The chief of staff smiled embarrassedly and said, "I do feel a little strange that they were so impatient at the beginning, scurrying around and activating active sonar. But there was no movement at all during this period of time, and it didn't move for hours on end, isn't it too abnormal? The Chinese are the most cunning people in the world, how can they sit idly by, knowing that conventional submarines will definitely not consume nuclear submarines if it takes time, and they stay at the bottom of the sea and cannot send a message to request reinforcements. Do they really want to suffocate so silently? Impossible. ”

The captain nodded and said, "I'm sure it's a little abnormal." I think your worries are warranted. ......, anyway, we don't worry about what means they use against us, let's put an active sonar buoy first, whether we can see them or not, at least it will startle them and force them to move, in this case, will our chief of staff be relieved? ”

As the name suggests, the active sonar buoy is a buoy carrying active sonar, which is like a searchlight in the dark night, which can reveal the hidden darkness to the world, and will not only expose the "San Juan" nuclear submarine to the surrounding potential enemies, but also expose all the potential enemies around the "San Juan" nuclear submarine in the eyes of the "San Juan" nuclear submarine.

The chief of staff said in his heart: "It's really hypocritical, obviously I don't know the bottom of my heart, but I am used as a shield." ”

However, the official level crushes people to death, even if he has opinions, he can only hide them in his heart, besides, he does think that it is more practical to do so.

None of them expected that this crooked attack was right, and the 031 submarine, which was secretly approaching them, was about to show its original form......

"Report, USS San Juan nuclear submarine releases active sonar buoy! Our boat is already within its detectable range. "Although the officers and men of the sonar room of the No. 031 submarine were dizzy and flustered by the rolling and drifting of the submarine. But they dutifully listened to the movements around them. The other party is heard releasing an active sonar buoy. Immediately report to the submarine conning tower.

The officers in the submarine command tower looked at each other, they didn't expect the Yankees to come at this time, I really don't know if the other party is because the artist is bold or the commander is not confident and determined, how can it be like this and that?

Seeing the report from the sonar room, Jiang Haitao resolutely ordered to quickly start the engine, quickly load the torpedo, and quickly correct the inclined submarine. Head at the nuclear submarine "San Juan".

He knew that the active sonar buoy had to rise to the surface of the water, perform a self-test of the equipment, and then emit shè sound waves before it "illuminated" the surrounding qiē, and only then did it come into play.

At the same time, he also firmly pressed the button of the battle jǐng report, and at the same time ordered the sonar room to use the fastest speed to send shè active sonar waves at the "San Juan" nuclear submarine.

The red sèjǐng newspaper lights began to flicker rapidly, and within half a minute, all the officers and men on the submarine were on combat duty. The engine was also quickly started, and the submarine soon began to correct the already tilted body. The head quickly adjusted its direction and aimed at the American nuclear submarine in the distance.

Just when the project 031 submarine was not aimed at the nuclear submarine "San Juan". The active sonar in the sonar room has already emitted a low-frequency sound wave with huge energy, and the huge energy carried by this sound wave is like a hammer that hits the "San Juan" nuclear submarine "Tom! Tong! Tong! ……”

The effect of the sound wave hitting the hull of a submarine is like someone pounding a wall next door with a hammer weighing dozens of pounds, and even the heart is beaten wildly by the sound of the hammer.

This movement made the sonar soldier who was capturing the strange sound and was shifting his attention from the valley to the submarine almost pierce his eardrums, and involuntarily exclaimed: "Ahhh

Not only did the sonar crew on the nuclear submarine feel the huge movement behind them, but other American officers and soldiers also knew that their submarine had been locked by someone else. Locked by the opponent's active sonar, and this distance was so close, the submarine officers and men were like ashes, because they all knew that the other party could fire shè torpedoes at any time in this situation, and they could put themselves to death at any time.

In such a situation, submarine officers and men in the depths of the ocean generally have only one choice, that is, to slowly rise to the surface as if they were captured by the other side.

If it is wartime, surrender and become a prisoner. If it is usual, they can only obediently accept the opponent's photo, and the opponent looks at the tail from the buttocks, and then watches the opponent walk away.

