I built an armada.

Chapter 722: The Longxia Navy is crazy. This is not how war is fought.
He knew very well, judging from the experience of the previous round, that the Longxia Air Force was about to launch missile attacks!
Sure enough, before he finished his guess, he heard the radar monitor loudly report: "Captain, emergency, radar wave shaking Longxia Air Force fighter opened fire."

"It's the same combat method as before, firing missiles from a long distance."

Onodera Mai responded in a deep voice: "Very good. As long as they don't change their previous fighting methods, there will be no problem. We have tried our best."

They have uploaded the intelligence they discovered previously to the headquarters and notified all participating units. He believes that the Air Force must be fully aware of the situation and have made targeted combat plans for this purpose.

He would definitely not rush into the battle as he did at the beginning. If there was no preparation, then he would have no way out, after all, he was not a senior commander.

Of course, whether the higher-ups believe the information he passed on is another matter. At least he has made good use of his remaining energy and has a clear conscience!
"It will be fine. We will win."

Mai Onodera kept murmuring to herself, and at the same time she kept comforting herself in her heart that her abilities were limited, and she had done everything she could, and at least she had played her due role.

He admitted that he had not fought well in the previous battle, but now he was at the center of the battle between the two sides and he would immediately report any valuable intelligence he found.

The Longxia fighter was flying too fast and too high, so the Beifeng had no way of shooting it down.

As for the Longxia Navy, there has been no movement on the radar so far, and even if a ship-borne helicopter took off in the dark night, it could not be found, as if it had disappeared without a trace.

It would have been nice if there was some moonlight shining down from the sky, but the weather was not good. The thick clouds seemed to have wrapped the entire sea area in a thick quilt. You couldn't see your hand in front of you, and the sea and the night were merged into one.

He now found that apart from witnessing the fierce battle, he could not do anything else and could only wait for the results.

The first round of air combat took place as expected, with the result that the Longxia Navy also intervened, catching their air force off guard and causing extremely heavy losses.

Even so, they still didn't find any trace of the Longxia Navy on the radar!

"Next, it will be time for the navy to play its role."

“Everything was as we expected.”

Onodera Mai looked at the fast-moving traces of missiles on the radar and said complacently, as if she had already predicted that the second round of routines would be the same as the first round and there would be no changes.

Our side will definitely take corresponding countermeasures, and the final outcome will definitely not be a disastrous defeat for our side like the first round.

Now that we have fully understood the combat tactics of the Longxia tribe, we only need to be careful and take appropriate measures, and we will be able to control the losses within an acceptable range.

Even Mai Onodera felt that if his team won the second round, he and all the members of the Kitakaze should be awarded medals because they had made a huge contribution!
"Captain, something is wrong, the situation has changed!"

Just when he was dreaming, the radar monitor suddenly gave an urgent report.

"what's the situation?"

Mai Onodera immediately came to her senses and hurried forward.

He originally thought that there would be some unusual discoveries, but the result was still normal and nothing unexpected happened.

Just as he was about to blame the radar monitor, the other party said, "Captain, look here."

He was pointing at the cursor of a missile launched by the Longxia Navy that appeared on the radar display, his face full of seriousness.

"Captain, look at the trajectory of these missiles. They seem to be completely different from vertically launched anti-aircraft missiles. Instead, they show some flight characteristics of anti-ship missiles."

The radar monitor's words reminded Mai Onodera. He hurriedly stared at the radar carefully and sure enough, he found something unusual.

"Is this really not an anti-aircraft missile?"

Onodera Mai was obviously stunned for a moment, then quickly came to her senses and asked in great surprise, "Long, why is the Longxia Navy launching anti-ship missiles at this time?"

He had already seen that the flight trajectory was not what an anti-aircraft missile could have.

After all, an air defense missile is heading towards the sky from the time it is launched to the time it takes off and hits the target, but an anti-ship missile is different. It will turn in the air and then rush directly to the distance until it hits an enemy ship at sea.

"Captain, this is definitely an anti-ship missile. We have compared its flight trajectory with the relevant information we collected previously and it is confirmed."

