Chapter 1012: Air Defense Golden Bell
The missile was launched later, and the carrier-based aircraft of the Seventh Fleet took off first, and its speed was faster than that of YJ18.
Therefore, even if the ships turned, it would still be impossible to avoid the attack of carrier-based aircraft. However, the purpose of Zeng Wangcai's designation of this plan was not to allow the ships to avoid aircraft, but to create distance between them and the warships of the Seventh Fleet.
If we get any closer, we will have to accept the harpoon fire from the Seventh Fleet. Only a fool would do that. Even if it is an experiment, we cannot experiment with attacks that may exceed saturation, right?
With the speed of the six modified ships, it was easy to distance themselves from the Seventh Fleet.
"Oh, they're scared!" On the Blue Bridge command ship, Reyes shouted happily when he saw six ships turning around.
"Can it escape?" The enemy ship turned, and Miller thought his guess was confirmed.
All the attention here was on the six ships. The missiles flying close to the sea were not detected by their radars.
The missile flies close to the sea in order to avoid enemy radar. The American anti-ship Harpoon does the same thing, and does it more thoroughly.
The Harpoon has two terminal attack methods. One is to directly bombard the enemy ship horizontally. The other is that after approaching the target, the missile will soar into the sky in a very showy manner, dive down at an angle of seven degrees, and either directly bombard the enemy ship or detonate above the enemy ship.
Miller should not have made this mistake. He subconsciously thought that the six ships did not have the ability to attack at this distance, which led to his failure to discover YJ18.
A distance of several hundred kilometers is not a long distance for fighter jets, even though the speed of American carrier-based aircraft is not fast.
Soon the attack squadron sent by Miller advanced to a range of 300 kilometers from the six ships, reaching the first layer of air defense circle.
A standard 24+2 flying squadron, with a total of 26 fighters targeting six ships, can have 4 fighters assigned to each ship.
Miller obviously wanted to capture all six ships in one fell swoop, and this flying squadron was indeed allocated to attack all ships.
On the 055, Lin Fusheng, who was in charge of the command, gave an order in a deep voice: "All ships, the enemy aircraft has entered your first layer of defense circle. The No. ship of each team launches anti-aircraft missiles and opens fire immediately."
"receive......"
The three formations maneuvered and turned around and opened fire.
HQ9, to be more precise, is an improved version with a sea in the front.
This thing has been developed in China for many years, but there has been no major progress. Zeng Wangcai's equipment naturally comes from space.
Frankly speaking, the reason why Zeng Wangcai wanted to do this experiment was that he consulted many aspects and found out that our series was inferior to the Patriot series. He was worried that he would not be able to cope with emergencies if he was in a desperate situation.
But the improved HQ9 is definitely better than the Patriot which has just been put into service. But then again, what Zeng Wangcai wants to compare the HQ9 with is not the Patriot.
At this time, the HQ9 has a set of six rounds, with an interval of 5 seconds between each round. It can attack 3 to 6 targets at the same time with terminal guidance.
The reason why Zeng Wangcai wanted Lin Fusheng to take command was because of the final terminal guidance, and he needed to use street gliders to provide support to each ship.
On the Lanqiao ship, the Americans quickly captured the launch of the anti-aircraft missile.
Reyes yelled, "General, the enemy ship launched anti-aircraft missiles..."
"What? How is this possible?" Miller, who had just picked up his coffee and was about to take a sip, was shocked. "There are anti-aircraft missiles on the pirate ship?"
"General, it is indeed an anti-aircraft missile, and its speed reaches... Mach 6!"
"puff......"
Miller didn't spit out coffee, but a mouthful of blood. He said fiercely: "Damn it, that sinister guy actually deployed anti-aircraft missiles on the pirate ship. He is so willing to do that..."
Many years ago, America's proud black bird passed just over this area of the sea and was hit and fell by the Dongda Army.
Miller was not the commander at that time, but he also served in the Seventh Fleet and was deeply impressed by this incident.
Later it was reported that it was the missile battalion of the University of Tokyo who shot down the Blackbird, using the Soviet Union's SAM missile.
But during the last Blackbird crash, we were lucky enough to send back photos of a missile with the "HQ" icon. Later, the Americans focused on gathering intelligence in this area.
After so many years, the Americans have long marked the HQ series and have been on guard against it, not daring to send reconnaissance planes there again.
Now that the nightmare is unfolding, Miller just hopes that Zeng Wangcai is not so crazy as to give the pirates the most advanced missiles.
Miller was nervous, and Zeng Wangcai was also nervous.
When it came to actually controlling it, Zeng Wangcai realized that as a half-baked person, he was not capable of doing the micro-control work. If he had not been familiar with the connections in the space in advance, and if Jie Liuzi had not been smart enough, he would not even dare to carry out this experiment. After all, human life was at stake.
"Fuck, I'm so tired. It's not a good thing for people to have too many secrets." Zeng Wangcai sighed with a sore arm after completing the last step.
The street slicker cannot be handed over yet, this thing is too powerful, he can only rely on himself.
Three ships and eighteen missiles attacked their respective targets one after another. Zeng Wangcai did not specify that two missiles should attack one target repeatedly. He wanted to see the quality of the American fighter planes at a speed of Mach 6, and whether they could defeat two generations of fifth-generation aircrafts as they boasted in the movies.
In the distant sky, above the clouds that are invisible to the naked eye, rounds of martyrdom explosions occurred.
It was reflected on the radars of both sides that ten out of the eighteen missiles hit the target, and half of the 26 American fighter planes were destroyed in an instant.
Zeng Wangcai was not satisfied with the result of the battle. He didn't know whether it was his own problem or the problem of the weapon.
However, Miller on the Blue Bridge was furious. This was the second time in his military career that he suffered such a big loss, except for the confrontation with Zeng Wangcai.
"Raid, raid..." Miller was defeated, "Order the squadron to continue the raid and destroy all missiles..."
The battle damage made Miller furious, but also frightened him.
Oh my God, this is a monster. It can open fire at a range of 6 kilometers, which proves that their weapon system can detect farther. The speed of Mach is several times that of a fighter plane. How to hide from it?
He ordered a surprise attack and had the frigates continue the pursuit, ignoring the casualties, wanting to give it a try.
He knew that if he destroyed the enemy ship and obtained a set of its weapons, even if they were broken, his merits would far outweigh his faults.
"General, all the remaining 16 fighters were successfully launched..." Reyes soon reported the good news.
Miller could see through the radar that dozens of Tridents were hitting the target without any purpose.
"Kill them, kill them..." Miller clenched his fists nervously.
Similarly, Zeng Wangcai was also nervously watching the radar and encouraging himself: "I must do it, damn, I can't get beaten, losing my virginity will affect my confidence..."
"Attention all ships, the second layer of defense is activated, and missiles are launched..." Lin Fusheng gave the order again.
"receive......"
The second wave of anti-aircraft missiles was launched.
