Me, The Station Reporter

As the USS Russell was sunk, another warship in the Fifth Fleet also suffered, a 4,000-ton frigate.

Its luck was a bit unlucky. Due to its small tonnage, its ability to withstand beatings was very poor. With just two missiles, the nearly 100-meter-long steel hull was directly blown into three pieces.

It can be seen that on the sea, the warship continued to sink, and was eventually swallowed by the sea water, returning to the embrace of the sea.

Suddenly, explosions, wails, screams, and curses sounded on the warships of the Fifth Fleet, and they suffered a heavy blow.

With just two waves of missile attacks, the Fifth Fleet was able to sink two warships, while other warships that were not sunk also suffered various hull damages.

Looking at the Universal Fleet on the other side, although the Universal Fleet struck preemptively, the Fifth Fleet also reacted very quickly. It fired various missiles and naval guns, which also caused considerable damage to the Universal Fleet.

A Burmese-class frigate with a full tonnage of 7,500 tons was hit by three missiles. Its hull was severely damaged. Although it did not sink and disintegrate, it also lost its combat effectiveness.

Just after the two waves of missiles exchanged blows, in the sky, the carrier-based fighter jets of both sides had already encountered each other.

Looking up at the sky, you can see that nearly a hundred carrier-based fighters are all over the sky. They are like eagles in the blue sky, strangled together fiercely.

From God's perspective, one of the largest air battles in modern times was unfolding in this blue sky.

Da da da!

Some airborne cannons were spitting fire and kept ringing, making bullet marks that pierced the sky and crisscrossed the sky.

In the blink of an eye, a US-based Hornet carrier-based fighter jet escaped an air-to-air missile attack, but behind it, a shuttle of cannon shells hit its wing.

In an instant, the Hornet carrier-based aircraft lost its balance at high altitude, kept spinning and flying, and finally fell into the sea.

Seeing that a Hornet carrier-based aircraft was destroyed, a clone flying an Eagle fighter smiled cruelly: "That's it? Are you still worthy of fighting us?"

Subsequently, the clone controlled his own fighter plane, rushed towards the F35 Joint Fighter Jet nearest to him, and quickly launched an air-to-air tracking missile.

However, this clone was a little arrogant. The pilot of this F35 joint fighter jet was very experienced in combat. He turned sideways to avoid the tracking missile and quickly counterattacked with the cannon under the wing.

"F~"..." After the clone piloting the Eagle fighter exclaimed, he directly chose to parachute.

Sure enough, the tail wing of the Eagle fighter was hit by a cannon shell, and the power system collapsed instantly.

Immediately afterwards, a missile also hit it.

With a roar, the Flying Eagle fighter jet was unfortunately blown up in the air, with parts flying in the sky shooting out in all directions.

boom!

There was another explosion, and another Eagle fighter achieved victory. It directly turned an F22 Raptor into a fireball.

In less than five minutes, at least ten fighter planes from both sides were destroyed.

Among these destroyed fighters, there were both carrier-based aircraft from the Fifth Fleet and carrier-based aircraft from the Universal Fleet.

In general, the Fifth Fleet's fighter planes suffered heavy losses.

While the two fighters were fighting, the Universal Fleet and the Fifth Fleet on the sea were also bombarding them fiercely.

At this moment, the two fleets are only 25 nautical miles apart. Various types of missiles and naval gun shells are constantly bombarding the other side's ships. The key target of both sides is the other side's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

Looking down from the sky, the first thing that comes into view is the swarms of fighter planes. They fill the blue sky and lock the enemy fighters with various attack firepower.

Airborne cannons, airborne missiles, etc. are flying in the sky as if they are free.

On the sea below, separated by the majestic sea, one after another ship-to-ship missiles, air-to-air missiles, etc., dragging long red tail lights [enemy ship maintenance bombardment]

Suddenly, there were explosions everywhere, both in the sky and on the sea. From time to time, fighter planes were shot down, and from time to time, large warships were hit.

When the two sides fought for 25 minutes, Zhang Zhenhai observed the situation of the Universal Fleet through the command ship.

It can be seen that many warships were injured, and even the flagship Chengfeng-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier was hit by missiles.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Zhenhai frowned and said through the communicator: "What are the losses of our ships and carrier-based aircraft?"

"Reporting to the commander, none of our ships have sunk yet, but the Burmese Rain No. 1 frigate has lost its combat effectiveness. In addition, seven of our carrier-based aircraft have been shot down." A staff member responsible for collecting battlefield intelligence said, He answered quickly.

"The losses are so... big." Zhang Zhenhai had a headache. It had only been a short time since the battle started. It hadn't even been half an hour, and the combat effectiveness of the Universal Fleet had dropped by at least one-tenth.

You know, the Universal Fleet struck preemptively, but the result of this loss exceeded Zhang Zhenhai's expectations.

It can be seen from this that the combat quality of the Fifth Fleet is still good, and the title of the world's number one navy is not for nothing.

On the other side, in the command room of the Fifth Fleet command ship, Williamt was also listening to the fleet's losses.

A naval staff officer said with a pale face: "Your Excellency, Lieutenant General, our navy sank a USS Russell destroyer and a Perry-class frigate.

Two more of our warships have lost their combat effectiveness, and four warships have suffered heavy damage. Even the USS Ford aircraft carrier was severely damaged, and the flight deck was widely shattered. At the same time, 14 of our fighters that had taken off were shot down, including two fifth-generation fighters.

Upon hearing such words, Williamt's face became gloomy and veins popped up on his forehead.

As for Captain Davis, his expression was even more miserable, as if a relative had died, and he was extremely mournful.

The Fifth Fleet was sunk two warships, one of which was an Aegis ship, and 14 fighter jets were destroyed, including two fifth-generation fighters. In addition, even the flight of the Ford The deck was also extensively shattered.

If calculated this way, the Fifth Fleet has lost a quarter of its combat effectiveness.

If measured in terms of economic losses, this is at least a loss of billions of meters of gold.

"...々Retreat, retreat" William roared angrily and gave the order helplessly.

He finally figured out that the Huanyu Fleet opposite was not a novice fleet!

The coordination of all aspects of this fleet is simply flawless, even worse than theirs. This is totally unreasonable and totally unreasonable!

"Lieutenant General William, we have not achieved results yet. If we retreat like this, the Navy Department will take us to court." Davis yelled in panic.

Previously, in order to apply for wartime command authority, William had promised the Ministry of National Defense that the Fifth Fleet would soon defeat the Universal Fleet.

Now, the result of the naval battle is completely reversed. The Fifth Fleet is obviously at a disadvantage and is even about to enter a one-sided situation.

"We can't continue the fight. If the Warrior and the Ford are sunk, who can bear the consequences?" Willamette ignored the panicked Davis and issued a retreat order.

It should be noted that the USS Warrior is a nuclear-powered cruiser and the most powerful cruiser in the US Navy, while the USS Ford is a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier [also the most powerful aircraft carrier in the US Navy.

If these two warships are sunk, how can the United Navy gain a foothold among the navies of other countries?

Moreover, judging from the current battle situation, the Fifth Fleet is obviously at a disadvantage, and continuing to fight will only lead to greater losses, so Williamt chose to retreat in order to minimize the losses.
