Tokyo Detective

Chapter 567 Severely Damaging the Seventh Fleet
8 PM, Yokosuka Port.

At this moment, the entire port resounded with the high-pitched and sharp sound of air raid sirens. The vast Yokosuka No. 1 port, home to America, was in turmoil as many America naval officers shouted loudly.

"Hurry up, enemy planes will be here soon. Everyone get back to your posts."

The temporarily deployed anti-aircraft guns were loaded and operated manually by the marines.

Meanwhile, on the warships, the navy hurriedly launched additional missiles, and all the warships were on high alert, preparing all the means they could use.

Dozens of close-in weapon systems were activated, Sea Sparrow and other point defense missiles were ready to launch at any time, electronic countermeasures systems were activated, and even optical tracking and interception methods were activated.

The small port was crammed with warships, including seven large warships, two cruisers over 10,000 tons, five destroyers approaching 10,000 tons, seven Freedom-class littoral combat ships, and many other warships such as supply ships, totaling more than 20 ships.

If we were to be bombed, huddling together wouldn't be a good thing.

Therefore, the outer warships planned to sail out of the port and enter the predetermined positions for air defense.

DDG-59, the captain of the Type 2 destroyer USS Arleigh Burke roared at his flustered colleagues.

"Is Dig Washington trying to destroy our Seventh Fleet? He knows radar-guided missiles are useless, yet he still launches them. Damn it, damn it."

The first mate, standing to the side, remained silent; it was also his first time fighting such a difficult air defense battle.

Just then, a messenger relayed an order from Fleet Commander Dig Washington.

"Use every means to intercept enemy missiles. Given the lack of air defense, the fleet can use ship guns to retaliate. Afterwards, it can be said that the YMCA's missiles were the cause."

"."

The captain was immediately taken aback.

"Has Dig gone mad? The southwest is an urban area. Using naval guns would cause innocent people to die. I'm confirming with headquarters again. I don't believe this is an order a commander should give."

Soon the captains received a reply from headquarters.

"Whoever wants to use it can use it; I won't stop them from going to destroy Yokosuka Port along with the warship."

"asshole."

They were right. Since confirming that our aircraft were nearly wiped out and that enemy aircraft were flying toward Yokosuka Port, Dig Washington had gone mad.

Since the future is going to be terrible no matter what, he can't care about that. He can't be the only one who is unhappy. His bloodshot eyes prove his madness.

America's fleet's radar is now half-dead, with only the infrared search system still usable. The space-based infrared system high in the sky can still lock onto enemy tracks, but is that useful?

It's useless. All warships only have two types of infrared missiles. The first type is the RIM-116 "Rolling Body Missile," which can only intercept very low-altitude anti-ship missiles. The second type is the Sea Sparrow surface-to-air missile, which has a maximum range of 50 kilometers, but its thrust is insufficient beyond 30 kilometers, and its speed is only Mach 3.

Even hypersonic missiles were ineffective; no one can guarantee that these sea sparrows will be useful.

As for the defense of Tokyo Bay, it was rendered useless due to the loss of radar capabilities.

There are three types of air defense measures in Tokyo Bay.

The first type, the land-based Patriot system, relies entirely on radar guidance, so it's useless.

The second type is sea-based air defense: Aegis ships, whether they have Standard Missile 3 or Standard Missile 6, are radar-guided, so they are useless.

The third type is air-based interception: Japan Air Self-Defense Force fighter jets.

The only effective air-based interception system has just been destroyed, so Tokyo Bay is now like an undefended beauty.

As the Hanyu Air Squadron approached within 40 kilometers, a captain finally couldn't withstand the pressure and opened fire. The 155mm naval gun missed the aircraft but instead struck Kamakura, a city that was once an ancient capital.

"Boom boom boom boom boom"

Of course, only a minority dared to fire, because most captains knew there were better options, such as the Sea Sparrow II anti-aircraft missile, which could be guided by both radar and infrared. However, not every ship was equipped with the Sea Sparrow II; most warships only had the Sea Sparrow II with radar guidance.

In a short time, 87 Sea Sparrow II missiles were launched into the air, and some warships that did not have the Sea Sparrow II also launched the Sea Sparrow I, with one main force participating.

In the sky, Naoki Hanyu naturally noticed the incoming missile attack, having become quite adept at dealing with infrared missiles after numerous encounters.

"coming."

All the fighter jets entered supersonic mode and took off, leaving behind blue plasma shields that were clearly visible in the sky.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom"

A barrage of missiles exploded, and dazzling fireworks illuminated Kamakura City, leaving the already battered citizens in a state of panic.

Meanwhile, the fighter jets continued to advance, but one of them was unlucky enough to be hit in the tail by a Sea Sparrow missile.

The crashing fighter jet, under the control of the clone, flew towards the mountains surrounding Kamakura City to avoid hitting innocent people. He let out a final shout before he died.

"Captain, avenge me!"

Naoki Hanyu's eyes were filled with coldness, not because of the death of his clone, but because it was the first time he had lost a heavy weapon. Damn America's navy.

