Chapter 279: Completely Suppressing the Haizi
"Oh, what a bummer, there was no fight. I was waiting to see the Longxia Navy being wiped out."
"No more fighting, I'm so sorry."
The representative of the Feilu tribe lowered his voice, expressing his dissatisfaction.
"How can this be? Why did the Eagle tribe intervene? Haven't they always expected the Longxia Navy to be completely wiped out, thereby weakening the strength of the Longxia tribe?"
"Why did they take the lead in voting against it today? They are so upset."
The representative of the Qianfo tribe took over the conversation, and he still didn't understand the situation.
"You still don't know what's going on? Then you don't care about current affairs."
"It's just that now the fight suddenly stopped, I'm afraid the air defense identification zone drawn by the Donghuang tribe will be in vain, then our previous actions, won't there be no hope?"
The Iron Monkey tribe came over and lowered their voice, feeling a little unhappy.
"Damn it, the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force is a coward, how can they act first and report later? What the hell are the rules of the Blue Star Alliance, just fight first and talk later, and destroy the Longxia Navy, I guarantee nothing will happen."
The representative of the Niying tribe was also unhappy.
"Damn it, I finally waited for a war, and the Longxia Navy was about to be destroyed, but this came."
"Isn't this disgusting? It's meaningless."
Several tribal representatives in the East Continent Sea area gathered together and whispered to express their dissatisfaction.
They have prepared several action plans, and even discussed privately how to divide the resources in the southern Longxia Sea area.
The navy and the marines are all ready, just waiting for the opportunity for the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force to open fire and destroy the Longxia Navy!
Whether it is the Blue Star Alliance headquarters or the many tribes who are waiting to watch the show, none of them could have thought that the Longxia Navy and the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force would still fight on the high seas even though the Blue Star Alliance has already voted.
The representatives of the two parties who were aware of the situation at the scene chose to remain silent in tacit understanding, quietly waiting for things to continue to ferment.
At the same time, the fighting situation on the sea surface has become more and more intense.
It is obvious that the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force has an absolute advantage in numbers, with nearly 30 warships of all sizes participating in the battle, not to mention underwater submarines.
There are even two half-eight-eight fleets that have reached the front line, but it has only been a short time, and the situation has reversed.
The numerical advantage has not been brought into play at all, but has become a burden.
If a high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft happened to fly over this sea area at this moment, it would certainly be able to see that the firepower of the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force has been completely suppressed by the Longxia Navy, and the huge number of anti-ship missiles have forced the warships of the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force to conduct crazy air defense.
From the beginning, both sides were 50 kilometers away from the national border, and now the Longxia Navy has advanced to about 30 kilometers, while the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force warships have retreated unknowingly.
Even with the firepower support provided by the aircraft carrier, fighter jets were launched in the air and launched attacks, but the firepower interception distance of the East Desert Maritime Self-Defense Force was still suppressed to the side of the East Desert Sea, which was only about ten kilometers.
It can be said that this has been infinitely close to the final interception limit of the East Desert Maritime Self-Defense Force.
From time to time, anti-ship missiles will break through the interception network and hit less than one kilometer away from the Kongo-class warship.
One or two kilometers is called the dangerous area of warships. Once the incoming missiles are not intercepted, the ship will be destroyed immediately and the people will die. There is no third way to choose.
Naval battles are not like land battles. If you can't win, you can dig a hole to hide yourself.
The aircraft carrier is even more firepower. Almost all carrier-based aircraft have taken off a round, but it is useless and still struggling.
The firepower advantage brought by a large number of missiles is completely a super-saturated attack. It is extremely difficult to counterattack under such circumstances.
As a result, the Longxia Navy gradually gained the upper hand, and this was when the killer 052D did not participate in the battle.
In modern naval warfare, firepower is still king!
Once the firepower is suppressed, it is basically impossible to win.
At present, the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force can only rely on the air advantage provided by the carrier-based aircraft to counter the Longxia Navy. Of course, it must also be prepared for a large number of its warships to be sunk.
After all, there is only one Haruna-class light aircraft carrier participating in the battle, and the carrier-based aircraft it carries are also limited. Facing the air defense force of the Longxia Navy, there is no way to provide effective air support.
