I built an armada.

Chapter 808 Death is waving at him, he can’t stop it
Based on the principle of anticipating the enemy's weakness, the second wave of attacks was also put on the agenda.

Although the Third Combat Corps was not involved, the First and Second Combat Corps launched a salvo of anti-ship missiles, and the total number soared to nearly two hundred.

When combined with the first wave of attacks, the total number exceeded four hundred and fifty.

Such a large number of anti-ship missiles are not all carried by the 052-ton destroyers, but are mainly launched from other ships such as the 054D and the A frigates participating in the battle.

It is impossible for a warship to carry all anti-ship missiles. It is also equipped with anti-aircraft missiles and weapons such as rocket-propelled torpedoes to ensure that the warship has comprehensive combat capabilities.

In the main control room, Captain Chen stared at the radar display with a serious face. He had noticed every move of the carrier-based aircraft that had taken off from the Enterprise earlier.

At the same time, not far behind them, there were a number of green cursors representing their own fighter jets moving rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, rushing towards the battlefield.

Obviously, they were not fighting alone. The Air Force also got involved and formed a joint navy and air force combat posture with them to confront the powerful enemy, the Eagle Tribe aircraft carrier fleet.

The ensuing battle will surely be extremely fierce, as the enemy's carrier-based aircraft are hunting them down.

With the support of their own air force, the sky above their heads can always be guaranteed to be safe, and the enemy will not dare to act rashly.

At this time, the deputy captain beside him suddenly asked: "Captain, do we still need to prepare for the third wave of attacks?"

Captain Chen waved his hand and said directly: "In addition to the carrier-based aircraft launched by the Eagle Tribe's Enterprise aircraft carrier, the garrison base will definitely send fighter jets to support us."

"On the battlefield, there is also the Vulture aircraft carrier fleet, and the Carl aircraft carrier fleet coming from further away. Resupply is not easy. We cannot use up all our anti-ship missiles at once. The rest should be kept for emergency use."

"Tell all the ships that our air force has also joined the battle and they are on their way."

The comprehensive supply fleet that had previously supplied them has already returned. If they want to carry out a second comprehensive supply, it will take several hours.

Therefore, during this period of time, they could only rely on the weapons and ammunition carried on the ship.

As for food and the like, the previous supplies were enough to last until the end of the battle, but the amount of ammunition was limited, so they had to control its use.

Naval warfare is different from land warfare. Supply in naval warfare is extremely difficult, as the war relies entirely on the ammunition carried by the ships themselves. On land, it is different. After the battle, there is a continuous supply of logistics.

Four and a half minutes passed quickly, and the first wave of anti-ship missiles finally arrived at the target area.

The carrier-based aircraft that had taken off from the USS Enterprise earlier also launched a large number of air-to-air missiles from their positions, and those missiles finally encountered the anti-ship missiles.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

As the sounds of explosions rang out one after another, the night sky was lit up from time to time by the flames produced by the explosions, but was soon swallowed up by the night.

Only the smell of gunpowder that permeated the air lingered for a long time, bearing witness to the intensity of the conflict.

In any case, even if there were 36 carrier-based aircraft stranded in the air and all air-to-air missiles had been fired and many had been intercepted, they would be of no use at all in the subsequent battle.

In fact, they have missiles on the racks under their wings, but they are all for anti-ship purposes, with a maximum range of no more than 130 kilometers, and they can pose no threat to the Longxia Navy fleet!
Even though the first wave of interceptions had been carried out, a large number of anti-ship missiles still broke through the interception network and continued to rush towards the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet. The speed had soared to Mach 3 and reached the final sprint stage.

The main control room of the USS Condor is located inside the bridge, which has a good view and can also control the carrier-based aircraft on the deck. But now the portholes are broken, and the cool night breeze blows in through them from time to time.

Standing in front of the porthole, Captain Willis could see without the help of a telescope that the anti-ship missile that broke through the first line of interception was approaching at a very high speed, and even the tail flame could be seen.

