In the Pacific Ocean, in the northern part of the Ryukyu Trench, and 350 meters below the surface of the sea, "dolphins" slowly move forward. 【Reading.com】

Xiao Jingbo had just eaten dinner and was picking his teeth with a toothpick.

Among the dozens of submarine captains of the Navy of the Republic, Xiao Jingbo can definitely be regarded as an "alternative". In terms of fame, Xiao Jingbo is not under Hua Jianfeng, at least in the navy, Xiao Jingbo is "known to everyone", because he is not only the only son of the former naval commander Xiao Guangkai, but also "versatile".

According to rumors, Xiao Jingbo formed a rock band with several "gentlemen" when he was in high school. If it weren't for the "powerful" Lao Tzu, Xiao Jingbo would probably become a "musician". Unlike all other captains, Xiao Jingbo graduated not from the Submarine Academy, but from the Aviation Academy. According to him, applying for the Naval Aviation Academy has a lot to do with young people's idea of "spreading their wings and flying high." Entering the aviation school, Xiao Jingbo is very cruel in reality. No matter how high the fighter flies, it has to return to the airfield. Before graduation, Xiao Jingbo changed his mind and decided to stay farther away from his son, and the most ideal choice was a submarine. In an isolated submarine, you will not look at your father's face for at least 2-3 months at sea. After studying at the Submarine Academy for 2 years, Xiao Jingbo became a submariner as he wished.

Unlike most captains, Xiao Jingbo's first post was a sonar soldier.

Perhaps, this has something to do with his love of music since childhood. Although the sonar is not a CDD machine, the sonar is equipped with the best quality headphones, and no one objects to listening to popular music with sonar headphones in their spare time. Because he has not worked in the post of chief engineer, and the captain of the nuclear submarine must work in the post of chief engineer for three years, and receive a six-month "nuclear reactor professional knowledge and skills training" before being promoted to captain, Xiao Jingbo has been serving on a conventional submarine and has never been on a nuclear submarine.

Before becoming the captain of the "Dolphin", Xiao Jingbo only served as the captain of the "Golden Fish".

Xiao Jingbo's ability to serve as the captain of the "Dolphin" class is mainly based on luck and has little to do with him. At that time, Hua Jianfeng had already left the submarine force and served as an anti-submarine warfare officer in the "Republic" aircraft carrier battle group, Du Xinghua and Liu Haifeng served as captains on the C97-class nuclear submarine, and other qualified captains were busy with other things. The "Dolphin" entered the final assembly stage and needed a "chief assembly." Under normal circumstances, the chief assembly officer is the captain of the boat, and Xiao Jingbo is quite "famous" in the submarine force, and the "Jinhuayu" under his command happened to be undergoing mid-term overhaul at the same shipyard, and the navy sent him over.

Xiao Jingbo didn't have much ideals, he joined the army by force, and became a submariner to avoid his father.

If fate were to be decided by him, he would prefer to be a wandering singer rather than a "lone wolf of the sea".

More than 0 years of military career made Xiao Jingbo understand a truth. That is, soldiers have the duties and obligations of soldiers.

Led the "Dolphin" to sea. His duties and obligations are to fulfill the important mission entrusted by the state.

After Du Xinghua commanded the "Thorn Dolphin" to leave. The "Dolphin" and the "White-sided Dolphin" took turns monitoring the "Dongying Chrysanthemum" strategic nuclear submarine. Because the "Dolphin" is closer to the "Dongying Chrysanthemum". So according to the unwritten rules of the Navy. The "Dolphin" is responsible for the most important surveillance mission. The "Dolphin" was left behind, and was responsible for covering the "Dolphin". Deal with possible attacking submarines.

Very simple. Very easy task.

The performance of the "Dongying Chrysanthemum" is very bad. The Dolphin can hear its exit noise from a distance of 1 km. Because the place where it is performed is the monitoring task. So the "Dolphin" will not carry out a wide range of high-speed maneuvers. Drag-and-drop sonar is available. "Dolphin" only needs to keep the distance within the maximum effective range of the torpedo. Don't get too close to the "Dongying Chrysanthemum". It's a real fight. Xiao Jingbo will not use heavy torpedoes first. Instead, the anti-submarine missiles stored in torpedo tubes No. 2 and No. 3 will be dropped first. The "East Chrysanthemum" was used to evade the anti-submarine missile ground opportunity to approach at high speed. Shoot heavy anti-submarine torpedoes at ideal distances. Complete the critical blow.

It's very simple. Tactically efficient.

As for whether he can escape, it is not a matter for Xiao Jingbo to consider first. If a Japanese submarine is allowed to fire a "strategic missile," it will not be the "Dolphin" and dozens of submarine officers and men who will be sacrificed, but hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people of the Republic in a certain big city in the eastern coastal region.

Of course, unless there is a full-scale war with Japan, Xiao Jingbo will not risk the lives of dozens of brothers.

There was a faint ticking sound on the radio, and Xiao Jingbo put down his toothpick and looked at the communications officer.

"Captain......

"What order?" Xiao Jingbo stood up, because it was an ultra-long-wave radio station that received the telegram.

"There is no war, just let's receive satellite signals."

"Satellite signals?" Xiao Jing let out a sigh, "Rise to periscope depth and prepare the satellite communication antenna." ”

If it is a battle order, a special character will be sent to open a special file on the computer to obtain a battle order codenamed "Supreme Crisis".

