During the "Art Sea Retrieval" operation, the "Oregon" and 155 naval officers and soldiers disappeared without leaving a trace. Snart was furious and had no choice but to angrily scold Lieutenant General Lance.
Although no debris, not even a small fragment or a piece of clothing, was found in the sea around the alien irregularity, there are countless expectant eyes behind the 155 lives, and the collection work must continue.
Maybe, there will be a miracle.
At Snett's request, the Crisis Planning Agency approved the search and rescue operation.
Soon, the Crisis Planning Agency joined forces with Country M and Country Z to jointly conduct a search and rescue operation for the "Oregon".
Three hours later, the search and rescue work began in an orderly manner...
The EP3C electronic reconnaissance aircraft, which scrambled from the USS Booker nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, conducted a grid search within a 500 nautical mile radius of the sea area where the incident occurred.
A rescue fleet composed of the "Life Boat" hospital ship, the "Mission" trimaran search and rescue ship and other auxiliary ships that set sail from the southern military port of Country Z also rushed to the sea area where the incident occurred.
Both Li Jianfeng and Snet understood that the "Oregon" may have suffered the same results as the "Nanchuan" and "Melfin", but in the face of 155 living lives, there was no reason to refuse rescue work.
The rescue fleet assembled on emergency standby 100 nautical miles away from the sea area where the alien irregularity is located. EP3C conducted a dragnet detection at an altitude of 2,000 meters, but no wreckage of the "Oregon" was found.
At the same time, the large airborne life detector conducted a two-day and night search in the sea area where the incident occurred, but no signs of life were detected.
Three days later, the rescue work had to be terminated early.
On the sea, the abyssless terrifying whirlpool in the center of the alien irregular body is still raging crazily. It stirs the surrounding seawater, forming a devil's mouth about a hundred meters in diameter, constantly devouring the surrounding water. seawater...
Huge waves rolled, black water and whitecaps intertwined, and the roar resounded throughout the sky...
Above the whirlpool, the huge eye of the storm is like the eye of hell, dark and terrifying. It rotates, constantly stirring the surrounding air and accreting towards its center. The skyline is colorful, and strange clouds are steaming and glowing. , Waves and clouds are strange...
The vortex stirred the sea water to form a long snake-like water dragon, which extended to the center of the eye of the storm. This wildly dancing water dragon was like an umbilical cord tightly connecting two huge holes between heaven and earth, and it was ferocious. fear.
Faced with the real threat of alien irregularities, the Crisis Planning Agency mobilized elite naval and air forces from Country Z and Country M to carry out armed strikes against them, in order to achieve dialogue or strong warnings.
The two countries reached an agreement that Country M and Country Z would dispatch the "Booker" and "Yonghai" nuclear-powered aircraft carrier formations respectively to assemble in the waters 200 nautical miles away from the alien irregularity, and dispatch sea and air forces to accurately strike against it.
The strike was codenamed "Eye of the Storm" and was jointly commanded by Lieutenant General Li Jianfeng and Lieutenant General Lance.
According to the combat deployment, the two countries will dispatch advanced bombers and cooperate with carrier-based fighter jets to carry out beyond visual range attacks on alien irregularities.
As an experienced large aircraft pilot, Zhou Yun was urgently transferred to the front line. She will fly a heavy strategic bomber to participate in this operation.
The attack was divided into two echelons and three waves of attacks, with a total of 26 aircraft in the two echelons.
The first echelon is named the "Destroyer" formation, consisting of 5 F-37 "Optoelectronic" stealth carrier-based fighters, 5 J-30 stealth carrier-based fighters, and 3 Heavy Bomb-H strategic bombers, with Zhou Yun as the captain. , Lieutenant General Li Jianfeng is in charge of the command.
The second echelon is named the "Reaper" formation and consists of 5 J-30 stealth carrier-based fighters, 5 F-37 "Optoelectronic" stealth carrier-based fighters, and 3 B3 "Ghost" strategic bombers. Tom Vandy Major Si serves as the captain and Lieutenant General Lance is in charge of the command.
At the same time, a K-8000 early warning aircraft and an E3 early warning aircraft took off from the "Yonghai" and "Booker" aircraft carriers respectively. The electronic support measures (ESM) carried by the two aircraft will respectively guide the "Destroyer" formation and The "Reaper" formation carried out over-the-horizon precision strikes on targets.
At 6:15 a.m. Z time, Operation "Eye of the Storm" officially began.
In the early morning light, the morning sun slowly rose from the end of the sea, and thousands of golden lights dyed the entire turbulent sea red. The aircraft carriers "Yonghai" and "Booker" were bathed in the warm sunshine.
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed through the sky, and on the roaring sea, 13 fighter jets took off from the deck of the aircraft carrier...
They roared across the sky and reached into the sky.
After taking off from the aircraft carrier, the "Destroyer" formation flew for about 2 minutes and entered the planned attack area.
