Chapter 862 Launch of Yunfan II: The Situation Changes Unpredictably

This will also achieve another objective!
If the Eagle-class aircraft carrier is hit again this time, it will mean that the Dragon Summer Tribe has truly mastered the core technology of anti-ship ballistic missiles. From now on, the Eagle Tribe's aircraft carrier fleet will be under no-go zone within the range of this missile!

Just thinking about it made Captain Chen very excited, and he was even eager to implement it immediately.

Clearly, in his eyes, anti-ship ballistic missile technology is more exciting and more important than hijacking an aircraft carrier fleet; the two are simply incomparable!
"Reporting to the commander, the Third Combat Corps has been monitoring the movements of the USS Condor. Its exact location has been pinpointed and it can share its coordinates at any time."

Captain Chen quickly straightened his chest and reported truthfully, "Please rest assured, sir, we guarantee to complete the mission!"

"Okay, then it's up to you guys now."

After cutting off communication with Captain Chen, Xu Dongguo did not stop, but immediately contacted Su Dingping and issued the relevant combat missions to him.

Su Dingping, who had been eagerly anticipating the task, immediately accepted the order and said, "Yes, sir! I guarantee the mission will be completed flawlessly!"

He has personally conducted a comprehensive inspection of the Yunfan-2 anti-ship ballistic missile. All technical parameters are quite stable, and everything is ready. He is just waiting for the order to press the launch button.

At the same time, Captain Chen was not idle either. He immediately contacted Captain Dong and Captain Cao Youren of the Third Combat Corps.

At this moment, in a certain sea area within the territorial waters of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, the Third Combat Corps is patrolling. Inside the main control room of the 10,000-ton destroyer, however, is a different scene, with sailors maintaining a high level of vigilance at all times.

Just then, the communications officer urgently reported: "Reporting to the captain, Captain Chen requests to speak with you."

"Hey, this Old Chen is a bit strange. We've been contacting each other quite frequently. I wonder what's going on this time?" Cao Youren asked, his face full of surprise.

In this state of combat, especially given the perilous situation he faced in the waters of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, he would not communicate with the First and Second Combat Corps unless there was an urgent matter at hand. He had to ensure radio silence to the greatest extent possible and not reveal his position.

Even if you want to know the other party's true intentions, you can simply monitor their every move closely using radar.

After so many battles on the battlefield, they still have a high degree of tacit understanding!

"Old Chen, what's it about this time that you need to contact me? Don't you know that contacting me so frequently might reveal my location?"

After taking the communicator, Cao Youren couldn't help but complain, "The reconnaissance planes sent by the USS Condor are desperately trying to find my location. Are you trying to expose me?"

“The radio signals of our conversation are very easy to pick up.”

He maintained a high level of vigilance to prevent enemy reconnaissance activities and ensure that he could remain hidden.

"Stop complaining! I wouldn't want to contact you if it weren't for something important."

After retorting, Captain Chen quickly changed the subject, saying, "Old Cao, what are you getting so worked up about? There's nothing to worry about with the USS Condor."

"Headquarters is already planning to take action against the USS Condor, just like they did against the USS Enterprise."

Cao Youren was startled upon hearing this.

After a brief moment of shock, he became excited and decided to take down the USS Condor just like he did the USS Enterprise. Holy crap, he's really going too far.

The headquarters leaders really have big ambitions. If they destroy the USS Condor, the chief will probably go crazy and go berserk.

Next, Captain Chen explained the headquarters' next round of operational plans. Cao Youren finally understood that it was time for the USS Condor to suffer.

The reconnaissance planes that flew out probably won't be able to return; they'll become toothless tigers.

Cao Youren responded decisively, "Rest assured, my unit is ready and can begin at any time!"

After the communication ended, all his previous displeasure vanished without a trace, replaced by anticipation of hitting the USS Condor!

From the very beginning, the 10,000-ton destroyer has been eyeing the USS Condor!
In just a short time, the integrated naval military factory, nuclear missile research base, naval headquarters operations command center, and three frontline combat regiments all entered the established unified encrypted communication channel.

