On the rough sea, a majestic cruiser is cutting through the waves.
Its name is Laken, named after the most ferocious sea beast in this sea.
When Shelter 70 was manufacturing it, it was equipped with the most advanced anti-ship systems and surface fire control radars. In theory, even if the destroyers of the Northern Federation and the South China Sea Alliance combined, it would not be its opponent.
This will be a battle without any suspense, or a one-sided massacre!
The atmosphere on the bridge was tense, with the radar operator staring intently at the screen.
The moment he saw the ripples appear on the screen, he shouted reflexively.
"The Reef appears!"
"The target is moving forward according to the original route! It is estimated that we will be discovered by the target radar in 5 minutes!"
The Reef should still be kept in the dark and continue to act as a seemingly harmless "bait".
After hearing the radar operator's report, the captain of the Laken, Fu Hongyi, nodded.
The attack window is only five minutes.
But this time is enough - even a little too long.
When the Reef discovered that the one who came to meet them was not Feiyu but Laken, they might not even have a chance to pray, and would be sent to the bottom of the sea by their anti-ship missiles to feed the fish.
However, Fu Hongyi still felt a little complicated when he thought that the target of the attack was his former comrade-in-arms.
Seeing everyone looking at him, he slowly spoke.
"Can I contact them?"
The correspondent sitting in front of the terminal shook his head.
"Unable to contact! They have entered radio silence as planned..."
It went exactly as planned.
Although he had no real intention to contact them, Fu Hongyi sighed softly and ordered combat units at all levels to prepare.
Seeing that everything was ready, the adjutant standing next to him hesitated again.
After struggling for a moment, he asked in a low voice.
"Really...do you want to take action?"
The captain was silent for a while, then stretched out his hand to gently straighten the captain's hat on his head.
"The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly. If you hesitate, you will lose... Just sink it."
There isn't much time left for them.
The ambush fleet of the South China Sea Alliance is nearby, and the Laken must fight quickly. It is best to break away from the attack and immediately change course to join the large force.
It's really ironic when you think about it. Although the fleet in the southern sea area was established to guard the legion, so far it has not even seen the shadow of the legion. The only achievements were contributed by its own people.
This fleet is worse than none.
Fu Hongyi also smiled bitterly in his heart.
Maybe after cleaning up the mess at home, Mr. Chalas can make these fleets really useful.
At least for other parts of the wasteland...
"The fire control radar has illuminated the target!"
"The 'Riptide' anti-ship missile is ready!"
"Insurance lifted!"
"Ready to launch!"
A series of sounds echoed in the bridge, but at this moment, an inappropriate sound suddenly sounded.
The operator sitting in front of the sonar system control terminal suddenly let out a scream.
"The sonar system detected the approach of an unknown object!"
Fu Hongyi's childish mind suddenly shrank, and countless possibilities emerged in his mind, but in the end they all turned into despair.
"Throw torpedo decoy bombs——"
Before he even finished speaking, the left side of the Laken seemed to have been hit by a sea monster, and the whole body shook violently.
Everyone in the bridge instantly hit the glass window on one side as if they were weightless, and were immediately swallowed up by the flames and heat waves that rose into the sky.
Viewed from a distance, the cruiser named after Laken looked like a tachyon cut off from the middle, slowly sinking into the sea amidst the raging fire and the explosion of ammunition.
That happened in a split second.
It only took fifteen minutes from the torpedo hit to the sinking of the entire cruiser. Finding traces of the opponent in a beyond-visual-range war already meant that everything was too late.
About 20 nautical miles west of the cruiser, an attack nuclear submarine slowly surfaced, revealing the bridge with radio equipment.
They have been silent here for three whole days, lying on the bottom of the sea like a real reef.
Silent radio waves sent news of the successful attack to the naval headquarters on Anle Island.
"This is the 'Shark Tooth'. The Laken has sunk. We will go to the predetermined location to rendezvous with other ships as planned."
After completing the report, the Shark Tooth submarine sank under the sea again, turned around and sailed in the direction of the main fleet.
There was an unusual silence on the bridge.
Unable to stand the silent atmosphere, an officer quietly left the bridge and went to the corridor, only to find that someone was already standing here.
Seeing his serious look, the man whistled, trying to ease the awkwardness of looking at each other in silence.
"Including the Hanye... we have already taken the heads of two friendly troops."
