Chapter 1211 Two battle groups

Major Nasimov's suggestion was exactly what Long Yun wanted to do now.

Although he was the proposer of this plan, he really entered the "Ruslan" transport aircraft and saw the excellent work of the project team. Long Yun nodded frequently with appreciation along the way. He walked into the compartment and looked around. He saw that this small compartment was like other "rooms". Because there was no suspended ceiling, the ceiling was directly the top bulkhead with the crisscrossed beams of the transport aircraft.

In addition, there is another metal ladder fixed at the bottom. When you look up, you will see that next to a very complex set of actuators, there seems to be a hatch-shaped structure.

When he saw the newly added cabin door in the middle and back section of the back of the "Ruslan" aircraft, he had a very intuitive understanding of the situation introduced by the major. Next, Long Yun tried to climb up and go through the operation process, and found that it was not difficult to board the plane. Of course, it might be more troublesome to wait for the plane to fly, but since the test pilots have successfully completed it more than once, he should be able to enter the landline smoothly.

It would be a bit too hard to take an an-124b attack, if you just carry a su-27m2 on the back of the plane and the pilot spends a long journey to the war zone in the cockpit.

After experimenting with the boarding process, I felt that the modification of this device was quite good. Long Yun got off the ladder and said a few words to Major Nasimov. An electric ringtone rang in the cabin. A KGB agent accompanied him came to report that the flight of "Ruslan" was ready, and the latest order was also sent:

"Lieutenant General, the headquarters has just sent a package of action plans. Look. When will we attack?"

"Why...--The plan didn't explain in detail?"

As the planner of this secret operation, Long Yun had not yet fully entered the state at the beginning. He looked at the person who came to report for a few seconds before realizing that he was now the passenger and supreme commander of the an-124b "Ruslan": For the Lieutenant General of Victor Rezenov Air Force, the combat orders were issued directly to him. As for the specific tactical arrangements, he needed to make an idea based on the situation of the war.

Since this is the case, Long Yun, who had reacted, soon realized that when the battle was about to be fought, the plan sent by the headquarters would naturally no longer be just an vague description. He needed to study it carefully:

"Okay, it's 8:40 p.m. The headquarters' plan is, I need to understand the combat process first."

Although things were in a hurry, I had already made all preparations for attacks and had a package of combat plans to participate in the decisive battle of the far sea. Now I need to make a decision alone. Long Yun, who was worried, realized how important his responsibility was. He quickly called Valentine to get the information and ran to the temporary modified "Combat Command Room" to study the current Far East battle situation.

The competition on the ocean is in full swing, but now I have time to study the battle situation on the "Ruslan" transport plane on standby and decide when to go out. This sounds a bit ridiculous.

Long Yun didn't care about that much when he closed the door and studied the information.

As a senior VVS officer, as early as when Irkutsk proposed to participate in the battle, he knew that this was definitely not a personal performance by Viktor Rezenov, but should embed himself as an indispensable screw into the huge war machine of the Red Empire in the Far Eastern War Zone. At this moment, in addition to the Red Navy's first and second seas and air combat groups on the vast ocean, the important role of this battle - the Red Navy long-range bomber unit, and the Tu-22m3 of the four bomber regiments were dormant in several coastal bases. Once Viktor issued an order, after approval by the General Command, these fire-spraying monsters carrying KSR-5 and KH-15 anti-ship missiles would be in full swing. Under the cover of the Red Air Force Su-27m/ubm fighter jets, they headed straight to the far sea and launched a large-scale air firepower projection on the US aircraft carrier battle group.

The improved and developed models of the tu-u-u-26 family have a larger change than the prototype t-22m/m2. Not only does the maximum flight speed increase from Mach 1.6 to Mach 2.2, but the maximum range also reaches 7,000 kilometers. In terms of conversion, the combat radius of long-range bombers using the in-air ammunition chamber mounting scheme can reach 3,000 kilometers.

If the escort issue is not considered, then the tu-22m3 can take off from the Soviet Far East base and go directly to the battlefield without the need for air refueling.

The three thousand kilometers of route is for the first-class combat readiness Red Navy bomber troops to take off immediately after receiving the order and enter the combat waters in just three hours. For Victor, the "Ruslan" he was riding on was relatively slow, and it would set off about an hour earlier than the anti-ship missile fleet. In addition, it also had to coordinate surface combat formations and submarine troops. It is conceivable how large the scale of such a battle would be and how difficult it would be to coordinate it.

