Chapter 118: Luring and Annihilating the GDI Fleet {B}
The bloody battle in the air continued, and the GDI attack aircraft group had been completely defeated. However, their sacrifice succeeded in distracting the surface ships, allowing the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft that flew by secretly to have the opportunity to transmit back the important data they found.
When the encircled GDI fleet on the water completely locked on the enemy's specific position, a large-scale counterattack operation began. Soon, a large number of Harpoon-10 heavy hypersonic anti-ship missiles were launched from the vertical missile launch systems of destroyers and cruisers without stopping, and these attack speeds can reach more than Mach 10.
Neither the thousands of interceptor missiles fired by the attacked fleet nor the frenzied roar of the ship's close-range guns could change the determination of the Harpoon missiles to successfully destroy a large ship. In this battle, except for the four aircraft carriers equipped with large shield systems, which barely blocked the inexplicable attacks of these almost crazy GDI missiles with the energy they generated, the rest of the targeted combat ships were probably only waiting to be slaughtered!
This missile offensive by the GDI fleet once again claimed the lives of nearly 200 warships of all types, but compared with the achievements of the 155-mm electromagnetic railguns equipped on the destroyers of the opposing side of the Juvot, these results do not seem to be so brilliant and dazzling. When this new type of artillery hits 20 kilograms, about one meter long solid steel bullets at a muzzle velocity of more than 2,500 meters per second, a catastrophe caused by naval guns begins! In the face of such a ghost artillery, which has a fast rate of fire, high power and high accuracy of hitting, any traditional means of interception has become meaningless.
This kind of artillery shell, which uses strong kinetic energy as the damage mechanism, can easily penetrate the outer armor of large combat ships as easily as a kitchen knife to cut tofu, and cause irreparable structural damage to the interior of the battleship. Under the extremely dense shell attack like a meteor shower, dozens of poorly maneuverable Dreadnought-class missile cruisers became the best live targets for these physical steel core shells, which were quickly smashed into piles of honeycomb coal, and then quickly disintegrated and sank in a chain explosion caused by the smashed cruise missiles.
However, this attack ended completely with the destruction of GDI fighters in various places, and the reaction of the Divine Punishment fighters and a large number of shipborne anti-aircraft weapons made those slow-flying reconnaissance drones the best targets on the hunting ground. So a turkey hunt was staged in the vast sea! When the eyes in these skies were blinded, those originally accurate railguns became worse and worse, and the hit rate became more and more unreliable. In the end, after consuming more than 100,000 shells, it had to be hastily ended in order to continue the operation.
It is true that if this GDI fleet had been cooperated by spy satellites in space, and the drones sent had not been blown up into countless turkeys by missiles, perhaps these electromagnetic railguns with a range of more than 100 kilometers alone would have been enough to fight their way out. But there are not so many ifs in this world, and war is never a fair and reasonable behavior!
The battle on the water continues to rage, and the underwater melee has reached its final stage. Due to the huge gap in weapons and technology between the two sides, this underwater hunting battle has fallen into a great disadvantage for Li Feng from the very beginning. In the face of GDI's more than 30 Utah-class attack nuclear submarines built with bionic technology, the submarine force that is ambushed underwater by hundreds of times more than it can do anything.
The opponent's attack nuclear submarines can successfully lock onto our targets with passive sonar and carry out a frenzied slaughter with a large number of wire-guided torpedoes equipped with them. However, our active sonar is difficult to catch the figure of the enemy submarine in time, and it is often found that the enemy has already run out for several nautical miles by virtue of its own speed advantage. And even if you're lucky enough to lock on to your target, it's up to you to see if you're lucky enough to hit the torpedo you want to hit what you want. Subsequently, the two sides exchanged more than a dozen rounds of underwater shooting, but no one could see each other.
In the end, Li Feng simply didn't bother to play hide and seek with these enemies, and directly asked his submarines to guard the four directions to trap the opponent, and then sent thousands of anti-submarine patrol planes to launch a large number of intelligent torpedoes, accompanied by countless depth charges fired by hundreds of anti-submarine frigates, and began a large-scale coverage attack on the target sea area. Under this blow, regardless of the loss of ammunition, the GDI nuclear submarine force finally became a little unbearable. After all, no matter how good his performance is and how strong his concealment is, the people inside can withstand such a high-intensity toss! Even if the submarine is not destroyed in this fight, people will be driven crazy and exhausted to death.
