When he cried, Hua Jianfeng ignored a ruthless role

Beijing time 3 hitters day o o'clock drop, Zhang Xuefeng received a message from the strategic communication channel "The red code is slightly long and knows that this code composed of multiple characters is the signal of the outbreak of war." In accordance with the Navy Combat Regulations. After receiving the code, the captain will enter the code into the fire control computer, open the top-secret document stored inside, and then announce the contents of the document to the entire crew of the boat, accompanied by the deputy captain and the communications officer. In general, the content of the document is an operational order issued by the General Staff.

It only took 3 minutes to complete the program.

There is only one element of the battle order: free hunting.

Compared to combat orders. The battle plan is no secret. When Zhang Xuefeng left the submarine base, he received the battle plan sent by the Navy Command. Get combat orders. It is equivalent to letting go of Zhang Xuefeng's hands and feet, so that he can take the initiative to attack any enemy ship in the area without being attacked, as well as when the friendly forces are not attacked, and other troops are not attacked.

This is very different from Xiao Jingbo's way of participating in the war.

Although Xiao Jingbo had received a similar order before entering the battle, other troops had already attacked by the time he commanded the Lizard Whale into battle. In this way, even without a combat order from the General Staff, he should assist friendly forces in annihilating enemy forces.

Of course. This order did not have much impact on Zhang Xuefeng.

Before receiving the order, the first 4 said, Little Bainbridge. class air defense cruisers, Zumwalt-class multipurpose destroyers, and white-class anti-submarine destroyers. This amount. Exactly with the United States "gratuitous aid." The number of warships given to India coincided.

Don't look at Zhang Xue's audacity. When it comes to fighting, he is very cautious.

After it was determined that it was the Eastern Fleet of India. Zhang Xuefeng did not rashly attack. Instead, they quietly followed behind the ass of the Indian Eastern Fleet, waiting for the best moment.

It's not that Zhang Xuefeng is not sure, it's not that he doesn't have the guts, it's that he doesn't want to miss more opportunities.

With the strength of the "Killer Whale", it is not difficult to attack the Zhang aircraft carrier at the same time. The hard part. "Killer whales. It is impossible to take out all the warships of the Eastern Fleet alone. It is impossible to get out of it all in one.

The wait was not at your own expense.

Shortly before the outbreak of war. The passive sonar of the "Killer Whale" showed four underwater targets, and it was determined that it was an all-electric attack submarine made in the United States.

Compared to warships on the sea. Those 4 submarines were cautious about the thugs.

When arranging the attack mission, Zhang Xuefeng's secret submarine was placed at the forefront.

For the dive micro-chief, it is very important to achieve the results of the battle, and it is even more important whether or not he can "enjoy" the results.

Zhang Xuefeng was not in a hurry at all, because he knew that there would definitely be better opportunities in the future.

To deal with the Indian Navy, the naval command has very detailed combat calculations. Different plans have been developed for different situations. It is explicitly mentioned in "Plan C". If the Indian Navy splits up its forces, with one fleet heading south to blockade the Sunda Strait and another fleet operating under the cover of shore-based aviation near the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, the combat units should do so.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang Xuefeng concluded that Hua Jianfeng would send a carrier-based reconnaissance plane to this side.

The Western Fleet has long been revealed, but the Eastern Fleet has not appeared for a long time. Even if Hua Jianfeng didn't know anything about aviation operations, he should act according to the plan. Before attacking the Western Fleet, it sent reconnaissance planes to search the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the quiet waters in an effort to find the Eastern Fleet and prepare for the second round of attacks.

The waters in which the Indian Eastern Fleet is located are not out of the Navy's forecast range.

And so it goes. Sooner or later, reconnaissance planes will appear in India's Eastern Fleet. Although Hua Jianfeng will attack the Western Fleet first and then attack the Eastern Fleet, he will definitely be able to attack the Eastern Fleet when he is fighting in Jige.

Zhang Xuefeng was waiting for this opportunity.

A thug submarine can't deal with many warships, but he can fish in troubled waters and catch a few big guys.

The difference between Zhang Xuefeng and Xiao Jingbo can also be seen from here.

If Xiao Jingbo is lucky. Entering the battle at the best time, then Zhang Xuefeng is taking the initiative to create opportunities. Wait for the best moment to come.

