Chapter 1019: Cold Wind (Part 2)
If the Jason Dunham used his life to buy a glimmer of life for the Washington aircraft carrier, then the Lincoln, an aircraft carrier named after one of the greatest presidents in American history and one of the most tragic presidents,
Not having such good luck anymore, it seems like the Lincoln
The fate of the USS Lincoln was very similar, although only 8 anti-ship missiles finally rushed towards the USS Lincoln, and for unknown reasons, one of the missiles crossed the stern of the USS Lincoln and exploded about 12 meters away from the USS Lincoln.
, without causing any damage to the Lincoln.
However, 5 of the remaining 7 anti-ship missiles penetrated directly from the side of the Lincoln into the waterline and exploded violently, and two of them even penetrated from the same place. These 5
Three anti-ship missiles caused fatal damage to the Lincoln. Although the remaining two anti-ship missiles hit the deck of the Lincoln, it is no longer important! Because the Lincoln is irreparable!
What would happen if five explosives with a total charge of more than 3 and a half tons exploded inside a ship? Even an aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 100,000 tons would not work. The terrorist attack wave not only caused the Lincoln to sink but also was fatal.
The damage directly detonated the remaining repaired aircraft in the aircraft carrier's internal hangar, as well as a large number of carrier-based aircraft missiles! In the end, after trying to rescue the Lincoln for four hours, the rescue failed and was finally killed by Captain Carl.
Colonel Delong reluctantly ordered the ship to be abandoned!
After floating on the sea for more than 8 hours, the Lincoln aircraft carrier sank in the Black Sea about 80 kilometers away from the Crimea area at a depth of 1,100 meters. But this is all a story for another day, and at this moment, the matter has not yet happened
It's over, but now the first wave of attacks is coming to an end. Fortunately, the planes on the decks of the two aircraft carriers and the hangar have basically been released and flown into the sky. But at this moment, these usually tough men have red eyes, and many people are directly in the air.
I cried in the communication channel.
There were raging fires burning on the Lincoln and Washington below. For the pilots of these carrier-based aircraft, this aircraft carrier was no different from their home. After the first wave of missile attacks, the two complete aircraft carrier battle groups of the United States were already
Although there are only three ships that were broken into pieces and sunk directly, two Perry-class frigates and one Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer were blown to pieces. And almost every other ship was injured! Although it has not sunk yet,
But no one knows what the outcome will be.
The entire US military fleet has sunk. This is the largest loss for the United States since World War II. Looking at the two 100,000-ton aircraft carriers burning in the fire, everyone can feel the heavy mood.
The number of casualties is not known yet, but at this moment more than 500 naval officers and soldiers died on the two frigates alone.
The Burke-class was being rescued at the moment, and everyone was in grief. But just when the US military thought the attack was over, the US military theater commander William Gurtney had sat up straight again, except to say to
In addition to the Pentagon report, rescue orders were directly issued.
Order! Now the alert level of the entire theater has been raised again, and rescue work is now being carried out with all efforts, especially for the two aircraft carriers! In addition, the ground troops are ordered to enter an alert state immediately, and all troops are prepared for a sneak attack by the Russian army! Tell the ground troops that for the time being, they only have
Air Force air support is available!”
"In addition, I ordered that the air forces in Turkey and Ukraine immediately send fighter jets. The carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier should be running out of fuel. Let them find a place to land immediately and prepare for counterattack. Contact Turkey and Ukraine. Also,
The nearest ones are Romania and Bulgaria, and I ask their ships to join the rescue operation! All undamaged warships rush to the target area and establish a defense line! Let the supply ships and logistics ships quickly replenish ammunition!"
"Yes!" The entire theater headquarters passed all the orders in an orderly manner. At this moment, the US military's monitoring equipment was not paralyzed. After all, there were early warning aircraft flying in the sky. No movement of the Russian army was yet monitored.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as
If the Russian Air Force starts to counterattack next, the losses will be even greater! Although there are still many ships on the ground, the anti-aircraft missiles were almost exhausted in the previous wave. Although all the ammunition has been loaded,
There are no more than 200 ammunition available at this moment!
Moreover, although the fuel for carrier-based aircraft in the air can still last for a while, they cannot be allowed to stay in the sky. These pilots are emotionally unstable. Who knows what will happen. Air Force pilots must be sent there as soon as possible to replace them.
During this period, the airspace of the fleet was very empty, and even the early warning aircraft had to take risks and reduce the number of escorting fighter jets.
