543, there is no chance
The scene was also a little quiet, this Saratoga was the parent, one of the strongest aircraft carriers in the USN Command, but now it was pressed and beaten by Lexington, which had just been born for only three days.
Hancock's brows twitched:
"Sarah's actual combat experience and technology are of course much higher than that of the newly-born Lex, but the performance of Sarah's aircraft is obviously much worse than that of Lex's plane.
"But this gap is not irreparable, and Sarah's skills are enough to make up for it.
"The real key problem is that Lex's radar is so strong that it can spot Sarah's plane in advance every time, every time it's the first to strike.
"Every time, Lex can rely on local numerical superiority to crush and constantly eat away at Sarah's search fleet."
Missouri frowned and said:
"Then you mean, Sara will lose this time? What should I do now? Can you concentrate the planes so they don't get broken by the Lex? ”
Hancock shook his head:
"Of course you can, but the problem is, Sara hasn't found Lex's body yet.
"If you centralize your own planes now, the choice is entirely up to Lex.
"Lex has the option to go to an aerial showdown with Saratoga, and she still has the upper hand.
"Lex can also ignore these concentrated planes for a while and go around to find Sarah's body.
"The planes are concentrated outside, the ontology defense is insufficient, and once it is launched, it will almost certainly lose.
And if Sara doesn't concentrate on the group, it will continue to be eaten away by Lex.
All in all, Lex's reconnaissance plane is so strong that she can almost look down on the whole field, and Sara will be very passive no matter what she does.
"If the stalemate continues, you will definitely lose, and the only way to win is to fight against the water.
"Since the reconnaissance is suppressed, then don't investigate, recover all the planes, concentrate near the main body, prevent being stolen, and fight a decisive battle at the doorstep.
"In the decisive battle at home, if you lose, the exercise will naturally be lost, and if you win and gain air supremacy, you will have the opportunity to start a counterattack."
Missouri listened and nodded slightly:
"It seems that this is the only way to do this, and with Sarah's experience, I should be able to think of this way......"
Others also thought that Saratoga would do exactly what Hancock said, and concentrate on the planes to fight against the water.
But the reality is that Saratoga has not changed its strategy.
It seems that they have not discovered at all that their own reconnaissance planes and fighters are being wiped out by Lexington one by one.
And they are constantly putting more planes and going out separately to search the sea area.
When Lexington's planes attacked, they were still very stubborn in the fight.
However, because of the disadvantages of performance, quantity, and information, it was natural that wave after wave of Saratoga's aircraft were successively encircled and eliminated by Lexington.
Saratoga itself has fewer and fewer planes, more than sixty planes, and slowly less than thirty remaining, while Lexington's planes have lost only single digits.
Missouri looked at the current situation and asked Hancock with an incredulous expression:
"Wave after wave of death, Sara is completely adding fuel, so sooner or later she will lose, no, look at the comparison of numbers, Sara has no chance to win now, what the hell is she doing?"
Hancock thought of a possibility, and his eyelids began to beat uncontrollably:
"I ...... I seem to get ......."
Missouri immediately asked:
"Got what?"
Hancock laughed dryly and said:
"Saratoga didn't intend to win, and she didn't intend to fight Lex......"
Missouri was stunned:
"Why? Why don't you want to win? Afraid of damaging Lex's self-confidence? That's not right, even if she uses all her strength, she will probably be beaten by Lex! ”
On the battlefield, Saratoga is still organizing a new reconnaissance team and continues to go out to refuel.
Lexington, however, slowed down its offensive and reported to Kunlun via the data link:
"Sister Kunlun, Saratoga may not be prepared to confront me head-on at all, and the purpose of the confrontation exercise she proposed is probably to simply collect information about our aircraft.
"A small number of air battles, close observation, our aircraft's climbing, diving, level flight, circling, fighting and other aspects of performance, she should have almost touched.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think until now, should I stop fighting?"
Kunlun smiled and shook his head and said:
"It doesn't matter, they can get this information sooner or later, it's impossible to hide it, so you don't have to worry about these little cleverness, just play normally."
Lexington hesitated for a moment, then nodded slowly:
"I see...... Then I'll end the fight as soon as possible......"
After Lexington finished speaking, the remaining planes were directly concentrated, leaving a small number to be responsible for defensive vigilance, and most of the aircraft group pounced in one direction together.
Hancock gave Missouri an analysis of the battlefield, which was identical to Lexington's speculation.
After listening to this, it dawned on Missouri that Saratoga didn't want to win at all.
What she really wanted to do should have been basically successful by now.
Thinking of this, Missouri couldn't help but smile:
"Is it Saratoga......
Hancock nodded slightly, and then the two saw Lexington's movements:
"Oh no, Lex is attacking, Sarah's body may have been exposed......"
Missouri was stunned for a moment:
"It should be...... But now Sara doesn't have a chance......"
Hancock nodded, not speaking.
Lexington had already found Saratoga's body before, but he knew that the other party was the head of the family, and his combat experience was definitely not comparable to his own.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, Lexington has not directly attacked Saratoga's main body, but is preparing to destroy Saratoga's fleet as much as possible.
After making sure that you are absolutely safe, you can attack the Saratoga itself.
And Saratoga's purpose is to consume, and Lexington's choice can be said to be right in the middle.
Now that Lexington understood, he immediately changed his strategy, and more than forty silver foxes pounced on Saratoga's body together.
There were less than thirty planes left in Saratoga, and more than half were still out selling their heads to lure Lexington's planes.
Only a cougar in his early teens patrolled the sky above the main body.
Lexington had almost a threefold numerical advantage, and with AWACS guidance given the opportunity to strike first, Saratoga's alert fleet was almost on the verge of collapse.
More than a dozen Lexington attack planes, after entering the attack position, dropped more than 30 guided bombs in the air, and directly hit five 1,000-kilogram bombs in the first round.
The attack aircraft carried exercise shells, there was no charge, and the Saratoga body was not injured.
But according to the rules, Saratoga was awarded a loss by referee Kunlun on the spot.
The battle on the spot has been live-streamed, and everyone has seen the process of the attack, and the others have no opinion on the result of this referee at all.
Kunlun used a helicopter to pick Saratoga and Lexington back to shore, and Saratoga went up and hugged Lexington when they met.
Lexington was thinking about Saratoga's purpose, but now he was a little unhappy:
"You know the performance of my plane now......
Saratoga smiled and said:
"Don't be angry, I'm not just here to observe your plane, I'm also trying to make sure if they're really nice to you, and now I'm basically relieved."
