In modern warfare, due to the astonishing pace of development of means of communication and means of detection, the ability to detect the enemy almost determines the situation at the time of war. And once the war starts, if the first wave of strikes can completely destroy the enemy's living warheads, the rest of the battle will not need to be fought.

It can even be exaggerated to say that if you lose reconnaissance, you will lose the entire war.

This also very conspicuously demonstrates the strategic position of electromagnetic interference warfare and electronic information warfare in modern warfare.

At a distance of 80 nautical miles, carrier-based aircraft can be fully loaded, flexible and maneuverable, and can go into battle at will. At a distance of 200 nautical miles, carrier-based aircraft can only selectively carry air-to-ship missiles or air-to-air missiles that they need. If the maximum round-trip flight range is more than 1,000 nautical miles, then it is usually only possible to carry out specific bombing targets or precision strikes. This is determined by the air load of the fighter.

And the appearance of such a large number of fighters at the same time means that the enemy has made up his mind to completely annihilate our side in this air attack!

As a matter of fact, although Ying Hanhai and many middle- and high-ranking officers were in this cabin, quietly absorbing extremely important information about the future, when he first received a report from his correspondent on the enemy's situation, he had already secretly ordered the take-off of a tactical early warning plane to conduct all-round reconnaissance, as well as eight carrier-based planes, to maneuver and intercept the enemy. Not only that, but he also stepped up his order for the mothership's naval guns and other anti-aircraft defenses to enter a state of first-class combat readiness, and communicated with the air defense and anti-submarine destroyers Chengfeng and Breaking Waves, and the heavy cruisers Zhuhai and Zhuhai, and demanded increased reconnaissance efforts, sparing no expense in energy resources, probing the air and underwater domains, and closely screening for possible sneak attacks.

This is the best response that a temporary commander can make as a temporary commander when the captain disappears inexplicably.

However, even with such a thorough preparation, he did not expect that the enemy army was really quietly attacking, and he forced the attack regardless of the load of the carrier aircraft.

The current situation of sneak attacks is indeed related to the technological gap in electronic warfare.

After all, there is a certain generation gap between our side and the enemy in terms of electronic warfare technology, that is, electromagnetic interference, intelligence camouflage, and password interception.

But this technological gap is not absolute!

The decisive reason for this sneak attack is that only a few dozen minutes ago, our thinking was still in the era of peace!

And the enemy has long had a war mentality, even an apocalyptic mentality!

These are two completely different ways of thinking.

In times of peace, every shot will cause huge repercussions in international public opinion, which will have a great impact on economic development, people's public opinion, and the support rate of the general election. And times of war, and even the end times...... Just survive.

We realized this too late.

At this moment, Ying Hanhai suddenly remembered what happened to tens of thousands of Aztecs, the indigenous people of China and the United States, when they faced hundreds of Spanish conquistadors. It's a little similar to what we're in now. The Aztecs mistakenly believed that the Spaniards brought peace, but the Spaniards directly kidnapped the king, which led to the destruction of the entire race, and became a famous miracle in history that less won more...... No, it should be said that it is a famous laughing stock. Although the level of science and technology of the Spaniards was higher than that of the Aztecs, they would never have achieved such remarkable results if they had not taken advantage of the word "opportunity".

Now on the sea, there are not only huge and strange waves that are produced continuously. The fierceness of the naval and air battles suddenly became white-hot!

And our side, from the second we found out about the enemy's attack, began to organize a sequential counterattack!

Through the air defense systems of the four warships, which braved the wind and waves and overturned the rivers and seas, our side successfully intercepted more than 80 percent of the enemy's air-to-ship missiles. At the same time, the anti-missile systems on our mothership have all been activated, and the Type 1130 anti-aircraft guns have been activated at the same time, and bullets are pouring out like water droplets.

Because of this, under the enemy's first wave of super-saturation attacks, only a few missiles successfully hit us.

However, it is still not enough.

Although there is no actual case of aircraft carrier combat in modern warfare, it is generally believed that in aircraft carrier combat, the attacking side that breaks away from the mother ship will have a disadvantage: The aircraft carrier's attack means are absolutely main, and in the battle far away from the mother ship, in addition to the fact that the carrier-based aircraft cannot carry a sufficient amount of missiles and has a limited amount of fuel, which leads to a decline in the maneuverability of air combat, it cannot also be supported by the main ship of its own warship formation and other combat ships. Therefore, in operations between aircraft carrier formations over long distances, active attack is a disadvantage.

Unless there is an absolute generation difference between reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, it is certain that the enemy will be paralyzed in the first round of attacks, or there is a necessary reason to have to annihilate the enemy quickly. to order a long-range attack.

The reason for the enemy's attack in front of you may be both.

Inside the cabin, Peng Zhiye, commander of the carrier-based aircraft warhead, left immediately after the military salute.

The fighter is the best offensive and defensive weapon of the aircraft carrier, and what is most needed at this time is the combat unit in which it is located. He plans to take off in a plane and deal with the enemy. In fact, out of prudence, more than a dozen fighters had already taken off when they got the enemy's information.

However, Peng Zhiye soon returned again.

"The flight deck has been blown up."

Peng Zhiye's report was brief. However, as he spoke, his fists clenched, and his nails were already sinking deep into his palms, pricking out blood.

Ying Hanhai, who got the news, frowned even more.

This not only meant that all the fighters could not be lifted into the air, but it also meant that the planes that had already taken off could no longer land.

Or, this means that the planes that took off before may have been sacrificed.

This also means that we have completely entered an absolute disadvantage. Or even irreparable disadvantage.

It was a sudden battle.

It was a deeply unfair battle.

But for our side, the battle was already taking place at this time.

What's even more terrifying is that just now we just intercepted the first wave of enemy missile strikes. This wave of missile strikes has already caused substantial damage to our warships. And after this wave of missile strikes, there are countless enemy missile trails! Accelerated by the dive of enemy fighters, it rushes at breakneck speed.

The second wave of missile attacks is also coming!

Countless missile trails in the sky were speeding towards you again. The sound is not heard, because the missiles operate much faster than the speed of sound. However, the intensity of the second wave can be judged based on the intensity of the first wave of missiles exploding on the ship.

Obviously, much stronger than the tentative first wave of attack just now.

Far oversaturated.

Far more than the maximum number of missiles we can defend against.

When all this was observed from the optical reconnaissance mirror, the most comprehensive information scout on the aircraft carrier, Yun Lerong, closed his eyes and did not look again.

This second wave of missiles is coming, and our air defense equipment can only intercept a small part of them, which means that all five of our large warships will be sunk!

Don't look at it.

There are too many of them.

It can't be intercepted at all.

This result can be estimated very accurately from the explosive strength of the warhead explosives that were previously on the ship.

Thinking of this, a sadness rose in the investigator's heart, and he didn't even look at it.

However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!

In front of him, those radar-scanning monitors are suddenly back to work!

The radar display, which was originally full of errors, suddenly began to correctly display the number of enemy aircraft, as well as the number of missiles, and the number of our warships locked by the fire control radar. All of a sudden, a shrill alarm sounded again in the observation room!

The sound of the alarm was extremely harsh, but to the ears of the investigator Yun Lerong, it was the most beautiful music.
