Chapter 562: Sakura warships enter the exercise area and are sunk
Wang Chao stood in the command cabin of the cruiser, contacted the personnel of each ship to arrive at the exercise area, and then released the sea search radar.
Enter combat status.
Anti-submarine sonar equipment amplifies power to search for hidden submarines.
There is also a destroyer's air defense radar to search for possible air strikes.
There is actually no need to guard against this. The Soviet Union does not have aircraft carriers and does not have the ability to carry out sea-based bombing.
As for the exercise, every step must be taken seriously and strictly followed.
It is also an opportunity to check the officers of the troops.
"Captain, we have arrived at the firing area. Please give the order to fire at the target area."
The destroyers' guns turned towards the same target location and fired at the same time.
Carry out fire coverage on the target sea area.
At the same time, enemy ships also arrived at the designated area and launched fire counterattacks.
Exercises are usually combat drills carried out according to a plan, and it is impossible to conduct real shooting.
Set imaginary goals for each other.
When the fire control radar locks onto a Russian ship, it will directly notify the other party. Of course, with the Russians' radar technology, they should be able to detect that they have been locked.
The first day's exercises were rather conventional, with naval guns and torpedoes attacking targets.
The splash of water was more than ten meters high, with white waves and a fishy smell.
This is the taste of the sea.
The warship braved the wind and waves and continued to sail north.
The exercises conducted by both sides here alarmed the Sakura Maritime Guard, which sent several coastal defense ships to explore the sea area.
As soon as they arrived at the exercise blockade area, a frigate came out to intercept and informed Sakura's warship that this was an exercise area and it was strictly forbidden to intervene to avoid accidental injuries.
"Sakura's navy, there is a live-fire exercise going on ahead. Do not enter the sea by mistake to avoid being hit by our warships."
The Dragon Country soldiers on the frigate were already speaking through gritted teeth.
When enemies meet, they are extremely jealous of each other. Damn Japs, they haven't yet vented all their hatred for the War of Resistance.
The frigate's guns were aimed steadily at the enemy.
If a real fight breaks out, it is still unknown who is superior and who is inferior, and who will win and who will lose.
But it is obvious that the Japanese are a little fearless.
The fundamental reason is that the Japanese frigates are Tacoma-class frigates leased from the United States, and their overall strength is stronger than the Soviet-style frigates in the hands of the Dragon Kingdom.
It has a full load displacement of 1430 tons, a speed of 20 knots, and is equipped with 76mm naval guns and a large number of machine guns.
There is also a small anti-submarine rocket device that can launch hedgehog bombs.
8 depth charge throwers.
The frigates in Longguo's hands are similar to 500-ton gunboats.
These were some old ships given by the Russians, and their overall combat capability was not as good as the other side's patrol ships. Their tonnage was also more than doubled.
The other party pretended not to hear the warning and drove straight into the exercise area.
Whether it was intentional or he was pretending to be confused, only the Japanese knew it.
In the command cabin of Wang Chao's cruiser, he was the first to learn about the unexpected intruder and frowned slightly.
"Send a warning to the Sakura warship and arrange for the destroyer Hushang to drive it away."
"Inform the Russian side that an unexpected ship has intruded. It is not a training ship. The training operation plan is suspended."
The officers and soldiers on the guided missile destroyer Shanghai were particularly spirited. The exercise was just a small-scale fight, but expelling the Japanese warships was a real battle.
A real naval battle is likely to break out.
"Damn it, cheer up, everyone cheer up."
The captain of the Shanghai swore a curse word, but his mental state was very excited.
The missile destroyer, along with three frigates and two torpedo boats, approached the real enemy ship area, and the sea search radar repeatedly searched for the target location.
The Japanese patrol ship was found successfully.
The opponent's displacement tonnage of just over 4000 tons is dwarfed by that of a real destroyer with a displacement of tons.
A torpedo boat immediately came forward and conveyed the order to expel Sakura's warship.
Not only did the other side refuse to retreat, they also clamored that it was an international sea area and they had the right to free passage.
"Captain, what should I do?"
Chen Gang, the captain of the Shanghai, had a tense forehead and calmly reported the emergency to Wang Chao.
"Vice Commander Wang, the enemy frigate has entered the strike range of our destroyer. It has ignored our warnings during the exercise and is closing the distance. The two sides are 45 nautical miles apart. Should we strike the target?"
"Sink it!"
Wang Chao naturally won't tolerate these bastards. Warning you won't work, right?
It's only been a few years, and your tail is already sticking up again. I will never tolerate you.
Two other Soviet warships came closer and jointly issued an order to expel Sakura's warships.
Just after shouting once, a white light was seen flying out of the Shanghai, and with a whoosh, the Ship Destroyer anti-ship missile directly hit the Sakura frigate.
For an anti-ship missile, a distance of 45 nautical miles is just the time it takes to smoke a cigarette.
With the assistance of radar guidance, the anti-ship missile directly hit the Sakura frigate. A violent explosion was heard and caught the eyes of the Russian Navy.
And then nothing happened. All we saw was Sakura's patrol ship sinking into the water little by little.
One shot hits the target and destroys it instantly.
How dare you pull out a tiny frigate with a displacement of more than a thousand tons to seek death?
Satisfy you.
I was just thinking of finding a reason to show the Russian big brother the deterrent power of the missile destroyer.
Just then, someone came up and offered himself as an opportunity to be killed. How wonderful!
When you are sleepy, you come to the pillow; when you want to show off your power, you come to seek death.
There were more than 70 people on board the ship, but no one survived and the warship fell into the underwater sea.
The Sakura Sea is generally deep. A small patrol ship sank and the sea surface quickly returned to calm.
There were some driftwood and planks floating on the ground, which were quickly scattered by the continuous waves.
In a few minutes, all trace of the frigate will disappear without a trace.
The navy on the Russian side widened their eyes in disbelief.
"Is my brother from Longguo so irritable?"
"They started fighting after a disagreement. They were dozens of nautical miles away and the enemy was sunk with one missile."
"This distance is beyond the range of the destroyer's guns."
The range of a destroyer's naval guns is generally around 30 kilometers, and 40 nautical miles is equivalent to 74 kilometers.
At a distance twice the range of the ship's guns, one anti-ship missile can sink the ship directly.
It is absolutely sluggish, powerful and precisely guided.
This is a good thing, but it's a pity we don't have it.
The attack range of the artillery destroyer and the torpedo destroyer is similar. They will be defeated when facing the missile destroyer of Longguo. The comparison of their range is like a father beating his son.
How far can my son pee?
So yesterday's exercise was just playing house with us?
Judging from today's attack distance, there is a risk of being sunk as soon as it enters the radar range.
The six destroyers we have are only worth six anti-ship missiles.
The Dragon Kingdom’s naval construction level actually surpasses ours?
When the Russian Admiral Panteleyev learned the intelligence, he was very unconfident and completed the seven-day exercise with trepidation.
During the entire exercise, the Northern Fleet did not use missile strikes.
All of them are to verify the levels of artillery fire, air defense, and anti-submarine, as well as entering combat status in the event of sudden encounters at sea.
Panteleyev decided to write a real exercise report and reflect to the headquarters that we must also speed up the development of missile destroyers.
