643 Battle of the Mozambique Strait (8)

The anti-ship missile launched from the torpedo launcher jumped out of the water like a dolphin, rushing towards the US anti-submarine surface ship with splashes and flames. The supersonic flight mode makes the distance of hundreds of kilometers just a moment

In between, when the active radar of the anti-ship missile was turned on, the US surface warship realized that it had become a living target for Chinese missiles.

The Aegis systems of several US military Aegis ships are continuously operating and have also responded quickly to the missile attack. However, these Chinese anti-ship missiles are supersonic missiles, and the penetration at the end is above-Mach.

Moreover, the flight altitude is basically at an ultra-low altitude of 6 meters, which makes it impossible for some US air defense missiles to attack such low targets at all. Only dense array systems can deal with these missiles, but even dense array tracks such high-speed flight counters

Ship missiles are also quite difficult.

The Chinese Navy has performed saturation attacks to the extreme. Each attack is launched, more than a dozen or even dozens of anti-ship missiles are launched at the same time. Even if the US military has the ability to intercept, it is most likely to cause confusion in a hurry, not to mention most of them.

The weapon system is not able to maintain normal operation for any period of time. Just like this time, there was a problem with the VLB system of a Ticonderoga-class missile cruiser of the US military and there was no time to launch it.

Except for two anti-ship missiles that deviated from the target, one was swept away by a dense array, and the rest hit the target. The huge warhead of the heavy anti-ship missiles made as long as the missile hit a ship below five or six thousand tons,

The ship basically cannot escape the fate of sinking.

Another Alberke-class destroyer was directly hit by the bridge, and the entire ship command system was taken away in one fell swoop. Most officers, including the captain, were killed. Although the ship would not sink immediately,

It has completely lost its combat capability. After being hit by an anti-ship missile, the frigates of the US military, and the frigates of the other allies have basically been opened to a large hole, and the sea water began to surging inward.

The hull sinks or overturns at an astonishing speed.

This round of heavy supersonic anti-ship missile attacks alone has caused the surface ship squadron used for anti-submarines to sink so many ships directly by Chinese submarines, and the boats have been damaged to various degrees. In severe cases,

The battle can no longer continue.

The battle report was sent back to Cornell, the commander in the main force of the US fleet. The commander who had been under great pressure since the war started almost breathed a breath and went straight over. It took him a while to recover.

Left and left and right said helplessly: "We have been defending ourselves for thousands of times, but we still haven't defended the Chinese submarines. These weapons, like black holes in the deep sea, have become our most terrifying ones after being equipped with Chinese supersonic long-range missiles.

The enemy is even more terrifying than the Chinese stealth aircraft. Regardless of the outcome of this battle, the United States must use its best efforts to develop something that can counter Chinese submarines and supersonic long-range missiles, otherwise we will be in the battlefield of any ocean.

You will suffer such serious setbacks as today.”

Cornell's statement has already dampened the fleet's spirit and morale, but I think even if he doesn't say such words, ordinary US and NATO Allied officers and soldiers will feel the existence of pressure. After the expeditionary fleet contacts the Chinese Navy, they cannot

It is said that the Chinese Navy has lost no money at all, but the losses of the US and NATO Allied forces are quite substantial. Confidence has been lost in their hearts. Even though their overall strength is not weaker than that of the Chinese Navy, they will inevitably be afraid of each other during the fight.

The situation.

At this time, Cornell put his energy back on how to win. Even in such a disadvantaged environment, it does not mean that the US military has no winning rate. After all, in terms of military strength, the expeditionary fleet is stronger than the Chinese navy and the Indian Ocean.

Some fleets, even though they lost many ships, were similar in size to the Indian Ocean fleet at this time.

"We need fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft and a large number of anti-submarine aircraft. At the same time, our main force of the fleet enhances the strength of the anti-submarine. Anti-submarine helicopters attend at maximum strength, increase the frontal width of the fleet deployment, and firmly protect the core ships. Enhance the attack of the aviation force, we

We must completely overwhelm the Chinese in the air. Our advantage lies in the air. As long as air supremacy is seized, the Chinese people's nightmare will come." Cornell clenched his fist and tried his best to show his confidence and confidence. In fact, what he said was

It is not wrong. The navy built by the US military since World War II has basically been centered on aircraft carriers. The Soviets have developed generations of nuclear submarines and supersonic anti-ship missiles, while the Americans are focusing on the construction of their own carrier-based aviation.

