Age of Rebirth

Nakasa Kanano, the captain of the submarine "751" of the Japanese Navy's Sumatra base, did not know that the submarine under his command was now approaching the sea area where a large number of independent division troop carrier formations and escort fleets were about to pass. .

Zhongzuo Kanno has rich experience in commanding submarines. At the same time, he is also a very cautious officer. When the Imperial Army was fighting with the Allies in the Australian battlefield, his submarine force was ordered to intercept and kill the Allied forces. The Allied supply fleet of logistics supplies cut off the Allied sea supply line.

That experience left Nakazuo Kanno with lingering fears. The opponent of the Imperial Navy’s submarine force was the China Independent Division fleet escorting the Allied logistics transport fleet. In the deep seabed of the Indian Ocean, the anti-submarine capability of the China Independent Division Fleet caused the Imperial Navy submarine force to suffer and suffer heavy losses.

After several months of blockade of the East Indian Ocean and the battle of the Australian Allied maritime logistics border, the submarines at the Sumatra Submarine Base of the Imperial Navy have changed several times. The current "571" boat is definitely the veteran of the Sumatra Submarine Base of the Imperial Navy , The existence of the ashes level, therefore, the commander of the submarine force of the base, although he has the rank of chief officer, is quite polite to Kanno Zhongzuo.

Following the victory of the Imperial Japanese Army in the Battle of Australia, the contest with the Chinese Navy Fleet in the East Indian Ocean also came to an end. Nakazuo Kanno did not want to look back on that experience, let alone go deep into this buried land. The sea of ​​sadness between the naval elites of many empires and their old friends and comrades-in-arms.

This time, it was an ordered routine cruise.Originally, the commander of the submarine force did not dare to work on Guan Zhongzuo, the veteran subordinate.There are more than 751 submarines in the base, and you can send any one on a routine cruise, except for the "[-]". If there is no combat mission, the commander-in-chief would not dare to send this submarine to do a routine cruise. Low-level work!

But Zhongzuo Guanye took the initiative to come to ask for a fight, and the reason turned out to be. "Your Excellency, Commander, I have been bored at the base for too long, and I want to go to the bottom of the East Indian Ocean to relax. I hope you can arrange my submarine to complete this cruise mission!"

The commander of the submarine force, of course, would not refuse such a proactive request for a battle, and agreed without hesitation.Still throughout the submarine force.He greatly praised his respected subordinates, and just like that, Nakazuo Kanno's "751" submarine embarked on a road of no return, a routine cruise to relax, and a call for battle in a bored situation, let Nakasa Kanno And dozens of Japanese naval officers and soldiers, never went back.

Not far from the Japanese Navy's "751" submarine.A submarine of the independent division fleet with the hull number "269" is coming head-on.However, because of the long distance, the sonar radars of both sides did not detect each other, and the two sides sailed in opposite directions, but they were both on the same channel. The submarine at the base of the Japanese Navy in Sumatra was very familiar with the situation on the bottom of the East Indian Ocean, independent This is not the case with the submarines of the division fleet.

When the Japanese and Allied forces were fighting in the Australian battlefield, on the dark seabed of this sea area, the submarines of the two sides fought more than once. Under the seemingly calm sea, it was also full of gunpowder and flesh and blood, just in the Chagos Islands More than ten Japanese submarines were buried in the surrounding waters.

The two submarines came head-on, but because the distance was too far, they hadn't found each other yet. The attitudes of the commanders of the two sides were absolutely different. Zhongzuo Kanno came to carry out this routine cruise mission with a sense of relaxation.

The submarine "269" of the independent division fleet came with the order of the detachment. The captain, Major Zhang Yuduo, although he was only in his thirties, was a veteran captain and had served in the submarine detachment of the fleet for many years. , starting from ordinary soldiers, step by step to the position of captain.

"Did the sonar radar find anything!" Zhang Yuduo asked the sonar officer with eyes.

"Report to the captain, everything is normal now, and the sonar has not found anything!" The sonar officer replied concisely.

"Okay, pay attention to the sonar search, this waterway, the little devil's submarine often goes!" Zhang Yuduo said, he is so familiar with this waterway, he can know everything with his eyes closed, where there are hidden reefs, where there are undercurrents, Where there is Coral Mountain, we all know it well.

At the same time, Zhang Yuduo is very confident in the sonar radar equipped on his submarine. The "Sky Eye" series radar submarine developed by the Special Equipment Research Institute of Dingbian Military Industry Bureau has a detection range and accuracy several times ahead of the sonar radar of Japanese submarines. This is his other pair of eyes.

On the dark bottom of the East Indian Ocean, the distance between the Japanese army and the two submarines of the Independent Division was gradually approaching. . . . . .

On the sea, the troop carrier formation and the escort fleet had already sailed through the waters of the Chagos Islands, and they were considered to be out of the cruising range of the combat aircraft of the No.15 Air Force of the Japanese Air Force on Sumatra Island.

After breakfast, Tang Qiuquan said to Tang Qiusheng: "Brother Qiusheng, take a rest, I'll go to the headquarters!"