Soon, when they were 20 kilometers from their destination, the second wave of Sea Sparrow missiles attacked again. This time, Naoki Hanyu and his team were prepared and flew at low altitude, using the mountains for cover. The missiles still hit the shield.

As the fighter jets passed over Hayama, Yokosuka Port came into view.

"We'll attack once we get within 5 kilometers. I'm going to wipe out these warships in one fell swoop."

"clear."

As the fighter jets approached, some close-in weapon systems also began firing.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom"

Shells exploded in mid-air, but not a single enemy plane was hit. Instead, the enemy planes got closer and closer, 10 kilometers, 5 kilometers, which made some experienced naval personnel turn pale.

What does it mean for an F-35 fighter jet to launch a missile at a warship within 5 kilometers? It means certain death.

Dig Washington let out his final roar.

"Madmen, they're all madmen. As expected, the Japanese are always madmen."

F-35投射超音速反舰导弹，从5公里突袭到命中仅需6-8秒，而舰载防御系统从探测到拦截的完整流程需要5-10秒。

Although the Phalanx CIWS has a range of less than 3 kilometers, it takes 10 seconds to aim, which is obviously not enough time.

The Sea Sparrow point defense missile has a minimum range of 5 kilometers, which is below the usable range, so it cannot be intercepted.

In modern warfare, the outcome of defense depends on forward sensing and system-wide confrontation, rather than "miraculous maneuvers" in the last mile. The main force of the Seventh Fleet is about to face the arrival of death.
.
A distance of 5 kilometers is the perfect distance for Naoki Hanyu; close-in weapon systems can't reach them, and all their air defense capabilities are rendered useless.

"Launch anti-ship missiles."

"Launch anti-ship missiles."

Each F-35 launched its only two anti-ship missiles simultaneously, crashing into their respective targets like deadly meteors.

Faced with the missiles displayed on the radar, the ship captains could only utter their final shouts.

"Phalanx CIWS"

"No"

The next second, anti-ship missiles hit the warship one after another (if they can't even hit it from five kilometers away, they shouldn't be in the game).

In an instant, it was as if a magnitude 10 earthquake had struck the ship; the people inside were either swallowed by the explosion or thrown to pieces.

The unluckiest warship was hit in the ammunition depot and fuel depot, resulting in an explosion powerful enough to shatter the warship.

In an instant, flames soared into the sky over the entire port. Seven main warships and more than ten other warships were either sunk or rendered inoperable, becoming coffins at sea.

Naoki Hanyu glanced at the situation and continued to issue orders; he only knew how to kick a man when he was down.

"Drop guided bombs. Target: the entire America base in Yokosuka Port." From the moment the America Navy dared to intervene, it was a fight to the death.

The clones couldn't help but show excitement.

"Haha, I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

The Hanyu Squadron dropped all of its remaining bombs on Yokosuka Port, and small mushroom clouds rose continuously, creating a sweltering heatwave.

Two more rounds for the warships that haven't sunk yet, two more for the shipyard, two more for the armory, and two more for areas with high naval concentration.

Even the naval headquarters was hit by a 480-kilogram bomb, and very few people in the entire headquarters survived.

[Ding! Intentional homicide, condensing 9 stars of sin.]

Naoki Hanyu glanced at the prompt but didn't pay much attention to it, and continued with the mission.

In an instant, all the citizens of Yokosuka saw the America's base exploding continuously, with towering flames illuminating the sky.

Numerous videos surfaced online, reigniting public outrage over the frequent crashes of fighter jets.

"Is this the work of the YMCA again?"

"In Japan, besides the YMCA, what other organization is so vicious?"

"Good heavens, even Yokosuka Port has been bombed. I'm afraid the entire air defense force in Tokyo Bay is now useless."

"Who will dare to stop the YMCA from now on?"

"Heh, upstairs, even if what happened tonight hadn't happened, no one would have dared to stop the YMCA."

"Who said that? My idol Naoki Hanyu is brave. He has been able to turn the tide against the Youth Association's assassination attempts many times."

"America's Seventh Fleet has suffered heavy losses."

America's Seventh Fleet's main force consists of one aircraft carrier, three guided-missile cruisers, 11 guided-missile destroyers, and five littoral combat ships.

One amphibious assault ship (USS America) was sunk by the YMCA last year, along with two amphibious dock landing ships, eight supply ships, six attack nuclear submarines, and one cruise missile submarine.

Today, the Seventh Fleet has lost half of its main warships; it has truly been crippled.

The five-legged building, which had been closely monitoring the battle, fell silent. Although they were saddened by the destruction of the two air force wings, it was not as serious as the annihilation of the entire fleet.

The F-35 costs around $8000 million. Even if 70 are lost, the loss would only amount to a little over $50 billion, which America's military industry can replenish in a short time.

But warships are different. A single warship costs more than a billion US dollars, or even two or three billion. Such a large-scale loss would be worth far more than 10 billion.

Moreover, given America's current shipbuilding industry decline, it takes eight years to build an aircraft carrier, and at least five to ten years to replenish the missing warships.

The newly appointed Secretary of Defense, Anthony (who felt that the word "defense" might be a landmine), broke out in a cold sweat. Was he kidding? He had only been in office for less than two months and was already facing such a major event. Was he going to have to resign?
Just then, the chief of staff gave a reminder.

