Chapter 1152

Chapter 1152: Chapter 457 Electromagnetic Interference_2 Chapter 1152: Chapter 457 Electromagnetic Interference_2 In that instant, at an altitude of 2000 meters in the pitch-black night sky, ten faint points of light suddenly appeared. Like celestial maidens scattering flowers, these lights descended from the heavens and, just as they were about to enter the sea, suddenly altered their flight trajectory, heading towards the escort warships on the sea surface.

Apart from the Bush Aircraft Carrier in the middle, the radars on the other warships had not been damaged. These points of light were detected by the warships' radars the moment they appeared, recognizing them as missiles launched by someone else. However, due to the Drone Avatar's radar stealth ability, nobody noticed the existence of the Drone Avatar.

Upon discovering these missiles, the commanders on the warships were alarmed and exclaimed, “Damn it, who launched these missiles? Could it be Yan Fei in the same territorial waters? Also, their flight trajectory is very strange. Who exactly are they targeting?”

Yan Fei had finally launched his preferred mode of attack, the drone missile strike. Yan Fei's missile attack approach was highly skilled; he did not let the missiles lock onto any specific warship but instead made their flight trajectories ambiguous, seeming to target one warship and then another, leaving observers uncertain about the missiles' actual targets. Consequently, all the warships realized they were unsafe, as they all had sufficient reason to believe these missiles would eventually target them.

For their safety, all US Military Navy vessels along the missile's path retaliated without waiting for orders from the Bush Aircraft Carrier. In an instant, the dark sky was filled with orange-tailed anti-aircraft missiles streaking rapidly through the air. Having lost the central command and data sharing of the Bush Aircraft Carrier, these warships did not trust their allies and were entirely reliant on themselves for anti-ballistic missile defense. Thus, they launched a large number of anti-aircraft missiles, aiming to destroy all incoming missiles that might attack them.

The US Military Navy warships battled individually; each warship launched a considerable number of anti-ballistic missiles to destroy incoming projectiles. In a very short time, the sky was filled with anti-ballistic missiles launched by the US forces, even covering the entire sky.

The first wave of counterattacks from US military vessels was fierce. Despite the incoming missiles flying low over the sea and employing highly tricky angles, they could not escape interception by the massive number of anti-ballistic missiles. In a moment, the sea surface continuously lit up with explosive bursts as incoming missiles were utterly destroyed by the anti-ballistic missiles. However, before the commanders on these warships could breathe a sigh of relief, thirty missiles of the same type descended from the sky and skimmed across the sea surface towards them.

Already on edge, the commanders of US military vessels didn't take long to ponder before they once again ordered the firing of anti-ballistic missiles. However, with even more incoming missiles this time, they managed to counter all radar-locked missiles, only to realize afterwards that their anti-ballistic weaponry had been completely expended…

Yan Fei's second wave of missile attacks was fiercer than the first, but correspondingly, the number of US anti-ballistic missiles launched also increased. In the pitch-black night sky, US anti-ballistic missiles constantly struck incoming missiles, causing violently bright explosions. The US's vast number of anti-ballistic missiles formed a dense net of death, trapping all incoming missiles in the net, not letting a single one through. Nevertheless, amidst the intense barrage, an unexpected event occurred–an incoming missile still breached the US interception and struck a US warship.

But everyone soon realized something was amiss, as the power of this missile wasn't very strong. Although it penetrated the hull of the warship and exploded inside, it barely caused any significant damage, performing more like a slightly more potent armor-piercing round.

Upon discovering that the incoming missile was merely a weak armor-piercing round, a sense of relief washed over the commanders on all warships. Then they began to suspect more and felt a sense of foreboding. Just then, the lookouts on the warships spotted ten new missiles in the sky, trailing flames. However, these ten missiles were stealth missiles and hadn't shown up on their radar screens. If not for human eyesight, they wouldn't have been detected at all.

The US military commander quickly realized he had been duped; the previous two missile attacks were just the enemy testing the aircraft carrier battle group's firepower distribution and depleting their anti-ballistic missiles. Now that the goal of depleting ammunition was achieved, the enemy finally launched a real attack, and this time the ten missiles were the deadly blow.

In reality, as these US military ship commanders suspected, Yan Fei had previously launched only enhanced AGM-114 anti-tank missiles. This type of missile flew very fast, but had a short range and weighed only 100 kilograms. Even if the US forces did not counter-attack, few missiles would reach US military ships, and even if they did, they could not inflict significant damage. But the US forces, in their previous state of chaos and lack of security, used up a large number of anti-ballistic missiles at the first sign of incoming missiles.

In the previous two missile attacks, Yan Fei had launched a total of 45 AGM-114 anti-tank missiles, with a total ammunition weight of only 4.5 tons, not even one-twentieth of the total carrying capacity of the drones. Yet, these two probing attacks had not only depleted the anti-ballistic missiles prepared for combat on the US weapon racks but had also revealed the US firepower distribution, boosting Yan Fei's confidence.

Having fully grasped the US weaknesses, Yan Fei again launched missiles, but this time he fired the powerful AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles, equipped with a mysterious explosive that was ideal for destroying the sturdy US naval ships–this was Yan Fei's trump card.

The US military ships' radars were unable to lock onto the ten incoming AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles, and their reckless previous firing had exhausted all the ready anti-ballistic missiles. It would take a long time to reload the anti-missile weapons onto their launchers. So by the time Yan Fei's third wave of missiles was about to arrive, the US forces embarrassingly discovered that they had lost the ability to counterattack.

Realizing their dire situation, these US military ships instinctively tried to close ranks, relying on each ship's densely packed close-in weapon system to create a final air defense network to destroy incoming missiles. However, after losing command of the Bush aircraft carrier, and with the sea surface engulfed in darkness, it was impossible for these isolated ships to quickly re-form an air defense battle formation. The change in positions instead caused some panic, nearly leading them to collide with each other.

At that moment, the ten AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles swiftly approached the vicinity of the US military ships. Unable to form a combined air defense network, the US forces could only fend for themselves, using manned close-in weapon systems to fire at full force in an attempt to destroy the incoming stealth missiles. The US forces were not too unlucky–in their haphazard attack, they actually managed to destroy one AGM-129 stealth cruise missile flying close to the sea.

However, the US forces' luck ended there. The other AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles, under the precise control of the Auxiliary Brain, entered the blind spot of the close-in weapon systems' firepower and launched ferocious attacks on their respective targets from the waterline.

The first to be hit was a US Ticonderogclass cruiser, struck by an AGM-129 stealth cruise missile at the waterline near the bow. The hull shook suddenly, then violently exploded, creating a huge hole near the waterline.

Then, two more AGM-129 stealth cruise missiles entered through this hole into the interior of the Ticonderogclass cruiser and caused an earth-shattering explosion. This massive explosion ignited the large amount of ammunition carried by the cruiser, splitting the entire warship in two and causing it to sink rapidly.

In just two minutes, this powerful US naval ship with a displacement of over ten thousand tons vanished from the sea surface, leaving behind a giant whirlpool. Under the light of the burning wreckage on the sea surface, numerous US Navy soldiers could be seen frantically struggling as they jumped into the sea to escape.
