Chapter 1626 1627 Sudden anti-ship missile

Even the four aircraft carriers heading south are not actually at full strength. They only carry about 40 carrier-based aircraft, and the total is only about 170. Excluding early warning aircraft and helicopters, the actual combat strength is only about 120.

  Accompanying the aircraft carrier southward were 16 destroyers, 4 cruisers and 8 supply ships. These ships have been repaired and replenished, and their morale is high and they have sufficient ammunition and fuel.

It’s just that the Tang Army has an absolute technological advantage, and the combat effectiveness of their aircraft carrier-based aircraft is completely unmatched by their opponents.

With the support of satellite intelligence, it can be said that the Tang Army fleet went directly towards the coalition fleet, and the coalition fleet did not know that they had been targeted.

This naval battle, which almost determined the control of the endless sea, broke out suddenly, and even the commanders of one side were not prepared at all.

From the fleet commander to the officers on duty below, to the lax sailors on the deck, no one knew that the Tang Army’s fleet had launched Invader attack aircraft on the sea two to three hundred kilometers away.

 Alarms were not sounded, and the entire fleet only maintained a slow formation speed of more than 20 kilometers. They never thought that the Tang Army fleet would suddenly come south to this place, and they did not take precautions.

 The warning destroyers that came forward did find the aircraft overhead, but they later found that their communications were completely interfered with. The way they discovered the Tang Army's aircraft was entirely through naked eye observation instead of using radar detection.

In order to ensure radio silence, the coalition warships do not turn on their radios on weekdays, so they have no idea that they are being interfered with.

When the first Tang Army anti-ship missile hit the target, and brilliant flames burst out from the side of a battleship, everyone remembered that the war seemed to have broken out two or three months ago.

 Finally someone turned on the radio and tried to warn friendly forces that they were under attack. But it wasn't until this time that they discovered that their radio channel had been interfered with.

 The radars on the warships were turned on one after another, and then the radar operators on the ships were surprised to find that all their radar screens were full of interference signals.

 The more advanced radar screens are full of noise and it is impossible to see anything clearly, while the signal lines on the less advanced radars are as exaggerated as seismic recorders.

At this time, several warships had been hit by anti-ship missiles from unknown sources, and a cruiser had begun to roll over.

The hit battleship exploded and burst into flames. The larger battleship looked relatively calm, but the less tough cruiser and destroyer were much miserable.

Those who were lucky enough to be hit only caught fire and seemed to be able to continue fighting; those who were unlucky were now submerged in a sea of ​​fire and were about to sink.

The fleet commander who just rushed out of his cabin walked into the command cabin while fastening the buttons on his military uniform. As soon as he reached his position, he was told that an aircraft carrier had been hit by a missile and was on fire.

"Where is the patrol fleet? Is there any news?" He looked at the officer responsible for liaising with the aircraft carrier. In order to ensure the safety of the commander-in-chief, the elf fleet's flagship chose a battleship. "Our communications were disrupted and no news was sent back." The poor officer answered the question bravely: "The reconnaissance fleet may have been shot down."

The elves also received naval battle information provided by the Dornish Navy. They probably knew that the Tang Army's aircraft were supported by radar and could shoot down enemy aircraft from long distances. Under such circumstances, it is almost normal for the reconnaissance aircraft unit to have no news.

After hearing the news that one of his own aircraft carriers was on fire, the elf admiral immediately ordered the carrier-based aircraft on other aircraft carriers to take off: "Let all the aircraft fly! I need to find the location of the enemy fleet!"

"Hang all the bombs! If they find the enemy, they will attack if they have the chance! If they can't find the enemy, then our situation will not be optimistic." He looked at the chart, and he felt that this time Their coalition fleet has no chance of winning.

On the other side of the entire fleet, the dwarf battleship was also hit by a missile. All the dwarf naval soldiers had already taken action. Some of them were rescuing the battleship, while others had already rushed into position and used anti-aircraft guns to aim at it. The distant sky.

"Missiles are coming!" A sharp-eyed officer saw the Tang Army's missiles and pointed at the sky and shouted loudly.

As he shouted, the anti-aircraft guns around him began to spit out tongues of flame. Tracer bullets flew into the sky, weaving into an exaggerated web of fire.

But doing so is in vain. The dense artillery fire is still helpless in the face of missiles. The missile easily passed over the head of the warship and hit another warship that was accelerating on the other side.

It was a cruiser, and its middle hull was penetrated by a missile. A few seconds later, exaggerated black smoke suddenly erupted from its second chimney, and then the fire became visibly uncontrollable.

Huge flames burst out from the place where the missile hit and exploded, and no matter how hard the damage control personnel used water cannons to suppress it, it was of no avail.

The dwarves tried to contact the elven fleet on one side, but they also found the same problem: their communication channel was full of electric sounds, and all electronic equipment seemed to be out of service.

However, because the two fleets were very close, the approaching ships still established communication through light semaphores. Both sides knew that the other side had been attacked, but both sides were equally helpless.

Approximately 20 minutes after being attacked by the first round of missiles from the Tang Army, the Dwarves released their first carrier-based fighter jet. It took another ten minutes for the Elf side to take off the first plane, but they took off an attack plane with torpedoes.

The speed of the entire fleet increased to more than 40 kilometers, leaving behind the injured warships that could no longer keep up with the speed, and basically getting rid of the tanker supply ships that could not speed up.

The radio silence has also been broken, and the coalition fleet is sending messages over and over again to the Dornish fleet that has not yet converged, reminding them that a naval battle has begun.

Since the battle has started, the coalition fleet has sunk many ships, but none of them know where the Tang army's fleet is, nor how they were discovered.

Of course, the coalition forces still think there is some hope of a comeback: they still have a fleet that has not been discovered, and Dorne's fleet may be able to turn defeat into victory! They hoped that the Dornish fleet hiding in the dark could successfully attack and reverse the battlefield situation in one fell swoop.
