The Fifth Air Force is one of the four air forces under the command of the U.S. Pacific Air Force. Formerly known as the U.S. Army Air Forces Command in the Philippines established in August 1941, it was renamed the U.S. Air Force in the Far East in October. In January 1942, the 5th Air Force of the Army was established on this basis, with the first commander Major General Britton. After the islanders provoked the Pacific War, this air force participated in various wars, such as the Marshall Islands, New Guinea, Palau, Mariana Islands, and Philippine Islands, and in 44 years, it was part of the rebuilt U.S. Air Force in the Far East. In July 1945, he was stationed in the island nation of Okinawa and participated in the landing operation on the island country's mainland. After the outbreak of the Korean War, this air force participated in the Korean War and fought many battles with the Chinese Volunteer Army. After the smoke of the Korean battlefield has cleared, the 5th Air Force is still stationed in the island nation.

This air force has three wings. Among them, the 18th Wing is stationed at the Kadena base in Okinawa; The 35th Fighter Wing is stationed in the island nation of Mizawa; The 374th Airlift Wing is stationed in the island nation of Yokota.

In later generations, in order to contain the emerging China, the main force of the Fifth Air Force was deployed in Okinawa to prevent the Chinese force from breaking through the first island chain, and now, at the height of the Cold War, the main force of the Fifth Air Force was deployed in Misawa to guard against the invasion of polar bears.

At this time, the commander of the Fifth Air Force, who is also the commander of the US forces in Japan, Lieutenant General Paul James, is frowning.

An EP-3 electronic reconnaissance plane of our own side, in the northern part of the Sea of Japan, near Vladivostok, encountered two MiG-25 fighters of the Soviets, and in the confrontation with each other, an air collision occurred, and the EP-3 electronic reconnaissance plane was seriously damaged, and had to make a forced landing at the Soviet air base near Chuguevka!

When he received the news, Lieutenant General Paul slammed his fist on the table, damn it, the flight personnel on the plane, are they all fools? Even if it is a forced landing at sea, it is better than a forced landing in the base of the Soviets!

If it is forced to land at sea, your air force and navy can quickly dispatch to rescue the people in distress! However, in the hands of the Soviets, the situation was different!

Now, it is already dark, and the day is over, but they have been silent and have done nothing!

At this moment, the telephone on the table rang, Paul picked up the phone, and a voice from across the ocean came from inside: "Lieutenant General Paul, diplomatic progress is not good, the president has ordered to put pressure on the Soviet Union from tomorrow!" Be careful, don't take the initiative to fire! ”

Put pressure on the USSR! Now is the peak of the Cold War, any carelessness may trigger a world war, so, after getting the news that the EP-3 was hit, Lieutenant General Paul did not immediately give the order to attack, but waited for the order, and now, with the president's order, Paul can finally carry out the operation!

On the one hand, there was diplomatic pressure for the Soviets to hand over the planes and personnel as soon as possible, and on the other hand, there was military pressure!

"Yes!" Paul put down the phone and gave his own order: "Misawa base, prepare for the war, and take off immediately from tomorrow with a large group of planes, Plan Three!" ”

Plan No. 3! The biggest threat to the current US military stationed in Japan is the Soviet Union, and in order to deal with the Soviet Union, the US military stationed in Japan has long formulated a variety of plans, and the current No. 3 plan is a plan for deterring the Soviet Union in the Vladivostok region!

After the president's authorization, the war machine of the US military stationed in Japan was quickly set into motion.

644 kilometers northeast of Tokyo, Misawa City, Aomori Prefecture, at the northern tip of Honshu Island, Misawa Base.

It was originally just a remote and backward small village, before World War II, the islanders built a coastal railway and set up a station here, Misawa began to move towards modern civilization, and later, the island navy built a military base here, and gradually developed into a military center in the northern part of the island. After World War II, the United States set up the Misawa base here, which became the most important military base for the United States to balance the Soviet Far East due to its suitable geographical location, and it was also a military base for reconnaissance of Soviet electronic intelligence, from which the EP-3 took off.

In the hangar, one fighter after another is undergoing maintenance before the attack.

The pointed nose is a little sagging, and behind it is a series of two-seater cabins, with huge air intakes on both sides, almost all the way to the rear, turning into two chrysanthemums, the top of the chrysanthemums, and the tail extends backwards, especially the horizontal tails on both sides, which are folded downward, and the vertical tail is surprisingly wide, and it doesn't look like any beauty, but it looks like a clown.

Even the Americans thought that this fighter was not very beautiful, so they gave it the nickname of a ghost.

This kind of fighter is the main force of the second-generation fighter of the United States, the F-4 ghost! First of all, it was designed as a carrier-based aircraft, so all fighters were two-seaters, and later, the US Air Force felt that it was good, and it was also equipped with a large number of aircraft, becoming a famous second-generation aircraft in the United States.

At this time, the third-generation aircraft of the US Air Force are still in the early stage, and the F-15, which has flaunted its prowess in later generations, has just been delivered to the first batch of the US Air Force, and it is simply impossible to equip the US military stationed in Japan, and the F-16 fighter, which is the largest in production, has not yet flown the prototype, and it is still early to equip the troops, and the main force of the US Air Force is these F-4 fighters.

Now, these fighters, the 35th Fighter Squadron of the 13th Fighter Wing of the US 5th Air Force stationed at the Misawa base, all F-4 fighters, are preparing for sortie, the hangar is brightly lit, the trailer is moving missiles back and forth, according to the air superiority method, four AIM-7 Sparrow missiles and one auxiliary fuel tank will be mounted under the belly, and on the wings on both sides, four AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles will be mounted, which is also a standard air combat mount.

The entire base is mobilized, the flight preparation room is brightly lit, and the American pilots are conducting tactical analysis in preparation for tomorrow morning's sortie.

The pilots were scrappy, they all already knew that an EP-3 electronic reconnaissance plane that took off from this base was coerced by the Soviets and flew to the Soviets' air base!

This made them indignant, and at the height of the Cold War, they were extremely disgusted with the Soviets, who in their eyes were the devil from the Arctic.

"Be careful, we want to put maximum pressure on the Soviets, but not the first to fire." The Wing Captain said to his men.
