Faced with the threat of carrier-based aircraft from the US Navy, Red Navy ships will not rashly approach the US aircraft carrier battle group without ensuring that they can withstand enemy air strikes. They can only send some submarines, reconnaissance aircraft and outpost ships to conduct reconnaissance and harass the US military.

Of course, this is also because there is no need to make a rash move. Anyway, the Americans took the initiative to invite the fight.

On the other hand, the KGB obtained information from the US Navy shows that the movements of the US aircraft carrier battle group are not firm at all. The US warship fleet, which is afraid of the threat of the Red Navy anti-ship platform, dare not move west rashly. In the past few days, the two sides have been constantly in friction and the encounter has been fought several times. However, no main warships of either side suffered losses, and the battle situation seems to have entered a tormenting stalemate.

Of course, this kind of stalemate is actually just a prelude to a volcanic eruption.

After understanding the current situation and comparing with an instruction from the Far Eastern War Zone General Command, Long Yun fully understood the meaning. He knew that the confrontation in the Pacific, where one side relies on carrier-based fighter jets and the other side rely on anti-ship missiles would not have a substantial breakthrough. To break this deadlock, some kind of external forces would need to be involved.

After rushing through all the materials, the intelligence and analysis reports in front of him were simply dazzling. For Viktor Rezenov's operation arrangements, the staff of the General Command did not put everything to the lieutenant general himself, but gave a detailed plan. Of course, Long Yun probably knew the contents of it. Now, the combat command room of the headquarters in the far away Irkutsk, the air force bases on the frontier of the Far East, and perhaps the desks of the command headquarters in Moscow, were waiting for his decision.

When to set off, where to fly "Ruslan"? How to launch a thunderous attack on the ocean-going enemy!

"Comrades.--Are you all ready?"

About an hour later, Long Yun, who had finished thinking, left the preparation room. He patted the officer's uniform, put on the big-brimmed hat that he rarely wore, and asked Valentina, who was accompanying him to tidy up her appearance. Then he walked through the short corridor of the cabin and stood face to face with more than a dozen crew members of the an-124b transport aircraft, and the project leader and the pilots.

"According to the instructions of the General Command of the War Zone, from now on, all personnel participating in the operation terminated all external contacts. We kept the radio silent. After taking off the air, we entered the battlefield based on the downlink data of the "cosmic" tactical communication satellite to carry out special operations. Then, if everyone has no problem," while speaking, he raised his hand and took off his big-brimmed hat that he was not used to. Long Yun looked at the soldiers in front of him who were focused and clearly excited. He waved his hand to the east with force:

“Go forward, Davarich!

Let's cheer up. Men, let's set out in ten minutes."

After saying a little short, pre-war mobilization without any connotation. Long Yun, who has superpowers, does not need to use words, but can use emotions to motivate the participants in action. He has swept through the conscious activities of these comrades and knows that they are in good condition and there is no American spy who has no eyes inside.

After doing this, seeing everyone standing attentively saluting and leaving quickly, a slight slight pace came from the young man who returned the salute. He turned his head and saw Valentina Kurtonova walking behind him. This young agent in a capable outfit obviously made preparations for the departure. However, Long Yun did not intend to let her take the "Ruslan" too. After all, once the transport plane was launched, there would be no task to do in security. He asked a woman to participate in such a risky military operation, even a KGB agent, he felt something was wrong.

"What? Don't let me go?

But Victor, isn't my duty--"

"Oh, of course I know the responsibilities; but you also see that the crew and engineers on Ruslan are all good, and the committee has also identified them one by one, right?

There is no danger here, you don’t have to worry too much about me.”

While talking casually, he felt the agent's thinking activities inadvertently. Long Yun was of course very grateful to Valentine's concern, but he was not good at acting too kindly on the surface. When he saw that there was no one on the left and right, he took the agent's hand to the front cabin door. Seeing that the beautiful agent with a little disappointed face was still a little unwilling to take a step. On a whim, he approached Valentine's ear and whispered:

"Valia, wait for me here. You made it impossible for me to concentrate on the war on the plane. Do you understand?"

“…?

Well, then, you can do it~”

Hearing the man's whisper, he felt a little rippling in his heart. He felt Victor's hand patting his buttocks. The young agent's face became hot in an instant. She glanced at him with a shy look, bit her lips and made a soft advice. She reluctantly walked through the cabin door and walked down the boarding ladder.

