Chapter 63: A Difficult Mission
The distance between the enemy's Hangkong and our side is less than 300 nautical miles.
If you can intuitively look at it on the world map, it is almost two points next to each other.
And according to the full-fledged naval strength of the fleet on the side of large ships, its speed can reach 45 knots. In other words, it will take less than seven hours for enemy fire to pour on our battleships!
Not only that, but the battle between the Hangkong ships has a combat radius of 80 nautical miles. This distance of 80 nautical miles is based on the fact that carrier-based aircraft fully loaded with missiles can depart, fight, and return, and can maintain a sufficiently flexible distance in the air. Beyond this distance, the maneuverability of carrier-based aircraft will be greatly reduced, because there is a big difference between the ultimate flight distance of an airplane with an empty load and the flight distance of an airplane with a fully loaded missile, and in order for a carrier-based aircraft to have a force deterrent effect, it must carry missiles of sufficient yield.
Therefore, the combat radius of carrier-based aircraft usually does not exceed 160 nautical miles, with 80 nautical miles being the best.
The distance of 80 nautical miles has a greater advantage for one's carrier-based aircraft - the powerful firepower radius of the Hangkong ship itself is also 80 nautical miles, which can provide strong support for the air force in the rear.
In modern naval warfare, the first thing to fight is air supremacy.
Therefore, once the enemy's Hangkong warship formation enters within 80 nautical miles of us, it means that our side is extremely dangerous! Therefore, the preparation time left for us is shorter than 7 hours!
As for the comparison of forces between the two sides, there is also a fairly obvious gap between our side and the enemy.
There is a vivid metaphor in military circles about the combat effectiveness of the three major branches of the armed forces:
One year for the Army, ten years for the Air Force, and a hundred years for the Navy.
This sentence is somewhat exaggerated, but it also vividly describes the time and difficulty required for the three major branches of the armed forces to achieve acceptable combat effectiveness.
The army is relatively simple. Familiar with firearms, hard training, personal qualities, and hard work, you can form a fairly good combat effectiveness in a year.
The Air Force is much more difficult. The production cycle of fighter jets is very long, and a large productive country can only produce a few hundred fighter jets a year, and this is still under the condition of full operation. There are more professional pilots with airplanes, and even now in the market of various countries, good pilots are much more expensive than good planes. After all, airplanes can be mass-produced, and the training of personnel, complex operations, improvisational responses, and continuous trial-and-error processes alone can consume most of the pilot's energy. It takes at least three years to train a qualified pilot, and it takes even longer to be excellent and excellent. Take a look at the relevant Air Force training subjects and schedules.
And the navy, is the hardest. Large warships on the sea far exceed ordinary high-rise buildings in terms of size alone. Moreover, it must be cast in steel, not only to reasonably design the hull and cabin, bomb magazine, rest area, etc., as well as all aspects of the fire control system, but also to ensure practicality, survivability and redundancy, so that it cannot be sunk because of a single missile. Its technical content is particularly high, and it is impossible to make it if science and technology are not good. In short, the navy is a branch of the armed forces that requires people, money, and technology. Another example is the aircraft carrier, the blocking cable used to be a difficult point that plagued many countries, and the steel plate on the deck of the aircraft carrier is still not available in the vast majority of countries in the world, and the strength requirements of this deck are quite high. When a carrier-based aircraft weighing more than 10 tons landed, it smashed on the deck and forcibly pulled it with a blocking rope to stop the carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier. It is an extremely difficult problem to solve.
In terms of large ships, after a hundred years of hard work, it has continued to make progress and exploration since World War I and World War II, and until now there are only a dozen Hangzhou Kongmu ships. Its technical strength and the relationship between the arms have been run in very tacitly. And from the time we refitted this aircraft carrier to the actual delivery to the navy, it has only been five years, and the accumulation is still too small.
So it can be expected that in the event of a head-on contact, the use of conventional force will be used to engage the war. We are almost certainly at a disadvantage.
The situation is quite dire.
The arrival of the enemy's Hangkong Ship Formation was a problem left over from before Nie Xingzhong died.
How to fight back, no, it should be said that how to survive is what Xu Liang must consider now.
Nie Xing's behavior may not be correct, but his experiences also make people understand his decision.
Xu Liang didn't want to think about the complicated experiences in the past, what he was thinking about now was how to take down this aircraft carrier!
Perhaps, he could survive by exchanging the 13 pairs of precision parts that Alex left behind for a ticket that he had not yet fully figured out, but he would never want to do that!
He just wants to knock down this invading Hangkong ship formation!
Even go one step further and knock down the big ship!
Just for the future, so that our outstanding soldiers will not have to face this dilemma in the future!
At this moment, the noise outside the barn is getting louder and louder.
You don't have to think too much to know that this is the sergeants on the Hangkong Mu ship.
It has been a long time since Xu Liang piloted the plane to make a self-shading total landing, until after landing, it has been a long time since Nie Xing and the two entered the dark room in the cabin. They've exchanged so much and it's been a long time. No matter how hidden the cabin is, it will be enough for the sergeants on the Hangkong Am to find this place.
There was a clattering knock coming out of the secret door above.
Then there was a short pause.
And finally, "duang! There was a loud bang.
The secret door was smashed open by the butt of the gun.
The dark room is not large, dim, but it can barely be seen clearly. The dozen or so non-commissioned officers who came down first were surrounded by a rather heroic commander, and a star on his shoulder indicated his rank and his identity - Major General Ying Hanhai.
Major General Ying Hanhai could only barely keep his composure, and he could not hide the look of shock in his eyebrows.
In this cabin......
What kind of scene is this?
Two bloody corpses, a young man with a complicated complexion, and an extremely beautiful girl.
Most critically, there is also the fragmentation of a place.
Ying Hanhai's gaze first lingered on the two corpses for a long time, and he recognized the identities of these two people with a heavy face. Then he looked at the fragments again, his brow furrowed even tighter. With his status, although he is far from being able to hold this lockbox, because the damage is not so severe, he can still barely recognize it.
He guessed what the box was supposed to do.
In the end, naturally, his gaze finally fell on the two people who were still alive in the room.
His main target is naturally Xu Liang, who is standing in front and protecting the beautiful girl behind him.
Ying Hanhai didn't say a word.
But not a single one of the more than a dozen non-commissioned officers under him is not an elite!
He had already pointed the gun he was carrying at Xu Liang when he entered the door!
Aim with a brush, safe loading!
Now everyone can see the situation in the field, the supreme captain is dead, and it is suspected that the ultimate lockbox has been shattered. And those who are still alive naturally have the suspicion that they can't escape!
This is a dozen officers who are not as late as Nie Xing, they are officers who have been trained hard all year round! At the age of the strongest! Moreover, they have excellent combat qualities, and as soon as they entered, they occupied four directions of the cabin.
Even if Xu Liang's movements have already reached the speed of a ghost, there is no way to defeat these dozen people in different directions in an instant!
And he also has to protect Duanhan.
Ying Hanhai looked at him for a long time, and finally spoke.
"Before you die, I think you need to explain?"
"What the hell is going on here?"
"What the hell do you want to do?"
"And the most important question...... Who are you? ”
Inhanhai asked three questions, each of which was extremely difficult to answer.
However, Xu Liang's answer was very brief.
He didn't think long before he answered. Because of these answers, after setting that goal in his heart, it has already been determined!
"Who am I? I used to be a thief. Right now...... I'm going to be your captain. ”
"It's going to be now."
