Chapter 806: Support failed, Longxia Navy went crazy
"Oh my god, why is there a Longxia Navy in this position?"

"We went to support the front line, but this is the front line. Damn it, we were targeted by the Longxia Navy."

"Fuck, there are traces of Longxia Navy activities in the waters of the Donghuang Tribe. Why didn't anyone tell us? Are those people in the intelligence department all shit eaters?"

"They're just a bunch of assholes!"

Lieutenant Colonel Fredette was so angry that he cursed out loud, feeling indescribably unhappy.

He had already made preparations for the pre-war mobilization, and the fleet members were also ready to rush to the front line as soon as possible to grab the credit, but who would have thought that they would be suddenly targeted by anti-aircraft missiles launched by the Longxia Navy, directly turning this place into the front line.

Why are they still heading to the front line? Whether they can escape is a huge question.

The situation suddenly changed drastically. He now didn't know whether they should go to support the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet or call for reinforcements to support them!

Without time to think, Fredette hurriedly shouted into the communication channel: "Attention, we have been ambushed by the Longxia Navy, everyone prepare to fight!"

"Show me your full skills. Now is not the time to hide your abilities. The speed of these anti-aircraft missiles has reached Mach 4 and is still soaring. Please be careful."

At this moment, he felt that he was closest to death, with one foot almost at the gate of hell.

There are too many anti-aircraft missiles, and almost every one of them has at least two. That is to say, one attack on them is not enough, there is another one coming. It is obvious that they are all going to be wiped out here. It is too cruel!
In fact, there was no need to remind them at all. The other pilots also realized at the first moment that they were locked by anti-aircraft missiles, and they were naturally very nervous.

The distance was nearly 120 kilometers, and even if the two were stationary, it would take less than two minutes to calculate at Mach 4. In other words, they were hit for less than three minutes.

If they still maintain the high speed of 1.8 Mach and the altitude remains unchanged, it may take longer, but only a little longer.

In any case, the range of the Haihongqi 901B air defense missile exceeds 500 kilometers, and the firing altitude reaches 28km. No matter how the F18 carrier-based aircraft struggles, it is impossible to exceed this attack range. After all, the speed is still soaring, jumping from Mach to Mach .

In this way, the speed of the air defense missile is almost three times that of the F18, and it is only a matter of time before it is caught up.

After notifying everyone, Fredette hurriedly transmitted the relevant information back via the data link.

Inside the main control room of the USS Vulture fleet.

Captain Douglas was just taking a big sip of coffee. He was so sleepy that he would feel sleepy even without the coffee. At this time, the signalman suddenly reported.

"Captain, urgent news, Lieutenant Commander Fredette has sent back the latest intelligence!"

After swallowing the coffee, Douglas was obviously stunned for a moment, and then asked in surprise: "Isn't it too fast?"

Under normal circumstances, even if the afterburner is turned on and the speed reaches 1.8 Mach, it will take at least ten minutes to reach the battlefield!

And today we arrived in such a short time, it’s a little unbelievable.

Before he could ask for the specific reason, he heard the communications soldier reporting very anxiously.

"Captain, Lieutenant Colonel Fredette said that their fleet was ambushed by the Longxia Navy. The anti-aircraft missiles were less than 119 kilometers away from them. There were a large number of missiles, and the speed exceeded Mach 4."

"They are fighting against it, trying to escape the missiles as much as possible and rush to the front line to provide support."

"Lieutenant Colonel Fredette also said that if there was no way to escape, they would have to save themselves first and give up the mission of supporting the front line."

At this moment, Douglas finally figured it out. It turned out that it was not that Fredette and his crew were flying too fast, but that they encountered great trouble on the way.

If they cannot escape, this group of carrier-based aircraft formations rushing to the front line may be unable to protect themselves!

Soon, he came to his senses.

