Chapter 44: The Information That Rewrites Destiny(1/2)
When he was crying, Hua Jianfeng ignored a ruthless character
Beijing time 3 thugs fell at 0:00 a.m., Zhang Xuefeng received the "red code hidden weiqian from the Strategic Communication Channel. This code consisting of multiple characters of the blade is a signal of the outbreak of war. According to the Navy's Operations Regulations, after receiving the code, the captain will enter the code into the fire control computer, open the top-secret file stored in it, and then announce the content of the document to all the officers and soldiers of the boat. Generally, the content of the document is a combat order issued by the General Staff.
It only took 3 minutes to complete this program.
There is only one combat order: free hunting.
Compared with combat orders, combat plan is no secret. When Zhang Xuefeng left the submarine base, he received a combat plan sent by the Navy Command. Obtaining combat orders was equivalent to letting Zhang Xuefeng go, allowing him to actively attack any enemy ships in the area without being attacked, friendly forces were not attacked, and other troops did not launch attacks.
This is very different from the way Xiao Jingbo participated in the war.
Although Xiao Jingbo also received a similar order before joining the war, when he commanded the "Lizard Whale" to enter the battle, other troops had already launched an attack. In this way, even without the combat orders issued by the General Staff, he should assist friendly forces in annihilation of the enemy.
Of course, this order has little impact on Zhang Xuefeng.
The first four people received the order said that the Little Bainbridge Class air defense cruiser, the "Zumwalter" class multi-purpose destroyer and the "White" class anti-submarine destroyer. This number coincides with the number of warships that the United States "free aid and gives to India."
Although Zhang Xuedia is so bold, he is very cautious when fighting.
It was confirmed that it was after the Eastern Indian Fleet. Zhang Xuefeng did not launch a rash attack. Instead, he quietly followed the buttocks of the Eastern Indian Fleet and waited for the best time.
It’s not that Zhang Xuefeng is not sure, nor that he doesn’t have the courage, but that he doesn’t want to miss more opportunities.
With the strength of the "Drut Whale", it is not difficult to attack the Zhang aircraft carrier at the same time. The difficult thing is that the "Drut Whale" cannot kill all the warships of the Eastern Fleet alone. It is impossible to escape unscathed.
Waiting is not at your own expense.
Shortly before the war broke out, the passive sonar of the Orca Whale discovered four underwater targets and determined that it was a key to a fully electric attack submarine produced by the United States.
Compared with the warships on the sea, those four submarines are cautious about the thugs.
When arranging the attack mission, Zhang Xuefeng's secret submarine was placed in front.
For Qian Weiweichang, achieving results is very important, whether you can "enjoy" the results is even more important.
Zhang Xuefeng was not in a hurry at all because he knew that there would definitely be a better chance in the future.
In order to deal with the Indian Navy, the Navy Command's combat strategy, Go thugs, were very detailed. Different plans were formulated for different situations. It was clearly mentioned in the "Plan C". If the Indian Navy divides its troops and one fleet goes south to block the Sunda Strait, and another fleet is active within the cover of the shore-based air force near the Andaman Nicoba Islands, each combat force should act like this.
That's right, Zhang Xuefeng concluded that Hua Jianfeng would send a carrier-based reconnaissance aircraft here.
The Western Fleet has been discovered long ago, but the Eastern Fleet has not appeared for a long time. Even if Hua Jianfeng knows nothing about aviation combat, he should act according to the plan. Before attacking the Western Fleet, he sent a reconnaissance plane to search for the Andaman Nicobar Islands quietly near the waters, striving to find the Eastern Fleet and prepare for the second round of attacks.
The seas where the eastern Indian fleet is located do not exceed the navy's predictions.
In this way, the reconnaissance planes will sooner or later discover the eastern fleet of India. Although Hua Jianfeng will first attack the western fleet and then attack the eastern fleet, he will definitely be able to attack the eastern fleet during the time of Jigo's thug.
This is the opportunity that Zhang Xuefeng is waiting for.
The thug: The submarine cannot deal with many warships, but can catch fish in troubled waters and catch a few big guys.
From this we can also see the difference between Zhang Xuefeng and Xiao Jingbo.
If Xiao Jingbo is lucky and enters the battle at the best time, then Zhang Xuefeng is taking the initiative to create opportunities and waiting for the best time to come.
All Zhang Xuefeng had to do was wait patiently for a few hours.
