Siheyuan: The Era of Core Generation

Chapter 210
"Commander, could it be that the military region received some information that caused the formation to separate?" Seeing that General Xu was so angry, the staff quickly expressed his guess.

At this time, our command is mostly carried out by telegram.It is very possible that the ships in the accident area sent a telegram to the military region, and the military region directly issued an order to the transport formation, so no one had time to notify the Southern Fleet headquarters.

"Well, it's very possible, but it may also be the order from the former finger. Alas, it is a big problem to unify the command in this naval battle." General Xu was reminded by the staff and thought of this problem.Now in the southern waters, all command is by telegraph.The troops are all in the vast sea, and it is impossible to even think about talking.Not only the telegram exchange between the headquarters and the troops, but also the exchange of information and intelligence between the command organizations.

If this is normal, once the matter is urgent and the amount of information is large, the translators will not have time to translate a large number of telegrams, so they can only pick up the important ones and translate them first.

"Immediately send a report to the former finger and the military region to report the information we have received."Although they knew that such an approach would only make the headquarters more busy, there was no other way, such a battle report had to be sent.

"What else did the telegram say?" Commander Xu asked this question, seeing that the communications staff hadn't left yet, he continued to ask.

"Commander, there is a strange sentence in the telegram, saying that we want us to forward it to the Zhennan Detachment." The communications staff looked at the few words on the telegram, and really didn't understand what it meant.

"Strange words, what words?"

"The fish are breathing in the sea, the seagulls are singing, and they are counting the fish silently..., the mother duck is full, and she is wandering around the fish with three or two ducklings." The staff officer said awkwardly to Xu The general read the telegram once, then looked at the commander, waiting for the commander's order.

"Is this a secret word?" Commander Xu has fought all his life, and when he heard this, he felt it was a secret word to convey information.But he didn't know what it meant.

"It looks like it, but why does the Zhennan Detachment have a code word that we don't know?" The communication staff was puzzled, he was engaged in communications, and the entire fleet had no code word that he didn't know.Of course, he doesn't know if he doesn't belong to the Southern Fleet.

"Forward it immediately, and ask the transport ship who sent the message, who is it for!" General Xu didn't think much, and asked the communications staff to send the message.

……

Zhennan Island, Zhennan Detachment.

"Detachment leader, telegram from the headquarters!" Gao Mingyuan, who was checking the post, immediately took the telegram and read it when he heard the correspondent's report.

I didn't understand it!
"What does this mean? Why don't I remember that we have such a secret language." Gao Mingyuan asked involuntarily.

"Captain, are they from the platform ship?" After all, the correspondent had a lot of contact with this, and immediately remembered the platform ship under the leadership of General Cheng. After all, they were not part of the Zhennan detachment in principle.Sometimes they also borrow the radio station here to send some information.

"Well, it's possible, let's go, let's take it to the old chief, and we'll find out after asking." Gao Mingyuan didn't bother to check the post, and immediately drove to the direction of the shipyard with his correspondent.

At this time, the ship repair yard is no longer what it was at the beginning.All kinds of machinery are almost full of the berth, and a big ship is docking at the pier here.From the appearance, it can be clearly seen that this is an aircraft carrier.However, people with a little military common sense will be confused by its size and ship shape when they see this aircraft carrier.

As an aircraft carrier, it is really too small, and because it is transformed from a ro-ro ship, there is still a ramp at the stern of the ship that can be lapped on the pier, so that vehicles can drive directly from the pier to go in the boat.

Gao Mingyuan has seen this boat more than once, and every time he sees it, he feels an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Gao Mingyuan, why did you come to my place?" General Cheng usually lives on the ship if he has nothing else to do. In addition, the ship's seaworthiness and training are very frequent recently, so he didn't do anything at this time. Leave the ship and live at home.

"Chief, take a look at this. It was just sent by the Southern Fleet Headquarters." Gao Mingyuan didn't dare to delay any longer. As soon as General Cheng asked, he took out the message.

General Cheng frowned when he saw the telegram.

Of course he could understand the words on it.Among other things, the code name of Mother Duck was chosen by Zhao Ye.At the beginning, General Cheng said that this name was not good-sounding more than once, and asked Zhao Ye to change it.

"I ordered that the emergency assembly number be blown immediately, and everyone arrive at the combat position immediately, and the logistics immediately refuel the ship, add ammunition, replenish supplies, and be ready to sail at any time." General Cheng is also a person who has fought for half his life. Telegram, we know that the maritime conflicts frequently mentioned by the superiors recently may have really escalated.

Although there is no order to let them go, but at this time, it is always right to prepare.

"Yes! Blow the emergency assembly number! Get ready to sail." Gao Mingyuan immediately repeated the order loudly.Then left immediately.

