In the waving center, Hua Jianfeng took out an electronic igniter several times, but in the end he still didn't have a cigarette on his mouth

"Sonar locks onto target, fire control data entry completed"

"1, 2, 3 torpedoes ready"

"The surrounding sea area is normal and there is no dangerous contact"

"The torpedo tube is filled with water and the front cover is opened"

Lejia Changcheng took a breath and looked at Hua Jianfeng, who had a stern expression

Inside the command center, the other officers cast expectant glances at the captain

In order to ambush the Japanese fleet, the "Swordfish" not only missed the opportunity to annihilate the Japanese submarine, but also spent 10 hours rushing to the ambush area, and finally got a chance to get off the phone, vetoed the suggestions of all the officers, and decided to ambush the Japanese fleet.

Hua Jianfeng's fingers tapped a few times on the command platform, and then nodded at Le Jiacheng

"Re-lock the target, 1, 2, 3 torpedoes ready for launch"

Target Relock

"Preset program plus wake self-homing mode, self-propelled No. 1 torpedo...... Launch of 2 torpedoes...... Launch, 3 torpedoes...... Launch! ”

Under the command of Lejia Chengdi, the three heavy torpedoes were spaced 10 apart from each other, and the torpedo tubes of the "Swordfish" were driven out in turn

On the tactical screen, 3 white dots of light representing 3 heavy torpedoes appeared

"Reloading of torpedo tubes 1, 2 and 3"

Hearing Hua Jianfeng's order, the gun officer hesitated for a moment, and immediately conveyed the order

"Reset the fire control parameters" Hua Jianfeng did not explain to the surrounding locals "lock the 3 general destroyers at the front of the fleet"

"Torpedo loaded!" With the help of the loader, the officers and men of the torpedo compartment completed the loading operation in only 1 minute

"Fire control parameters set, lock on targets 1, 2, and 3"

"The torpedo tube is filled with water, ready to open the front cover" Glancing at his partner next to him, Hua Jianfeng said, "We have to be prepared to be beaten, and we must take this opportunity to take out a few general-purpose destroyers"

Le Jiacheng nodded, he just thought of Hua Jianfeng's tactical intentions

"The torpedo tube is filled with water"

"234 torpedo tubes open front cover" Hua Jianfeng's gaze returned to the tactical screen

"Torpedo tube front cover open"

"2 torpedoes attack the No. 1 target, 3 torpedoes attack 2 targets, and No. 4 torpedoes attack 3 targets" Hua Jianfeng glanced at the 3 non-commissioned officers in charge of fire control operations and said, "Line guide mode, self-propelled out of the tube, the central fire control computer controls the torpedo, and it will be launched when it is ready."

"Fire control system ready"

Hua Jianfeng glanced at his watch and waited for a while before looking at Le Jiacheng

"2 torpedoes...... Launch, torpedo No. 3...... Launch, 4 torpedoes...... Launch! ”

Hearing the slight sound of the 3 torpedoes coming out of the tube, Hua Jianfeng glanced at the noise detector for less than 100 shells, which was completely muffled by the sound of wind and waves on the sea

At this point, the "Swordfish" fired 6 heavy torpedoes in two rounds

The first 3 torpedoes rushed to the 3 large destroyers located in the center of the Japanese fleet under the control of the pre-set attack program, and the last 3 torpedoes were killed at the 3 general destroyers in front of the Japanese fleet under the control of the central fire control computer of the submarine

Glancing at Le Jiacheng, who was calculating the time of the torpedo hit, Hua Jianfeng picked up the electronic igniter again

"Report, underwater contact!"

Hua Jianfeng was startled, not only put down the electronic igniter, but also took off the cigarette in his mouth

Le Jiacheng also immediately put down the stopwatch and looked at the sonar chief

"Azimuth 300350, distance 60" sonar chief quickly adjusted a few knobs on the console, "the interference is too great, the noise is very blurry, and only 34 underwater targets can be determined"

"Can you measure the speed?" Hua Jianfeng walked next to the sonar chief

"I'm calculating ......" glanced at the screen, and the sonar chief said, "The speed is close to 30 knots, it must be an attack nuclear submarine!" ”

"U.S. military?" Le Jiacheng's brows immediately locked together

"Continue to monitor" Hua Jianfeng patted the sonar chief's shoulder, shook his head at the deputy, and said, "It is unlikely that it is an attack nuclear submarine of the US military, how many nuclear submarines have been deployed by the US military in the western Pacific?" If it was 'Virginia', we wouldn't have been able to intercept the noise at such a distance, and if it was 'Los Angeles,' we should have noticed something a long time ago, and we wouldn't have waited until the other side accelerated to 30 to react."

Le Jiacheng nodded, and did not refute the captain's analysis

"34 ships, it should be us 093|Hua and Liu Haifeng haven't shown up until now, what do they want to do?"

