While speaking, he raised his hand to assist with simple gestures, Long Yun looked around after finishing his thoughts, and saw that many people were staring at him in surprise, but he was already prepared in his heart, and then he heard an expected questioning voice:

"Well, - Lieutenant General Rezenov, of course there is some truth to what you say.

But frankly speaking, in the face of the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group, how can we 'have sufficient quantity and quality of carrier-based aviation forces'? We all know that the carrier-based aviation under the jurisdiction of the Red Navy, if such a 'cripple' as the Yak-38 is not counted, there are currently only a few carrier-based fighter regiments on three heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers, and in a short period of time, whether it is personnel or fighters, we are ......

Oh, comrade lieutenant general, are you - ready to apply for the transfer of the carrier-based aircraft regiments of the Northern Fleet so that 'Tbilisi' and 'Varyag' will strike at the limit of their carrying? ”

"'Limit state'? - Oh, of course not, that's not at all advisable, that's not what I think. ”

Originally, he walked forward along his own train of thought, but now when he heard the question raised by a Red Navy officer next to him, Long Yun shook his head and waved his hand again and again, of course he knew that this kind of mention was not feasible at all.

The carrier-based aircraft of the Soviet Navy, if you remove the vertical take-off and landing fighters with low combat effectiveness and the helicopters that do not undertake anti-aircraft missions at all, the number of fixed-wing carrier-based fighters is not much at all, even in the parallel world, judging from the information sent to the hand, the huge red empire has only four flight regiments equipped with Su-27K, with a total of about one hundred and forty aircraft.

Among them, the Pacific Fleet is under the jurisdiction of the 279th and 281st carrier-based aircraft flight regiments of the Red Naval Air Force. The Northern Fleet is under the jurisdiction of the 283rd and 285th Carrier-based Aircraft Flight Regiments. The first three units were stationed on the aircraft carriers "Tbilisi", "Varyag" and "Kremlin". The 285th Carrier-based Aircraft Flight Regiment, which was originally planned to carry the 1143.7 second ship "Almaty", is now temporarily used as a strategic reserve because the mother ship has not yet been completed.

The naval officer who asked the question just now should be referring to the 285th Regiment, a carrier-based aircraft unit.

Since the Type 1143.7 "Almaty" is not yet in service, considering that the maximum number of Type 1143.5/6 ships carrying up to 48 Su-27Ks, if the 285th Carrier-based Aircraft Flying Regiment stationed in the Northern Fleet is also transferred to the Far East, it will be possible to add 12 fighters to each aircraft carrier, and the carrier-based aviation strength of the entire fleet will be increased by one regiment. This, of course, goes a long way towards a decisive battle at sea, but what is the problem with doing so?

For an aircraft carrier, the number of carrier-based aircraft can be more or less, but there must always be an upper limit.

Generally speaking, the number of aircraft carriers of an aircraft carrier can be divided into three states: "hangar loading", where all fighters are stored in the hangar, "maximum loading", where fighters are carried in the hangar and deck permanent parking area, and "extreme loading", except for one of the take-off / landing areas. Other areas are equipped with fighters; For the Type 1143.5/6 aircraft carriers, the Su-27K in these three states carry twenty-four, thirty-six and forty-eight aircraft, respectively. There is a big difference between the front and back, but when it comes to actual combat, you need to consider various situations, and the number of vehicles will be somewhat limited.

As far as the situation of the Red Navy is concerned, because the combat sea area is in a high-latitude sea area with a harsh climate, and the carrier-based aircraft are parked on the deck, which is very unfavorable to navigation safety, logistics support, and maintenance and overhaul, so unless it is a combat mission at sea, the "hangar carrying" method will be selected for the number of downloaded aircraft under normal circumstances.

Of course, if you want to compete with the US Navy, "hangar carrying" is definitely not conducive to combat effectiveness, and the two heavy aircraft-carrying cruisers will definitely adopt the "maximum carrying" mode, so that there will be a full complement of thirty-six Su-27Ks available.

If we feel that this is not enough, we must go further on this basis, and the Type 1143.5/6 ship with a total length of more than 300 meters cannot be stuffed with more carrier-based fighters, and the extra fighters can only "migrate back and forth" like migratory birds: first stop in the landing area on the deck, vacate the take-off area to release the fighters, and after performing the mission, they will stop in the take-off area in turn when returning to land, and after the last fighter is recovered, all the other places on the deck will be full of fighters except for a landing runway.

Such a way of carrying is the so-called "extreme loading", although it can meet the normal take-off and landing of fighters, the deck scheduling work is extremely troublesome.

Not only that, but the release and recovery of carrier-based aircraft can only be chosen, and the performance in actual combat has added many variables.

