I built an armada.

"Say it!"

Douglas suddenly turned his head and looked over, saying expressionlessly.

"Captain, we have dispatched 24 carrier-based aircraft to provide assistance. Ten of them have been destroyed, and the remaining 14 are on their way back."

The deputy captain stared at Douglas, and seeing that he had no intention of speaking, he continued, "At present, we have no idea how many pilots parachuted to safety."

"However, even if they have successfully parachuted, given the current tense situation, we simply cannot send search and rescue forces to that area of ​​the sea."

"They will be in the cold water for a long time until we can send help."

"Captain, the worse situation is that the search and rescue at night is very difficult. I'm afraid they will be in great danger. We will have to face the reality of the pilot's sacrifice."

After hearing this, Douglas felt dizzy and his fists clenched tighter. Even his breathing became heavier, but he didn't say a word.

"captain?"

Seeing that Douglas didn't respond for a long time, the deputy captain was shocked and thought that the captain was sick. "Captain, are you okay?"

He stepped forward and supported Douglas, and the other party came to his senses and turned to look at the deputy captain.

"I am fine."

A weak voice sounded in the ears of the deputy captain. He subconsciously looked at Douglas' face, only to see that his face was gloomy and his eyes became hideous due to excessive congestion.

Even though Douglas said he was fine, he was still worried.

"It's a huge loss to lose so many fighter planes at once."

"Shame! This is a huge shame for our Vulture aircraft carrier fleet!"

Even though the deputy captain didn't say a word, he agreed with this. If this matter were to be spread out, it would be very embarrassing and he would probably be laughed at for a long time.

Originally, that batch of carrier-based aircraft was going to support the front line, but they were ambushed by the lagging Longxia Navy, which directly resulted in the huge loss of ten carrier-based aircraft.

This is a tragic event that has never happened in the history of Eagle Tribe carrier-based aircraft since they entered the 21st century.

If I had known this would happen, I would have simply not gone to support the front line. That way there would have been no losses.

However, if he did so, he would be considered disobedient and would definitely be brought to a military court. Not only would he lose his captain's hat, he might even be sent to prison.

"Have you discovered the exact location of the Longxia naval fleet?" Douglas gathered his thoughts and asked directly.

The deputy captain was slightly startled, and quickly said truthfully: "Not yet, our reconnaissance aircraft is still within the radar detection range, we still need to wait patiently for a while."

"I believe we can definitely find something. They can't go to heaven, right?"

When he said this, seeing that Douglas was no longer in trouble, he felt relieved and released his hand.

"Okay, then give them some time. Make sure to find the Longxia Navy for me!"

Douglas gnashed his teeth and said, "I must make sure that the damn Longxia Navy fleet is completely annihilated. They dared to challenge our dignity. They are courting death! Even if God comes, he can't save them!"

"Once you find them, open fire and wipe them out completely. You must avenge them!"

For him, this shame can only be washed away with the blood of the Longxia Navy, so that he can hold his head up and start a new life. Otherwise, the failure in this naval battle will become an indelible shame in his military career!

This is equivalent to delegating the authority to open fire. Once encountering the Longxia Navy fleet, there is no need to make any firing application and you can directly engage in battle.

That’s right, as the loss of carrier-based aircraft had reached ten, he became murderous!
"Yes, Captain!"

The deputy captain immediately took the order and passed the relevant orders to the carrier-based aircraft, several warships performing protection missions nearby, and the nuclear submarines lurking in the sea.

For the next period of time, neither of them spoke, but stared at the radar display, hoping to discover the whereabouts of the Longxia Navy fleet so that they could achieve their goal of annihilating the Longxia Navy fleet.

Soon, they suddenly realized a very serious problem.

How far has the battle on the front line progressed? Do they still need to send troops to support? The location of the Enterprise is the real front line, the most dangerous area, and urgently needs rescue.

