Chapter 1288: Psychological Pressure

However, he had his own keen observation of the battle situation, but the staff officer of the major general believed that this qiē was due to the mistakes of the U.S. Navy in the arrangement of the battle.

In the face of the Soviet Navy, a challenger whose strength is not weak, the first priority of the fleet of the United States is not to intercept the roaring "backfire", nor to strike at the surface warships of the Russians, or even to search for and annihilate the threat of nuclear submarines from underwater.

In the face of a strong attack, it is possible to directly intercept the opponent's spearhead, but the best way is to make the enemy unable to see the target.

Such a simple truth, the U.S. Navy, which was used by Washington to play the strategy of the Far East, failed to do it, or could not do it if it wanted to; Hell-bent on destroying the main force of the Pacific Fleet, this plan may have some hope of success, but once an accident is encountered, isn't the appearance of the "sickle" just that? It's going to be a mess of losing.

"Attack is the best defense" is true, but there are always conditions for any maxim to apply, and if the safety of one's own fleet cannot be guaranteed, even if the Russians are sent to the bottom of the sea, what can be done?

To put it bluntly, the politicians and generals of the United States are too confident in the U.S. Navy, but there are so many one-sided good things on the battlefield; of course, they can win the battle against Iraq and Libya without any injuries, but they still have this idea in the face of polar bears, which is really a bit overconfident.

A bitter defeat brought down the front-line commanders aboard the "Theodore Roosevelt".

Meanwhile. The news of the defeat was transmitted to the distance through electromagnetic waves. Inside the USPACOM command center in the Hawaiian Islands. The faces of the generals and staff members are also very ugly; With a declassified secret message in his hand, Vice Admiral Joseph Prueher, who is stationed at the core command structure of the US Pacific Command, frowned, and he was reluctant to face the complicated gaze of his colleagues, but just straightened out his military uniform and maintained the minimum majesty of a senior officer in the face of crisis.

The U.S. Navy, which originally had high hopes, was a huge three-aircraft carrier battle group, but was frantically slashed and killed by a "sickle" that suddenly appeared, such an ending. And let him, the deputy commander of the Seventh Fleet, say what?

Do you want to blame the young men in the Navy for being unfavorable in battle, just like their colleagues in the Air Force and Army, but these stinky guys must also know that in any kind of battle, as long as they see that "Caucasian Grim Reaper...... The Vice Admiral couldn't help but think of a private meeting with the old Admiral Mark Mitchell a few days ago, and now it seemed that the aged Mitchell was really vicious, and perhaps he had expected an encounter with the United States Navy. Is that so?

Mark Mitchell, after all, is the one who faced the "Grim Reaper" in the Caucasus......

While rambling to reminisce about the past. While chewing on this unexpected, but clearly foreseen defeat, Joseph Prueher stood for a long time before shaking his head with emotion and a very deflating sentence came out of his mouth:

"It seems that today's battle ...... God is not on our side. ”

……

The sky is getting dark, the sun is setting below the water antenna, and the long day is finally over.

Time passed, the brilliant sunset faded to the fiery red, and the darkness once again became the master of the vast ocean, and on a day full of blood and fire, the two maritime powerhouses of the United States Navy and the Red Navy, broke out in the vast northwest Pacific Ocean that lasted for eight hours.

Compared with the losses of one Project 1164 and four Project 956/1155 warships of the Red Navy, the casualties of the U.S. Navy can only be described as "heavy" -- the CV-67 "John F. Kennedy" was sunk after heavy damage, and the other two nuclear-powered heavy aircraft carriers were also damaged. Fortunately, it did not cause a fire on the whole ship, and the "George Washington" next to it ate two more SS-N-19 "shipwrecks" on the basis of the damage in the first stage.

If it were not for the all-out rescue efforts of the personnel on board the aircraft carrier, the two nuclear-powered giant ships would probably have lost power and drifted with the tide at sea, but in any case, damage to the ship's internal structure was unavoidable, and the once fully staffed three-aircraft carrier battle group had completely lost the ability of carrier-based aircraft to sort.

Ordering a retreat at the last moment, Vice Admiral William Pratt decided to save an entire fleet, otherwise if it remained stranded in the operational sea, if the scene of black smoke billowing from this aircraft carrier and the chaotic mess of escort warships was discovered by the Russians, and when Ivan's main fleet was completely in the missile launch position, and even the "sandbox", "shipwreck" with SS-N-22 and the like beckoned, the situation would be completely out of control.

