Chapter 1: Fishing for the Moon in a Haystack
On the Chinese side, the anchorage of the East China Sea Fleet, location: classified
"Attention ships, this is the general flagship, the Shenyang. Before the needle hunting operation, the voyage was checked for the last time. "At night, the lights of the harbor are getting darker and darker. Seabirds also return to their nests after the queen.
"No. 103 understands, the whole ship, sail for inspection..."Under a big-brimmed hat of an ear of wheat, the young officer Lei Yu was looking at the state of the ship on the screen.
"Everything is normal ...... engine", "Sonar (radar) is all right......" "Everything is normal with weapons, ammunition is preloaded......"
When the situation was reported to the thunderstorm on the bridge from various positions, the thunderstorm walked out of the bridge, turned on the searchlight on the outer bridge, and fired a light into a large black shadow in the distance that also flashed the searchlight: "Ship 103, the sortie is ready to be completed." ”
And the light replied: "Heading 0327, speed 7 knots." ”
"Speed 7 knots, right hand rudder 45 degrees. Thunderstorm made a clear light and informed the whole ship.
"The moon fishing plan is unsealed, and the ships are moving forward in accordance with the specified positions. The light from the flagship said.
Lei Yu took out the yellow envelope in his pocket, opened it, and checked the contents with a flashlight.
"Ship No. 103, after arriving at the predetermined position, anchor in place, turn on the hydrographic combat auxiliary system, and be responsible for long-range strikes on the buoy area of 1031-1041 according to the situation. Radio silence, listening to ultra-short-wave 64250 channel USB, through which the electronic ship will be directed. ”
After reading the battle order, Lei Yu folded the battle order and put it in his pocket. At the same time, he picked up the intercom and said to the ship: "Comrades, the battle is about to begin, and our task is to provide fixed-point long-range fire strike support. Everyone is focused on doing their job well. After completing this mission and returning to the base, I will treat everyone to a big meal. "
After Lei Yu finished speaking, he looked at the current position of the locator, and continued: "The whole ship has entered a second-class combat state, turning rudder 1012 and sailing speed 25 knots, heading to the designated position. ”
In the moonlight, a frigate sailed out of the harbor and along the coastline to an island reef where the Big 6 could be seen with the naked eye, and then turned off its engines.
"Ship 103 began to go silent, and everything that could make a noise was turned off, except for the electronic system. Lei Yu said as he sat in the captain's seat.
Listening to the waves lapping against the ship and the gradually blurring sea outside Hyun's window, Thunderstorm unconsciously became nervous.
Headquarters***
"When the time comes, the Battle of the Moon begins. "A Chinese general announced the start of the operation. At the same time, this battle will also be the last battle against the Soul Fleet in a few years.
"Heroic spirits who have been sleeping for eternity, please return to sleep again......
Inside the ship No. 103***
"Start the hydrological monitoring software, focus on marking the area of the buoy No. 1031-1041, and monitor the height and location. After Lei Yu gave the order, he inserted a key into a keyhole in the console in front of him. "Fire insurance lifted, ship 103, combat status of the first class. ”
"Fire control confirms that the fire insurance is lifted and everything is normal. The Gunner's voice was transmitted to Thunderstorm through the intercom.
"Just wait for the big fish to take the bait. Lei Yu leaned on the captain's seat, staring at the photoelectric of the representative buoy and said.
Bohai Overseas***
In the hazy mist, two warships faintly scattered with red light were moving slowly, and there were various tadpole characters on the hull that shimmered red, indicating their identity and abilities.
"Zhenyuan, did you find out too? A man dressed in a Qing Dynasty 6-grade official uniform surrounded by red as the base color said.
"Well, I knew that I would have called Zhiyuan and Jingyuan to come together. Otherwise, so many enemy ships don't know how long they will fight. Another man in a Qing Dynasty 6-grade official uniform said.
They are the mental heart of these two ships. The reason why these mental cores appeared was because in the first sea battle, they discovered the difference between themselves and humans, although it is said that they have been engaged in completely asymmetrical battles, but the endless tactics of human beings have abused them to death. As a result, they finally began to upgrade themselves after capturing humans. And the Mind Core is the product of their upgrade.
The Dingyuan-class Dingyuan and Zhenyuan, originally two steam warships that didn't even have basic electronic systems, became sea overlords with terrifying combat power in the hands of the mental cores.
"The radar found the ship shadow 2, the distance was 69, and it was confirmed that it was Dingyuan, Zhenyuan. The radar crew of the Shenyang, the flagship of the Chinese side, reported as soon as they discovered the situation.
"The carrier-based aircraft took off, and the Shenyang entered the first class combat duty. Inform the fleet and get ready for battle!" Rear Admiral Yang Si said, getting up from the captain's seat.
Inside the ship No. 103***
"Captain, our surveillance area is 60 nautical miles away from the combat area, what are we fighting?" said the first mate Zhang Xi as he looked at the calm sea on the screen.
"I don't know, it must have something to do with the frontal battlefield. Lei Yu pondered for a while before speaking. As he spoke, he tapped to the chart next to the command stand.
"You said that in the previous wars, the submarine of the Soul Fleet has not been found. Really?" said Thunderstorm.
"How could there be, on the opposite side was a group of pre-World War I warships equipped with modern technology. Besides, I've never heard of submarines in the Soul Fleet. I think you're overly nervous. Zhang Xi said disapprovingly.
"Then, what about foreign aid?" Before Lei Yu finished speaking, the number showing the height of the horizontal plane jumped sharply next to the icon of a buoy on the screen. Immediately afterwards, it was back to normal.
"Captain, you crow's beak. Zhang Xi was also frightened by this sudden situation.
"Gun commander, the missiles are ready to warm up. There's a big fish coming......" Lei Yu was not surprised, and hurriedly ordered.
