Red Alert Somalia - 995 Chapter 993 Hurricane Sweeping Fleet

The power of mankind has never been equated with the power of nature once. It is not that the destructive power of mankind cannot reach the level of nature, but that mankind has always been too small in front of nature.

At this moment, all the officers and soldiers on the entire NATO combined fleet do not even know the earth-shattering events that have occurred in Europe. The whole war has not waited for the victory or defeat, and has begun to tilt.+

However, even if they knew it, they were already overwhelmed.

The joint battle group with a combat area spanning thousands of kilometers is already extremely tough in every way, but in front of nature, this so-called toughness is just a small worm under a big tree, and it will never be able to Shake the stalwart tree.

The four words “Zhang Da Yang” have been the slogans of courage passed by generations of sailors since the era of great navigation.

With modern advanced shipbuilding technology, mankind has almost realized this great slogan.

However, today, the super aircraft carrier, which represents the highest navigation technology of mankind, undulates in the sea like a leaf boat. Although it will not sink, it has already made the thousands of officers and soldiers on the aircraft carrier unsteady.

A large number of advanced equipment inside and outside the aircraft carrier has all been damaged to varying degrees.

This is the first natural disaster that this pair of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers have faced since the launch of the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

But this time, they were faced with huge waves tens of meters high, and the wind they faced was nearly a hundred meters per second. It was not easy for the aircraft carrier to still waver on the sea.

In just ten minutes, there were tens of thousands of sailors in the Indian Ocean, countless equipment and ships.It has become a new habitat for underwater creatures.

But for the warships on the periphery of the hurricane, it is really not as good as being blown over in one breath.

Every sailor who has lived at sea for a long time.Can’t stand the super bumpy boat, everyone is swaying.The legs do not even know where to step on.

On the command ship on the outermost periphery of the Pacific Ocean, watching the swirling nest clouds gathering on the distant sea and the dark and gloomy sky, Harris and Konobu, who were commanded by the fleet by Osprey transport, were already bleeding in their hearts.

Due to the hurricane, the satellite was lost and the early warning aircraft could not take off. He has completely lost contact with the outside world.

Although he did not know, why NATO did not prevent the formation of this hurricane.However, in fact, he had no idea to think over there at the moment.

His heart is full of blood and tears, and it is already exhausted.

After organizing for several months, the dominating fleet was easily ruined by a typhoon.

As the commander of the fleet of hundreds of warships and hundreds of thousands of sailors, if he still needs his command here, he has already drawn out his pistol and gave himself a joy.

At this moment, a person flashed in Harris’ mind, that was Halsey, the commander of the US Navy’s Third Fleet during World War II.A sad American admiral.

In the latter part of the Pacific War of World War II, the US Third Fleet was indiscriminately bombarded by suicide planes of the Japanese Kamikaze Special Forces, and was also ruthlessly attacked by Typhoon Cobra.Although Admiral Halsey, the commander of the fleet, received the typhoon warning, he failed to make a correct interpretation.Still let the fleet stay in the waters near Wright.As a result, three destroyers were buried under the sea, and more than 800 officers and soldiers died.Although the aircraft carrier resisted the typhoon, 146 fighters were destroyed.

That was the first time Halsey was hit by a typhoon.He was suspended for four months for this, but only a year later.Coincidentally, in the U.S. attack on Okinawa.The unlucky Halsey sent the fleet to the typhoon again.The ships collided with each other in the storm and suffered heavy losses.75 aircraft on the aircraft carrier fell to the bottom of the sea, and more than 70 fighters were seriously damaged.

Halsey is known as the Typhoon Admiral, and the US Navy’s aircraft carrier fleet encountered typhoons in two battles. He was the leader.

At this moment, Harris felt that he was the hapless typhoon general.

And this time, the fleet he buried was unmatched in the past two times.

But he can fully understand Halsey’s helplessness at the time, because he has allowed the fleet to move towards the western Indian Ocean at full speed, but after the formation of the hurricane, most of the fleet’s force has no time to leave the center of the hurricane.

In three hours, the range of movement of the fleet is limited, and it is impossible to avoid the center of the hurricane.

Therefore, from the beginning, he also hoped that NATO high-level officials could make a decision to interrupt Somalia’s weather weapons.

Nothing needs to be said now, NATO has naturally not succeeded in preventing the use of Somali weather weapons.

And he has paid an unimaginable price for this, which is no longer a measure of monetary loss.

The NATO Pacific Joint Fleet has failed and has become the saddest fleet in human history.

“What should I do now?” Kono Katsushiro walked to Harris’s side with a sad expression and asked.

“How many aircraft carriers have yet to come out?” Harris asked rhetorically.

“There are four more aircraft carriers in the center of the hurricane, and the four aircraft carrier battle groups that have left the center of the hurricane are recovering their combat effectiveness as soon as possible.” Kono Katsuhoshi said painfully.

