Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 1240 Formation No. 001 stopped advancing

D A certain area of ​​the sea.

On the bridge of aircraft carrier No. 001.

"Reporting to the captain, our fleet is approaching the Yellow Fang warning range, and there are still 40 kilometers to go. Do you want to continue to move forward?"

"Order the fleet to stop advancing and stay put."

The captain stared at the sea outside the bridge. Night still had not fallen, and the surrounding sea was dark.

"Yes!"

……

When the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation stopped moving forward.

The waters north of Xianlai Island.

The three Soryu-class submarines are still waiting quietly in the sea.

The officers and soldiers on the boat have already taken their places and have all entered combat positions.

As long as the target is found, it can be attacked.

All detection equipment on the boat has been turned on.

Sonar, electronic radar.

There was already a layer of sweat on the sonar soldier's forehead.

In order to avoid excessive power consumption and excessive noise, these submarines have shut down all equipment except combat systems and life support systems.

Everyone knows that this is a gamble.

After all, although the Canglong class is silent enough, if the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation enters their search range, it is likely that they will be discovered by the other party at the same time as they discover the other party.

Because when an aircraft carrier formation sails, there will be submarines accompanying it underwater at the same time, ranging from at least one to sometimes even three.

Just like snipers are most afraid of snipers.

Submarines are also wary of their own peers.

The depths of the sea are like endless darkness.

Here, sonar and underwater radar are the eyes of both parties.

As long as there is a little movement, the other party may find it.

In particular, the targets of these three submarines are not the submarines accompanying the opponent's No. 001 aircraft carrier formation at all. Their target is the No. 001 aircraft carrier, which is the most valuable.

This is Wen Zhaohui's layout.

If a firefight occurs on Xianlai Island, the red fleet will definitely come to support.

Huang Fang currently does not have an aircraft carrier formation. If he uses a destroyer fleet to fight, he will suffer heavy losses, and his entire army will be annihilated if he is not careful.

The yellow side's mission in this combat plan is not to defeat the red side. This was already determined when formulating the combat plan before the exercise.

Wen Zhaohui's purpose of using the yellow side's power was to consume the red side's maritime power to the greatest extent. After the red side suffered heavy losses, he would then use the mutual defense regulations to make a grand appearance. The blue side was best at picking up the slack.

The only thing Yellow can compete with Red is its underwater combat power.

For many years, it was unable to develop offensive forces due to the restrictions of the defeat treaty, but Huang Fang tried every means to break through the constraints of this treaty.

The development of underwater power is one of the modes, as is the so-called helicopter destroyer, later called a helicopter carrier.

It is nominally responsible for the task of clearing mines, but in fact, the deck can be temporarily lengthened and reinforced during wartime to withstand the vertical takeoff and landing of the F35 stealth fighter.

As for underwater power, Huang Fang has gradually established a very powerful underwater submarine force over the years.

The submarine technology they use is first-rate even among conventional submarines around the world.

Of course, no matter how powerful you are, you are not invincible.

In addition to the worry of being discovered by the submarines accompanying the aircraft carrier formation, there is also a more deadly worry, and that is anti-submarine aircraft. Anti-submarine aircraft are born to restrain underwater submarines. If submarines are like mice hiding in the dark, then anti-submarine aircraft are like cats catching mice.

There are many anti-submarine aircraft in the aircraft carrier formation. Generally speaking, after entering a sensitive area, the anti-submarine aircraft and early warning aircraft in the formation will take turns to take off to provide the necessary safety guarantee for the aircraft carrier formation.

The operation mode of anti-submarine aircraft is to use the equipment carried on the aircraft to cooperate with other surface ships or land units to conduct continuous surveillance and search within a certain range of areas.

Since anti-submarine aircraft can cover a considerable area of ​​sea area in a short period of time, the search at this stage will use magnetic anomaly detectors to find small areas where submarines may be hidden. The next step is to launch sonar buoys based on passive sonar onto the water surface. The number and type of launches will vary based on the intelligence collected and the areas where suspicious targets may exist.