At this moment, the "Destroyer" is 50 nautical miles away from the target.
"The Destroyer has entered the scheduled attack position, please give instructions from the commander." Zhou Yun said through the communication device.
"Attack!" Li Jianfeng ordered.
"K-8000, mark target location."
"Targets: 267, 136, 45"
With the precise guidance of the K-8000 early warning aircraft, 5 F-37s and 5 J-30s formed a diamond-shaped attack formation. Each of their bomb bays spun out an AGM-129 cruise missile and a YJ-93 air-to-air missile. Surface missiles.
In an instant, 10 missiles were ejected from the belly of the aircraft, and 10 tail flames were like long snakes, drawing several beautiful arcs in the blue sky. They roared and flew towards the alien irregular body... .
"Boom boom..." 10 missiles were accurately thrown into the vortex in the irregular center. 10 towering water columns rose into the sky from the sea where they were located. A surge of tens of meters high instantly swept the vortex. Devour completely.
The sea surface was boiling. With the vortex as the center, 10 huge shock waves appeared on the sea surface one after another. The shock waves carried the waves and spread in all directions...
After the 10 missile attacks, 216 S-11 cluster bombs and 3 heavy armor-piercing bombs with a yield of 1 million tons each were dropped from 3 Heavy Bomber-H strategic bombers, accurately dropping into the center of the vortex.
The moment the 216 cluster bombs approached the whirlpool, hundreds of 10-meter-high explosion points were aroused on the water. For a moment, water columns rose into the sky, majestic and spectacular, and the water waves they aroused exploded at the same time like the roar of thousands of horses.
Two seconds later, three heavy-duty armor-piercing bombs of 1 million tons each drilled into the center of the whirlpool like sharp arrows. After a brief silence, three water masses that covered the sky and covered the sun rose into the sky from the center of the whirlpool.
A thousand-meter-high mushroom bubble composed of water waves formed in the air, and the center of the mushroom bubble directly swallowed up the eye of the storm.
"Buzzing..." The vortex and the eye of the storm made a huge roar. Along with the harsh and deep roar, the vortex and the eye of the storm began to expand dramatically, and the centers of the two began to rotate violently...
The surging torrents and restless cyclones are accreting crazily toward the center. They are like a greedy devil, constantly devouring the surrounding water and air...
The water dragon connecting the vortex and the eye of the storm twisted crazily in the air, and the surrounding water waves were violently swept in by it. With a shrill neighing sound, its size violently expanded...
In the joint command hall, Li Jianfeng and Lance stared intently at the surveillance footage returned by the space-based satellite. Facing the ever-expanding vortex and eye of the storm, as well as the dancing dragon that was crazily accreting seawater, the two of them His face was solemn.
"Our attack may have angered the alien irregularities." Lance muttered with a heavy face.
"Lieutenant General Lance, order the second echelon of reapers to enter the attack position!" Li Jianfeng said calmly with bright eyes.
"What?" Lance looked at Li Jianfeng in surprise, pointing his finger at the image returned by the space-based satellite, "It's angry and will fight back against us soon!"
"Beat the drowned dog, otherwise we will miss the opportunity to fight!"
"It's getting bigger like crazy. It should be accumulating energy. If we launch an attack at this moment, the Reaper formation will probably be wiped out!"
Li Jianfeng looked at Lance quietly. He understood that the disappearance of the "Oregon" had put him under tremendous psychological pressure, and any aggressive actions would make him timid.
But on the battlefield, the battle situation is complex and ever-changing. Maybe, the whole army will be wiped out if you are not careful, or maybe, the slightest mistake will delay the fighter opportunity.
As a wartime commander, perseverance, prudence, decisiveness, and fearlessness in the face of danger are essential qualities, but you have to take risks when you need to!
He didn't want to lose the fighter plane.
"Lieutenant General Lance, if we don't attack now, once the alien irregularities get a chance to breathe, the Destroyers and Reapers may be in greater danger!"
Lance thought for a while, nodded, and picked up the communication device: "Reaper, enter the attack position."
"The Reaper understands!"
Five seconds later, 10 missiles roared out and accurately hit the center of the vortex. Immediately afterwards, 3 heavy armor-piercing bombs were also dropped into the target one after another.
After 10 water columns soaring into the sky, another thousand-meter-high mushroom bubble formed in the air. The vortex and the eye of the storm let out a shrill roar. Their size began to expand rapidly, but their power was gradually decreasing...
Finally, 3 minutes after the attack, the vortex and the eye of the storm slowly stopped rotating. The churning water waves and surging air accumulated around them seemed to have lost their power and began to float around...
They are like a loose ball of cotton until they are completely gone.
The sea stopped raging and the whirlpool disappeared; the sky stopped surging and the eye of the storm disappeared.
The sea restored the background of raging waves, and the sky restored the original painting of white clouds.
The clouds of sadness that gathered on the faces of Li Jianfeng and Lance disappeared, replaced by calmness like relief.
