I built an armada

Chapter 76 The halo of 956E is shattered!
  Fired at 40 kilometers? 4 missiles, speed Mach 1.6!

Wu Ruoming was shocked.

He knew very well how far away 052's blow was. How could it hit that far? I have one 052 in my fleet!

Did I guess wrong? Not the Northern Fleet, but the Eastern Fleet?
  But that’s not right. The SS-N-956 Sunburn anti-ship missile on the 22E has a speed of only Mach 1.3.

Where the hell did this warship come from!

It only took a few seconds, and the missile got closer and closer.

"Reporting to captain, the enemy missile is 38 kilometers away from our ship and is expected to arrive in 70 seconds... Please give instructions!"

"Intercept!" Wu Ruoming shouted.

As the button controlling the SA-N-7 Hurricane air defense missile system is pressed, the radar instantly locks on four targets, and the command is quickly transmitted to the SA-N-7 Hurricane air defense missile system and then to the 9M38 ship-based air defense missile warhead.

7.5 seconds later, eight 8M9 anti-aircraft missiles roared out.

"Report to captain, the enemy missile is 34 kilometers away from our ship. It is expected to collide with our ship 44 kilometers away in 13.5 seconds..."

Wu Ruoming was heartbroken.

9M38防空导弹速度只有0.9马赫，防空导弹系统反应时间需要7.5秒，发射架上现在还剩下4枚9M38防空导弹，二次装弹需要16秒。

44 seconds, the second reload is completely in time. But once the first round of interception fails, it will take 7.5 seconds for the radar to retransmit the strike command.

A distance of 13.5 kilometers, a reaction time of 7.5 seconds, and a secondary interception with an anti-aircraft missile. The explosion site was only 2 kilometers away from the warship, which was too risky.

The main reason is that the opponent's anti-ship missile is too fast. As long as it is only about Mach 1, there is still a chance for secondary interception.

Right now, the only things we can rely on are anti-aircraft artillery and close-in defense artillery.

Do you want to use three other warships?

As soon as this thought emerged, Wu Ruoming immediately drove it out of his mind.

这个距离还是太远了，052导驱和053H3护卫舰的防空导弹打击距离根本够不着！前者才10公里，后者才8公里。

And after all, it is 8vs4. Two missiles intercept one, so the certainty is relatively high! Coupled with his confidence in 956E, he felt that there was a high possibility of stopping them all!
  He really couldn't think of any warship in the three major fleets that could force 956E to ask for help!
  Taking a deep breath, Wu Ruoming suppressed the tension in his heart.

On the other side, in the 052B main control room.

The radar monitor said: "Report to captain, the enemy ship launched 8 anti-aircraft missiles to intercept! The speed is Mach 0.9, and it is expected to collide with our ship 44 kilometers away in 26.5 seconds. Please give instructions."

Zhou Qinglei did not look at the radar display, but looked at the four tongues of flames in the sky.

改良后的4座4联装反舰导弹发射系统一次性能够发射16枚鹰击-901，这次才动用了4枚。

"Didn't the enemy ship attack our ship?"

"Report Captain, no!"

"Maintain speed, change direction, and control distance!"

"It's the captain!"

Zhou Qinglei stood with his hands behind his back.

The two sides are controlled at a certain distance, so that the frigates on both sides can only passively defend and cannot actively attack.

He also wanted to test how strong 956E was in a head-to-head encounter.

Four Eagle Strike-4s are just an appetizer.

At this moment, every second is very long and painful for Wu Ruoming.

As the distance got closer and closer, Wu Ruoming's heart became anxious again.

"Report to Captain, the enemy missile is 25.5 kilometers away from our ship and is expected to collide in 14 seconds."

This distance is beyond the reach of the other three warships of the Southern Fleet.

"Reporting to Captain, 052 Captain Chen asked if support is needed?"

"Report to Captain, 053H3..."

"No need! Tell them, no need!"

Wu Ruoming said seriously.

956E made his debut in the first round, and his sword hadn’t even been used yet, so how could he call for support? If this spreads out, the Southern Fleet will be completely embarrassed.

"Report to captain, countdown to 5 seconds! 4 seconds... 1 second!"