Having done something extraordinary just now, watching Valentine get off the plane and leave, Long Yun waved to the agent who was looking back frequently at the door of the cabin, but his feeling was a little strange.

Ah, what I just said, "I can't concentrate on fighting" is actually a truth, but it will definitely be translated into something else in Valia. Is it really okay to say this...

Of course there will be no problem, but it is really difficult to think about it.

After seeing off Valentine, he saw that it was almost time to leave, Long Yun took out the wireless intercom he had received and called, confirming that "Ruslan" was about to take off. He looked up at a vast night sky above the dim lights of the base. He stood in the cold night wind blowing towards him for a moment, took a deep breath, then took two steps back, signaling the mechanic waiting beside him to press the button and close the front hatch of the transport plane.

At 10 o'clock in the evening of the Soviet Far East time, in accordance with the instructions of Lieutenant General Viktor Rezenov, a row of indicator lights on the runway were faintly bright in the tightly guarded Khabarovsk Air Force Base. A giant carrying a gray-white painted fighter jet started the engine at the top of the runway. The whistling began to echo around. The "Ruslan" carrying an important mission released the brakes and began to accelerate. Soon, he flew away from the ground with a distant thunder, and rushed into the vast night sky with his head held high.

The transport plane has set off, and a series of instructions on this combat operation are naturally earlier than the "Ruslan" operation.

On the day when the decisive battle broke out in the long sea, just as Long Yun was waiting for the an-124b transition at the Khabarovsk base, the Red Navy long-range bombers troops located in several naval aviation bases in the Far East were also ready to go. From Nikolayevsk to Kronoki on the Kamchatka Peninsula, a total of four long-range bombers were ready for combat. One tu-22m3 bombers with slender figures and sharp heads were on standby on the side of the runway.

With the movement of the missile mount, the huge silver-white KSR-5 air-launched anti-ship missile was mounted under the fixed section of the Tupolev bomber's belly and wing, or in a group of six, which can be accommodated in the KH-15 in the missile compartment. The two missiles are of different sizes, and the range and combat methods are also different. The weapon configurations of the four bomber regiments have their own focus. The specific action depends on the orders of the General Command of the War Zone.

This is the case with the bomber, and the front-line troops escorted the bomber group have also entered the first-class combat readiness state.

From the Far East Continent to the Northwest Pacific, there are many assault routes for the Red Navy long-range bombers. Among them, one route that takes off from the Kamchatka Peninsula is the best and can directly rush to the predetermined sea area. The efficiency of dispatching from the Sea of ​​Okhotsk is slightly worse, and you need to fly over the entire sea area to enter the ocean.

In addition, taking off from Sakhalin Island or nearby airports is also an option. The flight route of the bomber group is not far, and there is a greater suddenness in the battle than Kamchaka direction. However, this road is too close to Hokkaido. The tu-22m3, which is cruising in groups of high altitudes, is very conspicuous on the long-range warning radar. It is conceivable that it will inevitably be intercepted by Jasdf and US fighter units stationed in Japan, and the Red Air Force is under greater escort pressure. For this reason, the General Command of the War Zone specially arranged the experienced and outstanding VVS 237th Fighter Aviation Regiment to be responsible for this direction, and is equipped with a certain number of I-78m tankers to cooperate with the A-50 early warning aircraft.

With a large amount of aerial force on the long front, the bombers and escorts were ready to attack the Eastern Sky and fight the Americans to fight for a tough battle.

However, before this, the first person to appear in the sky was of course the "Ruslan" transport plane that Long Yun rode.

Take off from the Khabarovsk Air Force Base and participate in the long-distance battle of the Red Navy, this choice is not the most preferred plan, but the current situation is urgent and there is no time to adjust.

Just look at the map and you will know that the latitude of the city of Khabarovsk is not very high. From here, the most economical straight route is almost passed by Hokkaido. Although the "Ruslan" carries a su-27m2, it does not have any combat capability. Therefore, the real planned route must be taken a big turn and pass through the northern part of Sakhalin Island, about 800 kilometers from the northern end of Hokkaido. The south side of this route is the airspace of VVS and PV key patrols, which is used to ensure the safety of Lieutenant General Viktor Rezenov's journey.

In this way, the distance of operations on the map is only 3,000 kilometers, and the distance of the route increases by one third after the bend.
