A big country of aerospace with black technology.

Chapter 272 Joint Cruise!

The first island chain blocks the waterways in and out of the Western Pacific.

If you want to enter the ocean eastward, you can only go through a few key straits.

Most of these straits are under the control of others.

It is not easy to get in and out freely.

This time the 052C destroyer entered and exited the Pacific Ocean through the Miyako Strait.

This is also the widest waterway on the first island chain.

It is relatively safe.

In fact, these straits or waterways are international waterways.

Logically speaking, anyone can leave.

But this is not the case.

Just civilian ships.

Warships sailing in these places must at least be monitored by the other party.

"Captain, are we just going to let them watch?"

Han Zitao looked at a warship not far away with a hint of anger and said.

"Let them see it, and there won't be any missing pieces of meat."

Zhang Yun was not in a hurry at all, and even took out the binoculars to take a closer look at what kind of ship was on the opposite side.

"It looks like a Burke-class destroyer. Can you take a look?"

Han Zitao took the telescope and looked at it carefully: "It is indeed a Burke-class ship. It seems to be the same ship that just entered service last year."

The Burke-class has been the main battleship of the Eagle surface fleet since its birth more than ten years ago.

It has 12 eight-unit vertical launch units, capable of loading standard SM-2 anti-aircraft missiles, Tomahawk cruise missiles, vertical launch rocket-assisted torpedoes, etc.

A MK-45 five-inch 62-caliber naval gun.

There are also several 25mm and 12.7-caliber machine guns and cannons.

The firepower is incredible!

However, Zhang Yun was not afraid, and the firepower of the 052C destroyer under his feet was exactly the same.

In particular, the 16 anti-ship missiles equipped on the ship can be called ship killers.

It is enough to sink any warship that dares to offend to the bottom of the sea.

"Don't worry, even if we are driving a sampan now, they don't dare to do anything to us."

Zhang Yun stood on the deck, looking at the blurry battleships in the distance, and said sarcastically.

"We have their leverage."

The group of lightly wounded people are still lying in the cabin.

Even if the other party is crazy, it is impossible to do anything to them despite the pressure of thousands of people in the country.

As a result, the 052C warship swaggered through the Miyako Strait for the first time.

And no one stopped me.

There are some discordant sounds coming out of China.

But it was quickly suppressed by Yingjiang.

There are quite a lot of reports on this within the Dragon Kingdom.

Because what happened this time is basically known to the whole world.

Therefore, the battleship's navigation route was not concealed much.

So after entering the East China Sea from the Miyako Strait.

Many media outlets began to report on it.

"Our navy breaks through the first island chain for the first time!" 》

"Looking at the rise of my country's maritime power from the failure of the first island chain!" 》

Reports like this began to circulate among various newspapers and online media.

Today, the development of the Internet is changing with each passing day.

Thanks to the development of satellite communication networks, the domestic Internet has developed much faster than in previous generations.

Nowadays, the mobile Internet is also beginning to take shape.

After entering the East China Sea, the 052C destroyer headed south.

Prepare to return to your home port and unload these people on the ship.

It is impossible to say that such a group of people did not feel inconvenienced on the ship.

So after approaching the South China Sea, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

It's finally time to give away this hot potato.

"what?!"

When Zhang Yun received the order from her superiors, her voice became much louder.

"Chief, are we almost back home?"

"At this time, are you still asking us to go on a mission?"

"alright, I got it."

Everyone in the cabin looked curiously at Zhang Yun, whose face was obviously not particularly good.

"As instructed by our superiors, we will immediately rush to Donghai City after disembarking the personnel from the nearby ship."

After finishing speaking, the expressions of everyone in the cabin did not change much.

After all, we are all soldiers, and we just have to carry out the orders.

But the curiosity is still there.

"Old Zhang, what happened?"

"You are so anxious to call us over."

Zhang Yun looked at Han Zitao behind him and said:

"This matter is relatively simple yet complicated to say."

"We are going to go on a cruise mission next, and before that we need to go to Donghai City for supplies and replacement."

Han Zitao continued to ask a few questions, wanting to know why they had to go on this mission.

