Chapter 675: Another achievement, Longxia cannot possibly have such an advanced reconnaissance aircraft

In fact, Douglas has done very in-depth research on the Longxia Navy’s battle layout in the Dongzhou waters and the various tactical actions it adopts. He always appears in an unexpected way and gives the opponent the most fatal blow!
"We really need to take some measures to prevent Willis from making any reckless moves."

Douglas stroked his chin with his right hand and muttered to himself that for this almost one-sided victory, he felt it necessary to remind Willis.

As for whether the other party listens to advice or not, he has no control over that. At least he has fulfilled his obligation to remind them to avoid them talking nonsense in the future.

Of course, he couldn't go and remind them in person, but had to do it through his superiors. He and Willis were both captains of aircraft carriers, with the same rank and position level.

Douglas immediately turned to the communicator and said, "Contact the headquarters and ask them to persuade Willis and others to wait until we arrive before carrying out combat operations. Do not act rashly alone to avoid giving the enemy a chance to defeat us one by one."

"Yes, Captain."

The signalman immediately took the order and took action, contacting the headquarters as soon as possible.

After the deployment was completed, Douglas did not sit idle, but continued to study the information about the Longxia naval fleet, and drank some coffee from time to time to refresh himself.

Of course, he didn't know that at this moment, 200 kilometers in the sky, there was a pitch-black reconnaissance plane conducting reconnaissance activities along the track left by the aircraft carrier fleet, and shooting a lot of extremely important video and photo intelligence materials.

The reconnaissance of the Vulture aircraft carrier was almost completed. After confirming the opponent's approximate sailing route, Xie Zhenyu immediately controlled the Dark Sword No. 1 to continue heading deep into the Pacific Ocean.

According to the original plan, Dark Sword No. 1 could turn back after discovering the trace of the Vulture aircraft carrier fleet, but Xie Zhenyu has always been an unsatisfied person, especially when facing the current situation, he wanted to do more reconnaissance to ensure more thoroughness.

Of course, I am just trying it out. If I make a discovery, I will make money.

Only thirteen minutes had passed, and the clock had just turned to the next day when the radar on Dark Sword No. 1 once again issued a warning.

He quickly turned his head to look over, and suddenly found an early warning aircraft flying at a low altitude 300 kilometers away, which gave Xie Zhenyu a shock.

I didn’t expect to make such a new discovery. It was an unexpected surprise.

According to the prevailing rules for aircraft carrier escort, early warning aircraft generally appear about 80 kilometers away from the aircraft carrier, providing early warning to the aircraft carrier, allowing the aircraft carrier to see farther and hear farther.

Therefore, the discovery of an early warning aircraft means that there must be an aircraft carrier battle group nearby.

Xie Zhenyu silently calculated in his mind that the distance to the Vulture aircraft carrier was about 700 kilometers. He flew about kilometers in thirteen minutes. If added up, the distance between the two aircraft carrier battle groups was about kilometers.

This distance does not seem too far, but for an aircraft carrier fleet, it will take at least 10 hours to arrive. After all, the speed is there. Without special circumstances, the speed of an aircraft carrier fleet is generally maintained at around 25 knots. Even if it is sailing at a high speed of 30 knots, it can only travel 55.5 kilometers per hour.

Of course, if it is during combat, it is a different matter.

After all, the combat radius of an aircraft carrier fleet is between 800 and 1,000 kilometers, so this distance can be ignored.

Once the combat mode is activated, facing the conventional fleet, the two aircraft carrier fleets can fully coordinate with each other and form a pincer attack.

If we are facing the Longxia Navy fleet with outstanding stealth performance, then this distance will have to be calculated separately.

In any case, even if the combat radius is expanded to one thousand kilometers, if the enemy is not found within this range, the distance will be of no use.

The incident happened too suddenly. Besides being terrified, Xie Zhenyu was also very confused. However, he did not have time to think too much. The most important thing right now was to find out which one was the Vulture aircraft carrier fleet.

Could it be that one of them is the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet?
That's not right! Then it's highly unlikely to be the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet!
He remembered clearly that when he went out for reconnaissance for the first time, he went to the Eagle Tribe garrison base and saw the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet docked in the military port.

