Long Yun's guess was not far from the colonel's thoughts.

Next, according to the information obtained by the command center, Kapushkin satisfied the curiosity of Comrade Lieutenant Admiral, and he told Comrade Sù Viktor Rezenov that the American "Hornet" fleet launched an attack on the Red Navy, although there were Su-27K interceptions in the air, but the number of incoming enemy planes was large, as a result of which a Type 1164 missile cruiser and two destroyers of the surface battle group were damaged by the attack, among which the Type 956 destroyer "Agile" was damaged and was afraid that it would inevitably sink.

In addition, in the underwater battle in the waters northeast of the fleet, a Type 971 attack nuclear submarine of the Pacific Fleet lost contact after sending an emergency communication, and the information obtained by the fleet was incomplete, and it was predicted that the boat had sunk in the encounter.

At present, a large Type 1155 antisubmarine ship of the Red Navy's surface battle group, as well as the Ka-27 helicopter sent by the "Tbilisi," are all carrying out high-intensity antisubmarine operations in the sea area where the submarine has lost contact, and the non-anti-submarine large combat ships are all retreating.

A battle between sea and air, which lasted all day, and after a fierce battle, the losses of the Soviet Union side were about the same.

While listening to the colonel's narration, Long Yun calculated in his heart that the Pacific Fleet of the Red Navy had lost a total of one missile cruiser and four missile destroyers/large anti-submarine ships in the current battle, although only one Type 956 might have really sunk, but considering the level of warship manufacturing and maintenance in the Soviet Far East, the battle damage of a total of five large ships is still a large number. It is also not possible to replenish it in a short period of time.

But. Even if it's a loss of this kind of process. Long Yun, who participated in the whole battle, also felt "acceptable".

He has no way of knowing what the situation of the US Navy fleet hundreds of nautical miles away is, but according to the penetration of the Tu-22M3 in the first stage and the battle in the sky, roughly calculated, the losses of the Americans' surface ships will only be more than those of the Red Navy, and the carrier-based aviation will be beaten by him with one hand.

The loss of weapons and equipment was very severe, coupled with the fact that an ace elite like Sean Phelps folded his wings in the blue sky, and the exchange ratio of the battle was certainly not good for the Americans.

And that's not all. Talking to Colonel Kapushkin for a while, it is obvious that the two have similar views on this battle, even if the Red Navy loses more in the battle, as long as it launches an effective attack and ignites the American aircraft carriers, it can still be regarded as achieving the goal of the campaign:

"Yes, Comrade Lieutenant General!

The military minions of imperialism, as I see it, are now only the navy; Just like in today's battle, the efforts of you, and all the comrades of the fleet, have beaten the Americans to a loss! We can afford a terrible loss. The Yankees can't afford to lose, and the country is already a little crumbling. What do you say? ”

"Hey, almost!

Crumbling may not necessarily, but you have a point. ”

After two air battles in one day, Long Yun was still quite energetic, he discussed with the colonel for a while, and also met with the captain, political commissar and other commanders of the "Varyag" in the combat command room, and confirmed that the large-scale military operation had ended, and the Red Navy was about to return to the ship, so he returned to the exclusive cabin on the ship, took a shower and prepared to rest.

Different from the general room on the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser, there is obviously a separate shower room in the cabin prepared for special personnel, standing under the shower head and letting the hot water pour over the body, Long Yun relaxed and bathed, while feeling the slow ups and downs of the huge battleship under his feet, this feeling is still a bit novel, after all, he has never been on such a huge battleship, and only when he got on the ship did he know that the undulation of the ship's wave-chasing dù is not affected by the displacement, the larger the ship, the longer the swing period, but it will still shake, It's just that it's not easy to get seasick.

After a fierce battle in the air and sea as Viktor Rezenov, the young man who has returned to the "Varyag" in good looks is still a little excited.

As a pilot in the sky, although he did not see the burning US warships on the sea with his own eyes, it is not difficult to imagine the scene of a large group of anti-ship missiles attacking intensively and hitting the target and exploding violently.

In the face of the swarming Kh-15, it is conceivable that the aircraft carriers of the Americans will not have such good luck against the sky, and three heavy aircraft carriers, how to say that they will lose at least one!

This kind of speculation does not need to wait for the Red Navy's reconnaissance planes or Soviet military reconnaissance satellites to confirm it, and it can be seen from the fact that the Americans retreated immediately after the first battle: if it had not been for a baptism of the fleet and a great weakening of the carrier-based aviation, what would the arrogant Yankees do?

