On the rough sea, two large fleets are facing each other, close to T+

Lin Xiaolei put down his binoculars and looked back at Lieutenant Commander Yin Yuanqiao, the captain of the "Lanzhou", who was standing next to the tactical command platform

"The artillery and missiles are ready," Yin Yuanqiao's gaze was very firm, "and it can fire at any time"

Lin Xiaolei smiled bitterly, walked to the tactical command platform, and glanced at the large screen placed horizontally

Whether to fight or not is not up to the commander of the fleet

The Fourth Fleet of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, which has one aviation anti-submarine destroyer, two air defense destroyers, and six general-purpose destroyers, is so close from a distance of several kilometers that the 130-meter and 100-meter naval guns on the battleship can turn the Japanese ship into a hornet's nest, not to mention missiles

And vice versa, the 127 mm and 76 mm guns on Japanese battleships were not ornaments

"Report, the anti-submarine patrol aircraft has arrived"

Lin Xiaolei and Yin Yuanqiao looked out of the porthole at the same time, and two large anti-submarine patrol planes swept north of the East China Sea Fleet and flew towards the Japanese Fourth Fleet

"The show is on," Yin Yuanqiao finished speaking, and glanced at the fleet commander

Lin Xiaolei smiled faintly and did not express his opinion

It is an improved Y-8M tactical transport aircraft, equipped with four turboprop engines, with a maximum flight speed of 650 m/h and a combat radius of 2,500 meters, capable of using sonar buoys, sea search radars, and magnetic detectors to search for submarines, using aviation anti-submarine torpedoes and depth charges to attack submarines, and the HY-8 anti-submarine patrol aircraft has dropped more than 10 sonar buoys at an ultra-low altitude when it enters a place about 5 meters away from the Japanese Fourth Fleet

After circling at low altitude for half a circle, two anti-submarine patrol planes dropped more than a dozen sonar buoys on the other side of the Japanese Fourth Fleet

Seeing all this, Lin Xiaolei showed a smug smile

According to the "International Law of the Sea," any country's ground warship has the right to carry out training, exercises, and combat missions on the high seas, during which ships of other countries must avoid it

"Send a drill signal," Lin Xiaolei instructed Yin Yuanqiao, "Let's see what tricks the little devil has."

The ground warship of the East China Sea Fleet raised its flag to indicate that it was carrying out the exercise mission, and the flagship sent a message of the exercise through an international public communication channel

The two anti-submarine patrol aircraft did not leave and still hovered near the Japanese Fourth Fleet

About five minutes later, the Japanese Fourth Fleet slowed down and did not pass through the area where the anti-submarine patrol aircraft dropped the sonar buoy

"Report, Japanese fighters are approaching!"

Lin Xiaolei immediately looked towards the tactical screen, and more than a dozen bright points of light were approaching the East China Sea Fleet at an extremely fast speed

"Our fighter planes are coming!"

Under Yin Yuanqiao's reminder, Lin Xiaolei's gaze returned to the porthole

A squadron of J-10Bs swept over the East China Sea Fleet at a speed close to the speed of sound, and when it flew towards the Japanese Fourth Fleet and reached the sky over the Japanese fleet, the altitude of the group was reduced to less than 100, and the speed also broke through the sound barrier

Hearing the thunderous sonic boom coming from the window, Lin Xiaolei could completely guess the feelings of the Japanese officers and soldiers

The fighter jets pass through the field at ultra-low altitude and supersonic speed, and the officers and men on the battleship will definitely not be comfortable

At least in terms of momentum, he suppressed his opponent

"The fleet is ready to turn" Lin Xiaolei did not waste a precious opportunity, "inserted in front of the Japanese fleet, blocked the Japanese fleet's route to the Diaoyu Islands, and sounded the battle alarm"

The battle alarm sounded, the order was quickly communicated, and the fourteen battleships lined up in a column accelerated their turn at the same time

At this time, the Japanese fighter fleet also arrived

12 F-15Js

The J-10B group, which had just given the Japanese fleet a "dismount," had climbed to an altitude of 3,000 meters and was heading up to meet the Japanese group that had rushed in

At low altitude, two P-3C anti-submarine patrol planes flew over the Japanese fleet

The two HY-8 anti-submarine patrol planes that were hovering nearby immediately caught up with each other and approached the Japanese anti-submarine patrol planes to see the posture, as if they wanted to give each other a close touch

Reinforcements arrived, and the Japanese fleet regained confidence again and headed in the direction of the Diaoyu Islands

Under the cover of two general-purpose destroyers of the "Gao Bo" class, the engineering ships, which had been following the rear of the Fourth Fleet, began to accelerate their advance, preparing to break through the blockade line of the East China Sea Fleet

"Anti-submarine deep bomb preparation"

"Would you like to say hello?"

Lin Xiaolei frowned slightly, and said: "Greeting with a depth charge is more effective than sending a telegram, act according to the plan, and prepare to drop a depth charge."

