Great warships

Chapter 1288: After defeating the pirate ship, we will attack the pirates' hiding place
In a certain place in a province in southern Minnesota, a number of multi-axle launch vehicles have arrived at the position. These vehicles are loaded with some large cylinders and are slowly being erected and aimed in the direction of the exercise.

"This exercise must be carried out to the minute!" said the commander in charge of the unit. "We must show our best performance and let everyone see how accurate we can be. If we can't reach the accuracy of a cruise missile, then we are unqualified!"

"Yes!"

"no problem!"

"We have Beidou navigation, so accuracy will certainly not be a problem!"

Everyone is full of confidence.

Time passed by little by little, and a rumbling sound came from the sky, as if it was thunder.

The commander glanced at his watch: "Attention, there are still twenty minutes!"

These twenty minutes seemed too long, yet too short.

A dim light flickered in the cockpit of the H-20.

Gao Ping held the joystick with both hands. This type of bomber did not have a steering wheel, but a joystick like a fighter jet. Therefore, when it was first modified, some people always felt uncomfortable. But once they got used to it, they would feel that this thing was a hundred times better than a steering wheel!
"We are flying along the scheduled exercise route, and we will reach the target in twenty minutes," said the bombardier nearby.

"Well, this speed is really too slow. It reminds me of the H-6K I flew before. If it was that kind of bomber, it should have switched to low-altitude supersonic penetration by now."

"Yes, but that kind of operation is outdated. In the eyes of early warning aircraft, low-altitude supersonic penetration is meaningless. Only stealth aircraft can survive on future battlefields." The bombardier said: "Of course, we are more looking forward to the future aerospace plane, which can reach the world in a few hours."

In fact, they had said these words many times before, and they were saying them again now just to relieve the tension and excitement before dropping the bomb.

And so, during the conversation, the intended goal of the exercise was getting closer and closer.

"The fleet began to disperse."

On the screen in front of him, bright spots of different planes appeared. When they came, they were a formation, but now, they needed to act individually. After all, a H-20 could carry dozens of tons of bombs. One was enough to deal with one target, and there might even be some left over. There was no way that more than two planes would be needed.

The H-20 continued to fly forward. At this time, the bombardier also began to prepare for the bombing. The target coordinates were clearly displayed on the screen in front of him, and there was also a countdown.

Ten, nine, eight...

By two, the bomb bay door under the belly of the fuselage had opened, and by zero, the first bomb had just left the rack.

In the Hongqi-07 military exercise, the subsidiary exercise projects of other subsidiary forces started almost simultaneously with the exercise tasks of the main fleet!
The first subject is to use stealth bombers to drop graphite bombs and the first wave of precision-guided bombs on the target!
Boom, boom boom!

The graphite bombs exploded in the air. Each graphite bomb contained 147 bullets. Each bullet contained 32 bundles of carbon fiber, and each carbon fiber strand was 30 meters long.

Countless carbon fibers scattered in the air, floating down, and when they were about to touch the ground, suddenly, electric light and sparks appeared, followed by even bigger sparks.

The originally bright place became completely dark, and it was completely dark below.

One of the targets had a long runway and a sturdy hangar. When the lights in the tower suddenly went out, the Blue Army's duty officer looked outside and said angrily, "Damn it! Why is there a power outage again?"

He picked up the flashlight and walked outside. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a lot of thin wires wrapped around it. The next moment, he thought of something and shouted, "Quick, start the backup generator and pay attention to air defense!"

Before he could finish his words, a huge flame appeared from the direction of the hangar.

boom!
It was visible to the naked eye that a raging fire was burning in the hangar, and a streak of light appeared on the top of the hangar, which was obviously the shadow of the attack just now. The reinforced concrete structure of the hangar was first smashed through and then exploded from the inside.

"Burning bomb!"

The Blues reacted and their faces turned pale.

Multi-axis launch vehicle position.

The countdown is almost synchronized with the H-20.

"Ten, nine, one, fire!"

A blazing flame emerged from the cylinder, and in front of the flame, a slender cylinder appeared with a pointed front. This thing dragged the flame and flew into the sky, getting faster and faster.

Whoosh, whoosh!

The thing has been fired, the mission is accomplished, the commander continues to order: "Attention, evacuate the launch position within three minutes!"

While those things were still flying in the sky, the launch vehicles had disappeared without a trace.

However, the infrared rays released by these launched objects were still captured by satellites in space.

When the information was transmitted to the relevant units through radio waves, these people were all staring in surprise.

"This exercise is too costly, isn't it? In previous exercises, they only launched one or two missiles, but this time, they launched hundreds of missiles at once. What are they doing...wait, don't they have a target?"

"Our system determined that these things were not flying in the direction we were worried about. They just wanted to create momentum."

So that's how it is. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Somewhere in the East.

"Humph, there is no fortress that we cannot take down."

"That's not a fortress, it's just dirt."

