Compared with the bustling air battlefield, the ocean battlefield is extraordinarily quiet

Quietness is the primary performance of submarines

After entering the East China Sea 2 years ago, the "Swordfish" was cautious all the way, for fear of disturbing some neighbors whose ears were more sensitive than dogs, and sneaked into the battlefield

Hua Jianfeng is as proactive as ever

After announcing the battle order to the officer, he asked Le Jiacheng to choose the shortest safe route and go to the southwest sea of the Okinawa Islands at a cruising speed of 12 knots

Le Jiacheng still disagreed with the captain's adventurous tactics, and he was still helpless

2 down, Hua Jianfeng did not give Le Jiacheng a little look, and Le Jiacheng did not complain less

The officers and men on the submarine are also much more honest, and everyone knows that the captain and the deputy captain have a cold war, and it is better for others to stay away so as not to become victims

After 22 o'clock on the 27th, after the "Swordfish" arrived at the ambush area designated by Hua Jianfeng, it reduced its speed to 6 knots

At this time, the "Swordfish" was only 210 meters away from Naha Port, and the closest part of the ambush patrol area demarcated by Hua Jianfeng was less than 200 meters away from Naha, and the farthest point was only 220 meters

It is a very dangerous operation for any submarine to be so close to a heavily fortified military port

Hua Jianfeng didn't seem to be worried at all about the submarine's transition to combat patrol, and when the submarine turned into a combat patrol state, he also let the sonar chief release a towed sonar to improve the passive monitoring ability

As always, the cold war between the captain and the co-captain came to an end

The "Swordfish" had already arrived at the ambush position, and there was no point in arguing any further

At 340 a.m. on the 28th, when Hua Jianfeng was preparing to leave his post and Le Jiacheng was preparing to take up his post, the "Swordfish" received an order from the strategic communication channel

The order was very brief, indicating that the battle had begun

Hua Jianfeng immediately gave the battle order, and all the officers and soldiers returned to their posts within 2 minutes

Although Hua Jianfeng still had to wait patiently for the target to appear, he was not only not impatient at all, but was very excited

Le Jiacheng also had to secretly admire Hua Jianfeng's battlefield prediction ability

The main issue in the previous dispute between the two was whether a second round of conflict would break out between China and Japan

After Hua Jianfeng proposed a possible encounter with a US submarine, Le Jiacheng believed that a second round of conflict would not break out between China and Japan, and his main reason was that Japan had lost too much combat strength, and even if it obtained a batch of fighter planes from the United States, it was capable of competing with the Chinese Air Force for air supremacy, and it was not capable of competing with the Chinese Navy for sea supremacy

There is some truth in Le Jiacheng's view, that sea supremacy is not only determined by air supremacy and the surface fleet, but also by submarines

Japan lost all of its active submarines in the first round of the conflict, and even if the mothballed submarines were to be unsealed immediately, they would not be able to regain their combat capability within seven days

Without submarines, Japan would not have had sea supremacy, at least not complete sea supremacy

Under such circumstances, even if Japan rekindled the conflict, it would not be possible to defeat the Republic, let alone retake the Diaoyu Islands

If the purpose of the war cannot be achieved, why should Japan start the war again?

Hua Jianfeng only used one sentence to refute Le Jiacheng's point of view: Japan is an unreasonable country

If Hua Jianfeng could explain it clearly, maybe the two would not have a cold war

According to Hua Jianfeng's judgment, the navy asked the "Swordfish" to dispatch urgently, and it was certainly not for 30 officers and men to go to sea for a ride, and the navy's operational arrangements would not be without any evidence, otherwise the Military Intelligence Bureau should have dismissed all the officers and women from Pan Yunsheng down to the post As the most powerful underwater killer of the Republic Navy, the "Swordfish" has only one mission to go to the battlefield: to take out the enemy's ships

In Hua Jianfeng's view, Japan's lack of submarines does not mean that Japan does not have underwater combat forces

The United States was willing to hand over 100 fighter planes to Japan (Hua Jianfeng misunderstood the meaning of "transfer" and thought it was free), so it was willing to send a few submarines to serve Japan Hua Jianfeng not only knew the "rules of the underwater game" well, but also sank a US attack nuclear submarine with his own hands

As long as the United States is silent, the Republic does not want to fight with the United States before defeating Japan, and no one cares even if the Dragon Palace is thrown to the bottom

When the decision was made to go to the waters near the Okinawa Islands to look for fighters, Hua Jianfeng had two goals

Taking out the Japanese battleships was only one goal, and a secondary one

Six years ago, when Hua Jianfeng was still the captain of the "Gun Squid," he was conspired by a US attack nuclear submarine while performing a secret mission, and was almost sunk by the "Seawolf" class that suddenly came out Last year, in the Fourth Indo-Pakistani War, the "Swordfish" commanded by Hua Jianfeng again encountered the US submarine and was torpedoed

With Hua Jianfeng's character, if you don't get out of these two bad breaths, I'm afraid you won't even be able to sleep

In the first round of conflict, if it weren't for the 2 "Virginia" class slipping away quickly, and the superiors clearly ordered not to attack the ships of a third country first, Hua Jianfeng would have already fought with the captain of the US submarine

This time, the battle order was vague, and it was up to the captain to decide whether to fight or not

After getting Shang Fang's sword, will Hua Jianfeng hesitate?

