Traveling through 1937, I came to fight against the Kwantung Army

Of course, ship-to-air missiles are not omnipotent!

After the missile salvo,

Although more than 30 planes were shot down!

There were still more than a dozen US fighter planes that slipped quietly through the gaps in the defense line like black ghosts, and pounced on the Jingpo Lake battleship, as if to tear open the defense line of this steel giant and deliver a fatal blow.

On the battleship, hundreds of 20mm twin-barreled rapid-fire guns woke up instantly like enraged beasts.

The two barrels fired simultaneously, and the flames spurted out piercing the gray sky like blazing lightning. Shells rained down on the uninvited guests like a torrential rain, weaving a web of death and destruction around the fighter planes.

A fighter plane struggled in the fire net, and the shells pierced its wings like sharp arrows. It fell powerlessly into the sea like a bird with broken wings, and the splashing water seemed to be its last sigh.

Then, more fighter planes were drawn into the vortex of steel and fire. Every roar of the rapid-fire cannon was like a pronouncement of fate.

Fighter planes trembled and twisted in the gunfire, falling like leaves in the wind. Some turned into brilliant fireballs, emitting a brief and tragic light in the sky; others, with their broken bodies, slowly sank into the embrace of the sea.

12:47,

In the bridge room of the Jingbo Lake,

Jiang Xiaofan stood with his hands behind his back.

I am so excited!

His experiment was successful!

The battleship Jingpo Lake has shot down 57 of them while facing the siege of more than US aircraft!

The remaining few planes dodged and flew high in a panic under the intensive anti-aircraft artillery attacks of the battleships!

"Zone 3, 21-30, fire!"

Following the order from missile commander Liu Zhibei,

Ten ship-to-air missiles took off again.

All I heard was a series of explosions in the sky, and three more planes fell down!

For battleships, the biggest shortcoming is air defense, but now the addition of new weapons and ship-to-air missiles has actually made up for this shortcoming!

During the modification process of Jingpo Lake, which was designed by Jiang Xiaofan himself, 8 twin-mounted 133mm anti-aircraft guns and 42 40mm machine guns were removed!

At the same time, 8 missile launch areas were added, totaling 1124 vertical launch units, 4 of which were for cruise missiles and 4 for ship-to-air missiles!

All anti-aircraft guns were unified into 20mm twin-mounted machine guns, and the number increased to 108!

In this case, the air defense of 0-1000 meters will be handled by 20mm machine guns, and the airspace of 1000 meters will be handled by ship-to-air missiles!

Not only that, what's even more perverted is that Jiang Xiaofan also installed 64 small fire control radars, so that when his missiles are fired in salvo, he can track 64 air targets at the same time!

Tang Yantian gave unconditional support for this modification!

"Captain, the US aircraft carrier is 102 nautical miles away!" the radar soldier shouted.

He has to report every minute!

On the radar screen, the seven flashing green dots moving in opposite directions are getting closer and closer!

13:11,

The USS Forrestal aircraft carrier!

Bridge command room!

Stroh was anxiously waiting for the report on the battle situation.

The signalman suddenly stood up, put down his headset, his face pale, and reported to Stroh with a trembling voice: "Captain, the carrier-based aircraft reported that Haizhou used anti-aircraft missiles launched from warships, and the carrier-based aircraft suffered heavy losses! The entire army was basically wiped out!"

Stroh's eyes widened, his face full of shock and disbelief. He stood there for a moment, and countless questions flashed through his mind: How could Haizhou have such advanced weapons? Where did they get the technology?

Stroh knew that the United States had also begun formal testing of ship-to-air missiles. However, due to limited resources, the current priority for armament development was still air-to-air missiles. Ship-to-air missiles were only equipped on two destroyers of the Atlantic Fleet!

However, Haizhou State not only equipped air-to-air missiles on a large scale, but also equipped ship-to-air missiles on a large scale.

This series of changes was completely beyond his expectations. In his opinion, the technical level of Haizhou was far from enough to pose such a huge threat to the US military, but the reality before him was like a heavy hammer, hitting his heart hard.

