Warship of Great Power Chapter 606

  Chapter 606 The backfire is coming!

  Shuangsha Island Base.

  The early warning aircraft with the mushroom plate above its head slid to the tarmac, and a row of soldiers ran over, armed with live ammunition, standing guard.

  Although a hangar has been built here, it is prepared for fighter jets after all. Big guys like KJ-2000 cannot be dragged into the hangar, but can only be stored in the open air.

  The cabins were opened, and a group of soldiers in Air Force uniforms came down inside, as well as some technicians in work clothes.

   "Old Wang, how do you feel?" A gray-haired old man looked at the person next to him: "Is your body still able to bear it? You don't need to go back and forth, just stay at the 14th."

"Old Lin, how can I rest assured? Although this early warning aircraft has been tested for several months, it has not been tested in actual combat after all. No one knows what accidents will be encountered. As the general design of the early warning aircraft Master, I have to be on the scene. But you, why did you come with me?"

"Of course I'm coming, and our air force will take off to fight at any time." Elder Lin said, "I have to come here in advance to familiarize myself with the environment. The navy only has a few J-15s, and there are no decent third-generation aircraft. , we still need our air force to take action, I think it is no problem for an aviation regiment of Su-27 to be stationed at this base."

The Shuangsha Island base was the first to be reclaimed from the sea, and then various infrastructure constructions were carried out, and the settings became more and more complete. However, in order to avoid stimulating neighboring countries, there was no large-scale deployment of fighters here. Moreover, due to the navy's Funds are limited, and the naval aviation is still dominated by J-7, J-8 and Flying Leopards. The real third-generation fighters, that is, those J-15s on the aircraft carrier, if they really fight, the Air Force's fighters will still take the lead.

  Old Lin obviously had a purpose. If an aviation regiment's Su-27 was really transferred, it is estimated that they would not evacuate in the future, and this base would be reserved for the Air Force.

   In the sky, the roar was still ringing, and two escorting Su-27 fighter planes landed. Since the air force's early warning aircraft was to be requisitioned, the **** planes were of course also from the air force.

   "Everyone, please go to the restaurant at the base to have a meal. We have received an order to entertain you according to the standards of pilots." The commander of the base guard force greeted them.

   "Pilot's standard? Okay, what delicious food do you have here?" Elder Lin asked with a smile.

   "The most indispensable thing here is seafood. There is a lot of seafood raised in Shuangsha Island Fishing Tourist Village. Although it is farmed, it is soaked in sea water. It tastes the same as wild. You can feast on it."

Although the scenery is nice, after all, it is right on the sea, and the humidity is too high, so it is impossible for soldiers from the land to stay on the island for a long time. It was Zhao Heping, a soldier who went to the island twice.

  Before he was stationed on the island, he didn't have any missions. It was like entering a kingdom without stories. Every day was a repetition of the previous day. How could he not be excited when the mission came suddenly this time?

   "Okay, let's go eat seafood!" Boss Lin waved his hand.

  The night slowly covered the sea, and the island gradually fell asleep. At some point, the rumbling sound sounded again.

  Zhao Heping stood on the tarmac, watching the outline of the plane appearing in the dark, watching the plane land on the center line of the runway with runway lights on. When he saw the plane clearly, his eyes almost fell out of surprise.

   "This shouldn't be Hong Liu!"

  The higher-ups issued instructions that a large number of aircraft fleets would be stationed. In addition to early warning aircraft, there would also be bomber units, and asked them to prepare the largest hangar.

  Although I didn't say anything, there are not many models in China, and the largest hangar is needed, which must be the H-6!

  Who would have thought that the one who came down was nothing like Hong Liu!

   Huge rectangular air intake, spread out wings, huge tail, this big guy, is... Tu-22M?

  I heard that in recent years, China has been in contact with Lao Maozi to purchase Lao Maozi's advanced Tu-22M supersonic bomber. It seems that this transaction has already been carried out!

   "Everyone pay attention to the discipline of secrecy, no matter what planes are coming to the base, pretend not to know, let alone go out and talk nonsense!"

   "Yes." The soldiers next to him quickly answered, their eyes were still looking at the huge plane, can it be stuffed into the hangar?

  The second plane and the third plane fell in turn. With the help of the tractor, the first plane had already driven to the door of the hangar. I saw the wings of this plane slowly turning backwards, greatly reducing the wingspan!

  The soldiers guarding the hangar were extremely shocked.

  Three H-6Js slid into the hangar one by one, and the base returned to calm.