“Let the Maritime Self-Defense Force unfold in an anti-submarine and defensive formation. We began to shrink our forces and waited for the hurricane to pass and return to Port Nikola as soon as possible. We have already failed this naval battle.” Harris said calmly. At this moment, He can’t hate anymore, because he doesn’t have the ability to hate.

“No, we still have the strength to fight. Just retreating like this is the biggest failure.” Kono Katsuhoshi retorted Harris’ order very seriously.

Rarely, Harris did not feel angry because of this, and said, “What do you think?”

“We also have four aircraft carrier battles and a dozen amphibious assault ships, as well as our complete ten-ten fleet of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, which is absolutely powerful for a battle. My suggestion is to let the injured aircraft carrier return to Hong Kong for a rest. Then we use our fleet to fight guerrillas against the enemy. Once we retreat, the Somali Navy will press in and force us to fight a decisive battle. This is the real failure.” Kono Katsuhoshi said excitedly.

“But do you really think we have the power to fight?” Harris showed a bitter mouth, pointing to the hurricane cloud in the eastern sky, and said: “This hurricane. It is enough to make our fleet lose supplies for the next few months, what do you take? Go to guerrilla warfare?”

Kono Katsuhoshi’s face also became very ugly.Also fell silent.

Harris continued: “Do you know what this super hurricane represents? I can tell you that this hurricane will sweep across the Western Pacific. Our military installations on the western Pacific islands will suffer losses. There are hundreds of millions of dollars there. People will also become victims under the hurricane. Do you think anyone will come to supply us? After such a disaster, it will not be possible to recover in a few years.”

“Sorry, Commander, I was not thoughtful.” Kono Katsuhoshi said with shame.

“No, what you said is not wrong.” It was beyond Kono’s expectation.Harris suddenly changed his voice and said:

“If I were the commander of the enemy, I would kill our remnant army without hesitation. Although I don’t know what the cost of launching such a large-scale weather operation is, I know very well that this time the enemy will not only let We have no fighting capacity, but to cut off our retreat.

Even if we return to the military port, the land-based defenses that have been ravaged by hurricanes will not be able to fight against the enemy’s huge fleet.The navy is the battlefield only on the sea, and the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers can only be displayed on the ocean.If our fleet returns to port to anchor, it is suicide.Under the attack of the enemy, there is no resistance to be destroyed.”

“Then what should we do now?” Katsuno Kono didn’t know what to say for a while, and neither was it when he went back.It’s not like not going back.

“Or what I just said, shrink the troops and slowly return to the military port. But it is not really going back, but to let the land-based air force repair the base as much as possible. Be prepared for support.” After doing this, Harris turned to look. The western horizon.A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and said: “Now it’s just hope that the opponent cannot organize a large enough offensive force due to the hurricane.”

Harris’ worries began at the strategic level, but he didn’t know that from the time he ordered his fleet to move quickly toward the Western Indian Ocean, the NATO Pacific Joint Fleet was doomed.

This hurricane is indeed a means by which Lynch Hill wants to force the NATO Pacific Fleet to fight a decisive battle, and as Harris said, in order to cut off the NATO fleet’s supply and support and retreat.

But there is also a purpose, which is to bring the NATO combined fleet close to the middle of the Indian Ocean, because here he is ready to encircle and destroy the fleet.

At this moment, the entire Pacific United Fleet cannot take off fighter jets, nor can the helicopters that are most afraid of airflow.

The anti-submarine capability of the fleet has also dropped to its lowest point, and it is simply unable to guarantee the underwater safety of the entire fleet.

In the modern war environment, the relationship between the spear and the shield is well reflected in the submarine and anti-submarine.

Submarine as the most valuable combat weapon, anti-submarine subject has always been the key subject of every naval country.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, the value of submarines is the highest among all maritime vessels.

It also makes the development of submarines in various countries diversified, making the forms of anti-submarine in Oceans always very severe.

The anti-submarine aircraft of the aircraft is the most important underwater protection force for the aircraft carrier battle group, and the submarine forces on the periphery of the aircraft carrier subordinate underwater and water defense networks.

Now, the entire NATO is unable to maintain the entire water anti-submarine work, which is within the expectations of Lynch Hill.

Because changing to any fleet, it is impossible to fly anti-submarine work in such weather.

For this reason, he was already prepared to deal with the Japanese anti-submarine fleets outside the fleet.

The anti-submarine capabilities of the Japanese fleet have long been learned by the Red Police Navy when they have seen war.

I have to say that the anti-submarine capability of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is indeed very good.

But in such an environment, even underwater submarines cannot perform anti-submarine operations in such complex sea conditions.

Not to mention these simple surface ships, but this time Lynch Mountain did not use submarines.

Because even the submarine of the Red Police does not have too strong combat effectiveness in such complicated sea conditions.

The violent waves will cover up many internal sounds of the ocean, and the complicated weather and climate are extremely detrimental to submarine anti-ship operations.

Therefore, he prepared a lot of smart mine weapons in advance to target the Japanese anti-submarine fleet outside the NATO United Pacific Fleet.