052C has powerful air defense firepower. Whether it is from the air defense reaction time or the range of air defense missiles, it completely surpasses the Kongo class. The anti-ship missiles it launches have a speed of 1.9 Mach.
It is completely supersonic flight. This type of anti-ship missile is simply not intercepted by the 3000 to 4500 launch speed of the last dense Phalanx air defense system of the Kongo class.
With so many anti-ship missiles fired at the same time, the consumption of Donghuanghai’s air defense missiles was extremely alarming.
The Kongo-class guided missile destroyer has two MK 41 missile vertical launch systems, of which the front mid-deck launch system has 29 launch units and 29 missiles. The rear deck has 61 launch units and 61 missiles.
Generally speaking, a Kongo-class ship will be equipped with 74 Standard 2 air defense missiles, plus 16 VAL anti-submarine missiles.
Facing supersonic anti-ship missiles, a Standard 2 cannot intercept them at all, and usually two interceptor missiles are fired for air interception.
The three SPG-62 illumination radars equipped on the ship can simultaneously illuminate incoming missiles from three different directions, meeting the terminal guidance needs of 9 to 12 interceptor missiles.
Even if the two half-eight-eight fleets are all equipped with the Kongo-class guided missile destroyers, the maximum number of interceptions in one wave when the radar is running at full power is about 90 to 100.
The first wave reached 121 to 130 missiles, which is already a super-saturated attack.
Moreover, after the first wave was over, the second wave came immediately, with an interval of less than half a minute.
The advantages of the mix of 052C and 052B gradually emerged, and they were not ambiguous at all in the face of the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Fleet, which had an absolute advantage in numbers.
The battle lasted only a few minutes, and the tense situation gradually became clear.
In the main control room of a light frigate of the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force, the captain and others looked at the anti-ship missiles that broke through. All the interception systems on the ship were used, and even the anti-aircraft missiles were used up, but they still failed to intercept them.
Looking at the rapidly approaching Eagle Strike anti-ship missile, everyone fell into despair.
"Long live the East Desert Empire!"
"Ah!"
In the terrifying holy war slogan shouting, the warship was directly hit by the Eagle Strike anti-ship missile.
Boom!
The next second, a violent explosion suddenly sounded, the frigate was blown open, and the fire and smoke rose up and rushed into the sky.
Then the second ship was hit by the anti-ship missile. The warship was directly cut off in the middle. The sea water rushed in frantically, swallowing it directly like a monster. The crew members fell into the water like dumplings and made their last dying struggle.
Half an hour ago, they were still clamoring to destroy all the Longxia Navy and sink all the ships.
Now, they have all fallen into the water and become food for sharks.
The anti-ship missiles of the Eagle Strike series have a warhead charge of 500 kilograms, all of which are high explosives. A single shot from a warship like a frigate is enough to send it to hell.
And a large missile destroyer like the Kongo class can't withstand one, and if it is hit by two at the same time, its fate is basically the same as that of the frigate.
Perhaps one missile could still hold out and continue to fight, but if they were hit by two missiles at the same time, the consequences would be unimaginable, and there was no such thing as luck.
Watching the underpowered frigates being sunk one after another, the 88 Fleet lost nearly one-third of its Kongo-class missile destroyers, and the entire ocean was covered with smoke-filled warship wreckage.
On the Haruna-class light aircraft carrier, Taro Kishida stood on the tall bridge and looked at the warships with a telescope, looking anxious and angry.
They all knew that these warships were beyond rescue, and they could only use the advantages of the aircraft carrier platform to rescue personnel.
In this way, they had to allocate some of their strength.
The lack of firepower output of a warship may not be a big deal for the East Coast Maritime Self-Defense Force with more than 30 participating warships, but once the number increases, there will be a clear lack of firepower.
The gaps in the interception network are getting bigger and bigger, and more and more anti-ship missiles are slipping through the net.
Taro Kishida really couldn't figure out why such a situation had occurred. Hadn't they always been very strong in the East Desert Sea?
The Kongo-class missile destroyers they were equipped with were directly copied from the Arleigh Burke II, and their radar performance had been upgraded, with super strong situational awareness and detection capabilities.
In contrast, the Longxia Navy was synonymous with backwardness in their eyes.
Even if they were equipped with some modern warships, they were only a few, and they had an absolute advantage in numbers.