  Last year, I showed off my muscles by using ballistic missiles to hit moving targets at sea. If I show off my muscles again this year, I have to change it! This time, relying on absolute strength, even if you don't need a big killer, you can still deter the opponent.

  This night, many people are destined to have no sleep.

"It's too dangerous to continue sailing. I think we should stay on the high seas." Rupert finally couldn't help but speak: "With the help of that early warning aircraft, our every move will be seen by the other party. "

  Brown's face is also very ugly: "Then how do we achieve the goal of coming here? If our surface formation cannot enter, how about sending a nuclear submarine there?"

  Rupert broke out in a cold sweat: "Your Excellency Brown, if none of our surface ships can enter that sea area, it will be even more dangerous to send nuclear submarines there!"

  Are you kidding, do you think this is the country of crying?

The Orientals have powerful anti-submarine capabilities. Almost every warship carries anti-submarine helicopters and advanced towed sonar. If you send a submarine there, you will be courting death. Moreover, there are hidden reefs everywhere in that sea area. Conventional submarines may bottom out, but nuclear submarines are even more difficult.

   No, absolutely not!

   "Then let's hang around outside? No, absolutely not!" Brown has a strong sense of self-esteem in his heart, and he will never tolerate staying here and hanging around obediently. How will the outside world publicize it? Your side was frightened away by the aircraft carrier formation of the Orientals?

   "Sail according to the original plan!" Brown finally made a decision.

  Rupert has no choice but to continue sailing. By tomorrow day, they will officially enter the southern waters. At least this night will be safe. Tomorrow, let fate do it.

   Rupert was restless and couldn't sleep all night.

  During the night, the wind and waves got a bit strong, and the 20,000-ton aircraft carrier was also shaking from side to side. Listening to the sound of the waves beating against the side of the ship, Rupert's mind kept flashing question marks.

  Why doesn't your country have a powerful aircraft carrier? Why is the sea power of the Easterners getting stronger and stronger?

Finally, in the early morning, Rupert fell asleep in a daze, so he didn't experience the next scene, he could only hear it from his subordinates, even if he heard it, it was enough to make him He was terrified.

   The first mate Drake was on duty on the ship island, and he was also in a state of fatigue at this time, yawning non-stop.

  The eastern sky began to turn slightly white, and it was another day. Today, they are about to enter the predetermined sea area, and various conflicts may occur.

In order to cope with the situation that may arise next, most of the personnel on the warship are resting and recharging their energy. Drake is also looking forward to the shift time. He glanced at the navigation clock. Need to boil another hour.

  Drake stood up from his seat, intending to go to the back and get a cup of coffee to refresh himself.

  The layout of bridges in different countries is different. There are seats everywhere on their bridge, not because of their poor physical fitness, but because their duty methods are different. The duty shift system left over from the ancient tradition is a two-shift system, that is to say, 6 6 hours break per hour, two rounds of work breaks a day.

  Most countries in the world use the three-shift system, with 3 rounds of rest on duty a day, that is, 4 hours of work and 4 hours of rest. There is even a more frequent four-shift system, that is, there are 4 rounds of rest on duty a day, that is, 3 hours of work and 3 hours of rest.

   I only work for three hours at a time, so it's no problem standing up and sailing, but if it takes six hours, standing is too tiring.

   Just as Drake was walking backwards, he heard a rumbling sound from the distant sea, like thunder.

  So, curiously, he came to the leftmost end of the ship island. From the porthole here, he can have the best view, and he can see everything around him.

  The deck was empty, and there were no planes in the takeoff and landing area. Only a few Sea Harriers and two Sea King helicopters were parked in the parking area around the island.

  The roaring sound in the distance is getting closer and closer.

How is this going?

On a Type 42 destroyer at the rear of the formation, the lookout post was performing his duties conscientiously, so he was the first person in the formation to visually spot the flying fleet. When he heard the roar, he immediately He raised his vigilance, and in the gray sky, he saw three targets flying towards him at high speed!

what is that?

  He can be sure that it is definitely not the Sea Harrier. The Sea Harrier fighter jets are not flying in such a large formation. Listening to the sound, it looks like their victory bomber, the oldest bomber in the 1960s and 1970s.

  Getting closer, getting closer, he finally saw the silhouette of the flying fighter plane, and when he saw the huge rectangular air inlet clearly, he immediately shouted: "Attention, three MiG-25s!"

   We can't blame him for having long hair but short knowledge. After all, the MiG-25 and Tu-22M are too similar. Although there is a big difference in size, if you look at it from a distance, you can't tell the difference based on the size if you don't know the exact distance.

  At this moment, he was a little confused.