As the countdown ended, a huge explosion echoed over the sea 956 kilometers away from 13.5E. The smoke filled the air and nothing could be seen for a while.

"exchange……"

Before he could finish speaking, the radar monitor said anxiously.

"Reporting to Captain, the first round of interception failed. Two missiles broke through the defense line and were 11 kilometers away from our ship!"

11 kilometers, a reaction time of 7.5 seconds, Mach 0.9, and the speed of the opponent's anti-ship missile is Mach 1.6. At this distance, the risk of secondary interception with an anti-ship missile is too great, and it is already too late.

"Activate the anti-aircraft artillery! Once the enemy missiles break through, immediately activate the close-in anti-aircraft artillery! Quick!"

Wu Ruoming stared at the radar display, looking extremely nervous.

After a while, he heard an explosion in the distance.

"Report to Captain, the anti-aircraft artillery interception failed, and another missile broke through the defense line. The close-in anti-aircraft artillery has been activated!"

As soon as the other party finished speaking, there was a harsh clicking sound on the deck.

Bullets were flying into the sky like sparks.

At this moment, Wu Ruoming could already see the missiles roaring towards him three kilometers away, trailing tongues of flame.

Stop successfully!
  We must stop success!

Wu Ruoming's heart suddenly reached his throat.

Finally, there was another explosion not far from the warship.

The smoke dispersed in the sky, and Wu Ruoming's hanging heart finally fell.

The interception was successful.

"Reporting to Captain, the last missile was successfully intercepted! The interception distance is 1.2 kilometers!"

1.2 kilometers?

Wu Ruoming's eyes twitched suddenly.

At this distance, the opponent's anti-ship missile only takes two seconds!
  In just two seconds, he would have to go back early for dinner.

Thinking of this, a chill ran down his spine.

Only then did he realize that in order to prove the powerful actual combat capability of 956E and save the face of the Southern Fleet, he had done a great job!
  He kept telling himself in his mind: This is actual combat, and how strong the enemy is cannot be judged based on known information! This will cause big trouble, and we must not let it happen in the future!

"Report to Captain, the enemy ship is still hovering around 40 kilometers away from our ship, please give instructions!"

Now he was too lazy to guess who that fleet was, he was just thinking about saving this face.

"Lock the enemy ship and fire immediately!"

"Yes, Captain!"

At a distance of 40 kilometers, neither the 052 nor the 053H3 frigates can participate.

As soon as he pressed the missile launch button, before the anti-ship missile system's 8-second reaction time had passed, he heard the radar monitor yell.

"Report to Captain, the radar detected that the enemy ship launched 12 missiles at a speed of Mach 1.6..."

"956E, this must be 956E! Okay, Eastern Fleet has secretly improved 956E!"

Wu Ruoming was so angry that his teeth itched.

The four missiles just now almost made him leave the game early. This time he was 4 points cautious.

"Notify the entire army immediately and be ready to intercept at any time!"

"Yes! Captain!"

After receiving the combat order from Wu Ruoming, the other three warships were dispatched.

Compared to Wu Ruoming's urgency, Zhou Qinglei seemed much calmer.

"Reporting to captain, our ship is locked by anti-ship missiles. There are 12 anti-ship missiles in total. The speed is Mach 1.3 and the distance is 39 kilometers. Please give instructions!"

"Intercept immediately!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Zhou Qinglei did not panic about the Mach 1.3 Sunburn anti-ship missile. The speed of the improved anti-aircraft missile on the 052B has reached Mach 1.2, and the radar can lock on 10 targets at a time.

The speed of the two is not much different, and the accuracy is higher. They can intercept them all in two rounds.

Accompanied by bursts of sharp whistling sounds, 12 Haihongqi-901 soared into the sky, facing the Rizhi anti-ship missiles. After a while, the second batch of Haihongqi-901 anti-aircraft missiles also shot into the sky.

At this time, in the main control room of Eastern Fleet 956E, which was far away from the two fleets, Captain Cao Youren looked at the radar display with suspicion.

"It doesn't make sense. It's been so long, why is there no movement at all? Where are they two hiding?"

He was still looking for the Northern Fleet and the Southern Fleet all over the world, but he didn't know that the two were already working together.

Suddenly, the sonar monitor shouted.

