Chapter 1331 The Seventh Fleet Failed Again
1331. Seventh Fleet Failed Again
In the outer waters of Aurora Island, the reorganized U.S. Seventh Fleet is advancing mightily. In addition to the original Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier, the reorganized Seventh Fleet also has a total of three aircraft carriers, the Stennis and the Carl Vinson, forming three powerful aircraft carrier battle groups. Because the previous flagship of the Seventh Fleet, the command ship Blue Ridge, was destroyed by the Hydera Corps, the flagship of the Seventh Fleet is now the USS Ronald Reagan.
This huge fleet includes 10 Ticondaroga-class cruisers, 22 Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, and two Wasp-class amphibious assault ships USS Iwo Jima and USS Essex. In addition, three Austin-class landing docks and one San Antonio-class landing dock were commissioned several years ahead of the normal world. There are also seven Los Angeles-class attack submarines.
With such a powerful lineup, even including Russia and China, any country on the earth would be afraid of it, but now it appears on the outskirts of the small Aurora Island.
Now they have confirmed that Tang Yu is currently on Aurora Island, so an hour ago, the SEALs had set off from the amphibious assault ships Essex and Iwo Jima. The SEALs dispatched 10 combat teams this time, including more than 140 of the most elite special forces. Their goal is Tang Yu, known as the most dangerous criminal in history!
After the SEALs set off, the Seventh Fleet did not stop. Because the ultimatum issued by the United States to the Guardian Group is still 15 minutes away, it seems that the Guardian Group has no intention of complying with it. The new commander of the Seventh Fleet, Vice Admiral William Crowder, commanded the three aircraft carrier battle groups to launch and start preparations for landing. It is expected that the landing operation will be launched immediately after the 15-minute ultimatum time limit is reached.
But what made William Crowder feel a little weird was that as long as the reconnaissance plane they sent out got close to Aurora Island, all the electronic equipment would fail, so the reconnaissance plane didn't dare to get too close.
At this moment, Vice Admiral William Crowder suddenly received a very abrupt communication from Tang Yu!
"You have entered the 5-kilometer warning zone around Aurora Island. If you continue to approach, we will regard it as a hostile act. Please leave immediately." Tang Yu said lazily to him.
"The Guardian Group's sovereignty over Aurora Island is not recognized by any country. You have no right or power to let us leave!" Claude answered with his head raised.
"But you Americans are really cunning. You've already started before the time for the ultimatum. Well, I captured more than a hundred SEALs just now. Don't you plan to explain it?" Tang Yu asked back road.
Claude was shocked in his heart, but still maintained his calm appearance. He said sharply: "You know, you are provoking the dignity of the entire United States of America! I advise you, don't go further! Capture personnel and equipment, obey the ultimatum!"
"I've been failing, but I've been dying. I'm talking about you." Tang Yu pouted, "Anyway, I just came to inform you, and I didn't intend to let you really leave. Let's put it this way, yours I'm not interested in following the timetable, so I'm going to attack you in 10 minutes, get ready."
After finishing speaking, Tang Yu involuntarily shut down the communication.
Lieutenant General Claude was silent for a while, then waved his hand and said loudly: "Order all fleets, prepare for battle! The plane takes off! Monitor the situation on the seabed and in the air at any time! The landing force will set off in 5 minutes!"
The entire Seventh Fleet must act immediately! The planes on the three huge aircraft carriers took off continuously, hundreds of F/A-18 fighter jets blocked the entire airspace, the E-2C Hawkeye early warning aircraft also flew to the sky to overlook the entire battlefield, and the S-3 anti-submarine patrol aircraft also closely monitored seabed.
The missile launchers on all warships are ready to launch at any time.
The active radar is turned on, and the mk-15 Phalanx close-in defense system is also scanning the surroundings of the warship at any time.
Five minutes later, following Vice Admiral Claude's order, more than 30 V-22 Osprey tiltrotor aircraft, escorted by more than 10 sh-61 Seahawk helicopters, rushed towards Aurora Island! At the same time, more than a dozen large hovercraft were launched inside three Austin-class and one San Antonio-class dock landing ships, and dozens of aav-7 amphibious armored vehicles loaded with marines also set off!
Because this is not a large-scale war for either the United States or the Guardian Group, the Seventh Fleet did not prepare for firepower, but landed directly!
However, just after the 10 minutes that Tang Yu said was up, a burst of extremely powerful electromagnetic interference suddenly enveloped him! Radar failure, communication failure, navigation system failure! The entire Seventh Fleet became completely blind!
Lieutenant General Cloud yelled on the bridge of the Reagan aircraft carrier: "What the hell is going on! Immediately detect the source of interference! Increase the signal radiation power!"
"It's already being done! We changed to a new frequency band, but it took less than a minute for the other party to detect it again!" A technician next to him said loudly.
Claude's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He looked at Aurora Island in front of him and waved his hand suddenly: "Launch the Tomahawk cruise missile immediately! The target is aimed at the mountain above Aurora Island!"
"The fire control system is all out of order! Even if you launch a missile, you can't hit the target!" A staff officer said loudly.
"Then don't aim! Can't even hit a mountain?! Launch immediately!" Claude said sharply.
"Mr. Lieutenant General, look!!" Suddenly, an officer next to him pointed to the sky with a livid face, and Claude followed his finger to look, and he was stunned for a moment!
All I saw was over the Seventh Fleet, hundreds of elliptical aircraft were releasing the stealth system and appeared in front of them! ! The head of this aircraft looks like a praying mantis, and densely packed missiles are mounted under the round fuselage! It is a Dragonrider IV aircraft! !
"Where did these things come from!? When did they appear? Shoot them down! Quick!!!" Lieutenant General Claude cried out in shock.
"The radar is completely unresponsive! Can't aim!!" a soldier cried and shouted.
"Then shoot! Fire! No matter what it is!! Fire me anyway! Fire!" Claude roared angrily.
Phalanx close-in defense systems and mk-38 close-in defense machine guns on the surrounding warships fired one after another, and some warships even fired standard Type III air-to-air missiles!
But something that made them desperate happened. All the launched anti-air missiles flew to the sky like a blind man, and the near-fire capability of manually controlling the fire could not keep up with these extremely flexible aircraft! These aircraft are like dragonflies, flying upright, flying sideways, stopping and turning suddenly, and their maneuverability is almost perfect! Even a few machine gun bullets that hit them were blocked by a faint energy shield!
Lieutenant General Claude only felt a burst of cold hands and feet. At this time, he only saw these aircrafts suddenly swoop down and launch missiles! ! He closed his eyes in despair.
