Chapter 65 Meeting Again

The landing of the US-South Korea coalition forces in Wonsan was a major turning point in the Second Korean War.

Although before this, Huang Zhibo had expected that the US military would open a second battlefield on the east coast of North Korea, accelerate the pace of advance northward, tear open the strategic defense line of the People's Army at the 39th North latitude from the flank, and promptly informed the Korean People's Army, but the main force of the People's Army was concentrated near Pyongyang, and the Yuanshan Guard had only one infantry division with a force of less than 10,000, and was no match for the US Army's First Marine Division.

The most difficult place to fight is not on the sea or on land, but in the sky.

As the Yuanshan landing battle began, the coalition forces pushed the air control advantage zone from 38 degrees north latitude to 39 degrees north latitude, bombed the People's Army air defense forces north of 39 degrees north latitude, concentrated their efforts to clear the air defense corridors established by the Volunteer Army, and focused on attacking the Volunteer Air Force.

Within four hours after the landing battle started, the two sides fought five air battles near the 39th direction of the north latitude.

Although the scale is not large, the US military's air advantage is very obvious, and it has achieved a zero-to-twenty-one exchange rate.

The tragic losses forced Liao Wengang to shrink the air defense corridor to the Yalu River line, focusing on intercepting coalition fighter jets that perform ground attack missions, and avoid competing with US air superiority fighter jets for air supremacy.

How to fight the F-22a has become the number one important task of the Volunteer Air Force.

The two pilots who fell behind enemy lines seemed crucial.

After receiving the battle report of the "Sea Snake", Huang Zhibo asked Xu Fengtao to issue an order to Wang Yuhan: go to the east coast of South Korea to bring back the rescued pilot.

This order made Wang Yuhan very annoyed and even made him regret it a little.

If the battle report had not been issued in time after ambushing the US transport fleet, Huang Zhibo would not have known that the "Sea Snake" had left the Busan Strait and was heading north to the Kiyung Port of North Korea, and would not have sent this order that would have been likely to bury the "Sea Snake" at the bottom of the sea.

Wang Yuhan didn't know that the "Sea Snake" was the first Chinese submarine to enter the Sea of ​​Japan and the only Chinese submarine to arrive in the Sea of ​​Japan at that time.

After ambushing the transport fleet, two conventional submarines of Type 039 were sunk by anti-submarine patrol aircraft one after another. The Type 040 submarine that ambushed the "Halsey" destroyer did not dare to enter the Busan Strait, but turned back to the Yellow Sea and finally arrived in Shinyiju, North Korea.

Because the South Korean Navy strengthened its anti-submarine patrol force on the west coast and deployed heavy troops in the Korean Strait, Mu Haoyang and his team had to go to the east coast of South Korea to strive to meet with the submarines.

The only one who can pick them up is Wang Yuhan's "Sea Snake".

At this time, Mu Haoyang and his team had arrived at Yuxi Town in Gangwon Province.

Ma Mingtao is indeed capable, not only did he get a rubber boat for them, but he also got nine sets of diving gear.

Pang Yuelong was teaching Yan Yingbo how to use diving equipment, and six special forces were guarding nearby.

"This is the meeting place with the submarine." Ma Mingtao gave the satellite locator to Mu Haoyang, and marked the location of the submarine with a prominent red mark. "It will arrive after about two hours. I will wait for four hours here. If the submarine does not come, you will have to come back."

"You won't go back with us?"

"Of course, I'm not a frogman." Ma Mingtao smiled and said, "Don't worry, with Major General An Zaixue under my custody, I'm very safe here."

Mu Haoyang also laughed. "So, I won't have a chance to meet again in the future?"

"That's not sure. Who knows if you will come to Korea again?" Ma Mingtao patted Mu Haoyang on the shoulder and said, "I am so worried on the road. Come back if you are in danger. Don't hold on, let's find another way."

"Okay, let's say goodbye."

The two shook hands without saluting, after all, this is South Korea.

Five minutes later, eight special forces and a pilot boarded a rubber boat and left the quiet harbor.

Because there are coalition patrol aircraft and early warning aircraft in the air, the rubber boat has no engine, and the eight special forces must row to the meeting place ten nautical miles away within two hours.

This is not a difficult task for Marine Special Forces.

Under the sea, when the "Sea Snake" had already submersed at a speed of twelve knots, it was about to arrive at the meeting place.

Close to South Korea's territorial waters, Wang Yuhan reduced his submersible speed to eight knots.

The "Sea Snake" used up all its bullets when ambushing the transport fleet. If it were not violent, it would be discovered by a Korean submarine lurking nearby, and would not even have the strength to fight back.

Wang Yuhan had to feel deeply grateful because the coalition forces did not expect that the submarine ambushing the "Gridley" would enter the Sea of ​​Japan.

After arriving at the rendezvous sea area, Wang Yuhan asked the engineer Huo Dezhi to turn off the thruster and sail around the rendezvous point with two nautical miles as a radius.

Not long after, the passive sonar detected the signal sent by the special forces using a high-frequency sound generator.

The "Sea Snake" hovered at a depth of twenty meters from the sea. Wang Yuhan personally rushed to the torpedo cabin to welcome the special forces who were crawling in from the torpedo tube.

No one expected that the special forces who crawled out of the torpedo tube a few days ago would return to the "Sea Snake" in the same way.

Seeing Mu Haoyang the last one to come in, Wang Yuhan shook his head with a smile.

