Chapter 116: Head-On Confrontation Prevails! Murasame's Mentality Explodes!
Nohara Shinki was really scared this time.
He didn't expect that he had retreated frantically under the order of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, and even thought about ramming the enemy's warship. If it weren't for the Coast Guard firing warning shots and forcibly boarding the ship, he wouldn't have surrendered.
Who knew that after all this, Kitahara Sosuke not only didn't understand his difficulties, but turned around and wanted to kill him.
This made him feel sad and regretful. If he had known this, he might as well not turn back. Although he would be held accountable by the Maritime Self-Defense Force when he returned to the Donghuang tribe, at least his life would be saved!
Even if you cross the river and destroy the bridge, you can't kill it like this!
Four missiles, the Shanhua can't escape even if it has wings.
If the situation didn't allow it, Nohara Shinki would have scolded Kitahara Sosuke long ago.
At this moment when his life is at stake, the only life-saving straw he can think of is the person in front of him.
"I will fully cooperate with your work, please save me."
Nohara Shinki's voice was a little crying, and his body was trembling with fear.
Let alone Nohara Shinki, all the crew members on the Yamaha were stunned at this moment.
Murasame was actually going to sink them?
They had never thought of it in their dreams!
Aren’t we from the Donghuang tribe?
Why are you so cruel?
The crew members in the main control room were stunned, their heads buzzing.
Not only them, but also the coast guards were very nervous at this moment.
After all, the Yamaha was still in its own waters, and the other party actually opened fire without regard to the Blue Star Alliance Law!
Although they were nervous, they still shouted calmly: "Quiet! Keep returning! We will protect you!"
"Protect us? Okay, okay!"
Nohara Shinki nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Although his heart was stuck in his throat, he still shouted.
"Baga! What are you doing! Return at full speed!"
The two warships of the other side were his only hope, and he had to hold on tightly.
Hearing that the other side would protect themselves, the crew members present were emotional, and they were so moved that tears almost flowed down.
For a moment, these people cooperated more tacitly than when they ran away just now.
Can they be stopped?
After all, the other party is the famous Donghuang tribe Maritime Self-Defense Force, and the coast guard personnel present are also unsure.
At present, all hopes can only be placed on 051C and 052B.
As soon as the missile was detected by the radar, the radar monitor in the main control room of 052B said anxiously.
"Report to the captain, the other party opened fire! The missile is 12 kilometers away from our ship, four missiles, and the speed is 1.5 Mach! The target is..." Glancing at the computer deduction path on the radar display, he added: "Report to the captain, the target is not our ship, but the Shanhua!"
"Captain, the Haihongqi radar has been locked! Please give instructions!"
Shanhua?
Sure enough, those who can commit seppuku are not only cruel to themselves, but also to their own people! There is no reason at all!
The thought flashed through his mind, and Zhou Qinglei calmly gave the order.
"16 salvos! Main anti-aircraft guns and close-in anti-aircraft guns start immediately!"
"Notify 051C, be ready for backup interception at any time!"
"We must save Shanhua at all costs!"
At this moment, he was very glad that he was controlling 052B instead of 051C.
The reaction time of the HQ-901 air defense missile is only 5 seconds, and the secondary reload time is only 10 seconds. The distance of 12 kilometers is enough for the HQ-901 air defense missile to make two effective interceptions.
The first direct interception, the second predicted path interception, the third time is difficult, the opponent's missile targets Shanhua, with a speed of 1.5 Mach, and the speed of HQ-901 is 1.2 Mach, which cannot catch up.
If it is replaced by 051C, due to the long reaction time and reload time, only one effective interception can be made. Therefore, if the first interception fails, the backup interception of 051C and the secondary air defense missile interception of 052B will be carried out at the same time.
In order to be on the safe side, he directly ordered 16 salvos this time! 4V1, in order to intercept as many anti-ship missiles as possible in the first round, and gain greater confidence in the second round.