"Is that considered a friendly force?"
"Let's forget it, at least we have trained together before."
The embarrassment didn't seem to ease in any way, and the corridor became quiet this time.
After standing at the door in silence for a long time, the officer sighed and said.
"...Let's end it quickly."
He didn't know how people in the future would evaluate this tortuous past.
Perhaps sinking to the bottom of the sea is the real relief.
…
After completing its mission, the Shark Tooth submarine continued to move toward its original goal.
After sailing a certain distance according to the original plan, the destroyer Reef discovered that it had not been sunk, and no one came to rescue it. It fell into a "vacuum period" without a mission.
The Anle Island Naval Command did not arrange the next combat mission for it, and it was obviously no longer necessary to continue to advance along the original route.
Not long after, the destroyer Reef's sonar system detected the wreckage of the cruiser that had sunk to the bottom of the sea.
Zhang Ruowen did not hesitate and ordered to immediately move towards the sea area where the Laken sank.
Although the chances of those crew members surviving were slim, he still planned to try to save them.
How much can be saved?
As for Arzu who lives in his mind, he has disappeared. It is not known whether he is just silent or has really disappeared.
But no matter what it is, after all this is over, he will go for a minor operation to take out the thing.
The bionic chip does have some uses, but he no longer feels any confusion about the future and has no need to listen to the gospel of the so-called "Kingdom of Heaven".
At the same time, at the Beidao Naval Command, a dead silence spread like a plague in everyone's hearts.
Charas's eyes widened, his eyes were bloodshot, and his fists were tightly clenched.
At this moment, he was like an enraged beast.
The people standing beside him didn't dare to take a breath, let alone make a sound, for fear of being angered by this beast.
"……waste."
Charas cursed fiercely, endured the pain in his heart to calm down, looked at the commander aside and said immediately.
"Where is our main fleet? Have you found any trace of the enemy fleet?"
"Not yet...are we going to detach a destroyer to track the sonar waves that sank the Laken?" Looking at Charas nervously, the commander hurriedly added another sentence, but he didn't expect to be scolded so badly. Shower head.
"Are you a pig! We only have two destroyers left! Are we relying on one destroyer to cover our battleships?"
What a bunch of idiots!
Looking at the commander who lowered his head and said nothing, Charas cursed a few words, then calmly looked at the chart again.
Not counting the destroyer that is about to be launched, he now only has three ships on hand.
One battleship and two destroyers, the configuration can be said to be extremely unbalanced.
On the other hand, the South China Sea Alliance has more and more equipment and personnel. There are three destroyers plus a cruiser, three other nuclear submarines, and a submarine carrier that has not appeared so far.
but--
It's not like he has no chance at all.
As long as the battleship Hai Ya can capture all four maritime combat ships of the South China Sea Alliance, and his Feiyu and Defiant destroyers can eliminate the remaining four submarines, there is still a slight possibility of victory!
But why?
Charas stared at the chart intently, his brows knitted together.
Why has his battleship still not found any trace of the South China Sea Alliance fleet so far?
Could it be that they used some new anti-radar coating or some special jamming device?
If the Reef is a decoy, the South China Sea Alliance fleet will definitely ambush nearby...
etc!
Charas reacted suddenly, and his penis almost shrank to the limit.
They already knew I knew the Reef was a decoy.
They must have known that the battleship Haiya would be waiting nearby.
It was as if they had guessed that it was the cruiser Laken that was approaching the Reef, and it was reasonable to deduce the movements of the Federation's main fleet from this.
After all, I would never let a single cruiser attack for hundreds of nautical miles. The main fleet would definitely be waiting somewhere within a hundred nautical miles.
"If I were Li Minghui..."
"I will definitely not risk my only wealth in the face of the battleship, but sneak attack on the Beidao port while the battleship is away..."
He whispered with trembling lips, and a drop of cold sweat slipped from Charas' forehead again.
This time it's not just him.
Everyone in the command room, like him, came to their senses after listening to his words.
Beidao is their target!
The final battle has begun!
Realizing this, Charas widened his eyes and yelled desperately.
"Let the Haiya return to defense immediately! Immediately!"
"Yes!" The correspondent responded nervously and quickly operated the terminal to send the message.
At the same time, the radar operator at the headquarters turned pale and screamed.
"A large number of air targets are approaching us! Number 1447!"