As the encirclement continues to shrink, the enemy's submarine forces have less and less room to maneuver. And the long-term and high-intensity dodging also made the crew mentally and physically extremely consumed. However, the high level of mental tension and the fear of being able to turn into a sardine canned (crushed into a meatloaf) at any moment eventually caused some of these skilled crew members to lose control of their sanity completely. In order to be able to survive, there has been an armed seizure of power on almost every GDI nuclear submarine. Some of them were complete successes, and of course some of them were complete failures. The winners naturally surrendered, and the losers of the coup d'état were not without contribution, after all, the chaos they caused made anti-submarine work a little easier.
The chaos between the two sides continued to rage, and the distress signals sent by the encircled GDI fleet had not stopped since the attack began, but they did not know that the fatal messages they sent had already been harmlessly dealt with by Noah. Until these people were defeated and surrendered, they did not receive a single reply from headquarters.
At the same time, as the formulator of this battle plan, Li Feng is at the moment. After all, the time for this planned deception is very limited, and there are only 5 hours left before the end of the film from the beginning of the plan to now, and there are only less than 3 hours left for the two reinforcement fleets to arrive in Shanghai normally. In other words, if you can't deal with these surrounded GDI fleets within 2 hours, then I'm afraid that the plan I made to frame me will be completely exposed.
Under these circumstances, Li Feng had to use a large number of new warships that had just been transformed. As a result, the super-modified general-class battleships with naval guns as the main weapons were directly teleported to within 10 nautical miles of the GDI fleet, and then a bayonet close-range naval gun fire began here.
In the face of the extremely fast rate of fire, the 155mm electromagnetic railgun is quite accurate. The invading general battlefleet suffered considerable losses, although the damage to the main structure of the battleship using nanosteel armor was not fatal, but the various electronic facilities and fire control radars installed on its surface were not so lucky under the blow of the enemy's magnetic railgun.
However, the losses suffered by the GDI fleet were much more serious than the reimbursement of some equipment, and the ion incendiary bombs fired by the 400-mm Shirata energy cannon were not covered, and soon those destroyers who dared to shoot at the general's battleship realized how wrong their choice was. Under the fatal blow of the heavy energy cannon of the general-class battleship, no destroyer could resist the huge damage caused by an ion incendiary bomb, and within the range of the general, there were huge torches floating on the water everywhere! Even a nuclear-powered cruiser of more than 20,000 tons could only take a few more shots under such a rapid fire at such close range.
When these battleships were invincible in all directions, a large number of main warships and air force fighters who were blockading and encircling also took this opportunity to start launching a new round of all-out strikes against these GDI fleets in the urn! Under this frenzied offensive in which both near and far were started at the same time and all kinds of means of attack were available, the commanders of the two GDI fleets had to give up the combat order to completely abandon resistance under the general reason that the combat ships were completely lost, the more than 500,000 ground combat troops of the transport fleet were hanging by a thread, there was no response to the headquarters' request for help, and the general reason that breaking through the encirclement was death.
Although this powerful GDI fleet has achieved impressive results, taking out more than 1,300 combat ships of various types in the mysterious fleet surrounding it. But at this moment, the huge expeditionary fleet that originally had more than 300 combat ships, in addition to the four GDS Pat supercarriers that were empty above the deck, only three Juvot destroyers were left to continue the battle. Other warships were not so lucky, either sinking to the bottom of the sea and becoming a pile of artificial coral reefs, or they were badly damaged and about to join their predecessors. Although some of the ships did not suffer much damage, the problem was that the ammunition on the ships had been depleted in previous battles.
When the GDI Fleet is now the Supreme Fleet Commander, Vice Admiral Kent, the Seventh Fleet has been sent underwater with a dozen torpedoes to feed the turtles!} When Lieutenant General Erwin, commander of the reinforcements, gave up resistance and surrendered unconditionally, the melee, which lasted for nearly eight hours, finally came to an end. However, this large-scale decisive battle at sea suddenly reduced the originally huge fortress fleet by more than half of its combat strength {75 naval aviation composed of divine punishment fighters were killed and 12 missing}, and most of the remaining warships also needed to be overhauled and maintained. Luckily, these warships are all robot-controlled, and if they were replaced by human soldiers, God knows how many people would die!
