At the moment of decisive battle, where is the American fleet?

Long Yun, who was riding on "Ruslan", knew nothing about this question. He could only get answers from the information transmitted from the satellite link. Of course, the theater command is now doing his best to analyze the trends of the US Navy, but for the consideration of the command and decision-making level, the staff's speculation was only sent together as a message to provide reference to Lieutenant General Victor Rezenov who was about to be dispatched, and it cannot guarantee that the conclusion must be correct.

According to the inference of the Far Eastern War Zone General Command, some outlines were made on the chart. Long Yun picked up the phone and asked about the current location of "Ruslan".

After departure, it flew for about six hours. According to the crew's report, the an-124b transport aircraft had reached the sea area south of the Kamchatka Peninsula at 47 degrees north latitude and 164 degrees east longitude. Take a look at the chart. At two o'clock in front, about 200 nautical miles away, the sea and air combat group of the Red Navy Pacific Fleet. A little further away, the Red Navy surface combat group was deployed and launched defense.

According to the news sent by the headquarters, an encounter had just broken out in the airspace ahead of the surface combat group. Taking advantage of the cover of the night, the Americans launched a tentative attack, or armed reconnaissance, and were intercepted by the 279th carrier-based aircraft aviation regiment of the Red Navy that was on patrol. Both sides suffered losses in the battle. After being intercepted, the US fighter jets immediately retreated. At present, the surface ship formations of the two sides had no substantial contact. The anti-submarine forces arranged in the north, east and south of the battle group did not find any infiltration activities of the "Los Angeles" class submarines.

Although Long Yun was not sure about the current maritime situation, the Lieutenant Colonel of the Red Sea Army, who was accompanying him, explained it on his behalf. He told Lieutenant General Victor Rezenov that since there has not yet been a surface battle, it means that the main forces of the fleets on both sides are waiting and watching, or taking an active defensive posture, and are also preparing to launch a decisive attack with their superior forces.

"Oiling forces" are the so-called strengths of oneself and the weaknesses of attacking the enemy. The Americans' trump card is a large number of carrier-based aircraft, and the heavy anti-ship missiles are the Red Navy's demon-subduing talisman.

The battlefield situation was clarified. Next, according to the comprehensive analysis of the information of the long-wave communication reports of reconnaissance satellites, reconnaissance aircraft and submarines, Long Yun decided to accept the analysis conclusions of the staff of the General Command. He personally picked up the pen and concealed the southeast direction of the sea chart, about 2,500 kilometers away from the coastline, and circled a thick and heavy area.

"Comrade Lieutenant Colonel, in the intelligence analysis, the Yankees' aircraft carrier formation should be in this area, right?"

"Yes, Comrade General!"

“—Okay! Then I think we can take action.

Comrade Nasimov, the time is... 4:20 am. Please check the sunrise time in this sea area, and ask the pilots to confirm that the aircraft is in good condition. I will prepare for the departure; if everything goes well, I will start to leave the work at 4:35."

"I understand, Comrade General!

There is another thing, since you have decided to attack, should you send a message to the headquarters?"

Seeing that Lieutenant General Rezenov made a decision, Lieutenant Colonel of the Red Sea, who was standing aside, raised his hand to ask. As one of the participants in this top-secret operation, Lieutenant Colonel knew that "Ruslan" was maintaining one-way radio silence, but for this important decision, he thought, should he report it to the headquarters?

"Oh! I want this, of course."

After taking off from Khabarovsk, during the flight, the "Ruslan" transport aircraft remained radio silent. This was mainly for safety and avoid being discovered by the NATO side with a sensitive sense of smell. However, now, since it has arrived over the vast ocean, according to the unified command of the Far Eastern War Zone General Command, there are only a few hundred Soviet fighter jets operating in the nearby airspace, and the significance of maintaining radio silence is not great. He ordered the KGB agents to deal with it, and let the an-124b use the airborne data link to communicate with the escort Su-27k, and send the message out.

Since the decision has been made, Long Yun still needs to wait for the above response before dispatching.

Entering the far-sea battlefield before dawn, since Victor Rezenov has chosen the attack moment, the headquarters will follow suit. As for which direction to choose as a breakthrough, it is too late to decide on the spot. It must be decided before the su-27m2 leaves the aircraft, and then it can mobilize troops through the huge battlefield command system and launch a intensive raid on the US Navy with great momentum.

After rushing to arrange everything, he took off his coat, put on his flight suit, put on his tight aviation anti-load suit, and checked his carry-on equipment with his assistant. Long Yun took out the p228 in the holster, removed the magazine, pulled the sleeve, and specially checked the emergency food and shark-proof agent he carried with him before picking up his helmet and walking towards the tail of the machine.