Before the sonar room could report, the captain of the USS San Juan was furious and shouted: "How is that possible? How is this possible? This group of bastards, this group of straw bales, the enemy is under our noses, we don't even know at all, our towed sonar is useless? Are our sonar troopers dead? ”。

The chief of staff next to him also turned pale, and hurriedly asked, "Sir, what should I do?" ”

The captain angrily asked, "Stupid! What do I do, you ask? Why don't you say what to do? ......, do you want me to obediently raise my hands like a prisoner of war and order my submarine to obediently rise to the surface? Where did the submarine in the back come from, is it a nuclear submarine or a conventional submarine? ”

The chief of staff was annoyed for a while, but he still held back his anger and said: "Sir, in this case, we can only float up, we can only admit defeat to the other side, although our faces are disgraceful, but this is an international practice, haven't we forced several submarines to float before?" What is one failure? ......, you must know that once the other side thinks that we are hostile, it is likely to fire shè torpedoes and attack me. ”

The captain said angrily: "They dare! Don't they know that we are nuclear submarines of the United States? Do they dare to offend us in the United States of America? Do they want to start a world war? ......, what a fucking bunch of maniacs! No, we must fight back and sink them with the most advanced torpedo in the world, must be sunk! ”

The last two sentences undoubtedly leaked his confidence, and he was empty-hearted.

The chief of staff did not dare to show a trace of contempt, but said seriously: "Sir, this is underwater, if they sink us, we don't know who did it at all." If we fight back, let's not say whether we have a 10 percent chance of escape. And even if there were, what about the Chinese submarine that has been hiding in the valley in front of us? If they are caught between the front and back, we will have no place to bury. ”

"Leak!" The captain couldn't help but feel annoyed when he thought that he was caught under the muzzle of the submarine behind him because the Chinese submarine guarding the valley surrendered voluntarily, but in the face of possible front and rear flanking attacks, he felt even more bottomless.

The submarine coming from behind attacked with active sonar, which was obviously hostile, and the Chinese submarine in the S valley in front had long been mortal enemies with their own "San Juan" nuclear submarine, and they could really cooperate in the battle, even if they fought one, they would have earned. Even if the other party has not contacted and cooperated before, as long as the Chinese submarine in the S valley receives the sound wave from the submarine behind, it will know what is happening, and it will know that reinforcements are coming, and it will definitely rush out without hesitation.

He and his chief of staff, as well as several officers around him, did not know that the submarine behind him was the submarine they were looking for, but it was washed out by the current because even the engine was turned off.

If the American sonar soldiers at this time had listened carefully, they would have been able to hear that the voiceprints emitted by the submarines behind them were the same as the ones they had captured before. If they had listened carefully, they would have been able to hear the submarine behind them being loaded with torpedoes......

It's a pity that they didn't listen carefully, because the sound wave energy generated by the active sonar was so powerful that a loud noise not only covered up those relatively small sounds, but also made the submariners feel impetuous and flustered, and they were frustrated because they didn't find out that the other party was coming, so they missed a best opportunity.

Moreover, when the submarine is attacked by active sonar, it is customary to obediently admit defeat and wait for the submarine to surface, rather than rushing to find out the identity of the other party. Therefore, in addition to being frustrated, the American sonar soldiers at this time also have a trace of unspeakable relief, because they have already admitted defeat, and they no longer have to search for the unknown Chinese submarine in the S valley in front.

If the nuclear submarine "San Juan" had turned around as soon as it felt a submarine behind it, and then resolutely fired torpedoes at the other side, it would have been impossible to know who would have won or lost the battle.

Because the nuclear submarine "San Juan" had already loaded the torpedo into the torpedo tube when it pursued the submarine entering the valley, and had also completed the power-up of the torpedo, the self-guided torpedo only had to be filled with a few jù, while the wire-controlled torpedo could be fired immediately.

Correspondingly, the No. 031 submarine is far from being so well prepared, because when it crosses a threatening area, it may hit the messy rocks and towering mountains under the sea at any time, so it is impossible for the torpedo to be loaded into the torpedo tube, otherwise it is very likely that an explosion will occur and blow itself up.

After waiting for the threat section, the submarine No. 031 did not even dare to maintain the idle speed of the minimum power of the engine, for fear that the enemy's passive sonar would detect it, and it did not dare to do the action of loading the torpedo, and after the T-shaped opening, the submarine was pushed by the warm current and was in a completely uncontrollable state.

In other words, when the submarine 031 discovered the "San Juan" nuclear submarine firing an active sonar buoy, it had no attack capability at all, and it had to spend time restoring its power, restoring its own control, and at the same time loading torpedoes......

In a word, the time required by the 031 submarine to destroy the "San Juan" nuclear submarine at this time is much longer than the time it takes for the "San Juan" nuclear submarine to fire shè torpedoes. On the battlefield, sometimes even a second difference can make the difference between winning and losing a battle, and this is true in air battles, and even more so in submarine warfare.

The No. 031 submarine was in danger at this time, and Jiang Haitao even regretted his decision.
