I built an armada

Soon, under the command of the ground crew, one fighter jet after another taxied out of the hangar, rushed to the runway and accelerated to take off.

The dark blue flames ejected from the tail of the fighter jet, like a string of sapphires, extending from the runway into the pitch-black night sky. As the fighter jets shuttled back and forth like ribbons of light, the tail flames drew dark blue tracks.

But then again, no matter whether it is the fighter jets taking off from the aircraft carrier or the fighter jets taking off from the air force base in the Aleutian Islands, they will set off as soon as they receive the order and go to provide support. It will take a certain amount of time for them to reach the range of the missile strike, that is, the battlefield!

And now, what the seven patrol ships, including the destroyer Beifeng, need most is time!

Time is life to them, and it has become concrete!

Perhaps they had never felt before that death was so close to them, so close that even their breathing felt heavy and so precious. They had never felt that air was so precious.

But the anti-ship missiles launched by the Longxia Navy were so fast that even if the fighters took off immediately after receiving the order and entered supersonic flight, it would take at least 50 seconds! During this time, the anti-ship missiles had already flown 40 kilometers away.

By the time those fighter jets flew to a distance sufficient to participate in the combat, I am afraid that the Longxia Navy's fleet would have completed the missile strike mission and completely scrapped the seven warships.

This is why Chiaki Matsuda specifically emphasized the importance of letting Onodera Mai and the others hold on for another five minutes.

If they can't even hold out for five minutes, then by the time the fighter jets arrive, they will all be dead and all they'll see is a pile of wreckage!

Lin Yaichiro shouted again impatiently: "Tell the Beifeng to hold on again no matter what, and they must hold on until our support arrives!"

"Yes, General!"

After receiving the order, the signalman took immediate action and sent the order out immediately.

On the other hand, Hayashi Yaichiro was staring at the radar screen with an extremely nervous expression, his eyes were motionless, he didn't dare to blink at all, let alone move.

An ultra-large long-range detection land-based radar is used on the Aleutian Islands, which far exceeds the ship-borne version in terms of detection accuracy and detection distance.

Therefore, within 250 kilometers of the radar monitoring station, he could already see the missiles on the radar screen, and the large number of them made his scalp tingle.

However, they did not know that at this moment, in the East Wilderness Sea less than 200 kilometers away from them, four warships from the Longxia Navy were rushing towards them at a very high speed.

They were not the surprise attack fleet of the Longxia Navy, but the Third Combat Corps led by Cao Youren!

According to the operational concept proposed by Cao Youren at the beginning, the first step should be to completely destroy the remaining 88 Fleet including the seven naval ships of the "North Wind".

However, not long after the war started, he suddenly realized a serious problem, which was that it seemed that he did not need to go out at all, and the First and Second Combat Corps would be able to crush the enemy.

Naturally, he changed from directly participating in the battle to continuing to ambush, becoming a guard corps to support the combat operations of the first and second combat corps.

Because, if he took action now, there was no need for it. It would not be of much help in annihilating the seven Maritime Self-Defense Force destroyers, and it would also waste very precious weapons and ammunition.

The second, and also the most crucial point, is that the Third Combat Corps is currently in the waters of the Donghuang Tribe, and they cannot keep up with the supply of various ammunition. Once they are used up, they will become sitting ducks at sea, which will be a very dangerous and terrible situation.

Since I have already lurked in the waters of the Donghuang tribe, I have no intention of returning alive.

Anyway, I will die in battle anyway, so I have to die in a more meaningful way and play a greater role!

So, he immediately changed his strategy and continued to lurk without making any sound, but remained highly vigilant at all times, ready to intercept the East Wilderness Air Self-Defense Force that was going to support the Maritime Self-Defense Fleet.

After all, once the war breaks out, the warships will definitely be too late because the missiles on the warships simply cannot reach the distance, and the only ones that can provide rapid support are the Air Self-Defense Force's fighter jets.

