Infernal Hero

Chapter 402 The Sea Was Overflowing, and He Drew His Sword and Raised His Brows

The sonar captain was an old sergeant over 50 years old. Perhaps he was a rank 6 or a rank 7. Because he couldn't see his military rank in blue overalls, he didn't know. As the most important and the only senior sergeant on the submarine that no one could replace, no one could doubt his authority in sound collection. Even Dun He, the old boss who had worked with him for many years, could not.

Normally, the sonar captain is the only experienced sonar operator on the submarine, and the other two sonar soldiers are only his assistants. In order for a sonar soldier to become a sonar captain, he had to have a keen sense of hearing and at least five years of training on a submarine. On the submarine, the sonar captain was a veteran with the same status as an officer.

Long Jianmei pursed her lips and looked at the old sonar chief. "What whale cry? I heard the sound of a mechanical operation from your headset. I see that your old ears are useless. Why are you trying so hard with me? With this spirit, it's better to buy a useful hearing aid."

Dun He walked between the two and said in a deep voice, "Old Chen, what kind of strength do you have with a child? Quickly tell me, what's the situation?"

The sonar director pulled out the previously recorded file from the computer and pointed out several prominent peaks on the screen. '"This was received two hours ago. The results of the computer analysis are the cries of whales. I have heard them dozens of times and found no abnormality. This little girl came close to me as soon as she came in and listened to them in a decent manner. After that, she insisted that my judgment was wrong."

Long Jianmei was unconvinced and said, "You were wrong. You can hear such a loud voice. You are clearly an old deaf person."

Gu Tianyou covered her mouth. This girl didn't even think about how sharp her ears and eyes were. Although her sonar skills were, how could she compare to her? It's like this. You're clearly right, but there's something wrong with the way you speak, so it's hard for others to accept it.

Dun He did not care who was right or wrong. He turned to look at the Kun Peng and asked, "Is there any record of whale activity nearby?"

The Kun Peng shook his head and said, "This isn't a sea where large whales often move. The possibility is very slim, but I believe the sonar director's judgment. I heard that voice and I can confirm that it was a whale. I didn't hear Miss Long's mechanical voice."

"Another deaf person," said Long Jianmei. "As a major soldier, do you not even have the slightest concept of superiors and subordinates?"

Kun Peng was stunned for a moment and asked with some dissatisfaction, "What do you mean? What's wrong? Are you also a soldier?"

Long Jianmei took out her ID card from her pocket and waved it in front of him. "You're welcome. The General Staff is directly under the Secret Department, and the rank of Senior Colonel is the same as that of the famous Chief of Staff of your submarine unit. I wonder if you're qualified enough to call me Commander?" She said.

As a soldier with a master's degree, Kun Peng's rank was the highest amongst his peers. Long Jianmei's appearance was unlikely to be higher than his rank. But facts speak louder than words. He glanced at Dun He and the captain nodded slightly, indicating that what Miss Long said was true. Kun Peng helplessly raised his hand and saluted a very substandard military salute.

Long Jianmei chuckled and said, "That's more like it. I'll forgive you for being careless, but I insist that voice is mechanical."

Dun He waved his hand to Elder Chen and said, "If that was really Ohio, it would definitely be below three knots. Otherwise, we would have heard its noise long ago." He paused for a moment before continuing, "The location of the source of the noise is not a problem, but why should the opponent in Ohio keep his speed below three knots? If he is chasing us, he should increase his speed instead of waiting for an opportunity."

Long Jianmei also wanted to emphasize that there was nothing wrong with the sound she heard. Gu Tianyou hurriedly stopped her and said, "Could it be that the other party wants us to leave this sea area and reach a relatively shallow place where it is easy to salvage the wreckage?" "If I were the commander of that submarine, it wouldn't be a problem for me whether to fight or not. The most important thing is why we fought. The most valuable thing on this ship is the ship itself. If we attack in this sea, even if we sink, no one will be able to salvage it."

