Amidst the sound of "duh", one missile after another took off into the air, and after these missiles, more launchers were fine-tuned under the operation of the trainees, amidst the rhythmic sound of "squeak, squeak, squeak" of mechanical transmission. direction, pointing toward the northwest night sky.
Each of the six latest guided missile destroyers is equipped with six six-unit missile launchers, all of which are equipped with the "Trident I" ship-to-ship missiles newly developed by Xuebing R&D Institute. This type of missile uses Xuebing's The latest "Zhenghe III" engine developed by the R&D Institute has a maximum range of 860 kilometers, a warhead weighing 181 kilograms, and is equipped with two sets of guidance systems: heat-seeking and wireless guidance. Under signal guidance, the precision strike capability is quite excellent.
"I think the most important reason why the 'French Guiana' naval battle has become a classic is that the Chinese army used a lot of new technologies and new weapons in this war to achieve real-time linkage between the front line and the rear through communication satellites;' The introduction of Trident missiles into actual combat; the ambush tactics in submarine tactics... I think if I were Truman, after getting the detailed data of this battle, I would make a smart choice to avoid the expansion of the war, because in terms of military In terms of technological strength, the United States at that time was actually far behind China..." This is a passage written by Yusco, a well-known French military historian in later generations, in his new book "The Second Pacific War" From these words, it is not difficult to draw the conclusion that when China and the United States officially started war, the gap in military strength between China and the United States had widened, and the reason why China was able to maintain its lead was due to its strong scientific and technological strength.
Tridents soared into the sky one after another, pulling out meteors one after another in the sky. Under the light of the meteors, the students in the mixed formation were all excited, feeling proud that their country had such a powerful force. pride.
"missile."
"Our missiles."
"This time, the Yankees' Atlantic fleet is finished."
The sentiments of the trainees were mainly pride, but there were also different voices. Some of them believed that sharp weapons like the trident should be used in more important battles. It is too early to take them out now. The Chinese Navy The existence of such voices among the cadets shows that they are not dazzled by the glorious achievements they have achieved, and know that in this world, the Chinese navy is far from being the only one in the world.
In Chongqing, Ouyang Yun could no longer sit still in the office. Since the sneak attack had begun, there was no need to keep it secret. He asked Pan Meiren to bring in a chart. Then, he also called Feng Yuxiang and others. , the sneak attack on the US Atlantic Fleet is of great significance. Whether it is successful or not will directly determine whether Brazil can become a thorn in the throat of the Americans, thereby successfully holding back the United States and preventing the Americans from going all out in the Pacific War.
"The United States alone has nothing to fear. With our current strength, it may not be realistic to attack its homeland, but it is certainly no problem to prevent them from entering the Pacific Ocean. What I am unsure about now is the Soviet Russians and the British When will people jump out? Therefore, since China and the United States will have a war sooner or later, if there is an opportunity to preemptively strike, we will do our best to do so."
The above is what Ouyang Yun said at a recent military meeting. From that day on, at least in the Chinese Supreme Command, it is no secret that a preemptive strike against the United States will be launched. However, when and where it will be, it is not a secret. It is still a thought-provoking question.
Therefore, when Feng Yuxiang and others burst in in a hurry, their first words were usually: "The fight has started, where is it?" Then, they saw the chart and saw what Ouyang Yun had marked on the chart. Feng Yuxiang and Deng Xihou first looked at the parameters carefully in silence, and then questioned in unison: "Is it too early to use the trident?"
As a new weapon that has just been developed, the trident has superior performance. Like Feng Yuxiang and Deng Xihou, they all believe that it should be classified as a secret weapon so that it can be used to its greatest effectiveness in the most critical situations.
Ouyang Yun's view on this is completely different from theirs. He believes that it is precisely because the Trident is so powerful and has considerable strategic deterrence that it can have a psychological shock on the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union, so that they can choose their side. It’s time to think twice before acting.
At this time, Ouyang Yun had completely immersed himself in this naval battle. He looked at the chart, drew circles on it with a pen, and said: "If I were Nimitz, when the fleet was attacked by missiles, The first response will definitely be to increase reconnaissance efforts in nearby waters and improve air defense and sea defense capabilities to avoid secondary raids. If this is the case, the Chinese sturgeon cluster and air strikes and sneak attacks by submarine forces will have a great impact. It seems that the success of this raid depends on the destructive ability of the trident..."
Judging from the post-war statistics, although the Trident attack caused some damage to the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, it did not achieve the expected effect. The problem lies in the radio guidance, or the number of trainings was too few, which resulted in The student pilot responsible for the terminal radio guidance mission had some deviations in the timing of intervention. In addition, when the Trident flew into the airspace of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, its speed had increased to the limit. It was relatively difficult to change the flight state. The above factors, As a result, of the 63 tridents that successfully reached the target sea area, less than 20 were successfully implemented with terminal guidance. In other words, only these less than 20 tridents successfully achieved precision strikes, and all the others were successfully targeted. It is a blind fire coverage strike, and its strike effect will naturally be greatly reduced.
According to the plan formulated by Ouyang Yun, Chen Shichang and others, the first wave of Trident fire must be able to paralyze at least more than 70% of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet's air defense firepower, so as to ensure that the Chinese Sturgeon Cluster responsible for the second wave of attacks can continue to attack as quickly as possible. The U.S. Atlantic Fleet entered uninhabited territory and launched a bombing campaign. After the Chinese sturgeon swarm almost destroyed the counterattack capability of the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, the submarine force could easily play the role of death reaper, selecting important targets to behead.
Facts have proved that Ouyang Yun and Chen Shichang took it for granted, and they made one wrong step after another, because the Trident launch failed to cause fatal damage to the anti-aircraft firepower of the Atlantic Fleet, which directly made the subsequent bombing of the Chinese sturgeon cluster extremely difficult. Of course, Because of the desperate struggle of the Chinese Sturgeon pilots, they still seriously damaged the weapon system of the Atlantic Fleet, but they also paid a heavy price for this. In this battle, only nine Chinese Sturgeons successfully returned home.
