Great Power Ship

Chapter 157 Sonar (for Subscription)

"What did you say? Say it again, what do they use to remove mines?" Lin Haiyang only felt that his ears had misheard. He used a 37mm anti-aircraft ship to mine mines?
I don't know if the commander of the blue formation is crazy or stupid.

The damage of naval guns to surface targets is obvious to all, but the damage to underwater targets is very limited.

After all, the density of sea water is more than 1000 times that of air. No matter how powerful the muzzle kinetic energy is, the naval gun can only push the shell a few meters in the sea water before it will completely fail.

If not, torpedoes would not be used to deal with underwater targets such as submarines. Wouldn't it be easier to bombard them with naval guns?

But the captain of the reconnaissance ship said that the blue formation was bombarding the underwater mines with 37mm anti-aircraft guns.

Although the old-fashioned aviation torpedoes imitating the Soviet Union in the 50s were used this time, and the fixed depth was only 8 meters, they were not reachable by shells.

Because of this, Lin Haiyang only felt that this statement was absurd and subversive, so he spoke with a somewhat harsh tone, which meant to tell the captain of his reconnaissance ship that his eyes should understand.

As a result, as soon as Lin Haiyang said this, the captain of the reconnaissance ship gave an equally unbelievable reply on the radio: "It's true, Commander, they are really using the ship's 37mm naval guns to shoot at underwater mine targets, and There are many targets that are hit with accuracy.

This is also an exercise. If it is an actual combat, what you will hear now is not only my report, but also the rumbling sound of mine explosions! "

The captain of the reconnaissance ship described it very graphically. There was no other way. The captain of the reconnaissance ship also knew that what happened before him was really weird. To put it more seriously, it had already overturned his cognition as a naval veteran.

It is true that the mines floating on the water can be guided by heavy machine guns, but underwater ballistics will be extremely distorted by the high-density seawater and lose their power. This is already common sense in the navy, but today this common sense has been shot by the blue team again and again. The 37mm anti-aircraft naval gun issued was broken!

Although Lin Haiyang couldn't hear the explosion, he could hear the crisp sound of the naval guns clearly through the radio.

Immediately, Lin Haiyang stopped questioning and confessed: "Where are you waiting for me!"

He quickly switched the channel and contacted the head of Fleet D, but before he could finish reporting the situation here, the head of Fleet D interrupted Lin Haiyang: "We have already cleared up the matter, and I have already reported to the Navy Command to let the blue formation rely on Hong Kong, I have to say that the N Fleet has done better than us in generating combat power in recent years, so Comrade Haiyang, you have to learn from this lesson, and learn a lot from the successful experience of brother troops in the exchange activities between the two sides later!"

The words of the head of Fleet D are tantamount to abandoning the son and admitting defeat. Although Lin Haiyang was a little unwilling, he did not insist, because he knew very well that the blue formation was avoiding a direct decisive battle with his red formation and chose to bombard the mines with naval artillery. The way to quickly open up the channel leading to a certain military port, the defeat of the red formation will be irreversible.

So he hurriedly asked the head of Fleet D for instructions, just to explain the current situation clearly, and then hoped to hold an experience exchange meeting between the two sides as soon as possible.

No way, if Lin Haiyang, a combat frogman, doesn’t understand why he can lurk underwater at 40 meters, but he hasn’t completely subverted his cognition, but the trick of hitting underwater mines with naval guns completely makes Lin Haiyang want to break it. I can't even figure out what's going on.

If you don't understand, you have to learn. After all, people who are more skilled will rub their heads against each other during the exercise. Fortunately, it is an exercise. If this is an actual combat with foreign troops, then Lin Haiyang will definitely be suffocated to death.

As the saying goes, it's never too late to mend a dead sheep, since there are brother troops, just learn from them!

It's just that I didn't expect the head of the D fleet to mean the same thing. It seems that the new things of the blue formation also made the heart of the head of the D fleet, which has been silent for many years, start to beat.

Since the red formation surrendered, there was no need to continue the exercise, and the blue formation immediately sailed into a certain military port according to the order of its superiors.

After a long-distance attack of more than 1000 kilometers and across many unfamiliar sea areas, the officers and soldiers of the blue formation can be said to be very tired.

This is also impossible. After all, the living conditions of various main battleships of the navy are not good at this time. Not to mention air conditioners, even the freezers for storing food are not popularized on all ships.

So the meals for the officers and soldiers can be imagined.

This is also the reason why the blue formation is marching along the coastline. It's not that they don't want to go to the far sea, but their own continuous combat capability is really limited. If they can't get rid of the shore-based supplies, they can't go far.

Therefore, from yellow water to blue water is not just a problem of large displacement of ships, but a highly comprehensive system engineering.

The blue team's northward march this time is a good illustration of this problem.

But apart from that, the series of combat operations and tactical arrangements of the blue formation this time are still remarkable. Because of this, when the commander of the blue formation, Meng Qingdong, came to a certain military port, he was called to come here. Greeting them with warm praise from the head of Fleet D.

After some compliments, the head of Fleet D asked with a smile: "By the way, the tactics you used in this exercise made us stumble, since the Navy Command asked us to be serious about this exercise. To sum up, as the losing party, we naturally have to implement the instructions of the Navy Command more seriously, and learn from our brother troops to deal with modern naval warfare."

Speaking of which, the head of Fleet D looked kindly at Meng Qingdong in front of him: "So Comrade Qingdong, don't hide from us, let alone cherish yourself with your broom, understand?"

Meng Qingdong really wanted to say that he didn't understand anything, but he couldn't say that at all. Let alone the fact that he was the chief, even if he wasn't, he couldn't refuse. After all, it was a fraternal army, and the exercises belonged to the exercises. After the exercises, they were still a family. .

What's more, Meng Qingdong was also a member of Fleet D in his early years, and he was transferred to Fleet N later. He still has feelings for his old army, so he nodded quickly: "Don't worry, chief, we have already explained the first battle of the fleet this time, and we are going to fight with brothers." The troops communicate more and learn more, since the brother troops are interested in several of our new equipment, then we will first show off the GD-2S semi-closed diving equipment equipped by the Marine Corps under the jurisdiction of our N Fleet..."

After speaking, Meng Qingdong asked Jiang Xudong and Tang Jianshe, who were wearing GD-2S semi-enclosed diving suits, to stand straight in front of the heads and leaders of the D fleet, and then introduced in detail one side of the GD-2S semi-enclosed diving suit. The composition and tactical application of diving equipment.

"Hey~~~ What is this? Is it also a spare auxiliary equipment for your fighting frogmen?" A black thing like a small suitcase on the table, can't help but ask curiously.

"Oh, this is a detection sonar for combat frogmen!" Meng Qingdong quickly replied.

Hearing this, the head of Fleet D opened his eyes wide: "Sonar? Is this sonar?"
