When the news of the "finless porpoise" arrived, Hua Jianfeng immediately contacted Yan Yunxiang and asked him to dispatch an anti-submarine helicopter at speed. [Full text reading]

Like Hua Jianfeng, Yan Yunxiang left the front-line troops after the East China Sea War, and after receiving a six-month "professional" training, he went to the "Republic" aircraft carrier to serve as the leader of the anti-submarine helicopter group. Although the anti-submarine helicopter group was incorporated into the carrier-based aviation wing, under normal circumstances, the anti-submarine helicopter group was under the command of the fleet's anti-submarine warfare officer. In other words, Yan Yunxiang has always partnered with Hua Jianfeng. Hua Jianfeng went to the "Huaxia" aircraft carrier battle group to serve as the commander, and Yan Yunxiang followed him and became an anti-submarine warfare officer of the battle group.

At 211:50, 3 helicopters took off from the "Huaxia".

In order for the anti-submarine helicopter to take off, Hua Jianfeng had to keep the fighters of the three major teams planned to take off at 211 o'clock in the hangar. Because according to the combat regulations of the fleet, when conducting anti-submarine warfare, the aircraft carrier will stop other operations until the threat is lifted, so the departure time of the three major groups is delayed by at least 2 hours than planned!

Fifteen minutes later, three helicopters arrived over the sea where the South Korean submarine reported by the "Finless Porpoise" was located.

In order to strengthen the efficiency of anti-submarine warfare, the previously commonly used "two-plane formation" became a "three-plane formation", and each helicopter carried aviation anti-submarine torpedoes. Because South Korean submarines are always sailing, helicopters have to lower their sonars to search for South Korean submarines before dropping torpedoes. According to the aviation anti-submarine tactics of helicopters, one of the three helicopters used passive sonar to conduct a wide-area search, and after the approximate location of the target was presented, the other one used active sonar to determine the exact location of the target, and then the third helicopter dropped a torpedo to attack.

Under normal circumstances, a search attack operation can be completed in 5 minutes.

It didn't take 5 minutes for the battle under the surface of the sea to come to an end.

Three anti-submarine helicopters did not have time to drop aviation anti-submarine torpedoes, and five South Korean submarines were overtaken by heavy torpedoes fired by the "Finless Porpoise", and the "fate" was sunk by a torpedo for a better time, and the worse ones were torpedoed to pieces.

I have to admit that Liu Haifeng was too "arbitrary" and did not give the anti-submarine helicopter any chance.

Because the "Finless Porpoise" clearly mentioned in the report that there are 6 South Korean submarines near the aircraft carrier battle group. There is a high probability that one of them is lurking nearby. So the anti-submarine helicopter did not immediately return home. Instead, it provides ground information according to the "finless porpoise". Advance south with a quick search.

22:12. The pilot of the anti-submarine helicopter flying at the front saw the submarine that suddenly rushed out of the sea.

In the event that it is not possible to confirm the location of friend or foe. The anti-submarine helicopter did not immediately attack. Instead, he approached the surface submarine as fast as he could.

After 5 minutes. Geothermal phasing equipment on board the helicopter confirmed that it was a 2211-class conventional submarine.

Just on board the anti-submarine helicopter, the pilot started the rocket nest hanging on the left side of the hatch. When preparing to attack a South Korean submarine floating on the surface of the sea with rockets. The navigator received a ground signal from the South Korean submarine through the International Maritime Public Channel. Not a signal in general. It's a surrender signal!

Forthwith. Three white flares rose from the enclosure of the South Korean submarine's ground command platform.

Conventionally, this means surrender.

Capturing 1 submarine is definitely more valuable than sinking 1 submarine. Because the Philippines, Indonesia and other countries around the Republic have also purchased 2211-class conventional submarines, and Japan's "Zaoshio" class is also a copy of the 2211-class submarine, so the Republic Navy has always wanted to obtain the specific performance data of the 1st class, and the Military Intelligence Agency has made a lot of efforts to achieve this. If you can get this South Korean submarine, it will not only do the military intelligence a great favor, but also get the best trophy for the navy.

However, what happened next was something that almost everyone didn't expect.

Capturing a submarine is not as simple as making soldiers lay down their arms.

The anti-submarine helicopter first used the international maritime public channel to warn the South Korean submarine to stay on the surface of the sea and not to try to dive into the sea in vain, otherwise it would be fatally attacked. Then 3 anti-submarine helicopters were divided into 2 groups, 1 went straight to the sky over the South Korean submarine, used light signals to communicate with the officers on the shell of the submarine command platform, and the other 2 stayed at a "safe" distance and aimed the rocket nest at the South Korean submarine, ready to fire at any time. Of course, the helicopter pilots did not forget the most important thing: to report to the fleet, with a request to immediately send reinforcements.

Each warship has a Marine Corps responsible for the safety of the warship, and it only takes more than 1C Marines to control South Korean submarines.

Also when the helicopter approached the South Korean submarine, there was a scene of arbitrary material on the submarine.

There were a few flashes of light, which, according to the surviving co-pilots of the helicopter, were firearms, most likely from the pistols when they were fired. Because the helicopter was very noisy, and the helicopter was about 500 meters away from the submarine, no gunfire was heard. At the time of the "shooting," the pilot had at least one South Korean soldier pushed into the sea by two or three other people through the thermal phase detector.

Immediately, one shoulder-fired anti-aircraft missile rose from the enclosure of the command platform and fired at the approaching anti-submarine helicopter.

Although the pilot evaded it as quickly as possible, releasing the infrared jamming bomb, the distance was too close to be avoided.

The situation changed sharply, 2 anti-submarine helicopters on alert

If you are suspicious, you will attack immediately.