At the same time, the many problems that leaked out of this war also made Li Feng realize how great the role of science and technology and the rational allocation of weapons played by the troops in a war, and from then on he profoundly realized that most of the weapons and equipment in the early 21 st century were no longer suitable for future combat operations.
Although the other side is only using products from the mid-21st century, from the battle screen, Li Feng can clearly see how huge the gap between the two sides' combat strength is. If it weren't for the final use of the artillery formation composed of the battleships of the super-modified general to deliver a fatal blow, I am afraid that it would not be easy to deal with the opponent within 2 hours.
The advantage of the whole battle is obviously in his hands, but the actual results are so miserable. Although the battlefield combatants bloodlessly captured more than 500,000 GDI ground troops and their combat equipment, and completely annihilated all GDI ocean-going warships in Asia. However, these two fleets are only a quarter of the strength of the GDI Navy, and it seems that the price paid for this is somewhat too great.
After solving the biggest problem in this plan, the rest of the story can continue according to the original script without any scruples. The scuffle in the city finally ended with a complete victory for NOD, and Colonel Jack, who was making a last-ditch fight in the command center, was finally subdued by several NOD soldiers who rushed in after he ran out of bullets from his pistol.
Followed by a high-ranking masked mysterious NOD commander who was still connected at the moment, he made a big deal of nonsense at the senior GDI officials, threatening to destroy South Korea, and Tu Ri drove GDI out of Asia completely. On the one hand, he issued a cold order to his subordinates to destroy the remnants of the enemy as soon as possible. However, our valiant Colonel Jack seized the opportunity of the other party's distraction, and suddenly struck over, cleanly knocked over the NOD guards who were guarding him, and quickly took out a rocket-booster grenade from his trouser pocket, and then pulled the bomb without hesitation, and died with the NOD soldiers who rushed to stop it. And the explosion also completely cut off the communication on the other side, leaving only a snowflake, telling the hero's former feats. After a while, the satellite images completely disappeared in front of everyone at the GDI headquarters after the invisible tower was erected by nod, and the entire Shanghai was completely reduced to nod's back garden.
Our newly inaugurated Consul, Raymond Boyle, was touched by Colonel Jack's fearless sacrifice, but the hero did not know that it would take only half an hour at most for the reinforcements to reach the port and turn the tide of the situation. And just as our Archon was about to take the opportunity to deliver an inspiring war speech, disaster befell GDI once again.
Because at this moment, in the real-time picture transmitted back by the spy satellite, everyone can clearly see that more than a dozen NOD nuclear bombs suddenly fell from the sky into the huge ship formation group of this fleet that is about to arrive in Shanghai to complete the reinforcement mission, and when a dozen fireballs that are brighter than the sun completely envelop the whole picture, everyone knows that this huge reinforcement fleet composed of hundreds of warships may be more than lucky. Subsequently, under the influence of the powerful electromagnetic pulse of the nuclear explosion, the picture disappeared completely.
The frenzied actions of the nod have completely angered the emotions of the high-ranking officials at the GDI headquarters, except for our General Granger, who is deeply suspicious of this incident, everyone else wants to carry out an all-out nuclear strike operation against the nod everywhere, and destroy this group of cult lunatics mentally and physically. However, GDI's pledge not to use nuclear weapons was not just a show.
For politicians, no matter what the reason, whoever touches this bottom line will not end well. How could our arrogant Raymond Boyle consul touch the sensitive G-spot of the GDI Security Council, which is very likely to remove him, for the sake of the lives of those hundreds of thousands of people! {Although this order was given by this guy himself} As a result, the proposal to use nuclear weapons could not be approved by this consul, but another decision to leave no prisoners seems to be unusually resolute in the approval of this rather reasonable suggestion by our consul!
A few months later, when the footage of the nuclear bombing fleet was confirmed by EVA to be a highly forged virtual hologram, it was no longer of any intelligence value. Because the truth of the facts was revealed shortly after the newly established Republic of China and GDI exchanged prisoners of war between the two sides last month. It's a pity that GDI and nod have fought many more wars around the world for this reason, so that the two sides who are already bitter and bitter can no longer reconcile. And this also made the struggle between the two sides continue until the day when Li Feng unified the world!
