Chapter 730: The Powerful Fleet of the Jagged Army
After landing, the Iron-Blooded Army quickly formed several formations. They divided their troops and headed for important positions in several directions. At this time, the people of Boston were completely crazy. Not only did all their people join the army, but even the scientists fell into madness.
All kinds of incredible weapons are coming out one after another. In the moment of war crisis, they have no time for testing at all. After the new weapons are developed, they are directly put into mass production. As for whether they are useful, they can only go to the battlefield to test them.
At an airport in the Kharkiv region of the Cossack Empire, the tower commander stared dumbfounded at the spectacle in front of him. A fighter jet with a large delta-wing canard layout landed lightly on the runway. The aircraft only taxied during the entire landing.
It is only 800 meters, which is at least two-thirds shorter than the landing distance required by other active fighter jets of the Chinese Air Force.
"This..., this..., are the wings of this aircraft installed backwards? Why is its tail in the front?" the tower commander asked stammeringly.
Behind him was a liaison officer from the Iron-Blooded Army. The liaison officer smiled and said: "This is the latest Golden Eagle 6 fighter. It is only equipped with the Iron-blooded Army. It has not been equipped with the National Defense Force and the Guards. This wing
It’s not that it’s installed backwards. This is called a canard layout. This kind of aircraft has excellent flexibility in the air, and the take-off and landing distances have been shortened a lot. It is a quite advanced aircraft.”
It was not just the air force tower commander who was surprised. When the huge sixty-ton body of the Grizzly 5 tank approached, there was also a commotion among the Chinese Imperial Army. Although this tank was smaller than the Boston Empire,
The Maus tank is much smaller, but judging from its flexibility and large artillery caliber, I'm afraid its power is still superior to that of its opponent.
"Commander Gao, we meet again." Liu Mingzhao, commander-in-chief of the Iron Blood Army, walked up to him with a smile.
Gao Deyu came specifically to greet Liu Mingzhao. This time they came with four armies and more than two million troops. This was the first time in the history of the Iron Blood Army. This shows that Fang Xiaoyu attaches great importance to the Western Continent Front.
Gao Deyu was also from the Jagged Army. When he saw his old friend Liu Mingzhao jump out of the tank and come over to greet him, he also strode forward and hugged him excitedly: "Long time no see, old comrade-in-arms."
, you are finally here, we can launch a counterattack."
The two old comrades who reunited after a long separation hugged each other warmly and then separated. As they walked with Liu Mingzhao on the way to the headquarters, Gao Deyu asked: "Is the young master in good health? I haven't seen him for many years since he abdicated."
Get past him."
Liu Mingzhao nodded: "It's very good. The young master's health has always been the best, and he has never even been sick. Now even several other young masters and ladies have come out to do work. They are all very capable, just like Your Majesty.
"
Gao Deyu nodded and said: "Which of the young master's children is worse? Are you going to start a big move this time?"
Liu Mingzhao nodded: "Yes, the young master sent us here just to end the war as soon as possible. Not only the Western Continent, but also a large number of troops were sent to the Boston Empire battlefield. This time the Bostonians are in trouble."
The arrival of the Iron-Blooded Army made Howell immediately nervous, and he knew exactly what this meant. Fang Xiaoyu's return meant that the Chinese Empire had once again found its god, and the strong intervention of the Iron-blooded Army signaled that the Axis Powers Group had no longer
There is no chance of winning. What's more, during the investigation of the intelligence system, the Iron Blood Army not only used a large number of unheard-of new equipment, but also dispatched four huge aircraft carrier fleets and at least five million troops. With this force, it can be said that the Axis
The Group of Nations has no hope of winning.
What Howell didn't expect was that the first one to be hit was not his Central Army, or even any of the Axis group's army units. When a large number of the Iron-blooded army and air force rushed to the battlefield, the huge Iron-blooded army
The Home Fleet, together with the six aircraft carrier formations of the Eastern Ocean Fleet, passed through the canal of the Mid-Continent and entered the Tempest Ocean. Then they sailed north and soon arrived at the entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar.
Both sides of the strait are under the control of the Axis powers. Not only are there a large number of aircraft that can carry out air attacks on the fleet, but even shore artillery can block the strait. Therefore, in the past few years, except for submarines, the Chinese Navy's fleet was not
would come to this place, but the Iron Blood Army fleet came here without any scruples.
This operation has a heavy responsibility, and as a matter of course, Admiral Peng Dechao, the commander of the Iron-blooded Navy, personally sits on the flagship "Haitian" aircraft carrier. "Haitian" is the eighth ship of the "Sea King" class aircraft carrier.
The new generation aircraft carrier designed by itself is not equipped for the imperial army, so the naming does not use the national naming method. Its full load displacement reaches an astonishing 230,000 tons. The reason why it is so big is because this aircraft carrier uses
An unprecedented catamaran design.
