Before dawn, when the officers of the command were still immersed in the joy of the victory in the air, ^ came the latest battle report

The 4093-class attack nuclear submarine encircled and annihilated the Japanese fleet preparing to attack the Diaoyu Islands at a distance of about 120 kilometers from Chiwei Yu, sinking 3 destroyers, 7 frigates, and 5 landing ships, including the 3 "Osumi" class, and none of the submarines involved in the battle were damaged

Subsequently, the Air Force sent a message to attack 4 Japanese anti-submarine patrol planes northeast of Chiweiyu

Xiang Linghui immediately ordered the Navy, the Air Force, and the Air Force to send fighter planes to strengthen combat readiness patrols, expel all Japanese antisubmarine patrol planes that had entered the airspace over the theater, and cover up the 4 attack nuclear submarines to return home

645, after confirming that the four attack nuclear submarines were returning to the submarine base at the fastest speed, Xiang Linghui sent a good report

How will Peng Maobang publicize the major victory just achieved by the Navy and Air Force of the Republic, and how will Ji Youguo use the military victory, there is no need for Xiang Linghui to think Although the first round of the second stage of the conflict has ended, there are still many things waiting for Xiang Linghui to deal with

was busy until 7:30, and Xiang Linghui went to breakfast

Before he could finish breakfast, the colonel's officer, who commanded for him, came running

"What?"

"Sink a U.S. submarine, and another U.S. submarine escaped with wounds"

"Got me right?" Xiang Linghui dropped his chopsticks and quickly picked up the cigarette he had at hand

"Absolutely, yes, the news is that the 'Sea Serpent' and the 'Sea Python' were sent back to the place where they sank and damaged the US submarine, not them."

"Who's that?" Xiang Linghui was slightly stunned and knew that this problem was redundant

The colonel officer smiled bitterly and said, "Who else could it be?" ”

"Where is the place of the fighting?" Xiang Linghui stood up and walked out of the restaurant

"Being close to the war zone can be counted as being within the war zone, or being outside the war zone," the colonel said as he kept up with Xiang Linghui's pace, "According to the situation reported by the 'Sea Serpent', the two sides fired almost at the same time, and the report sent back by the 'Sea Python' was almost impossible to determine who fired first, but it was just ......."

"Just what?"

"It's just that I don't know if Hua Jianfeng fired in advance"

Xiang Linghui frowned slightly, "This Hua Jianfeng has never made people worry, but his kid's ability is really good, if it wasn't for him last year, I'm afraid Lin Xiaolei would have lost ugly."

"Captain number one, can you be worse?"

Xiang Linghui smiled and said: "It doesn't matter who fired first, the important thing is that the battle took place near the theater of operations, and the US submarine also used torpedoes"

"This is for sure, 2095 recorded the use of active sonar and the firing of torpedoes by US submarines"

"That's good, we don't have anything to worry about"

"It is better to let President Peng report to the Führer immediately, lest we be passive diplomatically"

Xiang Linghui glanced at the colonel's officer, and said with a smile: "The report is certain, we are soldiers, there is no need to think about how to deal with diplomatic matters, President Peng and the head of state have their own opinions, and it is not our turn to worry about it."

"I'm just saying, I'm not a diplomat, how do I know about diplomacy"

"Don't waste saliva, hurry up and prepare a detailed battle report" Xiang Linghui didn't follow the colonel's wordiness, "Get in touch with 2095 as soon as possible, and let them send the detailed battle report back through the satellite"

After 8 and 5 points, Xiang Linghui received a detailed battle report from the captain of the 2095 nuclear submarine

Ten minutes later, Peng Maobang hurriedly left the General Staff and went straight to the Führer's capital

When he arrived, Ji Youguo was talking to Pang Xinglong on the phone

Nodding to Peng Maobang and Wang Yuanqing, and motioning to the secretary to entertain the chief of the General Staff, Ji Youguo said to the prime minister on the other end of the phone: "The specific foreign policy will be determined after Huang Guowei returns, and you tell the Japanese ambassador that Japan must bear all the responsibilities and consequences for breaking the cease-fire agreement and triggering the war again, and if the Japanese side insists on going its own way, China will accompany it to the end."

"Führer, is this too tough?"

"If you don't be tough, how can it work? We are just too weak and have too much hope for negotiations to let Japan start a war recklessly, and no matter what the outcome is, I don't want Japan to have the courage to provoke us and start another war."

"Understood, I'll summon the Japanese ambassador right away"

"Do it as soon as possible, and remember to send someone to pick up Huang Guowei at the airport"

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go to the airport right away"

"That's it, report back to me when you have the results" Putting down the phone, Ji Youguo let out a sigh and said to Peng Maobang, who had just lit a cigarette, "Old Peng, do you really have time to eat breakfast?" ”

"I just ate on the road," Peng Maobang smiled and said, "I bet Japan will not provoke another war"

Ji Youguo was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "The cigarette you lost to me last time hasn't been cashed yet, I won't bet with you."

"Mention it again, I'll buy it tomorrow"

Wang Yuanqing, who was making tea for Peng Maobang, laughed secretly

Ji Youguo shook his head and sat down on the chair next to Peng Maobang, "Say, is there good news again?" ”

"Two good news," Peng Maobang paused for a moment, and said, "Our submarine force completely annihilated the Japanese fleet that tried to attack the Diaoyu Islands, and the submarines were not damaged

Ji Youguo nodded and motioned for Peng Maobang to continue

"The second piece of good news is that one of our submarines sank and damaged one U.S. submarine."