Su Dingping spoke first: "Old Cao, grant the radar takeover authority of the 10,000-ton destroyer. I will connect and ensure the link is established."

In this way, even if he is not fighting on the front line, he can still monitor the movements of the USS Condor and make corrections to the trajectory at any time to ensure that the missile hits its target!
Having gained experience from the first test launch of the Yunfan III anti-ship ballistic missile, Su Dingping had already mastered the entire attack process, achieving a smooth and efficient workflow. This time, he was naturally even more proficient.

This process will naturally be transferred to the Rocket Force, and with the development of military technology, satellite monitoring and drone surveillance will be added to further enhance the targeting of aircraft carriers.

Soon, all radar data from the 10,000-ton destroyers in the three combat corps, as well as the other ships, were connected to the data center of the nuclear weapons research center. The coordinates of the USS Condor aircraft carrier monitored from different angles were integrated and all of them were entered into the computer of the Yunfan-2 anti-ship ballistic missile.

"Sir, we need to calculate and load the data here, which will take about three minutes."

After reviewing the relevant data, Su Dingping reported truthfully that the time required was naturally longer due to technological limitations, but the successful hit of the Yunfan-3 anti-ship ballistic missile on its target had proven its usability.

"Dingping, proceed at your own pace. Alright, fire in three minutes!" Xu Dongguo said.

"Yes, Chief!"

Su Dingping immediately got busy, verifying and filling in the relevant data.

Meanwhile, in the waters near the Pacific Ocean in the Eastern Wilderness Tribe area, the Condor aircraft carrier fleet has advanced into this area after a rapid voyage.

They maintained their speed and sped towards the sea area where the USS Enterprise was located. They had received a direct order to reach the battlefield and provide support as quickly as possible!

The carrier-based aircraft that had previously launched to provide support had been blocked by the Third Combat Group, so it was impossible to let it go so easily. Instead, they continued to provide support by advancing at sea.

In their view, as long as the two carrier fleets joined forces, the predicament faced by the Enterprise would be easily resolved, and they would be able to turn the tide, completely crush the Dragon Xia Navy, and wash away the shame! In the main control room, Captain Douglas glanced at the target dynamics on the radar display, but it was still perfectly clear.

"Have the reconnaissance planes already spotted the Longxia naval fleet?" Douglas asked expressionlessly.

He has already dispatched multiple reconnaissance aircraft, but so far there has been no news back, which makes him very unhappy.

Even though the question had been asked many times, the communications officer still answered truthfully: "Reporting to the captain, the reconnaissance aircraft has just flown out of our radar's maximum detection range and is getting closer and closer to the sea area we previously estimated."

"Based on the distance between the two sides, it will probably take another three minutes."

With only three minutes left, Douglas's mood wasn't so bad anymore; he just had an even stronger obsession with destroying the Dragonxia Navy fleet!
That's right. Ever since his relief squadron was blocked and several carrier-based aircraft were lost, he has been thinking about finding the Longxia Navy fleet and wiping it out completely!

"okay, I get it."

Douglas gritted his teeth and gave the order, "Pass down the order: once the Longxia Navy fleet is spotted, lock on immediately and launch Tomahawk cruise missiles to sink them all."

"I want the Dragon Xia Navy to know that the Eagle Tribe Navy still reigns supreme on this ocean!"

The communications officer immediately replied, "Yes, Captain."

The relevant orders were quickly relayed to the auxiliary ships of the USS Condor carrier fleet.

The presence of these escort vessels not only provides escort for the aircraft carrier, but also undertakes the tasks of attacking the aircraft carrier against ships, air forces, and submarines.

As for the aircraft carrier itself, despite its 100,000-ton displacement, it does not possess long-range strike capabilities. The weapons it carries are all for self-defense, such as close-in weapon systems like close-in defense guns and Sea Sparrow close-in defense missiles.

At this moment, the night on the sea grew even darker, the waves continued to roll, and dark clouds even shrouded the sky, while the atmosphere on the battlefield became increasingly tense.