Accompanied by bursts of roars from the deck, 16 Haihongqi-901s roared out.
"Report to the captain, the missiles have been launched, and it is expected to collide with our ship 5 kilometers away in 13 seconds!"
Although Zhou Qinglei looked calm, his palms were slightly sweaty.
Although the two sides did not fight directly, they played a game around Shanhua.
The newcomer of the Dongzhou Sea Navy vs. the old bully in the Dongzhou Sea, has the gap narrowed in the pursuit of these years?
Before the final result came out, he had no standard in his mind.
In the main control room of 051C, Jiang Shengrong was so nervous that his breathing was lowered a lot after receiving the news from 052B.
"The Maritime Self-Defense Force is indeed a gathering place for militarism, and they are all crazy!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the radar monitor shouting: "Report to the captain, 052B has taken action!"
Jiang Shengrong glanced at the radar display, and saw 16 small green dots on it, attacking 4 anti-ship missiles at a speed of 1.2 Mach.
4 intercept 1, can they all be intercepted at once?
Jiang Shengrong was unsure.
But he knew that attack was the best defense.
Immediately, he said.
"Contact the chief and report the situation here immediately! The other side took the lead in attacking, should our unit counterattack!"
After all, the other party was not attacking one's own warships, and Jiang Shengrong did not dare to make his own decisions.
There is no provision in the Blue Star Alliance law that one's own warships are not allowed to attack one's own ships.
The people who formulated the Alliance Law would never have imagined that there would be such a lunatic who would not even spare his own ship.
At the same time, in the main control room of the Harusame, which came hand in hand with the Murasame, Captain Katsumura Yota stared at the radar display and was stunned.
"Crazy! Kitahara Sosuke-kun is really crazy! That is our own ship!"
Yota Katsumura considers himself to be relatively tough among the hawks, but compared to Sosuke Kitahara, he feels that he is more of a conservative.
Militarism can also be divided into extremes and non-extremes. Obviously, Sosuke Kitahara is one of the extremes.
"Quick! Contact Kitahara Sosuke-kun immediately and ask him to start the missile self-destruction program immediately!"
Katsumura Yota shouted anxiously.
Soon, the correspondent said: "Report to the captain, the Murasame refuses to call!"
"Haga! Kitahara Sosuke, does he want to go to a military court?"
Yota Katsumura was so worried that he immediately changed the topic: "Contact General Wada immediately! No, report it directly to General Hayaki!"
"Yes! Captain!"
As soon as the correspondent finished speaking, the radar monitor immediately shouted.
"Report to Captain, the enemy counterattacked, and a total of 16 missiles were launched!"
Katsumura Yota quickly got in front of the radar display and looked at it carefully.
Visible to the naked eye, more than a dozen computer-deduced missile paths are intertwined.
After confirming that the opponent's missile had not locked onto him, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief.
Those who fight without permission from the military department will be subject to court-martial.
Although he is radical, he has not lost his mind. He also coveted the huge and vast territory opposite him. He could take the initiative to provoke, but taking the initiative to open fire would cross the line. No one could bear the responsibility for the exchange of fire between the two tribes.
At the Eastern Wasteland Tribe Navy Headquarters, Murakami Hayaki came to the headquarters in person and met Inoshita Wada.
He was worried that something might happen and came here to take a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as I sat down and my butt was still warm, something happened.
He held the message in his hand and said nothing.
Jingxia Wada lowered his head and did not dare to say a word.
"Wada-kun, you have a good subordinate!"
"General, I..."
"Tell me." Murakami Hayaki said, "What is the purpose of provocation?"
"Let the other party take the initiative to fire."
"what about now?"
"General Hayaki, the development of the situation is beyond my expectation! As you know, the Shanhua carries a lot of important and sophisticated equipment. Once they get it, no one can guarantee what will happen." Inoshita Wada hurriedly panicked explained: "Kitahara Sosuke-kun's extreme behavior is also reasonable."
