Chapter 200 Nagato's Crisis
Saratoga couldn't wait to try out her new toy.
The F18 originally only had 9 pylons, but this is the magic route.
As Saratoga gave the order to reload, an F18 loaded with Harpoon anti-ship missiles appeared on the deck.
There are two pylons on both sides of the wing, each carrying four Harpoon anti-ship missiles.
Saratoga actually mounted 16 anti-ship missiles on the F18.
At the same time, two one-ton JDAM guided missiles were mounted under the belly of the aircraft.
By this calculation, the F18's mounting capability is even stronger than that of the land-based J-16.
There is no way, it's because the White Eagle has special weapons and the Royal Navy does not have modern carrier-based aircraft.
Kewei in the distance also cast an envious look.
The commander gave him a J-16, which he used very skillfully.
Especially the terrifying mounting capacity, only a small formation of three aircraft is needed to destroy a small group of Siren mass-produced ships.
"Give it a try, Saratoga."
At this moment, Ningle had returned to the captain's room of Saratoga. After obtaining the consent of his commander, Saratoga couldn't wait to take off the F18.
Saratoga, a carrier-based jet fighter, had already mastered the operation skillfully. As the F18 was catapulted into the air, the aerial bomb truck controlled by Saratoga rushed towards a Siren fleet not far away.
"Ding - the ship girl fleet has been spotted."
Just when Ning Le and others focused all their attention on the Siren mass-produced ships and the Siren flagship on the sea, in an inconspicuous canyon on the seabed.
Even in modern warfare, the location of the canyon cannot be detected by sonar.
There are 12 Siren submarines lurking in this canyon right now.
"All hands on deck."
Soon the Siren submarines received the order.
With the help of the rugged ravines on the seabed, they approached Ningle's fleet.
Submarines have been the nightmare of large fleets in any era.
The wolf pack tactics that were once used allowed the Iron Blood camp to achieve excellent naval battle results throughout the entire battle.
It can be seen how great a threat submarines pose to large surface ships.
But Ningle’s team is not a traditional World War II ship girl. There is a 052D in the team.
This is a famous defensive destroyer, and it is the world's top in both air defense and sea search.
But after fighting for so long, Ningle had never seen a Siren submarine, so he did not let Yuli use towed sonar, but only used ordinary hull sonar.
The detection range of the Yudachi sonar is only 15 kilometers, which means it can barely detect the approach of underwater torpedoes.
But this is enough. If you want to get within 15 kilometers of Ningle, you will be discovered by carrier-based aircraft on the periphery.
"Torpedo launch."
Twelve Siren submarines fired a single torpedo simultaneously.
Located 15 km from Ningle, at a depth of 20 meters.
The 12 submarines lined up in a row and fired torpedoes in a fan-shaped pattern in the direction of Ninler's fleet.
The IQ of Siren mass-produced ships is not high, and the same is true for submarines.
The order they received was to attack all the fleets of the ship girls they found.
These 12 submarines will not be able to contact the Siren headquarters, and the current Siren is not able to communicate with the seabed.
So they patrolled aimlessly in the Siren-occupied area and turned on the sonar to detect upwards.
But as luck would have it, they happened to run into Ning Le, and this scene happened.
"Ding ding ding, torpedo spotted."
When the torpedo approached to a distance of 15 kilometers from Ningle's fleet, Yuli suddenly reported.
"Hmm? Could it be that a destroyer was let in?"
Ningle’s warships are all very large, and their passive detection distance is correspondingly far.
For example, the current Kewei can be detected at a distance of 20 kilometers.
That is to say, the formidable thing can be seen through visual reconnaissance at a distance of 20 kilometers.
"Saratoga, launch Fa18E for electromagnetic suppression."
If the exact location of the fleet was discovered, Ningle would be in danger.
You have to know that Ningle had been advancing all the way, and no Siren had actively attacked them.
Once Ningle's position is exposed or Siren receives an order and takes the initiative to attack Ningle, the only thing Ningle can do is retreat.
Therefore, the most important thing for Ningle at this moment is to implement electronic suppression on the entire sea area to prevent the Siren from transmitting the situation here back.
"What's going on? Commander Ningle."
Littorio was a little nervous.
During this week, Ningle's fighting style was almost always crushing. At this moment, Ningle's solemn gaze made Littorio very nervous.
"Yeah, nothing much, just a bunch of submarines."
This kind of thing was not a problem in Ningle's opinion. As long as Yuli released the towed array sonar, all Siren submarines 30 kilometers away would be detected.
But in Littorio's opinion, as long as the fleet is targeted by submarines, unless a large number of destroyers use depth charges to drive these submarines away, this group of large surface ships will be destroyed.
"Commander Ningle, let's hurry up. The submarine can't catch up with us."
Littorio said nervously.
"Yudachi, release the array sonar and find these submarines."
Instead of replying to Littorio, Ninler gave an order that he did not understand.
"Array sonar? What is that?"
Littorio looked confused, but at the moment he looked anxious and had no energy to continue asking questions.
"I'll contact the destroyer to pick us up now."
Littorio has already planned to contact the headquarters and ask them to send a destroyer to support us.
"No need, I've already found it."
As soon as Littorio turned around, Ningle had already discovered the Siren's submarines.
"How dare you gather together? Do you really think I can't find you?"
Looking at the detection screen in front of him, Ning Le had an evil smile on his face.
"Awesome, I leave it to you."
Kewei immediately understood Ning Le's idea.
Among all the people present, apart from Amagi's electromagnetic cannon, the one with the highest damage was her Tsar Bomb.
But the electromagnetic gun is a single-target damage, facing this large group of Siren mass-produced ships, the best way is to use the Tsar bomb.
Underwater explosions may lose some blast radius, but the power will not be reduced at all.
Three Tu-160s had already loaded the Father of Bombs and had been given instructions to prepare for takeoff.
The terrifying white swan flew over Saratoga and flew towards the right front of the fleet.
"Boom"
A huge explosion and splashing water sounded 15 kilometers to the right front of the fleet.
Then there were two more similar explosions.
"It's all taken care of, Commander."
Yudachi reported that she could no longer detect any trace of the enemy on her sonar screen, and it was obviously destroyed by the Tsar Bomb.
"I told you, it's very simple."
Ning Le looked indifferent and picked up the telescope beside him to look at the exploding sea in the distance.
"Is this - is this the power of a big bomber like that?"
The combat missions carried out by Tu-160 were generally hundreds of kilometers away, and Littorio never had the opportunity to see the attack method of Tu-160.
"Is this the legendary commander? He is so terrifying."
For a long time, Littorio didn't come back to his senses.
It was also the first time that Ning Le saw such a horrific explosion scene. Just as Ning Le was using a telescope to observe the waves that had not yet dissipated on the distant sea, a very frightened and helpless mental force suddenly came through the mental connection.
"What is this? Nagato."
At this moment, Nagato was curled up in a ball, huddled in the corner of his command room.
The pair of fox ears that were originally standing upright also drooped behind the head.
He covered his head with his hands and his whole body was shaking.
"What's going on? Why is Nagato so scared?"
