Chapter 282: Blossoming in the Tree

The chief of staff said: "Commander, once the Dream Cruise is deep in the fleet group, we cannot strike it within visual range with a two-pronged attack, because that is likely to cause accidental damage."

The deputy commander continued: "Yes, through data analysis, the flexibility and maneuverability of the Dream Cruise ship are unmatched in large warships, and if it were not for this, it would not have caused the two brother fleets of Oceania and Africa to be chaotic and collide with each other. ”

"It's just a cruise ship, how can you say it's a battleship?" The commander stared at his deputy in displeasure.

The deputy commander seemed to have an upright temperament: "Commander, it is said that it is a cruise ship, but in fact, its combat power is not weaker than a large fleet. They are able to destroy twelve highly maneuverable pirate speedboats in under five seconds, and every shot counts. Its combat power can be seen. ”

The chief of staff continued: "Commander, this is indeed a problem that should not be underestimated, if it is according to the speed and precision of the fantasy cruise ship to attack the pirate speedboats, more than a dozen of our warships, once they counterattack, I am afraid it will be an instant." ”

"Chief of Staff, you are too alarmist, don't grow the morale of others and destroy your own prestige. How can pirate speedboats compare with our large warships. The pirates only had light weapons, and they were only passively beaten at a distance of five nautical miles, and there was no possibility of counterattack. We, on the other hand, have a surprise first-strike firepower. Hehe, once you do it, even if the Dream Cruise is a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier, I am afraid that it will not be able to parry. "The commander is confident.

The chief of staff and the deputy commander glanced at each other, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts: The commander despises the combat power of the dream cruise ship so much, I am afraid that he will suffer a great disaster.

He took advantage of the commander's time to look down at the charts, gave the deputy commander a look, and reminded him to be ready to deal with it.

At this moment, the carrier-based aircraft that went out to reconnoiter reported one after another: "I can't find the cruise ship, I can't find the dream cruise ship..."

The high-power active phased array radar on the giant ship is at full power, and how many times has it been repeatedly scanned, and it is impossible to see where the dream cruise ship is?

"According to the normal way of thinking, the Dream Cruise Ship has shown its strength in the Oceania Fleet and the African Fleet Group, and has caused such a big mess, don't you dare to appear with us openly for fear of our retaliation?" The commander wondered.

The chief of staff said: "According to the data analysis from the base camp, the base camp has only found it twice since the Dream Cruise ship left Hong Kong, and one time was the footage captured by the reconnaissance satellite when they were exterminating pirates at night. The other thing is when it comes to resupply in Wellington. ”

"Wait, just now you said that when they were exterminating pirates at night, our satellites discovered the Dream Cruise?" The commander asked.

"That's right, that night, the high-energy laser beam and electromagnetic kinetic energy projectile launched by the cruise ship were very shiny."

"Hahaha, there's finally a way," the commander smirked.

The two deputies looked at him inexplicably.

"The loophole of the fantasy cruise ship is when it is counterattacking, the flashes of high-energy laser beams and electromagnetic kinetic energy projectiles can seize this opportunity to use infrared guided munitions, the battleship strikes from the water, and the carrier-based aircraft strikes from the air, forming a saturated salvo, which can make him worry about the head and tail. In this way, our odds are still very good. The commander said excitedly.

"It's certainly a good idea, and if we take the slightest chance, we could sink the Dream Cruise." The chief of staff hurriedly agreed.

The deputy commander and chief of staff did not have much hope for this battle, and they were ready to slip away at any time. Seeing that the chief of staff said that, he also said: "I'm afraid this is the only way to restrain the Dream Cruise." We have eighteen warships, and one salvo is eighteen infrared-guided munitions. There are eighty carrier-based aircraft, and even if one-third of the carrier-based aircraft seize that momentary opportunity, there will be nearly thirty infrared-guided munitions. Hahaha, even if it is an octopus, it can't cope with such a cluster hit. ”

The commander nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "If the dream cruise ship dares to come, this sea area is the place where he is buried." Immediately order the ships and carrier-based aircraft to prepare infrared guided munitions, and as soon as they counterattack, they immediately lock on to a salvo. Hey, hey, I don't believe it, and I can't subdue a civilian cruise ship? ”

As soon as his words fell, suddenly the alarm sounded, and an announcement came from the system: "I have discovered that the Dream Cruise has broken into our fleet group." ”

At the same time, the huge sea-blue capsule shell of the Dream Cruise appeared in the visual distance of the large screen.

But in the choppy ocean, the color of the Dream Cruise is exactly the same as the ocean background.

