517, "Air Raid!" It's an air raid! ”
The missiles launched from a high altitude by the Shocking Fighter were not concealed and were directly thrown down with a high trajectory.
The active guidance radar on the missile turned on, locking on the hulls of five warships, respectively.
As a result, a shrill siren soon sounded on the hull of the opposing side.
Seeing this, Mu Feng was happy again:
"There is even a radar alarm, and sure enough, it is more interesting to have a slightly higher technology, and it will be possible to warn directly by fire control radar in the future......"
The entire USN exploration fleet was immediately mobilized by the sound of sirens.
The shipwreck on the transport ship rushed out, and immediately opened the ship's suit and jumped to the sea, and the radio channel was in a mess:
"Radar Alert!"
"We're locked in!"
"What's going on?"
"What's going on!"
"Everyone is ready to fight!"
"But where is the enemy?"
"In heaven!"
"Air raids! It's an air raid! ”
"It's a missile!"
The shipwives at the scene reacted immediately, some had to look at the radar, and some had to look up at the sky.
The missiles were soon spotted, whistling from high in the sky with a surging momentum, and the speed of these missiles had clearly broken through the sound barrier.
The USN began to develop missiles very early, but the original intention of the design was not anti-ship, but air defense.
In the late stage of World War II, in order to resist the kamikaze attack of the Japanese Navy, the US military first designed two subsonic air defense rockets, the KAN-1 "Little John" and the KAY-1 "Skylark".
At first, it was radio command and control, and later it had semi-active radar guidance capabilities.
Then further development of specialized, ramjet-engined, long-range supersonic anti-aircraft missiles.
The final product was the RIM-8 Brass Knight, and the by-product was the RIM-2 Beagle.
Both of these missiles were in service, both of which were already in the fifties, and naturally did not catch up with World War II.
The Brass Knight, which is huge in size and weighs 3 tons, has anti-ship capabilities to a certain extent.
However, the Brass Knights are ship-to-air missiles, all of which were launched from warships, and the missiles that fell from a high altitude are now the first time they have seen them.
This is clearly not a rocket, which does not have a seeker and does not trigger a radar warning.
Fox and Ticonderoga were completely confused, and the area where they had previously fought with the Silver Fox fighter was at least 500 kilometers away from the mothership fleet.
The fact that the other party found the fleet and launched an attack so quickly surprised both of them.
I can't understand how the other party found out.
For modern warfare, in the fight against an evenly matched enemy, the aircraft carrier formation must always remain hidden, and whoever is exposed first will almost already lose.
Now that Fawkes and Ticonderoga had no time to think about why, the sky over the entire fleet was full of shrill sirens, and all they could do now was defend and dodge.
Ticonderoga accelerated the turn with all his might, trying to reduce the probability of the missile's hit by maneuvering at high speed.
At the same time, the radio continued to send messages to Liaoning, and at this time it was almost hoarse and shouted:
"I'm so sorry! It was our mistake to rush into the waters of your headquarters, and we sincerely apologize to you and ask you to forgive us for our recklessness!
"We have no ill will! There really is no malice! May we cease fire on this! ”
Both Fox and Ticonderoga knew very well that it was almost impossible to win a war on the doorstep of someone else's headquarters when there was no obvious difference in weapons between the two sides.
Since the other party has gathered so many fighters in a short period of time, it means that the opponent's base camp is near here, and it is impossible for this exploration fleet on his side to resist the other side.
The commander of the fleet, Otilia Essex, was taken aback by the sudden attack, but at this time there was no time to ask what was going on, and immediately shouted on the radio:
"Launch long-range anti-aircraft missiles! The whole fleet is in a state of air defense combat! ”
Several battleships and cruisers were installed on the Brass Knight, which was still an experimental version, and immediately launched into the air and rushed towards the incoming YJ-83 with an upgraded version of the anti-ship missile.
Fawkes, who was always in Ticonderoga's field of vision, bit his lip, clenched his fists, and watched intently at the missiles in the sky.
Anti-aircraft missiles are capable of attacking aircraft, but are they capable of attacking missiles at hypersonic speeds?
It stands to reason that it should be fine, but the hit rate may be reduced.
Seeing that the two sides were about to meet, the trajectory of the Eagle Strike 83 changed to the built-in version suddenly changed, and the missile body twisted, leaving an S-shaped curve in the air.
The Brass Knight had no chance to hit, and now he was thrown off directly.
The Eagle Strike 83 was changed to a built-in version and swooped down on the five warships below.
Exclamations rang out over the entire fleet.
“oh no!”
Although I know that it may be useless, I still have to do what I need to do.
Otilia Essex commanded loudly:
"Anti-aircraft artillery crew, fire with all your might!"
In fact, there is no need for an order anymore, and at the same time as the long-range anti-aircraft missiles are fired, the anti-aircraft guns of the entire fleet have already begun to roar.
The 127-mm flat-height dual-purpose gun, the twin 76-mm Bofors and the quadruple 40-mm Bofors, with close-fire fuse shells, spat out flames in a desperate manner.
A dense barrage was formed over the entire fleet.
But the barrage is a barrage after all, and it's not really airtight.
The sky area is huge, and the grid is quite large.
The YJ-83 is a modern supersonic anti-ship missile with a serpentine maneuver at the end.
They easily drilled through the net, closing in on the five locked warships.
The distance between the two sides is only a few hundred meters, and looking at the current situation, it is almost 100% likely to be hit.
Several locked warships have given up resistance.
Ticonderoga and Fox, knowing what this battle was all about, so at this last moment, they were still sending messages to Liaoning:
"We were wrong, we were really wrong, please! Is it good to cease fire! Adjust the direction of the missiles and do not attack our hulls. ”
North Carolina took a deep breath, this missile that looked like it weighed less than a ton, and the warhead should weigh less than an ordinary 1,000-pound aerial bomb.
You should be seriously injured at most, so be prepared to resist the injury.
But at this time, I was extremely aggrieved in my heart, and I didn't know where the enemy was, and if the enemy continued to launch this missile, I would be seriously injured sooner or later.
And the two Independence-class light mothers were almost desperate at this time.
Their hull is the hull of a Cleveland-class light cruiser, with a displacement of 10,000 tons, and as long as this missile hits, it will be crippled if it does not die.
The other Essex-class with its hull unfolded is Fleet Commander Otilia Essex.
I prayed in my heart that I shouldn't be able to sink a 30,000-ton aircraft carrier like myself in one shot.
Whatever the inexplicable attack came about, it will be necessary to survive the explosion and then investigate.
Take a deep breath and close your eyes, ready for the onslaught.
A distance of several hundred meters flashed away, and several missiles reached the top of five warships almost simultaneously.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Five huge sparks bloomed above the hulls of the five warships.
The deafening sound of the explosion and the violent shock wave drummed out, blowing the equipment and planes above the five warships to pieces.
Otilia Essex, who was about to resist the damage, let out a low sigh and opened her eyes suddenly.
The missile exploded just a few meters above its hull.
The shock wave shattered some of the equipment on his deck, but the hull was largely unharmed.
The other four shipwives were in the same situation, and there was an exclamation on the radio channel.
"What's going on?"
"I'm not hurt?"
"The missile exploded without hitting ......"
"Is the other side's missile malfunctioning?"
At the same time, an unfamiliar voice sounded in their communication channel:
"Friends of the USN Command Exploration Fleet, we have already learned your surprise, just now this is a return gift from our PLAN Command, a special welcome salute.
"Welcome to our headquarters, how do you feel now? Surprised? Not surprised? Unhappy? Impressed? Feel our enthusiasm? ”
