"Team Three...prepare for attack..."

......

After taking off, the Azure Phoenix Second Squadron received instructions from air traffic control, activated its orbment engines and afterburners, and flew straight toward the unknown aircraft at Mach 4. They would rendezvous with the first squadron that had taken off earlier and form a formation to intercept the enemy aircraft.

After all the drones that had completed their combat readiness on board the ship took off, the next step was to prepare for the departure of the manned aircraft.

The pilot entered the cockpit and began checking the aircraft's instruments. Ground crew inspected the aircraft's exterior, refueled it, and loaded it with ammunition. During the tense preparations, the pilot glanced at his comrades who had already completed their sortie preparations and were moving along the rails toward the flight deck.

He reached out and made a good luck gesture to his comrade, who immediately responded with the same gesture.

On the bridge, air traffic control continuously directed the carrier-based aircraft's sortie procedures.

"Fourth team...advance to flight deck..."

"Sixth squadron loaded with ammunition, resupply operation complete, fifth squadron take off..."

Chapter 357 Rabbit Rabbit Rabbit!

Almost the instant the "unidentified" underwater vehicle surfaced, the research fleet reacted.

"Report! 20 unidentified aircraft are approaching the fleet..." the radar officer shouted to the landing command. "...13 minutes until contact!"

"Fleet, commence air defense, anti-submarine, and anti-ship operations!"

Amidst the alarm, the crew quickly ran to their respective posts. The Type 054L frigate's fire control system was activated, and the Type 730 close-in weapon system rotated to face the direction from which the unknown aircraft were attacking. At the same time, the ship's guns also turned towards the sea monsters that were rushing across the sea.

In the vertical launch module, the pre-loaded HQ-9B long-range air defense missiles were powered on and entered launch preparation... The fleet adjusted its formation, escorting the research vessel to the very center of the fleet.

"Launch surface-to-air missiles, anti-submarine torpedoes, and anti-ship missiles!"

In the CIC of the Type 055L destroyer, the captain shouted the order.

The firepower of modern warships is no joke. The shipborne fire control radar instantly detected the oncoming aircraft, the vertical launch module opened, and HHQ-9B missiles were launched from the crater, flying out of the crater. Simultaneously, other warships also launched HHQ-9B anti-aircraft missiles...

One HHQ-9B missile after another, trailing long white lines, were launched from the vertical launch module as if they were free, engaging in saturation interception.

After takeoff, guided by its fire control system, the HHQ-9B flew directly into the oncoming group of aircraft...

After approaching the enemy formation, the radar system inside the HHQ-9B air defense missile's guidance head is activated to calculate and lock onto the aircraft's flight trajectory, and adjust its own trajectory to intersect with the aircraft's.

Anti-aircraft missiles don't directly collide with aircraft; instead, they seek and lock onto the "intersection point" of the aircraft. You can think of it as a flying creature with a large lollipop stick in its mouth, and the anti-aircraft missile is heading straight for the lollipop stick... It explodes at the location of the lollipop stick, causing the aircraft to "crash" into the shrapnel zone created by the explosion.

The unidentified aircraft immediately reacted to the incoming HHQ-9Bs, firing beams of light, seemingly mistaking these high-speed missiles for aircraft.

The beam weapon precisely targeted the missile, burning off its guidance system. Without its guidance head, the missile, like a blind man, wobbled aimlessly in the air for several weeks before exploding under its self-destruct system.

After intercepting more than ten HHQ-9B missiles, the unknown aircraft immediately dispersed. The remaining HHQ-9Bs closed the distance to the unknown aircraft, flexibly adjusting their flight trajectories to chase after it. The unknown aircraft was in the HHQ-9B's no-escape zone!

Beep beep beep... The HHQ-9B's guidance system locked onto its target with joint guidance, and it eventually exploded at the orbital intersection.

boom!

Shipborne air defense missiles are not the small, air-to-air missiles that are airborne. The HHQ-9 air defense missile has a longer acceleration phase, a larger no-escape zone, and a larger warhead!

Shrapnel and connecting rods scattered in all directions like a shower of flowers. The unknown aircraft that crashed into this area had a very high relative speed, and the shrapnel and connecting rods clattered against the shell made of unknown metal.

