Chapter 761 Fierce battle on Shazhou Island!(2/3)
Compared with the circular island of only 30 square kilometers, the Shazhou Island has a flatter terrain, lower population density, and is located closer to the middle of the southern sea. It is obviously more suitable to serve as the alliance's air force base in the southern sea.
In fact, the South China Sea Alliance authorities also expected this, and Commander Li even proposed to take the risk of sending a fleet to provide cover for the troops landing on the islands.
This plan has been submitted to the alliance staff, which has even prepared a combat plan and execution plan, but unfortunately it has not been approved by the managers.
"... Equality given by force is not equality. It doesn't matter if you don't understand. I don't understand everything either, but I believe that our administrator can lead us to end the wasteland, just like we believe that he can lead us to stop the bone-chewing tribe.
Like a wave."
Lao Bai shook his shoulder and let go.
"Go do your job, just like us."
While he was talking, there was a thunder-like explosion on the quiet sea surface, and a string of dense tracers formed a curve in the air, waving towards the sky like a long whip, and then two balls of fire exploded.
After a while, the voice of the pilot of the Goblin Corps came from the communication channel.
"...This is Fengqing, the enemy destroyer's fire network is too dense! Our missiles cannot break through their point defense system..."
The Federation Navy was established with the legion as the imaginary enemy, so naturally it would not be so stupid as to not even have an air defense system.
What's more, the main uses of destroyers are anti-submarine and aviation. The reason why Charas sent destroyers to escort the landing ships was because he took into account the alliance's "air superiority" and General Li Minghui's submarine.
But I didn’t expect these guys to even have an air defense phalanx...
Lao Bai frowned slightly.
At this moment, new news came from the Southern Alliance headquarters.
"...The enemy landing ship and escorting destroyer have approached 20 nautical miles south of you. We have searched for sonar and radar signals of 27 ship activities within a radius of 150 nautical miles near Shazhou Island... We are unable to determine which coordinates are valid coordinates.
Can you trouble your air force to come over and take a look?"
27 coordinates!
Spanning 150 nautical miles!
Lao Bai looked slightly solemn and said in a low voice.
"...I have told our air force to ask your submarines to continue searching in nearby waters!"
The South China Sea Alliance operator responded immediately.
"OK!"
Due to the special conditions of low-Earth orbit, there are no strategic satellites in the wasteland, and even if there are strategic satellites, it is not easy to lock the precise position of a fleet on the vast sea.
After contacting the Goblin Corps, Lao Bai immediately switched to the team voice channel and informed all his teammates of the situation on the battlefield.
"The enemy plans to attack our southern position! Everyone is ready to fight!"
A majestic response came from the communication channel.
"yes!"
The company of one hundred and twenty men was divided into three platoons and established a triangular defensive fulcrum along the buildings on the south side of the island.
And at the same time, returning to the silent sea, two huge ships emerged.
According to the information provided by the South China Sea Alliance, that is the destroyer Reef of the North Island Navy!
The point defense system at the bow and stern of the battleship can pour out a phalanx of mass bombs weighing up to 100g at an ultimate rate of fire of tens of thousands of rounds per minute, which is equivalent to delivering an entire missile into the air in just one minute.
A ton of working fluid!
The firepower network composed of this thing, not to mention missiles, drones, and even a sufficient number of artillery shells can intercept it!
In addition to the anti-air point defense system, the Reef is also equipped with torpedoes, missile launchers, and a 150mm naval gun.
If you let this thing get close to the shore, the consequences will be disastrous!
However, the "asymmetry" in the wasteland is mutual, which is also the biggest difference between the wasteland and the real world.
The federal navy, which has been developed for more than 150 years, is indeed powerful, but the alliance's land-based weapons are not vegetarian.
The "Dragon" missile developed by Jushi Military Industry has been improved by researchers from Shelter 70 and has evolved into a land-based "ultra-long range anti-ship version" - "Sea Dragon"!
Shortly after the "Thunder" fighter plane failed to break through the fire network, at the end of the floating airport outside the circular island, a square missile launcher raised its huge forehead.
As the launch order was issued, a column of white smoke broke through the dust cover and jumped into the sky, pushing a silver-white missile through the dense dark clouds.
The missile was like a sharp dagger. After drawing a parabolic trajectory, it stabbed the "Reef" that was actively exposed to the radars of the Alliance and the South China Sea Alliance as a "bait".
