"How is that possible?"

Chatonov roared like a bear, if he could believe the American "Thinker" reconnaissance ship, after all, the Americans often make their reconnaissance ships look like a kaleidoscope, as long as they can install all the equipment in it, they want to stuff it into it, so installing a sonar or something is considered a normal operation.

If this is the case, Chatonov has a way to toss the "Thinker," but what if our ship is ordered to ram your ship in the first place? In addition to the advanced equipment inside, the hulls of US reconnaissance ships are basically built in accordance with the standards of civilian ships, and they are even directly modified with civilian ships, thus reducing the cost of construction.

Absolutely thin-skinned, stuffy, and sufficient, it is not at all an opponent of Soviet reconnaissance ships, built in strict accordance with military standards.

Chatonov believed that once he commanded the "Golden Wheat Wave" to launch a mad attack, the "Thinker" would have no other way but to flee for its life, and the B-79 would be able to take the opportunity to get out at that time.

As a result, he never expected that it was not the American "Thinker" that locked the B-79 with sonar, but the Chinese 5506 ship, and the subversion of the idea and the collapse of the three views were no less than the collapse of the Soviet Union a few years later.

However, before Chatonov could recover from the shock, the first mate who was maneuvering the "Golden Wheat Wave" suddenly screamed in horror: "Ship 5506, rushing towards my starboard side!"

Chatonov was suddenly startled, and he couldn't take care of the cover, so he hurriedly picked up the binoculars and looked at the sea, only to see that the 5506 ship, which was originally sailing smoothly, suddenly turned around, and then accelerated suddenly, rushing towards the starboard side of the "Golden Wheat Wave" like crazy.

If this is put in normal times, although Chatonov is worried, he can't say that he is afraid, mainly because he knows very well the basic performance of the Type 037 submarine hunter, after all, it is made in imitation of the same type of Soviet ship, and the performance is unchanged.

So even if he poses for a collision, Chatonov is confident that he can deal with it calmly, for the simple reason that the medium-speed diesel engine equipped with the Type 037 submarine hunter is not very good.

Perhaps the replacement of the French goods can be improved, but the characteristics of the diesel engine itself make this improvement will not produce a qualitative leap, because of this, Chatonov can not only command the "Golden Wheat Wave" equipped with a high-power medium-speed diesel engine to calmly avoid, but if it goes well, he can also plan the plan, completely entangle the 5506 ship that is not self-sufficient, and let the B-79 leave calmly.

However, all this was shattered by the unimaginable acceleration of the 5506 ship, which was so fast that Chatonov did not think that it was a submarine hunter of several hundred tons, but a motorboat of more than ten tons.

How long did it take to go from turning to grazing the crest of the waves?

15 seconds or 20 seconds?

In short, it definitely didn't take more than half a minute, but its speed soared to at least 35 knots!

At this speed, it will take only 10 minutes to rush over, and what can the "Golden Mai Lang" do in 10 minutes? It is estimated that it can only make a medium-speed diesel engine burst like a few times, and then before it can touch the edge of the top speed, it will be hit by the starboard side of the 5506 ship at high speed, thus completely tearing apart the "Golden Mai Lang."

There is no way, the acceleration of the Type 037 submarine hunter equipped with diesel engines is not good;

So at this moment, looking at the 5506 ship that was rushing towards him, Chatonov finally panicked, and hurriedly shouted at the first mate: "Full rudder, turn around; full rudder, turn around...... Hurry!"

The first mate was stunned for a moment, and then immediately struck the steering gear, and the "Golden Mai Lang" deflected back violently on the sea, and used the fastest speed to turn the stern towards the 5506 ship that rushed over.

With the top speed of less than 25 knots, the "Golden Wheat Wave" could not outrun the 5506 ship at all, and since this is the case, let's show the strongest part of the ship and prepare to take a hard beat.