As soon as the words came out, Han Zitao figured it out.

Why do they have to go?
It can only be because they are now the most powerful warships in the country.

So when Zhang Yun didn't answer, she closed her mouth.

The closest city to the battleship is Quanzhou.

After arriving at the port, there was already a large number of people waiting to pick them up at the pier.

It didn't take Zhang Yun and the others much time.

The destroyer will not stop after completing the personnel handover.

Just pull up the anchor and set sail, heading north along the way you came.

In Donghai City, it would take them several days to replace weapons and equipment.

The maximum speed of the 052C is 30 knots.

But because the fuel was not replenished much along the way.

You can only go north at a speed of 21 knots.

After spending nearly 20 hours, the warship finally arrived at the largest port in the country, Donghai Port.

Today's Donghai Port has not yet become the world's largest port in the future.

However, the prosperous scene has already begun to take shape.

"This time you are mainly replacing anti-ship missiles."

As soon as Zhang Yun and the others entered Hong Kong, someone came to do the docking work.

"I was too anxious this time."

Zhang Yun said to the handover person while checking the list.

"Can't we change our clothes after we return to Hong Kong?"

This change of clothes is really too strange.

Generally speaking, this kind of thing is done at the home port.

And their home port is in the South China Sea.

"Geng Bo?" Han Zitao just came over at this time and said to the handover person with a puzzled look on his face.

Geng Bo smiled when he saw his old acquaintance and said, "Long time no see."

"Why are you here?" Han Zitao was a little curious.

"Is the equipment you changed into this time newly developed by you?"

Compared with Zhang Yun, who is not particularly familiar.

Geng Bo was much more familiar with Han Zitao.

There are obviously more words.

"Yes, the main purpose is to replace your current anti-ship missiles." Geng Bo said.

"Has the carrier-based hypersonic missile been successfully developed?"

Han Zitao asked with surprise on his face.

Although previous hypersonic missiles also had anti-ship versions.

But it is still projected by missile vehicles or aircraft.It cannot be launched from the vertical launch unit on the destroyer.

"That's it."

Geng Bo said somewhat ambiguously.

"What do you mean?" Han Zitao is not someone to be fooled.

"Strictly speaking, it is not a hypersonic anti-ship missile."

"Because its terminal strike speed has not exceeded Mach five."

Geng Bo explained a little bit.

"Its strike speed is only Mach 4.2."

The current domestic definition of hypersonic weapons is very clear, that is, the terminal avoidance speed reaches Mach 5 or above.

Therefore, this anti-ship missile is not included in this.

In fact, because of this definition issue, there are many weapons with terminal speeds exceeding Mach 5, which are not considered superb weapons.

"That's enough for us!"

Han Zitao said with a look of surprise.

The YJ-62 anti-ship missile they used before had a maximum flight speed of only Mach 0.9.

Special hoisting machines have begun hoisting missiles from ships.

The Eagle Strike 62 is very large, with a length of more than 6.5 meters and a weight of 1.1 tons.

Therefore, after a round of launch, only the destroyer's own hoisting ability is relied on.

There is no way to complete reloading.

The missile loading work can only be carried out after returning to Hong Kong.

"The use of the carrier-based version of the supersonic anti-ship missile is not much different from the previous YJ-62."

Geng Bo came closer and explained various aspects of the new equipment to the two of them.

"Actually, their appearance is not very different."

Although the difference is not big, it is in order to adapt to the aerodynamics of high-speed flight.

The supersonic anti-ship missile is slender and obviously slimmer than the YJ-62 anti-ship missile.

"Its bomb weight is slightly lighter than the Eagle 62 you were equipped with before, only 900 kilograms."

"The weight of the warhead has also been reduced, but its power has still increased."

"We adopted a new explosive mixing ratio and increased the explosive's power by 20.00%."

After listening, the two nodded and had a brief understanding of the new equipment.

At this time, Zhang Yun lit a cigarette, looked at the port where it didn't seem to get dark, and said:
"We probably have to show our faces properly this time."