"What?" Ji Youguo was slightly startled, "Where did you sink and injure the US submarine?" ”

"The edge of the theater of operations, whether it is in the theater of operations, no one can say, in addition, the US submarine also launched a torpedo during the battle to attack our submarine, that is to say, ......"

Ji Youguo pressed his hand and said, "I understand what you mean, is our submarine damaged?" ”

"Shouldn't be"

"What should not be?"

Peng Maobang hesitated for a moment and said: "The 2095 who participated in the war is back, there is no damage, but the 095 that sank the US submarine is not 095, it is the 'Swordfish' When I received the news, I had not yet contacted the 'Swordfish' Judging from the battle report of the 095 round, the 'Swordfish' should be fine."

"Why didn't you get in touch with the Swordfish?"

"This ......," Peng Maobang smiled bitterly, "who knows?" Maybe the 'Swordfish' is now inconvenient to contact the rear"

"Inconvenient?" Ji Youguo sighed, "So, it's very likely that the 'Swordfish' left the war zone and entered Japan's territorial waters?" ”

Peng Maobang nodded a little reluctantly and said, "This is just one possibility, there are other possibilities"

"Hurry up and contact the 'Swordfish' and let Hua Jianfeng return in my name"

"Now?"

Ji Youguo nodded and pointed to the phone on the table

Peng Maobang gritted his teeth, walked over to pick up the phone microphone, and called Xiang Linghui

"The order has been given, Xiang Linghui is sending a telegram to the 'Swordfish'"

"Then let's wait" Ji Youguo called Wang Yuanqing over, "Call Zhao Rundong and ask him to come over immediately In addition, when will Huang Guowei come back?" ”

"The Foreign Minister's plane arrived at the airport in four hours"

"Send someone to the airport and wait, he will come as soon as he returns"

"Führer, you're starting to ask the Prime Minister to send someone to pick up the Foreign Minister"

Ji Youguo was stunned for a moment and said, "I forgot to tell Pang Xinglong that after Huang Guowei came back, let him come over immediately."

When Wang Yuanqing left the study and returned to the secretary's office, the "Swordfish" also received an urgent order from the strategic communication channel

"It's a return order" Le Jiacheng handed the telegram to Hua Jianfeng, "sent by the headquarters, an order directly issued by the Führer"

"A direct order from the Führer!?" Hua Jianfeng showed a look of disbelief

"See for yourself"

Glancing at the few numbers of the message, Hua Jianfeng gritted his teeth, "The host is idling, diving to 540, ready to turn"

The officers in the command center breathed a sigh of relief at the same time

The "Swordfish" slowed down and rushed into the deep sea

Hua Jianfeng felt very uncomfortable in his heart

After the battle began, the No. 2 US submarine evaded the result of escaping according to Hua Jianfeng's prediction, and the No. 2 enemy boat, which was attacked by the "Swordfish" with two heavy torpedoes, was caught up by torpedoes before leaving the Okinawa Trough, and the No. 1 enemy boat, which sank to a depth of 3,000 meters, not only avoided the torpedoes fired by the "Swordfish," but also escaped from the Okinawa Trough as fast as possible and entered Japan's territorial waters

At this time, the whereabouts of the "Swordfish" were also "exposed".

2095, who discovered the "Swordfish", stopped pursuing the US submarine at the same time, and turned back before leaving the war zone Du Xinghua and Liu Haifeng knew that they couldn't compete with Hua Jianfeng, so they simply didn't fight with Hua Jianfeng

"Swordfish" did not give up the pursuit and kept biting behind the ass of that "Virginia".

The U.S. submarine either hit an undersea mountain range when it was evasive, or it was shocked and damaged some key equipment when the torpedo hit the deception decoy and exploded, and it made a very loud noise when it escaped

It was precisely because of this that Hua Jianfeng decided to pursue

At this time, the defect of the "slow legs" of the "Swordfish" was exposed, and the maximum diving speed of the "Virginia" class attack nuclear submarine reached 34 knots, and the "Swordfish" was only 27 knots, and even if it was damaged, the speed of the US submarine was only about 1 knots slower than that of the "Swordfish"; in this case, the "Swordfish" had to shorten the distance to less than 22 kilometers before it could use torpedoes to sink the US submarine according to the speed difference between the two sides, and the "Swordfish" could only fire torpedoes at the US submarine at 9:45 at the earliest

If the maximum speed of the "Swordfish" had been 30 knots, the battle would have ended half an hour earlier

When the order was received, the "Swordfish" was only 23 kilometers away from the US submarine

had to watch the cooked duck fly away, would Hua Jianfeng feel a taste in his heart?

"After returning to the war zone, send the battle report to the command" Hua Jianfeng's mood was obviously a little low, "The deputy captain plans the return route, there are no special circumstances, the chief engineer and the deputy captain will take turns to command before returning to the base, don't bother me"

"Yes!"

Glaring at Le Jiacheng, Hua Jianfeng shook his head and left the command center

Compared with the captain, the 30 officers and men on the submarine are more willing to return to shore early and live a comfortable life (to be continued)
