Chapter 289: Air Dimensionality Attack, the Terror of the Dutch
There are currently two types of ancient country's air-launched anti-ship missiles.
They are C-101A and C-201 anti-ship missiles respectively.
Among them, the C-101A anti-ship missile is an air-launched heavy anti-ship missile developed based on the AGM-12B air-to-ground missile.
Compared to the prototype C-101, the latest A-type has again increased the size of the anti-ship missile to accommodate more transistor electronic equipment and sensors.
This also makes its weight reach just over 1 ton.
The warhead weight has also been further increased to 500 kg, giving it greater destructive power.
The biggest change in the A model is the guidance method.
The original radio guidance was cancelled and replaced with radar beam guidance.
Compared with radio guidance, this beam guidance is obviously more reliable and more accurate.
At least there is no need to detect the target visually, but instead the target information can be obtained by scanning with the onboard radar and then locked.
This also enables this type of missile to have the ability to fight in all weather conditions, regardless of the weather.
After improvements, the C101 anti-ship missile has become one of the navy's main anti-ship means.
The C-202 anti-ship missile is still the prototype model, but the warhead has been replaced from a fragmentation warhead to a shaped charge armor-piercing warhead.
The guidance method is full-range semi-active radar guidance.
In terms of positioning, this anti-ship missile has become a general-purpose light anti-ship missile for the ancient navy.
There is not only an air-launched model, but also a ship-to-ship C-202A model.
During this attack, four F-4 Phantom fighter jets carried two C-101A and two C-202 anti-ship missiles respectively.
It also carries two AIM-9 Sidewinder air-to-air missiles and a 20mm Gatling gun pod.
The mission of these four fighter planes is to sink the Dutch warships directly.
So they rushed to the Jakarta Gulf as soon as possible, which is also the most likely place for Dutch warships to appear.
In fact, just as the pilot had guessed, four Dutch warships appeared on the sea surface of the Gulf of Jacinto.
So when the distance was close to about 20 kilometers, the four fighter jets launched attacks on their respective targets.
The C-101A anti-ship missile flew away from the launcher, and an orange-red flame emerged from its tail.
Driven by the surging power output of the liquid engine, the missile roared towards the target at an extremely fast acceleration.
"This is...an air raid...an air raid..."
The lookout on the Java cruiser immediately discovered the four incoming anti-ship missiles.
The tail of the anti-ship missile is too obvious, and it is difficult for them not to notice it.
Suddenly, a shrill battle alarm sounded on the Java light cruiser.
At this time, they had no time to care about the shelling mission. The captain ran outside directly and immediately locked his eyes on the missiles attacking from the side and rear.
"Air defense...Air defense..."
Although the captain didn't know what was attacking them, it was definitely not something good.
The C-101A anti-ship missile has a flight speed exceeding Mach 2, which is beyond the reach of their anti-aircraft artillery.
Under their horrified gaze, the C101A anti-ship missile penetrated into the stern of the Java light cruiser.
Under the 500 kg armor-piercing warhead, the cruiser's armor is as weak as crispy skin.
The missile went straight into the rear cabin and exploded with a loud bang.
Huge amounts of energy were released from the center of the explosion, easily tearing through the surrounding armor.
Several Dutch sailors who were still in shock were instantly engulfed by the flames of the explosion.
The violent energy spread in all directions, destroying everything in its path.
It even tore a hole directly on the top of the power compartment.
When the energy poured into the boiler room, the pipes were destroyed and high-temperature steam gushed out, directly steaming the sailors in the boiler room.
The energy pouring upwards also tore through two layers of armor in succession, tearing a hole in the top armor at the stern.
A raging fire gushed out, releasing thick smoke.
Although this missile did not cause fatal damage to the 7000-ton Java light cruiser, it directly paralyzed it on the sea.
The boiler room suffered a fatal blow, which also meant that it had lost power.
Its damage is much better than that of several other Admiral-class destroyers.
This type of destroyer has a full load displacement of only about 1700 tons, so it cannot withstand a 1-ton anti-ship missile.
As expected, the three destroyers were engulfed in flames, and thick smoke filled the entire destroyer.
After the first round of strikes, the second round of air strikes followed.
Whether it is semi-active radar guidance or beam guidance, the biggest disadvantage is single target.
Although it can guide multiple missiles at a time, it can only attack one target and cannot carry out multi-target attacks.
With the current guidance technology, multi-target guidance is not possible.
When the second wave of air strikes arrived, the Dutch warships had lost their basic combat capabilities.
Many Dutch sailors did not know what had attacked them and died in confusion.
The second wave of air strikes hit the target as expected.
Compared with radio guidance, beam guidance is much more accurate and stable.
In this age without electromagnetic interference, the hit rate is exceptionally high.
