Chapter 247: The Temptation of the Undying Heart
Harris responded, "If the new weapon can be effectively defended, then we can let go and fight the amazing technology." ”
The generals at the meeting also nodded in agreement.
Curtis said indifferently: "But before that, we need to know if the magic technology has other weapons.
Let General Meyers lead Calvin to make a detour to the Cape of Good Hope to return home, taking the opportunity to approach the 1,000-kilometer defensive circle along the way, and test the temptation. ”
++++++++
Indian Ocean, 150 km east of the northern tip of the island of Madagascar.
The Calvinson aircraft carrier battle group is sailing in battle formation, with eight warplanes circling in the sky to escort it.
Meyers held up his binoculars and searched the empty sea, and his heart was actually a little anxious.
The sun is not much higher than the sea at the moment, and it is the time for the sunset to be infinitely better.
Although Meyers couldn't experience the artistic conception of "just near dusk" in the ancient poems of the Tang Kingdom, he still tasted the bitterness of failure.
Last week, he had just experienced a major defeat for the Mi army, and although he was reinstated as a front-line commander in a blessing in disguise, it was followed by a tentative mission of the 1,000-kilometer absolute defense circle of magical technology.
When the entire Calvin Trumpet formation received this task, their morale plummeted.
After all, all the ships "watched" the instant annihilation of friendly forces through the radar that day, and later the formation fighters took pictures of the remnants of the battlefield.
A small number of survivors were rescued by rescue helicopters, and the power of the meteor fireball attack described by these people has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Therefore, after receiving the order, Meyers carefully planned a route, and asked the assistance of the American diplomat in Madagascar, and asked the Malagasy government to send an invitation to visit.
Otherwise, Meyers may disobey again.
Although the current situation has eased, the United States Congress has clarified the identity of the magical technology terrorist organization in the form of a bill, and has adopted comprehensive sanctions and market ban measures.
The aircraft carrier formation's actions close to the east coast of Africa will be retaliated by magical technology.
After all, the Roth and the Rigan were more than 2,000 kilometers away from the east coast of Africa, and they were not within the absolute defense circle, so the other side used the meteor fireball weapon to carry out a devastating strike.
The voice of General Vin Diat, HQ, seemed to be echoing in Meyers' ears at the moment.
"The aircraft carrier formation should not enter that range, but it can send fighters to try it! After that, send another warship to the trial, and be sure to find out what method the other side uses to ensure that the 1,000-kilometer absolute defensive circle cannot be trespassed. ”
Meyers originally wanted to refuse, but McCarron persuaded him: "General, if you refuse, I'm afraid you will be dismissed from your post again."
Our formation still can't change the prospect of carrying out the order, so it's better for you to command us to complete this mission. ”
The plan given by the headquarters to return to China 1,000 kilometers beyond the east coast of Africa was not approved by Meyers.
Meyers asked for the assistance of American diplomats to obtain an invitation to visit Madagascar, believing that this would prevent the fleet from being sunk before it could get close to that defensive circle.
"General Meyers, four of the pilots volunteered to take part in the tentative operation, and the 'McFoy' in the formation volunteered for freedom of navigation on the east coast of Africa."
General McCarthy's voice interrupted Meyers' memories.
"Oh, did you make it clear to them?"
"Yes, they all know that they will face the unknown blow of magical technology, but they are still willing to volunteer for this mission, they think that on the Blue Star, for the US Navy, there is no forbidden area!"
Meyers' face was solemn, and he bowed his head slightly: "That's right, when the U.S. Navy can be made a statement by people, and it will be frightened to admit that there is a no-sail zone." ”
McCarthy nodded: "Yes, I arranged for the E-2D to take off to give early warning support, and at the same time keep the data link unobstructed, so that the picture of the opponent's strike means can be transmitted back in time." ”
Suddenly, there was a shout from the deck.
The two looked at each other, and at the same time walked out of the command room, and saw at a glance that on the deck, all the pilots lined up to salute the two planes that were about to take off.
There were also many ground crews saluting, and some people took the lead in shouting "Come on!" ”
Everyone chanted in unison, and the scene was quite emotional.
Seeing this scene, Meyers sighed with emotion: "The US Navy that I am familiar with is back. ”
In the midst of a cry, two fighters took off one after another, and the carrier-based aircraft of the Mi Army was an F18 Hornet two-seater fighter.
