Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Blue Army Joint Command Center.

Wen Zhaohui stood in front of the big screen. On the upper right corner of the screen were two P-8 anti-submarine aircraft.

This is an image simulated using AI, not a real aircraft.

Wen Zhaohui's identity at this moment is the commander of the Blue Pacific Fleet.

The background of this simulated war push was displayed on the screen of the laptop in front of him——

"...In a certain month of a certain year, a large-scale conflict broke out between the red and blue sides due to disputes over offshore islands. The blue side took advantage of the joint exercises of Western countries against the red side to launch a surprise attack, attacking the red side's fishery administration ship and ambushing the red side's fishery guards. The fleet secretly attacked the red side’s anti-submarine brigade and landed on Island D with force. The red side took counterattacks and decided to eliminate all military facilities and war potential in the blue side’s first island chain..."

On the screen, two P-8 anti-submarine aircraft are throwing anti-submarine sonar into the sea over a certain strait.

A sonar buoy is a buoy or hydroacoustic remote sensing equipment used to detect underwater submarines. It is a buoy-type hydroacoustic detection equipment placed on the water surface by anti-submarine aircraft and drones. It is a one-time use consumable equipment, generally cylindrical in shape, with a detachable rotary blade and antenna shield on the top, and a foldable umbrella antenna, UHF radio transmitter, acoustic signal amplifier, Sonar array, battery and buoy self-sinking device, etc.

After the sonar buoy is dropped into the water, it remains upright and floats in the water. The umbrella-shaped antenna extends out of the sea. The sonar array comes out of the shell and uses its gravity cable to droop to the predetermined working depth. After about 1 minute, the power supply is turned on and the buoy is ready. In working condition.

When a sonar buoy enters the water and is in working condition, after detecting a submarine signal, the buoy antenna processes the signal and transmits it to the knife-shaped antenna under the belly of the anti-submarine aircraft or drone. There are generally 30-100 radio channels, so there will be no mutual interference. Phenomenon, the anti-submarine aircraft then processes the signal to learn the location of the enemy submarine, identifies friend or foe, and determines the target's speed, heading, type, etc., then uses a magnetic detector to conduct a close-range search, and finally selects a strike method such as anti-submarine torpedoes and aviation homing deep bombs Attack the enemy.

The buoy has a working period and will generally self-sink after 15 hours. After the self-sinking is turned on, seawater is injected into the buoy and sinks to the bottom of the sea through the gravity of the seawater. This set procedure is helpful to avoid technical problems caused by the sonar being cracked by the enemy after fishing. Leak.

Therefore, throwing sonar is a technical job.

Determine the release density according to the size of the sea area to be surveyed, and divide the monitored sea area into small squares with sonobuoys to form an array net like a fishing net.

Within a period of time, as long as the buoy is still working, the signal will be captured as long as any submarine passes through the strait.

"Monitor 1 throw completed."

"Monitor 2 throw completed."

Members on the P-8A anti-submarine aircraft began to report the situation to the headquarters.

"The monitoring of the island chain has been completed, and everyone is on alert..."

A signal chain flashed on the electronic map on the screen, approaching from the north and extending south to the South China Sea.

Wen Zhaohui looked at the time and saw that it took a total of 3 hours.

Because the blue side has established bases near the island chain all year round and deployed sufficient sea and air forces to strengthen surveillance and deterrence against the red side, when the war started, from country F in the south to G island in the middle, and then to island C in the north , the three places took off anti-submarine aircraft and electronic reconnaissance aircraft at the same time, and began to deploy sonar arrays on various key waterways. The purpose was to trap the Red Side's submarine forces along the coastline, making them unable to enter the deep sea areas of the Pacific and unable to reinforce them. The fleet poses an underwater threat.

Wen Zhaohui has practiced this set of tactics countless times.

One year has passed since the Hongshan-02 exercise.

This year was the most difficult year for Wen Zhaohui.

During this year, he didn't even have a good night's sleep. He was either in the army or on the way to the army every day.

After defeating G02 in the Hongshan-314 exercise, the White Eagle Brigade learned lessons from the subsequent red-blue confrontation, played steadily, and won all the remaining exercises.

Long Gang was very satisfied with Wen Zhaohui's performance.

But Wen Zhaohui was not satisfied with his performance.

Losing to Li Zheng was a nightmare that could never be erased from his mind.

In accordance with Minister Long Gang's plan for the construction of the Blue Army, the White Eagle Brigade has conducted multiple joint exercises with the Navy and Air Force simulated units over the past year. After gradually getting used to it, they began to prepare for the exercise called "Forging Sword-01".