Zhang Xuefeng has to do it. It's just a matter of waiting patiently for hours.

The war broke out before the o-point phantom score, and the fleet of planes would attack the Indian West Fleet before the thugs rushed the points. Taking into account the preparation time for return and another sortie, as well as the one-way flight time, the attack group will attack the Eastern Fleet before the point is divided into points.

For a submarine that has been in the sea for months, 4 hours is not a long time.

It's just that many people are puzzled that Zhang Xuefeng didn't do anything in these 4 hours.

To be precise, the whereabouts of the Indian Eastern Fleet were not reported to the Submarine Command.

Later, Zhang Xuefeng was recommended for this question. There are even many people who say that he is "Liu Haifeng second." ”

Judging from the situation at that time, Zhang Xueniu did not issue news, not because he did not know the importance of reporting the whereabouts of the Eastern Fleet, but because he thought that it was not necessary and too risky.

First, Hua Jianfeng dispatched reconnaissance planes in accordance with the battle plan. It will definitely be able to find the Indian Eastern Fleet, and there is no need for the thug "Killer Whale" to intervene. If Hua Jianfeng did not arrange a reconnaissance plane, it would indicate that the fleet was in trouble and would not attack the Indian East Fleet, then it would not matter whether the "Killer Whale" reported the situation or not.

The second is that the "Killer Whale" is too close, and if it risks going up to the periscope obituary six pimple calculation room to the secret of the Turbo communication technology is very high, it is not easy to be exposed to the bear: the Eryun ship has to stick the communication equipment out of the sea. If there happens to be an anti-submarine aircraft in the vicinity that is on patrol, the "Killer Whale" is dangerous.

More importantly, the "Killer Whale" not only has to monitor many warships on the sea, but also has to monitor the underwater rut all-electric attack submarines. If you send a message to periscope depth. Disengagement with the target is definitely necessary. There is no problem with the warship on the surface, and it is a question of whether it will be possible to find the all-electric attack submarine that sails at a very low altitude again. The safety of the Indian submarine "Killer Whale" is not guaranteed.

Besides. The combat order is "free hunting", and the thugs don't have to worry too much.

It was precisely because of this that those accusations did not have much impact on Zhang Xuefeng, because he acted according to orders. There was no violation of the combat order.

Of course, the 4-hour wait was definitely not easy.

When Molovan sent a reconnaissance plane. Zhang Xuefeng almost gave the order to attack, because no matter what task the island four performed, the noise during take-off was almost the same, and it was impossible for the submarine to make an accurate judgment. If it weren't for the fact that the Masi who took off was so old, I am afraid that Zhang Xuefeng would have thought that the Indian Eastern Fleet had already found the target and attacked first. As a subtle leader, he had no choice at this time. An immediate attack must be made to prevent the carrier from sending more carrier-based fighters.

Subsequently, the Indian fleet sent carrier-based AWACS aircraft and a number of old fighters.

Zhang Xuefeng wanted to start several times, but finally held back.

Only sorties of less than bladed fighters could not pose a threat to the fleet of the Navy of the Republic at all.

Wait until Molovan has air defense fighters in the air. Zhang Xuefeng became excited again.

This time, it was not a knife fighter that was dispatched, but a full fighter plane. Obviously, this is a striking force that should not be underestimated.

In the end, calmness triumphed over impulse.

Although Zhang Xuefeng had never worked in the air force, he knew that the Indian Eastern Fleet had sent less than one fighter jet. It's not to attack Hua Jianfeng's fleet, but to carry out another mission. If the Indian Eastern Fleet is on target and attacks, it must at least send fighter fighters. More importantly, the attack aircraft group should take off at the same time. Instead of taking off in 3 batches one after another.

Obviously, Zhang Xuezheng had the idea of waiting.

Soon, the unusual behavior of the Indian Eastern Fleet gave Zhang Xuebei hope.

Shortly after the third batch of fighters rose into the air. The Indian Eastern Fleet adjusted its queue from a ferry formation to an air defense formation.

This was a bit of a surprise to Zhang, because he didn't see more air defense fighters from India's Eastern Fleet.

Immediately afterwards, the Eastern Fleet of India changed the queue 2 times in half an hour.

At 3 o'clock Beijing time, the Indian Eastern Fleet turned southward, and the voyage was lowered to the old section.

