When we arrived at the fleet, Hua Jianfeng felt something was wrong.

"How is the marriage ~"

After looking at Lin Xiaolei, Hua Jianfeng said, "Marriage is like that, what else can we do?"

"It's different from when I got married back then. I heard that I'm having a lot of tricks now." Lin Xiaolei smiled and said, "You are over forty, and it's time to get married. When will you want to have children?"

"Hey, don't mention this." Hua Jianfeng shook his head, "Is there a new task?"

“Prepare for war.”

"War!" Hua Jianfengyi, "When did you give the order?"

"The preparation order just issued." Lin Lei looked at his watch, "Half an hour ago, you came back very on time."

"Appointment from the General Staff?"

Lin Xiaolei lit up and threw a combat plan to Hua Jianfeng. "Look at it yourself. The fleet will leave the port in two hours, and hold a combat meeting after entering the deep waterway. Hurry up and prepare."

"Go back and see. Send someone to me."

Back at the cabin, Hua Jianfeng took a hot shower first and sat down to see Lin Xiaolei's battle plan for him.

After the East China Sea War, Jianfeng voluntarily applied for transfer from the "Sword Fish" and recommended Le Jiacheng as the captain of the "Sword Fish". The Navy Command approved the application of Hua Jianfeng. Le Jiacheng was promoted to major officer and became the captain. However, the Navy did not approve another application from Hua Jianfeng. He did not ask him to go to the shipyard to be the "assembly commander" (during the construction of the ship, the Navy would arrange for the first captain or captain to attend the construction work of the shipyard. At this time, the captain or captain was called the "assembly commander"). Instead, he was sent to the South China Sea Fleet and became the commander of the submarine brigade.

There is no doubt that this is an promotion.

As a submarine captain, if you want to take a higher level command position, you have to transition into the "Submarine Brigade". How many years does it take for some land to some land to several months.

Hua Jianfeng is not very "appreciated". The main reason is that he does not want to leave the front-line command post.

A year later, Hua Jianfeng found the opportunity to "change jobs".

After the launch of the "Republic", the Navy began to prepare the commanders of the aircraft carrier battle group. In addition to the fleet commander and aviation commander, an experienced submarine commander was also needed. Hua Jianfeng seized the opportunity and took the initiative to go to the "Republic" aircraft carrier battle group to serve as the submarine commander.

The application was quickly approved. When Hua Jianfeng arrived at the new army, he realized that Lin Xiaolei was "diging" him.

Compared to Hua Jianfeng, Lin Xiaolei is more "unrestrained".

Shortly after the launch of the "Republic", Lin Xiaolei found Ying Changhui and demanded to serve as the commander of the "Republic" aircraft carrier battle group.

At that time, Lin Xiaolei was the commander of the East China Sea Fleet. He went to the USS Republic aircraft carrier battle group, which was equivalent to being deported.

Ying Changhui certainly refused to agree at first. The East China Sea Fleet, which had just experienced the East China Sea War, needed a commander like Lin Xiaolei. Letting Lin Lei be the commander of the battle group was a waste of talent.

In the end, Lin Xiaolei even made a decision to "retirement".

As a last resort, Ying Changhui had to compromise with Lin Xiaolei and exchange the commander of the East China Sea Fleet and the South China Sea Fleet. The "Republic" was the flagship of the South China Sea Fleet.

Although Lin Xiaolei did not become the commander of the USS Republic aircraft carrier battle group, with his personality, commanding above the level is definitely an inevitable result.

Lin Xiaolei played a great role when establishing the command system of the USS Republic aircraft carrier battle group.

In addition to digging Hua Jianfeng, he also dug up HNA's Zhu Ronghui and Yang Jinjie. Unfortunately, Lin Xiaolei originally wanted to dig Liang Guoxiang and Di Boqing, but HNA said he would not let anyone go.

After nearly two years of hard work, the USS Republic aircraft carrier combat cluster has gathered the best team of officers in the sea.

The commander of the battle group was Yuan Renshi, the former chief of staff of the East China Sea Fleet. He was also Lin Xiaolei's partner. The captain of the "Republic" was Yin Yuanqiao, the former captain of the destroyer of the "Lanzhou". In order to become the captain of the aircraft carrier, he not only defeated more than 30 competitors, but also participated in a special training of one and a half years. The captain of the carrier-based aviation brigade was Zhu Ronghui, and the deputy captain was Yang Jinjie. The commander of the anti-submarine and joint combat of the battle group was Hua Jianfeng who was promoted to the naval colonel. In addition, the captain and captain of the escort ship were both Lin Xiaolei's former subordinates, including the captain of the class attack nuclear submarine Du Xinghua and Liu Haifeng.

Because the maximum speed of the "Swordfish" is only a centre, it is not included in the aircraft carrier battle group.

By early March 20199, the USS Republic aircraft carrier battle group had completed one-year training and basically formed combat capabilities.

Because the output of j-15b and hj200 cannot be increased, the configuration of carrier-based aviation has not met the standards.

At that time, there were only 12 j-15b stationed in the Republic, and the number of j-10c was increased to 36; there were only 2 hj200s, and one of them was still undergoing training and debugging.

Although the organization is not completed, the strength of the USS Republic aircraft carrier battle group is unquestionable.