Murakami Saki said calmly: "Can you bear the responsibility of fighting between two tribes?"
"I……"
Inoshita Wada was momentarily speechless.
"General Hayaki, when we were defeated, it was not because of the bad weather but because of the wrong timing. Over the past few years, everyone has been holding back a lot of energy..."
"Wada-kun, I don't want to reiterate it a second time."
Taking a deep breath, Ishita Wada said: "Hey, General Hayaki, I understand. I will contact Kitahara Sosuke-kun and ask him to activate the missile self-destruction program!"
"After the matter is over, come see me with your report." After saying that, Murakami Saki left here with a sullen face.
It wasn't until Murakami Hayaki walked away that an angry roar sounded in the room.
"idiot--"
Inoshita Wada was furious.
Frankly speaking, he felt that there was nothing wrong with Kitahara Sosuke's approach this time.
Blue Star Alliance law does not stipulate that you cannot fire on your own ships.
I didn't fire on your warship. If I couldn't intercept the equipment, I would blow it up. This makes sense.
If you lose your face, you can’t lose your dignity too, right?
Aren't they just killing a few Donghuang tribesmen! What year doesn't happen at sea?
Compared with intercepting this batch of high-tech equipment and miring the development of the opposing navy, it is worth killing a ship of people. They curbed the development of the opposing navy at the cost of their lives. They are heroes!
"Pedantic! Extremely pedantic!"
Although Inoshita Wada cursed, he still sent someone to contact the Murasame and immediately started the missile self-destruction procedure.
On the sea, the Murasame was less than two kilometers away from the sea boundary.
In the main control room, the deputy captain was so nervous that his palms were sweating.
If you kill one of your own people, how to write this report after you go back is a question.
Suddenly, the radar monitor shouted: "Report to the captain, 16 anti-aircraft missiles were launched from the opposite side with the intention of intercepting our anti-ship missiles! The speed is Mach 1.2, and the first collision is expected to occur 7 kilometers away from our ship in 13 seconds. !”
"Ha!" Kitahara Sosuke chuckled: "You want to intercept 4 anti-ship missiles with 16 anti-aircraft missiles? You are looking down on us too much!"
The vice-captain nodded repeatedly, still very confident in his own anti-ship missiles.
Immediately afterwards, Kitahara Sosuke was suddenly stunned.
The opponent's anti-aircraft missile Mach 1.2?
This speed is already very fast!
"Are the anti-aircraft missiles on the other side so fast?"
"Captain, no." The vice-captain shook his head repeatedly.
"I don't remember either! It seems that 956E was dispatched from the opposite side!" Kitahara Sosuke said thoughtfully: "The reason they are so tough is because they have the support of 956E!"
"But compared to the Murasame, 956E is still a little inferior after all!"
The deputy captain probed from the side.
"Captain, do we really want to sink the Shanhua? What if the higher ups are blamed..."
"Don't worry, I will bear all the consequences. Everything I do is in the interests of our Great East Wasteland Empire. Generals Hetian and Hayaki will understand me."
Kitahara Sosuke was full of confidence, and he felt that he was right.
Suddenly, the communicator shouted: "Report to the captain, Chunyu requests a call."
"No time, let them stay for a while! If they don't dare to make a move, don't come to make trouble."
Kitahara Sosuke said without turning his head.
Looking at the deputy captain, he said: "Don't worry, I will know the limit. We will retreat after sinking the Shanhua, and we will not give them an excuse to attack us."
"What if they stop us?"
"Baga! If you shake the morale of the army again, I will shoot you!"
Kitahara Sosuke's face was fierce.
The other side has two warships, and our side has dispatched two Murasame-class missile destroyers. If they can't even deal with the Shanhua, they will just crash into it and die.
If this gets out, the entire East Wasteland Tribe Maritime Self-Defense Force will be laughed at.
