Volume 3 East China Sea Storm Chapter 63 The strength of the ace (530 explosions, monthly ticket)
In the center, Hua Jianfeng took out the electronic fire-shooter several times, but in the end he still didn't have the cigarette on his mouth.
"Sonar locks the target, fire control data input is completed"
"1,2,3 torpedo ready"
"The surrounding waters are normal, no dangerous contact"
"The torpedo launch tube has been injected with water, the front cover is opened"
Le Jiacheng took a breath and looked at Hua Jianfeng with a serious expression.
In the command center, other officers cast anticipated eyes at the captain.
In order to ambush the Japanese fleet, the "Swordfish" not only missed the opportunity to annihilate the Japanese submarines, but also spent ten hours rushing to the ambush waters. After finally getting a mobile phone, he rejected the suggestions of all officers and decided to ambush the Japanese fleet. What are you still waiting for and hesitating about?
Hua Jianfeng knocked his finger on the command platform a few times, then nodded to Le Jiacheng
"Re-lock the target, 1,2,3 torpedo ready to be launched"
"Target re-locked"
"The preset program plus wake self-guided mode, the self-driving pipe No. 1 torpedo... launch 2 torpedo... launch, 3 torpedo... launch!"
Under the command of Lejiacheng, three heavy torpedoes were separated by 10 times and drove out of the "Swordfish" torpedo launcher in turn
There are 3 white light spots representing 3 heavy torpedo grounds on the tactical screen
"Re-load the 1,2,3 torpedo launch tube"
Hearing Hua Jianfeng's order, the gun officer hesitated for a moment and immediately conveyed the order.
"Reset fire control parameters" Hua Jianfeng did not explain to the people around him "Lock the front of the fleet's 3 general destroyers"
"The torpedo loading is completed!" With the help of the loading machine, the officers and soldiers of the torpedo compartment completed the loading operation in just 1 minute.
"The fire control parameters are set, lock 1, 2, 3 targets"
"Inject water from the torpedo tube, prepare to open the front cover." Looking at the partner next to him, Hua Jianfeng said, "We have to be prepared to be beaten and we must take this opportunity to kill several general destroyers."
Le Jiacheng nodded. He had just thought of Hua Jianfeng's tactical intentions.
"The torpedo launch tube has been injected into water"
"234 torpedo launch tube opens the front cover" Hua Jianfeng's eyes returned to the tactical screen
"The front cover of the torpedo launch tube is opened"
"2 torpedo attack target No. 1, 3 torpedo attack 2, and 4 torpedo attack 3 targets" Hua Jianfeng glanced at the three non-commissioned officers in charge of fire control operations and said, "Line guide mode, self-driving outbound pipe, central fire control computer control torpedo, and launch it when ready."
"Fire Control System Ready"
Hua Jianfeng looked at the watch, waited for a while before looking at Le Jiacheng
"2 torpedo... Launch, No. 3 torpedo... Launch, 4 torpedo... Launch!"
Hearing the slight sound of the 3 torpedoes coming out of the tube, Hua Jianfeng looked at the noise detector with less than 100 beans, completely covered by the sound of wind and waves on the sea.
At this point, the "Swordfish" launched 6 heavy torpedoes in two rounds.
The first three torpedoes rushed towards three large destroyers located in the center of the Japanese fleet under the control of the attack program in advance, while the latter three torpedoes rushed towards the three general destroyers ahead of the Japanese fleet under the control of the submarine's central fire control computer. Because the first batch of targets is slightly further away and the second batch of targets is slightly closer, Hua Jianfeng attaches great importance to the launch timing and strives to attack two Japanese warships at the same time.
After looking at Le Jiacheng who was calculating the hit time of the torpedo, Hua Jianfeng picked up the electronic fire-shooter again
"Report, underwater contact!"
Hua Jianfeng was shocked and not only put down the electronic fire-driver, but also took off the cigarette he held on his mouth.
Le Jiacheng immediately put down his stopwatch and looked at the sonar.
"The orientation is 300350, the distance is 60" sonar length quickly adjusted several knobs on the console, "The interference is too large, the noise is very blurry, and it can only be determined that there are 34 underwater targets."
"Can you measure the speed?" Hua Jianfeng walked to the side of Chief Sonar
"It's calculating..." He glanced at the screen and said, "The speed is close to 30 knots, and it must be an attack on the nuclear submarine!"
"US military?" Le Jiacheng's eyebrows immediately locked together
"Continue to monitor
"Hua Jianfeng patted the sonar's long shoulder, shook his head at his deputy, and said, "It is unlikely that it is the US military's attack nuclear submarine. How many nuclear submarines have the US military deployed in the Western Pacific? If it was 'Virginia', we would not have intercepted the noise at such a long distance. If it was 'Los Angeles', we should have discovered something long ago and we would not wait until the other party accelerated to 30 before we could react."
Le Jiacheng nodded without refusing the captain's analysis
"34 ships, it should be us 093|Hua and Liu Haifeng have not appeared yet. What do they want to do?"
Le Jiacheng did not talk long-windedly with the captain, and he started to calculate the torpedo hit time again
Hua Jianfeng returned to the tactical podium. Because the distance from the target was more than 30 kilometers, the six torpedoes just launched need to sail about 20 minutes before entering the final attack stage. The speed was increased to 45 knots to 70 knots during this period, Hua Jianfeng had almost nothing to do.
