After defeating the Japanese anti-ship missiles, how should Huang Ting's fleet resist the enemy?

It's very simple, rush over and hit him in the face!

Have a classic naval battle!

Take advantage of your own side, that is, use the battleship's main gun to blast away the target!

Why use this tactic?

The Japanese fleet's air defense and anti-submarine capabilities were extremely strong, and its anti-ship capabilities were just the opposite.

Whether it is the "Maya", "Atago" and "Kongo" with the Aegis system, or the "Mogami", "Asahi" and "Akiyuki" with self-produced small shields, they do not have strong anti-ship capabilities.

The "Standard"-3, which has a long range and fast speed, can be used for anti-ship, but Shiren may not be willing to waste precious anti-missile anti-aircraft missiles.

Huang Ting's fleet includes two Type 5 aircraft carriers, two Type 4 aircraft carriers, four Type 3 aircraft carriers, six amphibious assault ships, two battleships, 11 cruisers, 26 destroyers and 12 conventionally powered submarines .

Combat aircraft of the Naval Aviation and Air Force have been transferred to New Zealand. They have 350 fighters and 128 bombers that can cover the fleet's actions.

Zheng Guo and Zhao Guo also have air power, but they are not that powerful, but together they have forty-six "Scissored Kite", which is a good supplement.

The "Scissored Kite" cannot defeat the F-2 fighter jet, and it certainly cannot defeat the twin-engine F-15J, let alone the stealth-capable F-35A or F-35B.

But this thing can hit subsonic anti-ship missiles. For Zhu Cixiang, as long as the "Scissored Kite" can do this well, it will be considered a great achievement!

A certain emperor did not believe that the Japanese fleet launched all supersonic anti-ship missiles and not a single subsonic anti-ship missile.

The radar performance of the "Scissored Kite" is relatively poor and cannot detect anti-ship missiles dozens of kilometers away.

However, the EMB-145SA early warning aircraft can detect these missiles, and even the F-35 that penetrates the defense can see them.

Part of the EMB-145SA early warning aircraft summoned by Zhu Cihong flew through the Far East to Annan, refueled and arrived in Australia.

There are a total of twelve early warning aircraft, four in each shift, and three shifts, which can basically meet combat needs.

After the fall of the Fiji Islands, the best outpost became New Caledonia, which is the largest island in Xiangguo and where the capital New Xiangyang is also located.

Neither King Xiang nor the people of Xiang Kingdom had seen so many imperial troops stationed in their country. Of course, everyone saw the TV reports and realized that this place had become a front line.

King Jing had already taken the royal family members to the Gold Coast before the fall of their country, begging the eldest son of the emperor to send troops to help him recover his country.

Zhu Xiangtang could only comfort the vassal king with kind words, because let alone he did not agree, even if he agreed, it would be useless. The entire maritime power of the Southwest Pacific was in Huang Ting's hands.

It’s not that Huang Ting is self-respecting. The fleet went south and fought two battles in the waters around Tasmania. Although they won one and one, the losses were unprecedentedly huge.

After that, they have to rush to Sumatra Island and cooperate with the army to eliminate the rebels on the island. After three twists and turns, the fleet is in urgent need of rest and recuperation.

If it is a small fight, sending an aircraft carrier battle group or an amphibious strike group can solve the problem, and Zhu Xiangtang can send troops immediately.

However, destroying the huge Japanese fleet cannot be done casually, and it may even be counterattacked by the opponent.

For Huang Ting and the entire fleet, the past six months have been like putting out fires thousands of miles away.

The fleet first urgently assembled and headed south to Tasmania, and then headed north to aid Sumatra.

Finally, he returned to Citizen in Western Australia, where he repaired the damaged battleship.

Now he has received another important task of marching three thousand kilometers eastward to regain the Jing Kingdom.

The important thing is that it is not the Fiji Islands where Jing Kingdom is located, but New Zealand that is threatened by the Japanese fleet.

Once the Japanese troops occupy two large islands, spread their business and develop again, it will not be able to be dealt with by the fleet.

Even if Zhu Cixiang has so much patience, he must cherish the use of nuclear bombs.

A batch of nuclear bombs were dropped on Japan before, but Shiren and his fleet were not taken away.

Then they dropped a batch of nuclear bombs in Hawaii, took Li Zhen away, and let Shi Ren escape.

Now in the South Pacific, there may be another wave of nuclear bombs...

If you still can't take it away, when will it be over?

Even though Zhu Cixiang had this idea, he still had to continue to hunt Shi Ren.

A four-carrier battle group can be obtained in one month. Even if they are small aircraft carriers of less than 40,000 tons, when the number increases, they will also carry a large group of F-35B fighter jets.