Tang Qiuli nodded very easily and didn't care. He didn't know that his cousin Tang Qiuquan was thinking at the moment that the threat from the air had been lifted, but the threat from the Japanese submarine under the sea hadn't been lifted yet.

With a few staff officers, Tang Qiuquan hurried into the command cabin. Rear Admiral Xin Xiguo, the chief of staff of the fleet, was drawing something with a pencil on the large chart on the table.

Tang Qiuquan walked to the chart, frowned slightly, and said, "Xiguo, the formation is about to enter the next sea area. I am very worried about the Calais waterway. When escorting the Australian Allied transport formation, the Japanese submarine Most of them are attacking us from this waterway! Does the submarine detachment have a report!"

Xin Xiguo raised his head and replied: "Commander, I haven't received any reports of Japanese submarines yet. I have ordered the submarine detachment to conduct all-round vigilance in the sea area where the troop carrier formation passes, and the scope of the vigilance has been expanded. to a safe distance."

"In Calais, how many submarines have the submarine detachment deployed?" Tang Qiuquan continued to ask.

"Three boats are '269' boat. '270' boat and '273' boat. Among them, '269' boat is at the front!" Xin Xiguo replied.

"Oh! Is it Zhang Yuduo's '269' submarine?"

"Yes. Commander, it is the submarine commanded by Major Zhang Yuduo!"

"Zhang Yuduo's submarine is at the forefront, so I'm relieved!" Tang Qiuquan couldn't hide his admiration, and a young officer appeared in front of him, a heroic figure.

After thinking about it, Tang Qiuquan thought.Still should be more cautious, he continued to order: "Xiguo, order the fleet anti-submarine aircraft group. Immediately send anti-submarine aircraft to search and patrol the waters of the Calais waterway. In addition, order Wu Zhenjiang to start escorting the troop carrier formation!"

The dark bottom of the Eastern Indian Ocean.Major Zhang Yuduo commanded the submarine.Go around a hidden reef on the bottom of the sea, and then, in the Calais channel with very complicated terrain, pass through several undercurrents, like a flexible big shark, shuttling through the cliffs submerged in the sea.

The sailors were all busy at their posts, and the sound of the submarine's propellers stirring the seawater clearly penetrated.Suddenly, the expression on the sonar radar officer's face.With a sudden tightening, he heard a different movement in the radar echo. Experience told him that the sonar wave detected an unknown object.

"Report to the captain, the sonar has found an unknown object, because the distance is still far away, and the identity of the target cannot be determined!" the sonar radar officer reported loudly.

"Oh?" Zhang Yuduo raised his eyebrows all of a sudden, and ordered concisely: "Slow down and sail, and the sonar will determine the target's position, identity, and distance from our submarine!"

"Captain, what is the most likely source of this unknown object?" The deputy captain from the Submarine Branch of Guangzhou Military Academy asked quietly.

Zhang Yuduo sneered slightly, and said: "Although the identity of the device has not yet been identified, I can be sure that it is a Japanese submarine. The Calais Channel is the submarine of the Japanese Navy's Sumatra Submarine Base. It is the only way to enter the East Indian Ocean. It is near here. In the sea area, there are many fights with the little devil's submarine!"

After more than 20 minutes, the sonar radar officer reported again, "Captain, the sonar radar has confirmed that the unknown object is a Japanese Haida-2 submarine, which is 500 meters away from our boat and is continuing to approach. !"

"Have you found any other Japanese submarines?"

"no!"

"Okay!" Zhang Yuduo smiled coldly, and gave an order, "Turn off the active sonar, turn on the passive sonar, immediately enter the front ambush position, and then enter the static suspension state, and the three torpedoes at the bow of the boat will start to inject water!"

This is the advantage of advanced sonar radar performance. At this moment, the oncoming Japanese submarine has not found "269", but all its whereabouts are under Zhang Yuduo's control.

Following Zhang Yuduo's order, the "269" submarine entered the ambush position, and then floated motionless in the sea water. The torpedo tube on the bow of the boat was opened, and the passive sonar was turned on, like a shark lying quietly. Waiting for the arrival of prey.

Twenty minutes later, the sonar officer reported: "Captain, the sonar signal received from the Japanese submarine has entered the effective range of my torpedo!"

"Turn on the active sonar to locate the Japanese submarine, and the torpedo is ready to launch!" Zhang Yuduo gave the order concisely.

The active sonar of the "269" submarine was turned on, and the invisible sound waves, using sea water as the medium, rippled rapidly.

"Crack!" The sonar officer of the Japanese Haida Type 2 submarine "751" clearly heard the sound of sound waves hitting the submarine, and his face turned pale. He is an experienced sonar officer and knows the function of active sonar. The impact sound, what does it mean, that is the accurate defense of the opponent's positioning of his own submarine, and the prelude to the torpedo attack!

But sadly, he didn't hear any abnormal signal in the passive sonar, "The ghost from the bottom of the sea!" He hurriedly shouted: "Report to the captain, my boat has been actively detected by unknown sonar!"