All smart mines are controlled by independent computers, realizing modern anti-ship weapons that can automatically hide, locate, identify, and attack.It can achieve a clear, precise, and fierce attack on the target that ordinary mines simply cannot.

A mine with a history of 800 years of use.It has always been a natural enemy of surface ships.Mines are not only a conventional weapon used by weak and small countries to defend their coasts and suppress the naval attacks of powerful enemies, but also as a maritime military power that blocks ports and exits to the sea.An effective weapon for landing offensive operations.

During the Iraq War, Iraq dropped thousands of mines.So that the U.S. fleet cannot naturally start a battle formation.

With the development of modern warfare technology, modern mines have been promoted to the ranks of high-tech weapons, especially the widespread application of microelectronics technology, so that mines have begun to develop in the direction of intelligence, and their destructiveness, sweep resistance and flexibility are all Raised to a new level.

And the most important feature of mines is that they are not easy to be found. Unlike submarines, they will emit a certain sonar signal even if they are silent.

But there is no such problem with mines, unless they are very familiar with the waters here.Otherwise, it will be difficult to go beyond the mines in the sea.

On the ocean, it is impossible for the enemy to think that in such an environment, there are mines, and the surprise attack is extremely high.

There are hundreds of thousands of smart mines in the world. Although Somalia is not the country with the most smart mines, it is definitely not technically lost to anyone.

The smart mines deployed from the submarine are not of regular shape at all.Instead, it will merge into it with the flow of sea water, and then sink to the bottom of the sea, only the smart sensors inside are working.

As long as a fixed sonar signal is detected, the shape will be changed as soon as possible.Attach the warship directly and inflict devastating explosion damage on the opponent.

The sensors in the mine have recorded the sonar of each enemy warship and the change data of the earth’s electromagnetic environment.

For example, a mine locks the sonar and magnetic field change data of an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer as its target.The mine would not launch an attack until it found this fully consistent signal.

You can even set a first-level attack target.List other targets for attack in a special naval environment.Allows mines to identify and attack more enemy ship targets.

At this moment, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force warships scattered outside the NATO Pacific Joint Fleet did not know that they had entered the minefield.

These mines are designed to deal with these Japanese warships. In this huge sea area, thousands of smart mines have been laid.

On the calm seabed, a number of irregular mines, like currents, are quietly dormant on the bottom of the sea.

Japanese aip submarines slid past the seabed, as if none of these mines had been seen.

Because the place currently passed by the Japanese navy is only the periphery of the mine array, the mines here are all ships set to attack the surface.

And according to the divisions of the front and back warships of the Japanese fleet, set the types of warships to attack.

On the sea, the hurricane was still raging, and the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force warships that received the alert order began to disperse.

And continue to expand the defensive circle toward the central Indian Ocean, everything is already planned.

As long as the fleet moves to a time when the impact of the hurricane is minimal, anti-submarine helicopters can be dispatched for peripheral anti-submarine work.

But they never expected that under their water, smart mines could smell the prey.

First, the passive sonar sensor on the mine receives the target sonar signal. When the target noise is found, the passive sensor will turn on to determine the target type. If the target is not matched, no further action will be taken. If the target is matched, no further action will be taken. Immediately activate the active sensor to implement strict monitoring and tracking of the target.

When the target advances within a certain distance, the smart mine can independently choose to set the fuze action program, predetermined sequence and specific target characteristics.

At this moment, the mines have been activated from the bottom of the sea, and the prey has come within our attack range.

The active and passive sensors have locked the targets one by one, and all the mines have begun to drift from the seabed.

Swim towards the place where the active and passive sonar is emitted, and after slowly approaching the target, the fuze system in the mine begins to activate.

Advanced intelligent mines without a fixed form seem to have been integrated into the sea. The passive sonar shell on Japanese warships did not find these uninvited guests approaching at all.

The mines stuck directly to the bottom of the ship, and a violent explosion broke out from the mines in the next second.

A Japanese Harushio-class destroyer that was cutting through the waves on the complicated sea was suddenly lifted up to the surface, and a huge explosion sounded. It was just a blink of an eye. The destroyer of thousands of tons was directly blown up.

The powerful power of the mines directly destroyed a warship, but it also sounded the battle alarm for all the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force fleet.

But today is destined to be the day of the end of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force. Twenty nautical miles away, on a King Kong-class destroyer, the battle alarm has just been sounded. It has not waited for all officers and soldiers to react.

Without warning, the entire bow of the destroyer suddenly burst out with fierce fire and explosions, and the entire bow of the destroyer completely turned into wreckage flying in the sky.

The predecessor of the ship was lifted high, and the entire bow was blown up. Turbulent water poured in from the bow. A destroyer with a capacity of tens of thousands of tons was quickly swallowed by the turbulent water, and the sea quickly floated. Full of the wreckage of warships and the few Japanese sailors survivors.

For the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, this is just the beginning, because more and more mines have found their targets, and sometimes a warship is targeted by more than one mine.