Especially if he escapes to Africa or develops in the South Pacific, the consequences accumulated over a year will be really unimaginable~!

In this case, it is necessary for Huang Ting to lead the fleet to fight another battle. If he wins, Shiren may be buried in the belly of the fish.

On the contrary, Australia will be in danger...

In order to ensure nothing goes wrong, we have to wait until the Inca fleet sent by Poirot is in place before taking action.

Before that, they had to send supplies to Zheng Chenggong.

In comparison, the African battlefield is more important.

The South Pacific is home to tropical storms, but Ming Dynasty's weather satellites can ensure that the Inca fleet has a safe journey before arriving in New Zealand.

As a result, in January, the New Hebrides Islands north of New Caledonia were also lost, which meant that the sea passage to New Caledonia was now unimpeded.

I believe that in about half a month, the island will also fall, and then it will be New Zealand or even Australia's turn.

However, the Inca fleet also arrived in New Zealand in early February, which made Zheng Guo happy.

On the night of February 2, New Caledonia was attacked by hundreds of Japanese anti-ship missiles.

Since the Ming army had anti-aircraft missiles and radar-guided anti-aircraft guns on the island, the losses were not very large.

But this is just Shiren's feint attack plan. The real target is still New Zealand, especially to capture the North Island first.

As long as New Zealand is conquered and used as a base for development, Shiren can suddenly change from passive to active.

It is difficult for enemies to come to the east and south sides of New Zealand, so we only need to defend the west and north sides.

For Shiren, the area here is large enough, and it can also be used as a springboard to conquer Australia.

After occupying Australia, the Japanese can have a continent of their own, and they no longer have to stay on an island where earthquakes occur frequently.

After acquiring a brand new four-carrier battle group, Shiren decided to immediately go south. It is only two thousand kilometers from Viti Levu in the Fiji Islands to the North Island of New Zealand.

The fleet headed south at a speed of twenty knots, and it would only take more than two days to land on the North Island.

If it were not for the very low-speed "Osumi" class amphibious transport ship, "Towada" class and "Mashu" class supply ships, the fleet could reach Kitajima in just over a day at a speed of thirty knots.

Unfortunately, this time it was not a simple naval battle, but a beach landing. A mere assault on the sea was of no decisive significance.

As long as New Zealand is not occupied for one day, it will be counterattacked by the other party.

Before New Zealand was captured, the old home of the Fiji Islands could not be lost.

Shiren deployed large numbers of troops on the two largest islands, Viti Levu and Vanua Levu.

Including two squadrons each of F-15J, F-2A, and F-35A fighter jets, and an armored brigade on both islands.

When the fleet is about to arrive at the North Island, F-35As taking off from the two islands will also fly to the local area at the same time, cooperating with 50 F-35B carrier-based aircraft to compete for air superiority on the battlefield.

There is no need to return if the flight range is not enough. As long as our own troops seize the airport, they can land.

If the attack fails, the pilot can parachute directly...

Each "Osumi"-class amphibious transport ship carries 18 Type 10 main battle tanks and two LCAC-type hovercraft, and twelve amphibious transport ships of the same type.

24 LCAC hovercraft can deliver 216 Type 10 main battle tanks to the beach in nine batches, which is enough to cover the infantry advancing into the hinterland.

There are 40 OH-1 armed reconnaissance helicopters, BK-117 light multi-purpose helicopters, UH-60JA medium multi-purpose helicopters, and MCH-101 heavy mine clearance transport helicopters in the sky to coordinate operations.

The fleet can at least use nearly a hundred 127mm naval guns to bombard enemy targets on the shore, and its power is no less powerful than seven or eight artillery brigades.

Shiren did not believe that he could not capture Beidao even after investing so much troops and firepower.

There are more than twenty "Canglong" class submarines under the water responsible for protection, and the Ming fleet should not dare to invade easily.

As for being hit by the opponent's super weapon, Shiren also thought of countermeasures.

Let the fleet be divided into two, with the landing fleet heading directly into the west bay, and the artillery fleet staying outside the bay.

As long as the anti-aircraft missiles can successfully intercept incoming missiles, the possibility of our own side being hit by such a thunderous strike again is not very high.

Even if a tsunami is triggered, as long as New Zealand's volcanoes do not erupt on a large scale, even if the warship is washed up on the beach, it can be towed back to the sea later.

After Shiren thought that his plan had no big flaws, he decided to let the fleet take action immediately.

The people of Zheng had never experienced war, so they were naturally frightened and trembling when they saw the scene of an imminent invasion.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to go to Australia to ask for reinforcements, the royal family has fled directly. Only the troops sent by Zhu Xiangtang are holding on to various strategic locations.