These words were reasonable. Other than that, there seemed to be no other reason, unless Long Jianmei's judgment was wrong. But Gu Tianyou absolutely believed that Long Jianmei had not heard wrongly. "This is the moment of life and death. We can't afford to be careless. Although I recognize the sonar's experience and hearing, I believe my assistant won't mishear. The only problem here is that the hearing gap is too big." Gu Tianyou said.
Dun He said, "There is no need to discuss the question of listening. In the light of Ning Xin's principle of whether to believe it or not, let's assume that it is Ohio."

"Since we're fighting to the death, then we can't hesitate." Dun He decisively flipped through a chart marking all ocean currents. After looking carefully for a while, "There is a shallow water warm current heading west from the north. Following this warm current, we can move about 25 nautical miles northwest. If Ohio waits in the northwest, we can sneak up to the southwest. Replan your route and try to arrive at the attack formation quietly before making your move."

Kun Peng hesitated, "This process may take more than ten hours."

Dun He nodded and said, "Take action immediately. You are more familiar with this boat than I am. It is very important. Please continue to command it."

Kun Peng said yes, and immediately began to plan the new route, and gave the order to turn ahead of time.

… … … …

The red light began to flicker. Within half a minute, more than 30 officers and soldiers on the submarine had entered combat positions.

When Dun He entered the command center, the Kun Peng immediately welcomed him. "It's been confirmed three times," he said excitedly. "It's Ohio. We've just circled behind them, about twenty-five chains away. Excellent attack position."

'"Number one fish bud, fill in the firing data." Turning around, Gu Tianyou saw no hesitation on his face. He lightly coughed and said, "Attack sonar ready, wire guide mode."


The low-frequency sound waves emitted by the submarine's attack sonar are extremely powerful, capable of traveling dozens of nautical miles in the sea.

Azimuth three fifty, distance twenty-six!

As the Chief Ordnance Officer reported the location and distance of the target, Dun He immediately said, "Fish bud launcher # 1, fill the water and open the front cover."

"Number one fish bud launcher, water injection, open the front cover!" The Chief Ordnance Officer transmitted the order to the fish bud cabin through the inboard communicator. The fish bud launcher let out a "gulp" sound when it was injected with water. When the front lid of the fish bud launcher was opened, the metal collision sound of the mechanical equipment was even more obvious.

"Captain, target, speed up your dive!" The sonar captain shouted. At this moment, he was already very impressed by Long Jianmei's hearing.

The atmosphere in the command center immediately became tense, indicating that the preparations for launching the fish buds had exposed the location of the Swordfish, and the sonar on the other side's submarine had determined that the Swordfish was about to launch the fish buds. Only then did the commander on the ship react in a evasive manner.

"Number one fish bud, launch. Number two fish bud, prepare, homing mode." Dun He 's orders were firm and swift. The Kun Peng hesitated for a moment and immediately went to execute it.

With a whoosh, a heavy anti-submarine fish bud weighing close to two tons was pushed out of the bud launcher by the high-pressure water and shot towards Ohio with a long trailing line.

Everyone nervously stared at the fire control screen.

Long Jianmei leaned against her ear to explain to Eighth Granduncle: Fish bud had two guidance modes, one was line guidance, that is, through the data line, the submarine fire control computer controlled the fish bud to attack the target; The second is self-guided mode, which uses the fish bud's own sonar to obtain target information, and is controlled by the fish bud's guidance device, so that the fish bud can attack the target automatically.

The former was mainly used to deal with uncertain targets, and the probability of success was much higher. The main reason is that the detection equipment on the submarine is much more sensitive than the detection equipment on the fish bud. It can detect the activity of the target more accurately and provide more accurate attack information for the fish bud.

The latter is mainly used in encounter, when the submarine needs to avoid the enemy shooting fish buds, and at the same time counterattack, fish buds can not be dragged long wires. It is precisely because of this that in the on-line guidance mode, the submarine cannot perform large-scale and high-intensity maneuvers.

From what was shown on the screen, Ohio was like a bear that had encountered a wasp and was rapidly accelerating its dive. However, the fish bud was much faster than the submarine, and its attack depth had reached 900 meters. The maximum diving depth in Ohio was only 600 meters, and the maximum diving depth was around 700 meters. When the fish bud hit the countdown of 20 seconds, it released three sets of jamming devices in a row, then turned left and floated up at full speed.