The sound was like the fuse lighting a powder keg, and the noisy sound suddenly boiled up.
"It's a jamming bomb! Start the active illumination radar to lock the target airspace! Turn on the optical observation system!"
"Have anti-aircraft missiles on standby! Quick!"
"The radar burned through the target! There are 20 left... Damn it! Why are there so many?!"
"The electromagnetic pulse bomb exploded in our close air! The counterpulse device is effective against it!"
"Reflective chaff! They sent a lot of reflective chaff! I can't see clearly from here!"
"It's just a joke... let our planes go out to fight! Quick!"
In just one minute, the Beidao headquarters, which was originally as silent as water, boiled like a boil!
In the park in the center of the North Island, on a temporary runway converted from lawn, four "simple-looking" fuel-fired fighter jets slowly drove out of the spacious hangar and flew into the sky along the runway.
A dazzling spot of light shone in the distant sky, which was chaff scattered from the sky.
And further away, Alliance planes are speeding towards this side, and the number is unknown!
Sitting in their respective cockpits, the four pilots' faces were full of nervousness.
Although they had flown 200 hours of training before this, this was their first time on the battlefield.
Before the Alliance came to the southern seas, the Federation did not develop an air force and had no reserves of relevant technical personnel. The two fighter jets code-named LB-1 were purely products of the "Defense Flying Bricks" design idea, and even the fire control and radar systems were
They were all copied from destroyers and modified.
If the opponent is the alliance's first-generation jet aircraft "Lingyun", or a large number of propeller aircraft, this thing may still be able to compete.
But this is obviously impossible.
At the same time when Charas finally noticed the strategic trends of the South China Sea Alliance, a huge submarine slowly surfaced on the sea 100 nautical miles away from the North Island, showing its majestic figure among the rolling waves!
It is like a giant whale emerging from the water, but what emerges from the majestic bow is not a water column, but carrier-based aircraft ejected into the air!
After two L-10 "Thunder" fighter jets and two P-2 "Lightning" attack aircraft ejected into the air, they quickly formed an arrow-shaped battle formation in the air and roared towards the sky above the North Island.
The former is a joint work between Goblin Technology and the Alliance Scientific Research Team, and the latter is the crystallization of Jushi Military Industry’s technology over the past century and a half!
The power sources and engines used by both are small controllable fusion reactors and plasma thrusters. The energy system has already surpassed the Northern Federation's LB-1 by an entire street!
In fact, before this, the alliance also developed an "underwater carrier-based aircraft" specifically equipped with the Conch submarine carrier.
It's just that most of the prototypes were dropped during training, and the mass production issues were not solved in time, so it was a pity that they could not appear in this battle.
Sitting in the cockpit of the Thunder fighter, Luo Yu took a deep breath and glanced at the radar interface.
Looking at the red dot appearing on the radar, his eyes gradually became sharp. He turned on the switches of the missile radar and seeker with his left index finger, and then placed his left hand on the throttle.
"Enemy flying units found! Attention, all units, release weapon safety, permission to engage in firefights!"
A uniform answer came from the communication channel.
"yes!"
The four pale blue plasma plumes were like daggers piercing the sky, and soon intertwined with the four burning firelights after breaking through the heavy clouds.
After the missile exchange beyond visual range, the two sides quickly entered into a hand-to-hand fight.
Traces of flying tracer light swayed wantonly in the air, intertwined with the bait bombs that shone bright white, just like fireworks blooming in the clear sky.
There was no suspense in this battle from the beginning.
The temporarily formed air force of the Northern Federation was 90% new in terms of personnel and equipment. After it shot down the missiles and entered into a dogfight with the experienced pilots of the alliance, it was completely played by one side.
An LB-1's wing was cut off by a cannon, and it turned into a ball of fireballs in the air and fell to the sea.
Ignoring the pilot who was ejecting and parachuting, the fighter plane driven by Luo Yu directly broke into the defense zone over Beidao. As it passed by at low altitude, it launched an anti-radar missile carrying an EMP warhead towards the radar illumination source!
The raging pulse current paralyzed the internal electronic components of the radar in an instant. The air defense force on Northern Federal Island suddenly seemed to be blind, and the originally fierce air defense firepower lost its accuracy in an instant.
Two P-2 "Lightning" attack aircraft launched a total of eight air-to-surface missiles, destroying all the launchers with exposed coordinates.
