Volume 3 The Storms of the East China Sea Chapter 28 The Battle of the Assassins
With the roaring sound of deep bomb explosions, except for Hua Jianfeng, there was a creepy feeling on the "Swordfish".
"The sea must be very lively" Le Jiacheng squeezed out a smile, trying to ease the tense atmosphere
"Money, depth charges are bought with money!" Hua Jianfeng smiled and shook his head, "The one who commanded the fleet to fight must be Lin Xiaolei's 'loser', and only he was willing to throw depth charges."
Le Jiacheng also smiled and shook his head
After the end of the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, the Navy of the Republic spent half a year summing up lessons and lessons Lin Xiaolei became famous in the first war, and his "big spending" when launching the second round of missile attacks was also controversial; although the Navy did not deduct Lin Xiaolei's allowance for this, but instead gave him the rank of lieutenant general, whether or not to spend dozens of expensive anti-ship missiles to deal with several warships that were destined to sink has always been a focus of discussion among naval officers and men
From then on, the officers and men privately jokingly called Lin Xiaolei a "loser" of the navy
"Report, just received telegram"
Hua Jianfeng was startled and took the telegram from the communications officer
"Combat orders?"
Hua Jianfeng nodded and handed the message to Le Jiacheng
The content is simple, there are only a few: "Plan B"
Le Jiacheng hesitated for a moment, went to store the battle plan, and brought a few pages of documents from the safe
Two days ago, the "Swordfish" received an order to float to the depth of the periscope and use a satellite communication antenna to receive three combat orders, and then the "Swordfish" returned to the deep sea and lurked in the waters northeast of the Diaoyu Islands
Of the three orders, Plan B is the most special
You don't need to look at Hua Jianfeng to know that the General Staff let the "Swordfish" carry out a free hunting mission, but the hunting object is limited to Japanese submarines
"Dealing with Japanese submarines" Le Jiacheng quickly flipped through the documents: "War broke out?" ”
"Maybe it's not sure yet," Hua Jianfeng felt in his pocket for a while and found that he had forgotten his cigarette in the cabin, "If war has broken out, our first task is to attack the Japanese Fourth Fleet, which is close at hand, and of course it is not ruled out that the General Staff will arrange other forces to deal with the Fourth Fleet, and we will deal with the Japanese submarines."
"Maybe it's just a lesson for us to teach little Japan"
Hua Jianfeng nodded and walked to the side of the tactical command platform
After the large-scale refit, the area of the command center of the "Swordfish" has been doubled, two new monitors have been added to the tactical command platform, and the main display has been increased from 24 inches to 42 The biggest change is that all tactical information can be displayed on three screens for the reference of submarine commanders, including captain, deputy captain, chief engineer and other officers
The battlefield situation shown on the screen is very clear
The East China Sea Fleet was in the southeast direction, fourteen warships lined up in a column, sailing in a direction of 16 degrees at a speed of 290 knots, the Japanese Fourth Fleet was in the northeast direction, the queue was chaotic, the aviation anti-submarine destroyer with two air defense destroyers was in the center of the queue, and the universal destroyers were distributed around
Hua Jianfeng was not afraid of Japanese warships, but about anti-submarine helicopters in the air
The Fourth Fleet is nominally the "Ninety Fleet," but in fact it has 12 planes, and the "Swordfish" is less than 10 nautical miles away from the Japanese Fourth Fleet, and as long as its whereabouts are exposed, anti-submarine helicopters can arrive within 5 minutes, and in this case, the chance of the "Swordfish" successfully evacuating will not exceed 50 percent
The complex battlefield environment also made Hua Jianfeng feel a headache
In addition to Japan's anti-submarine helicopters, there are also anti-submarine helicopters of the East China Sea Fleet; although under the entanglement of our forces, it is difficult for Japan's anti-submarine helicopters to carry out the task of searching for submarines and attacking submarines, but as long as the "Swordfish" launches a torpedo to attack a Japanese submarine, the Fourth Fleet will retaliate, use the sonar on the destroyer to look for the "Swordfish," and then use rocket-boosted anti-submarine torpedoes, or aviation anti-submarine torpedoes carried by helicopters to attack the "Swordfish."
Thinking about the retreat method before the start of the battle is the basic tactical idea of every submarine commander
"Adopt a two-stage speed, automatic attack mode" Le Jiacheng is also thinking about this problem, "After firing the torpedo, we immediately leave the battlefield"
"The effect of such an attack will not be much better"
Hua Jianfeng rubbed his forehead, and his gaze fell on the tactical screen again
The situation under the sea surface is also very complicated, and after arriving at the battlefield, with the better performance of the sideboard passive sonar, the "Swordfish" discovered 9 submarines before releasing the towed sonar, including the 2093-class attack nuclear submarine, the AIP conventional submarine of the 3rd Republic Navy, and the other 4 are the "Qinshio" class conventional submarines of the Japanese Navy A few hours ago, the "Swordfish" released a towed sonar and discovered a +95 attack nuclear submarine lurking nearby
After the encounter between the East China Sea Fleet and the Japanese Fourth Fleet, the Swordfish withdrew its towed sonar
At this time, in addition to not knowing the whereabouts of the +95 attack nuclear submarine, the other 9 submarines have been under the surveillance of the "Swordfish".
Counting the "Swordfish" and the untraceable 095, there are a total of 11 submarines within 40 nautical miles!
