Chapter Seventy-Five: The Flames of War Fly to Antarctica
ParkNovember 11, 2015, today is a great holiday, just as people all over the world are celebrating this great holiday, the huge five rogue fleets have approached the area between Inderbidi and Wilcos, East Antarctic, which is rich in high-quality iron ore, and there are several large oil fields nearby, and the terrain near the coastline is flat, and the wind and waves are not conducive to the entry and exit of ships.
The coalition fleet halted its advance more than two hundred nautical miles from the coastline, and seven aircraft carriers in the fleet began to sail against the wind in preparation for the take-off of carrier-based aircraft, while dozens of large landing ships transporting the landing force headed toward the coast under the protection of a number of destroyers and frigates.
About ten nautical miles away from the coalition fleet, a U-boat was watching the coalition's every move through a periscope.
"Damn, the armies of these countries can confirm that they are coming at us, and immediately alert the base!" After observing for a while, the captain of the U-boat responsible for guarding the perimeter was sure that the base that had been hidden for many years had indeed been exposed, otherwise the fleets of the major powers would not have appeared here for no reason, and he also put on a decisive posture.
Adler, who was talking with Sacches at the Führer's mansion, was taken aback after receiving the news that the coalition fleet was approaching the landing force that had been dispatched, and threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground in a gaffe, don't look at what he said he was still powerful, but he knew very well in his heart that he did not have the strength to compete with the major powers now, although the weapons and equipment were superior, but the population was a big shortcoming, the population of hundreds of thousands of people could not even make a little wave in the global war, and now the military population in the secret base was only a few more than 30,000 people, The navy accounts for half at most, followed by the army with about 10,000 men, and the air force at least, so although there are many fighters, there are not enough pilots, and the ratio of civilians to soldiers is as high as 10 to 1.
"Führer Adler, it seems that your enemy has come to the door on his own initiative, we are old friends who have worked together for many years, if you need it, I can send my warships to help you defend against the enemy."
Adler's eyes lit up Saches's battleship, which he had seen, it was a real alien space battleship, more than five hundred meters long, not only powerful firepower but also energy shield, it can be said to be an invincible existence on the earth, if there is his help Adler is confident to repel the attacks of the major powers, so Adler looked at Saches eagerly and said: "I won't say thank you, and after this battle is over, I will find a way to collect a group of excellent women and send them to you." ”
"Hahaha...... Führer Adler, you are too polite, I will let my men go out now. ”
Saches took out the communicator from his bosom and gave a few commands, and after receiving his order, a spaceship moored at the base's naval base sailed out of the military port along with other Nazi naval warships that had been dispatched urgently.
At the same time, more than 200 ME262 and more than 60 Go-229 fighter-bombers also took off from the hidden underground airfield, loaded with ammunition, and rushed towards the coalition fleet with great momentum.
Of the seven aircraft carriers in the coalition fleet, four are Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers that have mastered the core technology of the United States, and the remaining three are Russia's Kuznetsov aircraft carrier, China's Liaolin and France's Charles de Gaulle nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, while Britain, the second empire on which the sun never sets, has not even a single aircraft carrier.
From these seven aircraft carriers, one fighter plane after another flew from above, and formed a huge group of more than 400 fighters of various types in the air formation, the main force is the US imperialist F/A-18E/F and a small number of F-35C, followed by the Russian SU-33 and the Chinese sibling J-15, and the smallest number is the French sea-based version of the Rafale fighter and the super military flag attack aircraft, and the black pressure is the largest air operation of mankind since World War II.
Several E2 Hawkeye AWACS aircraft have spotted the remnants of the Nazi fleet taking off from the secret base and are guiding their own fighters to attack.
"This is Hawkeye 03 Call Leader, the enemy fleet is 80 at a distance, 4300 at a height, and 1.2 at a speed, please be prepared when you are about to enter the attack range."
"This is the leader, the leader understands, calls all the machines, locks on the target and is ready to fire at any time."
Under the command of the commander of the formation, all the fighters of the coalition forces firmly locked on to the Nazi aircraft group 80 kilometers away with the help of AWACS.
"Free fire, repeat, free fire!"
At the sound of an order, more than 500 warplanes simultaneously fired a medium-range air-to-air missile, and the scene was very spectacular countless times more spectacular than in the movie.
Because the Allied forces had twice as many fighters as the Nazi Legion, almost every two missiles locked on a Nazi Legion fighter, and the radar operators on several AWACS aircraft believed that this wave of attacks alone could wipe out the Nazi Legion.
It's a pity that the ideal is very plump and the reality is very skinny, the radar operators stared at the monitor in front of them, although there were dense explosion echoes on the display, but the fighters of the Nazi Legion did not decrease significantly on the radar, an operator wiped his eyes in disbelief, and after confirming that he was not hallucinating, he quickly picked up the intercom and shouted: "The first wave of attacks is ineffective, repeat, the first wave of attacks is ineffective!" ”
"Shet, each plane will immediately start the second wave of attacks!"