With a series of cracking sounds, the hull of an aircraft was pierced by a connecting rod, and it immediately plummeted towards the sea...

Other aircraft also suffered varying degrees of damage, though the destructive effect was much less than expected.

Jianzhi frowned slightly. The outer shell material of this aircraft was much stronger than that of human aircraft, which were thin-skinned and heavily armored. After all, the flight principle of this aircraft was completely different from that of human aircraft.

In that case, it's unclear how much damage air-to-air missiles would still have...

After breaking through the HHQ-9B air defense missile defense line, seven or eight unidentified flying objects were lost and entered the fleet's close-in defense range. At this point, the HHQ-9B missiles could no longer be launched, as there is a minimum range for missile launch!

The Type 054L corvette responsible for outer defense activated its Type 730 close-in weapon system. The seven-barreled 30M cannons tracked the unidentified flying object's trajectory and, guided by tracer rounds, accurately hit an enemy aircraft...

A barrage of 30mm shells instantly disintegrated the target in mid-air; it must be said that tungsten alloy projectiles are quite effective.

Upon detecting the threat from the warship, the cluster immediately fired lasers at it.

Lasers are uninterceptable. One after another, laser beams hit the Type 054L corvette, turning the deck red-hot. Fortunately, the power of the lasers was not enough to directly penetrate the armor, but they still damaged the Type 054L corvette. Some electronic equipment on the deck was burned, causing a fire.

Damage control personnel on board the ship risked their lives to rush to the burning area and began extinguishing the fire with fire extinguishers.

Upon seeing that a friendly ship had been damaged, another Type 054L frigate immediately went to provide support and relieve the pressure on the friendly forces.

The HHQ-10 short-range air defense missiles on the Type 055L destroyer turned to meet the incoming aircraft, and one HHQ-10 missile after another flew towards the aircraft.

This is only one aspect of the battle, as the attack involved not only air strikes but also threats from the sea.

Compared to unidentified flying objects, sea monsters pose a greater threat. After all, enemy flying objects are not armed enough to sink warships, but sea monsters can!

From the vertical launch module, the CY-5 anti-submarine missile was launched, flying towards the direction from which the sea monster was attacking...

After the CY-5 missile reached the target area, the rocket booster separated from the torpedo at the front. With the deceleration of the parachute, the torpedo approached the sea surface, and then the parachute separated from the torpedo, which crashed into the sea.

((?))

The active sonar quickly detected the sea monster and charged straight at it. However, this time, because the sea monster was at a greater depth, the torpedo could even launch a low-altitude attack and detonate below the sea monster!

With a deafening roar, the high-pressure water jet, shooting upwards like a sharp water blade, pierced through the sea monster's body, crushing it into chunks of flesh...

The attack by the Type 054L corvette was not over. The concealed torpedo launch ports at the rear of the corvette opened, and the launch tubes were extended to the sides.

With a muffled thud, the Yu-8 anti-submarine torpedo, propelled by high-pressure air, burst out of its launch tube and plunged into the azure sea, shooting towards the sea monsters with a white wake.

Torpedoes were launched one after another, covering the sea monster's advance area in a fan shape.

"Anti-ship missiles ready!"

"That's what the captain of the Type 055L corvette said in a deep voice."

In addition to sea monsters and aircraft, the enemy's carrier ships also came within range of anti-ship missiles.

Taking down the enemy's carrier ship is the top priority.

In the vertical launch module, the YJ-18 is ready for launch... The YJ-18 anti-ship missile has a maximum speed exceeding Mach 3, and the new model has a maximum range exceeding 500 kilometers. It flies at supersonic speed in the final stage, making it very difficult to intercept.

"emission!"

Chapter 358 Fierce Battle

The research fleet engaged in a comprehensive, three-dimensional battle with the enemy, with fierce confrontations taking place in the air, on the sea, and underwater.

The Type 039 submarine is in a rather awkward position. As an "assassin," it can only use its 533mm torpedoes to deal with the approaching sea monsters in this direct confrontation, thus relieving pressure on the fleet.

The Type 054L corvette is responsible for outer perimeter air defense and anti-submarine warfare. Its 730mm secondary guns continuously fire long whips of fire into the sky, occasionally striking enemy aircraft and reducing them to scrap. Countless spent shell casings lie scattered on the deck below the gun muzzles, some falling into the sea...