How long has it been since the Enterprise arrived here? Could it be that the aircraft carrier can no longer fly? Then the behemoth can't fly even if it wants to.

Since they can't fly over, then doesn't this aircraft carrier fleet have to be new?

Suddenly he had a terrible realization that the Eagle Tribe might have a third nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleet.

After the idea of ​​three nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleets came up, Xie Zhenyu felt that something was wrong. He felt more and more uncomfortable and even felt that the consequences were terrible.

The Xiongying tribe alone has three nuclear-powered aircraft carrier fleets, plus the newly formed aircraft carrier fleet of the Donghuang tribe. Such a large lineup is simply beyond the ability of the current Longxia Navy to stop it!

"Whoops."

After taking several deep breaths, Xie Zhenyu suppressed the uneasiness and anxiety in his heart.

After checking the various instruments on the Dark Sword No. 1 and taking a special look at the remaining fuel, he found that it could still hold out for a while, which was enough time for him to conduct a close-range reconnaissance.

That's right, in order to confirm the nature of the aircraft carrier fleet, he had to boldly attempt a close reconnaissance operation.

Once the decision was made, Xie Zhenyu rushed towards the third aircraft carrier fleet without hesitation. That was the USS Carl aircraft carrier fleet of the Eagle Tribe!

The USS Carl aircraft carrier fleet, which was originally to be stationed at the second military base, thought that it had done everything very covertly without revealing any flaws, and would be able to stab the Longxia tribe in the back at the critical moment. However, it would never know that its whereabouts had been discovered in advance by Dark Sword No. 1.

Not long after, Dark Sword No. 200 appeared at an altitude of about kilometers away from the USS Carl aircraft carrier fleet and launched a cruise reconnaissance operation.

The continuous and uninterrupted flight consumed the fuel very quickly. It didn't take long before the fuel reached the critical point where it had to be resisted. Xie Zhenyu had to quickly control the Dark Sword No. 1 to return home.

The intelligence obtained in this sea area is of too high value and too explosive, and the situation is too critical, so the relevant intelligence information must be passed back as soon as possible.

He could realize that something big must have happened during the time he was out, and he even had a bad premonition. He could no longer care about his own safety. Xie Zhenyu couldn't wait to fly to the safe zone to carry out this operation.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the Dark Sword No. 1 was too close to the warning distance of the aircraft carrier fleet. Even one more second would increase the danger.

“Drip, drip, drip.”

At this time, it was too late for him to withdraw. Just as the information was passed on, the alarm in the cockpit suddenly sounded. The red warning light almost dyed the entire cockpit blood red, just like the famous scene when the red-clothed female ghost appeared in a horror movie. Xie Zhenyu's expression instantly became solemn.

On the radar screen, he clearly saw a fighter jet rushing towards him at a distance of about 248 kilometers.

"Alas, I am still too greedy."

He couldn't help but curse in his heart, but Xie Zhenyu didn't feel the slightest regret for his behavior. With a strong psychological quality, he did not hesitate and immediately pushed the accelerator to the maximum.

"boom!"

Accompanied by a sonic boom, Dark Sword No. 1 immediately entered a supersonic flight mode.

It was originally cruising at a speed of 0.9 Mach, but in just two seconds, the speed increased directly to 1.5 Mach, and then flew away.

Of course, if fuel consumption was not a consideration, he could have directly increased the speed to the maximum speed of Mach 2.

However, in this case, the current remaining fuel reserves would not be able to support him returning to the Navy's integrated military factory dedicated airport.

Due to the different factory production times, there are also differences in the performance of aircraft carriers in different time periods. In other words, the later the aircraft carrier is produced, the more advanced its performance.

Among the three aircraft carriers sent by the Eagle Tribe to the waters of Dongzhou, the Enterprise was the worst in terms of performance, followed by the Vulture, and the Carl was the best.

It was also because of this that Dark Sword No. 1 was not detected by its detection radar when it conducted reconnaissance on the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet. However, at the same distance, it conducted a brief reconnaissance on the Carl aircraft carrier fleet, but was immediately captured by its long-range detection radar.