Oh my god, they were suddenly attacked by the Longxia Navy at this time. Doesn’t that mean that there is a Longxia Navy fleet ambushing in some sea area that they don’t know about?
After this thought came up, Douglas felt a chill coming from the soles of his feet, and suddenly rushed from his tailbone to his head! He was extremely annoyed, but at the same time, he couldn't help but feel very fortunate.

Fortunately, the Longxia Navy suddenly launched an attack, sneaking up on the carrier-based aircraft formation, and took the initiative to expose their position. Otherwise, if they were allowed to lurk and suddenly attack the Vulture aircraft carrier fleet, they would really be caught off guard, and it would be a big trouble at that time.

The deputy captain at the side thought for a while and said directly: "Captain, the Longxia Navy suddenly attacked our carrier-based aircraft unit, probably to block them from rushing to the front line. From this point of view, they are almost 100% unable to go to the front line."

"I think that they should focus on protecting themselves and try their best to survive. As for support, we can wait until they get through this disaster."

Douglas pondered for a moment and felt that this was the only thing he could do for now.

It would be very unprofitable if all of this carrier-based aircraft formation were destroyed in order to support the front line. He didn't want to die before accomplishing his mission, and die halfway.

Without any hesitation, Douglas gave the order: "Notify Lieutenant Colonel Fredette and tell him that I have approved it. They should focus on self-protection at this stage."

"We can only plan for support after they survive. Quick!"

The signalman hurriedly responded, "Yes, Captain."

Soon he conveyed the relevant orders to the front line.

At this time, the deputy captain on the side spoke again: "Captain, in order to avoid any unexpected incidents, I suggest that we should send another carrier-based aircraft unit to provide the greatest assistance to Fredette and his men."

"what do you mean?"

Hearing this, Douglas frowned and said, "You said that they might encounter unexpected risks? The distance from the location where the anti-aircraft missiles are attacking is nearly 120 kilometers. No matter what, our carrier-based aircraft formation can escape, right? The carrier-based aircraft can carry more fuel than the missiles. We can compete in consumption and win the last chance to escape."

The deputy captain disagreed and directly reminded: "Captain, do you remember that the anti-ship missiles that attacked the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet were fired from 360 kilometers away?" "In addition, according to the relevant intelligence we have collected, the Longxia Navy has a powerful arsenal. Both air defense missiles and anti-ship missiles have a very long strike range. According to the expert group's speculation, its range exceeds kilometers."

"In total, there is at least 250 kilometers of dangerous area. It will be a problem whether they can withstand this wave and escape."

Without waiting for Douglas to speak, he continued, "Captain, we must be prepared. It is better to be prepared for the worst."

Douglas rubbed his brow with his right hand, and after a moment he suddenly put it down: "You are right. In order to prevent any incidents, we must not pin our hopes on the missile's insufficient range."

Without any hesitation, he immediately ordered the signalman: "Quick, notify the second echelon to take off and provide support immediately. There must be no mistakes."

The signalman quickly took the order: "Yes, Captain!"

Without waiting for the other party to execute the order, Douglas once again ordered: "Report to General Cruz at the garrison base and tell him that our carrier-based aircraft unit encountered a surprise attack by the Longxia Navy and our support will be delayed."

"The specific time is to be determined!"

Because he himself was not clear about the exact time, the first wave of carrier-based aircraft formation encountered a sudden attack by the Longxia Navy. The time of escape naturally depended on when Fredette and his men escaped.

In fact, when he said the last words, he hesitated for a moment. He was unsure and even had a very ominous premonition. Just as the deputy captain said, it was very likely that the situation would be disastrous.

Before the combat commander could go to carry out the mission, the deputy captain solemnly reminded: "Tell the second batch of carrier-based aircraft formations to take off, be sure to be careful of the ambush of the Longxia Navy!"

Douglas thought it made a lot of sense. Fortunately, the deputy captain reminded him, otherwise he would have almost overlooked this crucial factor.

