Chapter 117: The Japanese Retreated with Hatred! The First Battle Was a Victory, and the Navy Is No Longer What It Used to Be!

Kitahara Sosuke felt bitter.

To start the missile self-destruction program, it must be based on the situation that the opponent cannot stop the missile.

But now the opponent has stopped it! All four missiles have been stopped!

How can the missile self-destruction program be started?

If the opponent cannot stop it, starting the missile self-destruction program at the last moment can still play a sufficient deterrent role.

What a deterrent now, the opponent can stop it, and my face hurts from my own snorting.

Kitahara Sosuke stood in place, his lips trembling with anger.

No wonder the deputy captain looked at me and hesitated to speak just now, why the hell did I ask this question!

Add salt to the wound!

Kitahara Sosuke's eyes fell on the 052B in the distant sea again.

At this time, the two sides were only 11 kilometers apart, and he could almost see the red flag fluttering in the sea breeze with his naked eyes.

It was shameful that the Yamahua was not taken back!

The missile was successfully intercepted by the opponent's warship, a great shame!

If the opponent was any naval power in the West, Kitahara Sosuke would not feel such humiliation, but the opponent was the opposite navy that he did not even look at.

Four years ago, the military expert of the Eagle Tribe said that a modern guided-missile destroyer could single-handedly defeat multiple non-modernized guided-missile destroyers without damage! He was referring to the opposite navy.

As a Murasame-class missile destroyer, the Murasame was the first batch of passive phased array radars to be equipped by the Maritime Self-Defense Force. It is also quite strong among modern warships, at least stronger than the 956E!

But the expected single-handed defeat did not occur, but his face was swollen.

Although there were only four missiles, the opponent only showed air defense missiles! Once they confronted head-on, could they stop the opponent's anti-ship missiles?

He was full of confidence at first, but he suddenly lost his confidence.

Suddenly, Kitahara Sosuke paused.

He felt ashamed for having such an idea.

Staring at the 052B opposite, he wished he could swallow up the warship that brought him humiliation.

Seeing Kitahara Sosuke's eyes were red, the deputy captain realized that something was going to happen and hurriedly said.

"Captain, General Wada ordered our unit to go back and report to him immediately!"

"Captain, General Hayaki is very dissatisfied with this matter."

After throwing two heavy bombs in a row, Kitahara Sosuke leaned on the main console and panted, not wanting to look at the 052B opposite.

He also wanted to launch 8 or even 12 anti-ship missiles to see if the other party could still stop them.

But he also knew in his heart that if that was the case, the other party would definitely not choose to put all its strength on interception, and would inevitably launch anti-ship missiles to counterattack.

With such a close distance, it is not a wise move to open a naval battle, and the advantages of advanced warships will be greatly weakened.

And now even Murashita Hayaki has come forward, he knows that this matter should end here. The first opportunity has been lost, and there is no point in struggling.

"Baga--"

While shouting angrily, Kitahara Sosuke slammed his fist heavily on the console, making a loud 'bang' sound.

Everyone in the main control room was startled and looked at him quietly, not daring to breathe.

"Go back! Go back! Turn around and go back!"

Hearing this, the deputy captain was relieved and said quickly: "Turn around and prepare to return!"

The Murasame chose to turn around and return at a point only one kilometer away from the boundary line of the two sides' sea areas.

Even if he was unwilling and furious, Kitahara Sosuke could only grit his teeth and swallow it at this moment.

After he shouted "go back", the whole person looked much older in an instant, no longer as high-spirited and complacent as before.

Thinking of his vow to destroy the Yamaka and leave, leaving the opposing navy with nowhere to vent, he suddenly felt a pain in his heart and a feeling of being unable to breathe.

How could this be called leaving? This was a shameful escape.

In the main control room of the Harusame not far away, Captain Katsumura Yota looked at the smoke filled with explosions in the distant sea, and his heart was beating uncontrollably.

"They intercepted them all! It's just one round! How did they do it?"

He himself was not 100% sure that only 16 anti-aircraft missiles could intercept the 4 anti-ship missiles on the Murasame.

"956E? But I remember that 956E is not so powerful. It is only the second-tier warship of the White Bear Tribe!"

"Does the other side have any secret warships?"

Thinking of this, he looked confused.

As for 051C, he didn't even think about it.

Although he didn't know the detailed information about 051C, he had already learned some general information from Jingxia Hetian.

