Ballistic Silence of Special Years

"Report that Formation 001 has begun to move! Direction 290, speed, 15 knots, 420 kilometers away from Xianlai Island..."

The communications staff officer's report surprised Wen Zhaohui.

"It's finally moving!"

He shouted: "Bring up the reconnaissance screen!"

Soon, the reconnaissance screen of the 001 aircraft carrier formation he wanted was brought up on the screen.

"Zoom in!"

The staff officer immediately enlarged the picture on his laptop and projected it on the screen.

Wen Zhaohui walked to the big screen and stared at the 001 formation.

The 001 formation was slowly moving towards Xianlai Island at this time.

"It's coming! It's finally here!"

He excitedly turned his head and said to the communications staff: "Immediately issue an order to the Canglong submarine formation. Formation 001 is moving in the direction of Xianlai Island. Let them prepare for an ambush!"

Hard work pays off!

It seems that the scene is not over yet!

The highlight that I am most concerned about is finally about to take place.

Sneak attack on the aircraft carrier!

Even if three Canglong-class ships are destroyed, it is still worth it!

Too much value!

The information was quickly sent via long-wave radio to the three Soryu-class submarines lurking in the D Sea north of Xianlai Island.

The captain of the team was even more excited than Wen Zhaohui at the moment.

The previous few hours were simply torture for me.

When the F-2B formation was destroyed, the King Kong-class destroyer suffered heavy damage, and the F15J fighter formation was ordered to withdraw, he almost despaired.

I feel like I'm going to lose this first battle.

After all, Flight Mom No. 001 has no reason to continue to Xianlai Island at this time——

First, the four Haishangtang patrol boats that were there have been ordered to withdraw to Okinori.

Second, to deal with four patrol boats that don’t even have close-in defense systems, do we need to send an aircraft carrier formation there?

Of course not!

Cannons kill mosquitoes!

If you really do this, it will be considered a loss of face for the red party.

Unexpectedly.

The No. 001 aircraft carrier formation actually went there.

It is really getting closer to Xianlai Island.

Although the Soryu-class sonar and radar at this time have not found any trace of the formation, according to the news from the Joint Staff Headquarters, they are already heading towards Xianlai Island at a speed of 16 knots, direction 63...

and many more……

The captain felt something was wrong.

Direction 63?

He hurriedly ran to the electronic chart, frowned at the previous location of the 001 aircraft carrier formation, and then calculated the opponent's approximate route.

He was an experienced captain and could see the problem at a glance.

According to the current movement direction, Aircraft Mother No. 001 is heading directly to the north of Xianlai Island.

There is a huge problem here. Because the conflict occurred in the south of Xianlai Island, this was the script arranged by Huang Fang from the beginning in compliance with Blue Fang’s instructions.

And his submarine formation also followed the script of the red team going to the south of Xianlai Island for surface support, so the location of the ambush circle was also customized according to the southern route.

The characteristics of the Soryu-class submarine have been mentioned before - silent, average attack range, good latency, but slow speed.

And submarines basically rely on ambushes to ambush surface ship formations.

It’s not that submarines can’t actively follow them, but the top speed of the Soryu class is only 12 knots, and they can’t even catch up with other people’s exhaust.

What's more, one of the characteristics of the aircraft mother formation is that it cannot move on its own and is always followed by a group of subordinates when going out.

There are destroyers and frigates on the water, and supply ships in the ocean.

Needless to say underwater, I will definitely follow the submarine.

Destroyers and frigates are equipped with towed sonar. Destroyers like the 052D also have anti-submarine helicopters. There are usually four Z-18 anti-submarine helicopters in the hangar of the aircraft carrier. This thing has a larger search range than the Z-9C. And can throw underwater sonar.

No matter how silent the Canglong class is, it will still be easily discovered in a shallow sea like D Sea.

That's why they have been hiding here quietly as the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles wait here, waiting for the aircraft mother to enter within 50 kilometers of them and start attacking.