  MiG-25, where did the MiG-25 come from?

This kind of aircraft used to be all-powerful, and it used to make the West tremble. It was not until Belenko defected that the West knew that this double-three fighter was made of stainless steel, and it was no longer afraid. With the green light, you can finally export and earn foreign exchange!

   Many countries have purchased the MiG-25, but in the current sea area, no country uses this fighter!

   And it is impossible for this fighter to take off and land from an aircraft carrier, so where did it come from?

   At this time, the lookout post was surprised, but he still quickly notified the entire fleet of his discovery.

  MiG-25, there are three MiG-25s flying over!

  The siren echoed on the warship, but it was meaningless!

  In this kind of field of vision, the distance to the plane can be seen clearly, only a few kilometers away. At the same time when the lookout post quickly reported after the visual discovery, the three MiG-25s had already flown over their heads!

   "Attention, pass at full speed!"

  The formation commander flying from the sky shouted loudly.

   Following his shout, the three planes turned on afterburner.

  The engine at the tail burns rapidly and surgingly, hot flames are ejected from the tail nozzle, and the huge bomber is accelerating rapidly!

  The wings on both sides swept back quickly, which looked so spectacular that the lookout post was dumbfounded.

   Drake was stunned, he watched the wings of the three planes turn in surprise, and amidst the sound of the air defense siren, he let out a roar.

   "Damn it, this is not MiG-25, this is Tu-22M! What does Da Mao want to do?"

Of course he knew that Da Mao's naval forces were still stationed at the nearby Cam Ranh Bay base in the Monkey Kingdom. Although he had never heard of Da Mao deploying Tu-22M bombers there, but now that he saw this kind of aircraft, he would do nothing. Most likely, it must have flown from Cam Ranh Bay!

  Damn Da Mao!

In the era of the Red Empire, Lao Maozi continued to expand outward. After all, for any empire, if it stops expanding, it means declining. In the Pacific Ocean, Lao Maozi is also aggressive, not only with dual aircraft carriers The fleet also got the Cam Ranh Bay base from Monkey.

  Unfortunately, without a strong economic foundation, a strong national defense cannot be supported. The sudden collapse of the Red Empire is extremely embarrassing.

After the collapse of the Red Empire, Da Mao, who had inherited the mantle, was still struggling to restore the former glory, but their strength was getting weaker and weaker. By the time of two thousand years, they could no longer afford the rent of Cam Ranh Bay. , had no choice but to withdraw in despair.

  Now, it's still the stage where a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

   Drake subconsciously thought it was Da Mao's bomber and Da Mao's provocation!

Just as he was roaring, his eardrums began to hurt, and he made a painful sound. His eyes were full of anger, and he looked at the three hateful bombers. At this moment, white spikes appeared on the noses of those bombers. Of course, he knows that it is the sound barrier cloud that needs to be pierced by the plane when it enters supersonic speed.

   Bang, bang, bang!

  The sound of the sonic boom sounded, and it slapped firmly on the aircraft carrier. The aircraft carrier made of steel vibrated like a bell. I don't know how many people were completely awakened.

   "Damn, what's going on?" Brown woke up from his dream, first the alarm, then the terrible sonic boom, he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't help cursing.

  Rupert sat up and ran to the bridge, he already had a premonition of what happened. However, he still didn't catch up.

Drake covered his ears in pain, while looking at the sky with angry eyes, three huge Tu-22Ms flew past his eyes, with exaggerated missiles hanging under the wings, and the red five-pointed star and eight-pointed star on the wings The sign of One is so clear.

   Isn't it Da Mao's plane?

   "Quick, quick, take off the Sea Harrier immediately!"

   At this time, someone in the bridge has already shouted.

  It's too shameful, they were caught off guard by three bombers, what does this mean? If during the war, their aircraft carrier formation had already been sunk by the opponent, and now the opponent flew over like this, just to show off their force, it would be like a big mouth, slapping their faces fiercely superior.

   Take off, take off now!

   Actually, taking off has been pointless.

  If they could find out before the opponent flew over, the sea harrier might be able to intercept it, but now, they have already flown over, and they are still passing at supersonic speed! Even if they take off the sea harrier, can they catch up?

When the Harrier fighter first appeared, it was an out-and-out subsonic fighter with a maximum speed of Mach 0.95. Moreover, the designer did not consider the supersonic flight capability at all, and its engine did not even have afterburner Firebox!

