Chapter 241: High-Tech Warfare

Listening to the military operations of the American troops that had been summarized, Major General James kept nodding.

Judging from the feedback from all sides, everything is normal now, and the desalination ship has not reacted much, or they have now messed up with themselves, maybe they haven't noticed anything unusual, right? This mission should be able to be completed very easily.

However, there has always been a shadow in James's heart, that is, no matter how they called the "Hamptons" nuclear submarine lurking in the Persian Gulf, they did not get a response from the other party.

The USS Hampton has been in radio silence for three days, leaving James a little worried about their situation.

But James thought about it, the "Hampton" nuclear submarine has a strong force guarantee, and it is not the kind of small conventionally powered submarine that can be slaughtered by anyone, they should have been delayed by something, not an accident, and they will definitely appear at a critical moment.

But what Rear Admiral James never expected was that the powerful "Hampton" nuclear submarine, which he thought should not be in trouble, was lying in the mud at the bottom of the Persian Gulf at the moment, and the soldiers inside had been wiped out, and they would never respond to the call of headquarters.

"Boss Huo, two "Global Hawk" unmanned reconnaissance planes of the US military are still reconnoitring us from a distance of 100 kilometers. ”

"Fire boss, our "Reiki Wave Radar" shows that two EA-18G "Growler" electronic warfare aircraft are flying from the south, and they are a hundred kilometers away from us. The other side has already fired two missiles at us, which are expected to hit us in two minutes, and it is likely that they were responsible for the electromagnetic interference we had been subjected to. ”

"Fire boss, a group of missiles launched by the US military was found two hundred kilometers away, the number of missiles is forty, and these missiles are expected to hit us in fifteen minutes. In addition, a large number of US combat planes, numbering 138, were discovered at a distance of 500 km, and they flew towards us from the north, south, and west, and these planes were supposed to come from the fighters and bombers deployed by the US military in the Gulf region. ”

Ah Huo calmly listened to this information and ordered: "Immediately use the "Aura Wave Radar" to lock on to the two missiles launched by the electronic warfare planes, and shoot them down with laser weapons when the two missiles are close to us 50 kilometers, and shoot down the two EA-18G "Growler" electronic warfare planes and the two "Global Hawk" unmanned reconnaissance planes at the same time. ”

As a result, the "Aura Fluctuation Radar" continued to launch Aura fluctuations into the sky, locking on the two anti-radiation missiles, two EA-18G "Growler" electronic warfare planes, and the two "Global Hawk" unmanned reconnaissance planes. This kind of aura fluctuation is abnormally secretive, and it is impossible for anyone to discover it at all, so the two electronic warfare planes and unmanned reconnaissance planes do not know that they have been locked by the laser weapons of the Star Group.

The two EA-18G "Growler" electronic warfare planes, two "Global Hawk" unmanned reconnaissance planes, and anti-radiation missiles have entered the range of 100 kilometers, which is already the observation range of the "starry sky" observer.

"Fire boss, the enemy's missiles are only fifty kilometers away from us."

Ah Huo immediately ordered: "Activate the laser weapons and destroy them." ”

So in a hole in the desalination ship of the Star Group, a red laser was immediately fired, and the red laser was just a flash, and it hit an anti-radiation missile that was flying fast in the sky, and the energy of this red laser was very high, it just slashed, and the anti-radiation missile was cut in half, and then exploded and burned in the air.

Then another red laser flew out of the hole, and in another flash, the remaining anti-radiation missile was also killed by the laser weapon.

"What's going on? How did the anti-radiation missiles we launched disappear? On the EA-18G "Growler" electronic warfare aircraft, a pilot asked in surprise.

The pilot of another electronic warfare plane alongside him was about to speak, when he suddenly noticed a flash of red light in front of his eyes, and the nose of the EA-18G "Growler" electronic warfare plane he was flying was suddenly gone, and before he could react to what had happened, the red light cut horizontally, so his body and the body of the remaining electronic warfare aircraft became two halves again. The EA-18G "Growler" electronic warfare aircraft was killed at once, and the pilot did not figure out until he died, what this red light was and why it had such a powerful lethality.

The pilot of the EA-18G "Growler" electronic warfare plane that spoke earlier suddenly saw the plane of his teammates in front of him inexplicably disintegrate into several large pieces, and he was startled, but before he could make any movements, a red light flew by, one horizontal and one vertical, and his plane was also broken into four large pieces, and he himself was decapitated by the laser without the slightest pain.