These sonobuoys will place the listener at a preset depth, receive the sound signal under the water surface, and transmit it back to the anti-submarine aircraft through the antenna on the sea surface.

Each sonobuoy that is released will be numbered before it is released, and its coordinates will be recorded after release. This data will be input into the control system on board. When one of the buoys returns a signal, the anti-submarine personnel will You can know which buoy sent the data through the display screen.

If the buoy is a passive positioning system, the approximate direction of the sound signal can also be displayed. Based on the intelligence collected by sonobuoys, anti-submarine aircraft can release more buoys, reduce the detection area, and further confirm the location, moving speed and course of suspicious targets.

Since the number of sonobuoys carried by an anti-submarine aircraft is limited, and the power duration of the sonobuoys is not long, good planning is required when launching them to gradually reduce the scope of surveillance.

At present, the red side's aircraft carrier cannot take off fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft, but can only take off helicopter anti-submarine aircraft such as the Z-18F.

Anti-submarine helicopters can stay in the air by hovering. Using this feature, anti-submarine helicopters can also use immersion sonar to assist in search and tracking.

Helicopters will place immersion sonar underwater at a height close to the sea surface to monitor suspicious signals. Because the sensitivity of immersion sonar is higher than that of sonobuoys, the detection effect is also better, but it cannot search for signals and locate positions in multiple locations at the same time. This is a characteristic of anti-submarine helicopters.

It was precisely because the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation was equipped with anti-submarine helicopters that Wen Zhaohui formulated such a bold plan - to encircle the point for reinforcements and invite you into the urn.

When the 001 aircraft carrier formation left the northern military port, the blue team's war room staff team quickly drew the most likely route for the formation. Based on the route, Wen Zhaohui ordered the three submarines that had already set off to ambush at a certain location. On the way.

The captains of the three submarines received death orders. Even if they sacrifice themselves, they must at least sink the 001 aircraft carrier.

However, the red side's aircraft carrier formation suddenly stopped and stopped moving forward, which made Wen Zhaohui in the blue side's Joint Staff War Room puzzled for a moment.

"Why did you stop?"

He stood in front of the screen and looked at the stagnant No. 001 aircraft carrier formation.

The distance to the ambush circle is less than 80 kilometers.

As long as they advance a little further, the three submarines hiding in the deep water will be able to wait for the fat to be delivered to their mouths.

At that time, even if all three submarines are used up, not to mention whether they can sink the 001 aircraft carrier, it will not be difficult to at least destroy one or two destroyers of the opponent.

But why don't they move?

Could it be that he discovered his intention?
Could it be that three submarines hiding in the water were discovered?

Is the red team's anti-submarine capability that powerful?
Long Gang saw Wen Zhaohui deep in thought and said to him: "I said, my senior brother is not that easy to deal with. I feel like something is going to happen. Immediately order the fourth destroyer detachment near Xianlai Island to go to Gufeng Island The direction is to retreat 60 kilometers."

Wen Zhaohui was shocked: "This will put the four Haishang Hall patrol boats near Xianlai Island in danger..."

"If you don't withdraw, something may happen. Withdraw immediately! Retreating dozens of kilometers may make the patrol boats near Xianlai Island more dangerous, but at least the fourth detachment is safe, otherwise both sides may not be safe. I feel that the red team The ships are already near Xianlai Island. You should immediately ask the intelligence reconnaissance unit to conduct a careful satellite reconnaissance of the waters near Xianlai Island. Even if you take pictures inch by inch, you must find the red fleet. They must be already at Xianlai Island. The island is near!”

Long Gang was very determined.

"Yes!"

Wen Zhaohui could only obey.

"report!"

A liaison staff member sitting next to the two shouted.

"The Fourth Destroyer Detachment sent a message. They discovered that a red helicopter was approaching Xianlai Island!"

"Helicopter?"

Long Gang frowned.

Wen Zhaohui was shocked and quickly asked: "Did the fourth team tell you where the helicopter came from?!"

Ask for a monthly pass!