Fortunately, Hua Jianfeng did not make the main purpose clear, otherwise the cold war between him and Le Jiacheng would have evolved into a "hot war", at least he would have to argue in front of the officers

After waiting for more than 1 hour, the target took the initiative to deliver to the door

5 Just after that, the sonar chief reported the discovery of a suspicious target,

The information is displayed on the tactical screen

A large fleet of at least ten large and medium-sized warships, as well as several large auxiliary warships, was heading from the port of Naha towards the Diaoyu Islands

"Continue to monitor the enemy fleet," Hua Jianfeng said, putting the sonar information on a small screen and calling up the charts of the nearby waters from the fire control computer

"Lao Hua, aren't you going to close the net?" Le Jiacheng had a bad premonition, and asked tentatively

"Closing the net?" Hua Jianfeng looked up at his partner, "Will a few shrimp soldiers and crabs be worth our net?" I will go down this net, and if I don't catch an old dragon king, I will also catch a few dragon sons and grandsons."

Le Jiacheng's eyebrows jumped a few times, "You mean ......"

Hua Jianfeng glared at his partner, and turned to the sonar chief and asked, "Have you found any suspicious targets under the sea?" ”

"In addition to following 4093 to the southwest,:

"Damn, are the Yankees scared of us?" Hua Jianfeng rubbed his face vigorously, "The sonar mainly monitors the underwater movement, don't pay attention to the ships on the sea for the time being"

"Lao Hua, you ......" Le Jiacheng shook violently and immediately said, "Are you going to deal with American submarines?" ”

"You think I'm faking it?" Hua Jianfeng smiled coldly, "Running such a long way, I am not here to clean up the remnants of the defeated army and deal with the Japanese fleet 4093 is enough."

"But ......"

Hua Jianfeng pressed his hand and said with a smile: "Yesterday I looked at the results of the 'Swordfish', there are aircraft carriers, destroyers, conventional submarines, and India's nuclear submarines, but there are no American nuclear submarines, I heard at the end of last year, the Navy ordered a few more advanced all-electric submarines, I also thought about it, and when I got the final and most important result, I handed over the 'Swordfish' to you and I submitted an application to the captain of the group to go to the shipyard as an assembly chief."

Le Jiacheng was stunned for a moment and said, "Lao Hua, you ...... Why didn't you tell me before? ”

"I only thought about it yesterday," Hua Jianfeng smiled and said, "Have you been working with me for eight years, or nine years?" ”

"It's been almost nine years"

"To be honest, if you were with another captain, you would have been in the captain's position six years ago."

Le Jiacheng smiled bitterly and said, "I think it's safest to be your deputy."

"Come on, don't lift me up" Hua Jianfeng shook his hand, "In the past few years, you have learned a lot from me, what you can teach you, I have also taught me Although we are brothers who are closer than brothers, you can't be my deputy for the rest of your life, after I go back, I will help you submit a promotion order The 'Swordfish' is a very good submarine, and I need a captain who understands her, is familiar with her, and can control her better If it is handed over to others, I am really a little reluctant."

Le Jiacheng was excited in his heart, and his eyes were moist

"Captain, can I interrupt you?"

Hearing the sonar chief's words, Hua Jianfeng immediately looked at him, Le Jiacheng also wiped his eyes, and turned his gaze to the sonar chief

"There is slight contact between the 85-degree direction and the 120-degree direction," the sonar pointed to the screen in front of him, "It's too faint to be analyzed by a computer, but I think it's likely to be the target we're looking for."

"U.S. submarines?"

The sonar chief nodded vigorously, "It's not 'Virginia', it's 'Seawolf'"

Hua Jianfeng immediately lowered his head and glanced at the tactical information displayed on the small screen

4093 is about 65 meters southwest of the "Swordfish", lined up, and is advancing at a speed of less than 4 knots in the direction of Naha Port, the Japanese fleet is about 80 kilometers northeast of the "Swordfish", and has not yet crossed the Okinawa Trough and entered the East China Sea battlefield, and the speed is about 16 knots, and the formation is relatively dense

"How long has the four+93 course been on now?"

"About forty-five minutes, turn twice after making contact with us, and if there are no accidents, turn after fifteen minutes"

Hua Jianfeng frowned slightly, and quickly calculated in his mind

"Turn around again and 093 will be able to find the Japanese fleet" Le Jia Cheng calculated the result for Hua Jianfeng, "about an hour and a half later, 093 will attack the Japanese fleet"

Hua Jianfeng nodded and said, "Since this is the case, we will leave the Japanese fleet to 093."

"The problem is, we don't know the distance of the American submarines"

"Is it necessary? You mean......" Hua Jianfeng was shocked, "This is a trap set by a US submarine?" ”

Le Jiacheng nodded and said: "In the past, the encounters with 'Virginia' were all within the range of sonar, but this time the distance could not be measured, indicating that the distance is very far, and the US submarine is very likely to be in Japan's territorial waters."

"The son of a bitch is indeed vicious enough"

"If that's the case, we have to be on guard"

Hua Jianfeng nodded, pondered for a while, and said with a sneer: "If it is really a trap, the US military will definitely want to deal with us, or collect 095, and 095's performance is not as good as 'Virginia' Rather than relying on others, we should be anti-guest-oriented"

Le Jiacheng suddenly became nervous, and Hua Jianfeng's expression at this time was very familiar to him

Damn it*

The Chinese and American submarines are about to fight, on the monthly pass, smash Virginia with the monthly pass! (To be continued)