The information expressed in this telegram is far more than that. General Cheng handed the telegram to the people of the UAV Research Institute for special decryption.Soon, a message was decrypted.

"Chief, this is a telegram from Zhao Ye. According to the plan, he should be on the transport ship coming over now. But they may have encountered some special circumstances. This telegram is just to let us urgently dispatch the seagull drone and hang it on the communication The pod and the anti-sea radar pod rushed to the target sea area for reconnaissance. In addition, it is suggested that the platform ship rush to the sea area where the incident occurred under the cover of other ships."

"Well, something must have happened." Although General Cheng's military rank is higher than Gao Mingyuan's, Gao Mingyuan is the captain of the Zhennan Detachment, so he said to Gao Mingyuan: "Gao Mingyuan, send a report to the headquarters immediately to explain Our detachment will send reconnaissance drones to investigate the sea area where the accident occurred. In addition, the Zhennan detachment is ready to set off and is ready to support at any time."

"Yes!"

After arranging the affairs here, General Cheng contacted the UAV Research Institute as soon as possible and ordered them to immediately send Seagull UAVs to the sea area where the incident occurred for investigation.

"Chief, the Seagull UAV is a low-speed UAV, and it will take at least four hours to get there. Do you think we should let the Thunder UAV go to investigate first?" said the director of the UAV Research Institute. suggested.

"Well, yes, it is possible, but Leiden can't come back if he rushes over." Leiden is a high-altitude and high-speed drone. Although it flies fast, it can't fly far.Such a long distance means that lightning flying over is a one-time consumable.

"Yeah, it would be great if the platform boat can pass by."

"Well, we still need to drive the ship there. I'll go and ask the commander for instructions." General Cheng has long wanted to see the actual combat capabilities of this drone carrier he had high hopes for. Hope this ship goes to war.Even if you don't go to the front line, it's good to provide some support nearby.

……

10:30 p.m., Southern Fleet Command.

"Report, the Zhennan detachment will call back."

"Read!"

"The Zhennan Detachment has received a secret word from the headquarters. This secret word is a message between the United Factory and the Zhennan UAV Factory. Now the UAV Research Institute has sent a Seagull UAV to investigate the sea area where the incident occurred. It is expected to Arrive at around [-]:[-], and you can stay in the incident area for three hours. In addition, my drone platform ship has been prepared, and I request to go to the vicinity of the incident sea area to provide support nearby."

"Oh? Is it possible to investigate by plane? There is something new from Old Cheng?" Commander Xu frowned, and the joy on his face was beyond words.At this time, waiting is the most difficult thing. If aerial reconnaissance can be carried out, it is undoubtedly the best.

Commander Xu stood in front of the map, looked at it carefully for a while, and then ordered: "Send a report to the Zhennan Detachment, order the platform ship, and form a formation with 5521, 5522 escort boats, and 277 boats, commanded by General Cheng, and go to the No. [-] sea area to stand by. The rest of the ships have entered the first level of combat readiness, under the command of Gao Mingyuan, and their mission is to defend the enemy from attacking the Zhennan sea area."

The order was issued, but Commander Xu's heart did not calm down. To be honest, such an arrangement was risky.As the commander of the fleet, how could he not know what a platform ship is.Now only one 6604-type submarine hunter and two missile escort boats are sent to accompany it, so its self-defense force appears to be very insufficient.Once encountering an enemy, it is quite dangerous.Therefore, out of caution, Commander Xu only let him go to No. [-] sea area, which is far east of the accident sea area. There is a torpedo boat brigade there, which can provide some protection for this formation.

After receiving the order, General Cheng immediately issued the order to sail.Since receiving the first telegram, all the ships in the entire Zhennan base were preparing to sail. At this time, the order came down, and the ships immediately set off for the target area.

However, General Cheng did not completely arrange the formation of ships according to the order of the headquarters. In addition to the two escort boats and one submarine hunter pointed out by his superiors, General Cheng also brought two more supply ships.These two ships were also refitted from civilian ships.The ship repair yard has upgraded their power. Although they still can't keep up with the speed of the fleet, the difference is not too big.

Due to the addition of two supply ships, the march of the entire fleet became 5521, followed by the UAV carrier, 277 submarine hunters accompanied by the left rear of the aircraft carrier, and 5522 by the right rear.However, 5522 cannot always follow the aircraft carrier. He has to use his high speed to turn back from time to time to provide escort for the supply ship.

The reason why it is necessary to bring two supply ships as a "burden" is because whether it is a submarine hunter or an escort boat, their cruising range is not large. If they want to fully play their role, then there must be such two supply ships in the formation. Boat.If it is normal, for the sake of safety, the formation must take care of the speed of the two ships and keep sailing at 18 knots.However, now that the situation is urgent, they have to be left behind.
