Ballistic Silence of Special Years

The captain of the No. 1 boat of the Soryu-class submarine formation took the lead in entering the new attack position.

For more than an hour, his heart had been hanging near his throat.

Because he didn't know whether he would be discovered by the anti-submarine helicopters hovering in the sky - if he unfortunately entered the opponent's sonar detection range while sneaking, the possibility of being discovered was quite high.

Therefore, from the beginning, the captain of the No. 1 boat chose the route very carefully, trying to avoid entering the detection range of the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation, and controlled the speed, trying to arrive before the opponent's formation entered the attack position.

At this time, Huang Fang's various forces are in an extremely subtle tacit understanding——

The three submarines had not communicated with each other before, but the last two submarines followed silently and maintained the battle formation.

The blue team's Joint Staff and Intelligence Reconnaissance Department have been using long waves to send instructions to the submarine formation, informing them of the direction of the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation and the detailed coordinates and location of the opponent's ship.

Although this was an unauthorized action, no matter how angry the Blue Joint Staff was, everything would have to be done after the attack.

Perhaps the three Soryu-class submarines had no chance of returning, and the three captains had no chance of standing in the dock of the military court.

After the three submarines arrived at the predetermined position, they immediately stopped submersing, activated silent mode, shut down all facilities other than necessary, minimized noise, and entered the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" mode again.

"Sir, the red team's 001 formation has arrived in front of us on the left, direction 313, 118 kilometers away, and is expected to enter the attack range within two hours."

The communication officer on the boat received the latest intelligence sent by the intelligence and investigation department and quickly reported it to the captain.

"Order all departments on the boat to be on standby. From now on, everyone must stick to their posts and are not allowed to leave without authorization. The torpedo room operator has entered the combat state, and the missiles have been loaded and entered the ready-to-launch state, waiting for my order to launch an attack!"

"Yes!"

The communications officer replied softly and turned around to make the briefing.

The captain of boat No. 1 rubbed his sweaty hands, took a deep breath, and began the longest wait that was not long but was the longest.

after an hour.

Things suddenly changed.

First, the communications officer received information from Huang Fang's intelligence department, informing him that the 001 aircraft carrier formation seemed to have stopped moving forward.

At first, I thought it was entering a sensitive sea area and temporarily reduced the speed and increased the anti-submarine level to ensure safety - this practice is not uncommon.

When a formation enters a sensitive sea area, the ships in the formation will take turns dispatching ship-based anti-submarine helicopters and early warning aircraft to conduct high-level alert and reconnaissance of both the sea and the air. After ensuring the safety of the sea area, the ships will take turns to perform early warning tasks.

光是一艘001上头就有四艘Z-18，更别说随行的其他军舰了，足够以3-4架一组轮番24小时不间断进行周边海空域的侦察和预警。

No matter how advanced the shipborne radar detection equipment is, it cannot violate the laws of nature. The curvature of the earth determines that relying solely on shipborne radar for reconnaissance will create blind spots. Only by cooperating with early warning aircraft and anti-submarine aircraft to search together will the safety index be improved.

Twenty minutes passed.

Another message from Huang Fang's intelligence investigation department came.

This time, the information informed to the Canglong-class submarine was that the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation had completely stopped.

"Really stopped?!"

A big question mark rose in the mind of the captain of boat No. 1.

"Which song is it singing from?"

The No. 001 aircraft carrier formation did not follow common sense and stopped once before.

This time, I thought that after they restarted their advance, they would go to Xianlai Island to deal with the patrol boats of Haishang Hall.

The patrol boat later withdrew.

There seems to be no point in the red team's formation heading to Xianlai Island.

However, according to the estimated route, they were heading to Xianlai Island.

Maybe they just go there to set up defenses and control the sea area to prevent Huang Fang from entering and causing trouble again.

Unexpectedly, it has stopped now.

"hold on."

The captain of the No. 1 boat had no choice but to ask all the officers and soldiers on the boat to wait patiently.

Apart from this, there seems to be no other way.

withdraw?

I came all the way here and didn't catch anything. The flight mother didn't even see it, so I just retreated?

Of course not reconciled!

What's more, I am now very close to the red team's aircraft carrier formation. If I slip up during the retreat and are discovered by an anti-submarine helicopter or the 100C lurking within 039 kilometers of the formation, it will really be a waste of time. .

The gambler has made a huge bet and it is impossible to stop.

Can only wait.

However, the news that awaits is not good.

But it was a bolt from the blue.

Huang Fang's intelligence investigation department sent news for the third time. The news this time is that Aircraft Carrier No. 001 took off a batch of carrier-based aircraft, numbering 16, in the direction of Xianlai Island.

The Intelligence Investigation Department analyzed that these records were directed at the four retreating Haishang Hall patrol boats...

"Damn it!"

The captain of boat No. 1 suddenly felt like he had been cheated.

He felt like he was being fooled.

Although, he firmly believes that the red side cannot deliberately play tricks on him, because the red side has not discovered the existence of his submarine formation so far, otherwise it would have sent anti-submarine helicopters to deal with him.