This is not the time to think about this. If the Russian Air Force launches a large-scale counterattack now, and if a group of bombers or torpedo planes come over, the U.S. Fifth Fleet may be delisted! This is the U.S. government and William Gert
Ni can't stand it!
Fortunately, there is nothing wrong now. The Air Force's flying units have taken off, but not many Air Force aircraft have been mobilized. More are bombers and transport aircraft. The number of fighter jets is less than one-third of the fleet, and now even these fleets
The pilots can still perform the mission, but they must land once.
Just when William Gurtney breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly the entire headquarters heard a harsh siren again, "Oh my God! Air strike!" After receiving the data transmitted back by the early warning aircraft, a radar operator said,
He suddenly exclaimed, and the atmosphere in the entire headquarters was suffocated. William Gurtney jumped up from his chair almost instantly, without caring about his own image, he pulled his collar fiercely and said loudly: "
Where?!"
"Report! The target is now less than 120 kilometers away from the USS Stennis aircraft carrier battle group! It is approaching at high speed! It is located directly south of the USS Stennis aircraft carrier battle group!" the radar operator reported loudly!
William Gurtney's vision went dark and he almost fainted, but he quickly stabilized his body and said loudly: "The number, location, and flying speed of the enemy planes! Also, why did the early warning plane break into the enemy plane 120 kilometers away?"
We were discovered within range! Notify the aircraft over the USS Lincoln and USS Washington for rapid support!”
"Report, the number of enemies is 50, and they are flying at ultra-low altitude. According to the radar cross section of the target, it should be T-50, a Russian stealth fighter! Oh, mygod! The enemy launched anti-ship missiles! A total of 100 anti-ship missiles!"
The radar operator immediately exclaimed!
William's eyes went dark. At this moment, the Stennis's escort fleet only left the three most basic guided missile destroyers and two frigates. The rest were all sent to the sea area where the two attacked aircraft carrier battle groups were located.
And it was the first time I got the news
They rushed over there in time, and now it’s too late for those ships to come back! Although they can launch interceptor missiles! But just now they have launched a round of interceptor missiles for the USS Washington and USS Lincoln aircraft carrier battle group. At this moment, the supply ship even
Haven’t had time to add yet!
Now the number of anti-ship missiles is seriously insufficient! No one expected that the other side would actually send a sneak attack force composed of 50 fighter jets to attack the USS Stennis aircraft carrier in the rear! "Tell the pilots of the fleet carrier-based aircraft! Let them send these to me.
Not a single one of the 50 fighter jets was left behind.
Come! I want them to be buried with you!" William Gurtney has no time to pay attention to the ending of the Stennis. This ending can be imagined. Although there are only 100 anti-ship missiles, everyone knows that at this moment
The Stennis's air defense strength is less than one-tenth of what it was in its heyday!
"Yes!" The signal soldier responsible for delivering the order also had red eyes! He didn't even have time to return the salute. He just yelled loudly and rushed directly to his post. When the order was given, it reached the ninth carrier-based air link of the Stennis.
When forming the formation, the eyes of all the pilots who had been crying just now turned red, like wild beasts that prey on people. The Ninth Carrier Air Wing was the carrier air wing on the Stennis.
Previously, in order to help the USS Washington and USS Lincoln defend against missile attacks, they all took off and rushed here. Only eight cruise carrier-based aircraft were left above the USS Stennis in the rear. But now the enemy actually went to sneak attack them.
went home, and as the Ninth Carrier Air Wing rushed over, there were also the Fifth Carrier Air Wing from the USS Washington, the former Kitty Hawk, and the Carrier Air Wing from the USS Lincoln.
Responsible for the air defense work of the following two aircraft carrier battle groups.
However, whether it is the Lincoln or the Stennis, only about half of the carrier-based aircraft have been replaced with the latest F47 carrier-based aircraft, and some F35s, both of which can keep up with the speed of the T-50.
, but the rest could not keep up with the cruising speed of these fighter jets, but they still turned on the afterburners and rushed over at the maximum speed. Anyway, they had just taken off not long ago, and the fuel on board was still sufficient.
However, the slower carrier-based aircraft in the back went directly south to intercept the 50 T-50s on their way back, because the 50 T-50s had been captured on the radar of the early warning aircraft. After launching the anti-ship missiles, they
The missile immediately began to turn around and escape, even the early warning aircraft over the U.S. fleet
They also began to fly in this direction to prevent the T-50 from escaping from the scanning range of the early warning aircraft. Fighters belonging to the Air Force that took off from Romania and other places began to surround the T-50 fighter directly from this direction. (To be completed.
