Chapter 1118: Dealing with Them with Battleships

"Who said that Huaxia's missiles were only on torpedo boats and destroyers?" Someone complained angrily, and the Allies were silent for a while.

Some time ago, the appearance of Huaxia anti-ship missiles was mainly loaded on destroyers and torpedo boats, which made some people mistakenly think that missiles were just a supplement to the large-caliber naval guns of those cruisers and battleships, at least they thought that such a match was in the Huaxia Navy, who knew that the appearance of these three missile battleships subverted many people's ideas.

Those who constantly criticize the Chinese people in their hearts and draw small circles, but they don't know Meng Xiang's suffering.

In the original history, there were missile cruisers before the Cuban crisis in 62 years, whether it was the Baltimore-class that the Americans converted in 53, or the Lech class of the Americans and the Grozny of the Soviet Russians who were commissioned in 62 years, Meng Xiang had already produced advanced weapons laboratories in China. But compared with their power and cost, and even in terms of strategic deployment, these early missile destroyers are not as good as those relatively cheap and convenient destroyers, frigates and missile boats.

And those missile cruisers after 62 years, even if they are built in the base, the price is still high, which makes Meng Xiang feel distressed, and because key technologies such as large-scale integrated circuits and optical cables have not yet made breakthroughs, the performance of some weapons is limited, and it is not conducive to the digestion, absorption and improvement of Huaxia's scientific and technological level at this time, so after having a first-class Red Alert missile cruiser with similar performance, Meng Xiang did not choose the historical version of the missile cruiser. Instead, with the idea of missile battleships and arsenal ships, they chose to renovate the battleships themselves.

Between the huge deterrence and cost performance of the battleship in the land attack, as well as the uncertainty of their own modification technology, and even a trace of nostalgia and collection of the realistic version of the battleship, the abducted Bismarck battleship continued to remain as it was, and Meng Xiang only modified the Tirpitz. The Montana class is only the unfinished one that was replaced when it was outfitted, and the Guam captured from the Philippines is also the same.

Even if it is a missile battleship, except for a super-sized Yamato-class that is being refurbished from Japan on the Chinese mainland, Meng Xiang does not plan to go through the trouble of refitting more missile battleships. Even if necessary, the base version of the Red Alert dreadnought battleship that can continue to be upgraded is obviously more cost-effective.

However, the missile battleships of only three ships have already shown their hideous and invincible side, and the nearly 100 missiles that spilled out in one breath swept away those large and small warships.

"Whatever the hell they are. All have to be given a heavy blow. Restore low morale! Admiral Jin understands that he can't continue to cower like this, otherwise not only will the entire plan to encircle and suppress the Huaxia be aborted, but the entire world's maritime pattern will cause great changes in the future.

"If it was really a battleship modification, ordinary naval guns would not be able to break through their armor!" Someone worried.

Although the existing missiles were all attacks from the deck, as long as the deck was cleared by normal naval artillery bombardment, no one in the Allies knew about it, and they feared that these warships would have other backs. Hidden under armor. In this way, it is not only difficult to completely destroy the opponent, but it is easy to be caught off guard by the opponent.

"To deal with battleships, you have to use battleships!" Someone suggested.

Originally, some people planned to suggest dispatching a bomber formation carrying huge aerial bombs, but seeing the Huaxia fighter group that was like a halo of sky hovering over those missile battleships, crowding the Allied fighters from penetrating, and then thinking about the ship-to-air missiles that shot down many Allied jet fighters in the sky before. The words came to his lips and he swallowed them back.

Those ship-to-air missiles may have some omissions against fighter jets, but they are accurate against those bulky and large bombers. Many people skipped this trick and went straight to the battleship.

"Yes, missiles have little effect on battleships, battleships should be dispatched!" Someone immediately answered.

Since the advent of anti-ship missiles, there has never been a record of battleships being sunk, and even damaged ones are rare.

In a series of records of battleship sinking in the battles of China and the United States and Japan. The Allies also realized the holes in the air defense of the battleships. In addition to increasing the anti-aircraft guns on the battleships, aircraft carriers were specially incorporated to accompany them.

Those missile boats, frigates and even destroyers that raid with missiles. The anti-aircraft capability is extremely limited, and because of the lack of professional personnel, it is impossible for Huaxia's HNA to accompany the escort. Therefore, they could not afford to defend themselves effectively alone, but they could only choose those Allied transport fleets to attack those escorting cruisers and destroyers, or those valuable large merchant ships, troop carriers, oil tankers, etc.

