Volume 7 Peninsula Gun Smoke Chapter 116 Dangerous
Before the news about the "April" was reported, Hua Jianfeng had just contacted the nearest one:
The attacks of the "Jiang Porpoise" and "Swordfish" were very "excellent", and all six Korean submarines were sunk. However, the results reported by the "Jiang Porpoise" and "Swordfish" were not consistent. Liu Haifeng determined that he had achieved 6 results, but Le Jiacheng believed that at least three of them belonged to the "Swordfish". It was a very troublesome thing to determine the results, and the Navy Command had to make a final ruling, which had nothing to do with Hua Jianfeng.
In order to confirm that the threat in the northwest direction of the fleet had been lifted, Hua Jianfeng asked the anti-submarine patrol aircraft to search.
The "Jiang Porpoise" and the "Swordfish" will not leave the combat waters immediately. Liu Haifeng and Le Jiacheng are both excellent submarine captains. After completing the attack, the two submarines will enter a hidden state again and use passive sonar to search the surrounding waters. If nothing unexpected happens, the "Jiang Porpoise" and the "Swordfish" will accompany the aircraft carrier battle group during the entire battle period.
What happened next made Hua Jianfeng feel a real threat.
“When did you receive it?”
“Just received it.”
Hua Jianfeng frowned slightly and glanced at the large screen showing the situation in the war zone.
The report of the "April" is very detailed, not only mentioning the exact location of the US submarine, but also mentioning the number.
3 "811" is definitely a major threat.
The key is that Du Xinghua clearly mentioned in the report that there are likely other American submarines nearby.
What exactly does the US military want to do?
Hua Jianfeng took a deep breath and turned his gaze to the vast sea south of the fleet.
Conventional submarines cannot catch up with the aircraft carrier battle group. Attack nuclear submarines can easily catch up with surface warships. 3 "8111" deliberately exposed their whereabouts in the east, attracting the attention of anti-submarine forces and creating opportunities for other submarines.
Will American submarines take the initiative to attack the Republic's regional air combat group?
Although Hua Jianfeng is not willing to admit it, he has to admit it. As long as the American submarine flees after the attack battle group, who can prove that it is an American submarine on the ground? Or, the site in the attack mission is not an American submarine at all. It is a Korean submarine lurking down.
It's not that simple!
Hua Jianfeng rubbed his temples and began to deduce in reverse.
After confirming the whereabouts of the three "8111" ships, the most normal way is to let the aircraft carrier battle group maneuver westward, dispatch anti-submarine helicopters, anti-submarine patrol aircraft and anti-submarine warships to monitor the whereabouts of US submarines. In this way, the anti-submarine forces in the combat group will be concentrated in the east of the fleet.
The real threat comes from the west!
No, it should be north or south.
While strengthening the anti-submarine search efforts in the east of the battle group, we must strengthen the anti-submarine search forces in the west. A truly outstanding captain will ambush the north or south of the battle group and launch an attack while the battle group turns.
There is a warship in the battle group, and it is impossible to turn like a warship.
When turning, anti-submarine forces must be redeployed to create an anti-submarine vacuum, creating the best chance of sneak attacks for submarines. Hua Jianfeng directed the "Swordfish" to attack Indian aircraft carriers in the Jiude Strait, and also used the anti-submarine vacuum that appeared when the Indian aircraft carrier battle group turned.
If the submarines can be deployed in advance to the south and north of the fleet, the aircraft carrier can be attacked in the best way.
In this case, not to mention attacking nuclear submarines, conventional submarines can pose a fatal threat to aircraft carriers.
Thinking of this, Hua Jianfeng breathed a sigh of relief.
The US military is aware of the strength of the Republic's naval submarine force and will not risk attacking the Republic's aircraft carrier battle group. Otherwise, the US aircraft carrier battle group that is still active in the Western Pacific will be subject to retaliatory blows from the Republic's navy. Neither the current president nor the elected president can make a reasonable explanation to the people.
The battle group of the aircraft carrier must be a Korean submarine!
After the outbreak of the Peninsula War, the six 2211-class and six conventional submarines of the South Korean Navy left the port one after another. The maximum self-sustaining force of the 2211-class is heaven, the maximum submarine time is 24 days, the maximum self-sustaining time of the Tiger Shark class is 60 days, and the maximum submarine time is 22 days. Because the Korean Navy does not have several decent warships, the Republic's Navy did not send warships into the Sea of Japan, nor does it allow the fleet to approach the Korean Peninsula, so the South Korean Navy will not let submarines deal with Korean warships, nor will it send submarines to the Sea of Japan.
There is only one mission for Korean submarines: guarding Jeju Island!
The 3~2211 and 3 "tiger sharks" that have not appeared must have arrived in the southern waters of Jeju Island in advance, waiting for the Republic fleet to take the initiative to deliver it to you!
The noise emitted by level 2211 and "Tiger Shark" level when lurking will not exceed 80 baht, and it is difficult to detect by passive sonar.
The water depth of the southern waters of Jeju Island is between 200 meters and 80 meters. There are dozens of shallow water areas suitable for submarines to sink and lurk, and a large number of shallow sea trenches that are very suitable for submarine ambushing.
If a Korean submarine sinks to the bottom of the sea or floats in the trench, the anti-submarine power in the fleet will definitely not be discovered.
what to do?