But just when Chatonov and others pouted the butt of the "Golden Wheat Wave" and waited for the 5506 ship to break through the chrysanthemum, they didn't feel anything for a long time.

With such a fast speed and such a crazy move, I didn't even feel it, could it be that the 5506 ship was weak and powerless when it was approaching?

"Is it ......?"

Not feeling the impact, Chatonov suddenly remembered the picture he had just seen the 5506 ship suddenly turn, suddenly realized something, and shouted: "Not good!"

Hurriedly rushed out of the bridge, ran to the deck, and didn't care about the rain on his body, raised his binoculars and looked behind, sure enough, the 5506 ship did not chase after it, but turned around here, and pounced at a higher speed on the route where B-79 was ready to escape.

Judging from the wake left on the ocean surface, the 5506 ship's action is not only fast, but also the turning radius is very small, with the acceleration and high speed that the 5506 ship just showed, it is too late for the "Golden Wheat Wave" to chase after it.

Chatonov's chatonov was annoyed, his fist slammed on the hatch, and he said angrily: "I dare to swear to the Soviets that China's 5506 ship is by no means a Type 037 submarine hunter, and it is by no means a ......"

"Captain...... B-79 was sonar locked again, already ...... Can't get rid of ...... Should we ...... What to do?"

In the dense rain, the intelligence staff officer rushed out as soon as he got the latest news from B-79, but when he saw Chatonov, who was drenched in the rain and his face was full of frustration, his voice became cautious.

Hearing this, Chatonov raised his head, and was beaten with a loud bang against the falling rain, and at the same time cleared his chaotic head a lot.

"Let's do our best"

After more than a minute, Chatonov left a word, and then dejectedly opened the hatch with the telescope and walked in.

......

"Sure enough, the Soviet 'Foxtrot'-class submarine was forced to float. ”

Two hours later, following the "Thinker" not far behind the "Golden Wheat Wave", Edwards held the binoculars and looked at the B-79 "Foxtrot" class conventional submarine forced to float by the 5506 ship not far away, and nodded meaningfully: "It seems that the Chinese have invested a lot of experience in the Type 037, and I dare to assert that they replaced the old diesel power with a gas turbine, because only a gas turbine can achieve such good acceleration, the speed of that block and such a smooth power output." ”

As he spoke, he looked at Mitchell on the side: "Lieutenant Colonel Mitchell, what do you think?"

"I can do this with antique equipment. Saying that, Mitchell put down the binoculars, the corners of his bearded mouth turned up, revealing a very mocking smile: "I have to say that this is the progress of the Chinese Navy, but the room for improvement is limited after all, after all, the Soviet Union's 'Foxtrot' class is too old, and it generally exists as a Soviet training boat."

If the Chinese Navy can't even deal with such an old-fashioned submarine, then the bottom of the sea under their vast sea defense zone is equivalent to no defense, but fortunately they are not useless, at least it proves that their navy is still a navy. ”

Mitchell's words are no longer an evaluation, it is simply an undisguised contempt, Edwards wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and didn't know when to say it, just at this time the rain that had been falling for two days finally stopped, Edwards picked up the telescope again and looked at the vast ocean, and suddenly found a strange floating object on the ocean, so he asked Mitchell: "Captain, look, what is that?"

Mitchell looked at the situation and frowned quickly: "That's ...... Sonar buoys?"

As soon as these words came out, even Mitchell himself was stunned, but before he could make further confirmation, an officer hurriedly reported: "Sir, I just received information from the Shooting Fish that they have been discovered by an anti-submarine force of unknown origin and are preparing to evacuate." ”

When Mitchell heard this, his old-fashioned face immediately became very exciting, he picked up the binoculars and looked at the sonar buoy in the distance, and then looked at the 5506 ship that accompanied the Soviet B-79 "Foxtrot" class conventional submarine to leave the sea area, and then looked up at the still cloudy sky, and said in shock: "China actually has an anti-submarine patrol plane!"