It can't be done with 051C alone!

But as for whether the other side has secret warships, he thinks the possibility is very small.

How many 956Es have arrived? At most, it will take only one year!

No matter how powerful the military experts on the other side are, even if they are just one step away from crossing the threshold of modern technology before the arrival of 956E! But how far can they go in one year?

It's as difficult to go from nothing to something as it is to go from something to something more advanced. The other side is different from them. Under the technological blockade, they simply do not have enough technological accumulation.

Compared with his own Maritime Self-Defense Force and the Eagle Tribe Navy, he felt that it was the best that he could take a small step in the field of modernization in one year!

It is impossible to surpass the 956E!

After thinking about it, he could only think that there was something wrong with the 956E sold by the White Bear Tribe, or that the other side was too lucky and even God favored them.

The communicator shouted on the side.

"Report to the captain, the Murasame has sent a message that they are ready to retreat."

Hearing this news, Katsumura Yota was relieved immediately.

It's good to retreat.

He was really afraid that Kitahara Sosuke would get angry and ignore everything.

"Let's go back too!" As he spoke, Katsumura Yota waved his hand, "They got an advantage this time, but they won't be so lucky next time. God won't favor them twice!"

"Yes, Captain!"

As the Murasame and Harusame issued two orders, the tense situation suddenly dissipated into thin air.

Across the sea boundary, the Yamahana was still running desperately.

Nohara Shinki was anxious, like an ant on a hot pot. If the coast guard personnel beside him hadn't been calm enough to give him confidence, his mentality would have collapsed at this moment.

Waiting for death is so tormenting.

From the Murasame to the Yamahana, the distance is only 20 kilometers.

It only takes 39 seconds for the 1.5 Mach anti-ship missile to arrive!

39 seconds of life and death!

The time was too short, and there was no time to tell his family about his last words.

He had heard about the strength of the other navy over the years. He had no idea whether the two warships could stop the four missiles.

But now, the other warships were the only hope.

While running for his life, he paid attention to the latest developments in the sea.

"Captain, they have taken action." The third mate who had been paying attention to the radar display said.

Nohara Shinki hurried over and saw 16 missiles attacking 4 anti-ship missiles. His heart was stuck in his throat and could jump out at any time.

Suddenly, he subconsciously held his breath and stared at the radar display.

Life or death, it all depends on this time.

The hearts of all the Donghuang tribesmen in the main control were hanging.

The opposite navy that they looked down on before, now very much hoped to perform beyond their normal level.

Seeing the distance between the two missiles on the radar display getting closer and closer, Nohara Shinki closed his eyes and prayed sincerely.

"Amaterasu, I have never done anything bad in my life. Amaterasu must bless them to intercept the missiles."

Others were also muttering.

"God bless!"

"Jesus bless!"

Realizing that they were in the other side's waters, praying to those gods might be useless, someone immediately muttered in a low voice.

"May all the gods and Buddhas bless you..."

"May the Jade Emperor bless you..."

The armed coast guards looked at the people present and closed their eyes to pray, and they wanted to laugh but couldn't.

If they really couldn't stop it, what's the point of praying to the Jade Emperor?

On the battlefield, you can only trust your gun. Similarly, in a naval battle, you can only trust missiles.

Through the porthole, the coast guards looked at the end of their sight.

The distance was too far, and they could only barely see a series of white cloud lines, which were the traces left by the missiles across the sky.

Success or failure depends on this one move.

The coast guards couldn't help but hold their breath.

Time passed second by second.

At this moment, every second seemed so long.

Finally, the alarm on the radar calmed down.

The third mate opened his eyes first, quickly glanced at the radar display, and shouted.

"Captain, they stopped it! They stopped it!"

Nohara Shinki also opened his eyes, looking at the radar display that had returned to calm, his whole body trembling with excitement, and his eyes were red in an instant.

After a round of the gates of hell, this kind of ups and downs brought him an experience that he would never forget.

"We survived!"

"Hahaha, we survived!"

In the main control room, many people from the East Wilderness tribe cheered excitedly, tears in their eyes.

The coast guards still looked calm, but their hands holding the guns trembled slightly, showing that they were not calm in their hearts.

Nohara Shinki looked at these coast guards with a complicated expression.

He didn't expect that the people of the Maritime Self-Defense Force wanted to die, but the enemy on the opposite side saved him.

