When the fight began, the most concerned was not the air battle, but the Fourth Fleet, which was about to be destroyed

After receiving the news that the six J-13Bs had been shot down, Xiang Linghui immediately asked the naval aviation unit's water patrol plane to go to the area where the pilot parachuted, and then looked at the big screen in the center without saying a word

Whether or not the Japanese Fourth Fleet can be annihilated depends on whether the first round of attacks can achieve the desired results

48 anti-ship missiles of the C-604 type are definitely not vegetarian

Compared with the previous generation of C-603 anti-ship missiles, the Chong-604 adopts a "rocket stamping integration" type, but has a longer range and faster speed, and can also carry more powerful warheads and more guidance equipment

The C-604's greatest feature is its powerful autonomous attack capability

In order to deal with the air defense network of the US aircraft carrier battle group, which is composed of carrier-based fighters, area air defense missiles, point air defense missiles, and terminal interception systems, and to ensure the safety of the carrier aircraft, in addition to allowing the carrier aircraft to launch missiles at the greatest possible distance, the anti-ship missiles must have a strong penetration capability

Whether it is to increase the flight speed or reduce the flight altitude, it can only improve the penetration capability of the missile to a limited extent

Only by adopting a variety of guidance modes to improve the missile's anti-jamming capability and setting up a variety of attack modes to increase the missile's penetration means can the missile's penetration capability be effectively improved

The C-604 anti-ship missile has three autonomous guidance modes: active radar, passive radar, and infrared / ultraviolet dual band phase

In the test launch before finalization, the guidance system + test of the C-604 anti-ship missile successfully found and locked the target in an extremely complex electromagnetic environment, and destroyed the target

The C-604 anti-ship missile has two attack methods: one is a high-altitude dive attack and the other is a sea-skimming attack

The high-altitude dive attack is faster, the trajectory of the terminal stage is extremely steep, which makes it more difficult for the enemy's air defense missile to intercept the ground, and the sea-skimming attack has a low flight altitude, which is more concealed and shortens the interception time of the enemy's air defense system

Actual combat confrontation proves that the most ideal effect can only be achieved by combining the two attack methods

To enhance strike capabilities, the C-604 anti-ship missile is equipped with a variety of warheads

In addition to dealing with aircraft carriers, large warships such as cruisers and destroyers, and high-explosive warheads, the C-604 ship missile also has two kinds of special warheads: one is a ground-based warhead that is rarely used on anti-ship missiles, and the other is a ground-based electromagnetic interference warhead that specializes in dealing with electronic equipment

The pilots of the naval test unit know best what role these two warheads can play when attacking surface warships

As the commander of the test unit, Xiang Linghui knew very well what was going to happen next

Of the 12C-13 anti-ship missiles launched by the 48B fighters, 12 are equipped with a sub-mother warhead, 12 are equipped with electromagnetic interference warheads, and the other 24 are all equipped with semi-armor-piercing warheads

As anti-ship missiles entered the interception range of the fleet's air defense system, Yu Hashimoto was also aware of the impending disaster

Relying on the target information provided by the early warning planes, the two destroyers each launched 24 "Standard-6" air defense missiles before the missiles entered the detection range of the "Aegis" radar

Limited by the number of fire control channels, two air defense destroyers can guide up to 24 missiles to intercept 12 air targets

It was also at this time that 12 anti-ship missiles suddenly climbed and entered the high altitude

The situation changed drastically, and the officers and men on the air defense destroyers were not in a hurry, and immediately relied on the target data obtained by the "Aegis" radar to each issue guidance instructions to the 12 "Standard-6" missiles that had just taken off

In passive guidance mode, the probability of destruction of high-altitude targets by the Standard-6 anti-aircraft missile exceeded 95%

Two "Standard-6" against one anti-ship missile, with a probability of destruction of more than 99%, can be regarded as foolproof

It's just that the officers and men on the Japanese battleship didn't get complacent for long

Just shot down 4 anti-ship missiles, the remaining 8 anti-ship missiles suddenly "disintegrated" Dozens of "targets" appeared on the radar screens of the two air defense destroyers With the help of powerful fire control computers, the fire control systems of the two air defense destroyers quickly made a judgment, and that was not dozens of missile fragments, but dozens of "missiles"

At this time, the Japanese officers and men on the battleship were dumbfounded

The fire control system was not "dumbfounded", and without human intervention, the fire control radars of the two destroyers quickly locked on to the 8 most threatening targets, guiding the remaining 16 "Standard-6" anti-aircraft missiles to intercept

Having reacted, the fire control officer on the air defense destroyer immediately adjusted his tactics

The remaining 24 "Standard-6" anti-aircraft missiles re-locked on to the target and fired at the "anti-ship missiles" approaching from a high altitude, and in the face of dozens of "missiles", the 24 "Standard-6" appeared to be a drop in the bucket

In the blink of an eye, the 48 "Standard-6" that had just lifted off were consumed

The problem was in front of Yu Hashimoto, the two air defense destroyers carried a total of 72 "Standard-6, 24 were wasted when intercepting fighters, and the remaining 48 were all fired without missiles and radar performance

There are more than 20 targets at high altitude, and at least more than 30 T3 bombs at low altitude

It is impossible to shoot down all anti-ship missiles with only a point defense system with limited capabilities

The captains of the "King Kong" and "Atago" did not hesitate

In the face of the menacing anti-ship missiles, both captains ordered the interception of the "Standard-3 anti-aircraft missile" in accordance with the air defense combat regulations

At this time, the "anti-ship missile" approaching from a high altitude was only 25 meters away from the flagship of the Fourth Fleet

Time does not wait for me, and the computer-controlled warship air defense system will not pay attention to whether it is cost-effective to intercept millions of anti-ship missiles with "Standard-3 sea-based anti-missile missiles worth tens of millions of dollars" In just over 10 seconds, the MK41 vertical launch system on the two air defense warships launched 24 "Standard-3 anti-aircraft missiles at a rate of 1 per second."

