The distance from Cancun to Havana is more than 500 kilometers, and the economic speed of the 'Perry' class frigate is about one day. The three frigates departing from Cancun were headed by the 'Brook', and the leading Colonel Harrington received a reminder from the sergeant shortly after departure.
"Attention to air defense and anti-submarine?" The colonel frowned slightly as he saw the message sent to him. General Bruchelle managed to train such a minded fleet. Naturally, he defied his opponents strategically and paid attention to them tactically.
Colonel Harrington also knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and verbally expressed contempt for the enemy to boost morale. From the action point of view, the security of the warship was not only for the army, but also for his own future.
"Ladies, be vigilant. The radar and sonar departments must always pay attention to the situation around the warship. If we are attacked, it will not only be a shame, many people will not be able to return home."
Colonel Harrington was sitting on the bridge, with his eyes wide open for fear of an accident. The 'Perry' class frigate is an old US warship that has long been retired. Its equipment is aging and it is very difficult to deal with modern fighters and submarines. If the enemy really has some powerful weapon, the threat is still great.
"I'm mainly worried about planes." Colonel Harrington heard about the air battle that happened two or three days ago and knew that his opponent had a good air force. The 'Perry' class is equipped with 'Standard 1' anti-aircraft missiles. If an opponent launches an overwhelming air attack, it will still be difficult to deal with.
The air defense range of 'Standard 1' reaches 40-50 kilometers. Within this distance, the propeller plane must fly over at least five or six minutes to enter the attack position.
Perhaps the "Super Toucan" of the Aurora Corps is equipped with guided bombs, but now satellite guidance has disappeared and laser guidance needs to be irradiated. It is impossible to launch an attack outside the "Perry" class air defense fire circle.
The Perry-class MK-92 fire control system can control two air defense missiles at the same time, and three Perry-classes can deal with six incoming enemy aircraft at the same time. At a 'standard-1' speed, the enemy plane can be shot down before it approaches.
"Unless our enemy sends out hundreds of fighters in one go, we all have enough reaction time and ammunition to shoot them down." Through simple calculations, Colonel Harrington was still a little confident.
If the opponent really sent hundreds of fighters so crazy, then the long-range radar and the Seahawk helicopters carried by the Perry class could be discovered in advance. Colonel Harrington felt that he would definitely not crash into the trap so stupidly. .
"No matter what the enemy does, we have a way to deal with it." After repeated discussions with Colonel Harrington and officers from the radar and missile departments, he felt that his own safety was still guaranteed. "Let us go forward bravely to create feats."
The three 'Perry' class ran for a day to reach the Florida Strait. The width of this strait is less than two hundred kilometers. Florida in the United States is in the north and Havana is the capital of Cuba in the south. The cautious Colonel Harrington pulled his fleet to a distance of one hundred kilometers from Havana.
"What did the radar find?" The colonel asked.
The officer in charge of radar reports: "Sir, we have detected multiple aircraft over Havana. The most special one is an aircraft hovering at an altitude of eight kilometers. We judge it to be a drone. If it carries With radar, we may have found us. "
"Eye of Havana?" Colonel Harrington also stared at the radar screen, wondering this nasty air sentry. "Unfortunately, we do not have a 'Standard-2' air defense missile with a range of nearly two hundred kilometers, otherwise we can directly It was shot down. "
The last time Colonel Harrington ran to attack Havana's port, he launched a Harpoon anti-ship missile with a range of more than 100 kilometers using the guidance of a carrier helicopter. This time he wondered if he would also come with a few missiles. Enticing an opponent to launch an air attack on himself and then consume his strength?
But at this time, a 'Seahawk' helicopter with a radar-guided pod suddenly sent a message, "Sir, there are a lot of speedboats from Havana, and they rushed directly at us."
"Speedboat? Hahaha ... wait for these speedboats to run a hundred kilometers of the sea, we will have left this area." Colonel Harrington said indifferently. "Ready to launch a Harpoon missile, target? .... "
However, it does not wait for your colonel to want to hit someone with a harpoon. The "Seahawk" just reported reminded us: "A large number of reflection points also appeared from the direction of Florida. It is initially judged that at least fifty speedboats below 100 tons are to us Come on. "
Huh ... This is actually a long time ago!
Colonel Harrington's fleet was in the middle of the Florida Strait. At first glance, it was clear that the opponent was well prepared. The Aurora Corps uses the cover of the coast and islands to arrange a large number of speedboats in advance for concealment standby. When the opponents come in, they rely on aerial drones to determine targets and launch attacks.
"Preparing for electronic interference." Colonel Harrington did not dare to neglect, he was afraid that these speedboats would be equipped with anti-ship missiles. Then a wave of missile rain will not be fun. "Hundred-ton speedboats pose little threat, even if they are equipped with missiles."
This is true. At least as far as the Colonel knows, no matter whether it is Cuba or South America, the missile boats are not without, but they are very old. And the missiles equipped by these missile boats are grandfather-level gadgets, and electronic jamming equipment on the Perry level can easily deceive them.
In order to avoid being besieged, the three 'Perry' classes still evaded, as far as possible from these speedboats. After all, speedboats have a limited combat distance, maybe they run out of fuel for a hundred kilometers at high speed, and they can do whatever they want to pack.
Although the speed of the speedboat is far faster than that of the frigate, it will take at least five or six hours to cover a distance of dozens or hundreds of kilometers, which is why Colonel Harrington is not afraid.
But this chase seems to have no end once it starts. When three or four hours have passed ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Brook's sea-search radar can find dense sea targets, His Excellency Colonel finally feels a bit wrong Already.
A 'sea eagle' helicopter even ventured to fly over to see what happened to these speedboats? The driver reported back: "Sir, these are not missile boats, but ordinary speedboats and torpedo boats. They just run fast and are not even armed."
What……?
This situation really didn't appear in the idea of Colonel Harrington, but the fact was now in front of him, and a word popped into his mind ..., a suicide speedboat.
"Order 'Seahawks' to intercept these speedboats and order three warships to speed up. We have encountered a group of lunatics."
The original beautiful fantasy was instantly disillusioned, and Colonel Harrington felt that he had encountered the desperation of his opponent-the Aurora Army did not play any high-tech and exquisite tactics at all.
But this house missed the night rain, and the 'Sea Eagle' flying in the sky again reported: "Sir, we are a bit wrong in estimating the number of enemy speedboats. These two north-south waves add up to more than two hundred ships. And the route ahead of us I saw about a hundred speedboats coming over. "
Secretly ... Colonel Harrington was a bit scalp when he heard this number. He never expected that his opponent would be so fierce to initiate a madness. "Are the people driving speedboats crazy? Are they rushing up like this? Use? We can kill them with machine guns. "
A 'Sea Eagle' has followed a close range over a speedboat, and the operator on the speedboat's bridge can be seen through the porthole.
After a few close glances, the pilot of the helicopter reported heavily on the radio: "Sir, I have some bad news. The operators of these speedboats seem to be a little abnormal. They are all really Group of lunatics! "
