Chapter 603 Boarding Battleship
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, one improved Tomahawk missile after another swooped down towards the distant fleet from low altitude.
In the joint fleet, the only remaining Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyer began to move forward, preparing to block the breakthrough.
In the command room, the first mate was cursing angrily: "It's all the fault of those damn guys on the Juneflower. If they hadn't been wiped out, we wouldn't have to go and plug the hole. I think the wisest thing to do now is to deploy in battle formation instead of huddling together like frightened quails."
"Speak less and remember, your primary mission is to protect Mr. Reynard's safety. Everything else is secondary." The captain put down the telescope in his hand and said.
"Activate all defense equipment. Don't let the Juneflower accident happen to us."
The captain turned and spoke to the radar operator behind him.
"Captain, it's bad. All the radars are malfunctioning. Dense spots of light are appearing on the screen. The radar cannot lock onto so many targets. What should we do?"
the radar operator said in panic.
"What?" The captain hurriedly walked to the radar screen. At this time, the radar screen was full of flashing spots , so densely packed that the screen could no longer be seen clearly.
"It was electronic warfare. The other side activated electronic suppression and our radar was attacked. It's very likely that the Juneflower was hit and sunk in this way." The first mate said after taking a look.
"Immediately eliminate interference and activate all anti-aircraft firepower to prevent missile attacks."
The captain said coldly.
"Captain, a missile has been detected!" a crew member said in horror .
"Where?" the captain asked with a grim face.
"There...there!" The crew member pointed outside the observation window with trembling fingers.
The captain looked back suddenly and saw missiles flying across the sea at low altitude, already very close to them.
Boom!
An improved Tomahawk missile hit the command module directly, lifting it into the sky.
Another improved Tomahawk missile hit the side of the ship, creating a hole with a diameter of at least five meters and affecting at least three watertight compartments.
The surging sea water rushed into the hull, causing it to tilt.
The crew members who were not affected by the explosion and survived the accident desperately grabbed everything around them to avoid slipping.
At this moment, another Tomahawk missile hit the stern watertight compartment.
More seawater poured in.
At this time, the ship could no longer maintain its balance and crashed flat on the sea.
Many crew members who had just slipped into the sea were directly killed by the big ship on the sea.
The ship took in a large amount of sea water and began to sink slowly.
Not only the remaining Arleigh Burke, but also the remaining two Zumwalt-class arsenal ships and even the Perry-class frigate suffered the same fate, being hit by several Tomahawk missiles and sinking directly.
Only the Iowa-class battleship in the middle was not sunk due to Zhang Tuohai's repeated requests.
However, the main weapon systems, including electromagnetic guns, laser launchers, etc., were destroyed by Tomahawk missiles.
Although Zhang Tuohai was also very envious of the electromagnetic cannon and wanted to get one to play with, for the sake of his own life, Zhang Tuohai still reluctantly destroyed it.
"Confirm the strike situation." Zhang Tuohai said.
"According to investigation, all the escort ships have been destroyed and sunk, and the flagship's weapon system has been destroyed, making it unable to resist."
Xiao Ai evaluated.
"Great, get ready to board the ship. I've never dismantled a 40,000-ton battleship before."
Zhang Tuohai was rubbing his hands, looking eager to try.
At this moment, Xiao Ai suddenly issued a warning.
"Commander, a Growler electronic warfare aircraft has taken off from the Joint Pharmaceutical Base on the peninsula and is on patrol, apparently cruising and searching."
"The electronic warfare aircraft took off?" Zhang Tuohai frowned. He had already tasted the sweetness of electronic warfare and naturally did not want others to unleash the power of electronic warfare.
"Are our electronic warfare capabilities adequate? Can we deal with their aircraft ?"
Zhang Tuohai asked.
"Because after capturing the F 35C and the Growler, we analyzed their friend-or-foe identification codes, so it's not a problem to deceive them. In addition, our electronic warfare capabilities are also at an advantage. Should we suppress them by force?"
Xiao Ai asked.
"Can we shoot it down with a missile?" Zhang Tuohai asked.
"The ceiling is too high, and the air-to-air missiles we have can't reach it." Xiao Ai said.
"Then let's deceive for now and send the F35C up there to shoot it down for me."
Zhang Tuohai recalled the Global Hawk and sent out an F35C.
Buzz——
The f35c flew high into the sky.
The F35C soon spotted the pursuit with a roar. However, because the enemy identification codes matched, the man didn't think much about it and asked casually: "Hey, man, were you also called up in the middle of the night for patrol?"
What puzzled the Growler pilot was that the F35C did not respond at all.
"Why is there no reply? Is the radio wave being interfered with?" The Roarer's pilot began to adjust the frequency.
At this moment, his early warning radar suddenly sounded and he was locked by the fire control radar.
"What's going on?" The pilot of the Growler quickly turned on the electronic jammer and prepared to spread infrared chaff and guided missiles.
However, at this time, an AIM missile had already hit his body.
Boom!
The Roarer exploded in mid-air, and all kinds of fragments fell like flowers from the sky.
“Well done.”
Zhang Tuohai waved his fist excitedly.
Then, Zhang Tuohai recalled the f35c and replaced it with the Rainbow 4 drone.
Zhang Tuohai first controlled Rainbow 4 to use precision-guided bombs to blow up the airport runway of the United Pharmaceutical Base on the peninsula.
Afterwards, he controlled Rainbow 4 to fly towards the Iowa and monitored it from high altitude.
He himself sent out several hand-thrown drones for surveillance in the direction of the peninsula base, and then he activated the helicopter mode and flew towards the Iowa.
After more than half an hour, Zhang Tuohai flew over Iowa.
At this time, this huge warship was slowly fleeing northward.
Some crew members were holding huge water hoses to put out the fire.
Zhang Tuohai was very excited when he saw this. He jumped directly to the overtime from a height of more than two meters holding a Gatling machine gun.
Completed the boarding operation in the missile era.
Looking at Zhang Tuohai falling from the sky, these people widened their eyes in astonishment, not knowing whether he was an enemy or a friend.
"Capture all the crew members and throw them into the ship's warehouse. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed on the spot."
Zhang Tuohai shouted to the self-propelled machines swarming out from behind him.
Many self-propelled machines, holding Gatling guns, carrying RPG7s and individual fuel-air explosive bombs, rushed towards the crew like wolves and tigers.
Those crew members were just ordinary sailors, usually responsible for operating the ship. They had never seen such a scene before. When they saw the black muzzle of the gun pointing at them, they immediately raised their hands in cooperation.
Except for a small number of security personnel who chose to fire their guns back, most of the crew members were very obedient and were controlled by Zhang Tuohai.
As for the security personnel, nothing happened to them except being crushed into pieces by the RPG and individual fuel-air bombs.
In this way, Zhang Tuohai took control of the battleship Iowa without any surprise.