Kitahara Sosuke was full of confidence, vowing to sink the Yamaka and then sail away, leaving the opposing navy to beat their chests for failing to achieve their goal.
Just at this moment, a violent explosion was heard in the distance.
Kitahara Sosuke knew that the first round of collision had begun.
He also wanted to know how many anti-ship missiles the 16 anti-aircraft missiles deployed by the other side could intercept.
Kitahara Sosuke was sure of victory.
After waiting for a while without any news, he stood with his hands behind his back and asked proudly.
"What's the situation? Did they intercept one or two?"
Three? Absolutely impossible!
That was the Murasame, not the Mekong, and he knew how advanced the anti-ship missiles on it were.
Although the speed of 1.5 Mach was slightly worse than the anti-ship missiles of the Eagle Tribe Navy, it was not something that could be intercepted casually.
It was a pipe dream to want to intercept all of them in the first round. The gap in technology cannot be made up by quantity.
His warships are much more advanced than those of the other side, even the 956E cannot do it, he has this confidence.
"Captain, that..."
Kitahara Sosuke frowned slightly: "What's the matter? Reporting a situation, still hesitant?"
The radar monitor looked at Kitahara Sosuke and said hesitantly: "Report to the captain, the other side successfully intercepted!"
"How many?"
"Four!"
"What did you say?"
Kitahara Sosuke was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Even if it was replaced by the Harusame, whether 16 air defense missiles could intercept 4 anti-ship missiles at one time would be questionable. But the most advanced one on the other side is only the 956E, he remembered that the 956E was not so strong!
And the interception itself is at a disadvantage. The success rate of interception of an air defense missile is only more than 70%, and the success rate of four missiles cannot become more than 280%! The success rate cannot be superimposed. If it can be intercepted, it can be intercepted, and if it can't be intercepted, it can't be intercepted.
"You must be lying to me!"
As he said, Kitahara Sosuke personally leaned over to the radar display and took a look.
It doesn't matter if you don't look, but you'll be shocked if you do.
All four anti-ship missiles were intercepted!
"How could this happen?"
Kitahara Sosuke was struck by lightning, looking at the deputy captain in disbelief.
"Captain, this is unreasonable."
"Baga! I know this is unreasonable! I ask you why it happened!"
"I... I don't know either."
Kitahara Sosuke was so angry that he paced back and forth in the main control room, constantly muttering "How could this happen" and "It shouldn't be like this".
So what if the speed of the opponent's air defense missiles is not slow? There is no research showing that the interception rate can be superimposed if the speed is not slow!
He couldn't figure out why this happened.
When he saw the Shanhua being intercepted by the opponent before, he was directly furious. He thought he could sink the Shanhua, which would not only save his face but also his heart.
Now, he didn't save his face and his heart, and he was going crazy.
After losing twice in a row at the hands of the opponent's navy, he could already imagine how other captains would laugh at him when he returned.
"A great shame! This is an indelible stain on the Murasame!"
He shouted in anger.
"Open fire! Keep firing, I don't believe they can stop us a second time!"
"Captain, General Wada sent the latest instructions."
"Read it."
The deputy captain was about to read it, but then he looked at the other party and swallowed his words back.
Kitahara Sosuke, who was already angry, roared directly: "Are you deaf? I asked you to read it!"
The deputy captain hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice: "General Wada instructed that the Yamahana must not be sunk, and ordered our unit to immediately start the missile self-destruction program."
Start the missile self-destruction program?
Hearing this, Kitahara Sosuke's mouth twitched violently.
Wada in the well also knew that the opposite navy could not stop it, so he asked to start the missile self-destruction program.
But what about now?
1 nautical mile = 1.852 kilometers, and Mach corresponds to meters. Using kilometers is more intuitive, and changing to nautical miles is too cumbersome to calculate, and it is not convenient for everyone to see.
In many cases, the term "opposite" is used to refer to something. It's not that Shiqi wants to, but there is no other way. It always looks smoother than "being optimized."