But should they send carrier-based aircraft to help again? If they did, what if they were intercepted by the Longxia Navy fleet on the way? Wouldn't that mean they would have to go but never come back?
The first batch lost ten carrier-based aircraft, and the second batch suffered the same loss.

Douglas and the deputy captain looked at each other and thought of this important issue. Both of them felt overwhelmed.

It's a dilemma, and no matter what they do, it will be a huge mistake.

"Captain, shall we go to provide support?" the deputy captain asked after hesitating for a moment.

"Gulu!"

Douglas' throat moved back and forth a few times, but in the end his mouth did not open and he could not say anything.

After a moment, he said, "Contact the headquarters immediately, report the situation to them, and ask for instructions on what to do next. I have no way of giving this order."

The deputy captain agreed with this point. He knew very well that the current situation was completely beyond their capabilities and the best way was to hand it over to the higher authorities for decision.

Without any hesitation, he immediately contacted the headquarters.

On the other hand, the Third Combat Corps, which had been lurking in the relevant waters of the Donghuang Tribe, had all its radars and people's attention focused on the night sky, paying attention to the air combat situation.

Seeing that some of his anti-aircraft missiles were intercepted in advance, Cao Youren said nothing but remained expressionless, terrifyingly calm.

It was not until the first carrier-based plane was hit that he felt relieved and his expression was obviously relieved. Soon the results came out, and the deputy captain reported: "Captain, the results of the air battle are out. We shot down ten enemy planes and fourteen escaped."

The Eagle Tribe's F18 Hornet is a very advanced carrier-based aircraft. There are more than a thousand of them on the Blue Planet. It is very difficult to shoot it down, not to mention that it carries air-to-air missiles.

Therefore, the current results of the battle are already very good, and his main goal is not to shoot down all the enemies, but to achieve the goal of preventing reinforcements.

"It doesn't matter. It's already very good that we can achieve such fruitful results this time."

"After this battle, they will need to consider the consequences if they want to send reinforcements. They will need to consider whether they can withstand our attacks."

"No matter what they do next, it will take a lot of time, and the battle on the front line should have come to an end during this period, and the results should have come out."

Cao Youren showed a satisfied smile on his face. "Anyway, even if they launch a second round of reinforcements, it will take a lot of time for the carrier-based aircraft to take off from the aircraft carrier."

The deputy captain nodded in agreement.

Although they did not completely wipe out the Eagle Tribe's reinforcement carrier-based aircraft formation like before, they had all been driven back, which means they had achieved the goal of blocking the enemy's reinforcements.

Even though the third reinforcement had already taken off, they were too far away from the battlefield. They couldn't even send the second batch of reinforcements, let alone reinforce the front line in time.

Of course, this was also an important reason why they were unable to shoot down the reinforcements from the USS Carl. The attack range of anti-aircraft missiles was limited, and the radar detection range was also limited, while the aircraft from the USS Carl were beyond the radar's visual range.

Without radar guidance, even if the air defense missile is launched, it will not be able to hit the target, so there is no need to waste precious ammunition.

Besides, for that batch of reinforcement carrier-based aircraft formations to rush to the front line to carry out reinforcement combat missions, even if they use afterburner to reach the supersonic speed of Mach 1.8, it will take at least twenty minutes.

By the time they get to the battlefield, the flowers will be cold! Therefore, there is no need to worry in the short term.

Next, the deputy captain urgently reported the latest situation.

"Captain, we have detected new information. The reconnaissance plane that took off from the USS Vulture is only 278 kilometers away from us. It is obvious that their purpose is to conduct reconnaissance and determine our specific location."

"Based on the current situation, our position has been exposed."

"Once the reconnaissance aircraft discovers the location of our corps, I am afraid that he will call on the long-range strike force of the aircraft carrier fleet, such as the anti-ship version of the Tomahawk cruise missile, to attack us."