As for why the aircraft didn't explode, it's probably because its operating principle is different from that of human-made aircraft.

However, the 730's rate of fire is too fast, and its endurance is somewhat weak. After all, the 730 close-in weapon system is designed to deal with human anti-ship missiles and other high-threat targets, requiring only a short burst of fire and not sustained fire.

However, its weaknesses became apparent when confronting this first-ever anti-gravity aircraft... It was incredibly powerful when it had ammunition, but after running out of ammunition, it had a long cooldown period.

On the contrary, the main gun is more useful. The main gun of the Type 054L corvette can also be used for air defense, and the effect is quite good.

While engaging the enemy air force, the outer 054L frigates continuously bombarded the approaching sea monsters with anti-submarine rockets, 533mm Y-8 anti-submarine torpedoes, and CY-5 anti-submarine missiles.

The four Type 054L corvettes possessed formidable firepower, but the enemy was clearly also highly intelligent, and began to concentrate its attacks on a single Type 054L corvette.

The laser emitted by the aircraft continuously shone on the Type 054L corvette, causing the warship's deck to become extremely hot due to the high-energy laser. The damage control team risked being burned by using water hoses to pump seawater and spray it onto the warship to cool down the ever-heating deck.

The warship is returning to port and is expected to undergo major repairs. The metal fatigue and stress concentration caused by thermal expansion and contraction will have a significant impact.

"Quick! Quick! Spray water!"

Damage control team members carried high-pressure water guns and sprayed them onto the main gun, which was constantly being irradiated by lasers, to lower its temperature.

Swoosh, beams of laser light shone on the deck, evaporating the seawater on the deck surface into hot steam, making it difficult to breathe, and even burning the respiratory tract if one accidentally inhaled the hot steam.

"what!"

A scream rang out as a damage control team member was hit by the laser. His protective suit was instantly burned through, and the heat from the laser severely burned him. The team member collapsed to the ground in agony, writhing in pain.

Before the attacking aircraft could even turn, it was shot down by the Type 054 corvette's Type 730 close-in weapon system and plunged into the sea...

Taking advantage of the lull, his comrades quickly pulled him back and found that the comrade who had been irradiated by the laser had already gone into shock.

"Get him to the emergency room!!"

The medic first gave him an adrenaline injection, followed by a painkiller injection, and then transported him to the ship's medical station on a stretcher.

"Ship Command, Ship #3 is damaged and on fire..."

"Withdraw ship #3, and move ship #5 in!"

"Yes!"

After the fleet commander issued the order, the fire was serious. Ship No. 3, billowing thick smoke, retreated to the rear under the cover of friendly ships. Damage control personnel desperately used fire extinguishers to spray dry powder and suppress the fire inside the ship.

"Commander, enemy warships are making new moves..."

The transport ship's deck opened again, and another twenty small aircraft were deployed to the battlefield.

"Sink it! Launch tubes one and two, prepare!"

"Ready..."

"put!"

The YJ-18 anti-ship missile's rocket engine ignited, spewing a long flame from its tail, which then exited through a deflector from the other side of the vertical launch module...

Immediately, the missile soared into the sky, guided by the fire control radar of the Type 055L destroyer, heading towards the enemy's carrier ship...

The YJ-18, as an advanced anti-ship missile, rapidly descends its flight altitude after takeoff, skimming the sea surface as it flies towards the enemy.

"Message sent..."

"Launch tube number two, prepare! Fire!"

Another YJ-18 missile was launched from the vertical launch tube, creating saturation firepower with the first anti-ship missile launched.

Two YJ-18 missiles flew straight toward the enemy carrier ship. The two YJ-18s hit the enemy ship, enough to sink the carrier ship... Theoretically, the enemy carrier ship should have been sunk immediately, but the Chinese wanted to test whether the two sides could communicate.

Since the opponent has chosen to fight, then the rabbit doesn't need to hold back either!

"Main guns, prepare!"

After the two YJ-18 missiles were launched, the 130mm main gun of the Type 055 destroyer also adjusted its parameters and roared into action.

The enemy's carrier ship was not far from the Type 055L destroyer, and the main guns were sufficient to hit it.