Hua Jianfeng took out a cigarette and lit one quickly. The staff officer next to him glanced at the commander of the battle group and said nothing more.
The performance of the 2211 level and the "Tiger Shark" level is good.
The 2211 level adopts the "third generation hydroxide ion membrane fuel cell" and ferroalloy battery developed by Germany in 20211.
The flight speed reached 24 knots (the fastest conventional submarine), which can take 24 days. The most terrifying thing is that the 2211 class is the first conventional submarine to use 650mm heavy torpedoes. It is arranged in the craft~~the ground-mounted torpedo launch tube, and is used to launch 650mm heavy torpedoes below! The dat22 heavy torpedo developed by Germany is specially used to deal with surface warships. The charge volume of up to 250 kg (the total weight of the battle head is 650 kg) is enough to paralyze a medium-sized aircraft carrier, and 2 can severely damage a large aircraft carrier like the "Huaxia" class.
The performance of the "Tiger Shark" class is slightly worse than that of the 2211 class. It uses a "mixed fuel independent cycle generator" developed by France on the basis of "closed cycle diesel engines", which not only reduces the noise by several decibels, but also increases the submarine capacity from 1 to 22 days. When sitting in a sinking position, the "Tiger Shark" class can turn off the generator and provide electricity from a ferroalloy battery to minimize the noise of the submarine. Although the "Tiger Shark" class is not equipped with a 650mm heavy torpedo, the 533mm torpedo it can still severely damage the aircraft carrier.
South Korean submarines will definitely not use missiles to attack aircraft carriers, at least they will not use missiles first.
The 2211 class is equipped with the Nordic Storm submarine-launched anti-ship missile with a range of more than 350 kilometers, while the Tiger Shark class is equipped with the Flying Fish**48 anti-ship missile with a range of 300 kilometers. If a Korean submarine is ready to attack the aircraft carrier with missiles, the six ships killed by the "Jiang Porpoise" and "Swordfish" will remain in the strait in the northern strait of Jeju Island and will not create sneak attack opportunities for their companions by self-sacrificing.
Because the 2211 class and the "Tiger Shark" class do not have a vertical missile launch system, even if anti-ship missiles are used, the six submarines will launch a missile at most at the same time, which will not pose a great threat to the aircraft carrier battle group.
To use torpedoes, you have to shorten the attack distance to within 30 kilometers.
The maximum range of dat22 exceeds 70 kilometers, and the actual effective range will not exceed 40 kilometers. The maximum range of the French "Black Shark" heavy anti-ship torpedo is kilometers, and the actual effective range will not exceed 2c kilometers.
The search scope has been greatly reduced, but the problem is equally serious.
Because the aircraft carrier battle group has three aircraft carriers, the anti-submarine search area is not a circle, but a three circle with three aircraft carriers as the center and a radius of kilometers. When performing ground strike missions, the distance between the aircraft carriers is generally maintained at more than 20 kilometers. From this, it can be calculated that the area of the anti-submarine search area is about 12,000 square kilometers. One anti-submarine helicopter can only search about 500 square kilometers per time, one anti-submarine patrol aircraft can search 2,500 square kilometers per time, one anti-submarine warship can continuously monitor square kilometers, and one submarine can continuously monitor square kilometers. The problem is that when aerial launches and recovers carrier-based aircraft, the carrier-based helicopters on the aircraft carrier must be grounded, and the anti-submarine patrol aircraft cannot enter the airplane battle group (avoid collision with carrier-based fighter jets), and the anti-submarine warships must maintain a distance of 1 meter from the aviation industry. It can be said that aircraft carriers are the most fragile at this time.
Even if it is supported by the anti-submarine patrol aircraft, the search work cannot be completed.
Hua Jianfeng is very stubborn. The only thing that can really play a role is the submarines that cover the battle group.
"Have the anti-submarine patrol aircraft arrived over the combat waters?"
The communications consultant who was asked was stunned for a moment and said, "It will arrive soon."
"Contact the anti-submarine patrol aircraft." Hua Jianfeng breathed a sigh of relief, "Contact the 'River Porpoise' and 'Swordfish' as soon as possible, so that they can get close to the aircraft carrier battle group immediately and carry out anti-submarine alert missions."
"Close to the aircraft carrier battle group?"
"Yes, the closer you get, the better." Hua Jianfeng paused and said, "Let the submarines that can be contacted be concentrated near the combat group, closely monitor the surrounding waters. If unknown objects are found, you can use active attack sonar. You must find the Korean submarine ambushing near the combat group at all costs."
The communications officer did not ask any more questions and immediately contacted the anti-submarine patrol aircraft in the northwest direction.
Hua Jianfeng rubbed his temples, and there was only so much he could do.
Any submarine will be prepared before attacking a sea-surface warship, at least float to the depth of the attack, inject water into the torpedo launcher, and open the outer cover of the launcher. These actions will make a lot of noise and expose the location of the submarine. If there happens to be a submarine performing an anti-submarine mission nearby, there will be a chance to launch an attack first.
Perhaps, submarine captains such as Liu Haifeng and Le Jiacheng will once again complete the task with outstanding performance.
Before Hua Jianfeng could recover, Zhang Weichang came to the command center.
"Time is up?"
"There is half an hour left." Zhang Weichang glanced at his watch, "How is it, there is no trouble, right?"
"A little trouble, trying to solve it."
Zhang Weichang nodded and didn't ask much, because the first round of attack was about to begin.