   Until the later stage, the version of "Pegasus" 11-03PCB adopted external afterburner, and the full afterburner thrust can reach 12009daN. This engine pushed the Harrier fighter into the ranks of supersonic fighters, and according to the development idea, PCB can finally provide a thrust of 17792daN, but this engine has never been in service, even if it can push the Sea Harrier to supersonic speed, the fuel consumption Nor is it what it can afford.

Later, the Pegasus engine without extra force can also output a thrust of 12454daN, so that the Sea Harrier can barely fly beyond the supersonic speed. Even so, the acceleration process is slow and weak, and it must not be able to compete with the Tu-22M in speed. . Before they took off, the Tu-22M had already disappeared from their sight!

  On the deck, the white vests were busy. They were operating a small tractor, intending to drag the Sea Harrier from the parking stand to the ski jump take-off position. At this time, the pilot on duty was also hurriedly running out of the island.

   At this time, it was less than two minutes before the three bombers flew over the sky, which is enough to show that they are well-trained. This is the background of the old empire!

However, the roar of the plane was heard again in the distance. They stopped what they were doing and turned their heads to the direction of the sound. Three bright spots appeared on the sea. Under the morning sun, the three bright spots reflected With a layer of golden light, it looks very dazzling.

   Three more planes flew in?

   "Damn it, where's our radar? Hasn't our radar detected it all the time?" Drake shouted extremely depressed.

   "It is reported that they are flying at ultrlow altitudes and also emit a certain amount of electromagnetic interference. Our radar can only detect this kind of aircraft at close range."

   At the same time as the radar officer reported, three fighter planes roared in again. The people on the deck could see clearly, and someone murmured: "Su-33, it's a heavy fighter!"

The wing body is fused, the belly air is fed, and the two engines are directly poked on the fuselage. Just by looking at this shape, you can know that it is the Su-27 series, and then you can judge by looking at the small canard protruding from the side wings. What model is it.

   "It's not the Su-33, it's the J-15! Damn it, we were attacked by the Orientals!" The pilot of the Sea Harrier fighter said angrily.

   At this time, three J-15s had already flown above their heads, and they could clearly see that missiles were hung on every pylon under the wings, this was for showing off! Such a J-15 can carry the same number of missiles as three or four Sea Harriers. These three J-15s can kill the Sea Harriers on their entire aircraft carrier!

   Still flying?

   Flying up is looking for abuse!

  The beautiful J-15 flew by, leaving only a huge shock, and everyone in the entire formation was stunned.

  They came here to show off their power, to show off the strength of their formation, and the result?

  They have been taught how to behave. Their formation is not comparable to that of the Orientals. Even the two batches of planes that came over just now can send their formation into the bottom of the sea!

  The roar of the engine has disappeared, but the hearts of everyone present have fallen into a great loss.

  When Rupert arrived on the bridge, Brown was already standing there. He was watching the sea harrier take off on the deck, and he didn't know how he felt.

   "The Easterners did not know how to obtain the Tu-22M bomber. This kind of bomber was used to deal with the US Navy aircraft carrier formation." Drake introduced him.

When he heard this type of aircraft, Rupert's face turned pale in an instant. He was hit by the huge sonic boom in the cabin and his chest hurt, and his ears were rumbling. It hasn't eased yet. It started rumbling again.

In the era of the Red Empire, sea power was not as strong as the United States, so they had to find a way to make up for this shortcoming. They invented a series of solutions, underwater nuclear submarines, surface fleets, air bombers, and a large number of anti-ship missiles launched together, or If you don't fight, if you want to fight, you will fight to death!

  After the collapse of the Red Empire, these forces gradually weakened, and a large number of bombers were sealed up. It is estimated that they will never see the light of day again. I really did not expect that the Easterners actually got this kind of bombing.

  Some time ago, I heard that Dongfang and Lao Maozi were negotiating to introduce this kind of bomber. Who would have thought that the other party would move so quickly!

   "Your Excellency, Commander, with the opponent having such a powerful strike force, it is better for us not to move forward for the time being." Rupert began to suggest to Brown.

Brown continued to stare at the deck, and after a few minutes, he finally said quietly: "We also need a more powerful aircraft carrier! We need a large aircraft carrier with a displacement of more than 60,000 tons, and we also need a professional air defense ship similar to the Aegis system. We cannot Wait any longer!"

  Although he is proud and arrogant, he is also measured. He has anticipated many emergencies, but he did not expect that the opponent will be equipped with advanced supersonic bombers, and he does not know how many there will be.

   Now that they have suffered a loss, they have no other choice but to endure temporarily.

  However, it would be too embarrassing to leave in such a disheveled manner. Of course, they must continue to stay here and wait for the opportunity!