Then the desalination ship fired two red lasers again, destroying the two "Global Hawk" unmanned reconnaissance planes that were hovering on the edge of the war zone.

"What's going on, what about our EA-18G" Growler "electronic warfare aircraft? Major General James, who had been staring at the radar screen, asked questions, because he found that in just a moment, the electronic warfare aircraft disappeared from the radar screen, and the lights showing the status of the two planes turned gray.

"I don't know, it may be that they have entered the zone of electromagnetic interference and temporarily disappeared from our radar."

"And where did those two anti-radiation missiles of ours go?" General James asked.

"Well, maybe it's the same problem!"

And with the destruction of the "Global Hawk" unmanned reconnaissance aircraft, the image of the desalination ship displayed on the screen of the US command center also disappeared.

James was furious: "And what about our Global Hawk unmanned reconnaissance aircraft? Did they also enter the zone of electromagnetic interference? ”

"General, it's possible."

"Connect with them right away, and I'm going to see images of the scene." James shouted that after the way of the US military satellites peeping through space was blocked by the desalination ship using white clouds, the only way to see the image of the desalination ship was to rely on the "Global Hawk" unmanned reconnaissance plane, and now that they have been destroyed and the signal is interrupted, it is natural that the image ahead can no longer be seen.

Whether it was the radar soldiers of the US military and Major General James, although they did not find their planes and missiles on the radar, they did not suspect that their planes and missiles had been destroyed by people. Because in their minds, no one in this world can take out their own planes, not to mention that they are more than 50 kilometers away from the target, which is a natural reaction formed in their minds by the strength of the US military.

And on the desalination ship of the Star Group, there was a burst of cheers. The first shot of laser weapons killed two incoming anti-radiation missiles, two EA-18G "Growler" electronic warfare aircraft, and two "Global Hawk" unmanned reconnaissance aircraft.

In the image transmitted by the "starry sky" observer, it is very intuitive, only to see a flash of red light, the flying planes and missiles in the sky will be torn apart and exploded, which is as thrilling as the live broadcast, which makes the soldiers of the starry sky group who participated in the battle for the first time excited. They felt like they were in a dream, and in front of the weapons in their hands, the war machine of the powerful American army was like a toy in the hands of children, so vulnerable.

"Everyone be on guard, the missile group and fighter group of the US military are about to approach us, and we must not be taken advantage of by them." Ah Huo roared, cheering up the warriors.

Zhou Tengyun and Desheng sat on the side and watched, they were also excited, they didn't expect that now the Star Group was so strong that the US military could not take any advantage in front of him. But today they were just spectators, so they didn't make a noise to interfere with Ah Huo's command, because in this room, Ah Huo is the commander-in-chief, and his authority cannot be questioned by anyone, and everyone must obey his orders.

"Fire boss, the forty missiles fired by the enemy are now only one hundred and fifty kilometers away from us. These missiles began to change their cruising altitude and were flying towards us close to the ground, and they were on average less than a hundred meters above the ground. ”

"Oh, a missile that can stick into the ground and fly at an altitude of less than a hundred meters? Could it be that the US military's "Tomahawk" cruise missile is really insidious enough. But there are no mountains around us, and your low-altitude flights won't work. Ah Huo said.

"Fire boss, what are we going to do with these missiles?"

"Wait until they fly fifty kilometers away from us and kill them all with laser weapons." Huo commanded. He calculated, because of the earth's arc, even if there was no mountain range, 50 kilometers away, the laser launched from the desalination ship could not hit those ultra-low-flying "Tomahawk" cruise missiles, so he simply let them go within 50 kilometers and then kill them.

"There is still no news from our electronic warfare aircraft, anti-radiation missiles and "Global Hawk" unmanned reconnaissance aircraft? James asked, frowning. Because according to the time, those two anti-radiation missiles should have exploded a long time ago, but nothing was found on spy satellites in space. Although the spy can't see the desalination ship due to the white clouds, he can monitor some of the situation around the desalination ship.

"Well, General, they could have been shot down by the enemy."

“……”

After the 40 Tomahawk cruise missiles entered the 100-kilometer range of the desalination ship, they could already be seen on the "starry sky" observer. Ah Huo kept an eye on their flight and didn't give any orders.

"Fire boss, enemy missiles are already fifty kilometers away from us."

"Will our laser weapons now be able to hit those Tomahawk cruise missiles? Huo asked.

"It's ready to hit them now."

"Then let's kill them!" Huo said.

