Volume 3 East China Sea Shocking Waves Chapter 61 Hard Battle
..
Under the blue waves, the hidden "Swordfish" was not affected by the wind and waves at all.
In the command center, Hua Jianfeng's mood was even more uneasy than the huge waves on the sea.
After shocking the US submarine and assisting brother boats to sink three Japanese submarines, the "Swordfish" turned to approach the US submarine, and then heard the fourth explosion. Hua Jianfeng knew that a Republican submarine that participated in the war was sunk by a torpedo dropped by a Japanese anti-submarine patrol aircraft.
In the next 2 hours, Hua Jianfeng had no time to condolence for his sacrificed comrades.
The 2 "Virginia" class attack nuclear submarines, greeted by the "Swordfish", not only did not leave the combat waters, but instead approached the Japanese Fourth Fleet.
The intention of the US submarine is very clear: to stop the Republic's submarine from attacking the Fourth Fleet
Hua Jianfeng was not angry. Although he had planned to attack the Fourth Fleet, according to the orders received before the war, the main task of the "Swordfish" was to deal with Japanese submarines, not Japanese fleets.
While quietly approaching 2 "Virginia", the "Swordfish" also approached the Fourth Fleet
When the Navy Aviation "bombed" the Fourth Fleet, the "Swordfish" became a loyal listener of the "Missile Symphony". In that case, it was impossible not to listen to it!
When enjoying the beautiful "melody" composed of missile explosion, hull rupture, and keel fracture, the "Swordfish" not only truthfully recorded the entire "movement", but also always pay attention to the other two listeners
Hua Jianfeng really wants to know what the captain of the US military felt when the Japanese Fourth Fleet was wiped out
One thing is certain 2 The Virginia-class attack nuclear submarine did the same thing as the Swordfish, that is, record all sound signals and handed them over to the intelligence department for analysis.
Although the saying goes, "Look at the eyes is true, but ears are false", in the submarine world, the ears are true
Using information such as ground noise when missiles fly at low altitude, ground sound when ships are hit by missiles, and various ground intensity, frequency explosion sound and ground density, etc., to obtain information such as the ground speed, mass, warhead power, and the number and density of ground missiles of the fourth fleet, to obtain important information such as the performance of anti-ship missiles in the Republic, which can achieve ground strength in an attack.
The Fourth Fleet lost its mission after its destruction. 2 US submarine quietly left the battlefield.
Hua Jianfeng had to suspect that the US submarine mission was not to "save" the Fourth Fleet but to collect intelligence
"Swordfish" did not continue to track the US submarines, which had missed a gluttonous feast. Hua Jianfeng did not want to miss the next big meal.
At this time, the "Swordfish" also lost its mission purpose.
The Fourth Fleet is finished. Hua Jianfeng is not crazy enough to attack the lifeboat with torpedoes. The five Japanese submarines are either finished or are not around the Swordfish. Apart from the Japanese fleet officers and soldiers waiting for rescue, there are only seabirds in the air and fish and shrimps in the sea.
Hua Jianfeng was even less interested in capturing prisoners, and the "Swordfish" had no place to accommodate prisoners of war
There are two choices placed in front of Hua Jianfeng: one is to return to the Diaoyu Islands to cover the upcoming East China Sea Fleet and landing fleet; the other is to advance towards Naha Port and intercept the second and third fleets that may go south.
Thinking that the Japanese submarine was almost wiped out, Hua Jianfeng chose the latter
"Swordfish" was not in a hurry to "rush the way", because at this time, the "Swordfish" was far away from the war zone and hundreds of kilometers away from the Diaoyu Islands. Whether the Japanese Second Fleet and the Third Fleet went to find the East China Sea Fleet to fight to the East China Sea Fleet or cover the landing troops to attack the Diaoyu Islands, the closer they had to pass through the "Swordfish" to the Diaoyu Islands, the easier it was to obtain the support of the East China Sea Fleet and the easier it was to obtain the support of the Navy Aviation Anti-Submarine Patrol aircraft.
It was not until around 12 o'clock that the "Swordfish" received a telegram from the strategic channel that it floated to the depth of the periscope.
After receiving the combat order from the military communication satellite, the "Swordfish" dived again and returned to the safe deep sea.
At this time, Hua Jianfeng had a more detailed understanding of the battle situation
What he didn't expect was that the Japanese submarine actually attacked the East China Sea Fleet!
Although the anti-submarine helicopters discovered Japanese submarines and torpedoes in time, and the fleet responded quickly after receiving the alarm and did not allow the Japanese submarine to successfully attack, Hua Jianfeng was still shocked, in addition to the "Swordfish", what did more than a dozen AIP conventional submarines do in the 20954093 participating in the war?
The combat order did not mention the movements of other submarines, indicating that they were not in contact with other submarines.
Hua Jianfeng has to suspect that Du Xinghua and Liu Haifeng also have the same idea
The combat order also did not clearly mention the task of the "Swordfish" and indicated that the "Swordfish" can act freely.
Although the rope that bound the "Sword Fish" has been loosened, Hua Jianfeng's mood is not at all relaxed.
"Free action" does not mean being unscrupulous
After continuing to move the "Swordfish" to the northeast, Hua Jianfeng called Le Jiacheng and other major officers to the Officer's Restaurant to discuss the next action together.
Without exception, all officers believed that the risk of the Swordfish ambushing the Second and Third Fleets alone was too high.