It is precisely for this reason that aircraft carriers in various countries in the world rarely use this method to carry fighters to sortie, unless they are transporting carrier-based aircraft between two places or carrying out zero-risk combat missions, and the situation that the Pacific Fleet has to deal with is obviously much harsher than this; in the face of the powerful US Navy aircraft carrier battle group, the Red Navy must frequently release and recover fighters to maintain the air defense line, and the "extreme carrying" obviously cannot meet this requirement.

Regarding the way carrier-based aircraft is carried, most of the people present are very clear, Long Yun didn't bother to speak, he directly put forward a bold idea of his own:

"My construction is not to want the 'heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser' to carry more fighters, in the face of the US Navy, the 'extreme loading' will not allow the Red Navy to gain an advantage in the number of fighters, right? After thinking about it for a while, my current thinking now is that if we want to fight a decisive battle with the Americans in the open sea, our Red Air Force, or indeed myself, also hopes to play some role in it. ”

"You, ...... yourself? Comrade Rezenov, do you mean-"

Facing the surprised eyes of his colleagues, Long Yun nodded to everyone present, and his tone was still so calm:

"Yes, myself.

Although I still need to make some preparations, I still plan to write an application and submit it, hoping to participate in the ocean-going battles of the Red Navy! -- If a qiēshun lì can be made. ”

……

As night fell, the sky was full of stars, and a secret meeting at the base on the outskirts of Irkutsk finally ended, and the participants put on heavy dà clothes, walked through the corridors, and left in their own special cars.

The long meeting was finally over, but for Long Yun, it should have been the beginning of a return trip, but when he put on his woolen coat and walked out of the main entrance of the building, he changed his mind again, and did not rush back to the Khabarovsk forward base, but packed his things and got into a jeep and went to IAPO and the Irkutsk aviation complex to do some business.

This time he came to Irkutsk and visited the IAPO again on an impromptu basis, and Long Yun's original plan was to return to the front line as much as possible and continue his tense battle of "settling JASDF in ten days"; However, it is not too early to take a look at the watch, and more importantly, he learned a lot of new information at the meeting, and now he is not in a hurry to go back to the front line to slaughter the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force, but to take this opportunity to visit Mikhail Simonov and Sergei Koneshev, chief engineers of the Sukhoi Design Bureau, on the one hand, to implement the supporting support work of the Su-27M2 fighter, and on the other hand, to take a good rest, sort out his thoughts by the way, and figure out what the most important thing to do next.

The overall pattern of the Far Eastern Theater, coupled with the "dead city" investigation that had come to an end before, there were so many things in the parallel world, and the clues were intertwined, which made Long Yun, who was actually wearing many hats, feel a little tired of running for his life.

In the past, when he was really busy, he could also end the crossing and go back to the peaceful real world to rest for a while.

However, now, when he thinks of the Middle East civil war experienced in the real world, the mysterious "Harriff" whose whereabouts are unknown, the inexplicable connection between the two worlds, and even his own bizarre background, the young man sitting in the UAZ-469 Jeepri feels like a mouse that has fallen into a noodle bowl, obviously choked by all these things, no matter how hard he tries to break free, he can only roll in vain in the mystery with no end in sight.

Leave nothing else to do for the time being, Long Yun thought about the situation before this crossing, in the real world, he was flying to Urumqi on a Boeing 757, and he also clarified his thoughts during the journey, and decided that finding "Harif" or "Mysterious Pilot" was the key to solving the puzzle; In the parallel world, there is no doubt that the guy he is looking for is the American pilot he encountered in the "dead city", but now this matter can only be put aside for the time being.

Obviously, before the general situation in the Far East was decided, it was impossible for Viktor Rezenov to leave his post and go to investigate.

Well, then let's go all out and finish this battle in the Far East!

Long Yun can still clearly remember the puzzled eyes of everyone present: after listening to his account, he seemed to think that this mention was not feasible at all, but due to Viktor Rezenov's prominent status and inconvenience, all his colleagues sat there and kept silent, and the scene was so embarrassing and embarrassing for a while, even if he explained it repeatedly, it could not dispel the many concerns of the commanders and staff officers.

But isn't it, looking forward to a decisive battle on the far sea that will break out sooner or later, the lieutenant general of the aviation unit from the Red Air Force said, "I hope to play a role in it", what is the matter?

Is this vice admiral of the air force really treating an aircraft carrier as a floating airfield on the sea, and the so-called "participating in operations" means driving a landline to take off from an aircraft carrier, then destroying a large number of enemy planes as if fighting an ordinary air battle, and finally easily driving the aircraft back to the sea and landing on the aircraft carrier?

It seems that everything is reasonable, but everyone present knows that the flight control of carrier-based aircraft is very different from that of land-based fighters, and it cannot be done in a short period of training. (To be continued......)