.This also shows that when the US military was fighting against the Chinese fleet, there was basically no way to do anything other than using aviation.

The Americans actually never thought that the war would go on like today. They have always considered themselves the most advanced country with weapons and equipment, and American soldiers are also used to using advanced weapons from the other party to beat the other party to their parents.

But when we really got up with China's pLAf, Americans realized how ridiculous they have always been. On fighter jets, all Chinese fighter jets are not weak, and it is not a problem to fight with the US military, so the US military appeared in the fighter jets.

With a larger number, it was unable to tear apart the air defense line formed by Chinese HNA fighter jets.

In the key link of anti-submarine warfare, the US military does have a large number of anti-submarine weapons, fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft, anti-submarine helicopters, anti-submarine frigates and other series of equipment that make the US anti-submarine warfare very efficient. However, China's attack nuclear submarines silently

The level is around 3 decibels, or even lower, which has caused great difficulties for the US military to discover them. Even if this group of submarines were discovered, these abnormal attack nuclear submarines also have long-range anti-ships with a range of 200 to 300 kilometers.

Missiles can attack US ships first because the range of US anti-submarine weapons is tens of kilometers long.

This technologically irreparable gap was the advantage of the generation difference that Americans had prided themselves on the past, but now it belongs to their own enemies, but its high-value weapons must be constantly praised in the face of the advanced technology of the Chinese.

This humiliation made the Americans really unable to swallow it, and they were even more confused about the war.

On the other hand, Zhang Juzuo, the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, was full of joy after hearing his submarine force's achievements, as if he had seen the dawn of victory. Just when he wanted to let the submarine force continue to pursue victory, the US fighter jets began to become more crazier.

In the fight against Chinese carrier-based aviation, especially in the airspace closer to several US warships, US fighter jets began to constantly squeeze and eliminate them from this area.

The reason why the US military wants to do this is because China's nuclear submarine launches supersonic long-range anti-ship missiles, which basically only serves as a launching platform. If the missile is to really hit the enemy ship, it requires relay guidance from friendly units in the front.

The one who does this job is the Chinese fighter jets nearby. After the Americans figured out this, they immediately sent all their might to squeeze out the Chinese fighter jets and provide shade for their surface ships.

At the same time, several attack nuclear submarines of the United States that followed the fleet also participated in the counter-mission of Chinese submarines, but they were more careful in their actions, because it was obvious that China did not know how many nuclear submarines were ambushed underwater, and the number was absolutely very large

It is very easy to cause US submarines to be besieged.

Zhang Juzuo learned that the US military had made such an action and knew that it could only be a fight with the other party to the air force. The reserve team he had left before was sent out at this time, with more than 100 aircraft carried by three Chinese aircraft carriers.

Except for a very small number of fighter jets that remained on the flight deck of the aircraft carrier for emergency standby, all others took off for combat. Aerial combat between more than 30 rare Chinese and American fighters appeared in the entire Mozambique airspace, which became even more powerful as the battle became more

Fierce, more and more Chinese and American fighter jets are falling from the air. But even so, the two sides still cannot distinguish between the superiority and neither side can obtain absolute air supremacy. They can only drag the two sides to continuously consume each other.

Your own fighter.

After more than four hours of normal air combat, it was basically impossible for both sides to continue fighting and could only withdraw. However, at this time, the US Navy still showed that it was more professional and more familiar with aircraft carrier combat.

On the one hand, Cornell had been holding down the two aviation squadrons before and did not send them out until both sides were exhausted.

On the other hand, most of its fighter jets have already landed on the flight deck due to lack of fuel. Besides a few fighter jets, Zhang Juzu could not send more fighters to fight. Chinese fighter jets that did not land

The fight began to turn around to deal with these sudden enemies, but due to the fatigue of the pilots, the aircraft's weapons and fuel loss and other reasons, the battle was very difficult, and the Chinese aviation army suffered a lot of losses. Taking advantage of this opportunity, several American fighters were

It also entered the attack radius of Chinese ships, launched air-fired harpoons and Slam missiles to attack Chinese ships.

The Aegis system of the Type 056 cruiser and Type 052 destroyer on the periphery is much more advanced than that of the US military's Aegis. In addition, missiles like Slam are more difficult than intercepting Eagle Strike-2 and Eagle Strike-18.

Many of them were small, and all of these anti-ship missiles were shot down by the Chinese ASCHS.