Including launchers for launching anti-aircraft missiles, as well as launch silos for anti-ship missiles!
The main fleet of the South China Sea Alliance approached the offshore waters of the North Island. The two destroyers raised their naval guns and, guided by drones, launched bombardments at the military port on the North Island and the military camps near the port.
At this point, the North Island's air defense force is in name only, and the ground resistance is also crumbling.
If the Federation had a destroyer nearby, the raid would not go so smoothly, and it would be impossible for the Alliance aircraft to get within 50 kilometers of the island.
However, there are no ifs on the battlefield.
The outcome was decided in the blink of an eye by one of the parties.
Marines and security forces stationed on the North Island quickly assembled.
Obviously Charas knew very well what the Alliance would do after gaining air supremacy.
Before the Federation's fleet returns to defense, he must hold off the Alliance at all costs!
At the same time when the outcome of the aerial battle was decided, four "Viper" small transport planes parked in the cargo hold of the Conch submarine carrier were successively sent to the upper plywood by the elevator.
The steep deck is the biggest difference in appearance between the Conch submarine carrier and the Dolphin cargo submarine.
In addition to the former having a spacious internal structure and an ejection track for carrier-based aircraft, the top has also been modified into a deck and apron for conventional aircraft to take off and land.
A total of twenty-four heavy infantrymen wearing "Xiaguang" power armor have assembled next to the "Viper" transport aircraft. They not only carry automatic firepower such as light and heavy machine guns, but also carry 37mm "heavy rifles".
"This kind of brutal individual anti-material weapon.
Although there are only two squads of troops assembled here, no one dares to underestimate their firepower!
They are the most well-equipped troops in the Alliance with the strongest individual combat capabilities - the Burning Corps!
If placed on Shifeng Mountain or the Wei Mansion Wasteland, a force of just over twenty people would be more than enough to annihilate a team of a thousand mutants!
The waves beat against the side of the ship, and white foam washed over the high-rise bow.
Lao Bai, wearing the "Dragon Cavalry" power armor, walked up to the brothers, opened the visor of his helmet and said loudly.
"Our air force brothers have taken down the enemy's head, now it's our turn to take the fire under their cauldron!"
"The target is the airport in the center of the North Island. We need to ensure that the runway is intact and suppress anything that points its guns at you!"
"Remember to control the fighting area and don't accidentally injure civilians!"
"yes!
"A roar of high morale echoed on the plywood, and the eyes of all the players were filled with excitement.
In response to the pair of holes burning with fighting spirit, Lao Bai closed the visor of his helmet and waved his right hand cleanly.
"action!
!”
As the order was issued, vigorous figures quickly boarded the Viper, which was ready to go.
A blue plasma plume erupted from the engine's nozzle, dragging the streamlined fuselage away from the deck and speeding toward the North Island along the top of the waves.
At the same time, the North Island was filled with smoke, and thick smoke was rising everywhere.
Especially the south side of the island.
The entire land from the military port to the edge of the settlement seemed to have been plowed by bulldozers, leaving only a devastated land.
The 150mm naval gun blasted the area inside and out. Even the nearby shipyard received two stray bullets and the dome was blown open.
The four "Viper" transport planes passed directly through the thick black smoke, breaking through the defenses on the North Island coastline like a sharp sword piercing the belly.
The stunned Marines who were bombed hurriedly came out of the bunker, raised the muzzle of their rifles and fired into the sky.
However, the 7mm bullets were not enough to pose a threat to the Viper transport aircraft. Without their anti-aircraft weapons, they could only watch the aircraft speeding towards the center of the island.
Relying on the dilapidated ruins, the Marine Corps commander wearing an exoskeleton took out his walkie-talkie and shouted almost desperately into the communication channel.
"...This is the south bank defense line!"
"The enemy air power has broken through from above us! Their target is suspected to be the airport in the center of the island!"
"We...can't stop them!"
Charas, who had just retreated to the basement of the Presidential Palace under the cover of the Marine Corps, received bad news from the front line before he could take a breath.
When he heard that the alliance's target was not the presidential palace, he instinctively breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before he could finish this sigh of relief, his heart that had just been relieved suddenly rose to his throat again.
Airport!
The alliance's goal is the airport!
"No! We must not let them take over the airport!" He roared angrily, reaching out to grab his confidant next to him, Marine Corps Commander Lundy, "Take your people there! Don't worry about me.