At the same time, point air defense systems on flagships with universal destroyers were put into battle

Although the "Advanced Sea Sparrow" has a maximum range of 40 kilometers, it has a range of only 20 kilometers when dealing with missile targets

Each universal destroyer can only intercept 4 air targets at the same time

Because the missiles were coming directly from the front of the fleet, only the flagship "Hyuga" helicopter destroyer and the 2 "Takanami"-class general-purpose destroyers of the Fourth Fleet participated in the fleet's air defense operations in a timely manner, and the 4 "Murayu"-class general-purpose destroyers located behind the two anti-submarine detachments could only stare dryly

At this time, the "Aegis" radars of the "King Kong" and "Atago" recognized the "identity" of the high-altitude target

Yu Hashimoto and the captain of the 2nd ship were fooled, but the battle was not over

As the "Standard-3 anti-aircraft missiles shot down the "warheads" that were attacking from high altitudes one by one, the second batch of 12 C-604 anti-ship missiles rose from a low altitude and smashed them along a parabolic trajectory towards the Fourth Fleet

3 "Advanced Sea Sparrows" launched by 24 destroyers came head-on

The 2 anti-aircraft destroyers continued their efforts and fired all the remaining "Standard-3 anti-aircraft missiles."

In a place that cannot be seen by the naked eye, the 12 C-604 ship missiles that have reached the apex of the trajectory throw off the bulky ramjet engine, the warhead spun up rapidly under the control of the miniature rocket engine, and the thermal shield wrapped around the outside was thrown off, and the safety of the electromagnetic interference device was automatically disengaged and entered a working state under the action of centrifugal force

The high-energy electromagnetic pulse, invisible to the naked eye, spread out at the speed of light and sprinkled overwhelmingly towards the Fourth Fleet

The anti-aircraft radar and fire control radar on the destroyer immediately became deaf ears, and snowflakes of white light appeared on the screen of the air defense command

The anti-aircraft missiles were not spared, and all missed the target

The Japanese officers and men on the battleship immediately panicked and did not know what to do

Although the active radar on the missiles could not be used due to electromagnetic interference, the infrared/ultraviolet dual-band phasing guidance device was still able to detect and accurately identify warships at sea

The Japanese battleships also did not completely lose their ability to defend themselves

The self-defense weapon system, controlled by optical / infrared detection equipment, detected an anti-ship missile flying over the sea, and immediately automatically entered a combat state

The "Hyram" self-defense system on the 2 "Gaobo" class general-purpose destroyers opened fire first, and at an interval of two seconds, several "Hiram" anti-missile missiles were fired in succession

The fleet's air defense and anti-missile operations have entered the final and most thrilling stage

After the detection system of the 24 C-604 anti-ship missiles discovered the Japanese warship, it immediately compared it with the target characteristic signal stored in the fire control computer to find the "primary target", and the power section, which accounted for three-quarters of the missile's volume, was automatically separated from the warhead, and the warhead, which weighed 550 grams and was loaded with 200 grams of high-energy explosives, launched the final sprint at a speed of up to 3 Hz with the help of 64 rocket attitude control engines placed around the aerodynamic center point

The target suddenly changed, and the "Hyram" regarded the "projectile" with more obvious characteristics as a "high-threat target"

At the last moment, the destroyer's "Phalanx" rapid-fire guns automatically aimed and fired, firing a 20-meter tungsten-core armor-piercing projectile at a rate of 4,500 rounds per minute at the approaching missile warhead

It is a pity that the "Phalanx" was designed only to deal with subsonic anti-ship missiles

Even the Block3C "Phalanx" system can barely deal with supersonic anti-ship missiles with a speed of less than Mach 2 and no combat separation technology

In the face of the most advanced anti-ship missiles of the republic, the "Phalanx" appeared to be a little powerless

The penetration rate of 24 C-604 anti-ship missiles reached 75%, and the overall penetration rate also reached 375%

All 18 "warheads" smashed into the "Hyuga" helicopter destroyer and the "Kongo" and "Atago" air defense destroyers located in the center of the fleet

As long as the flagship and air defense destroyers are taken, the second attack can easily take out six general-purpose destroyers

If we take into account in advance that the air defense destroyer will run out of all long-range anti-aircraft missiles, I am afraid that Di Boqing and others will not make such arrangements when setting the fire control parameters

It also doesn't matter, whether it is the first attack on air defense destroyers, or the first attack on universal destroyers, the end of the Japanese Fourth Fleet will be much the same

Damn it*

The missile attack begins, the monthly pass is the reader's missile, start attacking, smash it! (To be continued)
