Chapter 528: Completely Annihilate the Main Force of the Indian Navy

Now the entire Asan aircraft carrier formation is on the verge of destruction. Those frigates and destroyers with sword guards have either sunk or are in the process of sinking and are no longer capable of protecting the Vikrant aircraft carrier located in the core circle.

Exposed to powerful anti-ship missiles, the aircraft carrier's weak defense capabilities were completely exposed at this moment.

The Vikrant aircraft carrier is still struggling, no matter how hard it works with its four Otto 76mm naval guns and three AK-630 six-barreled 30mm cannons, the Vikrant aircraft carrier is huge in size. If you want to defend it, The anti-ship missiles fired like swords still seemed powerless.

A pure white Swordfish anti-ship missile cut through a wonderful arc, dodging the intensive interception barrage on the Vikrant aircraft carrier.

The Swordfish anti-ship missile went all the way down from the aircraft carrier deck, penetrated the closed chimney, smashed through the sailors' dormitory, and finally got stuck in the rear of the aircraft carrier with a bang.

The warhead flashed red, and after a brief delay of a few seconds, it exploded with a bang.

The 900-kilogram warhead of the Swordfish anti-ship missile showed terrifying power. The explosion directly penetrated the bottom of the aircraft carrier. A huge gap appeared at the bottom, and seawater poured in crazily.

What's even more frightening is that the explosion also caused damage to the aircraft carrier's propeller propeller.

The speed of the aircraft carrier dropped visibly to the naked eye, from a high speed of more than 20 knots to a turtle speed of five or six knots.

Without mobility, Vikrant's last hope of escape was completely lost.

At 8:03, an Exocet anti-ship missile exploded in the aircraft carrier hangar. The shock wave destroyed the spare fighter parts here and ignited the aviation fuel retained in the hangar. A billowing fire spread in the hangar.

Those damage control personnel who tried to get closer were so frightened that they turned around and ran away when they saw the engulfing flames.

In just three minutes, the aircraft carrier Vikrant was hit by five anti-ship missiles.

This medium-sized aircraft carrier with a displacement of 43,000 tons was bombed horribly, with fire and thick smoke everywhere.

However, the aircraft carrier's own buoyancy is still there, and there are a large number of watertight cabins. The Vikrant is 260 meters long, 60 meters wide, and as high as a 14-story building. None of these five anti-ship missiles made it sink.

It's just that the huge explosion has destroyed all the defensive weapons on the Vikrant aircraft carrier. Now Vikrant is like a naked woman who took off her clothes and allowed the Jieko Group to do whatever they want.

"Commander, retreat quickly, retreat quickly, we have lost this naval battle, please remain useful and fight again tomorrow!"

In the bridge command room, several naval commanders grabbed Kumar, who was crying bitterly, and dragged him out.

These officers were all from the upper caste of Asan Kingdom, and they did not have the determination or courage to sink with the ship.

"You, you bastards, mistook me, mistook me! My reputation will last forever."

Kumar yelled, struggled a few times, and with a reluctant expression on his face, he allowed himself to be dragged out of the bridge control tower.

When I came outside, I saw the miserable state of the aircraft carrier. There were bodies with broken limbs everywhere, and the deck was stained red with blood.

boom!

An anti-ship missile exploded on the deck, and many navy soldiers who were struggling to grab lifeboats were swallowed up by the explosion and flames.

The shock wave flipped the broken naval soldier into the sea, leaving a twenty-meter-sized gap in the deck. The steel of the deck rolled around like a morning glory.

A severed arm was blown away by the shock wave and hit Kumar's feet. The charred severed arm and the cold wind with a strong smell of blood lingering on the tip of his nose made him shiver uncontrollably, and a chill spread throughout his body.

"Retreat, let's retreat quickly."

Kumar shouted, broke away from the support of several officers, ran to the front, and untied the lifeboat's cable.

Several officers were stunned, looked at each other, and quickly followed.

"Commander, wait for me."

"I haven't boarded the ship yet!"

"Untouchables, this is something you can get into. Get out of here and find your own way if you want to survive."

"Pull quickly, row quickly. It's dangerous near the aircraft carrier. Stay away from here first."

A group of senior naval officers rushed to the lifeboat. Several people occupied one lifeboat and rowed desperately away from the doomed aircraft carrier Vikrant. They yelled at other naval soldiers who wanted to follow the ship.

"There are so many places on the ship, why not let us in."

"We are all going to die. You are still so condescending and don't take us seriously at all."