It is different from all previous exercises.

Under the vision of Minister Long Gang, the "Forged Sword-01" exercise broke the scale constraints of previous red-blue confrontation exercises.

In the past, the PLA's operational thinking focused on local wars.

However, over the years, with the development of the military and the strengthening of the strength of various services and arms, the navy has moved towards the blue ocean. Stealth air fighters have been put into service and have gradually matured. In addition, the launch of aircraft carriers, and the most important thing is the subtle changes in geopolitics, which determine the future of the military. Be prepared for a high-intensity comprehensive large-scale war, be able to repel all invading enemies, and be able to withstand attacks from both the east and west fronts at the same time.

As the minister in charge of this area at the headquarters, Long Gang is responsible for using the most extreme means to temper the Pla troops and train the regions' ability to prepare for and participate in war.

The "Forged Sword-01" exercise is a large-scale exercise that considers issues completely from the blue side's perspective and uses the blue side's existing military and international forces to simulate a full-scale war against China. The intensity of this exercise is unprecedented, with troops, military strength, and weapons (except conventional weapons) deployed, and all means used to defeat the PLA.

Wen Zhaohui, the commander of the White Eagle Brigade, has been studying this plan and improving it for the past year.

Minister Long Gang will personally serve as the highest military commander of the blue side for this exercise. His opponent is obviously his senior brother, the head of the G military region, Serenity.

As the deputy commander-in-chief of the "Forged Sword-01" project, Wen Zhaohui's target is Zheng Zhen's capable general and the nightmare in his heart - Li Zheng.

After a year of adjustments, Wen Zhaohui repeatedly studied all of Li Zheng's combat characteristics.

He found that he was like a little girl who had a crush on the lover of his dreams, constantly collecting all the information about Li Zheng. After Li Zheng became the chief of operations, he was conducting joint exercises with the Southern Fleet. He went to a certain department to observe the instructions given by Li Zheng at the meeting after a small exercise of the combined brigade. Articles on the development direction of joint operations are being published in theater newspapers.

He read them all carefully, word for word and line for line.

He felt that he had a new understanding of Li Zheng.

Summing up the defeat a year ago, Wen Zhaohui believed that he lost because of the word pride.

If a person is arrogant, he will underestimate the enemy. Once he underestimates the enemy, he will adopt some tactics that he thinks he can win by surprise and adopt some unconventional combat methods.

Faced with a commander who is one level below him, this tactic can often seal the throat with one sword and kill the opponent before the battle begins.

It's cool, but it's not very stable.

When real masters compete with each other, they are all returning to their original nature.

Just like a real master in martial arts novels, he has no sword in his hand, but a sword in his heart. He is clumsy but skillful, and he can lift a heavy weight with ease.

This is the real masterstroke.

Facing Li Zheng, any special means are actually just a trick, because the other party himself is engaged in special operations.

In a big battle, if you want to defeat Li Zheng, there is only one secret - stability!

If you command a brigade, you can win by surprise, but if you command a corps or a coalition, you cannot win by relying on a little cleverness.

This time, if I could meet Li Zheng again, I would definitely avenge him with a perfect victory!
"report!"

A staff officer came over and stood at attention and saluted.

"what's up?"

Wen Zhaohui returned from his reverie to reality, turned around and asked.

"Minister Long wants you to go to his office immediately."

"I see."

After the staff officer left, Wen Zhaohui frowned slightly.

"Is the exercise plan approved?"

Thinking of this, his brows relaxed and a hint of excitement appeared.

Because the "Forged Sword-01" plan involves too much, and the number of troops to be mobilized and the number of war zones involved are unprecedented, there has always been a saying that this exercise plan may have to be shelved. After all, it is too expensive, and such a large exercise shows that With so much high-tech equipment and all the family's financial resources, I am afraid that other countries on Blue Star will look at it with side eyes, which is inconsistent with the Tu family's always low-key style.

Many people think that even if the headquarters decides to do it, the scale will probably have to be reduced.

A short time ago, Minister Long mentioned to himself that the plan had been submitted to the heads of the headquarters. He was persuading the heads to hold this exercise and made it clear about the significance of the exercise, hoping to gain their support.

When he said these words at that time, Wen Zhaohui obviously felt that Minister Long Gang was not completely sure.

Since then, I haven’t seen Minister Long for two months.

Today, he was suddenly anxious to see him. Wen Zhaohui intuitively told himself that the headquarters had approved it! (End of chapter)
