Chapter 405: Bright Sword!
Before reporting on the situation of Indian submarines, Kunpeng first gave a report on the latest situation of the Indo-Pakistani war. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info He looked at Long Jianmei, his eyes full of admiration and grief. The burning battle intent made even Gu Tianyou, the great grandmaster, feel his blood surging.
On 5 May, at 22:30 p.m. capital time, India brazenly bombed the Republican factory in Geti Bunder under the pretext of striking military targets, resulting in the tragedy of killing 53 people, wounding 212 others, and leaving 68 people missing.
At 8:30 a.m. the next day, Zou Haibo, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China, issued a strongly worded diplomatic statement, saying that the Republic would take all necessary measures to safeguard the interests of the Republic in the Indian Ocean region and protect the lives and property of overseas Chinese in Pakistan.
At 10:30 a.m., two hours after the Foreign Ministry issued its statement, Defense Minister Ham Longping and Vice Admiral Guo Liwei, Deputy Commander of the Navy, announced to the world through reporters from major news media around the world that the Republic Navy would send a task force consisting of six destroyers, six frigates, and two large integrated supply ships to the Indian Ocean to evacuate the Republic's personnel in Pakistan and protect the lives and property of the Republic's nationals in Pakistan.
After a lapse of 40 years, since the border self-defense counterattack in the late 70s of the last century, the Republic once again sent military forces abroad in a politically targeted manner to carry out military tasks. The Republic has become the center of attention, and the Republic Navy is the focus of attention. Forty years ago, the Republic, with the most powerful army in the world, "slapped the ass of a child." Today, 40 years later, the Republic can only punish the "murderers" with the sixth navy in the world and the third in Asia.
The overwhelming majority of the people believe that the Indian Navy, which has two aircraft carriers, more than 10 destroyers, more than 20 frigates, and more than 10 submarines, will win a complete victory, while the Republic Navy, which has only sent 12 warships, will be completely defeated. Only a republic that has not yet formed combat effectiveness and has been converted into an aircraft carrier Liaonan is far from being a real blue-water navy in the eyes of the world.
"The world knows a fart!" Long Jianmei stood up and said, "If the victory or defeat of a war depends on the strength on paper, then what are we fighting with the United States? In terms of paper strength, the world's navies are not as strong as them. β
She slammed her fist into the captain's desk, a table made of the same material as the submarine's hull. said angrily: "Kill my compatriots, insult the prestige of our country, do not avenge this revenge, and become a soldier in vain!"
"Since ancient times, the military has been admonished to fight to the death, when the soldier's concentration on how to win is the last word, I don't pay attention to so many rules and regulations, the way of using soldiers is to anticipate the enemy first, surprise its unpreparedness, but also need to combine the right time, place and people, the factors that affect the result are endless, and the four words of paper strength can represent a fart. β
Kunpeng reported: "I just received the latest satellite monitoring report, and six hours ago, the Indian fleet, which had been operating in Kutch Bay, turned north!" He emphatically stressed: "It is two aircraft carrier battle groups, not one aircraft carrier battle group." β
Long Jianmei muttered: "So the Kilo-class submarines we encountered are escort formations carrying out forward exploration missions?" After thinking about it, he ordered: "Record the noise characteristics, ignore them, find a suitable ambush place to hide, don't the Indians want to have a sea battle with us? Then fulfill them!"
Kunpeng's face turned pale and he said in surprise: "Commander Long, you want to attack the two aircraft carriers of the Indian Navy?"
Long Jianmei glanced at him and said, "Why are you opening your mouth so wide, you want to bite me, remember that you are a soldier, your duty is to resolutely implement the commander's decisions to the end, and I will bear all the consequences. β
Kunpeng went and called the Don River over after a while. Long Jianmei pondered and didn't speak.
The anti-submarine warfare capabilities of two carrier battle groups are more than twice that of one carrier battle group. In addition to doubling the group's own anti-submarine strength, India will also send shore-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft to escort the battle group, and even send submarines to carry out anti-submarine combat missions. Long Jianmei is a big expert, how could she not know the risks.
Ambushing an aircraft carrier is not the same thing as ambushing a nuclear submarine.
The battles of nuclear submarines take place below the surface of the sea, which is blocked by sea water and is often unknown. Even if there is a battle between nuclear submarines, as long as the countries concerned are unwilling to allow the situation to escalate, they will use the attitude of "calming the situation and calming the people" to make a big deal a small thing and a small matter. For example, in the previous sinking of Ohio, the United States suffered a dumb loss, but the choice of whether to start a war at the risk of a nuclear war is still in their hands.
During the Cold War, the USS Thresher Shark of the United States Navy was discovered while tracking a strategic nuclear submarine of the former Soviet Union, and was sunk by the other side. In the aftermath, the Soviet Union remained silent, and the United States used the "accident" as an excuse to cover up the thrilling conflict that almost led to a world war.
Aircraft carriers belong to surface warships, and in the era of reconnaissance satellites all over space, there are no secrets about their whereabouts. If the aircraft carrier is sunk, the situation will certainly not be calmed down, and it is impossible to explain it with an "accident". To date, not a single aircraft carrier in the world has been sunk as a result of an "accident". The aircraft carrier will not act alone, and from the day it was born, it was surrounded by a large group of bodyguards and operated in a group. It's easy to take out an aircraft carrier, but it's definitely not something that the Sailfish can do.