Yin Yuanqiao didn't ask any more questions, and nodded at the gunner

The movable cover on the port side in front of the "Lanzhou" helicopter hangar was quickly lowered, revealing the rocket-boosted depth charge projectors inside, and the depth charge projectors on the other thirteen warships were also ready for launch

As the "Lanzhou" fired 12 depth charges first, 14 warships fired nearly 200 depth charges one after another

In an instant, hundreds of white smoke trails appeared over the sea under the setting sun

Propelled by rocket engines, hundreds of depth charges flew thousands of meters in the air and landed about 3,000 meters in front of the Japanese Fourth Fleet, splashing rows of water jets as depth charges set

bombed, and a white wall of water appeared on the sea, blocking the TV of the Japanese fleet

A Navy correspondent captured the spectacle and won several photojournalism awards

The Japanese Fourth Fleet was again forced to halt its advance

In the air, 24 fighters on both sides were in a mess, and a fierce aerial confrontation entered the **

The ultra-low-altitude 4 anti-submarine patrol planes are fighting each other, and the pilots are fighting bravely and are not afraid of death, and compared with the dexterous fighters, the anti-submarine patrol planes weighing dozens of tons are very bulky

The HY-8, flying in front, got closer and closer to the P-3C, almost sticking together

"Something's going to happen!"

As soon as Yin Yuanqiao's words fell, the confrontation turned into an accident

After the violent collision, the HY-8 and the P-3C quickly separated, the HY-8 wingtip hit the right horizontal tail of the P-3C, both anti-submarine patrol aircraft were "seriously injured", the left wing of the HY-8 broke about 2 points from the wingtip, and the right horizontal tail of the P-3C was broken

"Let the anti-submarine patrol plane return immediately," Lin Xiaolei immediately gave the order

Without his orders, the wounded HY-8 flew to the west, and the other HY-8 immediately >: to escort the two P-3Cs, they had no intention of fighting, and turned to fly in the direction of Okinawa

"The fleet turns left and prepares for a second round of deep bomb attacks"

With the fourteen fleets turning in formation, the battle in the air was also coming to an end

When fighters are fighting in the air, fuel is consumed several times faster than in cruise flights, and even if both sides send tankers to support fighters in the rear, the fighters' confrontation time is measured in minutes and seconds

As the fighters of both sides flew away one after another, the East China Sea Fleet completed its turnaround maneuver

Fourteen warships again dropped hundreds of depth charges, creating a dense barrage in front of the Japanese Fourth Fleet

"Report, command telegram order"

Lin Xiaolei was secretly startled, and immediately took the telegram handed by the communications officer

"Going to fight?" Yin Yuanqiao immediately leaned over

Glancing at the message, Lin Xiaolei shook his head and said, "It's not our turn to get ready for the carrier-based helicopter to take off in ten minutes."

took the message and glanced at it, and Yin Yuanqiao was also secretly surprised

The helicopter parked in the hangar was towed to the flight deck at the stern of the battleship, the folding rotors were deployed, and the aviation crew did a basic inspection of the helicopter, and then the fourteen helicopters flew away from the battleship one after another

Almost simultaneously, helicopters of the Japanese Fourth Fleet were also lifted into the air

With the appearance of carrier-based helicopters on both sides, the confrontation between the sea and air has entered a white-hot stage

Thousands of kilometers away, Brigadier General Xiang Linghui grasped the confrontation between the fleets of the two sides in real time through the images transmitted back by the "Vulture" unmanned reconnaissance plane

The collision between the HY-8 and the P-3C is not a "misfire"

In a fierce military confrontation, not to mention a bulky anti-submarine patrol aircraft, even a light fighter is prone to collisions

Judging by the performance of the Fourth Fleet, the Japanese side was very restrained and did not allow the situation to escalate

However, the state of affairs is not up to the Japanese side alone, and as long as the Japanese side does not give up its actual move of sending engineering ships to the Diaoyu Islands, the confrontation will not end

It's time to give little Japan a little color

"Report, ultra-longwave station ready"

Xiang Linghui turned his head and hesitated a little before nodding to the communications officer

With the activation of the communication equipment, the ultra-long-wave radio station with the civil power grid as the transmitting base array emits a short series of radio signals

"Report, information sent"

"Keep an eye on the situation and report it at any time"

After instructing his officers, Xiang Linghui returned to the office

After smoking a cigarette and thinking for a while, Xiang Linghui picked up the telephone microphone on the desk

"Mr. Peng, I'm Xiang Linghui"

"Got it, did the action begin?"

"Just gave the order"

"Report as you go"

"Understood"

After hearing a few "beeps", Peng Maobang put down the phone microphone

"Got in touch with the Swordfish?" You Hongjun asked

"The order has been issued, Hua Jianfeng will not let us down" Peng Maobang smiled faintly and said, "Have the satellite reconnaissance results come out?" ”

"In the process of analyzing, I began to take a look at the fact that in addition to the Fourth Fleet, which has already arrived in the theater of operations, and the First Fleet deployed in the North, the other two fleets of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force are making port preparations, and in addition, there are signs of increased activity of military bases in the Okinawa area."

"So, Japan is ready to fight us?"

"There is such a possibility, but it is impossible to determine for the time being"

"What about the movement of U.S. troops?"

"'Reagan' is in San Diego, and 'Nimitz' arrived in Hawaii yesterday, and the USS Washington aircraft carrier battle group, which was originally deployed in the western Pacific region, is still active in the Arabian Sea, and there is no sign of a pullback for the time being."

Peng Maobang nodded slightly, and asked You Hongjun to go out and ask about the analysis results of the reconnaissance satellite photos

After thinking for a while, the Chief of the General Staff picked up the telephone and the microphone operation had begun, and it was time to report the situation to the Führer