Han Zitao looked at Zhang Yun with some confusion and said:

"I asked you what your mission was before, but you just declined."

"Can't you say it now?"

Zhang Yun took a deep breath of cigarette and said:

"We are going to rendezvous with one of Maozi's warships at the Northern Port and then launch a joint cruise."

"There may also be a maritime exercise at the end."

Only then did Han Zitao suddenly realize that no wonder he was so anxious to transfer them here.

It turned out to be because a joint exercise was to be launched.

In recent years, many joint trainings and exercises have been carried out between China and its northern neighbors.

So there is nothing particularly shocking about a joint cruise.

"You kid, don't take it lightly."

Zhang Yun couldn't see it and reminded:
"The route we are going to cruise this time is very special."

"We're going to cruise in a full circle around the footbath."

When Han Zitao heard about the cruise route, a shocked expression appeared on his face.

After all, this route is too special.

Han Zitao said: "This road is probably not that easy to walk."

"There won't be any difficulty." Zhang Yun knew better.

The main stumbling block on this road is actually the Eagle Navy stationed at Sasebo Port.

But during this period, they probably didn't have the time to intercept.

After all, there are still many people here in the country.

It was too late for them to show their kindness, so how could they give eye drops at this time?

As for the foot basin country's own maritime forces.

Not to mention his strength, he didn't dare to fart just because his father said so.

Zhang Yun didn't say any of this.

But Han Zitao can think of it after just a little thought.

It took several hours to hoist out the battleship missile and then complete the loading work.

The main reason is that it is troublesome to move the missile out of the launch crater.

Reloading didn't actually take much time.

"I wish you all the best of luck!"

After the missile reloading was completed, Geng Bo waved goodbye to them.

The 052C destroyer Zhang Yun and the others are on has been equipped with anti-ship missiles.

And within these few hours, the supply of many consumables was completed.

The more than 200 people on the ship had almost consumed all kinds of supplies.

And most importantly, they were running out of fuel.

There is an urgent need to replenish a large amount of diesel fuel.

These tasks are all carried out together with the missile replacement.

Not done separately, wasting time.

After the supplies were completed, the battleship sailed towards the northern port.

Everyone is still relatively familiar with the maritime conditions in the Yellow Sea.

There was no storm.

Therefore, the speed of sailing is always relatively fast.

It was like after they left the first island chain from Miyako Strait.

The speed of sailing in the Pacific has never been faster.

The most important reason is that we are not familiar with the hydrological conditions in the ocean.

However, in the future, a few more trips to the Pacific Ocean will hopefully improve this problem.

After several hours of sailing, the 052C destroyer has arrived at the North Port.

Here, they will complete the mission of cruising around the footbath with a big-haired warship.

Of course, the name of the mission is actually the Northwest Pacific Air Route Patrol Mission.

It has nothing to do with the foot basin.

But everyone knows that there are only a few important countries in the Northwest Pacific.

How could it not be involved?
After the two battleships completed their rendezvous.

After some friendly exchanges, we left the port.

Of course, the friendly exchange still took a day.

Mainly because the guys were drunk the day before.

At the welcome dinner hosted by our side, I drank an unknown amount of high-strength wine brewed from pure grains.

Even normal missions were not possible the next day.

This also made Zhang Yun, who originally had a good impression of Mao Zijun, instantly lose the last trace of his good impression.

Zhang Yun has been to Mao Xiong's navy for exchange and study in the past.

Although the furry bears at that time also had various problems.

But at least military discipline is not lax to this extent.

Various regulations can still be well implemented.

Zhang Yun did not expect that their military discipline could be corrupted to such an extent after their disintegration!

But this matter is not his business.

After waiting for a day.

The two warships finally set sail.

Start sailing towards the first critical sea area.

That is the extremely important Tsushima Strait.

Although the Tsushima Strait is very close to Japan, it is an international waterway.

The footbath has no sovereignty over this area.

This is also the fundamental reason why the combined fleet can sail through here.

Two large destroyers weighing several thousand tons sailed through the waterway, which was only 64 kilometers at its narrowest point.

Standing on the beach, you can even see the flags on the battleships!
