"Temporary no-fly and no-fly areas will be activated at 1953:4 on April 12, 50, and the end time is to be determined."
"I hope warships, ships, and aircraft of all countries avoid sailing in the above-mentioned waters to ensure safety."
Charles Willoughby took the telegram and quickly found the marked points represented by these longitudes and latitudes on the map. The four points were connected to form an approximate parallelogram, which basically included the Taiwan Strait.
What can be done now?What else can Far East Intelligence Command do now?
Charles Willoughby looked up at the ceiling, wondering what orders the Seventh Fleet would send to the US warships cruising the Taiwan Strait.Those 3 US warships and 2 national warships are already in the designated no-fly and no-fly zones.
……
Taiwan Strait, off the coast of Miaoli County.
"It is expected that the air force support will be in place in 30 minutes, maintain the current speed and heading, prepare for sea interception and night shelling, and advance to the waters near Penghu."
Emerson was silent when he got the telegram.
The air force support is of course the national army's fighter jets taking off to patrol over the Taiwan Strait.Although it is dark night now, it is still possible for national army fighter jets to take off and land at night.Of course, even with radar guidance at night, it is very difficult to intercept bombers.This thing is an emboldening effect before 5am.
On the five warships, not only the sea/low-altitude search radars have been turned on, but also the fire control radars equipped with the 127mm high-level dual-purpose guns and the 40mm "Bofors" have also been turned on.However, where are the 6 Chinese bombers that disappeared from the radar screens a few minutes ago?
The Seventh Fleet Headquarters, Lieutenant General Joseph Clark, issued instructions to the Emerson Fleet, and also sent telegrams to the military advisory group in Taiwan and the commander of the Air Force of the Republic of China at the same time, telling them that something was wrong and they should take off fighter jets immediately.
According to previous procedures, the National Army's air force night duty squad will soon take off the F-86 and circle around the Emerson fleet.
But 5 minutes passed, and 10 minutes passed, and the national army and air force couldn't call.After another 20 minutes, if the call still fails, it is time to authorize the air force colonel of the US military advisory group to take over the command of the two national army bases, and the Americans will command the national army's fighter jets to take off.
The National Army Air Force still did not respond.
Then the Emerson Fleet sent another telegram, not from the light cruiser "Manchester", but from the destroyer "Gurk" of the formation:
"The cruise fleet was attacked by an unknown attack, and the 'Manchester' and 'Chevalier' were hit."
……
The six Chinese bombers disappeared from the radar field of vision for only 6 minutes. When the bombers reappeared in the field of view of the "Manchester", the distance between the two sides was less than 7 kilometers.The bomber quickly re-climbed to an altitude of 40 meters and continued to approach.
"... found the source of the signal, the Chinese plane is using radar to illuminate us with continuous waves!" The radar alarm was the first to find something wrong.
"Tu-2 turned around and headed back."
"It must be a guided weapon with a rocket motor, a missile!"
The "Manchester" was the first to react, and turned its rudder to the right to point its course in the direction of the Chinese aircraft—should also be the direction in which the missile was attacking.The anti-aircraft guns that can fire forward include a double-mounted 1mm gun and several 127mm and 40mm cannons. Although they only account for a small part of the ship's anti-aircraft guns, it is better than exposing the large side.
As soon as the 1-ton light cruiser turned its bow around, several bright spots appeared in the sky.The speed was too fast for the 127mm gun to react, and the 40mm and 20mm guns fired at these small bright spots, but it was of no use.
The "Haiying"-1 air-to-ship missile maintains level flight at an altitude of 200+ meters. When the seeker catches the warship on the sea surface, it starts to dive down from about 800 meters.Although the "Manchester" was facing the enemy with its bow, the first "Seahawk"-1 hit the port side of the target accurately-the angle of incidence was too small, and the speed of the missile was not as fast as that of the shell, so it was bounced off .However, the impact of this intensity still triggered the fuze of the missile warhead, and the missile exploded a few meters away from the hull.
The second "Seahawk"-1 hit the gun mantlet of the first main gun turret. As the front of the main gun turret of the light cruiser "Manchester" is still somewhat armored, the missile exploded on the surface of the turret. The door guns were damaged, but the interior of the turret was not destroyed.
The third "Seahawk"-1 was still the same as the first two, calibrated and dived, and drilled into the bridge of the "Manchester" from the front.
Brigadier General Gail Emerson died.
……
The 6 "Eagle Strike"-2 missiles projected by 12 Tu-1s hit the "Manchester" and the Kieling-class "Chevalier". It is a pity that there is no firepower coordination and distribution system. Hit the target with the strongest radar signal first, and if the radar signal is almost as strong, hit the target most centered in front of you.
没有导弹被防空炮拦截。7枚“鹰击”-1飞向“曼彻斯特”号，4枚命中。5枚飞向“谢瓦利尔”号，3枚命中。
One in the front of the "Manchester" turret, one in the bridge, one in the cabin below the left side of the 127mm secondary gun, and one in the port side of the front of the ship were ejected.The missile that hit the bridge completely destroyed the command structure of the "Manchester".
The "Chevalier" did not completely turn to the bow to face the enemy-although it is a destroyer with a smaller turning radius, after the "Chevalier" received the order to turn, the captain ordered it to turn downwards. late. When the "Sea Eagle"-1 flew, although there was a slight angle, the missile still hit the side.Two of the three missiles hit the middle of the hull, and one hit the side of the center front.The destruction of the chimney in the middle forced the "Chevalier" to shut down half of its boilers, and the missile that hit the side of the center and front part tore the hull, causing a large amount of water to flood the "Chevalier".
