Based on this logic, if it is to be mined, the United States of America will certainly not care about the Japanese's feelings.

Let’s talk about tomorrow’s affairs tomorrow, let’s pass today’s difficulties first!

This is probably the case. Within a few days, with the unremitting efforts of the jmsdf submarine force, mines were laid on the west side of the Jinqing Strait and Zonggu Strait, turning into completely impassable death waterways.

In this operation, in order to curb the Red Navy, the Americans not only urged the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force to launch all their strength, but also secretly set up mines under the air pressure of the Russians, but also dispatched fighter bombers carrying mines. Anti-submarine patrol aircraft dropped mk65, mk67 and other sinking mines in the waters on the west side of the strait. The focus is on quantity rather than quality, and blocked two important waterways tightly.

Using mines to block the sea are generally a trick used by vulnerable countries to resist maritime threats. Now Americans do not blush at all when using them.

In the past, they always believed that their naval and air strength was invincible in the world. The Americans had not done much strategic defense before. Now, once they faced the threat of the Red Navy from the ocean, the military has searched through the list of huge arsenals, but failed to find an economical, cheap and practical sea-control weapon.

To curb the Russian fleet's pace of sailing towards the ocean, in terms of strategic encirclement, the combination of the US Navy, the combination of air force fighter jets and the AGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles is worrying in front of the Russians' sea of ​​aircraft. In contrast, the Japanese's "Type-88" shore-based anti-ship missile is a good choice, but the number is too small, and it is easy to be searched and annihilated when it loses air supremacy. After thinking about it, it still has to use mines. This is also impossible.

However, just look at the map and you will know that it is not enough to block the Red Navy's ocean-going route.

In the Soviet Far East, surrounded by Japanese archipelago, several southbound waterways are easily controlled by people. For this reason, the Red Navy has another Tatar Strait that can be used. As long as you enter the vast Sea of ​​Okhotsk and turn south across the Kuril Islands, you can enter the Pacific Ocean unimpeded. This route includes Sakhalin Island and the Kamchatka Peninsula as a shield. It is difficult for American fighter jets, surface ships and submarines to launch harassment.

Due to this roundabout route, due to its high alert and high alert, the Americans' response measures seemed to be without any other means except for setting up sonar arrays and strengthening the activities of nuclear submarines in the Kuril Islands.

Because of this, before a long-sea competition between the two camps really broke out, the anti-submarine and anti-submarine deportation confrontation in the southern waters of the Kamchatka Peninsula had begun, and the tug-of-war game between the two sides had been going on for many days. Faced with the US Navy, which had no aircraft carrier pressure and relied solely on surface ships and amphibious assault ships to fight, the US Navy, which had a heavy-duty aircraft cruiser of the USS Novorossiysk as its core, was also composed of the 1144 nuclear-powered missile cruiser "Fulongzhi", and was able to effectively expel US attack nuclear submarines.

It has the world's largest navy. Its nuclear submarine has repeatedly hit a wall in the ocean. Although the two sides have not yet fought on the high seas, the Americans still feel very cowardly.

However, with the arrival of the aircraft carrier battle group, the mysterious smoke waves on the ocean will soon turn into a shocking change.

Warships left the port one after another, and huge fleets of ships headed towards the depths of the ocean. The distance between the main forces of the two sides was still very far away, but the Red Navy deployed at the forefront had already had small-scale contact with the US Navy ships.

As the first barrier to block the Russian fleet, several Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines of the US Navy's Seventh Fleet deployed to the east of the Kuril Islands have been on standby. Their main task is not to fight head-on with the Russians, try to approach the fleet and use torpedoes to strike the enemy, but to cast a sparse underwater monitoring line in the northwest Pacific. After discovering the activities of the Russians' ships, they choose to use long-wave communication methods to send back intelligence.

It is of course a good idea to use nuclear submarines to detect enemy situations, but the Red Navy naturally cannot remain indifferent to these ambushers lurking on the edge of the ocean. Under the undulating sea surface, the confrontation and pursuit between the 971 attack nuclear submarine and "Los Angeles" is staged almost every moment.

Underwater battles in the dark and deep sea are completely different from other battlefields with wide vision. The situation of attack nuclear submarines deployed forward is actually extremely dangerous. While capturing any trace of enemy tracks, you must always be alert to the threat of ambushing in the dark. Even if you are lucky enough to catch the target's traces at once, the subsequent torpedo throwing is full of uncertainty. If both sides are unwilling to retreat, after a contest, there will always be a submarine that will fall into the seabed with turbulence. Often, even if you don't have time to send out the news, you will quietly sleep in the dark abyss of death.