Another explosion occurred in the warship.
Four warships sank one after another in two rounds of air strikes.
After sinking four warships, the fighter jets began to group themselves in twos and search the nearby waters.
The largest coastal city in the eastern part of Java is called Sizhou.
This city is also the second largest city in the Dutch colony and the city with the second largest Chinese population after the capital Jakarta.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of refugees who fled to the sea came to Java Island. Sizhou was where they landed, so a large number of Chinese settled here.
The main gathering place for Chinese people is in the northern coastal area of Sizhou City.
It has the largest Chinese community in the entire Dutch colony.
The transportation conditions in the Chinese community are very good, with convenient transportation links connecting the entire city.
It is precisely because of this that the defensive pressure here is the greatest.
The Golden Eagle Guard had to disperse its forces to guard the streets, large and small, to prevent the Guawa people and the Dutch from rushing in.
The battle broke out in the streets and alleys in the northern part of Sizhou City, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
An attack formation consisting of 8 A-6 carrier-based attack aircraft roared towards Sizhou.
"Mortars launch colored smoke bombs to guide air strikes!"
When the head of the Golden Eagle Guard in Sizhou saw this scene, he was overjoyed and immediately gave orders.
Colored smoke bombs were dropped on the path of the main Dutch force through mortars on the commanding heights.
When the Dutch saw that what fell to the ground was not a shell but colorful smoke, they were all a little stunned.
"Poison gas bomb..."
Someone soon realized that this thing was a poison gas bomb.
Obviously, this thing that emits smoke is definitely not a good thing.
"We have the target in sight. Strike the smoke area."
When the carrier-based aircraft pilots saw clouds of smoke rising from the ground, they knew their respective targets.
The AGM-12 Bullpup air-to-ground missile left the launcher and, propelled by its solid rocket motor, roared towards the target area.
The accuracy of radio guidance depends on the weather. Today's weather is relatively good, and the deviation should not exceed 100 meters.
“Boom…Boom…”
Balls of explosions and flames rose up in many streets in the northern part of Sizhou City.
A warhead weighing more than 100 kilograms is still very lethal to ground personnel targets.
Among several air-to-ground missiles, several missiles deviated from the target area and exploded in the nearby residential area.
The explosion immediately knocked down a number of buildings, and the Gua Wa people hiding in the houses suffered heavy casualties.
Obviously, air-to-ground missiles are not that easy to use. The accuracy of radio guidance is indeed low. The only advantage is that they can launch attacks from a long distance.
By using saturation attacks, it is possible to achieve results.
But in the current situation, this thing is really not very useful.
So the pilot simply chose to attack at low altitude.
As a heavy two-seat carrier-based attack aircraft, the A-6 has a terrifying bomb load.
The four wing racks and one fuselage rack can carry a total of more than 8 tons of bombs.
For example, 114 227 kg or 28 kg bombs can be carried at a time.
Even 2000-pound bombs can be carried up to five at a time.
Its ground attack capability is still quite good.
The Dutch in Sizhou City quickly realized this.
"Air raid...it's the ancient country's jets. The ancient country's planes are coming!"
When the Dutch saw the fighter planes roaring at low altitude, they immediately burst into exclamations.
The Dutch officer was also a little at a loss after seeing this scene.
"Organize air defense and stop them!"
But they didn't carry any anti-aircraft weapons, so how could they organize air defense?
When the A-6 Intruder carrier-based attack aircraft approached the target area marked by the colored smoke, it began to drop bombs.
One after another, 114 kg and 227 kg bombs fell like flowers from the sky.
"boom...."
In an instant, there were intensive explosions on the ground.
In the fierce explosion, the building collapsed easily like paper.
The Dutch soldiers who were hiding everywhere also suffered a devastating blow.
In such intensive bombing, they had nowhere to hide.
Even the smallest 114 kg aerial bomb is much more powerful than a 203 mm caliber artillery shell. Where can they hide in the streets?
Even if you are not killed by the explosion on the street, you will be killed by the shock.
If they hide in buildings, the collapsed buildings will become their graves.
During this period, a large number of Guawa civilians were also killed or injured.
The Dutch ground forces collapsed directly under multiple rounds of air strikes.
Waves of cheers rang out among the Chinese community in Sizhou City.
Many people were in tears at this moment.
They also felt the sense of security and pride that the motherland's strength brought them.
Under the air strikes, the attacks on many cities in Java, including Jakarta, Burangan, Yongyakata, and Sizhou, were repelled.
James Loudon, governor of the Netherlands colonies, also realized that the situation was developing in an uncontrollable direction.
The ancient country joined the war without hesitation.
After suppressing his fear, he immediately asked John for help.
At this time, only John can help them.