"Our Loongson computers are still powerful. We can crack their systems by hard calculations. Even if they have modified them, it will be useless. It can be done in a few minutes, and then all the data in it can be modified."

"Well, we still have to guard against arrogance and impatience. After all, this is just the beginning. Although our hacker team is in the dark, it can play a key role, so we must not be careless."

Everyone continued to stare at the computer screen, vigilantly watching the opponent's every move on the other side of the network.

In the command hall.

"Mr. Wu, since we are conducting an exercise, let's make it more realistic. Our Jubail-class destroyers are equipped with a lot of missiles. Do you want us to launch a batch of them? It will be spectacular to set off fireworks so late at night." Salman was not satisfied.

They just sent up a group of planes, only planes but no missiles. It felt like there was a lack of an exercise atmosphere, but they had money anyway.

"No need. Good steel should be used where it is needed most. Our exercise may cause disgust among some people. When that happens, it won't be too late to set off fireworks for them."

"Okay." Salman had no choice but to give up. Launching is easy, but reloading after launching is not easy.

"It would be great if we could continue reloading at sea after launching," Salman muttered.

In fact, their navy would not go out to the ocean, so there was no need for that. They could have returned to the port long ago in the time wasted on slow loading at sea.

Therefore, this demand is meaningless to them. Even a navy deployed globally that engaged in sea loading during the Cold War has now given up.

"Report, the electronic jammer has arrived over the target and is about to implement the strongest electromagnetic interference."

"Start jamming immediately! Modern warfare is fought with high technology, and our electronic jammers are definitely the best!"

"Yes!"

"Electronic warfare aircraft are also indispensable. We can use the Z-30 in the future. You can also modify two for us." Salman began to plan.

"The electronic jammer modified from a fighter aircraft body is never good enough. It would be better if it were modified from a transport aircraft." Nicholas said.

"Yes, it is true that transport aircraft have more advantages, but transport aircraft can only use land airports and do not have the advantages of carrier-based aircraft."

While everyone was discussing, two special electronic jammers had already flown near the target. With a high wing and four engines, they could be recognized at first glance as a modified version of the An-12 transport aircraft. However, it also had its own unique features: its cheeks were quite large!

On both sides of the front fuselage, there are two huge bulges protruding, just like the mumps. Installed in these two bulges are special electronic jamming antennas. When they start working, strong electromagnetic waves fill the entire target area, so that no radio signals can be sent over the target.

In the dark night sky, stealth aircraft have flown over the target and started to attack according to the target coordinates transmitted via the data link.

"This exercise was really great. I really hope there can be more exercises like this!" Xiang De said to himself in one of the stealth aircraft. Then, looking at the target being covered in the aperture on his helmet goggles, he pressed the bomb button.

The precision-guided bombs whizzed down, and for the blue troops below, this must be an unforgettable memory!
In the command hall, everyone was still discussing.

"You say, if war really comes, can those civilian methods be used to communicate with the outside world?"

"Of course." Qin Tao took over the conversation: "Nowadays, the international Internet is very common. A few years ago, when the West bombed a certain country, the news would be spread on the Internet as soon as the bombers took off. Based on the flight time, everyone could calculate that the bombing would begin in a few hours. There are also civilian communication networks, which are often more useful than military ones. However, all of these have a prerequisite."

"What premise?"

"Electricity supply is needed. In wartime, if the electricity supply cannot be guaranteed, the civilian network will fail completely."

Electricity is a necessity in modern life and the foundation of modern communication technology!

Without electricity, switches, routers, etc. will not work, and the network will naturally be unusable!

"Most modern network centers will have backup power supplies, right?" Salman asked. He felt that this didn't seem to be a big problem.

"Yes, that's true, so the most direct way is to cut off the communication optical cable." Qin Tao nodded: "Any country that wants to connect to the Internet with other countries needs to use optical cables. As long as this cable is cut off, the other party will completely lose the channel for external communication."

It is impossible for a large number of network signals to go through satellites in space as the price would be incredibly high. In comparison, ground optical cable communication is the most convenient, with large communication capacity and low operating costs.

During wartime, these optical cables are the most vulnerable to damage. If they are cut off somewhere, communications will be interrupted! If there is seawater all around and only submarine optical cables can be used, it will be easier for someone to find an opportunity to cut them off.

"Yes, it is best to cut it off." Nicholas nodded: "For a backward country or region, it is possible to survive without the Internet. For a modern society, the Internet is a must. Cutting off this..."

"That will lead to complete chaos!" Qin Tao said in a loud voice: "After all, modern warfare is like playing a game, and the Internet is necessary."

In the sky, Xiang De, who had just completed the bomb dropping mission and was returning, suddenly felt bored.

"This exercise is so boring. Everything is like playing a computer game. It suddenly reminded me of my days in the US Navy. I was looking forward to fighting Russian pilots all day long. When I was flying a Tomcat fighter and fighting with them, I felt the adrenaline surging like a fountain!"

At this moment, a line of words suddenly appeared on his HUD. He looked down and his expression changed drastically.