Before the war, he also used radar to scan all the participating warships of the Longxia Navy, and found that their numbers were far lower than theirs, basically reaching a situation of three to one.
Three to one.
They had three warships, and the other side had only one.
What is this concept?
They clearly had a numerical advantage, but they ended up like this, and were madly suppressed from the beginning.
There were 121 anti-ship missiles in the first batch, and then the second batch came, directly allowing the anti-ship missiles to break through the 200 mark.
Crazy, completely crazy.
Where did the Longxia Navy get so many anti-ship missiles? They were just smashing them down on their heads like crazy.
With such a terrifying scale, even if the Eagle Tribe's Seventh Fleet went into battle personally, I'm afraid it wouldn't be able to withstand it, right?
If they don't shrink their defenses, they will probably all be buried in the sea and become fish food.
Taro Kishida couldn't care less and gave orders in a hurry.
"Order, all warships gradually move closer and change formation."
"All ships quickly adjust their air defense formation."
That's right, they still have to focus on air defense and continue to resist the attack of anti-ship missiles.
And he also found a serious problem, the speed of the anti-ship missiles they launched was too slow, all at subsonic speed.
Often the anti-ship missiles they fired were intercepted before they crossed the middle line of the battle between the two sides.
In other words, the anti-ship missiles launched by the Longxia Navy had already rushed to the front, and the anti-ship missiles they launched had not been fired far.
In the main control room, Taro Kishida walked back and forth anxiously.
"Why is this happening? What went wrong?"
"Why were we suppressed the whole time?"
"We have an aircraft carrier fleet in the battle, and the Longxia Navy is full of warships."
"It doesn't make sense."
Not only he couldn't figure it out, but even the other people in the control room couldn't figure it out.
Katsumura Yota, who took the initiative to provoke the conflict, was also confused at the moment, and couldn't figure out which link had gone wrong.
They obviously had the advantage in quantity and quality, but the fact was that they had sunk a large number of warships. The 88th Fleet alone lost nearly ten Kongo-class missile destroyers.
Since its establishment, has the East Desert Sea ever suffered such a terrible loss?
Didn't they agree that after destroying all the Longxia Navy, they would drive the warships to the Longxia waters to hold a celebration banquet, with firing as background music.
Why were they suppressed so tightly not long after the war started, and they didn't even have a chance to raise their heads.
The warships were lost one after another.
Even his No. 4 ship was attacked by an anti-ship missile, and he is currently organizing personnel to carry out damage control operations.
After receiving the order, he maneuvered desperately, contracted the front line, and tried to form a pincer situation with other ships, relying on the protection of other warships.
He knew very well that he only needed one more anti-ship missile, and then he would say goodbye to this world.
"Why, why is this happening?"
"Impossible."
"Baga!"
Katsumura Yota roared like a devil, and his face was extremely hideous and terrifying.
He even regretted it in his heart. Why did he accidentally touch the missile launch button?
Even with the aircraft carrier, they were beaten into such a mess. If there was no aircraft carrier to provide air defense support, wouldn't it mean that they would have been wiped out?
Just thinking about it, Taro Kishida shuddered.
Seeing that the situation was getting more and more difficult, it was madly leaping towards the side that was not favorable to the East Desert Sea Self-Defense Force.
"Commander, the situation is getting worse and worse for us. We can't win. Can we retreat?"
"Request support. If we continue to fight, we will all be finished."
"The current situation is very bad. If we continue to fight, we will all become fish food."
The captains of several warships sent inquiries. They were all anxious, but they could do nothing.
They never thought that the battle would turn out like this.
"Captain, do you want to request support from the Air Self-Defense Force fighter jets?"
"We can't support the war and reverse the decline at present with our own strength. "
Seeing that Taro Kishida hadn't spoken for a long time, the deputy captain couldn't help but ask.
All the main battleships of the Eastern Maritime Self-Defense Force are here. If they continue to fight, I'm afraid the Maritime Self-Defense Force will face the bad situation of having no ships available in the future.
What's more, they have to face the threat of the White Bear Tribe's Pacific Fleet in the north.
Once the other party feels that their Eastern Maritime Self-Defense Force is weak, they may take advantage of it. At that time, I'm afraid the Eastern Maritime Self-Defense Force will be in danger of being wiped out.
Such consequences are extremely terrifying, and the Eastern Tribe cannot afford it.
