Four Blue Lancer B-1B bombers are flying around the east of the island.
Miyajima, this is a direction that the red side is extremely concerned about.
Legally speaking, it belongs to a military base isolated overseas by the Blue Fang.
The blue side has many military bases on this planet, which are generally divided into permanent combat bases, forward support operations centers for temporary deployment and training, and security cooperation locations with simple facilities.
Huang Fang's Kaden Air Force Base and Miyajima belong to the first category. However, during the Cold War, Miyajima Base, which was much farther away from Huang Fang, was not very important until the 21st century. Miyajima Base located on TPY began to
become important.
This is because this is the blue team’s own base closest to the red team, and it has become an important fulcrum of the blue team’s continental rebalancing strategy, allowing it to play a key role in the blue team’s operations in the Asia-Pacific region.
Miyajima is 5,300 kilometers away from Zhenzhu Port to the east, 3,000 kilometers from Huangfang to the north, and 2,200 kilometers from Luzon to the west. An aircraft carrier fleet with Miyajima as its home port can reach the surrounding area of the N Sea within three days, which is faster than from Blue Fang.
The departure time from the San Diego Naval Base is 10-12 days faster. A submarine based on Miyajima can stay on the coast of Asia for 88 to 123 days in one year, which is three times longer than that based on the blue mainland.
This shows the importance of the strategic location of this base. Without it, it would be twice as difficult for the blue side to contain the red side's navy from leaving TPY.
The entire island of Miyajima is 549 square kilometers, a quarter of which is a blue military base, including Apra Port Naval Base and Anderson Air Force Base. It has two large runways and 40 docks, and stores 66 million gallons of aviation
It has fuel and a weapons arsenal that stores 100,000 bombs. It can support an aircraft carrier battle group and 96 fighter jets, and can accommodate up to 150 strategic bombers. It is also the Blue's only H submarine base in the Western Pacific. There are also a large number of command centers built on the island.
, communications and logistics facilities are the main logistics support center of the blue side.
However, with the development and growth of the red side's strategic missile force, it has been able to cause fatal damage to the airports and ports of the yellow side's Kashou, Sase, Okinori and other places. The blue side has done a strategic assessment and feels that it may not be able to resist this attack.
Therefore, they began to reorganize their military resources and move some of the troops and facilities stationed on the Yellow side to Miyajima, which is farther away, in order to reduce the losses suffered when they were attacked by a large number of missiles launched by the Red side during wartime.
But this is not a completely safe place, because the red side's missile technology has developed too fast, and now even Miyajima is a little unsafe. This is why such an important base only has 4 Lancer B-1Bs on standby.
s reason.
However, in this confrontation between the blue side and the red side, from taking advantage at the beginning to suffering a big loss now, the dream of letting the yellow side become cannon fodder has been shattered.
If the younger brother can't do it, the boss will of course have to take action himself.
What's more, the red team will no longer give the blue team the opportunity to hide behind and watch the fire from the other side.
The three formations taking off this time are all Qingyishui's B-1B Lancer long-range bombers, which are proper fighting birds among bombers.
The B-1B is known as a "heavy" bomber and is currently the top conventional bomber in active service (excluding stealth bombers).
Once upon a time, some people compared it with the Russian-made TU-160 and thought it was a strategic bomber.
In fact, the American B-1B tends to be low-altitude penetration, nuclear and conventional dual-purpose, and has high mobility. Its tactical application is greater than its strategic application.
This aircraft has a maximum takeoff weight of 216 tons and can carry about 60 tons of ammunition, including 34 tons internally and 26 tons externally. It is the bomber with the largest bomb load among currently active aircraft.
Its maximum flight speed is Mach 1.25, its maximum range is 9,400 kilometers, and its effective combat range is 7,600 kilometers when its weapon load is 16.8 tons.
Therefore, it is wrong to regard it as a strategic bomber. It is a top bomber with long range, fast speed and heavy load.
Sending three groups at once, it can be said that Long Gang has no intention of holding back anymore. Starting from the previous duel between F22A and J20 Veyron, the blue team has begun to go all out.
These three formations were also followed by an early warning aircraft to provide them with target information and guidance.
In order to achieve the best effect, this batch of B-1Bs were also fully equipped with 24 AGM-158C stealth anti-ship missiles.
They don’t want anything else. All they want is to sink a red aircraft carrier.
While the first group of B-1Bs taking off from Miyajima were waiting for the other two groups of B-1Bs taking off from Pearl Island, in the red side's intelligence and reconnaissance center, a captain in charge of long-range radar monitoring saw several people on the radar.
A small point.
These small dots are located about 1,000 kilometers west of Miyajima and seem to be flying slowly.
The lieutenant carefully retrieved the flight trajectories of these small points, and then input them into the computer to perform some calculations.
Soon, he obtained a piece of analytical data.
After reading it, he stood up and walked to his director, handing the data over for him to check.
"Director, there is movement from the blue team on Miyajima. They seem to have sent out four aircraft, which are currently flying around 1,000 kilometers east of the green team's control area. I think they seem to be waiting for something."
After reading it, the director frowned and said, "Have you checked their radar characteristics?"
"Not yet, but it must be a bomber type." said the lieutenant.
The director said: "The bombers on Miyajima... they won't send B52s... I estimate that 80% of them are the B-1Bs deployed at Anson Base."
After finishing speaking, he stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on the PAD and said: "Use satellite pictures to compare, and then look at the changes at the airport in the past few hours. Also, I will adjust a high-resolution satellite to go there and take a look.
What kind of plane is it? Keep an eye on it. If they continue to move towards D Sea or Green Island, report it to me immediately. The blue side just lost a battle in the direction of D Sea. I don’t think they will just give up.
Yeah, I guess they are making some big noise."
"Okay, I'll go back right away to find out what it is." The lieutenant turned and left.
After about ten minutes, the lieutenant came back.
"Director, it's an emergency."
The director saw that the lieutenant's face was a little nervous and there was sweat on the tip of his nose, so he said: "Why are you panicking? Leaves can't fall from the sky, and you can't smash your head!"
"It's the B-1B Lancers! And there's more than one group, there are 3 groups! Coming from three different directions, they are probably heading for the aircraft carrier formation and the landing group!"
The lieutenant handed over the PAD in his hand.
After hearing this, the director couldn't sit still anymore. He stood up, scanned it with his PAD, and his expression immediately changed.
"You immediately return to your position and continue to stare, staring to death!"
After saying that, he returned to his seat, picked up the phone, and dialed the number of the command post.
"Joint Staff Command Post? This is the information intelligence and reconnaissance center. There are major discoveries in the direction of Miyajima..."