Stop complaining! Otherwise you will sleep on the sofa for half a month!
Xiang De just wanted to talk to himself, but he didn't expect that someone was listening. He quickly shut up, lay down on the flight seat, and looked outside boredly. A few minutes later.

"The Blue Army is so unlucky. At least they should send out a few fighter jets to greet us. I still have two PL-10s in my bomb bay. I still want to engage in an air-to-air combat with them!"

When Mr. Lin hurriedly arrived at the Zhoushan base, the first wave of attacks had already ended.

"Our combat power is too strong, and the enemy has no chance to defend themselves at all." Salman said, "Even if the enemy has two 100,000-ton flat-deck ships, we don't care at all. After all, not long ago, the colonel's two stealth aircraft destroyed a fleet of 100,000-ton flat-deck ships. Now, we have dispatched more than 30 of them!"

"Yes, stealth aircraft have a cost advantage over non-stealth aircraft. How can the pirates' equipment compare with ours?" Qin Tao said, "We are a whole generation ahead of the pirates. We can definitely overwhelm them."

"Yes, over the past decade or so, our weapons and equipment have undergone tremendous changes!" At this time, Elder Lin walked in with great interest. Although he was not young, he still walked briskly and had a steady posture, especially on his face, which had an extremely bright smile.

Press your opponent down!
Back then, we were suppressed by our opponents.

When the opponent already has powerful variable-sweep wing bombers, we still only have ordinary fighter jets that mainly use machine guns for air combat. When the machine guns have run out of shells, the fighter jets are the last shells!
It was so tragic and frustrating back then, but what about now?

Now that we have advanced stealth bombers, we can launch the most covert attack on our opponents at any time, and our opponents will not even know what is happening.

Even if it's an intercontinental flight, our H-20 can do it!
After this exercise is over, the H-20 will probably be unveiled to the public, and then those bastards will be scared to death.

"Mr. Lin, you are here?"

"Well, come and take a look." Elder Lin looked at Qin Tao: "Taozi, I see why your face is red. Come, let me touch it."

As Mr. Lin spoke, he grabbed Qin Tao's wrist.

Qin Tao smiled and said, "This is my first time participating in this kind of exercise observation. I feel a little nervous. How about we go out for a drink to calm down?"

"Okay." Mr. Lin was about to turn around and leave, but Wu Shengli stopped them.

"No, we can't drink now. There's more to come. The first wave of combat missions has ended. We have successfully destroyed the pirates' naval forces. Next, should we launch an attack on the pirates' lair?"

"Yes!" Nicholas said, "The next exercise should be a cross-sea landing!"

Landing across the sea!

As rays of light flashed overhead, the waiting amphibious ships also began to move!

"Let's go!" The commander on one of the 075 amphibious assault ships shouted loudly. With his order, the warship began to set sail!
The wind and rain in Zhongshan turn yellow, and millions of heroes cross the river.

Back then, in order to completely bury the reactionary government, millions of troops crossed the Yangtze River and marched southward.

The scene at that time was very spectacular. I don’t know how many sailboats and even sampans there were, after all, there was no navy back then.

Over the past few decades, the navy has grown and developed into a powerful maritime force! Fighting small pirates is no problem, and this exercise will play a leading role!
The engines roared, the propellers turned, and the warships began to advance towards their targets. This exercise reached a new climax!
"To attack the pirates' lair, our Russian navy must play the leading role!" Nicholas said, "We brought two amphibious assault ships, equipped with advanced Ka-52K ship-borne helicopters!"

In the first exercise, the Russian Navy had little presence, but now they have to perform ground attack, which is their strong point!
Since it is impossible to purchase J-28A carrier-based aircraft from the East, Russia can only use its own ship-based helicopters. Although the Mi-52 and Ka- are on par in the competition for army armed helicopters, there is no suspense in the navy's equipment sequence.

Ever since the navy had ship-borne helicopters, it has been using the coaxial inversion helicopters of the Karimov Design Bureau. This type of helicopter, which is specifically used for attack, is of course also their business.

The Ka-52 also transformed into a naval version, becoming the K-52K.

In order to be able to board the two amphibious assault ships produced in the East, the Ka-52K has undergone some changes, such as a newly designed folding method that allows the rotor to be folded lower to adapt to the height of the hangar, and the fuselage has been treated to prevent moisture and salt. Even the short wings on both sides are folded.

Now they are not only using it themselves, but also dreaming of exporting it, so that they can show their advanced ship-borne helicopters in front of the navies of so many countries with amphibious assault ships.

At the same time as Nicholas made the request, a number of Z-30s were already in place on the decks of the amphibious fleet ships that had been dispatched from the East.

The Marines, their faces smeared with olive oil, moved quickly, running up the Straight-Thirty with murderous eyes.

"In this exercise, we must be the first to land, open up a beachhead for the follow-up troops, seize the port, and wait for the follow-up roll-on/roll-off ships to dock!"