What Xiao Jingbo had to do was not to let the submarine rise to the periscope depth, but to activate the bow spherical sonar, lock on to the target, and launch anti-submarine missiles and anti-submarine torpedoes.

0 minutes later, the "Dolphin" retracted its satellite communication antenna and dived into the deep sea again.

"What order?"

resemble

After a quick glance, he handed the handheld computer to Zhongcan, who had just come to command.

Like Xiao Jingbo, Liu Can is also a disciple of the general, and his father is a retired vice admiral. The so-called "things gather by like, people by groups", and only a disciple of a general like Liu Can can partner with Xiao Jingbo, who has a somewhat eccentric temper.

"It's not a battle order, but it's not much closer." Xiao Jing let out a sigh and said to the officer who was looking at him, "The bow active sonar is charged, the depth is 450, the speed is 8, and the boat is aimed at the target." ”

Liu Can quickly skimmed through the order, and then his eyes widened.

It's really not a combat order, it's just a matter of letting the "Dolphin" say hello to the "Dongying Chrysanthemum" with active sonar!

"Brother Xiao, has the order been confirmed?"

"Need confirmation?" Xiao Jingbo glanced at his partner, "It's written very clearly, let's remind us"

"But ......," Liu Can gritted his teeth, "I don't want to feed the sharks." ”

"It's not that serious." Xiao Jing let out a sigh, and when he saw the order, he thought of the potential danger. "If *** really dares to touch us, it is guaranteed that there will be more little devils to bury us, and the 'white-sided dolphin' is not an ornament. Rest assured, since it is not a combat order, it indicates that there is no war with Japan yet. We took the initiative to identify ourselves, and we knew each other so as not to get into more trouble. ”

"It's that simple?"

"Sure, how complicated do you think?"

Liu Can smiled bitterly and didn't say anything more.

"Captain, depth 450, sonar ready."

"Target data?" Xiao Jingbo stood at the command post.

"Azimuth 215, distance 35, target speed 6, depth 250."

"The boat is aimed at the target."

"The anti-submarine missile enters the fire control data, and the anti-submarine torpedo is ready for firing." Xiao Jingbo paused slightly and said, "Don't fill the shot tube with water." ”

The "Dolphin" class submarines have adopted a more advanced firing system, which can fire torpedoes at a safe depth of 550 meters.

"Missiles are ready, torpedoes are ready."

"Target situation?"

"No change, just in front of my boat."

"Attack sonar preparation." Xiao Jingbo glanced at his partner next to him.

Liu Can took a deep breath and did not object.

"Captain......

"Sonar aimed at the target." Xiao Jingbo glanced at the armoryman, "Attack the ranging mode, with an interval of two seconds, three consecutive shots." ”

"Attack mode, two seconds apart, three consecutive slaps!"

After the Ordnance Chief reported the data, the sergeant in charge of operating the fire system quickly pressed the attack sonar fire switch.

The "Dolphin" shook slightly, and three infrasonic waves, which could not be heard by the human ear, rushed at a speed of more than 200 meters per second toward the "Dongying Chrysanthemum" 35 nautical miles away.

"The lower fifteenth, the upper fifteenth, the ballast tank is full of water, the main engine is propelled at full power, and the depth is 550."

Under Xiao Jingbodi's order, the "Dolphin" rushed to the bottom of the sea.

The average depth of the Ryukyu Trench is more than 350 meters, and even in the shallower north, it is more than 1 meter deep, so there is no need to worry about hitting an undersea seamount. The maximum safe depth of the "Dolphin" is only 550 meters, and the ultimate depth of the dive is about 660 meters, and the "White-sided Dolphin" has set a record depth of 724 meters, and it is impossible to rush to the bottom of the sea.

"Brother Xiao, 20 ......"

"The main engine is running idle, keep it quiet!"

The "Dolphin" slowed down its underground diving, and there was a sudden silence in the boat.

Attack Sonic needs to roughly "crash" into the "Dongying Chrysanthemum". By this point, the Japanese submarine will know that there is at least 1 "ill-intentioned" submarine behind the ass. Under normal circumstances, Japanese submarines will immediately release communication buoys, report their location and other general conditions, call for anti-submarine support, record all the sound signals they have collected, and strive to present the opponent before the support force arrives. Therefore, the "Dolphin" had to be quiet after the Japanese submarine was aware of it, so as to avoid making excessive noise.

"Captain, depth 550."

"Bit leveling, speed 2, keep quiet."

"Quiet!" Liu Can glanced at the officers and soldiers in the command center.

The atmosphere was a little tense, but everyone knew it.

The "Dolphin" has already left the position where the sonar was fired, and even if the Japanese submarine can react as quickly as possible, or if there is one Japanese submarine nearby, it is unlikely to track the "Dolphin" that is back at a quiet speed.

"Captain, sonar echo received."

Xiao Jingbo nodded at the sonar chief and said, "Is there anything abnormal?" ”

"No, there are no other Japanese submarines nearby."

"Sail along alternate routes." Xiao Jingbo breathed a sigh of relief, "Continue to maintain vigilance and closely monitor the 'Dongying Chrysanthemum'." ”

The "Dolphin" had already "greeted" the "Dongying Chrysanthemum" as ordered, and Xiao Jingbo did not want to become a "war criminal" in the area that provoked the Sino-Japanese war, so he did not take more "in-depth" action.

About 15 minutes later, hundreds of kilometers away, in the waters west of Izu Shichishima in the southern part of Sagami Bay, another "Dolphin"-class submarine greeted the "Yamato Chrysanthemum" in the same way
