In the face of the threat posed by the US Navy's carrier-based aircraft, the Red Navy's warships will not rashly approach the US aircraft carrier battle group without being able to withstand the enemy's air attack, and can only send some submarines, reconnaissance planes, and outpost ships to reconnoiter and harass the US military.

Of course, this is also because there is no need to rush in, anyway, it is the Americans who take the initiative to invite the war.

On the other hand, on the US Navy's side, the KGB has obtained information that the movement of the US aircraft carrier battle group is not resolute at all, and the US warship formation, which is afraid of the threat of the Red Navy's anti-ship platform, does not dare to rashly move westward; in the past few days, there has been constant friction between the two sides, and several encounters have been fought, but neither side has suffered losses on its main warships, and the battle situation seems to have entered a state of tormenting stalemate.

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

After figuring out the current situation and referring to the instructions of the Far East Theater Command, Long Yun fully understood the meaning, and he knew that there would be no substantive breakthrough in the confrontation in the Pacific Ocean in which one side relied on carrier-based fighters and the other side relied on anti-ship missiles, and in order to break this deadlock, it would require the intervention of some kind of external force.

After hurriedly flipping through all the materials, the intelligence and analysis reports in front of me were simply dazzling, and the staff officers of the General Headquarters did not leave everything to the comrades of the lieutenant general to do their own work, but gave a detailed plan, of course, the contents of which Long Yun probably knew that now, the operational command room of the headquarters in distant Irkutsk, the air bases all over the Far Eastern Front, and perhaps the desk of the headquarters in Moscow, thousands of miles away, are waiting for one of his decisions.

When to go. Let "Ruslan" fly where to go. How to launch a thunderous attack on the enemies of the oceans!

"Comrades. ――Are you ready? ”

About an hour later, Long Yun, who had finished thinking, left the preparation room, patted the officer's regular uniform on his body, buttoned up the large-brimmed hat that he rarely weared, and asked Valentina, who was accompanying him, to tidy up his appearance, and then walked through the short corridor of the cabin, and stood face to face with more than a dozen An-124B transport aircraft crews, project leaders, and pilots.

"From now on, in accordance with the instructions of the General Command of the Theater of Operations. All personnel involved in the operation terminated external communication, and we maintained radio silence, and after liftoff, we entered the battlefield according to the number of the lower chain of the 'Cosmos' tactical communications satellite to carry out special operations. So, if there is nothing wrong with everyone," as he spoke, he raised his hand to take off the big-brimmed hat that he was not used to, Long Yun looked at the soldiers in front of him who looked attentive and clearly a little excited, and he waved his hand to the east quite forcefully:

"Forward, Davarishi!

Cheer up. Lads, we'll be off in ten minutes. ”

After talking about a very brief pre-war mobilization with no connotation. Long Yun, who has superpowers, does not need to use words, but he can use emotions to motivate the participants of the action, he has already swept through the consciousness activities of these comrades-in-arms, knowing that they are all in good shape, and there is not a single American spy who does not have long eyes.

After doing this, seeing everyone standing up and saluting and leaving quickly, there was a slow footstep in the ears of the young man who returned the salute, and he turned his head to see Valentina Kurtonova walking behind him, this young detective in a smart outfit, obviously also prepared to set off, but Long Yun did not plan to let her also take the "Ruslan", after all, once the transport plane took off, there would be no task to do in terms of security, and it was inappropriate to let a lady participate in such a risky military operation, even if it was a KGB agent.

"What? Don't let me go?

But, Victor, isn't my duty to—"

"Oh, of course I know the duty; However, as you can see, the crew and engineers on the Ruslan are all good, and the committee has screened them one by one, haven't they?

There's no danger here, so you don't have to worry too much about me. ”

While talking casually, he inadvertently felt the agent's thinking activities, and his concern for Valentina, Long Yun was of course very grateful in his heart, but on the surface, he was too kind, he saw that there was no one left and right, so he took the detective's hand and walked to the front door of the fuselage, seeing that the beautiful detective with a little disappointment on his face still didn't want to take a step, on a whim, he leaned into Valentina's ear and whispered:

"Valya, wait for me here, you can't concentrate on the war on the plane, do you understand?"