According to his previous short-term reconnaissance of the Aleutian Islands, he felt that there must be something fishy there, so he had been hiding and not taking action, waiting for the best opportunity. Now, his dormancy has great significance.

The fighter jets from the Air Self-Defense Force's temporary base in the Aleutian Islands had just taken off for a short time when they were discovered by radar. At this time, the radar monitor in the main control room of Ship 126 hurriedly reported it.

"Captain, we have detected fighter jets taking off rapidly 185 kilometers from our ship. The number of fighter jets is increasing. Their flight path is heading northwest of our ship. We speculate that they are heading to support us."

"Captain, according to speculation, that must be the Air Self-Defense Force base on the Aleutian Islands."

Captain Cao Youren was extremely excited after hearing the news. He had only wanted to intercept the fighter jets that were coming to support him, but he never expected to actually find a big fish waiting for him.

185 kilometers is completely within the strike range of ship-borne missiles, so it naturally cannot be let go!

"Pass my order, the fleet advances at full speed!"

"Be prepared to destroy that Air Self-Defense Force base at any time!"

That’s right, Cao Youren had already made up his mind to kill and completely destroyed the temporary military base of the Air Self-Defense Force on the Aleutian Islands, leaving those fighter jets that had gone out without even a home base.

Once the goal is achieved, the fighter jets that go out will definitely encounter a situation of unstable morale. Even if they are not unwilling to fight, their combat effectiveness will decline.

"Yes, Captain!"

The signalman immediately distributed the relevant orders, and all ships belonging to the Third Combat Corps entered the first-level combat readiness state and sped up towards the target.

Seeing several fighter planes taking off, Cao Youren immediately gave another order: "Attention, all ships. The first target is the fighter planes that take off for combat! The second target is the Air Self-Defense Force base on the Aleutian Islands!"

"Fire!"

A decisive order was given, and the 10,000-ton destroyer and its four 052D ships opened fire together. Missiles were continuously fired from the vertical launch units, and the density was high enough to make people with claustrophobia sick.

Completely different from the First and Second Combat Corps, in addition to fighter jets, their targets are fixed on land, mainly airport runway radar stations, and high-value targets such as fuel depots.

Of course, this also includes important military infrastructure such as power stations on the island. One war would paralyze the Aleutian Islands and make them completely lose their combat effectiveness.

Because of this, they didn't need to hold back, and missiles were fired outwards crazily like a rainstorm.

In the first round, as many as ninety-two missiles were fired, so much so that the tail flames from the missiles almost illuminated the entire night sky, but they quickly flashed away.

After completing the turn in mid-air, it rushed towards the two targets, and its speed was so fast that it disappeared into the night sky in the blink of an eye.

The moment the missile was launched, the radar of the Air Self-Defense Force base on the Aleutian Islands captured the incoming target in the first time and issued a crazy alarm.

For a moment, the entire command center was shrouded in a very tense atmosphere.

"General, radar detected incoming missiles 185 kilometers south of our unit, at a speed of Mach 2.3, 3, 8, 12, no, oh my god, too many."

Seeing the large number of incoming missiles appearing on the radar screen, the radar monitor was completely numb and couldn't count them at all. Everyone in the command center was shocked.

"Report to the general, there are too many incoming missiles. According to the radar, our unit will be attacked by missiles in four minutes!"

After the radar monitor saw the key data clearly, he reported it immediately.

The distance is 185 kilometers. If we calculate based on the speed of the incoming missile at Mach 2.3, it can fly 782 meters in one second, which means that after 243 seconds, the missile will be able to cause damage to the base.

Base commander Hayashi Yaichiro felt his entire head was buzzing. There were only more than four minutes left, and they didn't have much time left.

The order had just been issued to the fleet where the Kitakaze destroyer was located on the front line. Who would have thought that their Aleutian Islands military base would be attacked by missiles?