Douglas was unaware that Su Dingping was using a second anti-ship ballistic missile aimed at the USS Condor.

At the same time, the Longxia Tribe's integrated naval military factory and nuclear missile research base.

On the empty launch site, a robust missile stood imposingly on the launcher, radiating an intangible aura of dominance!

"boom!"

With the ignition command given, the Yunfan-2 anti-ship ballistic missile spewed out scorching flames from its base, unleashing a powerful thrust that sent the missile hurtling towards the sky, piercing the heavens.

Its speed increased rapidly, and soon it transformed into a fiery meteor in the night sky, streaking across the horizon and flying into the distance, disappearing from people's sight in the blink of an eye.

In the sky, invisible to the naked eye, the Yunfan-2 anti-ship ballistic missile flew faster and faster, like an arrow released from a bow, carrying ever-increasing power.

Meanwhile, as time went on, the reconnaissance aircraft still hadn't transmitted any more data. In the main control room of the USS Condor, Captain Douglas paced back and forth.

The deputy captain just reported that after the supporting carrier air wing was ambushed by the Longxia Navy, the rest of them landed successfully, and the pilots have entered a rest period.

On the extra-large and spacious flat deck, many carrier-based aircraft were still taking off to take over from the aircraft that were already carrying out patrol and surveillance missions in the air.

Except in special circumstances, when an aircraft carrier fleet enters the battlefield, it will launch reconnaissance aircraft and carrier-based aircraft to carry out patrol and guard missions to ensure that the aircraft carrier fleet is always in a safe environment.

Douglas could not have a moment's peace until he found the ambush site of the Longxia Navy fleet; his heart was always in suspense!
In fact, before this, he had not taken the naval forces in the entire East Continent sea area seriously, especially the Dragon Xia Navy, which he despised as a naval force that was not even as good as the East Wilderness Sea Self-Defense Force.

After all, in the previous maritime conflicts, the Enterprise carrier strike group was always at the forefront, while he stayed at home to rest and did not carry out any combat missions.

The most recent combat mission I participated in was the modern war that the Eagle Tribe, together with many Western allies, fought in, which shocked the entire Blue Star. They defeated the million-strong army of the Kei Tribe, a steel torrent that fled in disarray.

It can be said that he fought the most exhilarating and satisfying war.

Moreover, the Eagle Tribe's navy has always been the strongest on Earth. With all these factors combined, he had no reason not to be proud and excited.

In contrast, Longxia Navy, in his impression, was equipped with old ships and submarines that were extremely noisy, whose sound could be easily detected and located from thousands of kilometers away.

Even though several naval battles have been fought recently, the opponents have been either the Eastern Wilderness Maritime Self-Defense Force or the combined fleet of the three countries led by the Thousand Buddha Tribe.

Whether it's the aircraft carrier fleet of the Eastern Wilderness Maritime Self-Defense Force or the combined fleet of the three countries, even if the two are combined, they are no match for the Eagle Tribe Navy, so he naturally didn't take them seriously.

They even felt that paying attention to the growth of the Longxia Navy was a waste of time.

It can be said that before arriving at the waters of the Eastern Wilderness Tribe, Douglas still looked down on the Dragon Xia Navy. Moreover, the Dragon Xia Navy's already weak naval power had also sent a portion of its forces on an expedition to the waters of Europe.

Therefore, in his view, dealing with the Longxia Navy was a piece of cake and a piece of cake.

"The Longxia Navy is trash. It's only a matter of time before we wipe them all out."

That was Douglas's thought, his face filled with arrogance, as if he had already trampled the Dragon Xia Navy under his feet.

If, under these circumstances, someone suddenly told him that the Longxia Navy within the Eastern Continent's sea area was already very strong and that he should be careful, he would definitely give that guy a good dressing down!

This is purely a disruptive act that boosts the morale of others while diminishing one's own, and it undermines the morale of his troops.

However, Douglas would never have known that the Condor carrier fleet had received news of a disastrous defeat in the Eastern Wilderness before it even reached the waters related to the Eastern Wilderness tribe!