These actions made Zhang Xuefeng even more puzzled.

Of course, Zhang Xuefeng didn't know. Molovan faces a very difficult decision.

According to Molovan's inference, if the Chinese fleet had entered the Strait of Malacca and was heading towards the Andaman Sea, the reconnaissance planes would have found the Chinese fleet before 3 o'clock Beijing time. Although it was already 3 o'clock in the morning Beijing time, Molovan still did not receive the news, but he did not give up his efforts. The reconnaissance plane had already turned around 2 o'clock to return home and conduct a second round of reconnaissance in the Strait of Malacca. If the Chinese fleet avoids the first round of reconnaissance, the probability of being detected by the second round of reconnaissance is very high. That is, before 3 o'clock, it is still possible for reconnaissance aircraft to appear in the Chinese fleet.

There are also thugs, and it is known whether the Chinese fleet has entered the Strait of Malacca.

The question before Molovan is. What if the Chinese fleet did not enter the Strait of Malacca, or if the reconnaissance planes and AWACS planes sent by him did not appear in the Chinese fleet?

Arrange a second round of reconnaissance?

It's too risky and unrealistic.

U-turn?

The previous efforts were in vain, and the Western Fleet was sacrificed in vain, and Molovan was very unwilling.

It's just that Molovan knows very well in his heart that if the Chinese fleet does not enter the Strait of Malacca, it means that the Chinese fleet is likely to have entered the eastern Indian Ocean from the Sunda Strait.

The point is, why did the group that previously attacked the Western Fleet enter from the east?

Molovan was not surprised.

If the Chinese fleet has already entered the eastern Indian Ocean from the Sunda Strait. The distance to the Western Fleet will not exceed a kilometer, and in the case of carrying an external auxiliary fuel tank, it is said that the small object is between four thousand meters.

As a result, it is likely that the attack aircraft sent by the Chinese fleet deliberately launched an attack from the skies over Sumatra. Make the opponent make a wrong judgment. Let your opponent spend their energy searching the Strait of Malacca.

If this is the case, then where did the fleet of aircraft attacking the Andaman and Nicobar Islands come from?

Molovan also quickly found an answer to this question.

If it weren't for the bombers sent by the Chinese Air Force to bomb the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It was the Chinese shore-based fighters deployed in Burma, Thailand and other places that attacked, and they were by no means carrier-based fighters of the Chinese fleet.

Why?

Molovan was not puzzled either, believing that this was a necessary means to deceive the enemy.

So what is the purpose of the Chinese fleet to deceive its adversary?

Thinking of this, Molovan didn't have many letter cars left.

All the circumstances indicate that the Chinese fleet is either moving northward and using a series of deceptive means to keep the eastern fleet in the southern waters of the Bay of Bengal waiting for a decisive battle with the Chinese fleet; Or just

The foreign hinterland is very talkative. Prepare to sail the Eastern Fleet to Arabia※

In either case, the Eastern Fleet had to leave the southern waters of the Bay of Bengal as soon as possible.

The question is, should we go north, or should we retreat west?

Molovan couldn't make up his mind. Had to clear Fernández.

Of course, Zhang Xuefeng didn't need to know what Mo Luowan was thinking.

The Indian Eastern Fleet turned south. It is a direct expression of Molovan's subjective will. Because in Molovan's opinion, as long as you can seize the opportunity. It has the ability to inflict heavy damage and even annihilate the Chinese fleet. The prerequisite is that the Eastern Fleet must present the Chinese fleet and attack. As a result, he must dispatch a second group of reconnaissance planes as soon as possible to search the waters near the Sunda Strait to the south. The lowering of the voyage of the Indian Eastern Fleet to the old section is an indication of Molovan's concern. More than 2 hours have passed. As long as the Chinese fleet determined the whereabouts of the Eastern Fleet of India. Fighter jets can be dispatched in half an hour at the earliest, and the attack will start before midnight Beijing time. As a result, the Indian Eastern Fleet must turn north as soon as possible, widen the distance, and try to get out of the strike range of the Chinese fleet's attack aircraft group.

All Zhang Xuewei had to do was to keep an eye on the Indian Eastern Fleet as much as possible. Don't let the fish slip away from the net.

It's just that the situation is changing much faster than Zhang Xuefeng expected.

