Chapter 1288 Psychological pressure
However, he had his own keen observation of the battle situation, but the Major General Staff believed that all this was attributed to U.s.navy's mistake in the battle arrangement.
Faced with the Soviet Navy, a challenger with not weak strength, the first priority of the United States fleet is not to intercept the whistling "counterfire", nor to attack the Russian surface warships, nor to search and annihilate the threat of nuclear submarines from underwater. Instead, one thing should be focused on doing is to use radar detection, carrier-based aircraft patrols and surface ships to promptly discover and stop the detection operations of Russian reconnaissance aircraft, nuclear submarines and even military reconnaissance satellites.
Facing a powerful attack, it is feasible 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, U.S.navy, which was used by Washington to play the Far East strategy, did not do it, or it could not do it even if it wanted to do it. He was determined to eliminate the main force of the Pacific Fleet. Originally, this plan might have some hope of success, but once an accident occurs, isn't the "sickle" appearing? It will lose in a mess.
"Occurrence is the best defense." This statement is true, but any motto always has applicable conditions. If even the security of your own fleet cannot be guaranteed, what can you do if all the Russian warships are sent to the bottom of the sea?
To put it bluntly, it is the politicians of the United States. The generals are too confident about u.s.navy, but there are not so many one-sided good things on the battlefield. Before fighting Iraq, Libya could certainly win without any injuries, but it is really too confident to have this idea in the face of the polar bears.
A bitter defeat made the frontline commanders on the "Theodore Roosevelt" feel depressed.
At the same time, the news of the defeat was transmitted to the distance through electromagnetic waves. In the Uspa Command Center in the Hawaiian Islands, the generals and staff members also looked very bad; holding a decrypted secret telegram in their hands, Lieutenant General Joseph Prych, who was stationed in the core command of the US Pacific Command, frowned. He was not willing to face the complicated gazes of his colleagues, but just put on a whole military uniform and maintained the minimum majesty of a senior officer in the face of crisis.
The u.s.navy, which originally had high expectations, was slashed and killed by a "sickle" that suddenly appeared. What would he, the deputy commander of the Seventh Fleet, say?
Do you want to blame the navy’s boys like the Air Force and the Army’s colleagues for the unfavorable battle? But these stinky guys must also know that any kind of battle, as long as you see the "Caucasus Death"... the lieutenant general couldn’t help but think of a private meeting with veteran general Mark Mitchell a few days ago. Now it seems that the elderly Mitchell is really jealous. Maybe he had expected an encounter with the United States Navy. Is that true?
Mark Mitchell, after all, is the person who faces the "God of Death" in the Caucasus...
While recalling the past endlessly, while chewing on this unexpected failure, it was obvious that there were signs of signs. Joseph Prych stood for a long time before shook his head with emotion and a very depressing word appeared in his mouth:
"It seems that today's battle... God is not on our side."
...
The sky was getting darker and the sunset gradually fell under the water sky, and the long day finally ended.
Time passed, the brilliant sunset faded away the redness, and darkness once again became the master of the vast ocean. In a day full of blood and fire, the two maritime powerhouses, the US Navy and the Red Navy, broke out in the vast Pacific Northwest, a long-lasting decisive battle lasting for eight hours.
The end of the battle was compared with the losses of a Type 1164 and four Type 956/1155 warships of the Red Navy, the casualties of U.s.navy can only be described as "hard" - the CV-67 "John Kennedy" was severely damaged, and the other two nuclear-powered heavy aircraft carriers were also seriously damaged. At the beginning, the "Theodore Roosevelt" who was lucky enough to avoid the "returning gun" was hit by the SS-N-12 "sandbox" heavy anti-ship missiles in the second phase, fortunately did not cause a fire across the ship. The George Washington next to it took two more SS-N-19 "shipwreck" on the basis of the damage in the first phase.
After a series of anti-ship missile attacks, if it were not for the full rescue of the aircraft carrier's damage manager, the two nuclear-powered giant ships would have lost their power and would have gone with the flow at sea. However, no matter what, the damage to the structure inside the ship is inevitable. The three aircraft carrier combat group, which was once full of people, completely lost the ability of the carrier-based aircraft to dispatch.