"Understood, the No. 1 bomb is well preheated. When the voice of the gun commander came from the intercom, Lei Yu looked at the data beating on the screen and silently counted the time in his heart.
"Target, 1041, Missile One, put!" Thunderstorm countdown was over, and he pressed the intercom. In less than a moment, a ** volume missile was sprayed out of the silo and soared.
Just 30 kilometers away from the thunderstorm ship 103, a Celestial Empire-made buoy was swept up by the waves that were lined up because a battleship passed by, and then fell. A flash of fire rushed down.
"Uh...... Is this being discovered?" a long-haired girl with the appearance of a girl sat on the outer bridge of the battleship, her feet dangling from the steel and swaying gently back and forth. The dark brown hair that is coiled like a lady, wearing a cheongsam with a blue and white background and a pretty face with disasters to the country and the people, are all pleasing to the eye. However, the blue light in the girl's eyes added a bit of charm to her.
"I'm not one of those antique-level uncles in the Soul Fleet......" Although the girl was very unconvinced, she did what humans couldn't do. Her snow-white arms were gently raised, and circles of blue light lit up around her.
"Eh, wasn't it fired from radar?no wonder there was no lock-on warning......," the girl found something, and was suddenly stunned.
Inside the ship No. 103***
"Passive radar is turned on to prevent it from being locked. Silo 1 is equipped with missiles No. 2 and No. 3, silo No. 2 is loaded with two armor-piercing warheads, and silo No. 3 is equipped with four conventional warheads. Lei Yu said, picking up the binoculars and looking at the projected impact point.
"One shot?" the girl raised her arm slightly, and a layer of blue light blocked the countless hexagonal force field shields between the missile and the girl.
Although the force field shield blocked this missile, the purpose of the missile instantly scared the girl stupid. The warhead of the ordinary ** burst open, but what burst out was a strong electromagnetic storm. Directly shrouded the girl and the ship who couldn't react.
Project 103***
"Confirm the hit, launch the whole bomb!" Lei Yu looked at the electromagnetic storm in the eruption, and immediately ordered.
Hearing the order of the thunderstorm, the gunners pressed the confirmation button for the missile launch. Eight missiles with long tails of flaming missiles erupted from the silos and soared into the sky.
Immediately after, 8 missiles under the night sky turned at a speed visible to the naked eye and then fired at the battleship.
In desperation, the panicked girl was hit by these 8 missiles and was a little helpless. The electronic equipment under the electromagnetic storm chose to strike at the same time, leaving the girl lying on the outer bridge weakly.
Compared with the girl's embarrassment, the thunderstorm is almost champagne to celebrate. "Send a green flare, full speed on both sides, stick it up, and load it all!" Lei Yu said as he pulled out a special cigarette and held it.
The engine of the 103 ship, which had been silent, began its own movements. From stationary to roaring like a beast, the engine gave thrust to the 103 ship. At full speed of 32 knots, the No. 103 ship immediately advanced at high speed towards the target.
"All reloaded!" the gun commander reported to Thunderstorm as soon as the reload was complete.
Looking at the elongating black shadow in the night, the thunderstorm lit a cigarette, and after seeing clearly the battleship in the distance showing its outline in the moonlight, he ordered: "All rounds are fired in turn, the guns are fired using manual optics, the right rudder 15, the port side torpedo salvo!"
While the shadow of the No. 103 ship pulled out a white arc on the sea, the flaming tails of missiles and the 125-millimeter rapid-fire shells on the bow of the ship gushed out in the night sky, and five torpedoes swam towards the black shadow in unison.
Communicating with Hearts***
"The electromagnetic storm has separated me from the Yong'an. Where the hell are you?" said the girl, who sat down in a guest seat in an ancient parlor with an antique teacup, and took a sip like a cow's drink.
The lord sat down, the 4th grade of the Qing Dynasty official uniform of the Celestial Empire, wearing the mental core of the antelope, looked at the girl who gradually disconnected and disappeared, and said in a deep voice to the mental cores of the other guests: "Have you also been attacked?" After the mental cores of the other guests exchanged heads and ears for a while, the mental core of one of the 6th grade official uniforms said: "Another attack by humans after the sea battle, it seems that the last time did not let them taste a lesson. If it weren't for the fact that the gods didn't allow it, they would have to be driven inland, instead of blockading a few oceans and a painless decisive battle. ”
"Pray far, set far, Jingyuan, Jingyuan. You are ready for a big battle immediately, Kaiyuan, Pinghai, Haiqi, a few of you go to the accident area of Yong'an, rescue Yong'an ......" After the 5-grade official uniform mental core on the main seat finished speaking, all the mental cores took the order one after another.
Yongan and 103***
After suffering the baptism of bullet rain No. 103, the Yong'an can no longer see its original appearance. The original 10-meter-high island-type front and rear bridges have been beaten to no more than 4 meters, the three twin-mounted main guns in the front two and the one in the back have disappeared, and thick black smoke is emitting from the hull with thousands of holes, and the waterline has been exposed due to the large reduction in the weight of the hull, resulting in the hole caused by the small-caliber torpedo being hit by the water, and fortunately there is no major flooding.
The silver nanomaterials that make up the battleship were scattered on the water around the Yong'an at this time. A landing attack group consisting of two small motorboats was released.
Led by Lei Yu himself, the attack team of eight marines soon boarded the battleship with the port number Yong'an.
Lei Yu, who boarded the Yong'an, looked back at the No. 103 ship, only to find that his ship was in front of this ship with the number of Yong'an, just like adults and elementary school students.
Although the Yong'an has been destroyed by Thunderstorm's No. 103, Thunderstorm still guessed the level of the Yong'an based on the layout of the battleship: battle cruiser!