After a moment he shuddered all over, realizing that he was being targeted and ambushed!

He hurried to the radar display to check it out. Seeing the densely packed cursors moving quickly on it, he suddenly felt dizzy. There were so many of them that cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

According to the number of targets displayed on the radar, it reached a terrifying number of 92. This is too terrifying, and they are closing the distance with the base at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It is obvious that this time the temporary base is doomed and has been targeted by the Longxia Navy!

After calming down, Lin Yayilang immediately gave an order: "Order, the second combat formation will take off immediately, and the third combat formation will take off immediately."

"Order, air defense forces enter level one combat readiness and intercept incoming targets with all their might!"

The signalman immediately distributed the relevant orders, and for a moment the entire base became extremely busy.

This also means that war broke out on two battlefields at the same time within the East Desert Sea!

On the other side, about 250 kilometers away from the Maritime Self-Defense Force's aircraft carrier fleet, the Enterprise nuclear-powered aircraft carrier battle group of the Eagle Tribe's Seventh Fleet was still cruising there.

Captain Willis, who was in the main control room of the aircraft carrier, suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness for no apparent reason, as if a major and unfortunate accident had occurred and he was not aware of it.

Taking a deep breath, he quickly came to the radar screen and stared at it for a while. Within the 400-kilometer monitoring range, it was very clean and there was nothing abnormal.

The early warning aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft did not detect any unusual movements in the surrounding area, and did not find a single hair of the Longxia Navy fleet, which means that nothing happened.

It was really too peaceful, which made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

"It's really too quiet. This is wrong."

"There's nothing going on around me, so why am I so panicked?"

Willis frowned and muttered to himself. Even if he racked his brains, he couldn't find the root of the problem, which really distressed him.

"Captain, what happened? We didn't find anything unusual around us!" The deputy captain frowned and asked in confusion.

The first battlefield was more than 500 kilometers away from them. If it were not for the strategic contraction, according to the original combat radius of 800 kilometers, they would be able to discover the situation as soon as the war broke out.

However, Willis chose to act cautiously this time, so that they knew nothing about the war more than 400 kilometers away.

"No, something must be wrong!"

Willis knitted his brows tightly together, constantly calculating various possibilities in his mind. In the end, he found that all the pre-war deployments had no loopholes and could even be said to be foolproof.

The moment this thought came into my mind, someone in the main control room suddenly shouted loudly.

"Look, look, there's a fire over there..."

Everyone hurriedly looked towards the porthole, and sure enough, at the end of their sight, a faint light flashed quickly! The night sky swallowed up the sea again, as if it was going to swallow everything.

Everyone was shocked. They could actually see a faint light even though they were almost 500 kilometers away.

There must be flames shooting up into the sky in the distance, otherwise it would be impossible for the light to shine so far and for them to see the flash.

"Captain..."

The deputy captain quickly turned his head to look at Willis, and his voice trembled.

"The war has begun!"

Willis, who had reacted, interrupted the deputy captain and said, "No wonder I felt something was wrong just now. You're right, the war must have started. I didn't expect it to start so early."

The deputy captain also reacted and was extremely shocked: "Yes, the war has begun!"

Why did the war start so soon? Shouldn't we wait a little longer?

Does Donghuang Haizi have any sense of time? There is still so much time before the agreed time for the war. Can't he wait any longer? Isn't this really too stupid?

Willis's forehead was bulging with blue veins, and he said very dissatisfiedly: "Damn bastard. Contact Matsuda Chiaki immediately and ask him why he started the war so long in advance? They didn't even inform us. Are the two sides still a coalition?"

That's right, he is very angry now, even furious.

The aircraft carrier fleet of the Donghuang tribe suddenly went to war with the Longxia Navy without any previous warning and without even fulfilling the obligation to inform. It was extremely absurd and further disrupted his deployment.

He definitely didn't take the Eagle Tribe garrison seriously, he was really lawless!