"Lao Wang, we're meeting again."

"Yes, we're meeting again." Wang Yuhan smiled, "How is it, Korean kimchi tastes pretty good, right?"

"I haven't eaten it before, so I'm sure I can't compare to Fuling pickles." Mu Haoyang shook hands with Wang Yuhan, "I heard that you have done a lot of money in the Busan Strait and have gained a lot of results, right?"

"Almost, the torpedo missiles have been used up anyway." Wang Yuhan glanced at Yan Yingbo, whom he didn't know, and said, "Is this the pilot you went to rescue?"

"Yes, he is Captain Yan Yingbo." Mu Haoyang nodded and introduced Wang Yuhan again.

Yan Yingbo was not in a high mood, so he only shook hands with Wang Yuhan, probably not recovering yet.

"I have arranged an independent cabin for you. If you can't live there, you can set up a floor shop here." Wang Yuhan took Mu Haoyang and the others toward the command cabin. "The torpedoes are used up, and there are more than a dozen people here. When I first got on the submarine, I lived in the torpedo cabin."

"Did you learn fire control?"

"Of course not. The captain of the submarine was either from the Ministry of Navigation or from the Ministry of Turbine. The submarine was very narrow in space, and two people squeezed into a shop. The intern soldiers who had just boarded the submarine could only sleep on the shop." Wang Yuhan looked back at Mu Haoyang and said with a smile, "Now, each one is one shop. But my submarine is not like Lao Zhou's one, and I have left a shop for you special forces."

"Where are we going?" Mu Haoyang pulled the topic back.

"Qingjin Port."

"Qingjin?" Mu Haoyang was stunned for a moment and said, "North Korea port?"

"Yes, the order from the Volunteer Army Command, after you are accepted, go to Qingjin Port to report to the People's Army. We will replenish the ammunition there, repair the damaged tail ballast tank, and paint the People's Army logo. If everything goes well, we will go to sea again in half a month."

"You haven't heard the news?"

"What news?"

"The US-South Korea coalition forces have landed in Wonsan."

Wang Yuhan's brows jumped a few times, and his expression immediately became much more serious.

"I heard that the vote you made had a great impact on the coalition's combat operations. It is impossible to open a second landing site on the East Coast in the short term, so there should be no danger in Qingjin."

"I hope so."

Mu Haoyang knew that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately changed the subject and said, "When will we arrive in Qingjin?"

"In order to pick you up, the battery runs out, you can only use fuel cells. At the current speed, it will take about 40 xiǎo to arrive."

"It will take so long?"

"Maybe more than forty times."

"What's the meaning?"

"The Sea of ​​Japan is not the Yellow Sea."

Mu Haoyang was stunned for a moment, but still couldn't understand what Wang Yuhan meant.

"The average water depth of the Sea of ​​Japan is more than one thousand meters, which is very suitable for attack nuclear submarine combat. The US military has deployed three aircraft carrier battle groups and three amphibious fleets here. Conservatively estimated that at least six US attack nuclear submarines are active here." Wang Yuhan recalled the sea chart and said, "Although no South Korean submarines and American submarines have been found for the time being, we can only go north along the shallow water channel close to the coastline and cannot go directly to Qingjin. The range exceeds the straight line distance of about fifty nautical miles, and the navigation time will be more than ten hours."

"Will the US submarine come to shallow waters?"

"It shouldn't."

Mu Haoyang didn't ask questions, but he couldn't understand it anyway.

"Don't worry, we're sailing at very low speeds, with noise much lower than the background noise of the ocean. Unless the US submarine is less than ten nautical miles away from us, there will be no danger."

Wang Yuhan didn't explain much, and Mu Haoyang couldn't understand it even if he said too much.

At this time, the US military did not put its mind on the submarines of the ambush fleet.

Because there were two specialized transport ships in the sunken transport ships that were specially used to carry missiles and supplies provided to amphibious assault ships, the Marine Air Force deployed on the amphibious assault ships could not complete the bombing mission as planned. The US military had to mobilize nuclear submarines deployed in the Sea of ​​Japan to use cruise missiles to strike deep targets, reducing the combat burden of Marine Air Force and Navy Air Force.

Among these submarines, a cruise missile nuclear submarine modified from the Ohio class is played a key role.

According to the US-Russia strategic nuclear weapons reduction treaty, the United States can only retain fourteen strategic nuclear submarines, so the first four of the Ohio class, namely the ssbn726 "Ohio", the ssbn727 "Michigan", the ssbn728 "Florida" and the ssbn729 "Georgia" successively received transformations, removing the "Trident" submarine ballistic missiles and replacing them with the "Tomahawk" cruise missiles.

Unlike the cruise missile nuclear submarines built by the former Soviet Union such as the "Oscar", the main task of the four US cruise missile nuclear submarines is not to strike maritime targets, but to use cruise missiles to strike ground targets.

A cruise missile nuclear submarine can carry 154 cruise missiles, which is equivalent to the carrying capacity of all escort warships in an aircraft carrier battle group!

When the aviation force was busy and had no time to take care of it, cruise missile nuclear submarines became the U.S. Navy's attack weapon.

Among the firepower support of the first two attacks in landing operations, the Georgia launched 126 cruise missiles, which undertakes 25% of the depth strike mission. In addition to the 76 cruise missiles launched by seven attack nuclear submarines, the submarines undertakes a total of 40% of the depth strike mission.

Such powerful firepower support provides favorable guarantees for successful landing.