After reporting the situation to Fernández, Molovan waited only a few minutes before receiving a new order. Immediately lead the fleet to the northwest and prepare for the air defense of the fleet.

Apparently, Fernandez did not believe that the Eastern Fleet would be able to meet the Chinese fleet alone.

While ordering Molovan to return immediately, Fernandez also gave the order to the Air Force. Immediately dispatch fighters to escort the Eastern Fleet.

Although Rurajapani has not yet declared India a state of war, he has authorized Fernandez to mobilize all of India's military forces, so Fernandez has the right to issue combat orders directly to the Indian Air Force. Whether the Indian Air Force will follow Fernandez's orders and whether he will faithfully carry out Fernandez's orders is another matter.

In the circumstances of the time. Although the battle on the ground has not yet begun, after the Indian Western Fleet has been completely annihilated, the war has already broken out, and the first thing the Indian Air Force needs to do is to defend the homeland air defense, and hold important strategic targets including the strategic command center, air defense center, and air base, instead of going all out to cover the retreating Eastern Fleet. Besides. The Eastern Fleet itself has a decent air defense. The air defense pressure was not very great.

It was precisely for this reason that the Indian Air Force sent only one squadron of oral fighters to "greet" at the first time. , Molovan.

Receiving Fernandez's order, Molovan seemed to be much more relaxed.

Decisions he couldn't make, Fernandez made for him.

Anyway, act on Fernandez's orders. There won't be any problems.

It fell at 3 o'clock Beijing time. The Eastern Indian Fleet turned to the induction.

At this time, the "Orca" was only 1,000 kilometers away from the "Mahatma Gandhi" and the US Navy's "Washington" aircraft carrier, which was located on the left rear, and was only 1,000 kilometers away from the "Nehru" on the right rear. The USS Carl Vinson, which is located in the US Navy, is about a kilometer away, and the USS Eisenhower, which is located in front, is about a kilometer away. That is, the "killer whale" sub is in the southwestern direction of the Indian Eastern Fleet.

Now that the Indian Eastern Fleet is turning, Zhang Xuefeng knows that something is wrong.

Before that. The Indian Eastern Fleet has been hovering on the north-south route and has never sailed in a northwesterly direction.

There is no doubt that the Indian Eastern Fleet intends to slip away.

There is at least a time left before the arrival of the attack aircraft group. What to do?

If there were another captain, they would definitely attack immediately, and concentrate on attacking three aircraft carriers.

Zhang Xuefeng didn't do this, and after thinking about it quickly, he asked the "Killer Whale" to also turn to 3 occupancy.

Less than 4 o'clock, the Indian Navy's female all-electric attack submarine raised its course to the out-section, and after following the Eastern Fleet to the northwest, Zhang Xuefeng asked the "Killer Whale" to raise the course to the out-of-section.

Under these circumstances, Zhang Xuefeng does not need to worry about the whereabouts of the "killer whale".

Although the performance of the all-electric attack submarines introduced by the Indian Navy from the United States is not inferior, with the Republic Navy of the "Swordfish." I have to fight. But when sailing at the same degree, it is impossible to present the killer whale that sails at the same degree. It is impossible to pose a threat to the "killer whale".

Those Indian warships on the sea are even less worth mentioning.

What surprised Zhang Xuefeng was. The Indian Eastern Fleet did not even allow anti-submarine patrol aircraft to rise into the air.

Obviously, Molovan was desperate to flee for his life, and did not expect that there were submarines nearby, perhaps not thinking that there were Chinese submarines around at all.

Put yourself in his shoes. If there are Chinese submarines nearby, when the Eastern Fleet turns to leave the battlefield, it will definitely attack immediately and let the Eastern Fleet stay.

Without worries, biting the Indian Eastern Fleet is the best tactic.

The most important thing is that Zhang Xuefeng has not forgotten an extremely important mountain situation, that is, to report the whereabouts of the Indian Eastern Fleet to the submarine command.

At 4 points, Zhang Yaofeng asked the communications officer to shoot the communication buoy.

Because of the delay program. So it wasn't until 4 o'clock, that is, after the Indian Eastern Fleet and the "Orcas" ran out of the mouth, that the communication buoy began to work and released this extremely important information.

Neither sooner nor later, this extremely critical and timely piece of information changed the fate of India's Eastern Fleet.
