Chapter 1137 Anti-ship System
However, on the other hand, the scene of "ocean decisive battle" is sometimes not avoided if you want to avoid it.
Compared with Long Yun, who was stuck in thinking and couldn't keep up with the rhythm, the other people present were senior commanders and staff officers from various military districts in the Far East, even if they were not from the high-level command organs of the Red Navy, they could understand the results of the deduction, but the conclusion of "inevitable failure" made the atmosphere a little dull, and some officers looked left and right with solemn faces, and met the eyes of their naval colleagues in dark blue uniforms.
Obviously, the results of such an exercise are difficult to satisfy the commanders and staff officers present.
After all, the god of war has always favored only the brave, and before the war has even started, he will get a judgment of defeat before the war starts.
However, in the face of the deduction conclusions of the staff department, all those present could not but admit that the human factor in modern warfare still exists, but it is no longer reflected in "heroism and fearlessness"; If we are not fully prepared to produce advanced weapons and equipment that are sufficient to defeat our opponents, and use them flexibly with appropriate strategies and tactics, we will not be able to defeat imperialism with enthusiasm alone.
All in all, the conclusion of the deduction is roughly the same, and there may be a little discrepancy in the details, but the overall direction should be correct.
After a period of narration, after spending so much time in the non-smoking "combat rehearsal room", the host announced a temporary break. Smoke-addicted attendees were allowed to take a breather in the lounge. At the same time, we can also discuss and consult with each other. Prepare for the rest of the campaign.
Seeing that the participants got up one after another, and they also came out of the battle deduction room to move their muscles, Long Yun, who was wearing a flight suit, looked quite eye-catching among the commanders and staff officers in neat uniforms, not only the generals and officers who belonged to the same air force came over to shake hands and greet each other, but also colleagues from other branches of the military were also full of respect, from the corridor from the deduction room to the lounge, Long Yun greeted many people in a row, or stopped to say a few words, to such a scene. He was still a little unaccustomed to it, but he was relieved when he spied on everyone's thoughts through guò consciousness.
But isn't it, among the five major branches of the Soviet Union, if you want to say which one is the most likely to appear heroes, I'm afraid it must be VVS; Unlike the battle of thousands of troops on the ground, and also different from the battle of unity on the ocean, the battle in the sky, the role of the system and the team is of course very important, but the play of the individual is also the most important.
An ace pilot with outstanding combat achievements will be respected everywhere. Not to mention such a superkiller as Viktor Rezenov?
Since the outbreak of the Great War, he fought as Viktor Rezenov. Long Yun now has the record equivalent to two air wings, and if this does not give people a very intuitive impression, then in other words, the record of more than 160 downs means that he alone has swept away the entire air power of Portugal, a member of NATO, from fighter planes to training planes, and there are only more than 160 planes!
Such a terrifying record naturally made Viktor famous, and coupled with the unremitting efforts of the Soviet propaganda apparatus, it is probably not an exaggeration to describe the reaction of today's participants as "thunderous".
After chatting with the participants of the secret meeting for a while, when I approached the lounge, I saw a cloud and a mountain of fog inside, and Long Yun, who did not have a habit of smoking, did not enter, but paced in a well-ventilated underground corridor; Seeing that the number one ace was quite idle for the time being, Major General Stepan Zakharov, who had just greeted him, came out of the lounge, dusted off the smell of soot on his body, and took a bottle of mineral water for Viktor by the way.
"Comrade Rezenov, well, why don't you sit down in the lounge?"
"Oh - Comrade Major General! I don't smoke, hehe, let's just talk here, wouldn't it be good? ”
There is no need to look at the words, Long Yun also knows that Stepan Zakharov in front of him wants to discuss the situation in the Far East with him, and he doesn't have to worry about secrecy in the command anyway, so he and the major general strolled back and forth in the corridor with explosion-proof lights every few meters, while unscrewing the bottle and filling it with a few sips of water.
At the General Headquarters of the Far Eastern Theater of Operations, it is natural that alcohol will not be served in such a strict military place, but smokers can still have a good time smoking; After staying in the parallel world for so long, Long Yun's acceptance of things like Vokka is already quite high, and now he can only drink some light and tasteless mineral water for a while, and he still feels a little awkward, so he will see if there is any wine to drink at the hospitality table for a while.
"Then, Comrade Lieutenant General, you also think that the results of the deduction on the Far Eastern Sea are basically credible, right?"