The point defense system of the Reef worked without any suspense. A dense rain of bullets poured out from the raised gun barrel, pounced on the "Sea Dragon" falling from the sky like a dense swarm of bees!
A dazzling light exploded in the air, but that was not the light from Hai Long's death, but the detonation triggered by the mother warhead after detecting the approach of a high-speed object!
In the bridge behind the reef, the man wearing an epaulette cap shrank violently. He had a premonition that something was wrong when the missile exploded.
Their radar did not detect any enemy ships in the nearby waters!
This is a land-launched missile!
At the same time, there was only a burst of exclamations and curses coming from the row of terminals not far in front of him.
"Radar component overloaded! Transmitter not functioning properly!"
"Unable to lock the enemy plane's position!"
"Sonar system malfunctioned! Damn it!"
"It's EMP! Notify the repair team to troubleshoot immediately!"
"how long it takes?!"
"The damage is not serious... it should be done within five minutes!"
"five minutes?!"
The USS Reef destroyer is equipped with an "anti-strong electromagnetic pulse device", but it needs to turn off the active phased array radar and sonar systems and enter a radio silent state before it can be turned on.
However, their previous attention was entirely on the two planes that were about to take off and the submarine that was lurking somewhere, and they did not expect that the Alliance would use this trick.
Relying solely on passive anti-electromagnetic pulse components is obviously not enough to completely shield the direct strike of this strategic EMP weapon.
Spear and shield are always relative concepts, and there is no absolutely impenetrable defense.
The failure of sonar and radar is undoubtedly equivalent to losing two eyes for the destroyer Reef.
Although the point defense system on the destroyer has two sets of identification equipment, which can use optical lenses to complete visual identification and locking of flying objects without relying on radar, the interception efficiency is definitely not as good as that of radar.
And the most critical thing is the sonar system...
The three attack submarines are the South China Sea Alliance’s biggest trump card!
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, the captain broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead and hurriedly looked at the operator in the main gun area and asked.
"Where's the fire control system?"
"For the time being... no fault has been found!" The operator in the main battery area who was sitting in front of the terminal swallowed and replied nervously.
Hearing this answer, the captain did not get any comfort in his heart, and at this moment, the correspondent sitting in front of the radio suddenly shouted.
"Sir! The command has sent us a request to bombard the coastline! The forward landing ship will lower the landing craft in thirty seconds!"
The captain was shocked when he heard this and his eyes widened.
"Are they crazy?! There are residents of Sandbank Island!"
The combat plan did mention that it would cover the landing troops arriving at Shazhou Island, and even mentioned in detail that they would use it as a bait to lure out the "rebel fleet" from Anle Island, and cooperate with the main fleet ambushing in the nearby waters to sink it, but that plan
There was nothing in the plan that told him to bomb his own people!
Although what happened on Shazhou Island made him furious, it was the guards who caused the trouble, and the survivors living on Shazhou Island were innocent.
At least in his opinion, those people are all his compatriots!
The correspondent reported the situation to the command post. After receiving the reply, he looked at the captain hesitantly.
"The headquarters said... they are traitors and they want us to fire immediately."
There is no time to hesitate.
The captain gritted his teeth and looked at the artillery operator sitting beside him.
"...Aim at the coastline! Avoid urban areas and fire!"
The artillery operator was stunned for a moment, but still took the order.
"yes!"
As the order was issued, the 150mm naval gun on the destroyer Reef slowly raised its barrel, first fired a test-fired correction bomb towards the south shore of Shazhou Island, and then began to continuously release ferocious bombs.
gunfire.
Hearing the deafening sound of artillery, Lao Bai, who was squatting in a building in the city, took a deep breath, holding a telescope in his hand and staring closely at the heavy landing craft getting closer and closer on the sea, and issued a battle order on the communication channel
The command.
"All teammates, get ready! Release the insurance! Put our enemies on the shore first, and then beat me hard!"
After a moment of pause, he switched the communication channel to Brother Chicken and said in a deep voice.
"The EMP detonated successfully... The enemy ship did not respond to our fighter planes flying over the clouds. The radar system was suspected to be paralyzed. If the analysis of the engineers of Shelter 70 is reliable, their sonar system is probably also very troubled. Next, it's time to
To be continued...
