1331 、 The 7th Fleet That Failed Once Again
In the waters surrounding Aurora Island, the reorganized 7th Fleet of the United States was advancing majestically. Other than the original Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier, the reorganized 7th Fleet also had a total of three aircraft carriers, the Stennis and the Carl Vinson, forming three powerful aircraft carrier battle groups. Because the flagship of the 7th Fleet, the Blue Ridge Command Ship, was destroyed by the Hydra Army, the flagship of the 7th Fleet was now the Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier.
This huge fleet included 10 Ticondaroga-class cruisers, 22 Aliburk-class destroyers, and two Wasp-class amphibious assault ships, the Sulfur Island and the Essex. In addition, there were also three Austin-class dock landing ships and one San Antonio-class dock landing ship that was commissioned a few years earlier than normal. In addition, there were also seven Los Angeles-class nuclear attack submarines.
With such a powerful lineup, any country on Earth, including Russia and China, would be afraid of them. But now, they had appeared outside the small Aurora Island.
Now that they had confirmed that Tang Yu was currently on Aurora Island, an hour ago, the SEALs had already set off from the Essex and Sulfur Island amphibious assault ships. This time, the SEALs had mobilized a total of 10 combat teams, including more than 140 of the most elite special forces soldiers. Their target was the most dangerous criminal in history — Tang Yu!
After the SEALs set off, the 7th Fleet did not stop. This was because the ultimatum issued by the United States to the Guardian Group would arrive in 15 minutes, and it seemed that the Guardian Group had no intention of complying. The new commander of the 7th Fleet, Vice Admiral William Claude, commanded the three aircraft carrier battle groups to spread out in a triangular formation and began to prepare for landing. It was estimated that after the 15 minutes deadline, they would immediately launch the landing operation.
However, what made William Claude feel a little strange was that as soon as the reconnaissance aircraft they sent approached Aurora Island, all of their electronic equipment would malfunction. Thus, the reconnaissance aircraft did not dare to get too close.
At this time, Vice Admiral William Claude suddenly received a very abrupt communication from Tang Yu!
"You have entered the 5-kilometer warning zone outside of Aurora Island. If you continue to approach, we will treat you as a hostile act. Please leave immediately, "Tang Yu said to him lazily.
"The Guardian Group's sovereignty over Aurora Island is not recognized by any country. You have no right and no power to make us leave!" Claude replied with his head held high.
"But you Americans are really cunning. It's obvious that the ultimatum hasn't arrived, and you have already made your move. Well, I just captured more than a hundred SEALs. Aren't you going to explain? "Tang Yu asked back.
Claude was shocked, but he still maintained his calm and said sternly, "You must know that you are challenging the dignity of the United States of America! Let me advise you, don't go further! Return all the captured personnel and equipment. Abide by the ultimatum! "
"You've always failed, but you've always been stubborn. I'm talking about you." Tang Yu curled his lips. "Anyway, I'm just here to inform you. I don't plan on letting you leave. Let's put it this way, I'm not interested in following your timetable, so I'll attack you in 10 minutes. Hurry up and get ready. "
After saying that, Tang Yu hung up the communication without any explanation.
Claude was silent for a moment. Then, he waved his hand and said loudly, "Order all fleets to prepare for battle! The plane took off! Monitor the situation at the bottom of the sea and the sky at all times! The landing force will depart in five minutes! "
The entire Seventh Fleet immediately moved into action! Hundreds of F/A-18 fighter jets sealed off the entire airspace. The E-2C Hawkeye early warning aircraft also flew high into the sky to observe the entire battlefield, and the S-3 anti-submarine patrol aircraft also closely monitored the seabed.
All the missile launchers on the warships were ready to fire at any time. The active radar was turned on, and the MK-15 close-range defense system was constantly scanning the surroundings of the warships.
Five minutes later, with Vice Admiral Claude's order, more than 30 V-22 Osprey tilt-rotor aircrafts under the protection of more than 10 SH-61 Seahawk helicopters rushed towards Aurora Island! At the same time, more than a dozen large hovercraft and dozens of AAV-7 amphibious armored vehicles filled with Marine Corps soldiers also set off from inside the three Austin-class and one San Antonio-class dock landing ship!
Because this was not a large-scale war for the United States or the Guardian Group, the Seventh Fleet did not prepare their firepower but directly landed!
However, after the 10 minutes that Tang Yu said was up, an extremely powerful electromagnetic interference suddenly shrouded them! Radar failure, communication failure, navigation system failure! The entire Seventh Fleet was completely blind!
Vice Admiral Claude yelled from the bridge of the USS Reagan, "What the hell is going on! Immediately detect the source of the interference! Increase the signal radiation power! "
"We're already doing it! We've changed to a new frequency band, but it only took less than a minute for the enemy to detect it again! "A technician next to him said loudly.
Claude's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He looked at Aurora Island in front of him and waved his hand and said, "Launch the Tomahawk cruise missiles immediately! Aim at the mountain on Aurora Island! "
"The fire control system has all failed! Even the missiles can't hit the target! "A staff officer said loudly.
"Then don't aim! Can't even hit a mountain?! Fire immediately! "Claude said sternly.
"Mister Vice Admiral, look!!" Suddenly, an officer next to him pointed at the sky with an ashen face. Claude looked towards the direction where his finger was pointing and was instantly stunned!
He saw that in the sky above the Seventh Fleet, hundreds of oval-shaped aircraft were removing their stealth system and appearing in front of them!! The head of the aircraft looked like a praying mantis, and the circular body was loaded with densely packed missiles! Shockingly, it was the Dragon Rider Mark IV aircraft!!
"Where did these things come from!? When did they appear? Shoot them down! Quick!!! "Vice Admiral Claude cried out involuntarily.
"The radar is not responding at all! I can't aim!! "A soldier cried out loudly.
"Then fire! Fire!! No matter what it is!! In short, fire!! Fire! "Claude was flustered and exasperated as he roared.
The dense close-range defense system and MK-38 close-range defense cannons on the surrounding warships opened fire one after another. There were even some warships that fired standard type III anti-air missiles!
However, something that made them despair happened. All the anti-air missiles flew blindly into the sky, and the manually controlled close-range firepower could not keep up with these extremely agile aircraft! These aircraft were like dragonflies, flying straight, flying sideways, stopping and turning abruptly, their maneuverability was almost flawless! Even a small number of the cannons that hit their bodies were blocked by a faint energy shield!