The most likely possibility is that the 001 aircraft carrier formation has no intention of stationing at Xianlai Island at all.

The reason why they moved forward was that they planned to fly to the vicinity of Xianlai Island and then send carrier-based aircraft to attack those patrol boats. From the perspective of an aircraft carrier formation, there were too many ways to deal with several patrol boats and it was overwhelming. It is easy to serve the opponent directly with missiles, send a few loaders to throw a few anti-ship missiles, and deal with a few Haishangtang patrol ships without any air defense interception capabilities.

As for why it suddenly stopped, it may be because it was discovered that the patrol ships were already escaping from Xianlai Island. Before they entered Huang Fang's area denial range, carrier-based aircraft were dispatched to launch anti-ship attacks outside the defense circle, directly attacking them. It was sunk and brought down.

Before the captain of the No. 1 boat decided how to proceed, his superiors sent another message.

The content of the message was to order the Soryu-class submarine formation to abandon the attack mission, and take advantage of the opportunity when the aircraft carrier formation was focused on attacking the patrol ship, quickly turn around and detour to the east of Senlai Island, sail eastward, and then return to Okinori Island. base.

This is obviously to let the Soryu-class formation protect itself, because the situation has changed. At this time, the aircraft carrier formation has not yet entered the ultimate attack range circle of 50 kilometers. The concentrated fire attack capabilities of the three Soryu-class submarines may not be able to break through the one No. 001 aircraft carrier. The formation's air defense interception network allows the formation to leave after pre-judgment to avoid losses.

But this order made the captain of the No. 1 boat miserable again.

After tossing for so long.

It's now six o'clock in the morning.

It was almost dawn.

There is no intuitive feeling of time changes in the underwater submarine. The captain's mind seems to be stuck on last night.

He still couldn't bear to give up his plan.

So he asked the communications officer to get the previous message and carefully checked the location of the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation.

He found that the nearest 052D destroyer was only 70 kilometers away!

And the aircraft carrier No. 001 that I miss so much is actually 89 kilometers away!

This couldn't help but ignite his hope, and also completely aroused the captain's desire to fight.

too close!

And his formation was not discovered!

It can be seen that the silent level of the Soryu class is very excellent!

A kind of confidence in equipment brings confidence in one's own tactics, and tactical confidence brings out the courage to take risks.

Maybe……

It’s worth a try!

Even if the three Soryu-class submarines only fired a wave of submarine-launched Harpoon missiles and then turned around and ran away, that was still 18 missiles, a short distance of 89 kilometers. The Harpoon anti-ship missiles finally changed their trajectory and launched an attack. As long as they entered the end , there is still a chance of breaking through the interception network.

To fight, or not to fight?

After less than twenty seconds of hesitation, the captain issued an order: "Open the combat data link with the headquarters, immediately lock the enemy aircraft carrier No. 001, inform the remaining two submarines, and launch a salvo at the same time! Two rounds are recommended!"

This order made the communications officer take a breath of air.

The three submarines had been in silent mode before. In addition to turning on the long-wave radio to receive instructions from the command center, all other data connections were basically closed to prevent the release of radio waves from being discovered that there was something fishy hidden underwater.

Now opening the combat data chain channel means that these three Canglong-class ships can lock on the No. 001 aircraft carrier through the yellow and blue satellite systems, early warning aircraft systems, shore-based and sea-based radar systems for attack.

More importantly, he ordered two rounds of attacks recommended.

This means that each Soryu-class ship will fire 12 missiles for a total of two rounds of attacks.

This is to ensure that the attack intensity of 32 Harpoon missiles is reached to sink the aircraft carrier No. 001 to the greatest extent.

But doing so is almost equivalent to exchanging one's life for one's life.

When the first harpoon comes out of the water and takes off, it will be detected by the early warning radar of the No. 001 aircraft carrier formation, and the source of the emission can be calculated in a short time. The anti-submarine helicopters hovering in the air will immediately receive instructions and inform them. There is a blue submarine at a certain location.

They would swoop here like eagles hunting rabbits on the ground, and then use various sonar and fish to strangle the three Soryu-class ships directly to the bottom of the sea.

Just as the three Soryu-class submarines on the blue side opened their data links and started exchanging data, a Z-18 early warning aircraft in the red side captured a weak signal, and a reconnaissance controller in the crew shouted: " A suspicious signal source was found, suspected to be an underwater target, direction 98, distance 63 kilometers!"

All the shield ships in the formation and the remaining anti-submarine helicopters nearby received the message.

In the formation command room on the No. 001 aircraft carrier, the formation commander immediately gave instructions: "Attention all ships in the formation, a suspicious underwater signal source was found about 60 kilometers to our right, suspected to be a blue submarine. Be on alert and the anti-submarine crew will go to search for submarines." …”

The tense atmosphere suddenly reached its peak.

In less than a minute, a huge water column rose from the sea more than 60 kilometers away. Then, a submarine-launched Harpoon anti-ship missile emerged from the water, rushed into the sky, and then adjusted its direction. Pounced in the direction of the aircraft carrier formation.