“……？

Well, then, you should be busy~"

Hearing the man's whisper, she felt a little spring for a while, and felt Victor's hand pat on her buttocks, and the young detective's face was hot in an instant, she glanced at him a few times with a shy look, and bit her lip and whispered a soft instruction, and reluctantly walked through the hatch and walked down the boarding stairs.

Just did something out of the ordinary, seeing Valentina get off the plane and leave, Long Yun waved to the detectives who were looking back frequently at the hatch, but he felt a little strange in his heart.

Ah, the phrase "I can't concentrate on fighting" is actually a true saying, but in Valya's it will definitely be translated into something else, is it really okay to say that......

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

Seeing that it was almost time to leave, Long Yun took out the wireless walkie-talkie he had obtained before and called, confirming that "Ruslan" was about to take off, he looked up at a large expanse of the night sky above the lights of the base, stood for a moment in the cold night breeze blowing in front of him, took a deep breath, took two steps back, and motioned to the mechanic waiting next to 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 Eastern time, according to the instructions of Lieutenant General Viktor Rezenov, in the heavily guarded Khabarovsk airbase, the indicator light on the runway was faintly bright, and a behemoth carrying a gray-and-white painted fighter started its engine at the top of the runway, and the whistling sound began to echo all around, and the "Ruslan", which carried an important mission, released its brakes and began to accelerate, and soon flew off the ground with a long thunder and rushed into the vast night sky.

The transport plane had already departed, and a series of instructions about this combat operation naturally preceded the "Ruslan" operation.

On the day when the decisive battle broke out in the far sea, while Long Yun was waiting for the arrival of the An-124B transfer at the Khabarovsk base, the Red Navy's long-range bomber units located in several naval aviation bases in the Far East were also preparing for action, from Nikolaevsk to Kronotke on the Kamchatka Peninsula, a total of four long-range bomber regiments were ready for battle, and a series of slender Tu-22M3 bombers with sharp bows were on standby on the side of the runway.

With the action of the bomb trailer, the huge silver-white KSR-5 air-launched anti-ship missile was mounted under the belly and wing fixed section of the Tupolev bomber, or a group of six Kh-15 that could be contained in the bomb magazine.

This is the case with bombers, and the front-line troops of VVS escorting bomber groups have also entered a state of first-class combat readiness.

From the Far Eastern continent to the Northwest Pacific, the Red Navy's long-range bombers could take many assault routes, among which the route from the Kamchatka Peninsula had the best conditions and could go directly to the predetermined sea area, while the flight from the coast of the Sea of Okhotsk was less efficient, and it was necessary to fly over the entire sea area to enter the sky over the ocean.

In addition, taking off from Sakhalin, or a nearby airfield is also an option, the flight path of the bomber group is not far, compared to the Kamchatka direction, there is a greater suddenness of the battle, but this road is too close to Hokkaido, and the Tu-22M3 cruising at high altitude in groups is very conspicuous on the long-range warning radar, and it is conceivable that it will inevitably be intercepted by JASDF and the US fighter force stationed in Japan, and the escort pressure on the Red Air Force is also greater. The 237th Fighter Aviation Regiment of the VVS, which has distinguished itself, is responsible for this direction, and at the same time is equipped with a certain number of IL-78M tankers to operate in conjunction with the A-50 AWACS aircraft.

A large amount of air force on a long front, and now at the first order, bombers and escort planes are ready to go straight to the eastern sky to have a tough battle with the Americans.

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

Taking off from the Khabarovsk airbase and participating in the Red Navy's ocean-going battles was not actually the most planned option, but the current situation was urgent and there was no time to adjust.

Just look at the map, you know that the latitude of the city of Khabarovsk is not high, from here to the Pacific Ocean, the most economical straight route is almost attached to Hokkaido, although the "Ruslan" is equipped with a Su-27M2, but itself does not have any combat capability, so the real planning route will go around a big bend, from the north of Sakhalin Island about 800 kilometers from the northern tip of Hokkaido, the south side of this route is the airspace of VVS, PVO key patrol, in this way to ensure that Viktor* Lieutenant General Rezenov's journey was safe.

As a result, the distance shown on the map is only 3,000 kilometers, and the distance of the route increases by a third after the roundabout.

Although the road is very long, fortunately, for the An-124B, which is very large and has a fuel capacity of up to 230 tons, it can also carry close to 200 tons of aviation kerosene after carrying the Su-27M2. (To be continued......)