Thinking of the sudden turn to the southeast and then increasing the speed to 30 knots, Hua Jianfeng became more convinced that the attack nuclear submarine of the Republic's Navy appeared in the northwest direction.
95? Hua Jianfeng can't say it
After encountering the Japanese fleet, Hua Jianfeng accelerated the "Swordfish" and was also considering ambush tactics.
At that time, Hua Jianfeng, like the commander of the Japanese Second Fleet, Muramaki, first considered the impact of weather factors on combat operations.
The storm had an impact on the passive sonar of the Swordfish, but the impact was not too big.
Considering that the storm was moving northwest, Hua Jianfeng made the tactical decision at the fastest speed: ambush the Japanese fleet in the southeast direction.
Rich practical experience allowed Hua Jianfeng to seize the opportunity
In his opinion, Du Xinghua and Liu Haifeng and other attacking nuclear submarine captains will definitely use the storm on the sea to select the ambush location in the waters where the storm passes, and take advantage of the opportunity that the anti-submarine combat capability will be greatly affected after the Japanese fleet enters the storm area to launch a surprise attack, and then leave the search range of Japanese anti-submarine patrol aircraft before the storm leaves
If the commander of the Japanese fleet is a "idiot", he will lead the fleet directly into the storm area and enter the ambush circle of attacking nuclear submarines. The "Swordfish" will not be of great significance to participate in the war. The six attacking nuclear submarines can kill the Japanese fleet without any cover without any effort.
If the commander of the Japanese fleet is very smart, the operation of the "Swordfish" is crucial. If the Japanese fleet wants to avoid the storm, they either return or turn southeast to attack the nuclear submarine. If the ambush is fruitless, they can only risk exposing their whereabouts with anti-ship missiles to attack the Japanese fleet. If the "Swordfish" appears near the Japanese fleet in time, they will definitely gain fruitful results when the Japanese fleet deals with missiles.
According to this inference, the "Swordfish" advanced eastward at 7:40 at 20 knots.
Hua Jianfeng's judgment has basically become a reality, but the Japanese fleet has not been attacked by missiles.
When launching the torpedo, the "Swordfish" was 35 kilometers away from the nearest Japanese warship and 55 kilometers away from the farthest Japanese warship.
Although it was a little further away, the Japanese fleet did not find the "Swordfish". The angle between the heading and the "Swordfish" was 60 degrees. The actual range of the torpedo was between 5055 meters. This happened to be the farthest attack distance of the heavy electric torpedo using a two-speed navigation mode.
Considering that the Japanese fleet was about to leave the storm area, the risk of continuing to approach was too high, Hua Jianfeng did not hesitate anymore
The remote distance also brings "benefits" to the "Swordfish": the passive sonar on the Japanese warships will definitely not be able to hear the sound of the "Swordfish" when launching the torpedo under harsh sea conditions, and even the heavy torpedo approaching in low-speed mode cannot be detected.
Based on this situation, Hua Jianfeng has fully realized the potential of the "Swordfish"
It is unlikely that even the US "Virginia"-class attack nuclear submarine will be able to attack 6 targets at a time.
When choosing this tactic, Hua Jianfeng did not consider killing him with one blow
As long as it can injure Japanese warships, make them lose their navigation ability, or lose some speed, the "Swordfish" can launch a second round of attacks and sink the damaged Japanese warships.
After learning that an attack nuclear submarine was chasing 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 situation and were preparing to attack the Japanese fleet with better concealment electric torpedoes, and did not intend to use anti-ship cruise missiles in the vertical launch system.
"How long will it take?" Hua Jianfeng looked at his partner and thought of the sudden "Cheng Yaojin" that broke out. He had to worry that the fat meat that had reached his mouth would be snatched away.
“12 minutes”
"How many torpedoes do we have?" Hua Jianfeng asked the gun officer and asked
"There are 5 torpedoes left, and there are 4 anti-ship missiles."
"There are only 5 torpedoes?" Hua Jianfeng was stunned, "Damn, there are few bullets, but I'm not happy that the No. 4 torpedo launch tube is injected. Be prepared for launch and keep a close eye on the destroyer close to us."
Hua Jianfeng nodded and looked at his deputy
"10 minutes and 30 seconds"
"Have the navigation of the Japanese fleet changed?"
"No, it's still on the 120 direction, speed 30"
Hua Jianfeng knocked on the tactical podium, looking irritable and uneasy
"5" Le Jiacheng is also a little annoyed
Hua Jianfeng nodded and looked at the sonar
"The Japanese fleet did not act abnormally and no torpedoes were found."
In the next few minutes, Hua Jianfeng could not hold it in.
“1 point 30!”
"The 234 torpedo is ready to cut off the wire, actively sound self-guided attack, and the maximum speed attack mode." Hua Jianfeng took a long breath and said to the gun officer, "After changing to self-guided, immediately reload the torpedo for the 234 torpedo launch tube, the faster the better."
The gun officer nodded, indicating that he understood the captain's meaning.
"1 minute...50...40...35 seconds...30 seconds..."
"The Japanese fleet turns right..."
"Search the wire!" Hua Jianfeng quickly issued an order, "Reload the torpedo and lock the nearest destroyer."
"Torpedo indexing self-guided attack mode, accelerates pursuit of targets"
Hua Jianfeng did not rush to order to launch the torpedo again, and the "Swordfish" must use each remaining torpedo on the blade!
damn it*
The explosion begins, head towards 560, rush! (To be continued,)