"Ignore them and get on the boat. I don't want to be blown up."

When the navy soldiers saw this scene, their eyes flashed with anger. In the face of death, they did not care about their identities and rushed into the lifeboats one after another.

"Be bold!"

A senior officer drew his pistol and opened fire on the crowd.

Amidst the screams, several soldiers fell down.

Instead of frightening the navy soldiers, this move aroused their anger even more.

"Fight them."

Many Asan Kingdom navy soldiers shouted, and while the officer finished firing his magazine, they angrily rushed to the lifeboat, punched and kicked the senior officer who had just fired, and then threw him into the sea and drowned.

Other senior officers were not spared and were treated as sandbags by these naval soldiers and beaten crazily.

They didn't just hit senior officers, because the lifeboat space was limited, the navy soldiers themselves soon started fighting among themselves, fighting for the limited positions, fighting each other and even shooting, and the scene became bloody.

Kumar, the fleet commander, was in chaos, and no one cared about his identity.

His old arms and legs were no match for others, and he was directly pushed off the lifeboat and fell into the sea.

Fortunately, there was a floating rubber tire next to him. He held the tire tightly and was constantly carried away from the vicinity of the Vikrant aircraft carrier by the waves.

Such chaotic scenes were happening everywhere on the Vikrant aircraft carrier, including other warships.

The corrupt military discipline and military regulations of India are not only in the army, but also in the navy.

The outbreak at this time also caused more deaths. Many people did not die in the attack of the Jeko Group, but died in the hands of their own people.

More anti-ship missiles came, because now on the sea, all other Indian warships sank, leaving only the Vikrant alone, and all anti-ship missiles found it.

The Vikrant also became the worst warship in this naval battle.

Its anti-sinking ability, on the contrary, caused itself to suffer a more severe blow.

As a result, a large number of Indian naval soldiers on the ship were bombarded by anti-ship missiles.

It is even difficult to determine how many anti-ship missiles hit it in the end, whether it was the Indian navy soldiers or the Devourer-class cruiser that launched the attack.

All we can see is a wave of horrific explosions raging on the aircraft carrier, from the bow to the stern, from the island to below the waterline, and the high-strength steel of the aircraft carrier was repeatedly ravaged.

Afterwards, according to the navy soldier who jumped into the sea near the Vikrant, he saw at least 13 explosions on the Vikrant aircraft carrier when he fell into the sea holding a lifebuoy.

Later, in an interview with the media, the navy soldier said in a crying voice: "When the Vikrant sank, its entire hull structure had been completely deformed, and I couldn't recognize its shape."

The fatal blow to the Vikrant aircraft carrier was the explosion from the oil depot.

An anti-ship missile was fired into the oil depot of the aircraft carrier, igniting the heavy oil on the aircraft carrier.

The huge explosion even lifted the aircraft carrier out of the water, and the raging fire turned the Vikrant aircraft carrier into a flaming coffin floating on the sea. One by one, the sailors on fire jumped into the sea to escape crying.

The entire warship burned on the sea for a long time. When several Devourer-class cruisers arrived, they just witnessed the Vikrant aircraft carrier, which was burning with flames and thick smoke, slowly capsizing and sinking into the cold sea.

Even if the mast of the aircraft carrier's island sank into the sea, the fire burning inside the Vikrant aircraft carrier could still be seen through the sea.

It was like a red meteor falling into the sea, illuminating the surrounding waters all the way until it was completely swallowed by the deep sea.

This domestically produced aircraft carrier, known as the pride of India, sank. Of the 1,400 naval soldiers on the ship, only 87 were rescued in the end.

Among the rescued people was Kumar, the fleet commander.

He was lucky to survive until after the war. When the soldiers of the Jeko Group found him, he was already unconscious. It took a lot of rescue to come back to life. He became the highest-ranking officer of the Indian Army captured by the Jeko Group.

A few hours later, Peng Hongtai stood on the bow of the Irrawaddy Devourer Cruiser and looked around.

The ocean was full of Indian Navy soldiers who fell into the water and called for help. The rescue speedboats of the Jeko Group were rescuing them one by one.

There were also a large number of corpses floating on the sea, which were constantly washed by the waves.

The blood attracted some sharks to come, but humans were not the food sharks liked. They often took a bite and disliked the lack of fat, so the sharks would swing their tail fins and leave.

There were more soldiers who jumped into the sea and their bodies could not be found. They had sunk into the sea and could only be listed as missing.