The radar monitor said with certainty, but was very puzzled, "As for why they suddenly launched anti-ship missiles now, we can't judge."

"They must have a target when launching anti-ship missiles. Could it be that they are attacking us?"

Onodera Mai frowned tightly, completely unable to understand what the real intention of the Longxia Navy was at the moment. After all, the target of the anti-ship missile attack could not be displayed on the radar.

At this time, the radar monitor gave an extremely explosive news: "Captain, according to our analysis, the target of this batch of anti-ship missiles is very likely to be..."

Seeing that the other party's words stopped abruptly, Onodera Mai said impatiently: "Baga, what is the goal? Tell me quickly!"

"It could be the aircraft carrier fleet behind us!"

These words stunned Mai Onodera, who was unable to utter a word for a long time. She just felt her head buzzing, as if she had been hit hard by a stick.

The result of the second round of air combat has not yet come out, but the Longxia Navy actually took advantage of this time to take action and planned to give their aircraft carrier fleet an unexpected surprise. Are they crazy?

Shouldn't we cooperate with the Air Force at this time?
Onodera Mai was shocked, with countless doubts and confusions in her mind.

He really couldn't understand why the Longxia Navy would do this!
You must know that the level of fighter jets equipped by the Longxia Air Force is too poor. It has no way to fight against the coalition forces of the Eagle Tribe and the East Wilderness Tribe alone. The navy should look for favorable opportunities to attack at this time like it did in the first round. That is the normal combat routine.

And now, the Longxia Navy is attacking alone, ignoring the fighter jets of the Air Force?
Taking a different approach, launching a surprise attack on their aircraft carrier fleet, planning to destroy their aircraft carrier fleet first? Isn't the Longxia Navy's approach too wild? As the core equipment of a modern navy, aircraft carriers must be equipped with numerous warships for layered defense. How could a surprise attack be successful?
After monitoring that batch of anti-ship missiles, the engineers and missile experts on the Beifeng immediately conducted a detailed analysis of the trajectory and were 100% certain that the target of those missiles was their aircraft carrier fleet!
"Baga, the commanders of the Longxia Navy are just a bunch of idiots. It's such a crazy time, and they still dare to do such a crazy thing. Aren't they afraid of the consequences of a failed raid?"

"If you want to launch an attack on an aircraft carrier fleet 178 kilometers away without gaining air superiority, isn't this a waste of time and ammunition?"

"At such a long distance, do they really think our ships are useless and won't intercept them?"

Onodera Mai murmured to herself, but suddenly another guess came to her mind. Maybe the Longxia people were plotting something again, but he just couldn't think of it at the moment.

"Do you sense a conspiracy here? But I always feel something is wrong. The Longxia people are definitely not so stupid as to think of what I said."

Suddenly, Mai Onodera turned around, stared at the deputy captain with fiery eyes, and asked directly.

"Captain, shouldn't we now be speculating on whether the Longxia Navy is plotting something?" the deputy captain asked disapprovingly.

If the other person wasn't the captain, he would have looked at him as an idiot.

They were already in a state of war, so it was normal for the Longxia Navy to plot a conspiracy. Moreover, this was not something they could think of right now.

"You, you're right."

Mai Onodera reacted immediately and smiled awkwardly, very bitterly.

He understood that since he couldn't guess what tricks the Longxia Navy was playing, he might as well report the discovery to the headquarters as soon as possible and inform the aircraft carrier fleet so that they would be more vigilant.

Besides, even if they have reported the relevant information, it is not too late to consider what the conspiracy is. They have plenty of time anyway.

So, Onodera Mai hurriedly ordered the signalman: "Quick, tell Captain Matsuda Chiaki about our discovery here, immediately..."

Before Onodera Mai could finish giving the order, the radar monitor suddenly shouted loudly.

"Captain, according to the target detected by the radar, there is a missile flying in the northeast-northeast direction 41 kilometers southwest of our ship!"

"The speed has exceeded Mach 3. The number is being counted. 42, no, more than 81."