So from the eight holes in the desalination ship, eight red lasers flew out at once, and these eight red lasers destroyed the eight "Tomahawk" cruise missiles flying at low altitude in just one flash, and then in another flash, eight "Tomahawk" cruise missiles were missing in the sky.

These eight laser weapons all use high-grade Warcraft crystal nuclei, so they don't have to worry about energy support at all, they can carry out a large number of frequent launches in a short period of time without worrying about the lack of energy.

Eight laser weapons took out sixteen Tomahawk cruise missiles after two rounds of fire. Then these laser weapons fired three more rounds, and all the Tomahawk cruise missiles in the sky were emptied.

It took less than two minutes for the laser weapons on the desalination ship to destroy all of these Tomahawk cruise missile groups. On the "Steanis" aircraft carrier in the rear, these "Tomahawk" cruise missiles slowly disappeared from their radar screens one by one, as if these missiles had been eaten by someone one by one.

"General, our Tomahawk cruise missiles are all gone. ”

"It's all gone, what does that mean?" Major General James asked curiously.

"General, this means that our missiles are no longer available on our radars, they are all gone, just like the previous EA-18G "Growler" electronic warfare aircraft, "Global Hawk" unmanned reconnaissance aircraft and anti-radiation missiles. ”

James suddenly gasped, he suddenly remembered what Gates had warned him before, Gates said that there is a mysterious weapon on the desalination ship of the Star Group, which can intercept their missiles and planes, but the interception range of this mysterious weapon seems to be only twenty kilometers.

At that time, James did not take these words very seriously, knowing that with the powerful scientific and technological strength of the United States, it was impossible to say that the interceptor missile was 100 percent sure. Even if the mysterious weapon of this star group can intercept some missiles, it is impossible to intercept as many as 40 "Tomahawk" cruise missiles! So in his plan, two-thirds of these forty "Tomahawk" cruise missiles were sent to the Star Group for interception, and the remaining one-third would be able to win as long as they hit the target, but he didn't expect that now all the missiles have disappeared.

By this time, James had already come to his senses, and the forty "Tomahawk" cruise missiles, two anti-radiation missiles, two "Global Hawk" unmanned reconnaissance planes, and two EA-18G "Growler" electronic warfare planes that disappeared on the radar display screen could only be said to have been intercepted by the mysterious weapons of the Star Group.

And the possibility of mechanical failure of these weapons is not very large, because it is impossible for all weapons to have mechanical failure at the same time, then they are most likely to be destroyed by the mysterious weapons of the Star Group.

But didn't the previous intelligence say that the mysterious weapons of the Star Group can only intercept missiles within a range of 20 kilometers? You must know that the Global Hawk "unmanned reconnaissance aircraft at that time was a full 100 kilometers away from the desalination ship, could it be that the effective distance of this mysterious weapon of the Star Group is not 20 kilometers, but 100 kilometers?

And didn't he already implement an electromagnetic barrier on the Star Group? Even if the two EA-18G "Growler" electronic warfare planes were destroyed, the US spy satellites in space, like the electromagnetic interference vehicles in other places, have powerful electronic warfare weapons, and they are also carrying out an electromagnetic blockade around the desalination ship. So it is impossible to use the radar function on the desalination ship, so how exactly did they intercept their own Tomahawk cruise missiles and aircraft?

Major General James thought about it in his mind for a while, and he always felt that he couldn't figure it out, but this did not prevent him from issuing a combat order: "Order the AWACS aircraft of the 112th Early Warning Squadron of the Golden Eagle to move forward, contact our 146th Attack Squadron of the "Sapphire" and the 154th Attack Squadron of the "Black Knights", and let them stay as far away as possible from the desalination ships of the Star Group, preferably one hundred and fifty kilometers away. At the same time, the 147th assault squadron of the "Gold Diggers" was ordered to rise into the air and prepare for battle. In addition, the 138th Electronic Attack Squadron of the "Yellow Shirt" sent two electronic warfare planes again to intensify the electromagnetic suppression around the desalination ship of the Star Group. At the same time, four "Global Hawk" unmanned reconnaissance planes were released to reconnoiter the desalination ship. Our warships were ordered to launch another eighty Tomahawk cruise missiles. Mobilize military satellites, pay close attention to the real-time situation of the flights of our fighters and missiles, and report to us as soon as anything goes wrong. ”

At this time, the formations of fighters and bombers of the US military flying from various airfields in the bay had already reached a distance of 150 kilometers from the desalination ship of the Star Group. After receiving the latest orders from Command, they stopped moving forward, but simply circled and flew in the surrounding airspace.