At the end of February, before Hua Jianfeng took his "marriage leave", the "Republic" conducted a confrontation exercise with the Navy's shore-based aviation. The carrier-based aviation not only successfully completed the fleet's air defense mission, but also completed the ground strike mission excellently, which made the officers and soldiers of the shore-based aviation area sigh.

In air combat confrontation,

-1cb, achieved a record of 2 to 17.

During the subsequent ground strikes, the j-11cc and j-13b aircraft groups destroyed more than 70 targets in 2 hours.

According to the plan, by the end of March, the "Republic" will also conduct maritime confrontation drills with the East China Sea Fleet and initially conduct anti-submarine confrontation drills with the submarine forces.

For this reason, Hua Jianfeng took the gap between the two confrontation drills and went back to get married.

What he didn't expect was that the war broke out at this time.

After reading the combat plan, Feng involuntarily took out a cigarette. Compared with the submarine, in addition to the larger cabin area, the biggest advantage is that he can smoke at will in the cabin. In fact, on the "Swordfish", Hua Jianfeng can also smoke at will in the cabin.

The combat plan is well planned, and the sea and air are all in all parts.

The problem is that the plan is not detailed, and only roughly determines the combat destination of the combat group of the USS Republic aircraft carrier, and does not propose specific action steps.

However, this is a planned combat plan.

Feeling the warship shaking slightly, Hua Jianfeng walked to the porthole and looked outside.

The "Communist" is moving slowly, probably leaving the dock under the push of a motorboat.

Soon, the aircraft carrier headed towards the waterway leaving the port. The towed motorboats left one after another, and the main engine started. Driven by the surging thrust of 2.11 million horsepower, the aircraft carrier sailed towards the waterway leaving the port. Behind the "Republic", several destroyers and frigates also left the dock one after another, keeping up with the pace of the aircraft carrier.

Put on a clean military uniform, Hua Jianfeng went to the combat center.

Although the space of the "Republic" is spacious than that of any Republic Navy ship, the space of the aircraft carrier is still relatively narrow compared to the land base.

After finally coming to the Navigation Island in front of him, Hua Jianfeng was almost the last important officer to arrive.

"Everyone has seen the combat plan." Lin Xiaolei took the position that originally belonged to Yuan Renshi. "Our mission is very simple, to cover the landing troops to recover the Nansha Islands occupied by Vietnam, expel and attack Vietnamese warships entering the South China Sea waters, and seize the battlefield air supremacy."

The officers all looked serious.

"This is the first time the 'Republic' is carrying out a combat mission, and it is also the first time the 'Republic's naval aircraft carrier battle group's 'Republic's naval aircraft carrier battle group'" Lin Xiaolei's expression was more serious. "Although various tactics and tactics have been verified and tested in the early exercises and training, actual combat is not training. On the battlefield, the loser will never have a second chance. No matter how weak the enemy is or how vulnerable we are, we cannot underestimate the enemy, let alone treat war as a joke. Everyone is a veteran of battle. Some officers have seen more big scenes than me. I don't want anyone to make the slightest low-level mistakes on the battlefield. The country trusts us and handes the most difficult task to us, and we should achieve the best results. I have only one requirement, and everyone must fight this battle with the idea of ​​dealing with the United States and the most powerful enemy. From now on, the 'Republic' aircraft carrier battle group enters the state of combat!"

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, and Hua Jianfeng also felt his heartbeat speed much faster.

After serving in the army for more than 20 years, this is the first time he has participated in a combat operation on a ship other than a submarine.

After strict discipline, Lin Xiaolei began to assign tasks to each combat department.

As the joint commander of the submarine combat of the battle group, Hua Jianfeng has two main tasks: one is to arrange combat tasks for the submarines that accompany the battle group to fight, and the other is to be responsible for anti-submarine operations in the fleet.

The burden is not light and the pressure is very high.

Because the combat waters are within the cover of the shore-based aviation force, the "Republic" does not operate alone. The Navy Air Force will provide air defense cover for the aircraft carrier battle group, and the Air Force will also provide support if necessary. Vietnam does not have an air force that poses a threat to the "Republic" aircraft carrier battle group, and the threat from the air is not great.

Relatively speaking, it comes from under the sea and has a greater threat.

As early as the beginning of this century, Vietnam introduced the 2877 Kilo-class diesel-electric submarine from Russia. Although by this time, Kilo-"submarine" was no longer considered an advanced conventional submarine, and the combat capability of the 877 type land was far inferior to that of the 636 type, but in the relatively narrow and hydrological conditions, and the islands made up for the South China Sea, any lurking submarine could pose a fatal threat to the passing aircraft carrier battle group.

Don't be afraid of one, just be afraid of what.

No one can guarantee that the battle group of the USS Republic will not be unlucky, and happened to "step" the lurking Vietnamese submarine.

After the meeting, Hua Jianfeng immediately asked his staff to contact the shore-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft and arranged and deployed the fleet's outer anti-submarine patrol.

The "Republic" is not equipped with a fixed-wing anti-submarine patrol aircraft, and long-range anti-submarine mainly relies on dock-based patrol aircraft.

With years of experience, Hua Jianfeng is very clear about the importance of peripheral anti-submarine. If the submarine is allowed to reach a position where the aircraft carrier can be attacked with torpedoes through the peripheral anti-submarine network, as long as the captain is not a coward who is afraid of death, the aircraft carrier will face the test of a life-and-death death.

Whether the enemy submarine can be discovered as soon as possible is the key to the success or failure of anti-submarine operations! (To be continued,)