If the second batch of carrier-based aircraft formation also encountered an ambush by the Longxia Navy, that would be a big joke. It would be tantamount to giving heads to the Longxia Navy.

It would be fine if they gave it away once, but they gave it away a second time. Isn't this just crazy? Are they going to have to do a buy one get one free promotion?

If all the carrier-based aircraft were consumed, then misfortune would fall on the Vulture aircraft carrier, and they would become lambs to be slaughtered by the Longxia Navy without any ability to fight back!

Because all the carrier-based aircraft were consumed, their situation was similar to that of the USS Enterprise, or even worse.

"in addition."

Douglas hurriedly gave another order, "Notify everyone to send out all our reconnaissance planes to search the sea area where the first wave of formations discovered the incoming anti-aircraft missiles."

"I tell you, you must find the damn Longxia Navy's ambush fleet for me!"

The combat wing commander quickly accepted the order and said, "Yes, Captain."

As the order was given, the deck of the aircraft carrier became busy again. The four steam catapults were all operating at full capacity. The steam rising from the slide rails almost dyed the front deck into white mist. The ground crew shuttled through the white mist, maneuvering one carrier-based aircraft after another to the take-off point.

At the end of the runway, the flame deflector has been raised and an F18 Hornet is on standby at the take-off point. Its two engines are spewing out red flames. As the guide gives the release gesture, the carrier-based aircraft soars into the sky in the dark night.

With the afterburner turned on, the F18 Hornet soon disappeared into the night, as if it was swallowed by a night monster.

While they were busy launching the second wave of carrier-based aircraft, Cao Youren had actually expected this result a long time ago, but he was unable to make any changes at the moment. They were still detecting the specific location of the USS Vulture.

Their main task now is to intercept them midway and block their support. It is only a matter of time before their ambush position is exposed. There is absolutely no way around it.

The entire Third Combat Corps has made up its mind: if an enemy plane comes, we will shoot it down one by one; if a group of enemy planes comes, we will shoot them down as a group!
Lieutenant Colonel Fredette, who was in the air, finally felt relieved after receiving the relevant news from the aircraft carrier.

They no longer have to worry about supporting the USS Enterprise; they just need to focus on dealing with the incoming anti-aircraft missiles.

Immediately, Fredette gave an order in the communication channel: "Everyone, focus on dealing with the incoming anti-aircraft missiles. The mission to support the Enterprise aircraft carrier has been cancelled."

"Your most important task right now is to survive this round of enemy ambush!"

"Everyone, let go and do it!"

At the same time, in the headquarters hall of the garrison base.

Cruz did not go to the office, but came directly to the command hall. As long as the war on the front line was not over, he could not rest assured and had to take command with General Koro.

I looked up at the precise atomic clock on the wall. It was less than five minutes. Normally, five minutes would just pass in the blink of an eye. It was so short.

But now, he felt that the time was very long, and he even felt that every second was such torture. He was on edge and very worried that something would happen to the USS Enterprise again.

There are only more than four minutes left from the front line. I really want to deduct this period of time from the life clip and jump directly to the end to know the result. Why should he suffer so much?

Koro, who was sitting nearby, felt like he was sitting on a nail, his body swaying from time to time, obviously unable to sit still. From time to time, he would glance towards the signalman, as if waiting for information from the front line so that he could react as quickly as possible.

Neither Cross nor Koro had experienced this kind of nervous feeling for quite some time.

Cruz couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "This feeling of torture is really fucking unpleasant. Damn it, they actually let me experience this. Damn it, the Longxia Navy is really damned!"

That's right, he hated the Longxia Navy, which made him experience the helplessness and frustration of the commander of the Donghuang tribe when he was seeking support everywhere.

At this moment, he felt that he and the commander of the East Wilderness Tribe were connected by the same fate, the only difference was that one was experiencing it in advance, and the other was delayed.

No matter what, this feeling made him want to grab someone and beat him up.