The war breaks out before 0 points, and the group will attack the Western Indian fleet before the thugs point. Including the preparation time for return and reattack, as well as the one-way flight time, the group of attackers will launch an attack on the Eastern fleet before the point Feng points to the point Feng points.
For a submarine that has been in the sea for several months, 4 hours is not a long time.
But what puzzled many people was that Zhang Xuefeng did nothing in these 4 hours.
To be precise, the whereabouts of the eastern Indian fleet were not reported to the Submarine Command.
Later, this question caused Zhang Xuefeng to be recommended. Many people even said that he was "the second place in Liu Haifeng."
Judging from the situation at that time, Zhang Xueniu did not send a message. It was not that he did not know the importance of reporting the whereabouts of the Eastern Fleet, but that he believed that there was no need and the risk was too great.
First of all, Hua Jianfeng dispatched reconnaissance aircraft according to the combat plan. He would definitely be able to find the eastern Indian fleet, and there was no need for a thug. The "Drut Whale" was inserted into the first move. If Hua Jianfeng did not arrange reconnaissance aircraft, it would indicate that the fleet was in trouble and would not attack the eastern Indian fleet. Then it would be irrelevant whether the "Drut Whale" had reported the situation.
Secondly, the "Drut Whale" follows too close. If you venture to the periscope, the confidentiality of the communication technology is very high and it is not easy to be discovered by the Bear: Eryun Ship, and the communication equipment must be extended out of the sea. If there happens to be an anti-submarine aircraft performing patrol missions nearby, the "Drut Whale" will be in danger.
More importantly, the "Drut Whale" not only needs to monitor the powerful warships on the sea, but also monitor the underwater fully electric attack submarine. If you send a message to the depth of the periscope, you must definitely leave the target. There is no problem with the warships on the water. Whether you can find the fully electric attack submarine that is sailing at extremely low speeds again is a problem. The safety of the lost submarine "Drut Whale" is even less guaranteed.
Besides, the combat order is to "freely hunt" the thugs, so there is no need to worry too much.
That's right, those accusations did not have much impact on Zhang Xuefeng because he acted according to the order and did not violate the combat order.
Of course, this 4-hour wait is definitely not easy.
When Molowan sent out the reconnaissance aircraft, Zhang Xuefeng almost issued an attack order, because no matter what mission the island 4 performs, the noise emitted during takeoff is almost the same, and the submarine cannot make an accurate judgment. If it weren't for the takeoff Ma Si that had only had so many, I'm afraid Zhang Xuefeng would think that the eastern Indian fleet had discovered the target and launched the attack first. As a submarine, he had no choice at this time. He had to launch an attack immediately to prevent the Zhe aircraft carrier from sending more carrier-based fighters.
Subsequently, the Indian fleet sent carrier-based early warning aircraft and several old fighter aircraft.
Zhang Xuefeng wanted to do it several times, but finally he held it back.
It is impossible for the Republic's Naval Fleet to be threatened by only not deploying the Blade Fleet.
When Molowan asked the air defense fighter to take off, Zhang Xuefeng became excited again.
This time, we were not dispatching multiple fighter jets, but focusing on fighter jets. Obviously, this is a strike force that cannot be underestimated.
In the end, calmness defeated impulse.
Although Zhang Xuefeng had never worked in the aviation force, he knew that the eastern Indian fleet could not send fighter jets. It was not to attack Hua Jianfeng's fleet, but to perform other tasks. If the eastern Indian fleet discovered the target and launched an attack, at least it had to send thugs to fighter jets. More importantly, the attack aircraft group should take off at the same time, rather than take off in three batches.
It was obvious that Zhang Xuezheng had the idea of waiting.
Soon, the abnormal actions of the eastern Indian fleet made Zhang Xuebei see hope.
Shortly after the third batch of fighter jets were launched, the eastern Indian fleet adjusted its queue and changed from a ferry formation to an air defense formation.
This surprised Zhang Xuefeng because he did not notice that the eastern Indian fleet had sent more air defense fighters.
Immediately afterwards, the eastern Indian fleet changed its queue twice in half an hour.
At 3:00 Beijing time, the eastern Indian fleet turned south and its speed decreased to the old festival.
These actions made Zhang Xuefeng even more confused.
Of course, Zhang Xuefeng didn't know that Molowan was facing a very difficult decision.
