The Fifth Air Force is one of the four air forces under the U.S. Pacific Air Forces Command. Formerly known as the U.S. Army Air Forces in the Philippines Command established in August 1941, it was renamed the U.S. Air Force in the Far East in October. In January 1942, the 5th Air Force of the Army was established on this basis, and the first commander, Major General Breton. When the islanders provoked the Pacific War, this aviation unit participated in various wars, such as the Marshall Islands, New Guinea, Palau, Mariana and Philippine Islands. U.S. Air Force in the Far East. In July 1945, he was stationed in the island country of Okinawa and participated in the support for the landing operation on the island country. After the Korean War broke out, this air force participated in the Korean War and fought many times with Huaxia's Volunteer Army. After the smoke of the Korean War had cleared, the 5th Air Force was still stationed in the island country.

This air force has 3 wing groups under its jurisdiction. Among them, the 18th Wing is stationed at Kadena Base in Okinawa; the 35th Fighter Wing is stationed in the island country of Misawa; the 374th Airlift Wing is stationed in the island country of Yokota.

In later generations, in order to contain the emerging Huaxia, the main force of the Fifth Air Force was deployed in Okinawa to prevent the force of Huaxia from breaking through the first island chain. Now, at the height of the Cold War, the main force of the Fifth Air Force is all Deployed in Misawa, guarding against the invasion of polar bears.

The headquarters of the Fifth Air Force is located in Yokota. At this time, the commander of the Fifth Air Force, Lieutenant General Paul James, who is also the commander of the US military stationed in Japan, is frowning.

One of our own EP-3 electronic reconnaissance aircraft encountered two Soviet MiG-25 fighter jets in the northern Sea of ​​Japan, near Vladivostok. The reconnaissance plane was badly damaged and had to make an emergency landing at the Soviet air base near Chuguyevka!

When receiving this news, Lieutenant General Paul slammed a punch on the table. Damn, are the flight crew on the plane all fools? Even if it is forced to land at sea, it is better than forced landing in a Soviet base!

If it is forced to land at sea, both the air force and the navy of their own can quickly dispatch to rescue the people in distress! However, in the hands of the Soviets, the situation is different!

Now, it's already dark, and the day is over, but my side has been silent and did nothing!

"Bell..." At this moment, the phone on the table rang, Paul picked up the phone, and there was a voice from the other side of the ocean: "Lieutenant General Paul, the diplomatic progress is not good, the president ordered to put pressure on the Soviet Union from tomorrow. Be careful, don't take the initiative to fire!"

Put pressure on the Soviet Union! Now is the peak of the Cold War. Any carelessness may lead to a world war. Therefore, after receiving the news that the EP-3 was hit, Lieutenant General Paul did not order the attack immediately, but was waiting for the order, and now, With the president's order, Paul can finally start action!

On the one hand, there is diplomatic pressure to make the Soviets hand over the planes and personnel as soon as possible, and on the other hand, it is military pressure!

"Yes!" Paul put down the phone and gave his order: "Misawa Base, make preparations before the war, and the large fleet will take off immediately from tomorrow, plan No. 3!"

The third plan! The biggest threat to the U.S. military stationed in Japan is the Soviet Union. In order to deal with the Soviet Union, the U.S. military stationed in Japan has already formulated various plans. The current plan No. 3 is a plan to deter the Soviet Union's Vladivostok area!

After the President's authorization, the war machine of the US military stationed in Japan quickly started.

644 kilometers northeast of Tokyo, Misawa City, Aomori Prefecture, the northern tip of Honshu Island, Misawa Base.

It was originally just a remote and backward village. Before World War II, the islanders built coastal railways and set up stations here, and Sanze began to move towards modern civilization. Later, the island nation’s navy built a military base here, and gradually developed into the northern part of the island nation. Military town. After World War II, the United States established the Misawa Base here. Due to its suitable geographical location, it became the most important military base for the United States to check and balance the Soviet Union's Far East. It is also a military base for reconnaissance of Soviet electronic intelligence. EP-3 took off from here.

In the hangar, the fighter planes are undergoing maintenance before the attack.

The pointed nose droops a little, and behind it is a tandem two-seater cabin. The huge air intakes on both sides extend almost all the way to the rear, turning into two chrysanthemums. Above the chrysanthemums, the rear wing extends out. , especially the horizontal tails on both sides, which are folded down, and the vertical tail is surprisingly wide, which does not look like any beauty, but looks like a clown.

Even the Americans felt that this fighter was not very beautiful, so they gave it the nickname of a ghost.

This kind of fighter is the main force of the second-generation fighter in the United States, the F-4 Phantom! First of all, it was designed as a carrier-based aircraft. Therefore, all fighter aircraft are two-seat. Later, the US Air Force felt that it was good and equipped a lot of them, becoming a famous second-generation aircraft in the United States.

At this time, the third-generation aircraft of the US Air Force are still in their early stages, and the F-15, which has been flamboyant in later generations, has just delivered the first few aircraft to the US Air Force. It is impossible to equip the US military in Japan, and the F-16 with the largest output The fighter, the prototype has not yet been tested, and it is still early to equip the troops. The main force of the US Air Force is these F-4 fighters.

Now, these fighter planes belong to the 13th Fighter Squadron of the 35th Fighter Wing of the U.S. 5th Air Force at Misawa Base. All F-4 fighters are preparing for dispatch. The car moves the missile back and forth. According to the air superiority method, four AIM-7 Sparrow missiles and a sub-fuel tank will be mounted under the belly, and four AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles will be mounted on the wings on both sides, which is also standard Air Combat Mount.

The entire base was mobilized, and the flight preparation room was also brightly lit. The American pilots were conducting tactical analysis and preparing for the sortie tomorrow morning.

The pilots have high fighting spirit. They all know that an EP-3 electronic reconnaissance plane that took off from this base was coerced by the Soviet aircraft and flew to the Soviet air base!

This filled them with righteous indignation. At the height of the Cold War, they were extremely disgusted with the Soviets. In their eyes, the Soviets were the devils from the Arctic.

"Attention, we have to put maximum pressure on the Soviets, but we can't open fire first." The regiment commander said to his subordinates.