Cao Youren was not nervous at all when he heard this. Instead, he smiled as if he was not affected at all, and said very proudly: "Since it is here, don't let it go. Once it enters the range of 150 kilometers, open fire and shoot it down."

"If they want to locate us, it will cost them a heavy price. They must bear the consequences!"

The deputy captain immediately accepted the order and said, "I understand, Captain."

"Notify the forward patrol ship to keep an eye on the reconnaissance plane and make sure it is shot down." Cao Youren gave the order directly.

The deputy captain took the order and left, but Cao Youren walked to the bridge and looked at the dark night sky through the porthole, and scenes from the past emerged in his mind.

During the first conflict, in order to ensure that their hidden position would not be exposed, they reluctantly transferred the task of shooting down the Eagle Tribe carrier-based aircraft to Captain Dong.

And this time, they finally shot down the Eagle Tribe's carrier-based aircraft, which was considered a good start.

Due to his position, the significance of him leading the Third Combat Corps to shoot down the enemy plane this time was more symbolic than that of Captain Dong.

Cao Youren felt deeply moved when he thought of the ancestors who sacrificed their flesh and blood to defend the integrity of the motherland's maritime borders, as well as those old comrades-in-arms.

"My predecessors, my comrades, have you seen this? Our navy is now able to face the Eagle Tribe navy head-on and compete with their aircraft carrier fleet. The navy has made great progress!"

"We will definitely help you avenge the grudge from seven years ago. This is just the beginning, just consider it as collecting some interest in advance!"

"It's a pity that we can't salvage the wreckage of the enemy planes now. Otherwise, you would be able to see how fruitful our navy's current achievements are."

As he spoke, Cao Youren's eyes gradually became moist, with little fluorescent spots flickering in them, those were tears of joy.

At the same time, far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Honolulu is the headquarters of the Pacific Command.

Four-star Admiral Kurila and many generals gathered in the command hall, anxiously waiting for news from the front line. They did not leave here for a moment, even eating here.

Everyone's face was very serious. What they never expected was that after the Longxia tribe used a ballistic missile to hit the Enterprise aircraft carrier, the Longxia Navy could not wait to launch a large-scale offensive.

The sudden attack caught the U.S. troops off guard and also caught them off guard.

They immediately mobilized troops to reinforce the front line, but no matter how fast the reinforcements ran, they could not catch up with the speed of the anti-ship missiles.

For them, this is basically an unsolvable situation.

While they were worried, they were still very confident that the Enterprise aircraft carrier fleet could intercept the sudden offensive of the Longxia Navy. This confidence naturally came from the fact that they were equipped with the largest number of Aegis ships on the blue planet.

The Aegis ship possesses very powerful firepower interception capabilities, and its combat power on Blue Star is definitely at the ceiling level, of course, except for the 10,000-ton destroyers in the hands of the Longxia Navy.

In their minds, even though the Longxia Navy’s equipment is updated very quickly and is equipped with modern 10,000-ton destroyers of decent quality, looking at the entire Blue Star, the combat power of their naval aircraft carrier fleet is at the real ceiling level, and it is a ferocious existence that no opponent can shake!
"Everyone doesn't need to be too nervous or worried. The front line will definitely get through this."

Suddenly, a general broke the dull atmosphere at the scene, "Even though the Enterprise aircraft carrier has lost its carrier-based aircraft take-off and landing function, the aircraft carrier fleet still has a very strong combat capability and an undefeated record. So far, even the White Bear Tribe has not broken our record, let alone the Longxia Tribe!"

"It would take God himself wearing a helmet to defeat us!"

"Although we were caught off guard and at a disadvantage at the beginning, after Willis and others reacted, we took the initiative on the battlefield."

After hearing this, the other generals all expressed their agreement. They had the most extensive combat experience on Blue Planet.

Whether it was self-confidence or intuitive judgment, they all felt that their side would never fail, and would even fight a very beautiful comeback! (End of this chapter)