I felt that the responsibility I was shouldering was extremely heavy, so I hid and looked through the information. Long Yun first figured out the maritime combat situation thousands of kilometers away.

In recent days, with the Soviet military summarizing various intelligences, the movements of its old enemy, the US Navy, are becoming clearer and clearer.

Especially about a week ago, Soviet military agencies launched two low-orbit reconnaissance satellites from Baikonur Space Center to strengthen interrupted detection of the North Pacific region. The Americans' strategies were similar. The two large fleets of ships approached each other while testing the opponent's reality. The sentry forces of both sides had several contacts, but no decisive battle broke out.

Faced with the US Navy's three aircraft carrier battle group and after crossing the Thousand Islands chain, the Red Navy's deployment also made some adjustments.

After the formation left the Sea of ​​Okhotsk, in order to wait for the Tbilisi, which was delayed due to the maintenance of the main engine, the second sea and air combat group composed of the heavy aircraft cruiser of the Varyag first cruised around the island chain and carried out some offensive anti-submarine operations. It was only three days later that it received the first sea and air combat group escorting the Tbilisi, and then met with the third sea and air combat group that was coming from Petropavlovsk.

The three ship formations were combined into one place, and the troops prepared for the ocean-going naval battle were basically all, and the huge Red Navy fleet was reorganized into two combat clusters.

Among them, as one of the main forces in the ocean naval warfare, two heavy aircraft cruisers, Tbilisi and Varyag, and the 1144 nuclear-powered missile cruiser, formed a naval and air combat group, forming four 956/956e missile destroyers, three large anti-submarine ships, three 1155 large anti-submarine ships, three 1135 warning ships, two 971a attack nuclear submarines, and two new generation 945a attack nuclear submarines.

Through the reorganization of the sea and air combat group, the Red Navy Pacific Fleet gathered the carrier-based aviation forces on its hands and deployed them on the second line as the core force of ocean-going combat.

In addition, the three 1164 missile cruisers "Belarus", "Ukraine" and "Tajik" originally belonged to the first and second sea and air combat groups formed a surface combat group, which consisted of four Type 949a cruise missile nuclear submarines, two type missile cruisers, three type 956e missile destroyers, two type 1155 large anti-submarine ships, and four type 971a attack nuclear submarines.

A sea and air combat group, plus a surface combat group, the size of the two ship formations is really not small, but this is basically a division of the command system. The two combat groups generally do not separate from each other and fight each other, but maintain a certain distance from front to back to advance eastward. This not only reduces the difficulty of command and coordination, improves the operational efficiency of the automated air defense network, but also supports each other. Under the cover of the carrier-based aviation force, it seeks aircraft to launch dense anti-ship missile volleys.

To attack the US aircraft carrier battle group, as Long Yun previously analyzed, the Red Navy mainly relies on the "trial-in-one" missile combat system. For the ocean fleet that is confronting the hostilities, surface missile ships and cruise missile submarines are the real anti-ship main forces.

Take a look at the surface combat group of the Red Navy, three 1164 missile cruisers and four 949a cruise missile nuclear submarines, including the P-500 and P-700 missiles, the total number of long-range heavy anti-ship missiles is 144 - this number is indeed terrifying. After all, the differences between anti-ship missiles are also very big. The big guys carried on the Red Navy missile cruisers and missile nuclear submarines can reimburse the ships of 10,000 tons if they hit one. Even if the U.s.navy's heavy aircraft carrier will lose its combat effectiveness if they eat two or three more aircraft, and they will be completely destroyed. The threat can be said to be very large.

Of course, considering the range of heavy anti-ship missiles such as p-500 and p-700 is about 500 kilometers, as well as the extremely high demand for target search and relay guidance, it is difficult for a simple surface combat ship to break through the US Navy's air interception, and its tactical value is not as high as it seems on paper. It must be air cover and support from the sea and air combat group to play a role.

On the other hand, for the sea and air combat group of the Pacific Fleet, the combat mode of the Soviet aircraft carrier-based aircraft troops is completely different from that of the US aircraft carrier-based aircraft troops. The former mainly undertakes fleet air defense and anti-submarine tasks, that is, for tactical defense rather than offense, while the latter focuses on tactical offense. Even in the face of the Russian anti-ship missile threat, it is also used to carry air-launched anti-ship missiles through combat attack aircraft, which is a typical thinking of "defense with offense".
