"All right,—hey, are you done, Pearson!"

"But boss! I think things are not as bad as you think. Isn't 'Roosevelt' safe now? The strength of vf-31 has not been greatly damaged. I think we can still fight-"

"Nonsense, Pearson, what else do you see?

——This is said that our army’s ‘sparrow’m has no effect on this guy at all. The technicians analyzed that they suspected that the Russians used some special interference methods, so that we only have the ‘rattlesnake’ to use, and a contest under what conditions!

How did the ‘sickles’ appear in the Pacific Ocean? Do you see that?”

He was a little unhappy when he spoke. There was no conflict between Sean Phelps and his very familiar partner, but he was indeed not optimistic about the next action. As a u.s.navy ace pilot, he never understood what the idiots in the Navy's equipment department were doing. "Super Hornet" can use "slammer", why "Super Cat" does not, is that continuous wave irradiator so difficult to deal with?

Regarding aim-54 and aim-120b, different weapon systems do bring some matching problems of fire control subsystems or electronic subsystems, and ter" is not advisable, but now facing the terrifying blood-colored sickle, Sean Phelps has a little irrepressible fear and panic. Although he knows that this is harmful to the battle, he just cannot completely abandon this idea.

Humph, if that guy says, no one will be afraid at all when looking at the world!

Walking depressedly on the aisle of the CVN-71 crisscrossing ships, feeling the tension everywhere. Returning to the combat preparation room of the VF-31 Squadron, Major Jonathan White and others were already on standby here. More than a dozen pilots prepared without saying a word, and then gathered together to have a brief mission briefing.

The staff arrived, and the mercury light in the room turned dim. Slideshows that were swaying in front of you. The naval colonel, who was worried, sat on a stainless steel folding chair and was thinking about it. As a citizen of the United States, wearing military uniforms to serve the country's war. He has always loved the ocean and loves to control the "big cats" to soar in the blue sky. However, the young man's mood is really a little depressed today, and he feels a little tired.

This was not half out of fear of "sickles", but some intuition was telling him that this world war that lasted almost a year, perhaps, the omnipotent America was really going to lose.

...

The steps of war are ringing step by step in my ears. Once I enter the battlefield, no one can escape the fate that comes to me.

"...Northwest wind is level 4. The deck wind speed is thirty-nine (knots), the traction hook is in place, ready!"

Two aim-54c, two aim-7m, and four "rattlesnakes"...

“…Call ‘Gonwana’, vf-31 ‘Catman’ Squadron, ‘claw_seven’, ‘claw_nine’, and request an attack.”

The electronic system self-test was completed, and the vision was good. Thin clouds floated from the distant sky. The sound of airflow was blocked outside the cockpit, and all preparations were made...

"'Gonwana' received the confirmation command, and vf-31 can attack."

The ejection is activated, the familiar pressure g force, the blurred black vision will appear in the next moment...

Sure enough, the eyes were dim, and after a few seconds, it gradually returned to normal. The heavy plane with flat wings had stopped falling and rebounded. It raised its head forward along an ascending track. The young man holding the joystick with both hands applied a little bit of tension, raised his hand and pressed the button to retract the landing gear. The exaggerated "super cat" painted on the double vertical tails was accelerating. The swept wing then turned to forty-five degrees, and passed the transonic stage in the white mist that was rising around his body.

On the sea, thunderous roars spread everywhere. In the sky, flying u.s.navy fighter jets were already on the road, and cross-shaped "bumblebee" flew over the sky in groups and rushed towards the invisible enemies in the distance.

At 4:00 pm, the North Pacific Ocean was still shining brightly. After retreating and running for a few hours, accompanied by the warning from "Los Angeles" and "Hawkeye", the US Navy aircraft carrier battle group finally made up their minds to stop retreating. They regrouped in the waters less than a thousand kilometers away from the Aleutian Islands, released all available carrier-based combat attack aircraft, and fought to the death with the Russian fleet that was hiding.

During a few hours of running, on the way, the F-15 fighter jets from a UAF advance base in the Aleutian Islands also appeared in the sky near the fleet. However, these "eagles" with few numbers and insufficient ability to leave space can only give a little sense of existence, which will not help the fate of the United States fleet.