The bridge of the aircraft carrier is set in the middle, with a main deck and an angled deck on each side. They can independently carry out aircraft maintenance, loading, take-off and landing. Each deck on both sides has three independent elevators, plus
Eight of the latest electromagnetic catapults have more than doubled the aircraft carrier's efficiency.
In the blank area before and after the bridge, ten new 1040-type Phalanx rapid-fire cannons and three experimental laser cannons are installed. However, their range is too short, less than three kilometers, and they can only be used as close-in defense artillery.
Used. In addition, many Hongqi 4-type air defense missiles are arranged around these close-in defense guns. They are also used for short-range air defense within tens of kilometers. These weapons are equipped with multiple radars installed on the bridge, especially in
Active phased array radars installed on all four sides of the upper part of the ship island are used for control.
In addition to these equipment, there is also a second deck at the stern of the ship. These two decks are specially used for helicopter takeoff and landing. They use the height difference with the main deck to set up the door of the helicopter hangar, so that the hangar can be used
Carrying a full eight anti-submarine helicopters on the aircraft carrier, they do not have to compete with fixed-wing aircraft for air landing on the main deck, which affects the efficiency of releasing fixed-wing aircraft.
The wide deck enhances take-off efficiency, and the use of metal hydrogen fusion reactors saves a lot of space for loading fuel and boilers. This allows the aircraft carrier to carry an astonishing 147 aircraft, and they will have more efficient operations.
The automatic navigation device provides guidance, which greatly improves the safety of aircraft landing.
Each aircraft carrier formation of the Iron Blood Army is equipped with four 'Sea King' class aircraft carriers. These sixteen aircraft carriers are divided into sixty-four 15,000-ton Canberra-class guided missile destroyers and ninety-six 5,300-ton Moore-class aircraft carriers.
Under the protection of the guided missile frigate, it sailed towards the east coast of the Prosperous Ocean.
Canberra-class guided missile destroyers and Moore-class guided missile frigates are equipped with active phased array radars. This radar system, called China Aegis, can scan a variety of air and sea targets with a radius of more than 300 kilometers and can track them simultaneously.
of one hundred targets and attack the twenty most threatening ones.
Both warships also use missile vertical launch systems. The difference is that the Canberra-class guided missile destroyer has 192 launch units, while the Moore-class guided missile frigate has only 48 units. At the same time, due to their different combat missions, they carry
The types of missiles are also different.
The Canberra-class guided missile destroyers carry anti-aircraft missiles, anti-ship missiles, cruise missiles and anti-submarine missiles, among which anti-aircraft missiles are the main ones. The Moore-class guided missile frigates not only have stronger sonar systems, but also mainly carry anti-submarine missiles.
, in addition, it also carries a lot of anti-submarine torpedoes, rocket depth bombs and other anti-submarine equipment elsewhere on the ship.
Although the Moore-class guided missile frigate has quite powerful anti-submarine capabilities and even has a towed array sonar, it is not the main anti-submarine force of the fleet, because there are also Sea Wolf 4 nuclear submarines under the water that cannot be seen.
.
This 138-meter-long nuclear-powered submarine has an underwater displacement of up to 14,335 tons. A nuclear fusion reactor and two steam turbines provide 70,000 horsepower, allowing it to
It reaches a speed of twenty-nine knots underwater.
The six launch tubes on the bow can launch a variety of guided torpedoes, anti-ship missiles and anti-aircraft missiles, making it possible to attack various enemies. What's even more frightening is that this submarine has almost unlimited endurance, and even
With the help of an electric oxygen generator, it can decompose water into oxygen and hydrogen, allowing the submarine to sail at a depth of 600 meters below the sea surface without supplementing oxygen at all, even under water.
At this moment, thirty-five Seawolf 4 nuclear submarines are one hundred nautical miles away from the fleet, spreading a huge anti-submarine network to monitor possible Axis submarines.
In addition to these main battleships, the Iron Blood Fleet also has more than 200 various warships including comprehensive supply ships, electronic command ships, hospital ships, amphibious assault ships, etc. In addition to these, there are many more that Feng Ju can't even name.
The famous warship came. Looking at the huge and sci-fi Iron-blooded fleet, Feng Ju let out bursts of emotion. For the first time, he felt that the performance of the Imperial Navy’s warships had lagged behind, and they had a great relationship with the Iron-blooded fleet.
Difference.
"Report to Commander, the satellite positioning is successful. We have arrived at the sea three hundred nautical miles away from the Strait of Gibraltar and request to start the combat mission." The communications staff informed Peng Dechao of the satellite data.
"What? The attack started three hundred nautical miles away. Our planes don't have enough time to stay in the air. Why don't we get closer?" Feng Ju, who was also on the flagship of the Iron Blood Army, suggested.
Peng Dechao smiled and said: "Old Feng, you still don't know how powerful the Iron Blood Army's new warships are. This distance is already quite close. If you get closer, you may be detected by the Axis' shore-based radar, and then the opponent's bombers will
