Chapter 825: Sleepless Night
(And at night!) )
Although it is still late at night in most parts of Asia, the emergency orders issued by the US military command to raise the highest alert state have woken up the US military's forward troops in various parts of Asia from their deep sleep, and tonight will be a sleepless night for the vast majority of US troops in Asia.
At the same time, although the US military does not yet have definite evidence that the PLA has attacked its military satellites, the US military has naturally placed the blame on the PLA for the attack and loss of contact with such a large area of military satellites, so the US military operational command center still issued an order to attack the Chinese military satellites. In the eyes of the US military, it has always been the first to strike first, but this time they have lost the lead in the space war, and they must use all means to recover this loss.
Although the U.S. military has not yet created a land-based electromagnetic anti-satellite weapon similar to the PLA, it does not mean that they are powerless against these objects in space, in fact, soon after the satellite was launched, the U.S. military began to develop weapons to attack satellites, as early as 1962, the U.S. military detonated a nuclear bomb with a yield of 1.4 million tons at an altitude of 400 kilometers over the Pacific Ocean, causing damage and failure of three communication satellites in the space area, and then causing a large-scale communication interruption. It was confirmed that the electromagnetic pulse of a nuclear explosion has a lethal effect on satellites, leading to the development of early anti-satellite weapons based on ballistic missiles carrying nuclear warheads.
Later, with the development of ballistic missiles, the US military developed a new type of air-launched anti-satellite missile, which can allow F-15 fighters to carry this missile to launch effective attacks on satellites.
Therefore, when the order was given, the 527th Outer Space Intruder Squadron of the US military immediately reacted, and at a local air base in the United States, two special Boeing 747s soared into the sky with a huge roar, and plunged into the blue sky. Its airborne laser cannon can destroy the target in just 3 to 5 seconds by emitting a chemical laser beam with a wavelength of 1.3 microns, and the effective range of this laser beam is as high as 600 kilometers.
At a certain base in Japan, two F-15Es of the US military were also ordered to take off, and each F-15E carried four of the latest air-launched anti-satellite missiles of the US military.
Although the US military has long been prepared for a counterattack in space, after the first military satellite lost contact, the PLA's satellite control center carried out an orbit change operation to evade its low-earth orbit military satellite, but the US military's global monitoring system has long been staring at the PLA's military satellites to death, so when these satellites pass over the United States, even if they change orbits to evade, they cannot escape the fate of being destroyed by the US military's airborne laser cannon. Just as the US military satellite could not escape being attacked by the Twin Islands beam energy electromagnetic launcher through Asia, for this light-speed weapon, even if the orbit change is implemented, it can quickly adjust and launch a new round of attacks.
However, the change of orbit has some effect on the attack of the US military's air-launched anti-satellite missiles, and this has enabled the PLA military satellites over Asia to temporarily get rid of the danger of being destroyed and provide the last support for the all-out counterattack that is about to begin.
North Korean Songlim Front Command. General Li Hu, commander-in-chief of the Sino-DPRK Joint Command, stayed awake all night, just staring at the terminal screen of the command center receiving operational orders from the General Staff Headquarters; at this moment, the 400,000 PLA and 300,000 Korean People's Army on the Korean battlefield were all ready for battle, and as soon as the General Staff gave an order, the PLA's air force and army would cross the 38th parallel like a tidal wave until the entire Korean Peninsula was completely submerged.
The waters of Scarborough Shoal in the South China Sea. Xue Chenguang looked up to the east, silent, at this moment the sky in the central part of the South China Sea is full of stars, the Milky Way hangs obliquely, and occasionally a meteor drags a long tail across the night sky, bringing some life to the silent night sky, if Xue Chenguang is a poet, there should be a beautiful poem coming out at this moment, but he is a general, his heart is burning like a fire, as if he has seen through the distance of more than 300 nautical miles in front of him, and the burning flames fall on the two aircraft carriers of the US military.
An air base on the island of Taiwan. Colonel Lin Zhenming, head of the 135th Flight Regiment of the Air Force, sat in the cockpit of the latest J-10D fighter of the Air Force, which was already fully armed, and was nervous and excited waiting for the arrival of the combat order.
In the early training, after switching from J-10C to J-10D, with better maneuverability and stealth effect, Colonel Lin Zhenming led the Raptors Flying Regiment to achieve 10-to-5 results against the J-10C Flying Regiment, and with the support of air-based and land-based radars, Colonel Lin Zhenming even had the confidence to compete with the US F-22 fighters. Therefore, when he received the combat order tonight, Colonel Lin Zhenming was very excited, although the superior did not explain who the target of this operation was, but Colonel Lin Zhenming did not care, now, after having the Raptors fighter, he no longer cares who the enemy is, he just wants to ask where the enemy is!
It's just that Colonel Lin Zhenming didn't expect that at this moment, there were more than 1,000 PLA pilots who had entered the battle preparations like him, and the battle that was about to start was the world's largest Armageddon since World War II!
Although the night is already very deep, two hours have passed since zero o'clock, and the US military satellites that have passed through the range of the Twin Islands beam energy electromagnetic transmitters have been completely destroyed, so that the US military satellite signals in the skies over Asia have begun to sparse, but everyone still does not have the slightest sleepiness, and they are all waiting for the last moment when the last three satellites of the US military will pass through the air again, and as long as these three satellites are destroyed, the US military satellites in low-earth orbit at this latitude will be swept away.
There is no doubt that this will be a brilliant victory in the history of space warfare, although the people in the command and control center of the Twin Islands do not yet know that the PLA military satellites have also lost a lot, and the first space war in human history has highlighted the extremely cruel side from the very beginning. However, these are not what the commanders of the twin islands have in mind, and what they are now staring at is the intelligence information of the last three low-orbit military satellites of the US military transmitted from the monitoring system, and once they are destroyed, today's combat mission will be a complete success.
"Chief, judging from the intelligence monitored by our satellite signal monitoring system, we have destroyed more than 90 percent of the US military low-earth orbit military satellites that have passed over Asia. The electromagnetic weapons of the Twin Islands bases are very powerful, and the attack on the low-earth orbit satellite has achieved a 100 percent success rate. Major General Zhu Shaoguang, head of the intelligence department of the General Staff, reported with some excitement.
This is extremely exciting news, and it means that the PLA has pulled out the eyes of the vast majority of the enemy hanging over it, and now the PLA can only grasp its actions through the US military's ground monitoring system.