Interception and breakthrough, reconnaissance and expulsion, the large area where the warships were about to pass, and there was no slight stir on the sea surface, and the underwater contests were already one after another.

The underwater contest in the northwest Pacific waters is not large in scale, but it is crucial to the subsequent ocean-going decisive battle.

At the same time, just as the Soviet Pacific Fleet sent a large number of ships to form the first and second sea and air combat groups across the Kuril Islands from different routes, a small-scale maritime encounter also broke out in the waters east of the Kamchatka Peninsula.

After leaving home port San Diego, unlike the John Kennedy aircraft carrier battle group that needed to be carried by the USS Theodore Roosevelt, after several consecutive days of full speed, the US Navy "George Washington" aircraft carrier battle group heading westward arrived in the waters of Atu Island, approaching the operating waters of the "Novorossiysk" heavy-carrier cruiser.

With hundreds of nautical miles apart, the enemy was first discovered with the e-2c early warning aircraft. The Americans first watched for a moment, and then quickly organized an air offensive. Several f/a-18e/f "Super Hornet" fighter jets carrying "harpoon" anti-ship missiles approached the Novorossiysk formation, and a small-scale exchange of fire occurred between the two sides. When they noticed the threat was approaching, they formed the only 1144 nuclear-powered missile cruiser of the Pacific Fleet and immediately entered the air defense formation. After successfully fighting a batch of air strikes, they did not choose to advance and turned to the southwest to break out of contact.

Before an encounter broke out, with the intelligence obtained in the previous stage, the third sea and air combat group where the Novorossiysk was located had learned about the general trend of the US Navy.

Now, since it has been encountered a wave of enemy air strikes, it means that the American aircraft carrier battle group is very close. The "Norossiysk" formation without fixed-wing carrier-based aircraft immediately retreated and moved to about 400 nautical miles south of Petropavlovsk. On the one hand, it ensures its own safety within the combat radius of the shore-based aviation force, and at the same time, it continues to maintain anti-submarine pressure in nearby waters to prevent US nuclear submarines from detouring from the north side of the Kuril Islands.

The ocean is so far away, Victor Rezenov, who is in the Far East, is not very clear yet.

Just after planning to participate in the decisive battle of the Red Navy, he received the battle situation report sent by the commander every day. Long Yun, who was flipping through his hand, would use his keen insight and thinking ability to try to analyze, and extract the direction of the Pacific Fleet's action from the vague reports.

This kind of thing is very difficult for a Red Air Force pilot. Fortunately, Long Yun comes from the real world, and his understanding of the Soviet Navy is not limited to a little experience in parallel worlds. Combined with the homework he did after the last time travel, we should roughly guess the Red Giant's long-sea strategy can still be done. Looking at the battle reports in the past two days, it mentioned a small-scale encounter in the waters east of the survey and the staff of the Red Navy's Pacific Fleet, he smelled a trace of the decisive battle of the US military's large-scale invasion.

Almost a month has passed since the war in the Far East. Since the US Navy, which had previously been dormant at the large rear base, was deployed, it would probably take big moves.

Just look at the current situation. Anyone who is concerned about the war can probably guess that if the war is allowed to continue like this, NATO will sooner or later collapse and will be unable to withstand the Soviet air offensive. If we want to save the crisis, the joining of u.s.navy is almost inevitable. It can maneuver at any time in the vast ocean and actively choose the time and location of the aircraft carrier battle group that can add new pressure in the Far East. In order to defend against the harassment threat of these mobile forces, the Red Empire will inevitably need to invest a considerable amount of troops.

Of course, this assumption must have a prerequisite, that is, to basically eliminate the Soviet maritime forces in the Far East.

The so-called battle for maritime power can maintain the current balance of power in the Far East and even make breakthroughs on this basis. For the strong US Navy, the strategic situation will be much more favorable than the current ones. In this way, the Americans will be ready to act on the ocean and intend to provoke a decisive battle, and the motivation will be easy to understand.

Since this is the idea, Long Yun's combat preparations have never been delayed after taking off the air to fight every day.

It sounds like a risky thing to take an an-124b transport plane to the ocean. For this reason, relevant institutions have been conducting coordinated drills between fighter jets and carriers, and must prepare everything well.