The Air Force's F-15 came and went in a hurry. When the Russians' huge fleet approached, U.S.Navy could rely on the carrier-based aviation force on two nuclear-powered heavy aircraft carriers. As for the UAF's B-1A bomber fleet deployed in Alaska, the generals were suddenly very regretful. If they had studied how to use bombers to fight ships like the Russians, would they still get some assistance out of thin air?

This is probably the case, and there are many similar feelings, but for the US Navy pilot who took off, all this means nothing.

After the first round of missile baptism, it took about 30 minutes to search and rescue the fallen people. The only "Sea Wolf"-class nuclear submarine in the fleet was ordered to launch torpedoes at the burning CV-67. It was always the "lightning strike" that the Japanese were good at during World War II. It was actually used on their aircraft carriers. The Americans, who were furious but irritating, had no time to clean the battlefield and let the CG-58 "Philippine Sea" burn and sink, hurriedly retreat, but in the end, it was impossible to avoid a decisive battle of sea and air.

If, just a few hours ago, U.s.navy, who released a large number of carrier-based attack aircraft and tried to complete offensive and defensive tasks at the same time, was full of confidence and wanted to defeat the main force of the Red Navy in one fell swoop; then now, the "Super Hornets" flying in the sky were a bit tragic. They knew that there was a wall ahead and wanted to rush, just to make the Russians afraid and end the desperate battle that was destined to burn the sky.

Large aircraft fleets were dispatched one after another, releasing more than 30 f/a-18e/f from cvn-71 and cvn-73, losing an aircraft carrier, and exhausting dozens of fighter jets above. These are the offensive forces that the US Navy can piece together.

Of course, in order to escort the attack fleet, there were quite a lot of F-14s flying forward.

During this operation, the George Washington, with limited release ability, swept out almost all the aircraft carrying aircraft, and the "Theodore Roosevelt" who acted as the flagship was focused on ejecting the "Tomcat"; the mounting plan was adjusted, and the gray-white heavy fighter jets flying against the light climbed up one after another, and the aim-54c mounted on the lower half of the fuselage was murderous. More than ten "super cats" from the two squadrons of vf-31 and vf-103 came out in front of the two wings of the attack fleet, and the fleet behind them opened wide.

He was shot by a "returning" and then retreated eastward. Lieutenant General William Pratt and others made a bold judgment.

Judging from the situation of the battle, the US Navy has not completely escaped from the combat range of Russian bombers, and the fleet's air defense pressure is still very heavy. However, according to intelligence, the Russians had only five regiments of "counter-fire" in the Far East. The message from the Hawaii direction showed that these troops were all dispatched in the early morning of this morning - this means that the Russian bombers should now rest in the base, refuel and hang bullets, and it is impossible to attack again within a few hours. Only in this way can all the "Tongcats" be put into the battle in the west.

However, even if the entire army was under pressure, the psychological pressure of the Americans was still unprecedented in the face of the raging Russian main fleet, including the ship-based aviation force that was ready for battle.

Fighting, a contest of technical weapons, human factors are still crucial. The strength of the US Navy that broke free from a defeat is still there, but the mentality of the exhibitors is inevitably changed. Subtle mistakes have been reflected in tactical organization and action pace. The commander's plan is a bit eager to achieve success. Of course, this is also because u.s.navy has no choice but to fight hard.

From the Uspa in Hawaii, to Washington and the Pentagon, the generals' ideas were once again consistent with politicians.

A miserable defeat will undoubtedly be rejected by all those in power, and both sides will be hurt or turn defeat into victory. As for the specific level, it will be enough to avoid a crisis of confidence among all the people of the country, and to prevent the NATO system from gradually collapsed like a domino, fighting with all its might, but still losing to the evil empire, and being tolerated. In contrast, the choice of "retreat" naturally has no place.

The game on the battlefield, the mutual penetration of politics and military, all of this was just a passing cloud in Lieutenant Colonel Sean Phelps, who had taken off the plane. He was now determined to complete the task.

If possible, if he really encounters a "sickle", he will do his best to try the impossible.