After the formation of two planes, they flew west towards the setting sun.
In the sky, eight F18s followed by an E-2D, and the group did not continue westward, but circled in the air.
On the sea, a destroyer accelerated westward alone, and the battleships of the entire formation suddenly sounded their whistles.
At this moment, the aircraft carrier formation is still about 200 kilometers away from the 1000-kilometer absolute defense circle in the statement of magical technology.
Fifteen minutes later, two fighters took the lead in breaking into the invisible 1,000-kilometer absolute defensive circle.
Hawke, the pilot of the long plane, shouted into the communication channel: "Gray Sparrow, I am an albatross, please follow me, let's fly close to the sea!" ”
"I'm on your right, fly with confidence, I'll keep an eye on it."
The two fighters instantly lowered their altitude, and after reaching an altitude of 50 meters above the sea surface, they began to fly westward.
"Albatross, we've been in for 10 kilometers and haven't seen anything, it seems that the magic technology is a bluff."
"Gray Sparrow, don't be careless, pay attention to the radar situation."
"There is no situation ...... the radar"
Before he could finish his words, the observer in the back seat had already shouted: "Fack, what is that, at two o'clock, at a distance of 30 kilometers, there are two bright spots flying towards us at high speed, they look like missiles, but why is there no radar lock warning?" ”
"I see, maybe it's a fighter with magical technology, let's shoot them down with missiles first."
While talking, two US warplanes simultaneously launched medium-range air-to-air missiles.
Two missiles flew towards the bright spots shown by the radar.
Hawk suddenly felt that something was wrong, these two bright spots were still accelerating, and the speed had reached Mach 5, which was faster than the maximum speed of Mach 4 of his own AIM120D.
The two AIM120D that had just been launched on his side had missed two bright spots at the moment, but they were turning, but it was obviously impossible to catch up.
This speed can't be a fighter jet.
Barely making him think much about it, two bright spots were already in view.
If it weren't for the bright spot of the tail vent, Hawke would definitely not be able to see these two guys.
It's too small, isn't it?
Despite this, the experienced Hawk and his wingman had separated in an instant and dropped decoy bombs.
In the light of a decoy bomb, suddenly two loud noises came.
The two fighters did not leave far at all, and were caught up by two bright spots, bursting into brilliant sparks in the sky.
Hawke and the others didn't even have time to skydive.
However, they did not die in vain, and some of the footage of the fighter before it was destroyed had been transmitted back to the mothership through a data link.
Meyers looked at the video footage and said after a while: "The other party didn't even warn, so he launched the missile directly." ”
"Where exactly are their missiles launched from? Our E-2D turned out to have found nothing. ”
"Tell Hawkeye to search from the place where the radar found two bright spots, there must be a missile-carrying aircraft in that place!" Meyers said decisively.
McCarthy shook his head and said, "I have searched it, but I haven't found it, the other party's stealth ability is very strong!" ”
"McCarthy, inform the McCaedy, withdraw immediately!"
"General, this is against the orders of the headquarters."
"I'll take care of everything!" Meyers glared at McCarthy with bloodshot eyes.
He coldly continued: "I can't watch the loss of two fighters just and watch my warships die again!" ”
McCarthy nodded, "I'm responsible for it." ”
Turn your head and pass on the order.
At this moment, the destroyer "McFord" on the sea is only about 15 kilometers ahead, and it is still 185 kilometers away from the absolute defense circle declared by Magical Technology.
"McCarthy, send a telegram to the headquarters, explain the situation, send back the video of the destroyed fighter plane, and tell the headquarters that our radar cannot detect the opponent's aircraft and cannot fight."
"Understand, you can't fight with an invisible opponent, and the opponent's air-to-air missiles reach Mach 5, obviously our fighters can't evade it with decoy bombs."
In fact, the two knew very well that not only did Hawkeye not detect each other's aircraft, but even all the battleship anti-air search radars of the entire formation did not detect each other.
If you can't see your opponent, you can't hit your opponent, but your opponent can attack your own side at will, and this kind of battle is not 100% lost.
It didn't take long for an order from headquarters.
"The fleet returns to the Diego Garcia base to rest and be ready for action!"
Meyers was relieved when he saw this order.