!The airport must be defended at all costs!”
If the Alliance captures the airport, the Alliance's transport planes will land directly on the island.
At that time, even if the federal fleet returns to defense, it will be of no use, and there will no longer be a port for the federal fleet to supply supplies in the entire southern sea area.
With Charas grabbing his collar, Lundy felt hot sweat on his forehead and back.
"But you..."
"I said! Don't worry about me!"
Charas roared angrily, interrupted his nonsense rudely, pushed him to the door, and watched him stumble towards the corridor and then towards the exit of the basement.
After the figure disappeared, he turned his murderous gaze to the disgraced officers.
"And you all! Get out!"
No one dares to mess with this guy.
As soon as they sat down on the chairs, everyone moved their buttocks away, tremblingly walked out of the door, and gave the room to him.
The room became quiet.
Charas breathed calmly, and it took him a while to calm down.
The whole room was unusually quiet, as if he was the only one left in the world.
He heard his own breathing and even his own heartbeat.
This seems to be the last...
His ambitions came to an end before they even began.
But why?
Why can’t these losers do what they say!
He closed his eyes in pain and held his wrinkled face with his hands.
If the Laken sinks the Reef as planned, and the ambush fleet eats up the South China Sea Alliance fleet as planned, then not only Anle Island, the Ring Island and even Friesport will surrender to him. Underfoot!
At that time, he will also sail the warship into the port of Silver Moon Bay, conquer the Camelback Kingdom, and continue to march westward to the interior of Borneo Province! He will move upstream along the Everliu River until he advances the front line to the territory controlled by the legion. Sails Harbor!
He will build an unparalleled empire on the sea! The boys in the southern seas can do whatever they want in the wasteland!
However, these guys just want to go against him!
Just refused to listen to his plan!
For a moment, he seemed to have an hallucination before his eyes, as if he was not huddled in the basement of the Presidential Palace, but sitting in the palace of the Lord of the World.
However, in just a moment, the dreamlike picture collapsed as quickly as soap bubbles, pulling him back into a dark abyss called reality.
Staring at the flickering light, he suddenly thought of a name.
That may be the only person who can save him.
His Adam's apple was choked and he called out in a trembling voice.
"Arzu."
There was dead silence in the room.
This guy is still the same as before. He likes to disappear at critical moments and gets no response no matter how he calls.
However, today is different from the past. In the past, he never put his hope in an outsider, but now that guy has become his only life-saving straw.
"Arzu!"
Facing the wordless silence, he couldn't help but feel a trace of panic in his heart, and he shouted again.
"Arzu!
Come out!"
This time, the voice in the void finally responded.
But that weak tone made his mood, which had finally ignited a glimmer of hope, fall to the bottom again.
"What's the point of me coming out?" Looking at the crazy Chalas, Arzu sighed.
Seeing the guy's appearance as an outsider, Charas was completely angry.
"Don't act like it's none of your business! You said we are allies, we are both prosperous and suffer losses! Give me a hand, help me! Where are your biological weapons! Take them out! I'll return them. We have a fleet, and as long as we wait for them to come back, we still have a chance! I haven’t lost yet!”
Arzu looked at him silently, with a hint of pity suddenly in his eyes.
This guy wasn't like this before.
Or is it that all "people" are so ugly at the last moment of their lives?
When he was in Jinhe City, he blamed the failure on the unreliability of the sanctuary itself, complained that Luo Gan gave up too early, and concluded from this that "imperfect divinity is not as good as human nature" and "human nature should be the commander." The believers on earth will go and build their kingdom of heaven", and proposed to the Son the necessity of building a "second church".
Although most of the Forerunners opposed him, the benevolent Son gave him the ability to use the Holy Realm as a human.
When he was preaching in the Diocese of the Southern Sea, he had always followed the indirect control method of puppetization, using the "power of the gods" to support an earthly "king", and then using the hands of this king to operate the chess pieces on the chessboard.
However, the result was so disappointing...
"I never said you lost, but...it's obvious that you already knew your outcome, and you were even lost in your crazy fantasy."
Looking at the hands reaching for his collar and then trying to pass through his collar in vain, Arzu smiled bitterly, his muddy eyes full of exhaustion.
"...Your Majesty the Holy Son, your servant has done his best."
This chapter has been completed!