While the three commanders were shocked, the commander couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder radar and reconnaissance satellites can't find this dream cruise ship, it's strange that it can be found with its mellow shape and the same color as the sea!" He waved his hand and urged, "Order all ships and carrier-based aircraft to prepare infrared-guided munitions." As soon as the Dream Cruise comes within effective firing range of the anti-aircraft guns, it opens fire. ”

On the dream cruise, Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang, Shui Jingxin and Ke Fei'er sat on the fixed swivel chairs in the cruise ship's central control room, nervously looking at the large screen of the intelligent defense system.

The Dream Cruises Intelligent Defense System has been prepared for emergencies as planned.

In order to prevent the fleet in Europe from taking advantage of the advantages of close defense artillery, the dream cruise ship at this moment proudly appeared in the fleet group under the precise control of terahertz radar and intelligent cruise system.

"The report shows that both the Dark Side fleet group and the carrier-based aircraft have turned on the infrared guidance mode, which is clearly a preparation for a counterattack with a high-energy laser beam and an electromagnetic kinetic projectile. Complete. ”

"Intelligent defense system, a large number of dark side ships and carrier-based aircraft, and a salvo with nearly a hundred infrared guided munitions, can we handle it?" Ou Zhou asked.

The intelligent defense system replied: "Not to mention their nearly 100 infrared-guided munitions, even 600 salvos, it is not a problem." Complete. ”

"Very good, intelligent defense system, the fleet in Europe dares to open fire, and must fight back with all its might, and strive to annihilate them completely. Complete. ”

"Report, will you sink all the warships, or will you cripple their combat power?"

"You just need to paralyze their combat power, and there is no need to cause too much damage to personnel. Complete. ”

"The order was received. Complete. ”

On the huge command ship of the European fleet, the three commanders watched the Dream Cruise ship cruise ship cruise between the warships at a speed much higher than the fleet group, but it did not enter the effective firing range of the close defense guns.

The commander was a little anxious: "This can't be done, with the speed of the Dream Cruise, it will soon be able to pass through our defense area." Order the nearest ships to quickly approach and open fire to induce the other side to counterattack. ”

The chief of staff immediately ordered the two nearest warships to flank and open fire at the right time.

However, the speed of the battleship was really not complimentary, and it was clear that the Dream Cruise ship was heading towards him, but before it was within range, the Dream Cruise ship was like a slippery loach, and it would soon slide out of their shooting range.

"Measure in advance, order the ships in front, block their only way, and open fire as soon as they are within the effective firing range of the close defense guns." The commander hurriedly adjusted his strategy.

However, the deployment of personnel here is not as accurate as the intelligent defense system and cruise system on the cruise ship!

In the process from the issuance of orders to the execution of orders by the fleet stationed in Europe, the Dream Cruise has already broken away from the interception point of the other party with its high-speed and developed intelligent cruise system.

As soon as the commander saw that the situation was wrong, he immediately revised the plan: "If the nearest ship is concerned, even if the Dream Cruise ship is not within the effective firing range, the close defense artillery will immediately open fire to lure them into counterattack." ”

As a result, two warships twenty kilometers away immediately launched a strike at the Dream Cruise, and tens of thousands of close-in shells fired two spectacular barrages every minute.

Good guys, 10,000 rounds a minute, that's not a joke, a shuttle cannonball can cut a hundred-millimeter-thick high-strength steel plate in two.

Almost at the same time as the close-in defense artillery fired, the closers on the fore and aft decks of the Dream Cruise ship opened instantly, and the high-energy laser beam and electromagnetic kinetic energy projectile were fired at the same time, hitting the command system of the two warships at a speed much higher than that of the close-in defense shells.

The command system is the brain of the battleship, and once the brain is broken, the huge battleship becomes the ears and ornaments of the deaf.

On the command ship, the three commanders looked at the fleeting flash of the dream cruise ship in horror, and the close defense gun battleship that took the lead in firing was instantly dumbfounded, and then lost contact.

And at the moment when the Dream Cruise ship counterattacked, the warships that had been premeditated for a long time gave an order, and fired a salvo of sixteen infrared guided munitions.

Almost at the same time, at least thirty carrier-based aircraft cruising in the air caught the flash, and they quickly pressed the launch button.

On the giant ship of fleet command, the three commanders suddenly saw the intelligent defense system on the dream cruise ship, which fired high-energy laser beams and electromagnetic kinetic energy projectiles at an incredibly fast speed.

Some of the infrared-guided munitions launched by the ships were destroyed the moment the launcher was ejected, some were destroyed just after ignition, and some were shot down at the moment when they were in the turning acceleration period after completing the ignition.

