Chapter 198: A Sharp Counterattack
In the famous Defense Department building in the United States, in a conference room, multiple display screens are transmitting what happened in distant Africa.
An admiral grimly looked at the satellite photographs of the ground, which were very clear, with two screens next to each other showing before and after the bombing.
Although the photos before the bombing were taken during the day and at night after the bombing, some differences can be seen at a glance.
In the photo before the bombing, rows of factories stood neatly, and the factories in a certain location were specially circled.
In the photos after the bombing, the original location of the factory building has become a ruined wall, especially the location of the factory that was previously circled.
The original factory building has disappeared, replaced by a bottomless crater, at least 100 meters in diameter, which is the key attack position of the two batches of missiles.
And the fire is still raging here, and the last few missiles that hit here have a kind of incendiary warhead.
Of the 20 missiles launched by the first batch of battleships, at least 8 hit here.
After that, the missiles launched by the B2 bomber hit accurately again, and these missiles were all with ground-penetrating warheads.
The people of the United States are to avoid the basement and other spaces in this factory, and to ensure that the target person, Du Qiu, has no possibility of dodging the missile attack.
And in particular, several missiles with incendiary warheads were mixed in, which was guaranteed to burn this place to the ground.
Although the people of the United States used a special satellite with high-definition shooting capabilities this time, the photos are indeed very clear.
But after all, it was night, and the effect of the bombing needed to be further confirmed.
"Director Sandy, judging from the current situation, the target person should have been blown to pieces."
Director Sandy on the side smiled and said, "Of course, the threat of the rice country must be cleared." General Van Diaat, this can be regarded as revenge for the previous Sidewinder squad. ”
Admiral Van Diatt said indifferently: "We have spent so much money on this operation, and it would be a great shame if we couldn't blow up this person." ”
At this time, Kerry, who was still staring at those screens, suddenly said: "How often can this satellite photo be updated?" ”
A lieutenant colonel officer next to him replied: "For this mission, the E32 satellite has been orbited over the target area, and it can be updated and photographed nine times per minute." ”
Kerry asked in surprise: "But why do I feel that after such a period of time, this photo does not seem to have changed, and the satellite data is still transmitting normally?" ”
The lieutenant colonel officer was a little unconvinced, and said, "I'll contact the command center, these images are from them, and they may be a problem there." ”
The lieutenant colonel officer quickly contacted the command center, "What? Lost satellite contact? ”
The exclamation of the lieutenant colonel officer alarmed General Van Diatt and Director Sandy, and the two asked in unison: "What happened to the satellite?" ”
The lieutenant colonel officer reported: "The news has just come from the command center that the E32 satellite is missing, and they have notified NASA for testing. ”
Director Sandy felt a haze in his heart, and he remembered that when he was chasing Du Qiu two years ago, the satellites of the three commercial satellite companies were lost and controlled.
"General, will your military's satellite system be hacked?"
General Van Diatt shook his head and said: "Impossible, the military's satellite system is an independent network, and it has a strong protection system, no one can invade from the outside, unless someone assists from the inside, there is a slight possibility." ”
"General, the latest situation, two B2s suddenly lost contact over the Indian Ocean on the way back!" An adjutant reported loudly.
Van Diaat's whole person was suddenly a little bad, B2 had never had an accident on a combat mission, how could he suddenly lose contact on the way back this time?
"Aren't there satellite locators on airplanes? How could I get lost? Didn't the driver report anything unusual before he lost contact? ”
The adjutant reported: "Before the base lost contact with the aircraft, the pilot was still talking to the base normally, and then it was suddenly interrupted and the locator signal was lost.
At present, the base has sent search and rescue planes and ships to the airspace and sea area where the accident occurred, but it will take some time to arrive. ”
Van Diatt looked at Sandy and asked, "Is the force behind this Du Qiu so powerful?" Able to intercept our B2 over the Indian Ocean? ”
Sandy's face was solemn and said: "There is no doubt that this force should be the same group of people who controlled our country's commercial satellites two years ago and finally caused us huge losses.
