Chapter 1016: The Aircraft Carrier Got Slapped
The torpedo is a weapon that has been almost forgotten by later generations. Due to its special nature, although it has been little developed and few people mention it, it has never left the stage.
Veterans like Miller had a huge fear of torpedoes.
Because once you are targeted and locked by a torpedo, your electronic jamming methods will lose the advantage they had against missiles.
"Avoid..." Miller screamed subconsciously.
"General, we're already maneuvering to evade," Reyes said quickly.
The people on the aircraft carrier are not stupid and they won't wait foolishly at this time.
"Distance, speed..." Miller shouted again.
"Distance 18 kilometers, speed... 55 knots!"
"55 knots?"
Miller's face turned pale. "Sit, damn it, how come we only found it at this distance? Where did the torpedo come from with such a fast speed?"
Both numbers stunned Miller.
In his opinion, there would never be any enemy force that could get close to the aircraft carrier to this distance.
Are you kidding? Aircraft carriers are the absolute core strength of the fleet. How can they threaten others at this distance?
And the speed is 55 knots. Whose torpedo is so powerful? How do you expect an aircraft carrier to dodge it?
"General, there was a pirate torpedo boat behind us just now, but it's gone now and can't be found on the radar." Reyes said weakly.
"Damn pirates!" Miller went crazy when he learned that it was a torpedo boat attack. "That must be Zeng Wangcai. Only he has the ability to interfere with our radar!"
Miller naturally thought of interference and did not make any other guesses.
But even if he guessed it, it would be useless. If the aircraft carrier was attacked, no matter how it was attacked, Miller's days would be over.
Moreover, America’s dominant position is no longer secure.
The last one is Zeng Wangcai’s ultimate goal.
He wants to see to his fellow Americans that their boss is nothing special and even pirates can slap him in the face.
"General, the aircraft carrier has launched an interceptor..."
"Oh God, bless me!"
Miller had no recourse but to pray.
The distance of eighteen kilometers is neither long nor short.
But for Miller, every second felt like an eternity while he was waiting.
All of them stared at the radar screen, waiting for the final moment to arrive.
Suddenly, there was a sound of electricity that Miller and his team were familiar with, and then the screen was covered with snow and there was no signal.
"Fuck!" Miller yelled angrily.
It's already this late, how about a set?
"Go up to deck, General!" Reyes reminded cleverly.
Miller realized that this distance could be seen from the deck.
Go to the deck, use the telescope, and see it with the naked eye.
boom!
With a loud bang, a torpedo exploded far away from the aircraft carrier, proving that the aircraft carrier's interception method was effective.
On the Blue Bridge, amid the cheers of the officers, Miller's heart was still in a knot.
There are four torpedoes, and only one has exploded. There are still three to go.
But for them, it is a good thing after all. The aircraft carrier only needs to deal with one torpedo next.
Miller saw that the carrier was running at full speed, and he could also see the waves coming out from behind the torpedoes.
From his perspective and situation, there was no way for him to tell whether the aircraft carrier could dodge!
One thousand meters!
Five hundred meters!
boom!
boom!
boom!
Three explosions!
There were three holes in the sea surface, and the air pressure dug out three holes in the sea water.
Immediately afterwards, the two frigates disintegrated. The power of the fish demon spirit, even if it did not hit them directly, still resulted in a double kill!
But almost no one paid attention to the situation of the two frigates. All their attention was focused on the earlier outbreak.
Aircraft carrier is the foundation!
"General, dodged..." Reyes shouted in surprise.
But Miller's face was gloomy. In fact, he didn't need to look at the result. He knew from experience that with the power of the torpedo launched by Zeng Wangcai, the aircraft carrier could not avoid it at all.
Even if the frontal attack is avoided, the explosion of the torpedo will still affect the aircraft carrier.
Aircraft carriers may look extremely powerful, but they are actually quite fragile.
"Ah, damn it..." Reyes yelled again, his voice full of despair, "The aircraft carrier... was blown out with a big hole."
Through his telescope, the aircraft carrier did not catch fire like the other two frigates, and when the splashes of water caused by the explosion disappeared, his vision was unobstructed and he could see the extent of the damage to the aircraft carrier.
There was a big gash on the left side of the aircraft carrier's bow, just like a person being slapped in the face. Because the slap was so strong, the person's brow bone was broken.
The shaking aircraft carrier began to tilt, and from the Blue Bridge, it could be seen that fighter planes fell into the sea.
This time...the Americans suffered a great loss.
But these obvious battle losses are far less than the shaken status of the aircraft carrier caused by the bombing, especially the slap in the face by the so-called "pirates".
"Orders..." Miller's gloomy face turned pale again. He tried to calm himself down. "Rescue with all your strength. Retreat in formation. After the rescue is completed... retreat immediately and return to the home port."
Miller knew he was doomed, but his military professionalism prompted him to make the best judgment.
The aircraft carrier is unlikely to sink, which is a blessing in disguise for him.
Even so, there was no need for the entire fleet to stay here any longer. Not retreating would only be more embarrassing.
Miller didn't believe that Zeng Wangcai would take action. If that were the case, it would be equivalent to the start of S3.
His judgment was correct, Zeng Wangcai would indeed not take action.
Being able to defeat an aircraft carrier and reduce the number of aircraft carriers in the US fleet within a short period of time is already a remarkable achievement.
Zeng Wangcai also knew that if an all-out fight really broke out, our mother would not be able to win.
He thinks that the jokes on the Internet in later generations are actually very reasonable, that is, the one about how many aircraft carrier formations we have and how many 055s we have.
A fleet of four aircraft carriers, plus 16 Type 055s, can only achieve absolute self-protection at best, and their words can only count.
If we want to sweep across the world... we have to save at least one ship...
"Going home, damn!" Zeng Wangcai was very satisfied to be back on the street.
He took out his cell phone and called the distant city of Sijiu.
In the old city of Sijiu, the three old men Liu Yong stayed in the courtyard as usual. Even though Zeng Wangcai did not provide any live broadcast footage this time, they still waited here out of habit.
The satellite launch base on Wangye Island is still under construction, the satellite launch base in Jiuquan has just been planned, and the GLONASS materials have just reached the hands of experts. We currently do not have the ability to monitor the battlefield from space.
"Wow..." Liu Yong pressed the answer button. Knowing that there would be a result, his voice trembled a little, "You said... no matter what the result is, we can accept it!"
"Wahaha..." Zeng Wangcai responded with an unconcealed smug laugh. After laughing, Zeng Wangcai shouted, "From now on, the Southeast Asian waters are peaceful, and we have the final say... The Seventh Fleet ran away. I destroyed two of their frigates and made a big hole in their aircraft carrier. If they didn't run away, the aircraft carrier would have sunk."
Geek!
Liu Yong took two steps back, unable to stand steadily, stunned by the news. If Yang Mingyuan hadn't quickly caught him, he would have dropped his phone.
"What about...the Southeast Asian Combined Fleet?"
"Fuck, I forgot!"