The battles on the ocean must be said to be much higher than those on land.

In the northwest Pacific in the cold winter, shark activities are not much at all, but just in case, Long Yun is still cautious. Even though his White No. 20 has been modified in Irkutsk and has added sea life-saving equipment according to the su-27k standard, it is more reassuring to prepare a little on his body.

Before going to war, time always passed very slowly. After making all preparations in a few seconds, Long Yun stood near the rear cabin door for a while to calm down his slightly nervous mood. While chatting with the accompanying KGB agent, he felt the fighter planes falling steadily. He looked at the watch. At 4:30 in the morning, he needed to wait for the headquarters to send back confirmation and indicate the preferred and alternative combat directions before he could board the White No. 20 to attack.

A moment later, the green indicator light installed in the rear section of the cabin lighted up, and Major Nasimov also came over at this time, followed by a communication officer next to him.

Regarding the whereabouts of Victor Rezenov's attack, it is obvious that it is the key to determining the success or failure of this battle. According to the confidentiality regulations, two people need to confirm and submit at the same time; taking over the satellite communication data that had just been decrypted was actually to choose one of the several pre-developed action plans. Long Yun only glanced a few times and shook hands with the two officers and the KGB agent next to him, which was considered a farewell before departure:

"Thank you for your hard work, Davarichs!

Let us act and join the battle for the glorious Soviet!"

Following the words of Comrade Lieutenant General, the two officers stood attentively in the cabin and raised their hands to salute a standard military salute. Long Yun, who had a helmet in his left hand, looked like a torch. He raised his hand to his ears and greeted several soldiers and agents full of respectful expressions.

After saying goodbye before departure, without any more bold words, Long Yun turned around and entered the narrow cabin leading to the top of the set, put on his flying helmet, and then raised his foot and climbed up step by step.

With the intense pre-war preparations, the flight altitude of "Ruslan" in the night gradually dropped to about three thousand meters. The white No. 20 su-27m2 on the fuselage was ready to go, and the air-to-air missiles, like long swords, were vaguely distinguished under the light of the light on the rooftop.

The god of death on the expedition was about to embark on his journey, and at this moment, the Americans were also in a hurry.

Time points to 4:35 am, just as the dark gray an-124b transport aircraft carried the fighter planes all the way east and were about to separate from the carriers, the US Navy fleet hundreds of nautical miles away was also in a busy scene.

Under the dark night, unlike the usual strict lighting control, the tracks were separated from each other. The three nuclear-powered heavy aircraft carriers heading northwest were all brightly lit at this time. The fighter planes lined up in the ejection position, and the ships wearing various vests ran around and were busy. The elevators kept traveling back and forth between the hangar and the deck, and the inspection was completed. The gray-white fighter jets with a pair of fuel tanks and missiles hung under the fuselage and wings were lifted to the flight deck.

In the dark night with vast moonlight and extremely low visibility, after detecting the traces of the enemies in the distance, it was different from the two or three nights before. When Soviet bombers were deployed, the US Navy finally made up its mind.

"Gentlemen, the command has been issued; if nothing is wrong, I will order the attack when the time is right."

The night was vast and there was no fingers on the sea. The combat command room located under the heavy deck of the "Theodore Roosevelt" was brightly lit. The sharp mercury lamps illuminated the interior scenery in white. The generals wearing a straight military uniform and a large hat were sitting around the transparent projection platform. Standing next to a large battlefield situation chart with changing light spots, William Pratt, with a cold expression, cleared his throat and said, then waved his hand to ask the adjutant to explain the details of the combat plan.

Lieutenant General William Pratt, who was in charge of the entire aircraft carrier formation, served as the commander of this long-distance operation, and served as the commander of the fleet, was a little nervous at this time.

Although he was a senior general who served in the navy for more than 20 years and commanded such a large fleet, this was the first time he had. After World War II, the US Navy, which ranked first in the world, did not fight naval wars seriously. Even during the Cold War, with severe threats from polar bears, it was mostly a trouble on land. The United States has always been the only one in the ocean, and the threats encountered are often trivial matters that are not worth worrying about.

This situation has only begun to change in the past decade.

Nowadays, a world war breaks out. Faced with the Russians' ocean-going fleet, the United States has worked hard to build for many years, and has a certain advantage in both technology and scale. However, Lieutenant General Pratt is still a little confused about the so-called "the situation is stronger than that of people".
