Using tactics against "Ohio" to deal with "destroyers" is simply a knife to kill chickens......

When it was torpedoed, the "Destroyer" first released a communication buoy and sent out a distress signal.

Upon receiving the information, the commander of the Rambilli submarine base immediately activated an emergency plan to mobilize all nearby anti-submarine forces to search for the submarine that attacked the "Destroyer".

The greatest threat to the Swordfish was a P-8I patrolling the South Preparris Strait northeast of the Andaman Islands.

The anti-submarine patrol aircraft turned at 13:55 and increased its speed to 780 kilometers per hour.

Even then, it could only arrive in an hour and a half.

An hour and a half later, the Swordfish had sailed 75 kilometers south, about 115 kilometers from the sinking site of the Destroyer.

The captain of the anti-submarine patrol aircraft would certainly not have thought that the "Swordfish" attacked the "Fighter" forty kilometers away.

In the most favorable way for the Indian side, it is believed that the "Destroyer" was sunk by an attack nuclear submarine that fired a torpedo 15 kilometers away, and after succeeding, it fled the battlefield at a speed of 30 knots, and the antisubmarine patrol planes could only search south from about 95 kilometers south of the sinking site of the "Fighter."

The working distance of the active sonar buoy dropped by the anti-submarine patrol aircraft will not exceed five kilometers, and the detection range of the passive sonar buoy will not exceed five kilometers. Anti-submarine patrol aircraft can only drop sonar buoys at intervals of up to 10 kilometers. It takes at least fifteen minutes to drop a set of sonar buoys and determine whether a target has been found, so the P-8I searches south at a speed of forty kilometers per hour.

The speed of the "Swordfish" is fifty kilometers per hour.

If the "Swordfish" turns in the middle of the voyage. And deceleration reduces noise. Even if all eight P-8i from India arrived. It is also impossible to find the "Swordfish".

The Indian Navy also dispatched shore-based anti-submarine helicopters. Contacted the conventional submarine at the previous port departure. Nearby ground anti-submarine ships. Anyway. All the forces that can be mobilized have been sent.

These. Hua Jianfeng took it into account.

The Destroyer is not only the only combat nuclear submarine in the Indian Navy. It is also the only ground-based nuclear submarine of the Indian Navy with a strategic nuclear deterrent. After being sunk. The Indian Navy will definitely fight hard.

Fourteen:30. After galloping south for twenty-five kilometers. The speed of the Swordfish was reduced to six knots. And sail in a southeasterly direction instead.

About fifteen minutes later. The sonar chief hears the sound of an object entering the water.

"Passive sonar buoys, not torpedoes." The sonar chief rubbed his sweaty hands.

"Don't worry, they can't hear us." Hua Jianfeng patted the sonar chief's shoulder.

At this time, the "Swordfish" produced less than eighty decibels, which was completely masked by the background noise of the ocean. Not to mention the sonar buoys dropped by anti-submarine patrol aircraft, even the US Navy's "Virginia"-class attack nuclear submarines will not necessarily be able to spot the "Swordfish".

Of course, caution is a must.

The officers and men stayed at their respective posts, and those who did not have their turn to take up their posts stayed in their bunks. Anyway, you can do anything, you just can't make a sound.

The Swordfish is like a quiet deep-sea monster, slowly moving forward in the dark sea.

"Captain, there's a discovery."

Hua Jianfeng was slightly stunned and returned to the sonar chief's side.

"To the northwest, more than thirty kilometers away, it seems to be a 'squid'."

When the sonar chief reports the situation, the computer is analyzing the intercepted noise and comparing it with the data in the database. After a while, a line of data appeared on the screen: "Squid" class conventional submarines.

"Well, my judgment is accurate, right?"

Hua Jianfeng smiled slightly and patted the sonar chief's shoulder. "Keep an eye on it, we're not going to harass that big squid for now."

"Do you want to turn to tracking?"

Hearing the words that suddenly came from behind him, Hua Jianfeng realized that Le Jiacheng had come to the command center.

"I don't want to provoke dozens of anti-submarine aircraft of the Indian Navy." Hua Jianfeng shook his hand and walked to the side of the tactical console. "We took out the Destroyer and completed our most important mission. If my prediction is correct, the Navy will make a decision to send troops to the Indian Ocean in these two days. The fleet will inevitably go through the Strait of Malacca or the Sunda Strait. The Indian Navy will not sit idly by and will be fully mobilized to intercept our fleet. ”

"We rushed over immediately and fought with the fleet."

Hua Jianfeng smiled slightly and asked, "Do you think it's necessary for us to rush over?" ”

"This ......" Le Jiacheng heard Hua Jianfeng's words.

"The Navy will send out the fleet, and it will definitely send out submarines. The first naval fleet has two attack nuclear submarines, and it is possible to draw two attack nuclear submarines from the East China Sea Fleet, plus the conventional submarines of the South China Sea Fleet, there is no shortage of underwater combat forces. In the past, at most, we were just icing on the cake, competing with our comrades-in-arms for the results. Let others know, and call us stingy. ”

"What do you mean?" Le Jiacheng also laughed, he felt that Hua Jianfeng was really stingy sometimes.