"Report to Captain, the sonar system detected an explosion in the distance!"

"what!"

Cao Youren quickly looked at the sonar monitor, and sure enough, there were sound waves coming from outside the monitoring range.

Naturally, he couldn't hear the sound ninety kilometers away while standing in the warship.

But through the sonar display, he can know the general direction of the sound source. Hey guys, why did the Northern Fleet and Southern Fleet start fighting first?

Now the Northern Fleet is completely finished!

"Captain, what should we do?"

"We're going to fight too!"

"Captain, wouldn't it be bad to take advantage of the situation? We are all brothers in the fleet."

Cao Youren glared at the other party and scolded: "This is not a normal test, this is actual combat! Since it is actual combat, there are no rules! The Southern Fleet and the Northern Fleet are all enemies! It's us who will take them down. Only purpose!"

"Yes, Captain, I understand!"

Cao Youren pointed at the direction from which the sound wave came.

"Full speed ahead!"

Cao Youren didn't know what was waiting for him over there. He also wanted to go in and completely mess up the situation, causing a melee between the three fleets.

Of course, it would be perfect to reap the benefits.

Since it is an actual battle, winning is the key, and how you win is not important.

Just when Cao Youren was full of expectations, Wu Ruoming ushered in the darkest moment of the day.

"Report Captain, the enemy ship launched 12 anti-aircraft missiles at a speed of Mach 1.2!"

Mach 1.2 anti-aircraft missile?
  What the hell, how did the Eastern Fleet do it?
  Anti-ship missiles are faster than us, and even anti-aircraft missiles are faster than us!
  What the hell is there any reason for this?

Everyone is an optimized 956E, why are you better than me?
  The most important thing is that the opponent should not focus on the 052 and 053H3 frigates, but must focus on themselves! Isn't it good to beat the weak? Don’t you know that 956E is the leader of the Southern Fleet?
  After thinking about it, he also understood that this battle was more about the performance of the two 956Es, so it was reasonable for the other party to look for him.

As for the '052', the Northern Fleet's leading ship, he directly left it out of his mind.

In such a high-end game, my own 052 can't even attack and can only assist in interception.

"Cao Youren, I used to command 052 and dare to attack the aircraft carrier fleet. Today, I command 956E. How can I still be afraid of you? No matter how your 956E has been improved, today I have to compete with you!"

He didn't think about how the opponent achieved the second improvement of 956E. He just had one belief at the moment, defeating the opponent.

"Reporting to Captain, the radar successfully locked 6 targets..."

16 seconds later.

"Reporting to Captain, the 9M38 ship-borne anti-aircraft missiles have been loaded."

"Reporting to Captain, another 6 targets were successfully locked..."

"Report to captain, the enemy missile is 28 kilometers away from our ship. It is expected to collide with our ship 33 kilometers away in 14.5 seconds!"

In Wu Ruoming's ears, the voices of radar monitors and correspondents kept ringing.

I had misjudged it before and was shocked by the speed and strike distance of the opponent's missile, and I wasted a few seconds.

This time the reaction was timely, the first round of interception distance was extended by 1 kilometer, and the third round of interception was also able to catch up.

He stood quietly, staring at the tongues of fire that filled the sky.

24vs12, how many fish will slip through the net?
  He didn't know what to do.

Soon, there were constant explosions in the distance.

He didn't need to ask. The radar monitor said urgently: "Report to the captain, the first round of interception failed, and 4 missiles penetrated the defense!"

"Report to captain, the second round of anti-aircraft missiles is expected to collide with enemy missiles 16 kilometers away from our ship in 8 seconds."

"Immediately activate the anti-aircraft missiles for the third interception! Immediately activate the anti-aircraft artillery, and the close-in anti-aircraft artillery is on standby at any time. Once the missile penetrates the defense, fire immediately!
  "Yes, Captain!"

Then the correspondent shouted.

"Reporting to Captain, 052 Captain Chen has sent news that 052 has joined the war!"

The Sidewinder anti-aircraft missile on the 052 has a maximum interception distance of only 10 kilometers, and it can only appear after the first round of interception fails.

"Report to captain, 053H3 is about to join the battle!"

For a moment, tongues of fire pierced the sky and rushed into the distance.

