Two Realms: Don't call me evil!

"Commander, the enemy has too many missiles. Our air defense firepower network is unsustainable."

"Missiles. All of them."

"What kind of cruiser is this? What kind of monster have we provoked?"

In the command room on the bridge, not only was the fleet commander-in-chief Kumar stunned, but other senior officers also had despair in their eyes.

Such a number of missiles has exceeded the limit of their aircraft carrier formation's air defense firepower network, which also means that they cannot defend against such a terrifying number of missile rain.

"Fire all our missiles and rocket depth charges. The enemy has so many missiles, there must be a flaw in their own defenses."

As the commander-in-chief of the fleet, Kumar finally showed decisiveness at this time.

He gave orders with a fierce look in his eyes, hoping that his own anti-ship missiles could destroy the enemy ship as well.

In this way, the other side will not be able to continue launching missiles, and they may be able to survive with a few warships.

Through mutual destruction, even if they are sunk, they are not worthless, and the other side will also pay a price.

Under Kumar's strict orders and understanding the seriousness of the matter, the destroyers and frigates in the aircraft carrier formation opened their vertical missile launch units and released all of their own anti-ship missiles, ready to fight the enemy with bayonets to see who would be destroyed first.

But even though there are as many as 25 destroyers and frigates in the Indian aircraft carrier formation, the number of anti-ship missiles they fired is only over , which is far from comparable to the five Devourer-class cruisers.

But daring to fight back is one of the few highlights of India.

The two sides were more than a hundred miles apart. In modern naval battles, an attack at this distance would almost be as close as a bayonet drawing blood.

The blue sea was surging, seagulls were flying in the blue sky, and white missiles were flying two by two in the air, crossing each other and flying behind each other.

"air defense!"

"Short-range anti-aircraft missile launch!"

"Aim the close-in weapon system and fire hard!"

The huge naval fleet composed of the Argentine Navy went into full combat readiness in the face of the incoming missiles.

They tried their best to form an air defense firepower network, hoping to intercept as many incoming missiles as possible.

The INS Paknam, an improved version of the Kolkata-class destroyer, has a total length of 163 meters and a tonnage of 8000 tons. It is equipped with air-to-air missile systems, surface-to-surface missiles, torpedo tubes, medium- and short-range artillery, anti-submarine rockets and advanced electronic warfare and communication service systems. It is the largest destroyer currently in India.

At this time, on this destroyer with a full load displacement of 8000 tons, the Barak-70 air defense missiles with a range of 8 kilometers were constantly launched into the air, and the four AK-630 six-barrel 30mm machine guns forming the close-in firepower were also firing frantically, and the hot shells were scattered all over the deck.

And in front of us were Exocet anti-ship missiles and Swordfish anti-ship missiles approaching at subsonic and supersonic speeds.

The 4×-mounted air defense missiles were used up in an instant. They achieved some results, and many subsonic Exocet anti-ship missiles were shot down by air defense missiles.

boom!boom!boom!boom!boom!
But after the air defense missiles were cleared, the destroyer began to lose sight of the large number of anti-ship missiles that were coming in with great force.

At the bow of the USS Parknam destroyer, an Otto 76 mm naval gun continued to fire, providing timely support for air defense.

Although this Italian-made artillery has a small caliber, its rate of fire is incredibly high, capable of firing 120 shells per minute. It can not only attack surface ships and bombard land, but also take into account close-range anti-missile and air defense. The naval gun integrates radar, optoelectronics, computers and other equipment, can automatically track targets, and has autonomous air defense controlled by a computer.

From time to time, anti-ship missiles were exploded, some were detonated by anti-aircraft missiles, some were shot down by the barrage of close-in defense guns, and some were shot down by 76mm naval guns.

However, no matter how strong the air defense of the USS Parknam destroyer is, the number and speed of the incoming missiles are not as large as they are. Even the multi-level strike and defense system cannot stop such a large number of anti-ship missiles.

A Swordfish supersonic anti-ship missile penetrated the heavy firepower air defense network, and burst out at several times the speed of sound at the end, piercing straight into the bow of the USS Parknam destroyer, hitting the firing 76mm naval gun.

The missile's armor-piercing warhead tore through the warship's steel, the 76mm naval gun's gun mount armor was blown off, the entire gun was tilted by the impact, and the anti-ship missile went all the way down.

This 76mm naval gun can have such a high rate of fire thanks to its automatic ammunition supply system, so the ammunition supply compartment is completely open at this time, leaving it completely defenseless.

The Swordfish anti-ship missile crashed into the ammunition depot, and when the 900-kilogram warhead detonated after a brief delay, the violent explosion blew up the ammunition depot.

As many as a thousand 76mm shells exploded, and it was as if a volcano erupted inside the USS Parknam destroyer. The violent explosion directly blew off the bow of the ship and blew the 76mm naval gun turret into the air hundreds of meters high.

