The nuclear submarine combat staff officer next to him reminded: "Could it be that the terrain in the S valley is too complicated and the sound wave deformation is too great, so the computer and people have misjudged?" ”

The captain of the US nuclear submarine did not rebuke in a good voice: "Who doesn't know that the terrain is complicated? It is precisely because of the complexity that we stayed here and did not rush in, they only need to monitor the area below us, as long as they monitor the area at a depth of 100 meters, no one wants them to keep an eye on the Qiē in the valley bottom, as long as they don't let them run out of the valley. It's an easy task, right? ”

Indeed, if you only monitor the lower part of the position of their submarine, as long as you monitor the area at a depth of 100 meters below sea level, it is still very simple, as for the enemy to go around in circles or dance in the valley bottom, they will not dare, and when the opponent's battery power is exhausted and the air is exhausted, they will have to surrender obediently, or sink themselves to the bottom of the sea.

In the captain's opinion, their "San Juan" nuclear submarine does not need to be so nervous at all, and there is no need to rush to destroy the other party.

Grinding time? Hehe, the last thing a nuclear submarine is afraid of is grinding time, it can stay under the bottom of the sea all the time, can you do it with a conventional submarine?

The chief of staff was already very dissatisfied with the fact that the combat staff officer began to take the opportunity of reprimanding the junior officer to ridicule him, and at this time he also criticized the author and staff officer in a down-to-earth manner: "These people just love to show themselves, and they always think that they are great. As everyone knows, they are so nervous and led by the nose by the enemy, in fact, they have fallen into the enemy's strategy. The enemy wants us to leave here, to lead us to other places, so that they can escape from here......"

As if to confirm the words of the chief of staff, the sonar room reported a message: "Enemy submarines are returning. Speed 14 knots, depth 200 ......"

The captain glanced disapprovingly at the combat staff officer. said: "This is obviously the enemy's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain. I almost ......" At this point, he stopped his mouth, picked up the microphone in annoyance, and ordered the sonar room, "As long as the enemy ship is monitored and does not escape from under us, and does not float above a hundred and fifty meters, ignore it." Don't be fooled by the enemy's tricks! ”

Without floating to 150 meters, the Chinese submarine will not be able to escape except from the valley mouth controlled by the "San Juan" nuclear submarine, because the depth of the sea water in no other place exceeds 150 meters.

The officer in the sonar room knew that the captain was angry. But he felt that he was innocent, and such a report shows that he is conscientious, who knows what the other party is doing, how to count jù so messy.

Although the captain ordered them to monitor the enemy submarine and not to flee from the valley mouth in front of them, as long as to monitor whether the enemy had risen to a depth of one hundred and fifty meters, they still carefully monitored the enemy submarine that was steadily advancing at a speed of fourteen knots.

Slowly, the sonar crews discovered the anomaly, because the submarine was sailing too smoothly and too well-behaved.

The sonar soldier on duty felt more and more strange in his heart: "Do they know that we don't go to them now, and they sail so unscrupulously?" They are not immortals, how can they know that we don't care about their private actions now? ......, could it be that they fired acoustic decoy torpedoes? ”

I endured it for a long time. Anyway, the sonar soldier decided to report to the commander: "Report to the commander, I suspect that the other side fired an acoustic decoy torpedo. That's what we're monitoring now, and the real submarine isn't in our surveillance. ”

The sonar commander said a little annoyed: "Don't worry about so much, as long as they don't run out and don't float to a depth of one hundred and fifty meters, they can let them toss as much as they want to toss in the valley bottom." ”

Having said that, the sonar commander still picked up the headset to join the monitoring, after all, this is a matter of human life, and you can't really perfunctory because the superior commander is unhappy. If something really happens, if you are really hit by the enemy, it will not only be the commander who will die, but also the bottom of the sea, even faster than the high-ranking officials.

He listened for a few seconds, and he also felt that the enemy's submarine was sailing too well, the speed was the same, the depth was the same, the direction was the same, and even the noise level did not change. ”

He was about to report to the officer in the control tower, but the thought of such a report was tantamount to saying that his sonar room had made a mistake in judgment before, and it was tantamount to giving the captain another excuse to scold himself: how could he be so stupid, false alarm again and again?

While he was hesitating about how to report, the voice in his headphones suddenly disappeared.

Now the sonar commander does not know whether the noise just now is a sound decoy torpedo: while a sound decoy torpedo can also be abruptly interrupted to make noise, it is more likely that the submarine will do so - stop.