In fact, this is because the stealth technology on the Dark Sword No. 1 is not as terrifying as that on a 10,000-ton destroyer.

After all, the stealth coatings used in the two equipment are completely different in nature. The one used on Dark Sword No. 1 is more stringent, and the technology currently analyzed has not yet met the standards in this regard.

Inside the main control room of the USS Carl.

Captain Bowensmith stared at the flashing target point on the radar screen with a gloomy face. He felt extremely unhappy and ashamed as if someone had seen his underwear.

Previously, when Dark Sword No. 200 was flying kilometers away from the aircraft carrier, the so-called most advanced long-range detection radar did not detect its trace, and it can be said that there was no reaction at all.

When Dark Sword No. 1 launched a reconnaissance operation, the radar discovered the clues and immediately issued a warning.

The radar monitor immediately reported the discovery to the captain. Bowensmith initially thought it was his own country's U-2 reconnaissance aircraft.

Because the electromagnetic wave signal emitted by Dark Sword No. 2 on the radar is so similar to that of U-Old , even the radar monitor thought so at the beginning!
In addition, its flying altitude is 25km. Looking around the world, Bowensmith has not found any other country with such reconnaissance aircraft above this altitude. Therefore, even if he does not want to admit that this is not his own reconnaissance aircraft, he has to admit it.

The Eagle Tribe's reconnaissance aircraft is the most advanced in the world. No other country has similar products even at a flight altitude of 25km, let alone 22km.

After a careful comparison and analysis of the computer database, Bowensmith suddenly realized that this was not his reconnaissance plane.

Then it belongs to a third country!

This discovery shocked him so much that he felt a chill down his back and down his feet.

As the most powerful air force on Blue Planet, the Eagle Tribe has actually been surpassed by other countries in the field of high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft?

You know, looking at the entire Blue Star Air Force ranking, the top three are all occupied by the Eagle Tribe. The first place is naturally the Eagle Tribe Air Force, the second place is the Eagle Tribe Naval Aviation, and the third place is the Marine Corps Air Force.

It is simply a pipe dream for the fourth-ranked national air force to surpass the Eagle Tribe in the field of high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft!
But now, Bowensmith saw very clearly that the high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft displayed on the radar screen did not belong to his country.

"Report to the captain, the enemy is moving away!"

At this time, the radar monitor's voice suddenly sounded.

"Immediately arrange for the F18 to take off and intercept! No matter which country it belongs to, it must be shot down!"

Bowensmith's expression was stern, with cold light flashing in his eyes. "I will never allow the Blue Planet to have reconnaissance aircraft that are more advanced than our country's!"

That's right, he has made up his mind to shoot down Dark Sword One even if it means causing an armed conflict between the two countries.

As an aircraft carrier commander, he knew all too well the great role that high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft could play. Once they were controlled by a country like the Longxia tribe, it would be nothing short of a nightmare for them.

Because this means that any covert military operations they conduct will be detected in advance by the Longxia tribe, so that targeted deployments can be made.

"Yes!"

The deputy captain immediately passed the order down.

On the deck, an F18 Hornet fighter jet quickly catapulted into action, followed by a second F18 that took off and headed directly for the designated airspace.

The two fighters have a normal combat configuration. Moreover, the F18 Hornet fighter has excellent performance and a maximum flight altitude of 15km. It belongs to the fourth generation fighter. Bowensmith feels that they are fully capable of shooting down a reconnaissance plane!

Even though the reconnaissance aircraft can fly at an altitude of 25km, it is not difficult for the F18, as it can rely on the long-range air-to-air missiles it is equipped with to carry out a jump attack.

Just when Bowensmith was full of confidence, he suddenly discovered that not long after the first F18 fighter took off, the radar screen showed that the speed of the reconnaissance plane suddenly increased to a new height, and the speed of separation was getting faster and faster.

At this moment, Bowensmith was shocked beyond words.

He was so shocked that his mouth opened so wide that an egg could almost be stuffed in!
