What does it mean to get a perfect score on the college entrance exam but then go missing?

The nickname "bomb truck" is a playful term used by military enthusiasts to refer to the J-16.

There are wrong names in this world, but there are never wrong nicknames.

The J-16 is the PLA's most powerful multi-role fighter jet with the highest payload capacity. It has 12 hardpoints, including 6 heavy-load hardpoints, with a maximum payload of 12 tons.

This data is only slightly smaller than the f15ex of mold.

However, the F-15EX's specifications come at the cost of increased fuel tank capacity.

If we're comparing a fully fueled and fully armed J-16, it's definitely the number one bomb truck.

This is not just our military boasting; within the NATO system, it is also acknowledged that the J-16 is the strongest flanker.

That's it.

The J-16 barely earned the title of "bomb truck".

You call your drone a 100-ton bomb king?

……

at the same time.

Blue Ridge flagship.

Patterson stared at the radar echo until his eyes almost bled.

Although the radar on his ship had filtering capabilities.

But the transmitted images he saw were not much better than those from civilian radar.

Within sight, the area was densely packed with signals from the other party.

The USS Howard was defeated in a radar exchange within minutes of entering the battle.

Both high-powered radars emitted smoke and made a humiliating exit.

After such a long strategic stalemate, Patterson still has no idea what he's facing!

"Can someone explain to me what's going on?!"

Patterson was in a fit of impotent rage!

What's more terrifying than a tactical failure is...

They knew nothing about the enemy's capabilities.

"Commander."

The head of the Air Force seat said, forcing himself to speak.

"Clearly, this was a premeditated surprise attack by the other side."

"The main purpose is to deceive us with a systematic array of models, thereby suppressing us in electronic warfare."

"Without a doubt, this is definitely a troop movement at the level of the enemy's theater of operations."

"I suspect that all the main forces of the enemy's Eastern Theater Command are involved, and even the Southern Theater Command may be involved."

Patterson suddenly looked up: "Nonsense, radar jamming covers almost half the globe. This is definitely a theater-level operation. What are you trying to say?"

What I mean is...

"The other side has already established electromagnetic suppression."

"Our two carrier groups are somewhat outnumbered and outmatched."

"How about we find a way to come back first, and then consider it after we get the electromagnetic rights?"

The Air Force representative put it very tactfully.

But when translated, it boils down to one word—run.

Under normal circumstances

This suggestion was unacceptable to the hawkish Paterson.

Available today.

Patterson didn't say anything upon hearing this, but just kept thinking about it.

This battle was inherently asymmetrical.

They knew neither the other party's purpose nor their strength.

From the very beginning, they were already being led by the nose.

His predecessor, Jonard, was misled by CAI and tried to interfere with the test flight of someone else's aircraft, but he didn't expect to fall into a trap.

In an attempt to reverse the downward trend, they kept deploying troops and falling into traps.

By now, both carrier groups have gone all in, yet they haven't even seen each other.

At this point, cutting losses seems to be the best option.

With that thought in mind, Patterson picked up the walkie-talkie.

[Attention all units, this is the Bird's Nest!]

[Black Spider Squadron and Thor, immediately return to launch base!]

[The remaining flight squadrons orderly withdrew from the battlefield!]

We are about to implement a strategic shift!

"clear!"

"receive!"

"Returning to base!"

"Distant landing at Andersen Air Force Base..."

Many of the aircraft involved in the battle were reporting back and forth on their walkie-talkies.

Only the Black Spider Squadron, which was farther away, did not reply for a long time.

Patterson couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety.

The Black Spider Squadron was the first unit to take off and the one that attacked the farthest.

He was also escorting an RC135.

This group of units is the most vulnerable to enemy threats.

[Black Spider Squadron!]

[Birds are calling!]

Please respond if you hear this!

at last.

After three calls, the Black Spider Squadron came online again.

Although the signal was somewhat intermittent,

But if you listen carefully, you can still make out their sentences.

"This is Black Spider Number One, please speak!"

[Black Spider 1! Return to base immediately, we are about to begin a strategic withdrawal!]

Black Spider 1: "Bird's Nest, please repeat, there's interference in the channel!"

Just then!

In the channel!

Suddenly, a string of broken English came through.

"He's telling you to shift your strategy, which, to put it bluntly, is to run away."

???

? ? ? ?

? ? ? ? ?

Black Spider was stunned.

The command center was also dumbfounded.

Patterson felt a chill run down his spine as he listened to the ghostly voice.

Patterson had already switched to an encrypted channel when the other party breached the channel last time.

But this time, they still managed to break in.

Even the black spider couldn't hear as clearly as the others.

This means that my C4 neural network has been thoroughly hacked.

How can we fight a war like this?

The enemy obeys orders more clearly than your own subordinates.

Patterson's last line of defense was breached.

At this point, whether or not an encrypted network is used is irrelevant.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and made a call in plain text.

[Attention all units, return to the nearest airport immediately!]

[USS Ronald Reagan, prepare for immediate takeover!]

[I repeat, all units, return to base immediately!]

……

[USS Ronald Reagan! Please respond!]

[Reagan! Please reply upon receipt!]

【What the heck! I received a reply!】

Within seconds of the order being issued, all the planes in the sky responded clearly.

but.

The USS Ronald Reagan, which was the only landing point on the front line, did not respond.

This means that the fighter jets in the sky cannot return to base.

In a short time.

Everyone on the Blue Ridge was on tenterhooks.

Anyone can go missing, but the Reagan can't!

They could even see the Reagan's movements clearly with their eyes.

"Reporting, Commander!"

"The USS Ronald Reagan appears to be experiencing communication issues!"

"The Reagan appears to have stopped accelerating!"

……

"All aircraft have lost contact with the Reagan!"

"Most fighter jets are unable to land!"

"Try continuing to call Reagan!"

"The F-35 formation is running out of fuel and must land as soon as possible!"

"Oh! Shit! What's that?!"

Suddenly.

Panic broke out on the communication channel.

Some fighter jets were the first to detect the anomaly.

"Enemy aircraft sighted! Repeat! Enemy aircraft sighted!"

"The radar isn't responding!"

"The enemy aircraft are arranged in an inverted triangle shape, presumably drones!"

"The enemy aircraft is extremely fast and has completed its low-altitude penetration!"

"Oh no! He's heading straight for the Reagan!"

"Bird's Nest! Bird's Nest! An enemy plane is diving low towards the Reagan!"

When Patterson received the report.

It's too late.

He could clearly see the dark shadow descending from the sky through the porthole of the Blue Ridge.

This moment.

He knew his professional career was over.

Only one enemy aircraft made a low-altitude infiltration of the USS Reagan amidst a massive enemy force.

We are now less than a kilometer away from the Reagan.

It toyed with hundreds of fighter jets and dozens of ships like stinking dogs.

As the commander, he was powerless to do anything.

At this moment, no matter what the other party wants to do, the Reagan is just a piece of meat on the chopping board.