In the face of the overwhelming number of anti-ship missiles, the U.S.Navy, whose integrated air defense combat system is on the verge of collapse, has completely lost its defensive capability, and even a warship equipped with the "Aegis" system is destined to become a pile of scrap metal in the face of a surprise attack by supersonic anti-ship missiles.

What's more, after two rounds of fleet air defense operations, there are not many "standard" missiles left in the MK41 units of the "Ticonderoga" and "Burke", and even ammunition has become a problem.

As night fell, the souls of the dead of the participants in the decisive battle on the far sea may have been left in the depths of the vast ocean.

The dead are gone, but the living are still on a mission, and they are still on the long road of war.

After transferring the survivors on the abandoned battleship, the two battle groups of the Red Navy's Pacific Fleet joined forces and returned overnight, preparing to return to their home port in the Far East for a temporary rest.

Unlike the American nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, the 1143.5/6 full-deck heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser has limited power self-sustaining, and the crew failure of the "Tbilisi" still exists, and the whole fleet maintains a speed of about 20 knots all the way to the west; Having defeated its old rival US Navy in the far seas, the fleet is not worried about the air threat for the time being, and now it is putting on a typical anti-submarine formation to guard against a sneak attack by the Americans' nuclear submarines.

After a mighty decisive battle, on the Red Navy battleships covered with stars and moons, the atmosphere was a little less nervous and more joyful of victory, and the sailors and commanders were celebrating the victory, of course, in a very simple way.

Before actually exiting the battlefield and returning to the port, the battle was not completely over, and the soldiers on the combat position were vigilantly watching for any abnormal movement on the radar and sonar, but unlike these comrades on night duty, the great hero of this battle, Viktor Rezenov, was sleeping in the cabin without any disturbance.

Later that day, flying back to the "Varyag" before dusk, Long Yun only met with the head of the operation, Anatoly Kapushkin, and then stayed in the cabin, not even in the officers' dining room, but was sent to the room by a special person; This arrangement, of course, was based on the KGB and the military's consistent need for security and secrecy, even though the participation of the White 20 was well known in the fleet, but next, Comrade Lieutenant General had to hide his whereabouts on the battleship, and externally he was declared to have taken off and flown to Petropavlovsk on the Kamchatka Peninsula.

Long Yun was a little skeptical of the necessity of this arrangement, but he had long been accustomed to the committee's almost neurotic security plan, so after dinner, he exercised his physical fitness in the room for a while, and then lay down comfortably to rest, leaving behind the tense battles of the day and the encounter with the U.S. Navy's number one trump card.

A painful and happy sea and air decisive battle, the ending of the contest, of course, has a great significance to the parallel world.

After this battle, Long Yun thought about it before going to bed and knew how violently the NATO bloc would experience, and perhaps the strategic shape of the entire world war would change because of it, but for him who came through, there was nothing thrilling about the whole battle process, and the only threat posed by the US military's number one ace, Sean Phelps, was driving an F-14D that was not good at dog fighting, and the "Bumblebee" around him was also like waste wood, and there was no suspense as a result.

Viktor Rezenov, the number one killer of VVS with many nicknames, is undoubtedly combative, and the psychological pressure on pilots in the Western world is also increasing.

In this situation, he had been facing JASDF for some time before, slashing and killing little devils who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, Long Yun didn't have much experience, and the air pilot with a tendon in his head seemed to be easy to maintain a strong fighting spirit, and rushed over with great efficiency to get a one-way ticket to Huangquan.

But now, having participated in a decisive battle between the Red Navy and the US Navy, and having shot down no less than 10 "Tomcats" and "Hornets", and recalling his combat experience during the day, Long Yun has noticed in particular how much pressure he and his White No. 20 Su-27M2K will add to the enemy.

Just appearing in the air, even if a single shot is fired in the Yin Owl Sweeping Formation, it can make the Americans tremble, Viktor Rezenov's prestige has reached this kind of journey, of course, there may be the sudden appearance of the An-124B, including the psychological game, Long Yun himself is not very good, he only feels that today's battle is really hearty, even the thrilling landing on the "Varyag".

However, the so-called "cannon braking" is such an exciting experience once!

A few more times, it's going to drive people crazy. (To be continued......)
