Chapter 1300: 1301Everyone understands the truth

Chapter 1300 1301 Everyone understands the truth

"The radar did not detect any targets...Wait..." On a destroyer equipped with radar in the Lines Empire, the radar soldier was staring at his screen.

His radar was normal at first, but soon there was interference. The beating pulse-like signal became distorted, and the peaks began to become denser.

From his point of view, this meant that there were hundreds of planes flying directly in front of him, and now he no longer knew how to report them.

 The officer came over and looked at the screen carefully, and then he was confused. He had never seen such a situation, and then he asked the most likely question: "Is the coil broken? Let the maintenance staff try to replace the parts?"

The performance of the radars produced by the Lions Empire is indeed not very stable. Their best destroyers are equipped with radars from the Tang Empire, and these destroyers are not at the forefront of the fleet.

 Because it is necessary to manage the entire fleet and make the entire huge fleet move according to the plan, many pilot ships are needed, and there are also some ships that play a "management" role around them.

 Similar to "herding", "shepherd dogs" should be placed around the transport fleet, responsible for warning and protection, as well as regulating the formation.

These "shepherd dogs" are very important, so the Lions Empire has to place the advanced destroyers purchased from the Tang Empire at the rear of the fleet to serve as the leader of the fleet, or to rely on faster speeds to **** them back and forth.

If these advanced destroyers were not really easy to use and worked hard, the Lions Empire's fleet would have been defeated long ago.

 Hence, most of the advanced destroyers are at the back, and the destroyers that open the way in front of the fleet can only use the "secondary" destroyers produced by the Lions Empire itself.

These destroyers and cruisers are slow, and their radar performance is backward and unstable. Their only advantage is that they have many weapons and look very powerful.

"Report! Radio contact interrupted! Severe electromagnetic interference!" In the bridge, the signal soldier took off his earphones and anxiously reported the report.

Through the port window, the lights on the side of the cruiser Dream next to it were flashing, and the other party was asking what happened.

 For a time, the communications of the guard fleet responsible for opening the road were interrupted, and the radars also malfunctioned. Everyone was a little at a loss. The only thing they could confirm was that it was impossible for all ships' radars to malfunction.

"Contact the aircraft carrier Lines... We may have been discovered!" In the bridge of the destroyer, he removed his eyes from the cruiser Dream, and the captain ordered: "Sound the battle alarm! All personnel are in place! Air defense Level 1 preparation!”

"Air defense level 1 preparation! All personnel in position!" Soon, red lights began to flash in the dim and long passage, and the sailors of the Lines Empire hurried through, climbed up the ladder, and came to the deck.

One Bofors anti-aircraft gun after another pointed at the sky, and everyone looked nervously at the sea in the distance, waiting for a big battle to come.

The sea water is not gentle, and Long Island is not that far south. It is already the end of December, and there is no way to swim in the sea at this time.

Scattered seawater splashed onto the life jackets worn by the sailors of the Lions Empire Navy. The captain on the bridge once again looked at the signalman, hoping that the other party could bring some good news.

"Report! The Lanes did not respond...or we were unable to receive their response. I don't know if our message was sent out..." The signal soldier himself felt that his report was a bit irritating, and his voice became lower and lower. "Send a signal to the Admiral Bowman behind...and ask them to think of a way to contact the flagship as soon as possible!" the captain continued to order, somewhat headstrong.

 If there is a communication problem, such a large fleet will fall into chaos without the enemy attacking them.

The other party has the ability to interfere with their communications. How come no one investigated it before the war? I only found out about this kind of thing after they started fighting. Isn't this a joke?

Just when they were about to restore communications, an anti-ship missile directly hit the cruiser Dream in the distance.

 The huge explosion made everyone shrink their necks subconsciously. Everyone looked at the exploded Dream and saw its exploding bridge and No. 2 turret.

"What the hell! What's going on?" The captain of the destroyer Spray straightened up, looked at the Dream exploded in the distance, and said in shock: "We are under attack! Confirm the location of the enemy! Find them! Send a telegram and tell the flagship Lane Si! We are under attack!"

"Contact lost! Sir!" The signal soldier quickly emphasized that he could no longer contact the Lanes.

“Keep in touch! Until the Lines responds to you!” the captain shouted angrily.

As he shouted, a stream of light passed over their heads and directly hit the Admiral Bowman following behind.

The small body of the destroyer cannot withstand the destruction of anti-ship missiles. In just one second, the entire bridge and chimney were lost.

Huge flames engulfed half of the destroyer's deck. The towering radar antenna frame fell in the flames and hit the turret at the front of the destroyer.

"Damn it! Enemy anti-ship missiles! Radar soldiers... Damn it! Has the radar been repaired?" Halfway through the question, the captain of the Spray remembered that there was something wrong with his own radar.

He is now almost certain that there is no problem with his radar and his radio is not broken. These are all caused by the Tang Empire, and the other party is carrying out interference!

 It is one thing to know, but it is another thing to be able to counterattack or find a solution. He had no choice but to watch his Dream and Admiral Bowman become burning fireballs.

"The enemy's warships should be near us!" The commander of the Lines naval fleet, who also did not know that Tang's carrier-based aircraft had been upgraded and could launch anti-ship missiles, also made what they thought was the most reasonable guess.

After all, according to intelligence, only the Tang Army's warships can launch anti-ship missiles. If they are attacked by anti-ship missiles, it means that the other party's fleet is already near them.

"Quick! Inform His Majesty that we have been attacked as soon as possible! Let the carrier-based aircraft search for the enemy fleet! We must fight back! Otherwise... it will be all over!" the captain of the destroyer Spray shouted loudly.

But everyone knows the truth. The cut off communication cannot be restored, and the signal troops cannot tell their current situation to the main fleet behind...