"Whoosh ......!"
The second wave of more than 500 missiles was fired, but at the same time, the fighters of the Nazi Legion also fired their own first wave of missiles, two for each fighter, locking all the fighters on the side of the coalition forces, and all the fighters of the coalition forces almost simultaneously issued a piercing warning sound of being locked, and the pilot pressed the launch button of the jamming bomb without thinking about it, and the airspace where the coalition fighters were located suddenly became a blind spot on the radar, and the missiles fired by those Nazi legion fighters naturally fell short.
After the two rounds of missiles fired at each other, the fighters of the two sides quickly approached within 20 kilometers, here is the world of infrared short-range air-to-air missiles, the two sides fired a round of missiles at each other again, but the coalition forces relied on advanced jamming means to make the missiles of the Nazi legion fighters basically missed, only a few fighters were unlucky to be shot down, and the same is true for the Nazi side, although the electronic equipment and radar are much worse than the coalition fighters, but relying on solid electromagnetic alloy armor, Each fighter can resist three or four air-to-air missiles without being shot down, and the high attack and high defense have taken advantage of it for a while.
After the two exchanges of fire, the planes of the two sides had already entered a visual range of 5 kilometers, and the two sides began to break up large formations, mainly in two-plane formations, to carry out a dog-fighting air battle within the visual sight, and for a time the white smoke of the short-range combat missiles and the flashing machine cannon shells were intertwined, forming a spectacular and bloody picture.
While the air battle was in full swing, the Allied fleet received an alert from AWACS aircraft, and the fleet of the Nazi Legion had sailed away from the hidden military port and opened up a position on the sea.
Four-star Admiral Douglas White of the United States Navy, commander of the coalition fleet, looked at the Nazi fleet on the radar with a heavy heart, and the combat coalition forces in the air have fallen into a stalemate and cannot distinguish the winner in a short period of time, and even if it is a victory, it is very likely to be a disastrous victory, and it will not be able to guarantee air supremacy and complete the ground support mission at that time, which will have a great impact on the ground battle in the future.
"General, the enemy fleet is in range." The adjutant on the side reminded in a low voice.
Admiral White focused on command for the time being, and thought about the future problems later, and now he should hit the energy first to defeat the current place.
"Order the fleet to carry out a saturation attack, the enemy's fleet defense should be very strong, and all the missiles will be shot out in one go!"
"Yes!"
"Whoosh...... Whoosh ......! ”
At present, the range of anti-ship missiles equipped with warships is generally about 200 kilometers, the speed exceeds twice the speed of sound, the warhead charge is more powerful, the hit rate is high, the missile salvo of more than 200 warships of the coalition forces is more spectacular and shocking than the previous fighter missile salvo, and hundreds of anti-ship missiles cross the sea and go straight to the Nazi fleet under the guidance of early warning aircraft.
Not to be outdone, the Nazi fleet and above lined up with its main battleships above the heavy cruisers lined up in the old battle line and raised their guns high.
"Boom, boom, boom......!"
A huge cannon fire resounded through the heavens and the earth, with one H44 battleship as the flagship, two Bismarck-class battleships, two Scharnhorst-class battlecruisers, two German-class pocket battleships, and four Hipper-class heavy cruisers in a salvo, which was much more powerful than the missile salvo on the side of the coalition forces.
Because all of them are electromagnetic guns, the maximum effective range of the main guns of these warships is up to 200 kilometers and the anti-ship missiles of the coalition forces are about the same, but the hit rate can be imagined, but the speed of the ship's guns is much faster than the missile loading, and the Nazi fleet continued to fire at a rate of two rounds per minute, and soon fired a large number of shells.
"Enemy shelling!"
The Allied Army's advanced radar system detected the Nazi fleet when it was just launched, and the C4I command system immediately marked the flight trajectory of the incoming artillery shells on the warships of various countries, and the warships of various countries immediately began to evade maneuvers so that the shelling of the Nazi fleet basically failed, but there were still several warships that did not successfully avoid being hit by the shells.
Even if the powerful cannonball is fired by a heavy cruiser with a smaller caliber, its power can also KO a modern destroyer or frigate with one blow, the armor of a modern battleship is almost equal to no armor compared with the armor of a battleship during World War II, and several battleships that were hit exploded inside the hull after the shell penetrated the paper-thin armor, and the violent explosion blew up the keel and the nearby compartment, and the crew of the ship was blown into meat foam almost instantly, and hundreds of tons of cold seawater quickly poured into the cabin, The battleships that were hit sank to the bottom of the sea in two minutes, the worst was the frigate hit by the shells fired by a Bismarck-class battleship, this Type 45 destroyer belonging to the United Kingdom, was hit by a one-and-a-half-ton shell and was detonated in the ammunition compartment where the missiles were stored, the entire battleship was blown to pieces, and no sailor survived, when Chen Yu learned that the destroyer's name was Hood, his expression immediately became very exciting.
