Ballistic Silence of Special Years

The picture on the table is the sea surface picture taken by the reconnaissance satellite.

What is obvious inside is the red team's No. 001 aircraft carrier group.

Under the high-resolution picture, you can clearly see the ski jump deck of this aircraft carrier, with 6 J15 carrier-based aircraft parked on the deck, and a Z-18F anti-submarine helicopter.

In addition, one 055 destroyer, two 2D destroyers, and four 052A frigates can be seen in the formation.

According to the standards of the general Red Army aircraft carrier formation, there should be one or two 093 submarines in the water.

It can be seen from the absence of supply ships in the aircraft carrier formation that this is not an ocean-going formation.

If you are going to Xianlai Island, you really don’t need a supply ship.

Even after seeing the photo, Long Gang still insisted on his opinion.

"There's something wrong here, something's not right."

In his opinion, this was a foolish move.

His senior brothers are serious but not so impetuous, including Li Zheng.

"I don't think there is such a possibility." Wen Zhaohui said: "If they want to defeat Huang Fang in a short time, they must cut through the mess quickly to avoid being entangled by Huang Fang and consume their own combat power, and use the greatest strength to defeat Huang Fang in the shortest time. Huang Fang’s destroyer detachment is also possible.”

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Long Gang.

"They have always regarded us as their opponents, and Huang Fang is just a cannon fodder. Therefore, by getting rid of the cannon fodder in the shortest possible time, we can show off our force to scare our other allies, and secondly, we can break the blockade between us and them. Barrier, we must fight them head on."

Long Gang shook his head slightly.

Then he turned to several other high-ranking officials at the oval table.

"What's your opinion?"

"I don't think there is any need to have any suspicion about the actions of the red team. Anyway, the fleet has left the port and they are not invisible. Our satellites can just keep an eye on them. If you are really worried, you can send an early warning aircraft from the direction of Okinori Island to Xianlai Be vigilant in the direction of the island."

"Yes, no matter how many ships the red side sends, it is not the point. The point is that we must start making arrangements now and sweep the floor to welcome the guests."

Several senior advisers gave their opinions.

Long Gang then thought about it and realized that the opinions of these senior counselors were very practical.

There is no need to care about what medicine his senior brother buries in the gourd.

Huang Fang now has a layout in the direction of Xianlai Island.

This is Wen Zhaohui's battle plan. The first move he makes when opening the door is to "invite you into the urn."

It doesn't matter how many come, or whether the 001 aircraft carrier will enter the ambush circle by then.

"Okay, immediately order the early warning aircraft to take off and cooperate with the satellites to target the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation. I want to see if they really intend to go all out."

After Long Gang decided to continue to implement the "invite you into the urn" combat plan, soon an E-3C early warning aircraft took off from the Huangfang Airport on Okinori Island. It soon disappeared into the night, and the nose of the aircraft turned to the southwest and flew towards Xianlai Island. go.

This E-3 "Wangtower" is produced by BOEING. The prototype is a 707/320 passenger aircraft. It is used as an early warning aircraft after modification.

The radome on its back has a diameter of 9.1 meters and a thickness of 1.8 meters. It is supported by two pillars at a height of 3.3 meters from the fuselage. A radar antenna system is installed internally. This radar system enables the E-3 to provide radar surveillance capabilities for the atmosphere, ground, and water surfaces. The detection range for low-altitude flying targets is more than 320 kilometers, and the detection range for mid-altitude and high-altitude targets is even longer.

This aircraft is expensive to build, up to 2.7 million U.S. dollars. The identification friend or foe subsystem on the radar system has downward-looking capabilities and can resist ground clutter interference.

After half an hour of flight, it had successfully entered about 90 kilometers north of Xianlai Island and began to enter the patrol warning route.

As long as the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation enters its scanning range, it will definitely not be able to escape its eyes. Cooperating with the satellites in the sky, I believe that the group that wants to use the night to quietly enter the waters of Xianlai Island will attack Huang Fang’s fourth frigate detachment and the four ships around the island. The large surface formation attacked by Huang's ships cannot be taken by surprise.

However, after the plane hovered in the air for a full hour.

The tactical director seemed to feel something was wrong.