At the last moment, Lieutenant General William Pratt's decision to save an entire fleet. Otherwise, if it continues to be stranded in the combat waters, if the surrogate aircraft carrier is rolling in black smoke and the escort warships are in chaos, the Russians will find out when the main fleet of Ivans completely enters the missile launch position and even the "sandbox" and "shipwreck" brings things like ss-n-22 together, the situation will be completely out of control.
Faced with the overwhelming anti-ship missiles, the integrated air defense combat system is on the verge of collapse, and a single ship faces a surprise attack on supersonic anti-ship missiles, even warships equipped with the "Aegis" system are destined to become a pile of scrap iron.
What's more, after two rounds of fleet air defense operations, there were not many "standard" missiles left in the MK41 units of "Ticandroga" and "Burke", and even ammunition became a problem.
As night falls slowly, the participants in the decisive battle in the distant sea, the souls of the dead may have remained in the depths of the vast ocean.
The dead are gone, but the living are still carrying the mission and moving forward on the long road of war.
The survivors on the abandoned warship were transferred, and the two combat troops of the Red Navy Pacific Fleet combined to return overnight, preparing to return to the Far East home port for a temporary rest.
The large-scale long-sea combat formation is different from the American nuclear-powered aircraft carriers. The /6 full-deck heavy-carry cruiser has limited power self-sustaining power, and the crew failure of the "Tbilisi" still exists. The entire fleet maintains a speed of about 20 knots and goes westward. It defeated its old enemy, the US Navy in the far-sea waters. The fleet is not worried about air threats for the time being, and now it will set up a typical anti-submarine formation to guard against the American nuclear submarines' approaching sneak attacks.
After a huge decisive battle, the atmosphere on the Red Navy warships was less nervous and more joy of victory. 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. The soldiers in the battle were alert to any abnormal movements on the radar and sonar. However, unlike these night shift comrades, Victor Rezenov, the great hero in this battle, was sleeping in the cabin without any disturbance.
Later that day, before dusk, Long Yun only met with Anatoli Kapshkin, the head of the operation, and stayed in the cabin. Even when he had eaten, he did not even appear in the officer's restaurant, but was sent to the room by a special person. Such arrangements were of course due to the KGB and the military's usual security and confidentiality needs. Even if the participation of White 20 in the war was well known in the fleet, then the lieutenant general would hide his whereabouts on the warship, and to the outside world, he was claimed to have taken off the plane and flew to Petropavlovsk on the Kamchatka Peninsula.
Long Yun also doubted the necessity of this arrangement, but he had long been used to the committee's security plan that was similar to neurotic, so after dinner, he exercised his physical fitness in the room for a while, and then lay down to rest comfortably, throwing the intense battles during the day and the encounter with the number one ace of u.s.navy to the sky.
A painful and decisive battle between the sea and the air, and the outcome of the contest is of course of great significance to the parallel world.
After this battle, Long Yun thought about it before going to bed and knew how violent the NATO Group would have to endure. Perhaps the strategic situation of the entire world war would change because of it. But for him who traveled through time, the entire battle process was not thrilling. The only threat trump card of the US military, Sean Phelps, was driving a F-14D that was not good at dog fighting. The "bumblebee" around him was also useless, and there was no suspense as a result.
Victor Rezenov, nicknamed VVS number one killer, has no doubt about combat effectiveness. For pilots in the Western world, the psychological pressure is increasing.
In this situation, Long Yun had not experienced this situation before, facing Jasdf and killing the Japanese devils who were not aware of their lives. The stubborn pilot seemed to be able to maintain his strong fighting spirit and rushed over with extremely high efficiency to receive a one-way ticket to Huangquan.
But now, after participating in a decisive battle between the Red Navy against the US Navy, he fell no less than ten "Tomcats" and "Bumblebee". After savoring his daytime combat experience, Long Yun noticed how much pressure he and his White No. 20 Su-27m2k would add to the enemy. The US pilot, who had good skills, had a little abnormal performance in the face of the enemy. The name of "Caucasus Death" may be too terrifying, and even pilots with excellent psychological qualities shivered.
Just appearing in the air, even the sinister surrounds without a single shot can make the Americans frightened. Victor Rezenov's reputation has reached this level. Of course, there may be elements that suddenly appear on an-124b. At the psychological level, Long Yun itself is not very clear. He only feels that today's battle is really refreshing, and even the thrilling landing on the "Varyag".
However, the so-called "aircraft artillery braking" is just a stimulating experience!