However, the arrival of the Inca fleet boosted the morale of the defenders and the people, and Huang Ting's fleet was already in place, so they could start waiting.

Zhu Cixiang believed that Shiren would definitely not attack Australia and New Zealand before he had accumulated enough strength. That would be a waste of time.

Reconnaissance satellites are also monitoring the size and movements of the Japanese fleet in real time. Even if a lot of satellites are shot down by the opponent, it is impossible to eliminate the Ming Empire's advantage in this regard.

Daming's reconnaissance satellites and other satellites not only have corresponding capabilities, but are also equipped with small radars that can detect incoming missiles and use missiles to counterattack.

Deploying weapons in space is Zhu Cixiang's favorite thing to do. Space control is much higher than air control.

The satellite that was finally launched into space cannot be shot down because of the enemy's missile. That would be a big loss.

All satellites can be equipped with weapons and equipment as long as they can be installed with radars and missiles.

If conditions permit, Zhu Cixiang also wants to deploy nuclear weapons in space...

Shiren used the "Standard"-3 anti-missile missile to hit the Ming Empire's satellites, but Zhu Cixiang couldn't stop him.

However, after Zhu Cixiang's speculation, Shiren should be able to produce only six Aegis ships every month.

Each Aegis ship is equipped with no more than thirty "Standard"-3 anti-missile missiles, and the six ships combined have less than two hundred.

Zhu Cixiang did not believe that Shiren would launch all the "Standard"-3 into space to attack the Ming Dynasty's satellites, unless he really planned to give up the long-range air defense of the fleet.

The range of the "Standard"-2III and IV types is less than 200 kilometers, which is not very far.

More importantly, the anti-missile capabilities of the entire SM-2 series are very poor, and are completely incomparable with the SM-3.

Shiren also needs to defend against the thunderous strike of Ming Dynasty's ballistic missiles, so it is even more impossible to launch all the standards"-3.

This thing is what he needs to save his life, and he won't get rid of it all easily...

Even if it loses many satellites, Ming Dynasty can still continue to launch satellites through its three major bases in South America, Australia, and China.

Large-scale launches use launch vehicles. A single satellite can be mounted on a bomber with a small rocket, fly to an altitude of 20,000 meters, and be launched in mid-air.

Anyway, it is absolutely no problem for the Ming Empire to launch two to three hundred satellites every month, which can offset all the "standard" -3 that Shiren brushes.

A single ship is equipped with up to fifty "standard"-3s, which is only available for the "Kimchi King" A/B Aegis ship.

Otherwise, these two models of Aegis ships are the biological sons of the Lord Kimchi!

However, after the synthesis of Zhu Cixiang's gift package, the summoning function has been cancelled, and it has become an exchange mode.

It will take two and a half years at the earliest to see a new batch of "Kimchi King" A/B Aegis ships.

For example, the JAS-39E/F "Griffin" fighter jet that has no follow-up is no longer willing to be put into the front line and can only be used as a reserve team and research target.

The EMB-145SA early warning aircraft has to be used. The Ming Empire is short in this regard. Although it has early warning aircraft, its performance is still inferior to the EMB-145SA.

Although the "Hobart" class Aegis destroyer with good air defense capabilities is not equipped with "standard" -3, a large number of "standard" -2 can already play a role in protecting one's own aircraft carrier.

All warships from East Asia, Southeast Asia, Australia, and Ceylon that can be mobilized have been allocated to Huang Ting.

The newly summoned warships, all that could accompany the aircraft carrier in ocean operations, were also photographed for Jiexuan to command.

At present, Zhu Cixiang has tried his best. Whether he can succeed or not depends on the last tremor...

The Inca fleet is not weak in strength, but it is neglected in actual combat. Unlike Huang Ting's fleet, which has fought against the rebels three times in a row.

Therefore, Zhu Cixiang suggested that they use the North Island first, hide in the waters south of the North Island, and use carrier-based aircraft and anti-ship missiles to attack the enemy.

Zhu Cixiang will provide real-time location information of the enemy, and Huang Ting can also coordinate with the Inca fleet to contain the Japanese fleet's attack to the greatest extent.

It looked like it was two versus one, but it was actually hard to say whether the two fleets combined could defeat each other.

In the past, almost all the tough battles of the Ming Dynasty were handled by Jiexuan, and this was the first time that Huang Ting was the protagonist.

The results of those three times last year can only be said to be unsatisfactory.

In the first game in Australia, I suffered a big loss. In the second game, my opponent ran away. In the third game, my opponent was too far ahead.

This battle can be considered a truly tough battle, and the incoming enemy is more powerful than the previous three enemies combined...
