the production plan of 36 advanced version of 054B, which will fully replace the 20 054A frigates in service. The new version of the frigate has a displacement of 5,000 tons, adopts a rotating high-mast phased array radar like the Horizon-class and Type 45 destroyers, and is equipped with 48 medium-sized vertical launch units (it cannot launch large missiles such as anti-ship missiles, and mainly launches anti-submarine missiles and medium-range anti-aircraft missiles).
At this time, seeing that the attack was completely unsuccessful, Liu Qianhe and the rest of the Guo Army Navy were already in despair, the other party was not only tall and physical, but also had an iron wall, how could he not hurt the other party at all.
Before they could finish their sentimentality, the PLA fleet on the other side, which was already tired of doing defense, made a move. The 130mm main gun of the destroyer Xiamen was raised high, and several shells were fired with a bang.
"Is it crazy to fire so far?" But a few explosions from the destroyer Dangyang made them fall to the bottom.
Four shells of more than 30 kilometers can still hit two shells, and one shot is still close to missing, what kind of military technology does the army have?!
The 130 gun fires rocket extended-range ammunition, and the maximum range can reach hundreds of kilometers, and what is even more **** is that a simple seeker is added, which is actually a guided projectile. Compared with anti-ship missiles, guided artillery shells are naturally much cheaper, and the captain on the destroyer thinks that since it is already so close, there is no need to waste the YJ-12 against them, and the attack effect of this supersonic anti-ship missile at such a close distance is not as good as the YJ-83 carried by the 054A.
As if inspired by the Xiamen, several destroyers, including the cruiser Nanjing with 155mm main guns, actually began to fire extended range guided shells in succession, and their theoretical rate of fire was basically 40 rounds per minute, and it was like dozens of guns firing in a salvo, and the ten destroyers of the Fruit Army were suddenly exploded.
Qi Yiming covered his face in the base camp: "Is it really a naval battle during World War I?" ”