“Minister, I believe this situation is due to operational errors by some officers. Our America’s military equipment is still capable of handling everything.”

Carmelo Anthony, who was only in his early forties, was stunned. Was this the time to say something like that?

No, now is the time to be calculating. Only by shifting the blame onto others can he, as the highest-ranking official, bear less responsibility.

"Yes, yes, we need to set up a special task force to investigate this matter, hold the officers responsible for the operational error accountable, and bring them to a military court. We'll go right now."

The chief of staff immediately stopped the young man in front of him, feeling that the man was a bit impetuous.

The president is young, and even the ministers are young. What will become of this country's future?
"Minister, we can wait on the investigation. The most important thing now is to arrange for the 11th Fighter Wing at Aomori Air Base. As the main force for defending the north, we cannot afford to lose it."

Anthony understood what he meant.

"You mean you want them to withdraw?"

"The YMCA's air force continues its northward advance. Do you think we can win with just 50 F-35 fighter jets?"

"But the YMCA's fighter jets probably don't have much ammunition left."

The chief of staff sighed.

"Indeed not much, about one-third of it, enough to destroy our only air force on the Japanese mainland."

Is it the only one?
Anthony understood that this single point was crucial; losing the fighter jets at the Aomori base would mean losing the deterrent effect on the north.

Moreover, only the Okinawa Air Force remains as an air force base in Japan. Okinawa is thousands of kilometers away from Japan and cannot reach the mainland at all.

"Let them retreat. We'll consider returning to Tokyo Bay once America has prepared equipment to counter the YMCA."

"Minister, a wise choice."

The Tokyo area is the core area of ​​the YMCA. In the past, it was fine before the relationship was completely broken, but now that the YMCA has destroyed the Yokosuka Port base, they dare not station troops there anymore.

Even if they dare to station troops there, so what? The YMCA can still eat them up whenever they want. Do they have the right to say no?

Air raid sirens wailed over Tokyo as Naoki Hanyu led his squadron to intercept America's last air force wing, only to find that the enemy had turned and left without firing a single shot.

"Good heavens, why did they run away?"

"They chickened out. I never thought an American would be a coward."

"Now how to do?"

Naoki Hanyu gave a reply.

"The plan remains the same: fly a low-altitude circle around the Tokyo metropolitan area. As for the remaining explosives, I'll see where we can drop a couple."

Shortly afterward, the Prime Minister's official residence was hit by a bomb, destroying half of the building. On the other side, the Locust Residence was also bombed, and two villas that were likely Locusts' residences were reduced to ruins.

Of course, it was impossible to kill the target by blowing them up; those two guys had already taken refuge in the air-raid shelter.
.
Tonight will be a sleepless night for all of Japan, especially in the Tokyo area, where ordinary citizens have seen a squadron of fighter jets circling the Tokyo metropolitan area.

When the time was right, the fighter jet plunged into the cloud-covered area, quickly reduced its speed, activated its stealth function to the maximum, making it undetectable by the space-based infrared system, and then was taken away by Naoki Hanyu himself.

By the time the clouds dispersed and the satellites monitored the earth again, the F-35 fighter squadron had long since vanished without a trace.

At midnight, online discussions were still escalating, even reaching international audiences, as America's scandal was truly captivating.

Suddenly, a video of the YMCA speaking out appeared, still featuring a spokesperson named Wu.

"Today's operation is the YMCA's effort to combat foreign forces that endanger national security. That organization is called the Assassin's Guild, one of the world's three major assassination platforms."

Their goal is to kill all those in the Japanese government who disobey the Prime Minister. That's right, according to the Yonko's investigation, the Assassin Guild was hired by the Prime Minister's associates and Tianhuang, and they will cooperate with the Assassin Guild in all their actions.

"While we were acting for national security, the defense forces and the American garrison dared to ignore our warnings and declare war. Therefore, the YMCA launched an operation last night against all hostile forces, shooting down a total of 85 aircraft and sinking 14 American warships."

"."

The YMCA's statement caused a public uproar; no one expected that there was such a hidden story behind last night's battle.

The Assassin's Guild, the Neon and America's Air Force, the America's Navy—in just one night, the Yonko's destructive power was enough to arm the air and naval forces of a medium-sized nation.

In particular, the fact that Tianhuang was secretly plotting with the Prime Minister to eliminate all political enemies through the assassin alliance is something that no faction in the political arena can tolerate.

Regardless of whether it's the opposition party or other factions within the ruling party, support for the prime minister has significantly diminished.

The cabinet government, of course, wouldn't ignore it. Unable to wait until dawn, they summoned reporters at 2 a.m. for a press conference, and the huge red envelopes left everyone speechless with objections.

"It's all slander and defamation by the YMCA. The Prime Minister has absolutely nothing to do with any assassin alliance. It's just an excuse the YMCA is using to justify terrorist attacks."

The cabinet government did react quickly, but Oda Riko forgot one thing: in terms of public trust, the Yonko Association seems to have a higher level of credibility than this cabinet government.
The YMCA also presented real evidence: wiretapped conversations.