This was an extraordinary evasion, something only the submarines of the United States dared to do. Even though they had lost their advantage, the commander of the other submarine remained confident. Also confident was Dun He. Since he had already made his move, he would not show mercy. Things could only end at this stage. He decisively gave the order: Number two torpedo launch!

Under the muffled sound of the water, the heavy fish bud inside the second fish bud launcher sped out. After sailing about 800 meters, the active sonar installed in the first fairing began to work. In just a dozen seconds, the sonar on the fish bud detected Ohio floating in a high-speed turn. Receiving the reflected sound wave signal, the fire control computer on the fish bud automatically compares it with the target characteristic information input in advance. When the two sets of data matched, the fire control computer gave instructions to the fish bud's heading and depth attendant equipment, and the fish bud shot towards the Ohio-class submarine at 55 knots.

Long Jianmei whispered, "The other party is doomed. We have sunk a United States strategy-class offensive nuclear submarine. Apart from the most advanced weapons and equipment, there are nearly 200 experienced officers and soldiers on it. The United States will not let this matter rest. If I were in power, I would definitely declare war. Wait for the war to break out."

"Fortunately, you're not in charge." Gu Tianyou shook his head and said, "The war is not yet over. As long as we can completely eliminate the traces of this matter, the missile defense system of the United States has not completely covered the whole of North America. They are not determined to cross the ocean and fight a world war with us."

Perrin nodded and said, "Even if I had guessed that you did it, Charles, that shameless man, would still find a way to cover it up. He gave the order, but the responsibility will definitely fall on me. This will be a training accident."

Long Jianmei said disdainfully, "Dirty politics is disgusting. I really don't think it's worth it for the more than a hundred officers and men on that submarine!"

Sun Jingfei clasped his hands together and said, "Why did you come here so painstakingly?"

The sonar director reported that the opponent had suddenly turned right to dodge, releasing five sets of interference bubbles at the same time.

Dun He sighed. "What a good boat. Only Ohio can make such flexible escape movements in the deep sea."

Kun Peng sneered, "What's the use? At this point, the probability of a fish bud hitting is more than 98%. It's just a dying struggle."

Two minutes later, the sound of the first explosion came. The officers and soldiers in the command center shouted excitedly, and then they shut their mouths again. Immediately after, there was a second explosion. This time, the officers and soldiers on the submarine cheered excitedly. Even an Ohio-class strategic nuclear submarine would surely be sunk if it was hit twice.

Not long after the explosion dissipated, a creepy sound of metal breaking could be heard. This is the sound of the pressure-resistant shell that was not damaged when Ohio sunk, deformed and cracked under the heavy pressure of seawater. All the officers and men aboard the Swordfish remembered the sound, and this was the first time they had heard the sound of a submarine's pressure hull cracking.

Imagine that scene. It was like squeezing a can. When the pressure-resistant shell cracked, more than a hundred soldiers on Ohio would be crushed by tens of atmospheres of seawater in an instant. Death came so quickly that the deceased didn't even have time to call for help. However, the creaking sound was the summons of death.

A nuclear submarine of tens of thousands of tons, with nearly 200 soldiers, was left permanently in the seabed sludge more than 5,000 meters away from the surface of the sea. From the beginning to the end, the officers and men on the two submarines had not met. They did not even know what the other party looked like, nor did they know the other party's name, age, or whether they had a family.

This was war, without the slightest bit of pity or sympathy.

Actually, Dun He was also very excited. He suppressed his excitement. The first time he returned, there was a heavily armed underwater battle. He had defeated one of the most advanced nuclear-powered submarines in the world. He had no reason not to be excited. Therefore, although he appeared calm on the surface, he did not stop the cheering officers and soldiers. Only when the sonar captain suddenly shouted did Dun He suddenly stand up. The officers and soldiers in the command center immediately shut their mouths.

The sound of an attack sonar banging, no, it was the sound of a fish bud's active sonar clapping!

This was a trap, there was more than one submarine!

"Immediately fire a jamming bomb. Emergency ascent. Full right rudder, forcefully evade!" Dun He decisively gave the order without the slightest hesitation.
