Red Alert Somalia

The war in Southeast Asia continues. In the uninterrupted air strikes, a whole day has passed. When the time comes to ten o'clock in the evening again, it is basically difficult for the entire Vietnam to find a peaceful place.

The whole territory is full of the smell of gunpowder smoke. People living in this country don't even know when the sky will once again explode and the air defense alarm will sound. Maybe the shells will explode next to them.

In just one day, millions of Vietnamese became refugees, the national economy almost collapsed, and crime and robbery were everywhere on the streets. Under the war, the dark side of human nature quickly broke out.Original emotions can easily lead to extreme ethnic groups. At this moment, the consequences are the sins under the seven deadly sins.

A large number of refugees are crowded across the border, from Laos to Cambodia, millions of refugees are crowded together on the border, people who want to stay away from the war, walked through small paths, hoping to enter a world without war.

Under the collapse of the national situation, the top level of the Vietnamese People's Army can no longer calm down, and the hidden counterattacks have to be revealed. If the current situation is not changed, they will be completely passive at that time.

Moreover, they are not without the means to counterattack. The Su-34 fighter-bomber purchased from Russia is a Somali navy that can accurately strike Chen Bing’s southern waters.As long as they can cooperate with the six Kilo-class submarines owned by the Vietnamese Navy, there may be really good results.

This is officially because this kind of thinking is at the root of the military's sensitivity to war, and the Vietnamese side announced the deadline when Li Lan.Hide the air force and navy.Just in case.

Now there is no such thing as an accident, the war has broken out.This plan, which was originally just a precautionary plan, has already embarked on a path that has to be implemented.

Exit from the Strait of Malacca.The depths of the icy ocean and the bottom of the night are terrifyingly cold.

However, such a picture cannot be seen at all by the Vietnamese sailors in the Hanoi Kilo-class improved submarine.With the help of the night, after they floated up to charge and ventilate, they immediately dived again, this time they had gambled on everything.

This time.The Hanoi did not act alone, but was dispatched with all six of Vietnam’s Kilo-class submarines. Following the Hanoi were two other submarines of the same class, the Ho Chi Minh and Haiphong.

The other three Kilo-class submarines, namely Da Nang and Khanh Hoa Ba Ria Vung Tau, will follow the mission according to the plan, but their mission is very different from the previous three. They play The role is a hunter.(Earlier!)

These six submarines.They are all brand-new submarines purchased by Vietnam from Russia, and the last submarine Ba Ria-Vung Tau has just been delivered within a few months.It took a few years to build a submarine force that cost US$3.2 billion.The main purpose is to gain a greater advantage in the South China Sea.

However, the Vietnamese side did not think of the enemy they faced.Not China but Somalia, an African country thousands of kilometers away.The irony is.In front of this African country, Vietnam can only adopt the tactics of avoiding frontal forces.Roundabout sneak attack.

Just like these six submarines, the target they attacked was not Somalia's second fleet, but went to ambush in the Strait of Malacca.Regarding the difference in strength, the Vietnamese side understands the gap between the two sides. In front of them, there are 11 sound aircraft carrier battle groups and two nuclear-powered attack submarines. They now have no possibility of ambushes, and they have successfully attacked. The rate is too low.

According to the plan of the Naval Command of the People’s Army of Vietnam, the Hanoi will cooperate with the Ho Chi Minh and Hai Phong to set up a submarine ambush at the exit of the South China Sea of ​​the Malacca Strait.Fight against Somali warships or troop carriers.If it can attract the main force of the Somali Navy, it would be even more perfect.

With the help of the night and full of electricity, the three submarines sneaked quietly at a depth of 150 meters, the speed was not very slow, and they remained stable at five knots.Before they dived, they were only a short distance away from the exit of the Strait of Malacca. Then they only need to sail for four hours before reaching the exit of the strait. The three submarines will also coordinate to form a defensive circle.

According to intelligence, a fleet of twelve troop carriers in Somalia will pass through the exit of the Strait of Malacca at about 4 in the morning. As long as they are properly positioned, they can park quietly in the sea, waiting for the appearance of their prey, and then show up. Fang made the most deadly blow.

However, this kind of action is not easy for these Vietnamese sailors. Although Somali's anti-submarine capability does not have much record, its ability to fight the United States and Japan undefeated in a naval battle in the Indian Ocean is itself a symbol of strength.