He walked behind the reconnaissance controller, leaned down and glanced at the screen in front of him, and asked, "Has Formation 001 not entered our surveillance range yet?"

Because he saw that there was no trace of the 001 formation on the screen.

Most are small highlights.

At first glance, you can tell that these are fishing boats, not big guys like 001 at all.

The reconnaissance controller shook his head: "They were not found."

He pointed to the screen.

"Just a few fishing boats."

The tactical director scratched his head.

He didn't understand. The speed of an aircraft carrier formation is generally around 30 knots. If something happens to Xianlai Island, it stands to reason that the red team's formation will get there as quickly as possible.

But why is it that it’s been almost two hours since I set off, and they haven’t even entered the reconnaissance range?
Isn't this strange?
He quickly contacted the headquarters, reported the situation here, and then asked where the No. 001 formation was.

The duty officer in charge of reconnaissance at the headquarters informed the tactical director on the E-3C early warning aircraft that 001 was still on the road, heading towards Xianlai Island, and was still 360 kilometers away from the island.

360 kilometers distance?

so slow?
……

Just when the tactical director of the E-3C early warning aircraft seemed restless in the cabin, he was underwater 100 kilometers away from Huangwei Island, north of Xianlai Island.

Three Soryu-class attack submarines quietly formed a "/" formation underwater. The "Xianglong" in the front of the north was the formation command ship. After entering the predetermined position, they turned off the power system and used pure electric mode to lurk on the seabed. .

The Soryu-class submarine can be regarded as an enlarged and improved version of its predecessor, the Oyashio-class submarine. It adopts the Stirling AIP closed-cycle propulsion system and has a full-load displacement of 3300 tons. The main armament is six 533mm torpedo launch tubes, which can launch anti-ship/anti-submarine torpedoes and anti-ship missiles.

This is Huang Fang's first AIP-powered submarine, and it is also the conventionally powered attack submarine with the largest displacement in active service at sea and even in the world.

After making contact to determine the attack position, the "Xianglong" slowly surfaced to the periscope depth and made contact with the blue command.

"The 'Assassin' underwater formation has entered the attack position, please give instructions."

"Liberate silently, waiting for next instructions."

"understand!"

The periscope was retracted and the "Xianglong" dived.

Then begins the underwater silence.

Everything seems to be ready.

In the Blue Army command post, Long Gang leaned on his seat and quietly looked at the electronic chart on the screen.

The No. 001 aircraft carrier formation is still advancing slowly, seemingly unhurriedly.

Long Gang frowned. He didn't know what the 001 formation was doing.

At first, he thought there was something fishy, ​​so the blue troops in the east and south who had not yet been involved in the exercise were alerted, especially the military base in the direction of G Island.

He was worried that his senior brother would simply get there in one step, and he would not be afraid of triggering any special events or pressure from public opinion, and would directly attack G Island and directly set off a confrontation with his own side.

But thinking back, it wasn’t right either.

My senior brother is not such a reckless person.

All blue forces near the No. [-] island chain conducted self-examination and reconnaissance in the nearby waters.

All the reports were quite consistent - no attacking troops on the red side were found, everything was quiet as usual.

This is weird...

Brother, you won't really send an aircraft carrier formation to deal with a maritime force consisting of only four destroyers and four Haishangtang patrol ships, right?

Wen Zhaohui was still drinking coffee.

He stared closely at the course traces of Formation 001.

He found that the speed of this formation was too slow...

Moreover, they set off from Dalian Military Port, which is also a strange starting location.

It would be better to send a destroyer formation directly from the D theater military port near Xianlai Island. That would be fast and enough to deal with the fourth destroyer detachment.

Calling an aircraft carrier formation from the north?
Distant water saves nearby fire?
He couldn't help but feel an inexplicable nervousness welling up from the bottom of his heart.

"Inform the Fourth Destroyer Detachment that they are just decoys. Once the 001 formation enters the attack range, let them leave as quickly as possible."

"Yes!"

Looking at the back of the staff member leaving the command room, Wen Zhaohui breathed a sigh of relief.

However, everything that should come will eventually come.

Wen Zhaohui laid out a dragnet.

At this time, Li Zheng was in the red side's command post, staring at the screen.

His secret plan to infiltrate Chencang also entered the final critical moment in an orderly manner.

Ask for a monthly pass!