He didn't know how to be sure, he turned his head to look at the sonar soldier on duty, the sonar soldier was not a god, although he thought in his heart that the noise just now was a sound decoy torpedo, but thinking that there was a possibility that it was indeed a submarine, he didn't dare to draw conclusions lightly, so he had to shake his head lightly at his boss in shame, shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know, regret.

The commander had no choice but to continue to make the determination according to his previous judgment, and reported the location where the sound stopped to the conning tower as the location of the enemy submarine's stationary position.

Seeing the report from the sonar room, the commanders all had expressions on their faces.

The chief of staff said with a smile: "The Chinese really can't hold their breath, how long has it been impatient?" Don't you know that hunters have to wait patiently after setting a trap, and they have to lurk next to the trap for a long time? Such an anxious hunter is really not a good hunter, hehe. I thought they would have to wait two or three days, and then trick us into trickery when we were careless. The Chinese submarine is really not yet passing, when our students are not qualified enough, they are too impatient. ”

Several of the senior officers burst out laughing.

While the senior officers on board the USS San Juan were laughing lightly, the 031 submarine had kept the engine output at one-tenth of the standard output, and it was itself a high-level submarine with a silent design, so it made very little noise.

In order to traverse the immediate threat zone more safely, 031 had to risk rising to a depth of 180 meters, using the inertia of the submarine to navigate through the rocks. Although inertia is more difficult to control than power, it is much easier to control than being pushed purely by warm currents, and it can also make small turns, floats, and descends. But you can't reverse, and you can't accelerate.

If they hadn't run here twice in the previous two days, if they hadn't known that there were several caves that could be crossed, if they hadn't gone through many difficult training sessions near the Night Pearl Island in the Pacific, they wouldn't have been able to cross this place.

It is precisely because it is so difficult to cross that the US nuclear submarine cannot cross without the threat of the enemy even if it is powered by power, so the other side is so relieved, thinking that this is a dead place where no submarine can pass.

When the inertia of the No. 031 submarine was about to be exhausted, and there were still several hundred meters of dangerous road to be completed, Ma Yanshu had to take the risk of increasing the output power of the engine, so that he could avoid a few boulders, and stood up and almost rubbed the stones, which made the officers and soldiers in the sonar room break out in a few cold sweats.

"Hey, it's finally out!" Ma Yanshu, who had been silent and stood up straight, sat down on the chair with a long sigh, and said to Jiang Haitao, "Captain, you come, I have to take a rest." ”

Jiang Haitao smiled, gave Ma Yanshu a thumbs up, then turned on the horn of the whole boat, and said in a deep voice: "Comrades, please continue to be quiet." We have already made the most dangerous part of the area under the command of Chief of Staff Ma Yanshu, and now we are entering the flat area, but we must rise to a height of a hundred meters, and the slightest sound may be lost, so please be quiet. Because the submarine is then propelled entirely by warm currents, we can only allow the submarine to run averse, sway, or roll until the enemy's submarine is within our optimal range before we regain power. ”

Then, he sternly ordered: "Now I order: the submarine begins to inflate the watertight box!" …… Main engine down! ......, stop inflating! …… Turn off the auxiliary engine! …… Anyone stops moving! …… Turn off the main light! ……”

As his order was given, the submarine slowly floated up, and when it reached a depth of only ninety-five meters above the water, it was suspended, and the entire submarine was silent, except for a few small emergency lights and the fire control computer of the control tower, the rest of the place was pitch black, and the whole submarine looked like a huge piece of wood from the outside.

The huge piece of wood tumbled and drifted with the current.

Because the submarine did not make any sound, it was not monitored by the passive sonar and towed sonar of the "San Juan" nuclear submarine when it floated up to about 100 meters.

The nuclear submarine "San Juan" did not know that death was approaching at all, they were still complacent, they were still imagining when the Chinese submarine in the valley would force them out of the water, and they were still laughing at the officers and men of the Chinese submarine who were stupidly waiting for them to jump into the trap.

An hour has passed, and another hour has passed, and it is still a qiē......

"Hehe, the Chinese are really learning to be obedient. It's been a long time since I've used a scam. The operational staff officer looked at the computer screen connected to the sonar room, which was empty, showing information from hours earlier.

The captain smiled: "It seems that they have really learned who has the best patience and who will win in the end." ”

The chief of staff looked deep, and asked the captain: "They don't move, are we making a little noise?" At least make them nervous. ”

The captain asked, "Are you a little uneasy?" Want to unleash a few active sonar buoys and take a picture of your surroundings? ”
