Hong Kong film: Drowned by the Chiang family? I launch a massive attack on Hung Hing.

And 50 T-72 main battle tanks.

Even on a global scale, this level of strength is probably only comparable to a handful of major powers.

As for Southeast Asia, Li Jun is undoubtedly the king there now!

Furthermore, because Bruno continuously provided false information to Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Sutoha were unaware of Li Jun's changes in strength, and even made them feel that Li Jun was not as strong as they had imagined.

Because of Bruno's false intelligence, Zhao did not receive all the equipment he wanted from Sutoha, but only obtained 6 Adams-class destroyers.

However, he secretly reached an agreement with Brian and hired two more US 'Kidd-class' destroyers.

These eight destroyers are currently sailing from a U.S. naval base in the Pacific toward Java.

Sutoha also possesses 20 F-16s.

What pleased Sutoha the most was that he also invited 10 US military instructors to help him plan his strategy against New Guinea.

These 10 US military instructors are all veterans who have participated in planning numerous US military wars abroad.

There was even a Lieutenant General, Mills, who had participated in the final battle against the Japanese and was very familiar with all the islands in Southeast Asia.

This is tantamount to the United States getting involved directly.

Sutoha felt confident that he had the upper hand this time.

It would be absolutely possible to wipe out all of Li Jun's troops in one fell swoop.

[239] The US Navy, the best in the world? That's all???

Java.

Inside a meeting room deep within the hall of a white palace.

An elderly white man with white hair, dressed in the uniform of a U.S. Army general, was giving a long and detailed explanation to the group of people at the table in front of him.

Sutoha could only sit next to him and pretend to listen attentively.

Even the captains of warships still at sea were using satellite phones, obediently listening to the conversation.

He was Lieutenant General Mills, a US military instructor whom Sutoha had brought from the United States. He was also in charge of Java's operation against New Guinea.

"No matter how strong our opponents are, we must take them seriously; even a lion will use its full strength to hunt a rabbit!"

Lieutenant General Mills began analyzing intelligence from both sides.

"This time, our strength is superior to theirs in every aspect, but we still cannot be careless!"

"We still need to do our best to gather intelligence. We are now sending F-16 fighter jets to conduct high-altitude combat readiness patrols every day. On the one hand, we are gathering intelligence on the enemy, and on the other hand, we are training F-16 fighter pilots."

"Our F-16 fighter pilots have too little flight time and are severely lacking in combat experience!"

Mills was utterly ruthless in his remarks.

"The key to everything lies in the clash between naval warships!"

"According to intelligence, the enemy only has one Adams-class destroyer. Based on the previous intelligence from Windmill Nation, the firepower of this Adams 770-class destroyer is just as powerful as ours!"

"Radar search radius 400 kilometers, missile range 130 kilometers!"

"All ships must maintain a safe distance of 130 kilometers from enemy ships!"

"How can we fight like this?"

The voice of a Javanese ship captain, Joko Widodo, came through the satellite phone.

Mills didn't say it aloud, but he inwardly felt contempt.

"A key principle of naval warfare is: detect and destroy!"

However, the voice of Lawrence, the captain of a Kidd-class destroyer, came through.

He also felt great contempt for the Javanese people. If Lieutenant General Mills hadn't been in charge of this operation, he would have simply sailed the warship around for a while and then returned to base.

"Our job is only to locate and contain the enemy's warships; the rest is up to the fighter jets!"

Lawrence couldn't help but lecture, saying that this was the most effective tactic the United States had developed for dealing with warships, relying on its aircraft carriers.

"Lawrence, you're right. In the end, we still have to rely on the F-16 fighter jet. The F-16 has a combat radius of 900 kilometers, and it can cover the entire sea area of ​​New Guinea from Java!"

"As for the six Adams-class destroyers and two Kidd-class destroyers, they will be responsible for maritime patrols, searching for targets, and trying to spread out their formation as much as possible!"

"Maintain a distance of 50 to 100 kilometers between each warship, so that the radars of all warships can coordinate their searches to improve detection efficiency and detection range!"

"At the same time, the remaining Javanese navy warships will have their personnel reduced by two-thirds each, and will be sent to the front as bait!"

Although Sutoha only half understood what he was hearing, he had only one thought in his mind: Damn, that's professional!

It really is the US Navy; just hearing that name makes it sound very professional.

Hiring American instructors was definitely the right decision; the money was well spent!

Then, looking at the Javanese military personnel on the other side, Sutoha suddenly felt for some reason that they were a bunch of good-for-nothings.

On the island of New Guinea.

All the weapons and equipment purchased from the Russians have arrived and are all in good working order. Just as Yegorov said, they are all in the best condition, a privilege reserved only for Li Jun.

All three air defense radars are installed at the highest point on the island, with a detection radius of 600 kilometers, covering not only the entire island of New Guinea but also half of the sea area.

With Luo Sanpao in command, the warships were not kept in the harbor. Each of the 'Dreadnought'-class and 'Adams'-class destroyers led a squadron to patrol the two sides of New Guinea Island, supplementing the radar's detection range.

This expansion will enable monitoring of everything happening on Java Island.

"Captain, three fighter jets have just taken off from Java Airport. Should we launch anti-aircraft missiles to intercept them?"

The first mate on the 'Dreadnought'-class destroyer asked Luo Sanpao for his opinion. With the 'Dreadnought'-class destroyer, Luo Sanpao naturally switched from the 'Adams'-class destroyer to the 'Dreadnought'-class destroyer.

"Keep tracking, and make sure the guys on deck tighten the camouflage nets so they don't expose themselves!"

The main enemy this time is eight warships coming from the US Pacific base. We cannot expose the 'Dreadnought'-class destroyers before we spot them.

However, after searching for several days, Luo Sanpao still couldn't find any trace of the opposing warship.

At the same time, given the opponent's aggressive approach this time, the most important thing is to lull them into a false sense of security first.

"Also, shut down the island's air defense radar!"

Luo Sanpao planned to play the long game, luring out all 20 of the enemy's F-16s so he could destroy them in one fell swoop.

Try to gain an advantage for your own air force.

air.

Javanese pilot.

"Report: Nothing unusual!"

"The radio field was very clean; we encountered no radar detection or aircraft interception!"

For three consecutive days, 20 shifts were dispatched, and the reports contained the same content.

"Damn it, we've run into a sly old fox!"

This report, however, alerted Mills, giving him a sense of having met his match.

This made him even more suspicious of whether his intelligence was accurate.

Anyway.

If enemy fighter jets are on patrol, they should be scrambled immediately to intercept them.

He didn't believe the other side hadn't noticed; the only possibility was that they were playing the long game.

"In that case, starting tomorrow, I will only send one fighter jet per shift!"

same.

After three days, Luo Sanpao had figured out the opponent's patterns and their objectives.

Just like me, we're all playing hide-and-seek, trying to find each other.

But I'm not playing along with you this time.

"Turn on all the radars on the island, lock onto those three F-16s, and shoot them down!"

'Beep~''Beep~''Beep~'

Three Javan F-16s simultaneously sounded their alarms in the air.

"Damn it, the ground, the ground, I'm locked on!"

"Fighter jets detected taking off from New Guinea!"

But before the Javanese pilot could finish speaking...

'Boom!' 'Boom!' 'Boom!'

The three F-16s were smashed to pieces in the sky.

at the same time.

Upon hearing the enemy's fighter jets take off, Mills was startled and roughly guessed their target.

He immediately gave the order.

"Get the remaining F-16s up and running immediately. The enemy's target is the airfield!"
