Chapter 408 UFO
Using a scrapped aircraft carrier as a target ship, dragging it under the noses of hundreds of enemy ships and blowing it up…
It can be seen that the navy has also made great efforts to ensure that this exercise can have the desired deterrent effect! The target ship is the Minsk aircraft carrier, which is the second ship of the old Russian 1143 aircraft carrier. It was once the world’s first aircraft carrier equipped with vertical short take-off and landing fighters.
After the old Russians dispersed, Russia inherited the aircraft carrier, but due to Russia’s insufficient economic strength, it could not afford to support the aircraft carrier. So the Minsk, which had been in service for only twelve years, could only retire sadly.
In 1995, after the main equipment of the Minsk was dismantled, it was sold to the Korean country. Then it went around and around, and was bought by China in 1998. It was parked in Pengcheng and turned into an aircraft carrier theme park.
At first, everyone was very fresh about this thing, and the tourism income was quite considerable, but later, domestic aircraft carriers were launched. This aircraft carrier had never served in China and had nothing to do with Chinese history. After the novelty wore off, it was quickly put into the cold palace, and there were very few tourists.
Minsk Aircraft Carrier World finally announced its closure in 2016, and then it was said that it would be towed to Nantong for repairs. There were also reports that the aircraft carrier theme park would be moved to Nantong, but the Minsk was eventually abandoned near the Sutong Bridge for ten years, and the whole ship was already rusty.
Until today, the Minsk appeared in the East China Sea as an aircraft carrier target ship, and suddenly became the focus of the audience again…
At this time, near the Minsk, more than a dozen warships from the East China Sea Fleet, they built a modern regular aircraft carrier strike group defense formation and became its loyal guard.
If the old Russian soldiers who had been on the Minsk saw this scene, they would probably be quite emotional.
Although it was used as a target ship, it was obviously a good choice to end it with a vigorous exercise compared to slowly rotting or dismantling it at the dock.
What’s more, China has prepared a very high-standard battle for it.
In order to defend against the next attack on the target ship, the escort warships have made sufficient preparations. In order to show their strength more realistically, they have even prepared to empty the ammunition depot and directly lose their combat effectiveness.
To be honest, it is actually quite dangerous to empty the magazine under the eyes of the “enemy”.
But Ming Zhenxiong believes in the judgment and decision of Chief Shen, and believes that the M country will never dare to take the initiative to shoot. There are other friendly forces nearby, and it is only more than 500 kilometers away from the coastline. Basically, most of the road-based missiles can easily cover and support, so there is no panic.
Deep down in Ming Zhenxiong’s heart, he even had a little expectation, hoping that the other side would dare to fire the first shot, even if he might have to pay with his life for it…
After all, as a soldier, there is no one who doesn’t like to fight.
But as an officer, he must always remain rational, so he quickly hid this crazy idea in his heart, turned his head and asked the combat staff: “The exercise has started for ten minutes, and the red side has not responded yet?”
The staff shook his head: “Not yet.”
Ming Zhenxiong sighed helplessly.
He also knew that the exercise command did not tell them the specific time and method of attack, just to make the exercise closer to the real battlefield,
But the current situation is that he knows that the ‘enemy’ has aimed a sniper rifle at his head and may pull the trigger at any time, but he can only stay where he is and wait passively, which is somewhat tormenting…
What Ming Zhenxiong didn’t expect was that until ten hours later, the red side had not launched an attack.
The long-term mental tension made Ming Zhenxiong a little dazed.
”Fuck, this is too torturous.”
The soldier who had been concentrating on watching the radar for several hours couldn’t help but curse in a low voice: “The command must have done it on purpose!”
”This is obvious.”
”It is also possible that the commander of the Red Army is deliberately playing with us…”
”I heard that the Red Army will test a new fighter first this time?”
”I also heard from Staff Officer Lu that this time it is obviously ready to show off a lot of cards and show off its muscles to the opponent.”
”Is it the H-20?”
”I think it is very likely.”
”Impossible! Why would they send real planes for live-fire exercises? Especially such an expensive new fighter as the H-20, what if it is really hit?”
”WhoYou know, have you heard of this kind of exercise where fighters evade live ammunition? ”
”I don’t think so? Exercises where planes attack with live ammunition are common, but I don’t think I’ve heard of using live ammunition to shoot down planes.”
”Of course there have been. There are also unmanned target planes, right? It’s just that we haven’t seen them.”
”That’s a drone?”
”That should be it.”
”By the way…what if we don’t defend it?”
”Isn’t this normal? Isn’t the purpose of bringing an aircraft carrier target ship here to sink it? That’s the effect we want.”
”What if it doesn’t sink?”
”As long as we don’t save ammunition, it will definitely sink. If it doesn’t sink, it only means that we didn’t use enough missiles.”
”Have you ever thought that the failure to sink may also be because our defense is too strong.”
”Good guy, we win anyway, right? ”
“…”
Seeing that the soldiers couldn’t help chatting, Ming Zhenxiong didn’t say anything. After all, proper small talk can also help relieve tense emotions…
But there is one thing he feels he must emphasize again.
“Once again, notify all units that once any flying objects other than our fleet are found within the prescribed range of the exercise, whether they are ballistic aircraft or other weapons, they should be shot down directly without reporting!”
“In addition, it is important to note that the Red Army may deploy aircraft with very strong stealth performance. We must always remain vigilant. When the radar system discovers them, the distance may be very close, and we may have very little time to react.”
“Received!”
“Received! ”
”…”
After issuing the notice, Ming Zhenxiong decided to reduce the combat status by one level in order to relieve the mental fatigue of the soldiers and keep them fighting at all times, so that everyone could take turns. Finally, he could not help but sit on the chair and close his eyes to rest.
On the other side, after a long period of surveillance on the East China Sea Fleet, the soldiers on the USS Mike Campbell also felt a little tired.
”What the hell, why are they so slow?”
”That’s right, it’s been almost a day, why is there no movement, are they still going to perform or not? ”
“…”
Compared to the complaining soldiers, Captain Jackie Gilman went back to sleep directly.
Originally, Keshid, who had focused all his attention here, gradually lost his patience and began to focus his attention back on Liuchi Island.
A few hours ago, the main island tried to send a few negotiation experts over, but the results of the initial contact were not ideal. The Liuchi people put forward some conditions that they could not accept at all, and even threatened that if they did not immediately accept these conditions publicly, there would be no need to send negotiation experts over, and they would deduct one for each one.
So after several hours of discussion, the island headquarters finally agreed The soldiers from the military base of the M country were sent to help Ozawa Yuta and his men rescue the guards.
However, they asked the M army to open fire only when Ozawa Yuta actively sought support.
At this time, Ozawa Yuta’s men had already landed, and many soldiers from the M army base, led by their superiors, drove armored vehicles out of the base, ready to join Ozawa Yuta and go to the Land Guard Bureau to suppress the rebellion.
Khed Lister sat in the command room, looking at the bright crescent moon in the night sky. For some reason, he always felt a sense of fear in his heart…
”Report, an unidentified flying object was found at an altitude of ten kilometers northeast of our ship!”
After hearing the report from the radar soldier, everyone was stunned.
Ten kilometers? Or at an altitude? ! !
What a joke? ! ! !
