Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

"Boom!!!"

At midnight, Major General Sean, who had already fallen asleep, was awakened by a deafening explosion.

As the explosion sounded, a naval officer rushed into the room and said breathlessly: "Sir, Scout... the naval formation of the Rak country opened fire on us."

"A few minutes ago, they launched a large number of anti-ship missiles at the fleet. A destroyer and a cruiser were severely damaged, and the rest of the warships suffered varying degrees of damage."

"What did you say!!! Lak launched anti-ship missiles at us?!"

Major General Sean was struck by lightning.

His mission was to provoke the Lak speedboat fleet to fire the first shot, and his goal was achieved.

The result is frightening...

Three o'clock in the morning.

After two days of confrontation, most of the American officers and soldiers, except for some on-duty personnel, had gone to bed.

No one expected that the Latin American Congress would launch a surprise attack at this time.

No one believes that the country of Iraq has the courage to launch anti-ship missiles at an aircraft carrier battle group.

The way the Lak country fights back is nothing more than shooting bullets into the air to vent their dissatisfaction.

Or, in order to threaten the United States to give way, they may launch one or two anti-ship missiles into the sea to express their determination to confront.

No matter what, Latvia would not have the courage to launch a large number of anti-ship missiles at the United States.

But, Lak actually did this!

And it was premeditated.

If the enemy chose to launch the attack when the American soldiers were exhausted, could it not be a premeditated plan?

Two large warships anchored on the sea were on fire.

Not only the fleet commander, Major General Sean, but also thousands of US sailors were awakened from their sleep.

Fortunately, the severely damaged destroyers and cruisers were still able to move normally.

A large number of soldiers rushed to the deck and began to put out the fire.

Other warships entered combat readiness.

Soon, Rear Admiral Sean, dressed in dishevel, came to the command room of the aircraft carrier.

At this moment, the missile boat formation has completely dispersed.

"Sir, judging by the current situation, the enemy will launch a second attack. We must counterattack immediately!"

"What are you waiting for? Send out the carrier-based aircraft and activate all weapons that can sink the enemy speedboats."

Major General Sean was furious. He ordered people to report the news to the circular office, and ordered other warships to launch intensive attacks on the Lak speedboat formation.

"Before dawn, I don't want to see any surviving missile speedboats. If there are any, I swear I will send you to a military court!"

Major General Sean said murderously: "Damn Lak, damn missile speedboats, how dare they launch missiles at us? I will kill them all!"

The U.S. aircraft carrier battle group is like an indestructible steel behemoth, while the missile speedboat formation of the Rak country is more like primitive people holding cold weapons.

It was this group of primitive people who brought indelible shame to the United States' first aircraft carrier battle group.

"I didn't expect the US aircraft carrier to be so strong. It was hit by more than a dozen anti-ship missiles, but nothing happened..."

the other side.

General Aziz, who commanded the operation, was also shocked.

During the attack, General Aziz ordered a group of missile boats to concentrate their firepower on attacking the command flagship.

We don't seek to sink the aircraft carrier, but we must damage it.

Unexpectedly, the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier serving as the flagship is a thick-skinned giant.

"General, the Americans have already reacted. Their warships and carrier-based aircraft are attacking us. Should we carry out a second round of salvos as planned?"

"Carry out the original plan."

General Aziz took a deep breath. The anger in his heart would not disappear easily.

The first round of attack did not cause too much casualties to the aircraft carrier.

Then the second round of attack will definitely be able to severely damage it.

"Buzz...buzz..."

The shrill alarm continued to sound, and Major General Sean gritted his teeth.

The second round of attacks by Lak State began.

Missile boats scattered in all directions once again launched anti-ship missiles at the fleet.

The tail flames of the anti-ship missiles illuminated the night sky like day.

After the previous attack, Major General Sean stubbornly believed that the aircraft carrier battle group was negligent in guarding against it.

Today, the aircraft carrier battle group has activated its air defense system.

Not to mention launching anti-ship missiles, even if ballistic missiles are launched, the fighter jets of the First Aircraft Carrier have the ability to intercept them all.

As the number one among the many aircraft carrier battle groups of the United States, Major General Sean has an arrogance that other US Navy officers do not have.

I will never underestimate the enemy again.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa..."

While the speedboat formation was firing salvos, the aircraft carrier battle group began to counterattack, firing multiple cruise missiles at the approaching missile speedboats.

Missile boats are not scary, what is scary are the anti-ship missiles on them.

The closer the speedboat gets, the greater the destructive power of the anti-ship missile.

"Boom!"

There was a huge fire above the sea, and the various air defense weapons deployed on the aircraft carrier successfully intercepted several anti-ship missiles that were fired at them.

Just when Major General Sean breathed a sigh of relief, several more anti-ship missiles suddenly attacked.

One of the missiles successfully hit the front deck of the aircraft carrier.

The flames from the explosion illuminated the surface of the Red Sea.

Dozens of soldiers who were close to the explosion were knocked to the ground by the blast, and several other unlucky American soldiers were pushed into the sea by the shock wave.

The explosions and screams continued.

The small-scale battle at sea gradually turned into a hand-to-hand fight with bayonets drawing blood.

Dozens of missile speedboats were getting closer and closer to the First Aircraft Carrier Battle Group.

Even though the aircraft carrier battle group has the world's most advanced weapon systems and powerful air defense capabilities.

It was never possible to destroy all the missile boats with a displacement of only a few hundred tons.

The United States would never believe that the Democratic Republic of Korea would dare to attack it with anti-ship missiles.

therefore.

Major General Sean, who was ordered to intercept, dared to stand in front of the speedboat formation led by General Aziz.

The distance between the two is no more than ten kilometers.

In close-range combat, it is difficult for aircraft carriers, missile destroyers, cruisers, or frigates to exert their superior firepower.

The advantage of large surface warships lies in long-range strikes.

Once the enemy is face-to-face, it means that the US aircraft carrier battle group is gradually losing the upper hand.

Neither the Round Office nor the military ever thought that the fleet would be attacked by the enemy within a few kilometers.

No one expected that speedboats could pose a threat to large surface ships of tens of thousands of tons.

"Help! My legs were blown off, someone please save me..."

"Brothers, don't run. I'm here. Hurry and help me."

"I need a doctor, please, call a doctor over quickly."

The screams on the deck were despairing.

Not only did the Rak country cause great trouble to the United States, but also a large number of American soldiers were injured and killed.

After a successful attack, the Lak Navy not only showed no intention of retreating, but fought more and more fiercely, as if to fight to the death.