Even with the presence of escort carriers in the Allies, these raiding missile ships need to be extremely cautious. If it weren't for the attack by Huaxia's aircraft carriers, there would definitely not be a record of those aircraft carriers being sunk by missiles.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the Huaxia General Staff Headquarters did not advise them to attack battleship formations and aircraft carrier formations.

And those who attacked the Chinese transport fleet were also less battleships, more maneuverable cruisers and destroyers. The counterattack of the Huaxia missile ships generally does not need to fight against the battleships.

Even if they encounter battleship formations, Huaxia's missile ships generally avoid them, occasionally launching missiles, and the missiles carried on those small and medium-sized ships are difficult to kill the battleships, and the test records of those slightly primitive anti-ship missiles of the Allies are not good, which makes the Allies mistakenly believe that battleships can become the nemesis of missile ships.

When someone proposed to send a battleship, it immediately attracted a nod of approval from everyone.

Admiral Kim had no other choice, and was anxious to equalize the disadvantage, and soon mobilized 3 battleships. Among them was also a British battleship.

The sudden appearance of this missile giant ship in China has made the United States and Britain extremely tempted, and they all want to take this opportunity to win a little more loot.

Britain and the United States have always used their thinking to consider their opponents, and they thought that with the help of battleships to get up against that missile strike, they might be able to force the Chinese to surrender and capture these missile giants.

Since a large number of missiles have emerged in China, the United States and Britain have been stepping up research and development, but they have not received the German heritage, and they have not accumulated technology before, so they can only go around at the threshold of missile technology for the time being, and have never developed practical missiles that can compete with Huaxia missiles. Perhaps this time a large number of Huaxia missiles can be captured, so as to make a breakthrough, and even directly obtain all the secrets of a new warship with great lethality, such as the missile giant ship.

The British sent the powerful Striker, and the Americans brought back the more heavily armored Montana-class Ohio and the Iowa Illinois, with Admiral Stark himself directing the attack.

The three steel behemoths stepped out of the Allied fleet and prepared to meet the three missile battleships that were unhurriedly heading this way. For a moment, the eyes of the entire sea seemed to be focused on the duel between the missile spear and the battleship steel giant shield.

But before everyone could find a better viewing angle, and even many people's telescopes did not find the target for observation, the three missile battleships in the Huaxia array each launched two thicker and more slender missiles.

"It's still far away, at least 30 miles. Could it be that another submarine is approaching? Some of the onlookers couldn't help but be surprised that Huaxia missiles began to emerge from a 30-kilometer attack just after a 30-kilometer attack.

Some people also think of the ultra-long-range land missiles that the Germans once fired, and although they have no objection to the range, they are extremely disdainful of that accuracy.

Without waiting for everyone's thoughts to flip, and even before the three Allied soldiers had made too many defensive measures, the six Huaxia missiles crossed more than 50 kilometers in an instant and flew above their heads.

Although the anti-aircraft artillery also rang out in bursts, it could not stop the missiles from diving at high speed.

"Boom!" There was an earth-shattering bang, and a burst of flames rose from the British's Striker.

The crowd, who did not expect Huaxia to attack so quickly, was once again surprised by the power of these missiles, and couldn't help but be stunned for a while, until the sound of a series of explosions of missiles hitting the target woke everyone up, and everyone realized what was going on.

"Cake sellers! This, this, those missiles, seriously damaged the battleship? "A lot of people are incoherently unleashing the horror in their hearts.

The Huaxia's naval guns were only 40 kilometers away at most, and the missiles used to only surprise at twenty or thirty kilometers outside the effective range of the cruiser's guns, but now these missiles attacked from 50 kilometers away completely subverted everyone's concept of sea firepower range, and they also damaged the most powerful battleship with a single blow.

The Striker was the most unlucky, hitting the vital point with three of them. The Allies have always ignored the SS-N-3, which weighs 5.4 tons, and the warhead is filled with 1 ton of high-energy explosives without carrying a nuclear warhead, and the inertial kinetic energy that can reach Mach 1.2 can reach the maximum destructive power.

With only these 3 missiles, the Vanguard was directly paralyzed in a series of boiler explosions.

The nightmare continued to strike, and the hapless British did not know that the Vanguard-class Vanguard, which the umbrella had sold to them, itself had a back door, and under the guidance of the radar and satellites of the Huaxia sub-base, it was as dazzling as a fluorescent bug in the night.

When another round of Shaddock missiles hit two again, the Vanguard was unwilling to carry more than 1,900 British sailors who were screaming and crying all over the ship, and slowly sank to the bottom of the sea under the raging fire.

At this time, the Montana-class Ohio was also following in its footsteps, struggling on the edge of the abyss of death after being hit hard by four Shaddock missiles. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
