Three hundred kilometers, on the sea.

The cruiser Chicago is already at full power.

In the history of U.S. warships, there are several USS Chicago, the last of which was struck by a torpedo dropped by the Japanese Air Force during World War II and eventually sank.

And the current one, which belongs to the Albany-class missile cruisers, and at the same time, when it was built, this kind of cruiser was already outdated, especially the superstructure, so all the original superstructure and weapons of this warship were removed and replaced. The converted ship has a new very high superstructure and relies heavily on aluminum to save weight.

Outwardly, the superstructure already has a relatively new appearance, but the hull below is still old, and such a combination is simply nondescript, and in the fifties and sixties, such modifications were numerous.

The shipboard weapon system is changing with each passing day, changing very quickly, and the previous hull can not be eliminated and wasted, so it can only be refitted in this way, and the current USS Chicago is a Baltimore-class cruiser, which was converted from the San Francisco Navy Yard in July 59 and returned to service on May 2, 64 as CG-11, after which, it became the flagship of the Third Fleet of the Pacific Fleet.

Now, accompanied by an aircraft carrier battle group, while conducting combat patrols, it received the most dangerous mission ever for the first time, and now, its mission is nearing completion.

Pretend to be your own aircraft carrier battle group and attract the opponent's Tu-22M bombers to drop missiles!

Yes, this is a suicide mission, and after accepting this mission, the bearded captain almost has only one question, who came up with this bad idea? I have to say, this idea is very interesting!

No one dared to think so, it was a joke, if nothing else, it must have been the idea of Nathan, who had a different brain than ordinary people.

Only Nathan had such a ghostly idea.

One of his warships, huge in size, on the opponent's radar screen, can definitely show the appearance of a large warship, at the same time as the withdrawal of his main fleet, his warship, moving in the direction of the opponent's reconnaissance aircraft, at the same time, in the sea area around him, by two electronic warfare planes in advance released a large piece of chaff interference, chaff suspended in the sea, and this warship, formed a strong echo reflection, and the Soviet people's maritime reconnaissance plane, long-distance discrimination is not strong, can only see the large echo, Therefore, when the radar of the reconnaissance plane was turned on, the target was accurately discovered.

And then? Ran, of course!

The Chicago was at full power, the four boilers were working at full power, black smoke was gurgling out of the chimney, the dark night sky echoed the characteristic howling of the four steam turbines, and the cruiser with a displacement of 17,000 tons was driven by 120,000 axle horsepower, and the top speed of 32 knots flew out on the sea.

At this time, the captain stood in the bridge, looking at the dark sea in front of him, preoccupied, while beside him, everyone else was a little timid.

Can you not be timid? Hundreds of anti-ship missiles flew in, and any one of them was enough to sink a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier! And, God knows if those Soviets were in anti-ship missiles, mixed with nuclear warheads!

As long as they are targeted by any of the anti-ship missiles, they will be buried here.

However, the captain was not afraid, all this, it seemed as if it was dangerous, but, it was all precisely calculated.

Those anti-ship missiles sound terrible, but at a speed of 32 knots, they can fly several nautical miles away during the time when the opponent's missiles arrive.

The enemy's missile, on the other hand, has to turn on the radar to search for it at the end of the stage, and its radar seeker has a very narrow field of vision, and as long as it runs out of the range of the opponent's seeker, it can be safe and sound.

At the same time, in order to cover the escape of the Chicago, two EA-6B electronic jammers are now engaged in jamming operations at full power.

The A-6 attack aircraft is the main attack aircraft in service on the US aircraft carrier, and at the same time, it has also been extensively improved on the basis of the fuselage of this attack aircraft, among which the electronic jamming aircraft is a derivative model.

Compared to the ordinary A-6 attack aircraft, its body has been lengthened and reinforced, and can accommodate four crew members. With the exception of one pilot, the other three, all of them were electronic officers.

It is wide above its vertical tail and has an electronic jamming antenna fairing inside. At its core is the AN/ALQ-99 tactical jamming system, while it can also carry five external electronic jamming pods. One of them was under the belly and four under the wing. Each pod is equipped with two jamming transceivers, which can interfere with one of the seven bands.

In later generations, the kind of full-band, large-blocking electromagnetic interference required an astronomical amount of energy, and it is impossible to achieve full-band electromagnetic interference, and can only carry out selective interference.

At the same time, this also requires a lot of electricity, so there is a pneumatic fan at the front of each pod to drive the generator to power the pod.

(This design is more peculiar, because the generator driven by the engine has limited power, so simply add a wind turbine, which reminds East China Zhixiong of a person's design, add a wind turbine on the top of the car, so that the car can drive forward, you can generate electricity, and the electricity generated can drive the car forward, well, the perpetual motion machine has appeared, a car that does not consume fuel.) ）

Now, the two EA-6Bs carry pods according to the mission combination, and their pendulum fairings are equipped with sensitive surveillance antennas, which immediately send out an early warning to the Chicago at sea when it detects the radiation signal of the distant Tu-95's sea-searching radar.

At this time, the Chicago was ready, and when the E-2 AWACS aircraft received the news that the other side had launched a missile, it immediately drove away! At the same time, these two electromagnetic jammers began to interfere at full power, so that the other side did not know the movements of their own warships.

Tossing for a long time, what's the use? Waste of anti-ship missiles of the Soviets!

Yes, it is a waste of anti-ship missiles of the Soviets, three flying regiments, hundreds of KH-22 anti-ship missiles, how much consumption is there for a saturation attack? In the second half of the year, the Pacific Fleet will definitely tighten its belts and get by.

And when the Soviets knew that the hundreds of missiles they launched did not hit any target at all, but were fired at an empty sea, they must have felt quite regretful, right? If they were islanders, they would have to apologize for their sins.

Of course, tempting them to launch missiles was only one of the purposes, so that the Soviets could not escape from the charge of taking the initiative to attack. Next, it's time to let the Soviets know that this trick of theirs will be crushed by the naval aviation of the United States!