The critical strike of this anti-ship missile was like a sword being unsheathed, beheading the warship in one blow, cutting off the warship's capital.

A huge amount of seawater rushed in from the gap in the warship. Such structural damage has destroyed the main structure of the warship, and the injury is irreparable.

At the same time, in the explosion of the ammunition depot, the warship's two 30mm six-barreled machine guns were also damaged, and the 76mm naval gun was blown away. In addition, the anti-aircraft missiles had been used up, and the anti-aircraft firepower of the Parknam destroyer suddenly dropped sharply.

But at this time, the incoming anti-ship missiles had not yet stopped.

Without the blockade of anti-aircraft firepower, anti-ship missiles broke through one after another and penetrated into the hull of this 8000-ton destroyer.

Many crew members who were jumping into the sea to escape had just run to the side of the ship, but before they jumped into the sea, they saw white anti-ship missiles hitting them. Then the next second, as a large amount of TNT in the warhead exploded, human bodies were torn into pieces and flew into the sky.

Amid the continuous explosions, the steel was twisting and hideous holes appeared on the hull. It took the USS Parknam just 5 minutes and 18 seconds for it to completely sink into the sea, leaving only a whirlpool on the sea surface.

Of the 457 Indian navy members in the entire fleet, only 22 survived.

The sinking of the USS Parknam was like a signal. This most powerful destroyer has suffered the most anti-ship missile attacks and it also serves as the strongest air defense shield in this sea area.

Its sinking at this time caused a huge gap in the firepower network of the Indian aircraft carrier formation.

It's like a tight military formation being broken through. Once the gap appears, it will expand rapidly.

Unable to fill the gap in the anti-aircraft firepower of the USS Parknam, more anti-ship missiles made a breakthrough.

Close-in defense guns and naval guns have blind spots. The anti-ship missiles coming from the gap in the USS Parknam made it impossible for many destroyers and frigates to adjust their warships' postures in time for defense.

Boom!

The 7500-ton Cochin destroyer was hit in the middle of the hull by an Exocet anti-ship missile. The violent explosion destroyed the radar and electromechanical equipment on it.

Without radar, the destroyer's close-in defense guns and naval guns, which were controlled by computers, suddenly lost their combat flexibility, just like a blind person. Although they could be controlled manually, humans were no match for computers.

The anti-aircraft firepower of the Cochin destroyer was reduced by several levels, and two more anti-ship missiles successfully hit the target.

An anti-ship missile hit the rear of the ship, and the explosion directly destroyed most of the destroyer's power system. An anti-ship missile exploded at the waterline, causing a huge hole, seawater continued to pour in, and the Cochin destroyer began to tilt.

Even though the captain immediately ordered damage control and water injection, it was still useless. The warship slowly capsized on the sea, and a large number of Indian naval soldiers clung to the side of the warship and fell into the sea. However, after falling into the water, many Indian naval soldiers had no time to swim away, and their heads suddenly went dark.

The upside-down Cochin destroyer covered them and sank into the icy ocean with them amid their desperate screams.

The 3800-tonne frigate INS Brahma was right next to the Cochin and saw it sink.

At this time, the INS Brahma frigate was in chaos. Without the air defense of the INS Cochin destroyer, there was a serious gap in their air defense firepower at the rear of the ship. Unfortunately, their air defense missiles had been used up, and they could only watch as as many as a dozen anti-ship missiles, like iron needles attracted by a magnet, stabbed into the stern of their INS Brahma frigate one after another.

A dozen powerful anti-ship missiles are too powerful for even an aircraft carrier, not to mention their small 3800-ton frigate.

The Brama frigate became the third warship to sink on the battlefield, and it sank even faster. The entire warship was completely blown into scrap metal, the superstructure was completely blown away, the hull was torn into several sections, and it sank into the sea in less than a minute.

However, the Brama frigate will not be lonely, because several destroyers and frigates were sunk soon after, and the saturation missile bombardment made it impossible for their aircraft carrier formation's firepower network to defend against it.

When the gap appeared, the Vikrant aircraft carrier, which was located in the center of the fleet and was heavily protected, inevitably became the target of the attack.

A Swordfish anti-ship missile penetrated the aircraft carrier's own air defense firepower network and plunged into the deck of the aircraft carrier.

The strength of the deck steel that can support fighter jets' takeoff and landing is naturally very high, but this is not enough to face the armor-piercing warhead of the Swordfish anti-ship missile.

The Swordfish anti-ship missile pierced the flight deck, then penetrated the hangar and engine room, and finally exploded in the seawater desalination room.

The huge explosion shook the Vikrant aircraft carrier again and again, a fire broke out from inside the aircraft carrier, and thick smoke billowed from all around the aircraft carrier.

In the command room of the aircraft carrier's bridge, Kumar hit the corner of the table due to the vibration of the explosion, and a cut appeared on his forehead, with blood flowing out.

"Don't worry about me, go check on the aircraft carrier, quickly!"

