Chapter 0021: The Contest (1)

There is a limit to the power of Daepodong 1.

This kind of second-stage medium-range ballistic* is a two-stage medium-range ballistic* developed on the basis of Labor 1*, which is called Labor 2 or E Scud in Western countries. It adopts liquid propulsion, the range is 1500~2000 km, and the weight of the warhead is about 700~1000 kg.

Just 5 seconds after Taepodong-1* lifted off, the National Defense System (TMD) of Iwoongguo calculated the ballistic parameters of its trajectory and issued an early warning to the USS Walton aircraft carrier formation within 3 seconds.

When they reached the "Walton" aircraft carrier and its formation 3 kilometers away, the "Walton" "Hyram" * system 21 combined defense* and the ship-borne "Sea Sparrow" and the "Phalanx" M61A1 20-mm guns together formed an impermeable fire net and carried out high- and low-altitude interception. Even mosquitoes can't survive in front of this fire net.

Of the 16 Taepodong 1*, 15 were intercepted by the USS Walton and its formation. But it is very strange that one of them* has pierced a large hole in the USS Walton, the destroyer Aegis Aegis* in the USS Walton.

Commander of the Pacific Fleet of the Lixiong State, McLamarra, was reading the report submitted by the captain of the USS Copest. The report was also submitted to the Hexagonal Office of Operational Analysis. After the results came out, the Ministry of Defense issued an order to the "Walton" aircraft carrier formation within two hours: According to the existing coordinates, it should retreat 1,000 nautical miles and make an active defense.

Why did the Hexagon give such an order?

As the commander of the fleet, McLamarra is not unaware of the air defense configuration of the "Ticonderoga-class" Aegis system, and the "Copeth", which has powerful anti-aircraft, anti-ship, and anti-submarine combat performance, has an AN / SPY-1A multifunctional phased array radar system, which can track and monitor 400 incoming targets at the same time, and can automatically track 100 dangerous targets in a timely manner, and the "Standard 3" * interception system should be said to be the world's most advanced tactical * interception system. It plays a decisive and fundamental role in the "Naval Area Defense System" (NAD). It is such an Aegis battleship that can deal with attacks from all directions*, and the high-tech myth that was armed to the teeth, was actually pierced by a big hole in the not very advanced "Daepodong 1"*, and scrapped. How could this not shock him!

In order to find out why, the Hexagoon did not hesitate to retreat the entire fleet by 1,000 nautical miles, which can be described as a high price. Because the entire strategic layout of Yu was disrupted by an accident, it is not so simple to evaluate the previous strategy and tactics, revise them, and then lay them out. Opportunities are fleeting.

There is only one reason for the report that the destroyer "Kaopes" was disabled: the "Taepodong-1"* suddenly released two decoy bombs when it was 2 kilometers away from the "Kaopes", and made a serpentine orbit change, and finally penetrated the "Kaopes" vertically like a sharp sword. Ren Aegis's intensive intercepting fire still could not protect itself from being hit. Strangely, the other 15 "Daepodong 1"* were not as bait and orbit changing as this one that pounced on the "Kaopes". Why is that?

Could it be that the * launched by the Beixian people is different? Now that it is known that the * with variable orbit is capable of sinking the Aegis battleship, what does Bei Xian mean by doing this? What kind of message does it send to the country of Lichung?

As a further inference, Beixian's "Daepodong 1" originally did not have the ability to change orbits, so why did it suddenly have this performance? Who helped Beixian's* have this performance? Arctic or Yu?

I don't want to have a large-scale armed conflict with the country of Lixiong, so I warn the country where the red line is! That's how Bei Xian is telling Li Xiongguo.

The Hexagonal Office has also received reports of losses from the ballistic attack of the Globe Nation's fleet by the ballistic attack of Taepodong-2.

The ball country is not as lucky as the Li Xiong country, and it is obvious that Beixian did not put the ball country in an important position. A total of 8 "Taepodong-2"* "Daepodong-2" * sank a total of 4 destroyers and frigates of the Globe Country. Among them, of course, there is the Aegis level.

As soon as Beixian did this, the war situation in the entire East China Sea immediately changed. Because Li Xiongguo and Qiu Guo knew that Bei Xian's impulse was not accidental. I also know that it is closely related to Yu's technology and strategic layout. A Beixian who is not afraid of death and a powerful and mysterious Yu country make the country of Qiu and the country of Li Xiong a little timid. Therefore, in just 3 hours, all the ships placed at the door of the East China Sea Fleet of the Yu State began to retreat 800 nautical miles.

Underground Command Center of the Ministry of National Defense in Xishan, Beijing, Yuguo.

Watching the satellite image of the three mixed fleets of the Globe Country leaving one after another, Bai Jinhan, head of the Joint Operations Staff Department of the three armed forces of the Yu State, smiled contemptuously. This expression did not escape the eyes of Geng Helin, the head of the Operations Division.

At the operational meeting that followed. Bai Jinhan is making a summary of the campaign and the next action plan.

"Comrades, this time we didn't make a move, and the fleet of the Lixiong Country and the Globe Country Fleet suffered such a heavy blow, and it seems that the so-called TMD and NAD are just like that. Beixian's strategic cooperation was successful. Although Beixian suffered from the artillery attack of Nanxian, it had a good record in its first appearance, which is also inseparable from the strong satellite intelligence support we provide. If Beixian didn't have our restraint, I'm afraid even * He would dare to fight out. This preemptive coverage strike, which dismantled one of our potential adversaries, is in line with our strategic guiding principles. Now that the wolves are all around, it is necessary to catch one and cripple him. This effect proved successful in this preemptive strike of Beixian. We don't lead to it, and we can't figure out the details of the ball country and the Lixiong country. This laid a good foundation for the next phase of the campaign. ”

Then Geng Helin made another battle estimate; "Comrades, although Beixian's move disrupted the layout of the encirclement and suppression group headed by Li Xiongguo, it was only the result of tactics. Liu Xiongguo's retreat of 1,000 nautical miles does not mean that he has given up on his long-planned strategic plan. Next, we need to be prepared for hard fighting. Li Xiongguo will not give up. Their advantage is still strong, and we must prepare more support to Beixian, and even give strong defensive support at the right time. Our submarine detachments in the East China Sea and the North Sea should go out to the second island chain, and make tactical presets for the Guam base and aircraft carrier fleet of the Lixiong State and the navies of the Globe countries, and conduct low-intensity confrontations when necessary to reduce the pressure on Beixian. The next moves of the ball country and the movements of the Mona country to the west are all worth being wary of. I'm worried that weirder things will follow. Be prepared. In the evening, I will summarize the situation with the people from the Intelligence Department of the Ministry of Security. ”

For three days in a row, the people in the combat department did not close their eyes.

Geng Helin walked out of the command center, the night had not yet receded, and the darkness before dawn made people feel deeply oppressed. Looking at the lights of thousands of homes in Beijing, Geng Helin took a hard puff of cigarette and spit it out. In the smoke in front of him, the lights of those homes seemed to tell him what responsibilities and obligations were.
