The "Haihongqi-10" missile defense system equipped on the 056A is the latest ship-based short-range air defense missile interception system of the Red Army. With its excellent performance, it has become a 056/056A frigate, a 052D destroyer, a 055 destroyer and even a 002 aircraft carrier.
Waiting for the "last line of defense" for new types of ships.
This system uses passive radar + red/ultraviolet composite guidance method, with a maximum interception distance of 9 kilometers, and an interception distance of high-speed targets of 6 kilometers. The combat range is obviously farther than the 730/1130 close-in defense gun, and the single-shot interception success rate is very
high.
But after all, its close-in defense system has certain limitations. For example, it will be uncomfortable when encountering some terminal derailment and accelerated anti-ship missiles.
This is why the captain cursed on the radio.
Haihongqi-10 lived up to expectations, firing off each one like crazy for free.
In less than ten seconds, all the Haihongqi-10 near-range ballistic missiles on the 056A were empty, and then the ship's 30mm single-barreled cannon fired wildly at the rapidly approaching ASM-anti-ship missiles.
However, these firepowers are relatively fragile after all and cannot stop 16 ASM-3 anti-ship missiles at all.
Eight Haihongqi-10s only intercepted six ASM-3s. The ejected decoy bombs and the 30mm cannon almost tried their best to protect them, but only one ASM-3 failed and fell into the sea.
In the end, 9 ASM-3 anti-ship missiles slipped through the net.
Just when all the officers and soldiers on the 056A frigate were determined to die and prepared to use the 056A with a displacement of only 1,400 tons to carry 16 ASM-3 anti-ship missiles, an explosion suddenly occurred on the sea about 300 meters away from the 056A frigate.
Fires a huge fireball.
boom--
The sputtering sparks bloomed in the air like a special firework, and the dazzling firelight made it impossible to look directly.
boom--
Then, there is the second flower.
boom--
The third one!
One after another.
The dark sea surface was turned into a strange purple-red color by the fire, and the high temperature generated by the explosion made the sea water feel like it was boiling.
On the bridge of the 056A frigate, the captain watched this scene as if in a dream. He stood stunned for a long time before he came back to his senses.
"It's S-400E!"
At the critical moment, reinforcements arrive!
There is nothing better than this feeling.
No one deserves more happiness than escaping from death.
Thunderous cheers erupted on the ship.
"The report jointly stated that our ship successfully escaped the saturation attack of Huang Fang's anti-ship missiles. There were no casualties and the ship was not damaged. We are now speeding up our return! Please tell the brothers of the Rocket Force that the officers and soldiers of our ship pay them a revolutionary salute!"
Hundreds of kilometers away, on the roadside in a mountainous area on the eastern coast, several S-400E anti-aircraft vehicles that were relocating turned a corner on the roadside and drove into a mountain col.
The battalion commander of the S-400 battalion jumped out of the car, stretched out, and was in a good mood. He asked everyone to get out of the car: "Hurry up! Enter combat status immediately and prepare your disguise!"
When the launch vehicles entered their respective positions, the battalion commander took out the water bottle and unscrewed the lid and took a sip of water. Thinking of the exquisite and accurate interception just now, he couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of his heart.
"Hey! If you refuse to fight, it still depends on our Rocket Army!"
The F15J fighter formation of the 204th Aviation Regiment taking off from the Nabo base lost the meaning of continuing to move forward after all the F-2B formations were shot down.
Now, the first opening match seems to have come to an end.
In the Blue Army Joint Staff Headquarters, Wen Zhaohui looked at the electronic situation map and fell into thinking.
Looking at the current situation, the last hope is the three Soryu-class attack AIP submarines.
Only one flag-class destroyer in the Kongo-class destroyer formation was seriously injured and escaped. The F-2B attack formation chasing the 022 missile boat formation was completely wiped out, and the F15J squadron was forced to retreat...
It was originally a carefully planned ambush, but now I don't know who is the prey.
Within the red team's area denial range, their strength is very terrifying.
This is also the reason why Wen Zhaohui is unwilling to rashly commit the main force of the blue army to start a battlefield with the red army near Xianlai Island.
In recent years, due to the military development of the red side, the deterrent power of the No. 1 island chain has reached the point where it is better than nothing. Whether it is the yellow side's Okitori Island base or Nabo base, or Miyajima, which is more than 2,600 kilometers away from the red side.
The base seems to be within the red team's attack range.
Without a large amount of consumption or destruction of the red team's area denial capabilities, Wen Zhaohui would not be willing to devote his main force to the red team's home court to fight them to the death.
Fortunately, so far in this opening battle, all the losses have been to Huang Fang's military strength, which can only be regarded as superficial injuries. It is still unclear who will win.
However, he must be careful in his next strategy.
Li Zheng, an old enemy, is really difficult to deal with.
Wen Zhaohui felt that he was suffering from a little "Li phobia". He always felt that he was a little constrained when facing Li Zheng, and could not play as freely and unrestrainedly as when facing other people.
damn it……
He couldn't help but scold himself in his mind.
Why are you so disappointed?
Isn't he just the director of a theater combat bureau?
Why am I so timid?
Currently, the blue side faces two issues: whether to withdraw the Soryu-class submarines, and whether to withdraw the few Haisangtang patrol ships that are still around Xianlai Island.
If all are withdrawn, the opening battle will be declared a failure.
If they are not withdrawn, several patrol boats will definitely die.
The red side will not let them go, and will not give up control of the waters of Xianlai Island.