But what did James not imagine was that the range of attack of laser weapons on the desalination ship was neither twenty or one hundred kilometers, but three hundred kilometers. Even if these planes stayed at a distance of 150 kilometers, they would not be able to escape the attack of laser weapons on the desalination ship. Because the figures of these planes have been displayed on the computer of the desalination ship, and they have been locked by the "Reiki Wave Radar".

The electromagnetic cannon used on the desalination ship before successfully diverted the attention and attention of the US military, making them think that the Star Group could only deal with targets within 20 kilometers, but they ignored the laser weapons that the Star Group had been hiding, so their current actions made a fatal mistake.

"Fire Boss, you have all locked on the opponent's fighter group and bomber group."

Ah Huo glanced at the highlights of the US military planes on the computer, and asked, "How far is the farthest launch distance of their missiles?" ”

"According to the analysis of the types of missiles that the other side can launch, they should launch missiles at a distance of 100 kilometers from us."

"Hehe, they are actually circling at a distance of one hundred and fifty kilometers now, have our laser weapons frightened them? But a distance of 150 kilometers is not safe! Ah Huo said with a smile.

These groups of combat aircraft did not know that the desalination ships were equipped with laser weapons with a range of up to 300 kilometers, and that at flying altitudes like theirs, they could be shot down as soon as the laser weapons on board were launched.

However, it is not that Ah Huo does not want to shoot down these US planes immediately, but that there are still some limitations in the practical application of laser weapons and electromagnetic guns.

Laser weapons and electromagnetic guns attack in a straight line, so because of the arc of the earth, they cannot attack low-flying aircraft and missiles from a long distance, so they can only attack when these planes and missiles fly into their own straight line range. Ah Huo is afraid that this weakness of his weapon will be discovered by the US military, and when the time comes, the US military will adopt the method of low-altitude surprise attack, and it is likely to break through the defense of his own ship.

Therefore, Ah Huo did not order a direct attack on the US aircraft group at a distance of 150 kilometers, he was fishing, and he wanted to destroy the strength of the US military as much as possible before the US military discovered the shortcomings of its weapons. As for those planes in the sky, as long as he wants, he can destroy them all in less than ten minutes.

And when the Star Group has its own air fortress and installs laser weapons and electromagnetic guns, there will be no more such worries. From the sky, you can attack wherever you want.

"Fire boss, the other side has launched another eighty cruise missiles, and these cruise missiles are expected to contact us in twenty minutes."

"Strengthen your vigilance, and when these missiles fly to our 50 kilometers away, destroy them all, and as for those planes in the sky, just lock them on with radar and leave them alone for the time being." Huo said.

"Command center, command center, this is "Sapphire" No. 1, how long will our squadron hover? The squadron leader of the 146th Attack Squadron of "Sapphire" was a little impatient and was ready to take the initiative to fight.

"What about the" Sapphire ", "Lancer" ? The command center asked.

Sapphire One glanced at the fifteen huge B-1B "Lancer" supersonic heavy stealth bombers behind him and replied: "The situation of the "Lancers" is very good. ”

The command center said: "Our "Tomahawk" cruise missiles have cut into the opponent's airspace at a distance of 80 kilometers, and the enemy's mysterious weapons will be suppressed by our missiles for the time being. ”

"Sapphire One understands." The squadron leader of the 146th assault squadron of the "Sapphire" turned off the communication with the rear and ordered: "Break in all and cover the" Lancers "at a distance of a hundred kilometers to launch a missile attack on the target." ”

"Captain, the target is just a company, can we use such a large formation, and be so careful?" One of the team members asked.

"As long as we get out of the horse, won't those rookies below be about to surrender. Wow, look at the group of "lancers" in the back, they have so many weapons on their bodies, I'm afraid that just one can kill the target, I really don't understand how the headquarters can send so many "lancers" out. ”

"The headquarters must have made such a big move this time, they must have a reason, it should be to kill the chicken to show the monkey, and want to deter those Middle Eastern countries that are ready to move us, and tell them that the Middle East is still the world of our US military." The captain calmly analyzed.

Behind these fighters are fifteen massive B-1B Lancer supersonic heavy stealth bombers, who will fire missiles at the desalination ship at a distance of a hundred kilometers. And at a low altitude fifty kilometers from the desalination ship in front of them, eighty Tomahawk cruise missiles were moving at full speed.
