(Sorry for the update delayed yesterday.) ）

Four Tomahawk cruise missiles with the breath of death flew in a neat queue towards the twin islands along the calm waters of the East China Sea, and the "Montpellier" nuclear submarine did not finish its work after launching the Tomahawk cruise missile, Colonel Michel on the one hand ordered the submarine to leave the launch area at the highest speed, and on the other hand, released a communication buoy, which, according to the pre-set procedure, did not immediately surface after launching the mother boat, but first stayed underwater for a period of time. Wait for the submarine to dive a certain safe distance before it slowly rises to the surface.

Even after surfacing to the surface, the antenna released by this communication buoy is also facing the underwater side, so as not to be discovered, and then through this communication buoy, the submarine can control the cruise missile thousands of miles away through the communication satellite in the sky, and change the target of attack at any time, and at the same time, the submarine can also communicate with the headquarters in real time.

However, in terms of concealment, communication efficiency, and service time, the US military's communication buoys are far from the "fish" communication system, and the US military's communication buoys are not only unable to support communication contacts of more than 1 millimeter, but can only last more than one hour in terms of support time, and beyond this time, the communication buoy will explode and sink to the bottom of the sea. However, this time is enough for Colonel Michel to control these 4 Tomahawk cruise missiles, which can attack any target within 1,000 kilometers at any time.

With the Tomahawk's attack circle error of up to 3 to 6 meters and a hit rate of more than 90 percent, as long as it is not intercepted in flight, four Tomahawk cruise missiles are enough to completely destroy the target, even at low speeds.

After more than 10 minutes of high-speed sailing, the "Montpellier" nuclear submarine had sailed several kilometers, and Colonel Michel immediately activated the communication system on the communication buoy, and soon the "Montpellier" nuclear submarine established a communication link with the Tomahawk cruise missiles launched through the communication buoy, and at this moment these high-speed Tomahawk cruise missiles had already entered within 300 kilometers of the target on the twin islands.

Colonel Michel stared nervously at the image of the trajectory of the Tomahawk cruise missile, everything is normal now, completely on the preset flight trajectory, if Michel does not change the target of the attack, after about 20 minutes, the twin islands will be hit by this terrifying mass killer, and even most of the land on the islands will disappear. However, if the command needs to change the combat target, Colonel Michel can enter a new attack target into the Tomahawk cruise missile control system at any time, and can control the cruise missile to hover over the target area for about 2 hours to find a new target.

Before the Tomahawk cruise missile reached the Twin Islands, a Global Hawk drone also quietly appeared in the air about 100 kilometers east of the Twin Islands, above this distance, the Global Hawk drone was enough to monitor the movements of objects more than 2 meters above the Twin Islands.

However, at this time, the sea-based Sentinel-II radar early warning system deployed along the coast of the People's Liberation Army near Twin Islands finally realized that something was wrong, and suddenly broke out a piercing siren, and at the same time, the Sentinel-II early warning radar belonging to the Southeast Theater instantly transmitted the early warning information through the wireless network and displayed it on the large curtain wall of the Skynet early warning system of the Southeast Theater Intelligence Center.

The Skynet early warning system, which concentrates information from airborne early warning aircraft, land-based radars, and sea-based radars under the jurisdiction of the theater, immediately displays this early warning information intuitively on a large curtain wall map. "Report, east longitude xxx, north latitude xxx, 4 US Tomahawk cruise missiles have been found to have launched an attack on our defense area!" Lieutenant Yu Shijie, who is in charge of the information processing of sea-based radar early warning, reported loudly.

Senior Colonel Lan Kaiyun, director of the Southeast Theater Intelligence Center, who had long been awakened by the sound of a sharp siren, stared at these incoming cruise missiles that suddenly appeared and did not panic, "lock on the incoming target, connect the theater air defense system, and prepare to guide the air defense fire to destroy the target." "Now almost every important military target is protected by ground-based anti-aircraft missile systems in accordance with its importance.

"Yes!" After Lieutenant Cai Zhiheng, the system operator on the side, skillfully entered a series of commands, Senior Colonel Lan Kaiyun pressed his finger against the fingerprint scanner in front of him and approved the operation.

"Report! Anti-aircraft missile positions No. 76 and anti-aircraft missile positions No. 77 are activated, ready to destroy the incoming targets! Cai Zhiheng reported that Lan Kaiyun looked at the large curtain wall to light up two anti-aircraft missile positions, which happened to be near the two important land field airfields in the attack range of the Tomahawk cruise missile, which are two Hongqi-16 medium and short-range anti-aircraft missile positions, which can effectively defend against missile attacks within 30 kilometers.

Lan Kaiyun once again checked the military targets of our army in the attack range of the Tomahawk missiles identified by the system analysis, and found that the most valuable military targets were the two field airfields and the two J-11C flight regiments deployed. Therefore, a hanging heart relaxed a little.

However, Lan Kaiyun did not know whether this was a wave of tentative attacks by the US military or a prelude to a large-scale attack by the US military, on the one hand, he ordered to closely monitor further developments, and on the other hand, reported to the Southeast Theater Command, and at the same time, this attack warning information was also transmitted to the General Staff immediately.