"Go here." Hua Jianfeng called up an electronic chart and pointed out a location.

"Sri Lanka Island?"

"Let's go here and wait for our chance." Hua Jianfeng touched the pocket on his chest, only to find that the cigarette was placed in the bedroom. "We killed the 'Destroyer', and even if we sank all the conventional submarines of the Indian Navy in one go, it would only add to the snake at most."

Le Jiacheng was secretly startled, and asked tentatively: "Do you plan to deal with India's aircraft carrier?" ”

"Isn't that possible?" Hua Jianfeng smiled and said, "If we can take out an aircraft carrier, we will be the most powerful submarine in the history of the Republic Navy." If we can take out two aircraft carriers, there will be nothing to fight in this battle, and we can go back to sleep. ”

"Is it that easy? The Indian aircraft carrier must be closely protected, even if we succeed in a sneak attack, how can we escape? ”

"Run?" Hua Jianfeng shook his head, "You don't have to run away at all." Launch of torpedoes at a distance of fifty kilometers with wake self-guidance mode. I'm afraid that when the Indian aircraft carrier is sunk by us, the enemy will not know where we are. ”

"But ......" Le Jiacheng was obviously still a little scared.

"The USS Vikramaditya, which was previously stationed in Visakhapatnan, has gone to the Arabian Sea to assist the USS Vikrant in dealing with the Pakistani Navy." Hua Jianfeng pointed at the screen again, "As long as we send a fleet to the Indian Ocean, the Indian Navy will definitely send an aircraft carrier battle group to the Bay of Bengal." If India is determined to intercept our fleet, it will have to send both carrier battle groups, one in the Andaman Sea and one in the waters southwest of Sumatra. Whether it is one or two aircraft carrier battle groups, they have to pass through the Strait of the Octave and the waters south of the island of Sri Lanka. We're ambushing here, come one, sink one, come two, sink one! ”

"We should report this to the General Staff."

Hua Jianfeng hesitated slightly, then shook his head. "There's no need for this at the moment. The order makes it clear that we are on a free hunt mission and do not need to assist the fleet in combat. We are still in dangerous sea areas, there are quite a few anti-submarine aircraft nearby, and India's conventional submarines are also coming, so we can't send a message at this time. ”

Le Jiacheng did not argue, because this is not needed, what Hua Jianfeng said is the truth.

"What's more, we can't reveal intentions. The General Staff knows that after we go to intercept the Indian aircraft carrier battle group, it will definitely adjust its combat plan, and maybe it will 'betray' us at some point, causing the Indian aircraft carrier to make a detour and not pass through the sea area where we are ambushed, and even attract India's anti-submarine forces. Hua Jianfeng smiled faintly, "We are submariners, and the biggest advantage of submarines is to approach in concealment and attack suddenly, don't you say?" ”

"It seems that I can't say anything about you."

"We didn't argue, we were just talking about tactics." Hua Jianfeng patted his deputy's shoulder. "You go and rest, replace me in four hours."

Le Jiacheng didn't ramble anymore and left the command center.

After the deputy commander left, Hua Jianfeng asked people to bring cigarettes and distribute one to every officer and soldier in the command center. The "Swordfish" is equipped with powerful air conditioning and air filtration devices, and although officers and men other than the captain are never allowed to smoke in the boat, it is quite refreshing to break the rules once in a while. Besides, the officers and men who sank the "Destroyer" have made great contributions, and they must give their subordinates a small reward.

Just when Hua Jianfeng won people's hearts in the way of "small favors and small favors", the "Swordfish" became the target of public criticism.

Above the sea, eight P-8I and 24 "Sea King" swarmed in, frantically searching for the submarine that sank the "Destroyer", and dropped more than 120 sonar buoys alone. On the sea, four anti-submarine frigates and six submarine hunters shuttled back and forth, not only scanning the sea with active sonar, but also dropping hundreds of depth charges on several suspicious targets. Under the surface of the sea, six conventional submarines completely disregarded their own safety, while sailing at maximum speed, they also used active sonar to search the surrounding sea area, fired anti-submarine torpedoes at all suspicious targets, and ended up with seven expensive heavy torpedoes.

To the north, search and rescue efforts are also underway.

The destroyer that arrived first had already used sonar to determine the exact sinking location of the "Destroyer" and found that the "Destroyer" had broken into three parts. Although no nuclear contamination has been discovered for the time being, the reactor compartment of the "Fighter" has been seriously damaged and deformed, and under the tremendous pressure of hundreds of atmospheres, it will sooner or later cause radioactive contamination. There are also twelve ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads on the submarine, which must be recovered as soon as possible to avoid falling into the hands of hostile countries or terrorists.

At this time, it was not the officers and men of the Indian Navy who were on combat duty in the Bay of Bengal who were most anxious.

After receiving the news of the sinking of the "Destroyer", the commander of the Indian Navy, Admiral Das, at first could not believe it, and then picked up the phone and reported the situation to the interim prime minister.

In the evening, Das boarded a special plane to New Delhi.

Unable to clarify the situation over the phone, Santos had to hear the report in person. The moment he boarded the plane, Das realized that the Prime Minister would not forgive him, the people of India would not forgive him, and that his naval career was coming to an end.

Damn it*