For a moment, he looked dazed, as if he saw the Grim Reaper's scythe on his neck, ready to take his life at any time.

Seeing such a large number of incoming anti-ship missiles, Willis felt his scalp tingling and he felt like he had claustrophobia. It was so terrifying.

At the end of the sight, the dark night sky seemed to be lit up, and the fire quickly streaked across the sky like a fire star, quickly expanding from starlight into torches, and was still expanding.

Such a grand scene was beyond his imagination and something he had never seen in his first half of life.

If he had not seen it with his own eyes today, the super-saturation attack of anti-ship missiles would have remained only in theory, and would not be as intuitive as it is now. The sense of oppression made him feel a little suffocated.

Of course, if the captain of the aircraft carrier Fukuno, Chiaki Matsuda, were still alive, he would certainly be very familiar with this scene. The feeling of having one foot at the gate of hell has penetrated into his bones and engraved into his genes.

If Chiaki Matsuda was the captain of the USS Enterprise, he would certainly control the battleship to run wildly at the first moment. Even if he was escaping from the battlefield, he did not want to experience the situation of being bombarded by so many anti-ship missiles again.

Suddenly, as if touched by Chiaki Matsuda's soul, Willis couldn't help but recall the scene in his mind where the Fukuno aircraft carrier fleet encountered a joint attack by the Longxia Navy and the anti-ship missiles on Longzhua Island.

"The situation that Chiaki Matsuda faced back then should be similar to what I'm facing now, right?" Willis muttered to himself, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

At this moment, he had a sense of connection with the soul of Chiaki Matsuda who died in the battle, a sense of sharing life and death.

He even thought that if Matsuda Chiaki had not died in the battle, and if he could still survive the super-saturated attack of the Longxia Navy, he would definitely have a few drinks with the other party after returning to the port.

They had a common topic, which was to criticize the Longxia Navy for being unethical and launching a sudden attack. The key point was that the performance of the warships was so excellent and the anti-ship missiles were so powerful, but they did not dare to confront them head-on and instead adopted a sneak attack. It was really shameless.

Even if he died in the battle, he wanted Chiaki Matsuda to wait for him before he entered the gates of hell, and then they could walk hand in hand to the hell palace together, and along the way they would talk to each other about the torment and pain of the missile about to hit the ship.

"captain."

Suddenly, the deputy captain came up and said very seriously, "The anti-ship missiles are getting closer and closer to us. They have broken through the first interception network. From now on, we can only intercept them by ourselves. I hope we can survive this wave."

"Otherwise, we will all die here today. Even if reinforcements come, they can only collect our bodies!"

Willis was not clear about this situation. The Longxia Navy launched so many anti-ship missiles at one time, wasn't it to send them to the west?
Suppressing his panic, Willis said gloomily, "What is the current situation of anti-ship missiles?"

The radar monitor hurriedly checked the situation and then reported truthfully: "Captain, 72 missiles were intercepted in the first round, and there are still missiles left." "There are still missiles left!"

Willis's face looked even uglier, and his frown was so tight that it could almost pinch a mosquito to death.

There were 36 carrier-based aircraft stranded in the air, but they only intercepted a small number of them, not even half of them.

This is thanks to the high density of anti-ship missiles and the fact that their number has reached a certain scale. Otherwise, such an interception effect would be impossible.

A considerable number of them were hit by fragments produced by the explosion of other missiles during the explosion.

However, in this way, he also realized that the carrier-based aircraft stranded in the air were basically useless, and they could only serve as spectators watching the battlefield at most.

The deputy captain on the side was very satisfied with the result. After all, one third of the missiles were intercepted, which greatly reduced the air defense pressure of the affiliated ships.

"Captain, we have intercepted so many missiles, which is a very good result. After all, there are only so many air-to-air missiles on the carrier-based aircraft, and they have tried their best." The deputy captain comforted.