Although he also knew that the other party did this to save the coast guards and those mysterious goods on the ship. But no matter what, the other party saved the lives of a ship, this is a fact!

Recalling that he had commanded the Shanhua to run all the way, Nohara Shinki was ashamed and said from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you!"

The coast guard looked at them calmly, still with a straight face: "Don't waste time, continue to return!"

"Hey! Please rest assured, we will definitely deliver the goods safely!"

Nohara Shinki shouted to others: "Hurry up, hurry up, don't waste time."

On the other side, 052B main control room.

Zhou Qinglei stood in front of the porthole, looking at the white cloud line at the end of his sight, his heart couldn't help but hang.

052B is already the most powerful warship in the navy, even stronger than 956E!

If even 052B can't withstand the four anti-ship missiles of the opposite warship, it will be a huge blow to the morale of the navy.

The momentum of the morning will definitely be hit hard.

Is it going to stay in the base and lick its wounds like four years ago?

Zhou Qinglei looked normal, but his hands had already clenched into fists.

Captain Wu Ruoming of the Southern Fleet has come to terms with his years of frustration and ushered in a new era in the Southern Seas. Can our Northern Fleet come to terms with the past and usher in a new era in the Northern Seas?

He was not 100% sure, so he chose not to look at the radar display.

The 13-second interception time was longer than a century.

Finally, the radar monitor shouted.

"Report to the captain, the first anti-ship missile was intercepted successfully!"

"Report to the captain, the second and third anti-ship missiles were intercepted successfully!"

"Report to the captain, all four anti-ship missiles were intercepted successfully!"

As the last sentence came out, all the operators on the scene looked at Zhou Qinglei.

The newcomer of the Dongzhou Sea Navy and the old bully of the Dongzhou Sea had the upper hand in their first battle!

This was a maritime game that was enough to be recorded in the history of the Northern Fleet, because they won!

"Captain, we did it." The deputy captain walked to Zhou Qinglei and said solemnly.

Huh——

Zhou Qinglei let out a long sigh, as if he wanted to spit out all the grievances of these years.

His hands, which were originally clenched into fists, gradually stretched out, and the tense muscles on his face also relaxed.

"We did it." Zhou Qinglei kept muttering.

In the past, when facing the warships of the Donghuang Tribe Maritime Self-Defense Force, they all rushed over with the determination to die. There was no way, the attack distance was too close, and the anti-ship missiles could not reach them, so they could only compete to see who was more fearless of death.

Use air defense missiles to intercept anti-ship missiles? Don't even dare to think about it!

The 052 guided-drive and the older 051, which only have some air defense, can only launch a limited number of air defense missiles at a time and lock one or two anti-ship missiles. Moreover, the reaction time is long and the reloading time is even longer. How can they stop four 1.5 Mach anti-ship missiles?

It's different now. The 052B is already a very powerful regional air defense ship. The air defense missiles are fast and the anti-ship missiles are even faster.

Facing the former little overlord of the sea, the 051C may not be qualified, but the 052B not only has the ability to protect itself but also has room for counterattack.

It's better to practice once than to practice thousands of times.

The 052B has proved with its strength that it still has enough confidence in the Dongzhou Sea.

"Captain, the Coast Guard has reported back. Captain Nohara Shinki of the Yamaka said that the Maritime Self-Defense Force dispatched a Murasame and a Harusame this time!"

"Harusame? Murasame? Those are two Murasame-class missile destroyers!"

Zhou Qinglei was stunned.

Although it is the first batch of Murasame-class missile destroyers to be launched and put into service, its reputation and strength are there.

Does 052B already have the capital to compete with Murasame-class missile destroyers?

Thinking of this, Zhou Qinglei smiled happily.

This news made him more excited than the successful interception of 4 missiles by 052B.

He asked for no reason.

"What are the chances of winning if 052B and Murasame meet alone at sea?"

"This..." The deputy captain hesitated, "After all, Murasame is equipped with passive phased array radar, which is more advanced than us in radar! The chances of winning are hard to say."

"Yes!" Nodding, Zhou Qinglei said: "The chances of winning are hard to predict, we still have a long way to go!"

At this time, the radar monitor shouted again.

"Report to the captain, they are retreating."

As soon as this was said, all the operators present were overjoyed.

In the past, you had to rely on fearlessness to ram the other party with a warship to force the other party away.

But now, times have changed, the Navy is no longer what it used to be, and it no longer needs to be the same as before.