Fearing to hit a friendly aircraft that fell to the left of the submarine, the rear 2 anti-submarine helicopter did not directly attack the submarine with rockets, but fired at the sea to the right side of the submarine.

The South Korean submarine ignored the helicopter's warning and dived as fast as it could.

At 22:27, shortly after the South Korean submarine disappeared from the sea, the 2 anti-submarine helicopters successively dropped 2 aviation anti-submarine torpedoes at a distance of 2500 and 3000 meters from the diving site of the South Korean submarine. Subsequently, 2 anti-submarine helicopters detected the situation with South Korean submarines in a "two-aircraft formation" search attack mode.

After the bell, the passive sonar of the anti-submarine helicopter received 3 explosions.

After detection with active sonar, it was confirmed that the South Korean submarine had been torpedoed and sunk.

At 22:34, fragments of a South Korean submarine appeared on the surface of the sea.

After determining that the South Korean submarine was finished, the 2 helicopter did not fly away, but circled over the downed friendly aircraft. Since the anti-submarine helicopter did not carry rescue equipment, it was not possible to carry out rescue operations.

At 22:38, a large helicopter with rescue equipment and frogmen arrived.

After five minutes of search and rescue, the frogman not only found the helicopter pilot who survived, but also found the South Korean submarine captain Sun Shinchang.

The pilot broke only 2 ribs and was able to go to the sky again after a few months of recuperation.

Sun Xinchang was not so lucky, he was already a corpse when he was scooped up. After the autopsy, it was confirmed that Sun Xinchang died from a shooting. The killer fired 9 shots at him with a self-defense pistol with a caliber of 5 mm, and 2 of them were shot in the heart and liver, killing him. Because the water temperature was below the level of Laurel at that time, and it took more than 15 minutes from the time of falling into the water to the arrival of the rescue helicopter, even if Sun Xinchang was not mortally injured, he would have frozen to death.

When he lost a helicopter and his crew on an anti-submarine mission, there were 5 crew members on board the helicopter, and Yan Yunxiang was very angry.

Hua Jianfeng was much calmer, as the remaining six submarines of the South Korean Navy were taken out.

Unless the stick works magic, it can no longer pose a threat to the aircraft carrier battle group of the Republic Navy.

This battle proved Hua Jianfeng's speculation that the entry of US submarines into the Yellow Sea was precisely to create an opportunity for South Korean submarines to sneak attack the Republic's aircraft carrier battle group. If it weren't for the timely maneuvering of the "Finless Porpoise," it would have been difficult for the South Korean submarine that was quietly approaching and the aircraft carrier battle group that was sailing at high speed to detect the South Korean submarine before it entered the torpedo attack range. The most vulnerable to attack was not the "Huaxia" and the "Yellow Emperor", but the "Yandi", which was receiving supplies. Compared with the loss of 1 anti-submarine helicopter, the torpedo attack of the "Yandi" is the real loss!

Hua Jianfeng would not consider Liu Haifeng and Yan Yunxiang's thoughts, because his mission was to ensure the safety of the aircraft carrier.

At 22:55, Hua Jianfeng asked the fleet's anti-submarine helicopters to focus on searching the eastern waters, contacting anti-submarine patrol planes, and strengthening surveillance of US submarines.

The failure of the South Korean submarine sneak attack does not guarantee that the US submarine will not take risks.

For Du Xinghua, the situation is not so dire.

When the "Finless Porpoise" engaged the South Korean submarine, the passive sonar of the "Thornfish" received the loud sound of the torpedo explosion.

Although it is not certain whether it was a South Korean submarine or a Republic submarine that was attacked, one thing is certain: the torpedo exploded under the surface of the sea, not on the surface of the sea. The sound of underwater explosion is completely different from that of surface explosion, the sound produced by underwater explosion is relatively dull, and the intensity of infrasound is stronger. The surface explosion is a little more crisp, and the intensity of high-frequency sound waves exceeds that of infrasound waves, and the transmission distance is much closer.

3 The "811" class submarines of the US Navy also heard explosions in the distance.

At 22:50, before Hua Jianfeng decided to "encircle and suppress" the American submarine, the 3 "8111" class turned at the same time and left the battlefield eastward.

Du Xinghua immediately ordered the "Thorn Dolphin" to slow down and dive, and then followed the US submarine to the east.

At this point, Du Xinghua was basically certain that the US submarine would not sneak attack the aircraft carrier battle group. Because the explosion was born underwater, the U.S. submarine could also tell that it was the submarine that was attacked, not the warship on the surface. Regardless of whose submarine was sunk, the South Korean submarine sneak attack on the aircraft carrier battle group ended in failure. Unless the U.S. submarine is ready to take matters into its own hands, there is no reason to remain in the Yellow Sea.

At 23:15, the "Thornfish" threw out a communication buoy and reported the whereabouts of the American submarine.

It was only at this time that Hua Jianfeng really breathed a sigh of relief.

After returning the anti-submarine helicopter, Hua Jianfeng ordered the anti-submarine patrol plane to continue tracking the US submarine along the route provided by the "Thorn Dolphin." After the arrival of the anti-submarine patrol aircraft, the American submarine will definitely know that it is being tracked and will leave the Yellow Sea at a faster pace and will not stay to watch the excitement.

At 23 o'clock, the last anti-submarine helicopter landed on the flight deck of the "Huaxia".

After 5 minutes, the first J15BA of the three brigades bounced off the flight deck.

After tossing and turning for more than an hour, carrier-based fighters went to provide air support for the airborne troops on Jeju Island in accordance with the predetermined battle plan. (To be continued, if you want to know how to know the future chapters, more,!) )