The same is true for the infrared-guided munitions launched by carrier-based aircraft, and the intelligent defense system of the Dream Cruise ship accurately calculates the sequence, and the laser defense system and the electromagnetic defense system are launched in unison, and the two destroy them one by one with a speed advantage much higher than that of the missile.

Every flash on the Dream Cruise means that an infrared-guided munition is destroyed, and there is no second.

The three commanders watched in shock as the first salvo was completely intercepted, nearly fifty infrared-guided munitions, and the Dream Cruise ship was destroyed in less than five seconds.

This is not counting, after the infrared guided munition was completely destroyed, the high-energy laser beam and electromagnetic kinetic energy projectile on the Dream Cruise ship did not stop, but launched a real counterattack.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the sixteen battleships were destroyed by the Dream Cruise ship before the second infrared-guided munition ejected from the launch canister.

And what was destroyed was followed by the ship's close defense guns. This further eliminates the possibility of manual operation.

Immediately after, the battleships lost contact one after another.

The nightmare had just begun, and the carrier-based aircraft in the air followed this gap, and successively launched a second infrared guided munition at the Dream Cruise ship.

Those munitions, which could travel up to half the distance, were destroyed by an oncoming high-energy laser beam or electromagnetic-kinetic projectile.

After intercepting the infrared-guided munitions launched by the carrier-based aircraft, the Dream Cruise began to kill the carrier-based aircraft, but after each flash, a carrier-based aircraft fell like a big bird with broken wings.

It is clearly different from the scene where the explosion is scattered after being hit by ammunition.

The three commanders on the command ship watched the carrier-based planes fall one after another like hailstones, their eyes were bloodshot, their hearts were like knives, and a sense of impending disaster was coming from all directions, but they could not do anything about it.

Almost all of the fleet's carrier-based planes were dispatched, and not a single carrier-based aircraft within 300 kilometers of airspace escaped a devastating blow.

And this process only lasted three minutes.

But it was as if the three commanders had spent three hours. But these heart-rending three minutes made them unforgettable like a nightmare.

The Dream Cruise Ship won a great victory, but instead of leaving, it approached the command giant ship, and the laser defense system and the electromagnetic kinetic defense system were pointed at them in unison.

The smoke cleared, and the naval battle returned to calm. As if nothing had happened?

But the more this silence was, the more terrifying it was for the three commanders, like a hundred ants devouring bodies, trickling down every capillary on their bodies, and cold sweat was dripping, so that every hair was trembling and swaying.

The six eyes of the three people, like dead fish, showed a desperate light.

The commander closed his eyes, not daring to see the flash of death. In his heart, he had silently said "Amen, Lord," "Come and save your afflicted child!"

But where is his Lord, and why not come to the rescue of these godly believers on the verge of despair?

The Chief of Staff and the Deputy Commander stared in horror at the two defenses on the Dream Cruise, and they clearly felt that the blood in their bodies seemed to stop flowing.

But the heart was pounding violently. It is estimated that if the mouth is opened wider, the heart may pop out of the throat.

The flash of death finally appeared, and the three commanders on the giant ship closed their eyes in despair.

However, only a not-so-loud impact was heard in the ear chakra, and at the same time, a pungent gas of metal and chemical erosion was smelled in the nose.

They count in their hearts to see if their hearts will stop beating in the first few seconds.

One, two, three......

After counting until fifty times, I heard someone exclaim, "Hey, we're still alive!" ”

Then someone exclaimed, "Look, the dream cruise ship is gone." ”

Only then did the three commanders wipe the sweat from their eyelids, open their eyes and look out as much as they could, only to see the back of the Dream Cruise Ship gradually disappearing.

They let out a long exhale, and in unison they pulled out their handkerchiefs and wiped the bitter sweat that flowed into their eyes once more.

When I looked back, the command system of the command ship was completely extinguished, like a dead steel fortress. When I went out of the command room and looked again, two holes appeared in the bridge of the command ship.

One is caused by laser ablation, and the other is a hole shot out of an electromagnetic kinetic energy projectile.

The two dark holes looked at them like two big eyes, mockingly.

When I looked around, there was not a single lifeless battleship as far as my eye could see. The group of warships, which was still alive a while ago, stopped quietly on the ocean at this moment, not moving.

Only the endless waves, gently lapping against the hull of the ship, like a mother calling for her sleeping heirs.

The three commanders fell to the deck with a puff as their legs went limp. He closed his eyes in pain, and his face was full of despair.

Behind them, the subordinates looked dumbfounded, like statues.