There were also several Indian warships with their bellies exposed like dead fish, upside down on the sea. The Devourer Cruiser was using torpedoes to make up for them and send them completely into the sea.

At this time, the time has just arrived at 11:20 in the morning. The sun is blazing, but this sea area gives people the feeling that a large number of corpses drifting with the waves are like coming to the Styx, giving people a bone-chilling chill.

A speedboat came to the side of the Irrawaddy and brought one of them onto the deck.

This person is none other than Kumar, the fleet commander.

Kumar was terrified. He had boarded the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier of the United States, but when he came to the Devourer Cruiser, he felt that this arsenal ship combining creatures and steel brought him as much shock as the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

"I am Peng Hongtai, the commander of the first fleet of the Jeko Group. This is the first time we have dealt with each other, and it may be the last time we have dealt with each other."

Peng Hongtai turned around and looked at the commander Kumar.

Now Kumar's gorgeous admiral uniform was wet by the sea water, and his hair was messy and wet. Compared with Peng Hongtai's straight military uniform, he looked very miserable and embarrassed.

The escorting soldier took off the exquisite pistol from his waist and handed it to Peng Hongtai. Kumar could only glare at him, but he could do nothing.

Peng Hongtai looked at him, handed the gun to the soldier beside him, and then pointed to the sea: "Speaking of this battle, I have to thank you for your help. Without your cooperation, we can't wipe out your fleet."

Kumar's face was very ugly when he heard this.

He regretted it very much at this time. If he had known the power of the Devourer Cruiser, he would never bring the aircraft carrier formation to die, but now it's too late to say anything.

"Your Excellency is just relying on the new warships to be violent for a while. When your warships are thoroughly studied and the double aircraft carrier battle group of the United States arrives, it will be the day of your demise."

If you lose, you won't lose. Kumar knew that his end would not be good, so he didn't worry too much at this time and said stiffly.

"Many people also say they want to crack our mechas, but until today, no force has been able to produce results."

Peng Hongtai smiled and shook his head, unfazed by Kumar's incompetent rage.

Peng Hongtai leaned against the side of the ship, the sharp bow cutting through the waves, and then said: "As for the beautiful Guoshuang aircraft carrier battle group you mentioned, I really want to fight with them. The navy of your Asan Kingdom is too inexperienced. I I want to weigh the quality of their beautiful country, known as Blue Star’s first navy.”

"Arrogant!"

Kumar looked at Peng Hongtai's high-spirited look, and his heart was already filled with regret.

Now he can only hope that the beautiful country can teach the Jieko Group a lesson and destroy their stealth cruiser.

Otherwise, in the future, all countries in the Indian Ocean and Southeast Asian waters will have to look at the face of the Jieke Group and be threatened by their naval and gun diplomacy.

"Take him down. Don't be harsh on him. After all, he is also the highest-ranking officer of Asan Kingdom whom we captured. Let's see if Asan Kingdom is willing to pay the ransom."

Peng Hongtai waved his hand, losing interest in continuing to talk to Macul, his defeated general.

Looking back at the sea, the blue sky intersects with the sea. There are shipwrecks and corpses floating on the sea. The dejected wounded and survivors of Asan Kingdom are in sharp contrast with the excited naval soldiers of Jieko Group.

"Commander, the results of the battle have been calculated."

At this time, the deputy ran over and showed Peng Hongtai a statistical document to check.

Peng Hongtai lowered his head to read the document, raised his head and stared into the distance. The sea breeze blew his face with the salty smell. When he saw the six mighty Devourer cruisers around him, he suddenly felt heroic and said loudly to his deputy: "Write me a letter, respectfully." Great Commander Su, on March 12, at 7:24 a.m. that day, our First Fleet successfully ambushed the aircraft carrier formation of the three countries in the waters of the Bay of Bengal.

In this battle, the aircraft carrier INS Vikrant, the destroyer INS Kolkata, the destroyer INS Rajput, the destroyer INS Chennai, the Shivalik-class frigate, and the nuclear submarine INS Arihant were sunk. A total of 30 enemy ships were destroyed against the enemy. The fleet completed its annihilation.

After this battle, the main force of the navy of the three countries was lost. With our navy now here, we can turn the Bay of Bengal into an inland sea, deter the Southeast Asian waters, dominate the Indian Ocean, and become the new maritime overlord in this sea area. "

The deputy wrote down every word Peng Hongtai said, and then ran to send the report with excitement on his face, and used the radio to transmit the good news back to the Jieke Group. (End of chapter)