The five warships are fully loaded with a gross tonnage of nearly [-] tons. Half an hour ago, they were still showing off in the Taiwan Strait. Now the entire formation has to stop to deal with the two seriously injured ships.

"The working principle of anti-ship missiles is like this. The aircraft uses radar to continuously search the sea surface. After finding an enemy ship, the small computer on the aircraft calculates the enemy ship's position in 3 minutes based on the course of the aircraft and the speed and course of the enemy ship. What position. Input this parameter into the missile, and then launch the missile. The missile will fly towards the calculated point.”
In the Beijing War Situation Center, Tang Hua placed small models of warships, bombers, and missiles on the table, and explained the combat process of anti-ship missiles to the chairman, commander-in-chief, prime minister, and Secretary Deng.
"Our missiles have a range of 36 kilometers, while the anti-aircraft guns on American warships have a maximum range of over 10 kilometers, and the effective interception range is only a few kilometers. Chiang Kai-shek's fighter jets are not easy to intercept at night, so the bombers launching missiles are absolutely safe. Missiles The speed of the missile is almost twice that of a bomber and more than ten times that of a warship. Therefore, after the missile flies 30 kilometers, the warship cannot escape too far no matter how much it turns. At this time, the missile turns on its built-in seeker to see the details of the warship. Where is the position of the warship. After the seeker finds the position of the warship, it controls the missile to fly towards the warship, hit it, and explode."
"That is to say, when our bombers attack, we just release the missiles, and return to the voyage swaggeringly after releasing the missiles. The enemy ships on the sea can only be beaten passively, and there is no way to shoot down our bombers?" the commander-in-chief asked.
"Yes, unless the enemy also has fighter jets in the sky, and it must be able to fight at night...that's another topic," Tang Hua replied to the commander-in-chief, "but if the enemy has no planes in the sky and only warships, then they are completely passive. of."
"Chiang Kai-shek, his Air Force Commander-in-Chief and the Air Force command organization were taken over in one pot before. Even if he wanted to intercept, he couldn't send planes to intercept our bombers." The Prime Minister also replied to the Commander-in-Chief.
After the chairman listened to Tang Hua's explanation, he looked at the model of the table in front of him for a long time. "Xiao Tang, is this missile designed and manufactured by us?"
Tang Hua: "The overall design of the missile...is me. The aerodynamic layout design and modification is Huang Zhiqian, the chief engineer of Factory 112B. The main structure of the missile is produced by Factory 112B, which is the Shenyang Missile Complex. The guidance system is under the Electronic Information Industry Bureau. The warhead is manufactured by the factory, the warhead is manufactured by Fengtian Arsenal, the fuze system is manufactured by Jianxin Company, and the solid propellant is produced by Dalian Chemical Industry Consortium. Also, the initial test of the missile after it is manufactured is at the Wuliangsuhai Missile Test Site. , Entering the later stage of live ammunition targeting, it was carried out at the Bohai Bay Test Site, which was jointly built and maintained by our navy and the Soviet Navy's brigade base."
……
North of the Penghu Islands.
Four large missile speedboats sailed at a low speed of 4 knots on the sea.
The large missile speedboat is modified from the hull of the Soviet-made P6 torpedo boat.The maximum speed of the non-stop planing boat with wooden structure can reach more than 40 knots, and 16 knots is actually in a state of slowly crawling.
Chen Youming, the leader of the guided missile boat squadron, has been staying in the radio room. The results of the air force's first wave of strikes have been preliminarily counted, and the torpedo boat squadron was notified by the Xiamen Front Commander.
Two of the five warships of the U.S. Army and Chiang Kai-shek were shot, including the largest cruiser. It is said that both ships were seriously injured.This news is good news for Chen Youming, because there are three enemy ships left, and they should all belong to his missile speedboats.
"The front refers to the order, my squadron speeds up and enters the attack position, preparing for missile strikes! It is the order from Commander Xiao!" The telegraph operator raised the telegram in his hand and shouted to the squadron leader.
Chapter 37, the Pentagon is a bit confused
United States, Baltimore.
Johns Hopkins University School of International Relations, where Eisenhower gave a speech entitled "America's Contribution to Peace in Asia".
36 hours ago, the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed, and the U.S. government and opposition immediately expressed their joy. Newspapers and radio broadcasts made positive reports, to the effect that "We are finally free from the Korean peninsula, spreading flowers~~~~".
In March, the first batch of released prisoners of war returned to the United States. More than 3 American soldiers without arms and legs appeared in front of their relatives, friends, and reporters. The cruelty of war once again shocked everyone.Unlike Pearl Harbor 1000 years ago, the war in North Korea was neither an invasion of U.S. territory nor an invasion of U.S. property. It should have had little to do with the United States.
In the past two years or so, the American people were still full of anger (under the brainwashing of the news media) at the beginning, and felt that it was necessary to teach North Korea a lesson and uphold justice in the world.
As the war became more and more wrong, the wounded were transported back in batches, and the urns and body bags were pulled back by trucks. The current public opinion in the United States has long been less bloody than it was in July and August 1950.
If the war is not over, even McCarthy will find it difficult to suppress dissatisfaction.And if the armistice agreement is signed, Eisenhower's approval rating will increase by at least two points.
"I once said that if I were elected president, there would no longer be soldiers in North Korea facing enemy fire. Now, I did. It was the United States that brought South Korea out of the brink of extinction, and it was the United States that brought Japan to the deterrent in the Soviet Union It is the United States that allows Taiwan to maintain a balance of power and peace with the red China that is close at hand. To achieve all this, the United States only needs to use its military deterrence and comprehensive national strength correctly..."