“I know they’re doing really well.”

Willis knew this, but he sighed helplessly, "There are so many anti-ship missiles, which puts a huge pressure on us."

With such a huge number of anti-ship missiles, if even just one of them breaks through the final air defense fire interception network, their ships will definitely suffer heavy losses!

What's more, with so many anti-ship missiles attacking at the same time, there will definitely be more than one anti-ship missile breaking through the interception network!

It is based on such considerations that he hopes that the carrier-based aircraft can intercept as many anti-ship missiles as possible, and it would be best if they can shoot down most of them. In this way, their pressure will be greatly reduced.

Because the deck of the aircraft carrier was hit and severely damaged, the carrier-based aircraft stranded in the air only had one chance to take action. Even though the aircraft carrier was stockpiled with a large number of air-to-air missiles, it was unable to reload the carrier-based aircraft as before.

Therefore, the current results are the maximum effectiveness that the carrier-based aircraft units stranded in the air can exert, and it can even be said to be an above-average performance.

"Okay, let's not dwell on this matter anymore."

Willis waved his hands helplessly, and the matter was over. "Go on."

Before the deputy captain could speak, the radar monitor urgently reported: "Captain, according to radar detection, the anti-ship missile is still 3 kilometers away from our fleet. The speed has reached Mach and it is expected to arrive in one and a half minutes."

"Only a hundred kilometers?"

Willis's frown suddenly relaxed a little.

This distance is enough for them to build two air defense fire interception networks, and the air defense missiles can be launched.

So he decisively issued a combat order: "Pass the order down, activate the fleet's air defense automatic interception system and enter a full interception state."

"Don't save ammunition. Our goal is to intercept as many of these damn anti-ship missiles as possible. The more we intercept, the less pressure we will have."

The last interception network is naturally composed of Phalanx and RAM short-range air defense missiles. The RAM short-range air defense missiles have a maximum range of ten kilometers, while the Phalanx close-in defense guns have a maximum range of five kilometers.

Once the anti-ship missiles enter this range, the two interception network weapon systems will automatically start the interception program, automatically lock and automatically open fire.

If the air defense missiles can intercept a large number of anti-ship missiles at the beginning, then even if the few remaining anti-ship missiles break through the air defense network and approach the dangerous area of ​​the warship, they will be able to shoot down those that slip through the net with a high probability.

"Yes!"

The communications corps immediately transmitted the relevant combat orders to the attached ships.

In an instant, the Ticonderoga cruiser and the Arleigh Burke destroyer were all thrown into the battle. The launch silo covers were opened, and one anti-aircraft missile after another burst out and rushed towards the target missile.

Fortunately, these warships are equipped with a large number of standard air defense missiles and have air defense and anti-missile capabilities, otherwise they would really be in tears.

"Whoosh, whoosh!"

The piercing sonic boom swept across the sea, causing severe pain in the brain and rupturing the eardrums. Without glass to block the sound, everyone in the main control room felt greatly tortured.

Just as Willis was watching his own ships launch anti-aircraft missiles for interception, but was still worried, suddenly he heard the radar monitor's extremely urgent and terrified shouts in his ears.

"It's bad, Captain, something big has happened."

This shout almost drove his soul away. Willis suddenly turned his head and stared at the radar monitor angrily, shouting: "What's wrong with you? What big thing has made you so confused?"

"Fuck, this is a matter of life and death. If you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't make such a fuss."

The radar monitor quickly adjusted his mood and reported: "Captain, look at the radar screen."

"Another incoming missile, no, the Longxia Navy opened fire again."

Willis said in horror: "What did you say? Say it again!"

He subconsciously looked at the deputy captain and his face turned pale.

The two men rushed to the radar screen almost like lightning, their pupils vibrated violently, and a chill ran from the soles of their feet through the coccyx to the top of their heads!

It's really horrible and it's endless. They are not allowed to survive at all!