"Almost; Of course, I don't know much about the navy, but just from the calculation of the number on paper, plus some geographical factors, the confrontation of the Red Navy is indeed not optimistic. ”
"Ah...... I think the same way, things are not easy to do. ”
Outside of the professional field of the two VVS generals, but also having a great impact on the situation in the Far East, the tall and strong Stepan Zakharov nodded to Long Yun.
A look at the extraordinary height of this major general of the air force shows that he was not born in a fighter unit, but a commander who rose from a bomber regiment, and now he is interested in discussing with Viktor Rezenov and putting forward some of his views on the maritime confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union:
"But you see, if from the perspective of our air force, submarines are put aside first, and the advantage of air power over surface ships is undoubted, then this deduction, I think there are some flaws in the authenticity, if we really want to have a decisive battle at sea with the Yankees, then we must also fight this battle within the combat radius of shore-based aviation, so the premise of this deduction is a bit strange, isn't it?"
"So...... Well, it's a little weird. ”
When it came to the "perspective of the Air Force", Long Yun agreed with Zakharov, knowing that what the major general's staff officer said was right.
Not only that, since he has crossed over from the real world, Long Yun can effortlessly consult the old materials in the parallel world, and has some basic understanding of the Soviet naval strategic thinking, weapons and equipment in the Cold War era; The predecessors of the Red Navy, represented by Admiral Sergei Gorshkov, did not simply imitate and pinned their hopes on the homogeneous competition of building aircraft carriers, but still prepared a complete set of huge long-range heavy anti-ship missile combat systems for the elimination of the US aircraft carrier battle group.
This set of combat systems, if we talk about it in a general way, it is not at all difficult to get a tome out, but in a nutshell, it is actually a "three-in-one" existence, which basically consists of three major types of missile launching platforms, namely, strategic bombers, surface missile ships, and cruise missile submarines, as heavy hammers, and eyes and ears in a reconnaissance and command network composed of camouflaged civilian ships, reconnaissance aircraft, reconnaissance submarines, patrol ships, and even military reconnaissance satellites.
In this system, it can be said that the various types of missile launch platforms in the "three-seat" position have their own characteristics.
First of all, the strategic bombers of the Soviet Air Force and Navy had the fastest reaction speed and the highest firepower intensity, but the engagement distance was limited by the range of the bombers, and generally speaking, they could only fight near the shore.
Secondly, surface missile ships can be put into combat in any sea area, but the density of firepower is relatively low, and the concealment is relatively poor.
The last category, cruise missile submarines carrying heavy anti-ship missiles, is a type of underwater anti-ship weapon system unique to the Red Navy, which has the best engagement distance and concealment among the three major platforms, but it does not have a little autonomous engagement capability, and its survivability in the face of anti-submarine measures is also very low.
All in all, in the face of the US Navy's aircraft carrier battle group, the Red Navy's three means of attack come from the air, surface and underwater, which are quite complex in their own right.
In addition, there are nominally many high-tech or low-tech reconnaissance means for the reconnaissance and command network in the "one-in-one" position, but if we want to discover the US warship formation in the vast ocean in a timely manner, only long-range reconnaissance planes and reconnaissance satellites are more reliable if we take into account the timeliness and coverage.
The situation of reconnaissance satellites is put aside for a moment, long-range reconnaissance planes naturally belong to air power, plus strategic bombers, so it seems that the Red Navy's anti-ship combat system relies on air power very high.
Long Yun is no stranger to this tactic by relying on Tu-22M3, Tu-95M and other long-range reconnaissance planes to discover the enemy fleet, and then dispatching a large number of long-range bombers into the launch position, launching a large number of anti-ship missiles in batches with the target information obtained from the reconnaissance network, and destroying the enemy by means of "saturation attack." Long Yun is no stranger to this tactic, and he also fully understands what Stepan Zakharov means: Since everything is carried out in the air, the deduction of "confronting the US aircraft carrier battle group in the open sea" is a little unrealistic. The commanders of the Red Navy are not a bunch of adventurers, who would leave a large shore-based air force without it, but go to the depths of the Pacific Ocean to fight the US Navy to the death?
Admitting that what Stepan Zakharov said was quite reasonable, Long Yun nodded at first, and he himself thought that the deduction of the theater headquarters was a little pessimistic.
But if the decisive battle takes place in the coastal waters of the Soviet Union, even if it is two or three thousand kilometers away from the coastline, as long as the strategic bombers painted with a big red five-pointed star appear over the battlefield and enter the attack position, the mission of the American aircraft carriers and the carrier-based aircraft on them will be declared over in this war.