Seeing that Wen Zhaohui did not make any follow-up tactical arrangements, Long Gang asked him: "What can't you figure out?"
Wen Zhaohui said: "I am considering whether to withdraw the few patrol boats that are still on Xianlai Island."
Long Gang said: "Leave the submarine where it is and tell them that they can only attack with full confidence while protecting themselves."
"Okay." Wen Zhaohui agreed with Long Gang's view, but also put forward his own opinion: "I suggest that a formation of E-2D early warning aircraft be dispatched from now on to conduct patrols and early warning near the base to avoid retaliation from the red side."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "I agree with this." Long Gang nodded: "As for the patrol boats... there is no need for them to stay. Whether they leave or not, the red team will go to Xianlai Island. If
If the patrol ship is there, then a battle will definitely break out, and those ships will die. If they withdraw, after the red team passes, we will have more reasons to send troops in the name of coordination, or not to send troops. The initiative is in our hands
.If they withdraw, they must maintain a military presence near Xianlai Island, which will give Huang Fang the opportunity to retaliate. The initiative is still in Huang Fang's hands. Therefore, it is meaningless whether to stay or not. War, in general.
We are going to fight, so it is better to take the initiative in our own hands."
"Okay! I will listen to you, Chief." Wen Zhaohui picked up the microphone and gave the order. Then his eyes returned to the screen, staring at the 001 aircraft carrier formation that had not moved at all.
"It's strange! That 001 formation has been staying in place for several hours, why is it not moving at all? What does Li Zheng want to do?!"
Wen Zhaohui couldn't help but become anxious. He hoped that the red team's 001 aircraft carrier formation would move. If it moved, Canglong might have a chance.
In fact, the one who was more anxious than Wen Zhaohui at this time was the formation commander of the three Canglong-class submarine formations.
From last night to now, he has been here for 8 hours with his submarine and two brother boats.
However, for submariners, eight hours of waiting underwater is nothing, not to mention that the Soryu-class is a very advanced AIP submarine and is known as the undersea Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
This submarine is equipped with four imported 4V-275R Mk.III engines. These four engines can provide a total of 300 kilowatts of power output for the Soryu class.
If the power consumption of the ship's electrical equipment is not included, this is approximately equivalent to the power level of two household SUVs.
Due to the low power, the Soryu-class can only sail at a "rudder effect" speed of 3-4 knots when using only the Stirling cycle engine to provide power.
In the past, there was really no submarine in the red side's navy that could compete with it. However, with the launch of a series of new submarines by the red side in recent years, the advantages of the Canglong class are disappearing.
Although the Soryu-class's silence and stealth capabilities are first-rate, it is not invincible. Because of the use of electric propulsion and its silent design, the noise of the Soryu-class submarine is reduced to 105 decibels.
However, according to the data revealed by Huang Fang, 105 decibels was reached when the Canglong-class submarine was sailing underwater, which is estimated to be the noise radiation at a higher underwater speed. When sailing at an extremely low speed of 3-4 knots,
The noise can also be reduced to 95 decibels.
Such low noise results in weak power. The speed is too slow, with a maximum of only 12 knots. Once discovered, it cannot escape. Moreover, during the attack operation, if the Canglong class discovers that the target is not within the range of its own ambush, it will basically follow
If you can't get there, if you want to get closer, you have to ask other people's destroyers in the formation, whether the towed sonar of the frigates can respond, or whether other people's anti-submarine helicopters accompanying the formation can respond.
In fact, the noise of 105 decibels does not appear to be very low among conventional submarines currently in service.
In comparison, the Chinese 039C submarine on the red side, which is also powered by four Stirling cycle engines, has much more power. However, at such a speed, if you want to catch up with the aircraft carrier formation with a cruising speed of 18 knots, it is absolutely impossible.
"Daydreaming"!
If the Soryu-class submarine discovers an attack target nearby, by the time it maneuvers to the launch position, the aircraft carrier will have long since disappeared.
It is for the above reasons that Wen Zhaohui ordered the Canglong class to be set up near Xianlai Island early. The ambush place was the water area that Huang Fang estimated that the red side's aircraft carrier formation would pass through. Only this kind of wait-and-wait tactic can maximize the effectiveness of the ambush.
Give full play to the role of the Soryu-class submarines, and once they lurk, they cannot move. This is the D Sea, and the water is shallow. As long as the Soryu-class submarines move, they may be discovered. Even they can only receive messages from the Huang Fang headquarters through long waves.
Do not dare to make any reply to the combat order. Once the reply is sent, the target will also be exposed under the monitoring of the red team's sensitive signal reconnaissance system.
It can be said that this is the advantage brought by military technology.
If this confrontation were placed ten years ago, the red side would not have an absolute advantage.
But ten years later, the Red Army is no longer the same Red Army as it was back then. In terms of military technology, especially due to the Navy’s crazy make-up lessons over the years, it is no longer the Wu Xia Amen of the past.
The three Canglong-class ships were neither moving nor stationary at this time. Several times, the commander thought about whether he could quietly get closer in 4-knot stealth mode, even just a little bit. Currently, the 001 formation was just northwest of him.
One hundred kilometers.
As long as you advance about 50 kilometers, you will be within your own attack range.
However, if you do that, you will also enter the anti-submarine range of the aircraft carrier formation. If there are red submarines such as 093 or 039C in the aircraft carrier formation, you don’t have to move forward. As long as you start the submarine and start moving forward, it will be easy.
The sonar signature was detected by the opponent's underwater submarine.
It's difficult...
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart and suppressed the urge.