The pressure is huge, and it brings meticulous attention. In the Kilo-class submarine of Hanoi, in addition to the 30 submarines who are sleeping in shifts, the remaining 30 submarines are tensely holding on to their posts. on.

Especially here for the sonar crew, the captain and the deputy captain, have been sitting quietly behind the sonar crew, and like everyone else, they dare not even let out the atmosphere.

When the submarine sailed for more than two hours and got closer and closer to the Strait of Malacca, there were more ships passing by, and the sonar environment became more complicated.

"At six o'clock, at a distance of 1,800 meters, a strong propeller sonar signal was found. It was a merchant ship."

"The bearing is twelve o'clock, the distance is 2,500 meters, the three propeller sonar signals are too strong, and it is tentatively designated as a non-warship type."

...

The sonarman did not speak, but found out all the suspicious signals he heard and recorded them with a pen.This has been extremely careful, but this kind of care is also very helpless.Although the quiet performance of Kilo-class submarines is the best among all diesel-electric submarines, these Vietnamese submarines dare not care about it.

And here in the Strait of Malacca, the Somali Navy often conducts anti-submarine patrols back and forth.Obviously, it is to search for their tracks. During the war, no clues can be let go, let alone the suspicious sonar on the seabed.

In order not to be discovered as much as possible and to ensure that they do not die in the sea, these Vietnamese submarine soldiers are all consciously careful.Maybe it was because of their own sound that they were detected by the Somali Navy anti-submarine warship just passing by.

After receiving the note written by the sonar, the two captains and vice captains were also very nervous, their palms already covered with sweat.Vietnam, which spends only about one billion U.S. dollars a year in its military expenditure, is able to spend three years of military expenditure to build this submarine, which is unprecedented.

This is the first time this submarine unit has participated in actual combat since it came into force. It is also the time when they are most needed to ease the situation. If they are cleaned up by the Somali Navy, they will never look down even if they die.

The captain of the Hanoi is a veteran of the Vietnamese Navy. He is said to be a veteran. In fact, he is only forty years old, but for submarine soldiers, at the age of forty, he is already a veteran.After all, at this age, it has rarely appeared in submarines.

Eighteen years of submarine career, today is the captain’s first actual battle at sea, and in these eighteen years, he has not even experienced the order to launch torpedoes. The Vietnamese Navy’s military expenditure is insufficient, and there is no excess. The money is used for live ammunition exercises.If it were not this time, it would be an actual combat mission. I am afraid that real torpedoes would not be installed on the submarine.

"Report location." After making a gesture to the navigating surveyor on the side, the captain quickly received the small note handed over by the nautical surveying and mapping officer, and saw it read: "There are eight nautical miles away from the main channel of the Malacca Strait. "

At this moment, the sonar's face changed, his expression became more focused, his face gradually replaced by seriousness.After seeing this scene, everyone on the submarine podium held their breath.

At this time the sonarman quickly wrote: A sonar signal similar to the propeller of a warship was found.

The captain immediately asked with gestures: the direction, the direction of travel, and the surrounding situation.

"At nine o'clock, two kilometers away from us, from west to east, no towed sonar or sonar buoy signal was found. It is not clear whether there is an anti-submarine aircraft."

This was the answer written by the sonar immediately. After seeing the words above, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.The propeller sonar signals of warships are different from ordinary ships. Any experienced sonar crew can hear them. This is mainly because the propeller blades of warships are cut by high-precision machine tools. Under sonar detection, the noise is very loud. less.Unlike the propeller blades of ordinary ships, they make the popping sound of various bubbles when they rotate.

Everyone didn't doubt whether the sonarman had heard them wrong, and wanted to confirm whether the warship found them, or whether it was from Somalia.

It now seems that they were just a false alarm. This should be a warship from another country, and it just happened to pass by now.

"Be careful." After the captain made a gesture, he continued to sit quietly.

At this time, the sonar's face changed again, but this time he was not serious, but confused, and immediately wrote on the paper: There are several dolphins around us, which is a bit strange.

"What's weird?"

Seeing the captain's gesture, the sonar crew continued to write: I have listened to the sonars of these dolphins many times, and they seem to be following us.

Seeing the content on the paper, the captain shook his head very simply, without expressing anything. In his opinion, it was just that the sonar was too sensitive.In the southern waters, it is really normal to hear the calls of dolphins. Even if you hear the calls of whales, it often happens.So there is no need to make a fuss.