However, how do they know about the return route of our B2? And what weapon was used to make B2 lose contact? ”
Van Diatt looked at another major general in an air force uniform on the side and asked, "General Hunter, can you explain what weapons can cause the B2 to be in this situation?" ”
General Hunter said in a deep voice: "There is only one possibility for this situation to appear, that is, two B2s enter an electromagnetic wave shielding area.
It's just that in the sky over the ocean, how to create such an electromagnetic wave shielding area is a difficult point. ”
Kerry asked: "Isn't it possible to fall into the ocean directly after being shot down, and wouldn't it be easier for the ship to lay out an electromagnetic wave shielding area at a certain location?" ”
General Hunter nodded and said: "The situation you said is indeed okay, but it was mentioned in the report just now that after the base lost contact, the satellite locator signal was immediately checked, and it disappeared at the same time.
If it is shot down, the plane crashes into the sea, and then sinks to the bottom of the sea, the process is not short, and the disappearance of the satellite positioning signal cannot be synchronized. ”
When several bigwigs discussed the two sudden ** incidents here, in the vast Indian Ocean, the Greavely, which had just finished launching missiles off the coast of Kenya, received the news of the disappearance of the B2 fighter from the base of Diego Garcia.
They were asked to rush to the area where the accident occurred, as it was the closest to the Graveley, only 1,400 kilometers.
If you rush to the base, you will need to sail 2,000 kilometers.
Donald, the captain of the USS Graveley, was taken aback when he heard the news, how could there be an accident with a B2 bomber?
He did not know that the B2 bomber, carrying cruise missiles with different charges of warheads, launched an air attack on the South Sudan with his battleship.
When Donald marked the coordinates of the location given by the base from the chart, he was shocked again.
Isn't this place near the sinking of the battleship Koqin in the Three Kingdoms? It was just over 50 kilometers away, and his own battleship had just left there the day before yesterday.
With a stomach full of questions, Donald commanded the battleship to rush towards the area where B2 had an accident.
It's just that by the time he gets there, it will be 25 hours later.
Donald's doubts did not last long, and just over two hours later, the battleship lost contact with the outside world.
"Communications officer, what exactly happened to cause the communication to be lost?"
"I don't know, it looks like we're in an area where we're shielded from electromagnetic signals."
"Did the radar find anything? And what about sonar? Donald pressed the others.
The radar officer immediately reported: "The radar is normal, there are no threatening targets in the air, and there are no threats on the sea." ”
The sonar officer reported: "No submarines have been detected. ”
By this time, there was already a hazy morning light in the sky, and there was some visibility on the sea, Donald picked up the telescope and searched the sea.
At this moment, as if the bottom of the battleship had suffered a huge impact, the entire battleship jumped up from the sea.
The battleship's siren sounded like crazy.
Donald got up from the ground, he didn't know what was going on, could it be that the battleship and the submarine collided?
But the sonar officer just said that he hadn't found the submarine.
"Attention units, observe the sea surface situation, and report the damage to the battleship!"
Donald turned to the sonar officer and yelled, "Find me the guy at the bottom of the sea!" ”
"Report to the captain, there is a lot of water in the bilge, and it can't be blocked!"
At this time, everyone noticed that the battleship began to sink!
"Report to the captain, there's a huge object at the bottom of the sea, I can't tell what it is, but it's definitely not a submarine!" The sonar officer shouted.
"Huge objects? How big is it? ”
Before Donald's words fell, the battleship was rammed again.
This impact caused the Graveley to roll on its side!
This is a 9,200-ton behemoth, the main Aegis ship of the Mi Army, and it was actually knocked over in the sea at this moment!
The sailors of the Graveley, scrambling to escape from the battleship, which sank extremely fast.
The main thing is that when it was hit for the first time, the bottom was broken, a lot of water entered, and it was already in the process of sinking.
Captain Donald was somehow thrown out of the battleship and fell into the water, and he desperately swam to the side to avoid being dragged to the bottom of the sea by the sinking battleship.
A ray of sunlight shone on the sea, and the day dawned.
Donald looked back at his ship as he swam, and was completely stunned by what he saw!