According to Molowan's inference, if the Chinese fleet had entered the Strait of Malacca and advanced towards the Andaman Sea, the reconnaissance aircraft would find the Chinese fleet before 3 o'clock in Beijing time. Although it was already 3 o'clock in the morning of Beijing time, Molowan still had no news, but he did not give up his efforts. The reconnaissance aircraft had turned back at around 2 o'clock and carried out a second round of reconnaissance on the Strait of Malacca. If the Chinese fleet avoided the first round of reconnaissance, the probability of being discovered by the second round of reconnaissance is very high. In other words, before 3 o'clock, the reconnaissance aircraft could still discover the Chinese fleet.
There is also the thug, Fan Zhong, who knows whether the Chinese fleet has entered the Strait of Malacca.
The problem facing Molowan is. What should I do if the Chinese fleet did not enter the Strait of Malacca, or the reconnaissance aircraft and early warning aircraft he sent did not discover the Chinese fleet?
Arrange a second round of reconnaissance?
The risk is too great and very unrealistic.
Turn around and return?
The previous efforts were in vain and the Western Fleet was also in vain. Molowan was very unwilling to accept it.
However, Molowan knew very well that if the Chinese fleet did not enter the Strait of Malacca, it would mean that the Chinese fleet might have entered the East Indian Ocean from the Sunda Strait.
The key is, why did the fleet that had previously attacked the Western Fleet enter from the east?
Molowan was not surprised.
If the Chinese fleet had entered the East Indian Ocean from the Sunda Strait, the distance from the Western fleet would not exceed 1,000 meters. When carrying an external auxiliary fuel tank, it would be said that small objects would be between four kilometers.
In this way, the attack aircraft group sent by the Chinese fleet is likely to have deliberately launched an attack from the sky above Sumatra Island, causing the opponent to make a wrong judgment and allowing the opponent to spend energy searching for the Strait of Malacca.
If that's true, where did the aircraft attacking Andaman-Nicobar Islands come from?
Molowan quickly found the answer to this question.
If the Chinese Air Force had not sent bombers to bomb Andaman and Nicobar Islands, or Chinese shore-based fighters deployed in Myanmar, Thailand and other places launched an attack, it would have definitely not been a carrier-based fighter of the Chinese fleet.
Why do this?
Molowan was not confused, because his mother was a necessary means to deceive the enemy.
So what is the purpose of the Chinese fleet to deceive its opponents?
Thinking of this, Molowan didn't have much trust in the car.
All the situations show that the Chinese fleet is either moving north quickly and using a series of deceptions to keep the eastern fleet in the southern waters of the Bay of Bengal waiting for a decisive battle with the Chinese fleet; or
The foreign hinterland is very talked about. Prepare to travel to the eastern fleet and head to Arabia
In either case, the Eastern Fleet must leave the southern waters of the Bay of Bengal as soon as possible.
The question is, should we go north or retreat west?
Molovan was undecided and had to tell Fernandez.
Of course, Zhang Xuefeng didn't need to know what Molowan was thinking.
The eastern Indian fleet turned south. This was a direct expression of Molowan's subjective intention. Because in Molowan's view, as long as he could seize the opportunity, he had the ability to severely damage and even annihilate the Chinese fleet. The prerequisite was that the eastern fleet must show the Chinese fleet and launch an attack. In this way, he had to send a second batch of reconnaissance aircraft as soon as possible to search for the waters near the Sunda Strait. The eastern Indian fleet reduced its speed to the old festival, which showed Molowan's concerns. More than two hours had passed. As long as the Chinese fleet determined the whereabouts of the eastern Indian fleet, it could send fighters as soon as half an hour later and launch an attack before morning Beijing time. In this way, the eastern Indian fleet must turn north as soon as possible, increase the distance, and try to leave the strike range of the Chinese fleet's attack aircraft group.
What Zhang Xueguang has to do is just try to keep an eye on the eastern Indian fleet. Don’t let the fish that entered the net slip away.
However, the situation changed much faster than Zhang Xuefeng expected.
After reporting the situation to Fernandez, Molovan only waited for a minute and received a new order. He immediately led the fleet back to the northwest and prepared for the fleet's air defense.
Obviously, Fernandez does not believe that the Eastern Fleet can face the Chinese Fleet alone.
While ordering Molovan to return immediately, Fernandez also issued an order to the Air Force. Fighter planes were dispatched immediately to escort the Eastern Fleet.