The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force is not the Indian Navy. Not only does the fleet have strong anti-submarine capabilities, but it also has one of the world's top anti-submarine patrol aircraft groups.
During the Cold War, the main mission of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force
Help the U.S. Navy deal with Soviet submarines
In order to complete the "mission", Japan not only built the 4 "Eight Eight Fleet", but also laid a submarine sonar matrix in Soya, Tsuga and Tsuma Strait, but also purchased hundreds of anti-submarine patrol aircraft, and held several joint anti-submarine exercises with the United States every year.
Although the threat from the north was greatly weakened after the end of the Cold War, the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force began to transform, regarding anti-missile and protection of maritime routes as the top priority, and strived to build a "90 Fleet" mainly based on anti-missile capabilities and regional air defense capabilities, the anti-submarine combat capabilities of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force did not weaken. Instead, as the "Osumi" class and "Hyuga" class and other helicopter destroyers with light aircraft carrier characteristics were successively put into service, it was greatly improved.
In addition to hundreds of P-1 models developed by Japan and P-8 models purchased from the United States, the comprehensively improved P-3 anti-submarine patrol aircraft are ranked second in the world in the anti-submarine combat capability, second only to the US Navy, which has a carrier-based fixed-wing anti-submarine patrol aircraft and attack nuclear submarines.
Being able to kill Japanese submarines that operate alone does not mean being able to kill Japanese fleets that are closely protected.
As the saying goes, one's mistake will lead to wisdom. No matter how arrogant the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force is, it will strengthen the protection of the sea surface fleet after losing all submarines one after another.
"Swordfish" is not the undead Monkey King Sun, Hua Jianfeng has to consider advancing and retreating.
After discussing with the officer, Hua Jianfeng continued to oppose the opposition and decided to ambush the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet. His reason was very simple: "Swordfish" did not act alone.
According to Hua Jianfeng's analysis, Japanese submarines were able to attack the East China Sea Fleet, indicating that 20,954 093s accompanied the East China Sea Fleet operation. The Fourth Fleet was not ambushed by submarines, indicating that 4,093 did not aim his finger at the Fourth Fleet, and it is likely that they will leave the battlefield early and go to the waters where the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet ambushed.
As for the movements of 2095, Hua Jianfeng is also very good at it;
This kind of supernatural attack nuclear submarines of the Republic Navy are no less than the Virginia class. The noise level is only slightly higher than that of the Swordfish. The speed and submarine depth are more than the Swordfish. The military equipment is the Swordfish 3. It can use 12 anti-ship missiles and 6 heavy torpedoes to attack targets on the sea surface at the same time. If they are also like the Swordfish, they are ready to ambush the Fourth Fleet, but they find that there are US submarines nearby but they do not take action. After the Fourth Fleet is completely wiped out, they will definitely turn to intercept the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet.
This is just Hua Jianfeng's guess. He can't be sure whether it is like this or not.
Among the Republic's Navy submarine forces, only the captain Du Xinghua and Liu Haifeng, who are 2095, can challenge Hua Jianfeng in terms of personal abilities, command art and courage.
Hua Jianfeng knows these two "opponents" very well
If it weren't for the better luck and willing to obey orders and leave the attack nuclear submarine, I'm afraid that it would not be Hua Jianfeng who commanded the "Swordfish" now, but Du Xinghua, or Liu Haifeng's "Swordfish" almost capsized in the gutter. Finally, Hua Jianfeng still defeated Du Xinghua by luck and saved the title of "the captain of the Navy's No. 1 submarine"
Thinking of the possible actions Du Xinghua took, Hua Jianfeng had a headache
In order to surpass Hua Jianfeng, Du Xinghua dared to do anything!
Liu Haifeng is no exception. In order to break the "zero record", this "Ace Captain" who has no results will definitely give it a try.
Perhaps, this is the fundamental reason why Hua Jianfeng decided to ambush the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet Du Xinghua is not only his "competitor", his classmate and friend, and his most admired comrade Liu Haifeng is Hua Jianfeng's first partner. The two served together on the same submarine.
Hua Jianfeng will never regret it
After several hours of waiting, at 6:30, the "Sword Fish" intercepted the fleet noise from the 65 direction at 15 degrees northeast of Chiwei Island for the first time.
About an hour later, the passive sonar of the Swordfish measured the distance of the surface fleet.
65 kilometers, outside the maximum range of torpedoes!
After ordering to increase the speed to 12 knots and continue to approach the Japanese fleet, Hua Jianfeng asked the sonar to display the information intercepted by the passive sonar on the tactical screen, and then looked at the screen without turning around.
Where are Du Xinghua and Liu Haifeng hiding?
The Japanese fleet's anti-submarine network is very tight. In addition to more than a dozen helicopters, at least 12 anti-submarine patrol aircraft are hovering around the fleet, and two of them are approaching the "Swordfish".
Hua Jianfeng did not order slow down to reduce noise
When conducting wide-area searches, the detection capabilities of the anti-submarine patrol aircraft are not strong, and the threat to the "Swordfish" is not very big.
What Hua Jianfeng is most worried about is that Du Xinghua and Liu Haifeng attack the Japanese fleet before the "Swordfish" arrives.
He was not worried that his "opponent" would steal the results, but worried that his comrades would be surrounded and annihilated by Japanese anti-submarine forces!
This battle is not easy to fight!
damn it*
The second phase of the combat operation is about to begin, and the super submarine is showing its power again. Brothers, please encourage me to use monthly tickets to kill the Japanese! (To be continued,)
Chapter completed!