The signalman came over and handed Stroh a telegram. He looked down and saw that it was a telegram from General Lehman, the commander of the US Army in the Far East, instructing another joint air raid on Yokosuka at 4:30 p.m.

Lehman was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the results of the morning's battle. In the afternoon, he mobilized 550 fighter planes of various types and notified the four aircraft carrier battle groups of the US Navy's Seventh Fleet in the Far East!

When Stroh saw the telegram, he suddenly came to his senses. With his keen sense, if Haizhou's missiles were deployed on a large scale, the US air strike would most likely pay a heavy price!

Stroh took a deep breath, his brain working rapidly, weighing every possible option. He knew that every decision at this moment was related to the life and death of the entire battle group.

"Immediately issue an order to all ships: turn 180 degrees, carry out emergency evacuation, and leave here as quickly as possible!" Stroh ordered firmly.

In an instant, the entire aircraft carrier battle group was in action. The huge aircraft carrier took the lead and slowly turned, stirring up layers of white waves.

"Captain, only five carrier-based aircraft have returned!" The hatch opened and the carrier-based aircraft commander Hansen reported with a look of horror!

Stroh took a deep breath and continued to instruct the signalman,

"Send a telegram to General Lehman and tell him that Haizhou has been equipped with ship-to-air missiles. Our carrier battle group has suffered heavy losses. It is recommended that the air strike on Yokosuka be cancelled!"

Stroh judged that since Haizhou State had this kind of air defense weapon, it would be meaningless for the US military to launch a large-scale war against Haizhou State before obtaining effective suppression weapons.

Just as the signalman was busy recording,

The radar soldier screamed again.

"Multiple super-fast unknown targets are attacking!"

Everyone looked up at the sky.

I saw more than a dozen cruise missiles in the air, like a group of deadly black ghosts, approaching from a distance at a very fast speed. These missiles were flying high in the sky, with long tail flames behind them, which looked particularly dazzling against the background of the gray sky.

Their flying posture was extremely stable, like a carefully calculated deadly hidden weapon, heading straight for the aircraft carrier.

As the missiles approached, the sharp whistling sound became louder and louder, as if a sharp blade was cutting at my ears. Each missile was like a bomb about to explode, with great power and unpredictability.

The crew members on the aircraft carrier looked at the approaching missiles with fear and tension on their faces. They held on to the handrails beside them tightly, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably.

The first missile rushed towards the sea surface in front of the port side of the aircraft carrier with the force of thunder. "Boom!" There was a loud noise, as if the sky was falling and the earth was splitting. A huge water column rushed up to the sky, tens of meters high. The sea water splashed in all directions like a cannonball and fell heavily on the deck of the aircraft carrier.

Immediately afterwards, the second, the third... one missile after another exploded around the aircraft carrier, causing huge waves on the sea. The entire aircraft carrier was shaking in the violent vibration, as if it would be swallowed up by the surging waves at any time.

Stroh tightly grasped the handrail of the command platform, his body swaying violently with the shaking of the aircraft carrier, trying to keep his balance. He was still secretly hoping that none of the missiles from Haizhou Kingdom would hit him!

"Boom! Boom!" Two explosions sounded almost at the same time!

A missile hit the middle of the right side of the aircraft carrier hard. The huge impact force caused the hull of the aircraft carrier to twist violently, and the sound of metal tearing was extremely harsh.

Immediately afterwards, a huge fireball rose up at the point of impact. Flames and thick smoke instantly enveloped the entire right side. The heat wave hit people's faces, burning their skin.

Another missile happened to hit the aircraft carrier's engine room. The violent explosion instantly tore the bulkhead of the engine room, high-temperature flames and shock waves raged, the steam pipe ruptured, and high-pressure steam gushed out.

The main engine equipment was severely damaged, the generator stopped working, and the power transmission system was paralyzed. The alarms in the damage control center sounded one after another, indicating that the danger level in the engine room had reached the highest level.

The aircraft carrier's power system suffered severe damage, and its speed dropped sharply from the original 30 knots to less than 10 knots, like a wounded beast struggling hard on the sea.