Le Jiacheng did not talk to the captain and calculated the torpedo hit time again

Hua Jianfeng returned to the side of the tactical command platform, because the distance from the target was more than 30 kilometers, so the 6 torpedoes that had just been fired needed to sail for about 20 minutes before entering the final attack phase, increasing the speed from 45 knots to 70 knots, during which Hua Jianfeng had little to do

Thinking that the Japanese fleet suddenly turned to the southeast and immediately increased its speed to 30 knots, Hua Jianfeng was even more convinced that it was the attack nuclear submarine of the Republic Navy that appeared in the northwest direction

95？ Hua Jianfeng couldn't say for sure

After encountering the Japanese fleet, Hua Jianfeng accelerated the "Swordfish" while also considering ambush tactics

At that time, Hua Jianfeng, like the commander of the Japanese Second Fleet, Jihei Komaki, first considered the impact of weather factors on combat operations

The storm had an impact on the Swordfish's passive sonar, but not by much

Considering that the storm was moving northwest, Hua Jianfeng made a tactical decision as fast as he could: to ambush the Japanese fleet in the southeast

Rich practical experience allowed Hua Jianfeng to seize the opportunity

In his opinion, Du Xinghua, Liu Haifeng, and other attack nuclear submarine captains will definitely take advantage of the storm on the sea surface to choose the ambush site in the sea area where the storm passes, take advantage of the opportunity of the Japanese fleet's anti-submarine combat capability being greatly affected after entering the storm area to launch a surprise attack, and then leave the search range of the Japanese anti-submarine patrol plane before the storm leaves

If the commander of the Japanese fleet is a "fool" and leads the fleet directly into the storm zone and into the ambush circle of the attacking nuclear submarines, the participation of the "Swordfish" in the war is of little significance, and the six attack nuclear submarines can effortlessly take out the Japanese fleet without the cover of anti-submarine aviation

If the commander of the Japanese fleet is very smart, the operation of the "Swordfish" will be crucial, and if the Japanese fleet wants to avoid the storm, it will either turn back or turn southeast to attack the nuclear submarines, and in the case of no success in the ambush, it can only risk exposing its whereabouts and attack the Japanese fleet with anti-ship missiles

According to this inference, the Swordfish headed east at 7:40 a.m. at a speed of 20 knots

Hua Jianfeng's judgment basically became a reality, but the Japanese fleet was not attacked by missiles

At the time of the torpedo launch, the "Swordfish" was 35 kilometers from the nearest Japanese battleship, and 55 kilometers from the farthest Japanese battleship

Although it was a little farther away, the Japanese fleet did not find the "Swordfish", the course was 60 degrees from the direction of the "Swordfish", and the actual range of the torpedo was between 5055 meters, which happened to be the farthest attack distance of the heavy electric torpedo in the two-speed sailing mode

Considering that the Japanese fleet was about to leave the storm area and the risk of continuing to approach was too great, Hua Jianfeng did not hesitate any longer

The remote distance also gave the "Swordfish" a "benefit": the passive sonar on the Japanese battleship would certainly not be able to hear the sound of the "Swordfish" firing torpedoes in the conditions of rough sea conditions, and even detect a heavy torpedo approaching in low-speed mode

According to this situation, Hua Jianfeng gave full play to the potential of the "Swordfish".

Attacking six targets with six torpedoes at a time is probably difficult for even the US "Virginia" class attack nuclear submarines to do

When choosing this tactic, Hua Jianfeng did not consider killing with one hit

As long as it was able to damage the Japanese battleship, incapacitate it, or lose some speed, the Swordfish would be able to launch a second attack and sink the damaged Japanese battleship

After learning that there was an attack nuclear submarine pursuing the Japanese fleet at a speed of 30 knots, Hua Jianfeng had to believe that Du Xinghua and Liu Haifeng also wanted to take advantage of the fire to rob and prepare to attack the Japanese fleet with electric torpedoes with better concealment, and did not plan to use anti-ship cruise missiles in the vertical launch system

"How much longer?" Hua Jianfeng looked at his partner and thought of the sudden "Cheng Biting Jin", and he had to worry that the fat on his mouth would be snatched away

"12 minutes"

"How many torpedoes do we have?" Hua Jianfeng asked the gunner

"There are 5 torpedoes left, and another 4 anti-ship missiles"

"Only 5 torpedoes?" Hua Jianfeng was stunned for a moment, "Damn, it's not good that the No. 4 torpedo tube is filled with water, get ready for launch, and keep an eye on the destroyer closest to us."

Hua Jianfeng nodded and looked at his deputy

"10 minutes 30 seconds"

"Has there been any change in the navigation of the Japanese fleet?"

"No, it's still on a 120 course at a speed of 30"

Hua Jianfeng knocked on the tactical command platform, looking irritable

"5 whole" Le Jiacheng is also a little irritable

Hua Jianfeng nodded and looked at the sonar chief

"There was no unusual behavior in the Japanese fleet, no torpedoes were found"

In the next few minutes, Hua Jianfeng couldn't hold it back

"1:30!"

"The 234 torpedo is ready to cut the wire, the active sound self-guided attack, the maximum speed attack mode" Hua Jianfeng took a long breath and said to the gunners officer, "After switching to self-guidance, immediately reload the 234 torpedo tube, the faster the better."

The gunnery officer nodded, indicating that he understood what the captain meant

"1 cent...... 50…… 40…… 35 sec...... 30 seconds ......"

"The Japanese fleet turned right to ......"

"Cut the wire!" Hua Jianfeng quickly gave the order, "Reload the torpedo and lock on the nearest destroyer"

"Torpedo transposition self-guided attack mode, accelerating the pursuit of targets"

Hua Jianfeng did not rush to order the torpedo to be fired again, and the "Swordfish" had to use every remaining torpedo on the blade!

Damn it*

The outbreak begins, march towards 560, rush! (To be continued)