This is equivalent to throwing 11 crabs into a bathtub, let alone launching an attack, and even if you move down, it will be easy to be detected by a nearby submarine
Before the torpedo was fired, the noise from filling the torpedo tubes with water was enough to cause the Swordfish to explode
To fight, or not to fight?
Hua Jianfeng took a long breath and said, "How many days can you drink the beer in the freezer?" ”
Le Jiacheng hesitated for a moment and said, "Why are you asking this if you can't finish it in a month?" ”
"Since there is food and drink, there is no need to rush to start" Hua Jianfeng stretched his waist, "Let's give everyone a glass of beer, let's wait slowly"
Le Jiacheng hesitated for a moment and ordered the chief engineer to go to the kitchen to prepare beer
As early as a few years ago, Japan began to build conventional submarines equipped with AIP systems, and the addition of AIP systems to submarines that have been completed and put into service is probably too much money to spend, Japan's submarines use two completely different AIP systems, the new "Xishio" class uses oxygen ion membrane fuel cells from Germany, and the modified "Qinchao" class submarines use the "Stirling" closed-cycle diesel engine from Sweden
The AIP system gives conventional submarines a powerful underwater endurance
It's just that conventional submarines will always be conventional submarines, and their underwater navigation capabilities cannot be compared with nuclear submarines, and even the "Swordfish" all-electric submarine is not comparable to whether it is a hydroxide ion membrane fuel cell or a "Stirling" engine, at most a conventional submarine can dive underwater for two to three weeks, and the sailing speed is less than 4 more
If you want to dive faster, you have to use the batteries on the submarine
The conflict broke out on July 10, the Japanese submarine left the port on July 711, and reached the vicinity of the Diaoyu Islands one after another between July 14 and 15, during which time it did not surface the sea, from which it can be calculated that the Japanese submarine must have used batteries, and after speeding up the crossing and reaching the war zone, the Japanese submarine must have reduced its speed to less than 2, and charged the battery with the AIP system in order to reach the maximum diving speed in an emergency
Under these circumstances, the Japanese submarines would stay in the war zone for a maximum of 34 days before returning home
Time has passed 2, and for Hua Jianfeng, who has been waiting in the war zone for several days, waiting for another 1 or 2 days is not a big problem
As the beer was delivered to every officer and soldier, the atmosphere on the submarine was much more relaxed
The sound of depth charge explosions from outside the boat was much drowned, and the tactical screen showed that the East China Sea Fleet had made a second turn and was heading southeast with the Japanese Fourth Fleet
About an hour and a half later, Hua Jianfeng walked to the side of the tactical command platform
Passive sonar has been monitoring the surrounding situation, and the battlefield environment has "improved" a lot as carrier-based helicopters from both sides return to the battleship to refuel
Hua Jianfeng glanced at his partner, and Le Jiacheng immediately sounded the battle alarm
The red lights came on, and the officers and men who had just drunk beer returned to their respective posts
"Captain, there's an anomaly!"
"See, keep watching!"
On the tactical screen, those few points of light representing the submarines of the Republic are moving rapidly, and 3 conventional submarines are approaching the Japanese Fourth Fleet, and the diving depth is also rising from 240 to 40 meters
Missile attack, or torpedo attack?
Hua Jianfeng's eyebrows jumped a few times to let the conventional submarines attack first, which did not conform to the basic tactics In addition, the movements made by those submarines were too big, which must have aroused the vigilance of nearby Japanese submarines
What do they want to do?
"Bait!" Le Jiacheng muttered
Hua Jianfeng nodded slightly, it must be that those conventional submarines received orders from the General Staff, and the "Swordfish" has not made a move, thinking that the "Swordfish" has not locked on the Japanese submarines, and they have taken the initiative to kill them as bait, perhaps, their task is to act as bait
"1, 2, 3 torpedo loading fire control data, primary extremely low speed, wire-guided attack mode, respectively locked the three most threatening Japanese submarines" Hua Jianfeng did not hesitate, 4 torpedoes use full-speed self-guidance mode, temporarily do not install fixed fire control data"
"The fire control data is installed, and the attack mode is set"
Hua Jianfeng nodded, and did not immediately give the order to fill the torpedo tube with water
"Lao Hua ......"
Glancing at the deputy, Hua Jianfeng pressed his hand and signaled Le Jiacheng not to worry
"Captain, the sound of the water injection of the torpedo tubes, the speed of the Japanese submarine increased by 4, the depth was 240
Le Jiacheng clenched his fists and cast an anxious glance at Hua Jianfeng, and the Japanese submarine spotted the conventional submarines that were preparing to attack the Fourth Fleet and prepared to attack
"Our submarine accelerated to the surface, and the Japanese submarine opened the front cover of the torpedo tube"
"Lao Hua!"
"The torpedo tube is filled with water, ready to open the front cover" Hua Jianfeng propped his hands on the tactical command platform, "self-propelled out of the tube, minimize noise and prepare for ......"
"Japanese submarine launches torpedo ......"
"Launch!"
Three heavy electric anti-submarine torpedoes were fired sequentially at a speed of 35 knots at three Japanese conventional submarines of the "Friendly Tide" class at a range of 5 to 10 nautical miles
Rokugacheng pressed the switch on the stopwatch and began to calculate the time when the torpedo hit the Japanese submarine
Hua Jianfeng looked intently at the tactical screen
Will those three conventional submarines be able to evade the torpedoes fired by Japanese submarines?
Damn it*
