Chapter 348 Full Deck Attack

After reconnaissance of the waters ahead of the carrier strike group, the Type 095 attack nuclear submarine continued to patrol around the area to prevent any enemies with ulterior motives from getting close.

In the western Pacific Ocean, 500 nautical miles from the sinkhole, a dual-carrier battle group that departed from Dongda University deployed in an area 200 nautical miles from the sinkhole.

Externally, Type 054A and Type 054B frigates form the outer air defense identification circle, while internally, several Type 055 destroyers serve as command nodes, each responsible for defense in a specific direction. Meanwhile, Type 052D destroyers work in conjunction with the Type 055s to supplement any enemies that the Type 055s might miss.

At the very center are the two aircraft carriers of the University of Tokyo, 002 and 003.

Liu Jun was unaware of what was happening on the 002 side, as the two sides were quite far apart. However, on the flight deck of 003, J-15Ts, J-15Ss, and J-35s were being transferred from the hangar to the deck.

Ammunition elevators transport large quantities of ammunition from the ammunition depot to the deck, where ground crew push ammunition carts to load ammunition onto carrier-based aircraft moored in the maintenance area.

One by one, PL15 missiles with replaced guidance heads were mounted on the pylons and electrically connected to the fighter jet. The loader then swiped the 30mm cannons into the fuselage bomb bay to load them.

In Liu Jun's view, the flight deck is now like a bustling market, with all the ground crew busy preparing for the upcoming battle.

Liu Jun walked towards the mission briefing room, waiting for his superiors to explain the mission. Judging from the scale of the operation, it was definitely not a simple task.

Upon entering the briefing room, I took my usual corner seat and noticed that the other pilots were watching me; no one was sitting in the front row.

Liu Jun had no choice but to get up and sit in the first row, the seat closest to the wing commander. The other pilots sat around him, with the younger ones sitting behind him.

It was only then that Liu Jun realized that, without realizing it, he had also become a benchmark.

Everyone sat down, and soon the wing commander and political instructor strode into the briefing room. After entering, they looked at the pilots with serious expressions, wondering how many would return alive after this operation.

After scanning everyone, his gaze settled on Liu Jun, lingering for two seconds. He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:
"In 48 hours, we will carry out the mission from our superiors, a campaign-level mission, with the entire deck deployed."

Upon hearing the call for a full deck sortie, the pilots present were taken aback, then felt a heavy pressure on their shoulders.

Full-deck sortie is a special attack mode for aircraft carriers, which means that in order to pursue maximum attack power, almost all the aircraft carried by the aircraft carrier are arranged and parked on the flight deck, fully fueled and loaded with ammunition, and then all of them take off at once.

The full-deck attack tactic has actually been practiced by the University of Tokyo. In one training exercise, the Liaoning aircraft carrier deployed 24 J-15 fighter jets on its deck, demonstrating its powerful attack capability.

On the fifth anniversary of the Shandong aircraft carrier's commissioning, a spectacular scene of full-deck attack was staged, with 20 J-15 fighters taking off in a short period of time, demonstrating amazing combat capabilities.

The Fujian aircraft carrier features a flat, full-length flight deck and electromagnetic catapults, which maximizes the implementation of the carrier's all-deck attack principle.

In other words, while full-deck sorties are not unfamiliar to pilots, the application of this tactic in actual combat, this attack method that can quickly form a powerful air force, plays a crucial role in the outcome of a battle. This means that this mission is definitely not ordinary.

The wing commander's next words proved the pilots' conjecture: "Fly over the crater and launch a saturation nuclear strike on the homeland of an alien civilization."

Hearing the wing commander's words, the pilots' expressions immediately turned serious. Carrying nuclear weapons was a training exercise for carrier-based pilots, but only a handful of pilots were authorized to carry nuclear weapons.

However, in war, authority can be amplified to an unlimited extent, so it is not surprising that ordinary pilots carry nuclear weapons. But—allowing a large number of pilots to carry nuclear weapons in combat means that the war has entered a stage where there is no room for negotiation.

Either the enemy will be wiped out by nuclear bombs, or Tokyo University will run out of nuclear weapons.

"The operation begins with the domestic Rocket Force launching the first wave of strikes, using ballistic missiles to saturate the enemy forces surrounding the sinkhole and destroy its defensive capabilities."

As he spoke, the air wing commander drew diagrams of multiple attack clusters on the whiteboard. "After the Rocket Force conducts a saturation attack on the area around the sinkhole, the Type 055 destroyer will lead the charge to penetrate into the vicinity of the sinkhole, opening an attack channel for us."

"Finally, the attack cluster moved to the other side of the sinkhole to launch a nuclear strike on the alien civilization's homeland."

The pilots present were intently taking notes of the mission endpoint as stated by the wing commander.

Liu Jun roughly understood the idea of ​​launching a nuclear strike against the alien homeland, because he successfully came alive from the other side of the "door" and then brought back various information such as atmospheric data, environment, and planetary gravity from the other side of the door.

The higher-ups must have used this information to conduct simulations before formulating this campaign-level operation.

However, to fly to the other side and launch a nuclear strike, Tokyo University really wants to destroy the alien civilization's industrial, technological, and human war potential. Moreover, there is no nuclear weapons treaty between the two sides, so they can completely unleash their power to strike the other side.

But is it really that simple?

As Liu Jun pondered, the campaign-level briefing ended, and the pilots left one after another, leaving Liu Jun alone as usual.

After all the pilots left, one pilot closed the door from the outside, leaving only Liu Jun and the wing commander.

"Captain"

Liu Jun looked at the regimental commander, waiting for him to give him some special tasks.

"This operation is just a cover."

After everyone had left, the regimental commander spoke directly.

cover up?

"The focus of this operation is you, Comrade Liu Jun."

After speaking, the regimental commander took out an order bearing the seal of the Central Military Commission from a thick stack of documents.

Looking at the task list, Liu Jun was stunned. He looked up at the regimental commander, never expecting that such an important order would be given to him!
"Don't tell anyone!"

"understand!"

After the briefing ended, Liu Jun walked out of the briefing room and let out a long sigh of relief.

As expected, Tokyo University's strategy was swift, accurate, and ruthless!

Meanwhile, within a strategic research department at Dongda University, several senior leaders looked solemnly at the results released by the think tank.

Currently, humanity has only been fighting with extraterrestrial civilizations for a few years. It seems that the war has caused a significant outward impact in various aspects, including the economy, culture, military, and discourse.

But this is only the surface, because there are limits to this side of the Earth!

Large countries can quickly erupt into war, and surrounding smaller countries also gravitate towards the East in order to survive.

But! These are just the surface levels. There's only one University of Tokyo on Earth! What about the areas that can't be taken care of?