"We are now facing two problems, first, whether the sinking of the Indian aircraft carrier will cause India to declare war on the Republic and directly involve the Republic in the war without the knowledge of the Military Commission, and second, whether the Sailfish can retreat after sinking the Indian aircraft carrier." β
Long Jianmei said: "The first question is mine, the task force is going to be sent to someone's territorial waters, this is already an act of war in essence, you have verified my authority with the General Staff, they should make it clear to you, my decision represents the pre-war committee of the Military Commission." β
Don He looked at the young girl in front of him, who seemed to be no more than ten years older than his son, and saluted solemnly: "Please ask the chief to give a task, and the swordfish will come as soon as it is called, and it will be able to fight!" β
Long Jianmei stared at the chart for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Sink them, and then go south into Kempard Bay to hide, there is the inland sea of India, no matter how crazy the United States is, it will not anger their future hardcore allies at this time, and wait for our task force to return together." β
This is only a strategic decision, and the specific tactical implementation still needs to be operated by the Don River and Kunpeng and all officers and soldiers. Especially in the Don River, the need to consider how to sink that part, and how to evacuate safely into Kempard Bay without being noticed, is not ordinarily difficult.
Gu Tianyou asked: "How long will it take for the submarines to have enough supplies?" It will take about ten days and a half months for the mixed fleet to enter the Indian Ocean, do you need to arrange for someone to send some supplies to Kempard?"
"If you save a little, you can pay for half a month. Don Dao: "If you are sure that the gods will send supplies into Kempard Bay without knowing it, of course we welcome it." β
"The submarine officers and men fought bloody battles for the country and the nation, and we can't let everyone live a hard life, and I can't help with the war, so I will leave the problem of logistics supply to me. Gu Tianyou glanced at Long Jianmei and said, "This matter should be handed over to Xie Feibai, it shouldn't be a problem." β
Long Jianmei knew that Gu Tianyou had the idea to take Pei Lan away while he was sending, and if the Dragon Lady of Tianyou City set off now, it would come from the Burmese Sea and arrive at Kempard Bay in about three days. The little dragon girl groaned for a moment and said, "Otherwise, let Meng Yi bring a few people with him, and have a greater grasp." β
What she meant was that she was not worried that Gu Tianyou would take Pei Lan to North America single-handedly, the two had the same mind, how could Gu Tianyou not understand, shook his head and said: "Meng Yi must follow your father-in-law to sit in Tianyou City, the most important thing in this matter is to be secret, not that more people can be more sure." β
Long Jianmei said: "Then let Huang Yong and Luo Yi and twin sisters follow, otherwise I don't worry, Huang Yong is the captain, Luo Yi is a genius mechanic, twins, well, the two of them have the same heart, and their combat power is not bad, that, they can also take care of people, and with Xie Feibai's advice, it should increase a little bit of certainty." β
Gu Tianyou nodded and said, "Okay, just a few of them will send things over." β
Tactics of ambushing aircraft carriers are being discussed in the command hall.
Kunpeng Zheng said: We must first kill these two conventional submarines, the speed of the Indian aircraft carrier battle group exceeds 20 knots, the Indian Navy's conventional submarines cannot keep up with the pace of the aircraft carrier battle group, only these two Kilo-class are considered our potential threats, in addition, the Indian aircraft carrier battle group turned north after we made the decision to send a task force, the Indian submarine deployed in the Bay of Bengal cannot go north in advance, and the Indian submarine deployed in the northern Arabian Sea can only reach the ambush area after 48 hours at the earliest, as long as we kill these two conventional submarines and then attack the aircraft carrier within two days, there is no need to consider the threat of Indian submarines at allγ
"The threat of anti-submarine ships and anti-submarine helicopters cannot be ignored. "The sonar chief sees the problem straight to the point.
Don Daodao: "You are all staring at the Indian Navy, but ignoring that the biggest threat actually comes from the United States Navy, the Fifth Fleet has just suffered a big loss, they must be searching for our traces everywhere, to put it mildly, it is not a problem for us to kill the two Kilo-class Indians, and then sink their Virat and Vikramaditya, the biggest difficulty is actually how to prevent the United States Navy from discovering us, the two aircraft carrier battle groups are such a big target at sea, they will definitely secretly monitor." β
Long Jianmei said: "Then let's determine the ambush location and specific tactics first, take into account the factors of the United States Navy, and come up with a tactic that is not less than 30% sure as soon as possible." β
Don He was stunned: "What? As long as you are sure of it, you can do it?"
Long Jianmei said: "Even if you are not sure, you have to do it! Hundreds of compatriots have died in a foreign land like that, as soldiers of the republic, there is no reason not to want to avenge them, otherwise, what did the country do when it handed over this equipment worth tens of billions to you?"
Don River said in a deep voice: "If you only need to be 30% sure, then I have no problem, in fact, I have a tactic with a chance of more than 50%, just because the ambush sea area chosen is relatively shallow, I am worried that once we sink, the Sailfish will fall into the hands of the United States." β
Long Jianmei said: "Then what do you have to say, let's execute!"