Kumar pushed the medical soldier away and looked outside the bridge. On the sea, frigates and destroyers were either sinking or being hit by anti-ship missiles, causing serious damage.

The war had just begun and seven or eight warships had already been sunk, while the incoming anti-ship missiles continued to come in an endless stream, with no end in sight.

Kumar felt desperate, but then he thought of something and stared at the electronic screen.

The anti-ship missiles that their aircraft carrier formation had fired in counterattack not long ago had now reached the five stealth cruisers. This became his last hope, like the last straw that a drowning man grasped.

"Come with us into the ocean."

Kumar's face was grim. He knew that his fleet would be destroyed here today, but he had to drag these cruisers into the sea together.

However, the next image transmitted back from the drone's reconnaissance perspective directly shattered Kumar's last bit of fantasy.

Above the blue sea, a Devourer-class deep-diving cruiser had stopped launching anti-ship missiles and instead fired dense swarms of anti-aircraft missiles. In a blink of an eye, hundreds of anti-aircraft missiles were launched into the air and intercepted hundreds of kilometers away.

One anti-aircraft missile after another blew up the anti-ship missiles launched by the Indian Navy, but some anti-ship missiles broke through the interception and approached the Devourer-class cruiser further.

At the front of the Devourer-class cruiser, the deck cracked and a gun turret rose up.

It was a twin-mounted 203mm naval gun, which spewed out huge tongues of fire and fired special anti-aircraft anti-aircraft shells to intercept incoming missiles and create a barrage of bullets.

This type of naval gun has a larger caliber and a slower firing rate, but its air defense effect is very good. The anti-aircraft anti-aircraft shells weighing hundreds of kilograms are extremely powerful and can shoot down many anti-ship missiles. Only cruisers with sufficient tonnage can carry such large-caliber naval guns.

When the anti-ship missiles broke through, eight octopus-like living tentacles suddenly stretched out of the sea at the bottom of the cruiser, and balls of acid arrows and spider webs sprayed out from the ends of the tentacles.

The acid arrows were densely packed, and drops of acid arrows formed a rain curtain. They were incredibly corrosive. When they came into contact with the anti-ship missiles, they would corrode the missile body, destroy the precision equipment and gyroscope inside, and destroy the missile in mid-air.

The spider web automatically unfolds when it encounters air, extending to thousands of square meters, wrapping up the incoming missile, causing the missile to lose balance and plunge into the sea.

Anti-aircraft missiles are responsible for long-range air defense, 203mm twin-mounted naval guns are responsible for middle-range air defense, and acid and spider webs are responsible for short-range air defense. At this stage, almost no anti-ship missiles can break through.

In the end, only one anti-ship missile that escaped the net successfully broke through the firepower network, but the Indian missile was met with a full eight 1-barrel 11mm close-in defense guns.

A close-in defense gun adjusted its angle, and 11 gun barrels rotated, and a large number of barrages overwhelmed the lonely anti-ship missile.

Such scenes appear on every Devourer-class cruiser.

"This kind of warship, this kind of warship"

Kumar was shaking, his face was extremely pale, all his strength was drained from him, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence.

He thought that the cruiser, which was fragile and could be destroyed by a single missile, had such a complex and sophisticated fire defense system while being equipped with so many missiles.

Kumar didn't know that the five Devourer-class deep-diving cruisers carried more than three thousand missiles and torpedoes of various types.

Because of its streamlined crew, fuel and large amount of machinery, the Devourer class is a true arsenal ship. Its main feature is firepower first, and it can accommodate a large number of missiles and weapons and ammunition.

If Kumar fired all his missiles at a Devourer cruiser, he might be able to successfully break through the fire network.

But there is no regret medicine in this world. The aircraft carrier formation had fired all its anti-ship missiles and had completely lost the ability to launch a second round of attack.

"Commander, Commander, the damage control team was unable to put out the fire, and the fire spread to the ammunition depot. We chose to flood the ship. Now the No. 1 ammunition depot cannot be used."

The anxious shouts brought Kumar back to his senses. He raised his head, but instead of looking at the damage control mechanic's blackened face, he stared blankly at the sea ahead.

At this time in the sea, the main battleships of India were either sinking into the ocean or burning fiercely. The flames seemed to have ignited the sea, and countless naval soldiers were struggling in the sea.

Of the huge fleet of 30 warships that came with such a mighty force, only a handful of them are left.

In the entire ocean, there were only burning fires, sinking steel warships, whistling white missiles, and broken human bodies drifting with the waves.

"Our navy is finished, it's all finished!!!"

Kumar muttered to himself, and before he knew it, his face was wet with tears and he was crying bitterly.

The naval foundation that India had painstakingly built up over decades after its founding was lost in one day.

Unfortunately, the sea does not believe in tears, nor does it favor cowards. This is a game for the brave.

His tears seemed to ring the final death knell for India, because in his field of vision, several anti-ship missiles flew towards the Vikrant aircraft carrier. (End of this chapter)