"According to computer analysis, the target is most likely our aircraft carrier fleet!"

boom!
Undoubtedly, this discovery was extremely explosive, comparable to a nuclear bomb, and it instantly made the entire main control room of the North Wind quiet down. It was so quiet that it was a little scary, with only the sound of the roar of the machine.

Previously, the Longxia Navy fired a wave of anti-ship missiles, and now another wave has come, which is naturally launched by the Second Combat Corps.

The reason for launching so many anti-ship missiles is naturally to launch a super-saturation attack on the aircraft carrier fleet.

Even if the aircraft carrier has escort warships, what does it matter? The super-saturated missile attack will consume the aircraft carrier fleet. As long as some of these anti-ship missiles break through the defense line, the aircraft carrier will be sunk!

In an age where discovery means destruction, there is no price to pay for this. The intensity of naval battles has long surpassed the days of naval gun battles.

As for the timing for the two combat corps to take action, there was no need for any further communication. They could just use artillery fire as a signal. No matter what, they just had to lock their target on the aircraft carrier fleet of the Donghuang tribe.

Besides, those who can serve as captains of 10,000-ton destroyers are all captains with extremely rich combat experience. They have either participated in many naval battles with Su Dingping, or are captains of affiliated ships that have participated in the battles.

Not only does he have a very high theoretical level and a quick mind, he also has rich combat experience and very tacit cooperation!

Once the target is set, you can decide the order of attack and control the details yourself. It will be enough as long as you can sink the enemy.

The First Combat Corps is about 250 kilometers away from the Donghuang Tribe's aircraft carrier fleet, while the Second Combat Corps is about 219 kilometers away.

There is still a distance of more than 30 kilometers between the two. They should be executed in order according to the distance. A short wait is enough to ensure that the anti-ship missiles arrive in the same wave.

The purpose of doing this is naturally to ensure that the anti-ship missiles launched by the two combat corps can reach the enemy aircraft carrier fleet one after another, thus forming fire coverage and enhancing the effect of fire attack.

If the time interval between two waves of missiles is too long, it will easily form a refueling tactic, which will not only cause many accidents but also fail to achieve the desired strike effect.

They wanted to destroy the Donghuang tribe’s aircraft carrier fleet in the second round of attacks. If all else failed, they had to deal a devastating blow to the aircraft carrier fleet in the shortest possible time, making it completely lose its combat capability!
Taking into account that the aircraft carrier has an escort fleet, it is calculated that about 180 anti-ship missiles are needed to consume the enemy's air defense firepower while ensuring that some of the breakthroughs are successful.

As long as one or two anti-ship missiles hit the deck of an enemy aircraft carrier, not only will the aircraft carrier be unusable for a short period of time, but the carrier-based aircraft parked on the deck will also suffer a devastating blow!

If the aircraft carrier is no longer useful, the combat effectiveness of the aircraft carrier fleet will be greatly weakened. It is no exaggeration to say that the combat effectiveness will be halved.

The remaining warships can only fight on their own on the basis of protecting the aircraft carrier from being sunk. They are far less powerful than the aircraft carrier fleet. Their combat effectiveness is even worse than that of the patrol fleet previously located in the waters near the Aleutian Islands.

The biggest core of an aircraft carrier fleet is the aircraft carrier, which is a huge mobile airport at sea. It has no combat capability itself and mainly relies on the carrier-based aircraft it carries.

As naval warfare nowadays involves ultra-long-range attacks, the survival of aircraft carriers increasingly depends on the fire protection provided by surrounding frigates and destroyers. Without their protection, the huge aircraft carriers themselves become sitting ducks.

Because the weapons and equipment carried by the aircraft carrier are only enough to attack some small incoming targets, terminal interception is the only last resort to save lives.

Mai Onodera on the Kitakaze naturally didn't know that the two corps had launched more than eighty-two missiles, and this was only the first wave of attacks.

The second wave of attacks came from anti-ship missiles launched by the Rocket Force on Longzhua Island.