The intelligence analysts connected with the early warning information system of the Southeast Theater Intelligence Center and began to share information on the entire Skynet early warning system of the Southeast Theater, while the staff officers began to analyze the dynamics of the US military and judge whether the US military was an independent retaliatory attack or the beginning of a large-scale US offensive.

Since Song Jihong first struck in Africa to take out a squadron of the US military, Sino-US relations, which were originally tense because of the Diaoyutai air battle, have become even worse because of this incident, and in the face of changes in the US military, the General Staff Department has raised the level of combat readiness to the highest alert, and it has not been lifted until now.

At this time, the intelligence analysts had already summed up all the intelligence information at hand, from military satellite pictures to eyeliner reports inserted near US military bases in Japan and South Korea, and all signs proved that there was no sign of large-scale sorties by the US aircraft carrier fleet and air force units.

In other words, this attack is more like a retaliation by the US military for the incident in Africa, because the risk shows that there are only two J-11C flight regiments within the target range of the Tomahawk cruise missiles, and if the PLA air defense missile system cannot intercept these cruise missiles, I am afraid that one of the flight regiments will be reduced to a pile of scrap metal. Judging from the appearance, the US military's attack this time is in line with the principle of reciprocal retaliation.

It's just that for the PLA, this is an attack on Chinese territory, and if they really succeed, not only will the PLA lose face, but also give the PLA an extremely difficult choice, that is, whether to fight back and how to fight back?

In General Yang's heart, looking at the intelligence transmitted from the Southeast Theater and the conclusions of the intelligence analysis experts of the General Staff, he is now considering this serious problem, the US military adopts this kind of local retaliatory measures, so that the PLA in rapid development is indeed very uncomfortable, intellectually speaking, in a few years, the PLA will have a greater chance of victory, and when the Air Force's J-10D/J-11D and fourth-generation fighters and the Navy's new-generation destroyers and nuclear submarines are on scale, the PLA will not be as passive as it is now. You need to break your muscles and bones to be able to fight.

But is this US attack really just a simple retaliation? Chief Yang stared at the huge combat map curtain wall in the operation center, and his heart was full of questions, if the US military wanted to retaliate, it could take action after the African incident, how could it suddenly take action at this time?

If the Americans only attack one of the two field airfields, our Hongqi-16 medium- and short-range air defense system will basically have no problem in coping with an attack of this intensity, and the Americans will have no problem doing such a futile thing when they are crazy. Judging from the intelligence information fed back by our anti-submarine warning system, no clues have been found within 100 kilometers of the coastal waters, indicating that it is impossible for the US military to assemble a large number of submarines under the water in this sea area. Major General Zhu Shaoguang, who was in charge of intelligence analysis of the General Staff Headquarters, said with some bewilderment, "Could it be that the Americans dare to directly attack our non-military targets in the face of the world's condemnation?" ”

After listening to Zhu Shaoguang's words to himself, Chief Yang's heart jumped, if this is the case, there is really a city with a population of more than 100,000 in this area, but because it is a little far from military targets, a perfect air defense system has not yet been established, if it is attacked by these Tomahawk cruise missiles of the US military, it will really suffer heavy losses, but unless the Americans are really crazy, they are not afraid of the Chinese launching retaliatory attacks on the US mainland will do it so unscrupulously.

Now the PLA does not have the ability to launch attacks on the US mainland cities, if the Americans really do this, it will be a situation in which the PLA is burned, although China has stated that it will not take the lead in using nuclear weapons, but when a large number of people are killed and injured, who will be stupid enough to report these words seriously?

Chief Yang stared at the map, carefully looking at the military targets displayed on it, sure that there was indeed nothing special, and suddenly a somewhat unfamiliar place name flashed in his mind, as if it was within this attack range, and his face couldn't help but change color all of a sudden, "Is Twin Islands in this area?!" Chief Yang asked sharply.

Zhu Shaoguang's face changed greatly when he was asked by General Commander Yang, as the intelligence director of the General Staff Department, of course he knew very well about a place like Twin Islands, but this place is still only a civilian aerospace research base under construction, so it is not included in the military targets, let alone the deployment of missile air defense systems to protect it.

"Oops! The twin islands are within this attack range," Zhu Shaoguang replied in frustration without even asking. He knew that it was a place that had cost tens of billions of dollars to build, and if it was destroyed by the U.S. military, the losses would be great.

But now Mr. Yang is not concerned about this huge loss, but thinks of another possibility, "Is Duke on the Twin Islands now?" ”

Although Duke's whereabouts are highly classified, as the head of intelligence of the General Staff, Major General Zhu Shaoguang is precisely one of the few people in China who knows Duke's whereabouts at any time, and the other is of course Qin Tairan, who is responsible for Duke's security.

"Dr. Duke happens to be on the island, it's over, their real goal is to target Dr. Duke." Zhu Shaoguang replied with some despair. Compared to the tens of billions of dollars of the twin islands, Duke is a thousand times more important than it, more than ten thousand times! The U.S. military really didn't come well this time, and it was fatal with one blow!