The outcome of the battlefield is not yet clear, but when it comes to the contest at the national level, the Red Empire is already in control.

Compared with the Red Navy, which has no ideological baggage and is lightly armed with a large number of heavy anti-ship missiles, the Americans who have superior naval and air forces are really walking heavily, and as a result, the more they suffer from gains and losses, the easier it is to carry their luck, and the U.S. Navy, which is attacking in a big way, does not have a psychological advantage, and it is not surprising that it fails.

Although it is said that Viktor Rezenov made an outstanding contribution to this victory, as far as Long Yun thinks, even if he did not participate in this far-sea battle, the losses of the Red Navy side may be much heavier, but the goal of the battle can still be achieved, the difference is only how much blood and lives of the defenders of the Red Empire will be paid.

One person can rewrite the course of the war, even if he is as strong as Long Yun, he can't do it.

However, did this protracted world war have a predestined trajectory from the beginning......

While showering and fugue, the young man who returned from the fierce battle still let his mind run wild in the huge steel castle; At the same moment, a wrecked fleet hundreds of nautical miles away, on the CVN-71 "Theodore Roosevelt", which was billowed with smoke, was also a group of people who were learning from the pain and were silent in the face of the charts.

In one day, two heavy anti-ship missile attacks, and now all the surviving warships were gathered to retreat at full speed, William Pratt, the vice admiral who was responsible for the command of this battle, sat on his chair without saying a word, and the ticking sound of the command and control equipment next to him, and the busy voice of the soldiers, the general was not immersed in the terrible memories of a fiasco, but was thinking about another thing, and when he returned to Hawaii and met his colleagues at USPACOM, How do you explain all this?

Lead a huge fleet to the sea, discover the traces of the Russians, and then a tragic sea and air scuffle, and finally lose, right?

The process, summed up seems to be extremely concise, but in any case, I don't believe that the guys in the Pentagon and Washington will agree with this statement, Vice Admiral Pratt prefers to say this, because the sudden appearance of the Russian "sickle" has panicked the boys of the US Navy, so that's why-

Hmph, speaking of which, aren't they all the same thing?

The hundred-year dignity of the United States Navy, the deep pressure of the brain-dead politicians, these things, as a purely military Vice Admiral, did not want to think too much, once upon a time he had only the battle and the victory that would inevitably follow, and it was not until today that he fled to Honolulu with a reduced three-tenths of the number of men and a disgraced fleet, that he realized how difficult the polar bear in the East was to deal with, and it was completely different from any opponent that the United States had encountered before.

The shoddy long-range bombers, the bulky and outdated blue-gray ships, and the long-endurance manned torpedoes that are not slippery and can hear movement on the other side of the ocean as soon as they leave the port, have always been able to toss some non-mainstream naval weapons, but I didn't expect that the Russian navy also has this kind of combat capability!

Although the "scythe" in the sky was unexpected, but now that I think about it, maybe the United States was defeated by being too close to the coastline, and as a result, it was broken through by the "backfire" one after another?

Leading a broken fleet to break away at high speed, the three-carrier battle group at the time of the expedition has lost one CV, two CG and two DDGs, the vice admiral in a complicated mood is still meditating, and Rear Admiral Stanley Cooper, who is standing in front of the radar console next to him, is also frowning, but unlike Pratt's thoughts, he is very dissatisfied with the U.S. Navy fleet aviation in this battle, Cooper is now more reflecting, he is thinking about the fleet commander's battle vision and deployment.

Defeat is, of course, hated by any commander.

However, if you have a good deck of cards in your hand and play like this, can you blame the "sickle" for all the reasons......

Caught in reflection by the tragic defeat, Rear Admiral Cooper's perspective was different from that of William Pratt, who was worried about his future, and he now felt that the United States aircraft carrier battle group was in a problem with its strategy, or rather, it seemed that it was ambitious to strike the Russian fleet, but in fact, from the moment the two sides faced off in the Pacific Northwest, the U.S. Navy was disoriented, and even had a slight feeling of being led by the nose by the enemy.

For strategic reasons, the U.S. Navy, which had relied on its impregnable defenses, chose to approach the Soviet coastline, and was immediately attacked by the Red Navy's Tu-22M3 bombers. (To be continued......)
