Ballistic Silence of Special Years

Chapter 1255 Deep Sea Ghost

Now that he had made up his mind, the captain of the No. 1 boat in the Soryu-class submarine formation no longer hesitated and immediately ordered the submarine to start heading towards the new attack position at a speed of 10 knots.

ten minutes later.

The sonar soldier on boat No. 2 reported important news to the captain——

"Boat No. 1 is moving north, speed 10 knots, direction 331."

"move?"

The captain of boat No. 2 couldn't believe his ears.

Because he did not receive an order from the captain of the No. 1 boat, let alone an order from his superiors.

So why did Boat No. 1 move?

Where is he going?

He once suspected that the communication equipment on his boat was malfunctioning, resulting in the inability to receive orders, and quickly ordered the communications officer to check.

The results came in quickly, the equipment was fine and everything was working fine.

"Should we contact them and ask them what happened?" the communications chief asked.

The captain of the No. 2 boat pondered for a moment, shook his head and rejected the proposal, because it was a silent state at this time. Once a report was sent to contact the No. 1 boat, there was a high probability that the position would be detected by the aircraft carrier formation near the red side.

You absolutely cannot do such a thing that would lead to death.

He walked quickly to the chart and stared at the densely packed thin lines on it for about half a minute, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Keep formation, keep up with the No. 1 ship, speed 10 knots."

He made a judgment.

"This is to go to a new attacking position."

"Are we going too?" the deputy captain gasped.

In his view, Ship No. 1 was violating orders.

The superiors ordered three submarines to lurk here silently, waiting for attack.

Now that the 001 aircraft carrier formation has not arrived yet, if you move first, you may be discovered by the underwater force of the aircraft carrier formation or anti-submarine aircraft.

Such a huge risk would be considered an absolute crime by a prudent commander, and would be subject to court martial.

"Follow up!" the captain of the No. 2 boat said decisively: "It is not convenient for the No. 1 ship to send orders, but he must have made a new tactical deployment. Look here -"

He tapped his finger twice on the chart.

"According to the latest news from our intelligence detection department, the aircraft carrier formation No. 001 will not pass through our ambush circle, and the closest distance is 80 kilometers away. The aircraft carrier itself is estimated to be at least a hundred kilometers away from our attack range. If we Wait here, it will not be within our attack range. If we launch an attack rashly, the chance of success will be greatly reduced, and it will ruin our entire formation, which is meaningless."

He paused and then said: "Look at the current direction and speed of the No. 1 ship. If it advances 30 kilometers..."

His hand moved slowly on the chart, stopping at the new attack position.

"Get here...then the red side's No. 001 aircraft carrier formation will enter our 50-kilometer attack range. Even if the formation is spread out far enough apart, the aircraft carrier will be within our 18-kilometer range, or even closer. At that time, we will have three ships The submarines launch an attack together and can launch Harpoon missiles in one salvo. At this distance, they can quickly enter the terminal jump stage and may actually hit or damage their aircraft carrier."

After hearing his explanation, the deputy captain knew what was going on.

But he still has a psychological barrier to disobeying orders and acting without permission.

The captain of boat No. 2 saw the concerns of the deputy captain and said with a smile: "You don't have to be responsible. I will bear the responsibility. The greater the risk, the greater the benefit."

Huang Fang's national character has always been a gambler.

There have been more than one bets on the fate of the country in history.

There are times when bets are right and there are times when bets are wrong.

When you are wrong, you will lose all the chips you won when you were right.

This is also their fate.

It is also the fate of gamblers.

Just do it.

Boat No. 2 began to follow.

Boat No. 3 soon noticed something was wrong. Of course, their captain is not a fool either.

After thinking about it carefully, I immediately understood the painstaking efforts and helplessness of Captain No. 2 as well as Captain No. 1.

So, he also chose to follow the formation.

The three Soryu-class submarines were divided into a forward triangle attack formation, spread out under the sea surface, 10 kilometers apart from each other, and headed towards the new attack position in the north.

In the Blue Army Joint Staff Headquarters, Long Gang and Wen Zhaohui were shocked at first when they learned that the Canglong-class formation had changed its tactical plan without authorization and moved north without approval.

After all, disobeying orders and acting without authorization are not common in the military.

After some research, the two men immediately understood the formation's intention.

"They're trying to get a better attacking position."

Long Gang sighed.

In fact, I had been mentally prepared for this ambush plan from the beginning.

After all, the tactical arrangement of ambush by the Soryu-class submarine formation in shallow waters is inherently risky.

In addition, the previous surface combat situation did not go as expected. If the King Kong-class destroyer formation had not been almost annihilated by the red side's 022 missile boat formation and J15 carrier-based aircraft formation's strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west, it would still be on Xianlai Island now. nearby, then the route of the 001 aircraft carrier formation will not change.

Everything is irreversible, war affects the whole body, and even a small accident can lead to unexpected results.

"It's meaningless to send a message and order them to stop moving immediately." Long Gang said: "Let them immediately re-enter the silent state, even if the 001 aircraft carrier formation does not pass through their attack range, even if they watch the opponent from If you slip away in front of you, you can't get yourself in. Save your strength, the battle is still long!"

"Yes!"

Wen Zhaohui immediately went to ask someone to report it.

But after a few minutes passed.

Wen Zhaohui is back again.

"Chief, they didn't respond. The message was sent, but..."

"I saw it." Long Gang gestured towards the big screen: "They never stopped moving. These captains are quite heroic."

Wen Zhaohui was silent.

Long Gang said: "It's not easy to become a hero. Gamblers often end up as cannon fodder!"

It seemed that Long Gang was very unhappy.

But there was nothing he could do.

You will be outside, and your orders will not be accepted.

The three captains obviously didn't want to waste all their efforts. They had been lurking for so long, and finally they were just a little bit close to getting it.

"Chief."

Wen Zhaohui comforted Long Gang: "If you can't stop it, just let them go. Since they are willing to risk their lives, let them try. Maybe a miracle will happen..."

"Miracles are rare things."

Long Gang returned to his seat and sat down, picking up the tea cup and drinking tea.

After taking two sips, he stopped and said: "It's not wrong to take risks on the battlefield. Taking risks is only in desperate situations. You only take risks when you have no other options. You can't take risks as a usual tactic. You will suffer big losses if you do so."

He sighed and said: "Just remember, based on what I know about my senior brother and Li Zheng, these two are very meticulous people. Do you think they are timid? No, they will take risks when it is reasonable. If If they were you and me now, then he would definitely make the three submarines stop attacking and not make such a gamble."

"In war, you have to truly understand your opponent..."

Long Gang reminded Wen Zhaohui earnestly.

　Ask for a monthly pass!

　　To make a correction, a reader reminded me earlier that the Soryu-class does not have an independent missile launch system and can only rely on six torpedo tubes. The information I checked does not show that there is an independent launch system, so the salvo can only fire six missiles at a time, three ships at a time. 18 pieces, hereby corrected.

　　Writing about hard military affairs requires rigor. Thank you readers for pointing out the problems. The author is not omnipotent, so please forgive me.