Wu Ruoming kept telling himself in his heart to be calm and calm.

In the distance, explosions sounded one after another.

"Report to captain, the second round of anti-aircraft missile interception failed, 3 missiles penetrated the defense!"

"Report to Captain, the anti-aircraft artillery successfully hit a missile!"

"Report Captain, 052 successfully hit a missile!"

"Report to the captain..."

Wu Ruoming stood in front of the porthole, listening to everyone report the results of the battle, and his eyes fell on the smoke caused by the explosion in the distance.

Missiles exploded in the air one after another, and clouds of smoke almost obscured his vision.

Then, the deafening sound of close-in defense artillery echoed in his ears.

"Report to captain, the third round of anti-aircraft missile interception failed. A total of 2 missiles penetrated the defense, 2.5 kilometers away from our ship!"

"Report to Captain, the close-in defense gun successfully hit a missile!"

The sparks formed by the bullets cut through the smoke in the sky.

"Report to Captain, the last line of defense failed to intercept... 1 missile penetrated the defense!"

Close-in defense artillery, the last fire interception network of warships.

But now, even it has failed.

Wu Ruoming stood there in a daze.

He knew something bad was going to happen when he heard that a total of two missiles penetrated only 2 kilometers away from the warship.

How to stop two missiles when approaching the anti-gun?
  At a speed of Mach 1.6, it only takes 2.5 seconds to cover 4.5 kilometers!
  Even the smoke from the steel pipe of the close-in defense gun cannot be stopped.

With a bang, the last missile that broke out fell on the deck.

The missile did not explode, only smoke filled the sky.

Looking at the smoke rising from the deck, Wu Ruoming's face was ashen.

If this was not a blank bomb but a real missile, he would be ready to open the banquet at this moment.

Although the 956E is huge, it only has one chance to face missiles. Unless luck is reversed and the missile misses the critical point, there may be a chance of rescue.

"Ship...Captain. We are defeated."

Wu Ruoming didn't reply and stood there in a daze.

He never dreamed that such a powerful 956E would be the first to win in the first battle.

The enemy used a total of 16 anti-ship missiles!
  Isn’t 956E very powerful?

Isn’t it my navy’s responsibility?

How could this be?
  Looking forward to the return of the 4.5E worth 956 million U.S. dollars, hoping for the stars and looking forward to the moon, and it is also optimized, but the result is still the first to exit.

The naval officers and soldiers on the other three warships looked at this scene blankly, and their mentality almost collapsed.

The most powerful 956E was ‘killed’ in battle!

With just three of them, how can we resist them?

The defeat of the Southern Fleet was a foregone conclusion.

After a while, Wu Ruoming seemed to remember something, and asked with the last glimmer of hope.

"What happened to the enemy ship?"

Our ship also launched 12 anti-ship missiles. Maybe the enemy ships... died together?
  His hopes had just risen when he heard the radar monitor whisper.

"Captain, all 12 anti-ship missiles have been intercepted."

Wu Ruoming staggered on his feet and almost lost his balance.

40 kilometers away, in the 052B main control room.

The radar monitor said to Zhou Qinglei.

"Report to Captain, successfully hit the enemy ship!"

"Reporting to captain, all anti-ship missiles were successfully intercepted!"

After hearing this, Zhou Qinglei was shocked by 052B's true combat level even though he had been prepared for it.

Taking a deep breath, he waved his hand and shouted.

"Destroy the Southern Fleet!"

"Yes! Captain!"

In the main control room of Southern Fleet 956E, the radar monitor shouted.

"Captain, the enemy opened fire again!"

Wu Ruoming clenched his fists with an angry look on his face.

The result was as expected, the three old and small boats struggled hard and couldn't even resist the first round and were directly 'killed'!
  "Captain, all four of our warships have been killed!"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Ruoming couldn't hold himself any longer. He held the console with one hand and held on to prevent himself from falling.

Among the three major fleets, the Southern Fleet, which has the highest claim to win the championship, has withdrawn early!
  Cheng Yiqiang, who was responsible for observing the Southern Fleet at the observatory, stood stunned on the spot after receiving the results!

It's over, it's over, the Southern Fleet is the first to leave, how can I report to Chief Qian!