Soryu-class submarines have two attack weapons.

The main weapon is the Type 89 submarine torpedo, 533 mm, the missile length is 7 mm, wire guide plus active and passive acoustic homing, the maximum speed is 000 kilometers per hour, the power unit is a piston steam main engine, the maximum range can reach 102 kilometers meters or more, the warhead weighs 50 kilograms and can submerge to a depth of 267 meters to attack the opponent's high-performance submarines, which is enough to threaten large and medium-sized surface ships.

The second is the submarine-launched Harpoon anti-ship missile in the launch system. It has a range of 220 kilometers, a speed of only Mach 0.85, a diameter of 344 millimeters, and a weight of 522 kilograms. It adopts the guidance method of mid-section inertia and terminal active radar guidance. It is used for Used with aircraft carrier battle groups to attack long-range targets, it mainly threatens large and medium-sized surface ships.

According to the attack distance of the Harpoon anti-ship missile, it is said that it can hit the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation less than kilometers away.

But why have the three Soryu-class submarines never dared to take action?

Anyway, they are all within the range of the Harpoon anti-ship missile. Logically speaking, wouldn't it be enough to just swish and swish the output?

Of course, if you say this, you are military blind.

It's very simple.

When aircraft carriers travel in formation, there are intervals between formations, usually within a range of 18-25 kilometers.

以001航妈编队为例，它由2艘055驱逐舰和3艘052D驱逐舰以及3艘054A护卫舰组成。

Because this combat mission does not go to the open sea and is only within the first island chain, it will not be incorporated into a supply ship.

Underwater, a Type 093 submarine and a Type 095 submarine formed an underwater formation to follow.

Once entering the combat sea area, the two submarines will first move 100 kilometers forward for underwater anti-submarine warfare.

The remaining eight ships are deployed in a ring within a range of 8-18 kilometers around the aircraft carrier, because this range is generally the range of point anti-aircraft missiles. This forms a large defense circle to protect the aircraft carrier in the center. Once an enemy attacks, The opponent's target must be high-value ships like aircraft carriers, so no matter which direction they come from, 25-2 ships will be able to intercept them at the same time, forming a cross-interception network.

Therefore, the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation is said to be less than 200 kilometers away from the Soryu-class ambush circle, but in fact, the aircraft carrier is at least 200 kilometers away from the Soryu-class.

When launching an attack at such a distance, the Type 89 torpedo cannot reach it, and the subsonic submarine-launched Harpoon anti-ship missile is only enough. If the distance is too far, the opponent will be escorted by shield ships. Not to mention sufficient firepower, the interception rate is quite high. Attacking at this distance is tantamount to scratching an itch. At most, it will only waste part of the missile intercepted by others.

Therefore, according to Wen Zhaohui's previous idea, it would be necessary to wait until the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation entered the 50-kilometer ambush circle of the Canglong class. At this time, all the torpedoes and harpoons would be sent out at once, and they would greet the carrier mother.

Each Soryu-class submarine is equipped with 6 torpedo launch tubes and can carry 30 torpedoes or missiles. This time the three-boat formation set sail to perform the mission, each submarine was equipped with 10 torpedoes and 20 missiles. Even if it is used at the fastest speed, it can A salvo can fire 18 torpedoes or 18 Harpoon missiles. Not to mention that it can form a saturation attack, at least the probability of successfully damaging the aircraft carrier will be higher.

The captain of the leading boat is now anxious because the 001 aircraft carrier formation is heading north of Xianlai Island, deviating from Huang Fang's estimated route. If the current movement direction is followed, the 001 aircraft carrier formation will be 80 kilometers away from him. It passed by and could not reach the attack range of the Type 89 torpedo.

So, this means that only 60 Harpoon anti-ship missiles can penetrate the defense network of 8 Chinese Aegis ships.

OK?

He couldn't help but fell into deep thought, and a layer of sweat formed on his forehead.

Ask for a monthly pass!
