683 Battle of the Solomon Islands (9)
The new generation of battleship artillery warfare is very different from the World War II era. The ultra-long range and extremely powerful Shirakata electromagnetic gun always allows the battleship to fire at NATO and allied ships from 3 nautical miles away. At the same time, the missiles of other ships are also intermittently fired.
Launch anti-ship missiles at US warships.
The Tianzhu combat system carried by the General-class battleships has the ability to automatically determine the priority of target attacks. The US military constantly sends out ships that want to bombard or even ram Chinese battleships. These ships that are too close will become the priority target of the Liu Rengui attack. Almost all the bullets are missed.
The artillery shells fired pushed the U.S. military
The battleships were destroyed one by one. Originally, the ships designed after World War II were all such thin-skinned and big stuffing. That is to say, Lao Maozi once built some things that were relatively tough to beat. Even those battleships from World War II faced the terrifying kinetic energy of the Liu Rengui's guns.
It can also easily penetrate hundreds of millimeters of their armor belts.
So there were US warships fighting bravely, but like infantry charging on the battlefield, they would fall to the ground as soon as they were shot. There was no second outcome. The battleship Liu Rengui was like a god and demon, keeping the enemy on the lookout on the naval battlefield.
Invincible. In not much time, more than ten ships were destroyed and sunk by the heavy artillery of the battleship Liu Rengui.
When Commander Fargo of the NATO Asia-Pacific Theater Command saw this situation, there was no hope of victory at all, so he reluctantly ordered: "The 4th surface ship detachment will entangle and contain the enemy, and the remaining ships will leave the battlefield heading 0B0."
This order can be regarded as a heroic solution in unfavorable situations. However, the US fleet underestimated one problem, that is, the speed of Chinese ships. Such as the Type 62 aircraft carrier, Type 052 destroyer, Type 05 frigate and other previous generation Chinese navy main ships.
, the speed is almost the same as that of the main ships of Western navies, both in
About 3 knots. However, the new generation of Chinese battleships have adopted a new power system, and their speed has been qualitatively improved. Even the General-class battleships, Type 0ll arsenal ships, etc. have a high speed of 40 knots, which makes the pursuit battle more difficult.
, it is impossible for those ships with a speed of 3 knots to escape their pursuit.
The surface ships left behind by the US military did not encounter the Chinese battleships at all, because the Tianlong ship formation, which was previously besieged by the US military, had already turned around the Jilin aircraft carrier battle group, rushed to the sea area of fire, and participated in the final decisive battle against the US military. China
The carrier-based aircraft of the Naval Aviation launched an air attack on the fourth detachment of US surface ships left behind, and the Chinese battleships directly bypassed these US surface ships and headed towards the two aircraft carriers Constellation and Ford.
At such an urgent moment, Fargo and his colleagues used any method available to hinder the approach of the Chinese battleship. This 40-knot monster, with its equally monster arsenal ship Skyhawk, was as brave and invulnerable as
Knight, invincible on the ocean.
"Launch missiles at them, launch missiles at them and you will not let them get closer than one nautical mile." At this juncture, all captains of US cruisers and destroyers have realized that their ships must now be chess pieces that can sacrifice themselves.
"How many rounds have the guns of those Chinese battleships fired? Aren't the barrels overheated?" Some people still have this question in their panic.
"Idiot, it must be an electromagnetic gun that can shoot so far. I didn't expect that the Chinese have successfully developed such a powerful electromagnetic gun. People from the Naval Academy have long predicted that electromagnetic guns can change the mode of naval warfare, but why did they change the mode?
The Chinese are always the ones who do it. Aren’t American scientists known as the smartest? Why are they always pushed ahead by the Chinese?”
In fact, these officers and soldiers of the US Navy are also somewhat deified of China's General-class battleship. This 70,000-ton super battleship has been running on the ocean at a high speed of 40 knots for several hours, and is fighting with the weapon system in full operation.
After a few hours, even if the Shirakata electromagnetic gun has fired hundreds of rounds and can continue to operate, according to the combat manual, the weapons department also needs to inspect each component of the electromagnetic gun after stopping the attack, especially the electromagnetic gun's electromagnetic
guide.
The captain of the battleship Red Alert said silently: "We still have 2 minutes of combat time. In these 2 minutes, let more US military ships become artificial reefs on the seabed."
The radar department noncommissioned officer reported: "The course of the US military shows that they are heading east, possibly returning to Hawaii, or heading south to Australia."
The captain of the Red Alert judged: "It is too far to go back to Hawaii or Guam, and our attack submarines are likely to be ambushed along this journey. The U.S. carrier aviation force has suffered serious losses, and there is not even one out of ten left. With such a incomplete force,
fleet, it would be difficult for them to return intact to Hawaii or Guam. Relatively speaking, going south to New Caledo
Asia, or Australia is more likely. The US military can get a short rest, and our military strength is not enough to launch any offensive against Australia for the time being. As long as the US military slows down and mobilizes more fleets from the mainland
and military strength, they can still continue to maneuver with us in the Southwest Pacific."
Qi Yiming, who is far away in China, naturally sees this situation clearly, but he is obviously more confident: "If the US military retreats to New Caledonia or Australia, then the battle in the Southwest Pacific will basically be over.
We will immediately increase our troops to control Micronesia, Melanesia and Polynesia, cut off the Pacific Ocean and the connection between Australia and New Zealand, leaving Australia and New Zealand as isolated as India, and eventually our legions will be able to land on this land.
Take possession of this land."
Although the Australian continent is larger than India, a large area is covered with desert. The population and cities are mainly concentrated in the relatively mild and humid areas of the southwest. Australia has a small population of only 30 million, and its degree of militarization is even less.
China's powerful army only needs one or two heavily armed armies to sweep across Australia and completely defeat Australia before it is ready to come.
By then, another important ally of the United States has also been directly overthrown by China, and the United States is completely powerless in this regard. Just like the United States is powerless against India, which is about to be completely occupied, America's allies around the world will doubt the United States.
It will become more intense, so that some countries will not be able to withstand the pressure and eventually choose to withdraw from this war. The more NATO countries choose neutrality, the more powerless the United States will be, and the more likely it will be its final defeat.
