The total annihilation of the First Fleet can be regarded as a slap in the face to the authorities. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although in some respects, Russia lags far behind the Soviet Union, and even in terms of military strength, Russia is not necessarily much stronger than the Soviet Union, but as a big country that has inherited the mantle of the former Soviet Union, Russia still has many trump cards that can pose a serious threat to the capital.

There are only two choices before the authorities: retreat in the face of difficulties, or rise to the occasion.

When Ikawa Kojiro convened an emergency cabinet meeting to discuss the war situation, the army did not stop moving.

By the time the First Fleet was destroyed, four F-22Js and eight F-15Js had taken off to replace the depleted anti-aircraft fighters. In order to enhance the ability to monitor the battlefield, the army dispatched a second E-767, two E-2Cs, and two electronic warfare aircraft.

In the air, the superiority of the Yue army is still very obvious.

Even if there are only four F-22Js, and those F-15Js cannot take advantage of the Su-35, it will be difficult for the Russian Air Force to regain air supremacy from the Japanese army. In order to avoid unnecessary losses and retaliation by the Chinese army, the Russian Air Force even took the initiative to retreat and let the A-50, which was operating north of the island, return to the sky over Sakhalin.

The problem is that on the sea, the army has already lost.

When the Air Force urgently dispatched additional fighters, the Navy dispatched eight antisubmarine patrol planes and several search and rescue planes.

The Russian submarine that attacked the First Fleet will definitely leave the waters of the war.

Only by acting quickly can the submarine be caught.

The idea of the Navy is very simple: if it can sink the Russian attack nuclear submarine, it will be able to explain to the prime minister and not lose a lot.

Besides, that attack nuclear submarine posed a threat to the Second Fleet, which was rushing to the battlefield.

As long as the army still wants to land on the four northern islands, they have to kill the submarine.

The anti-submarine search was carried out quickly, but it was not very effective.

When the anti-submarine patrol planes arrived at the area of the battle, it was already two hours later. During this period, the attack nuclear submarines of the Russian army were able to sail seventy nautical miles. Because there are no anti-submarine ships and anti-submarine aircraft nearby, the Russian attack nuclear submarines will not care how much noise they make.

As for the conventional submarines of the Japanese army, there is no need to worry about it at all.

When a nuclear submarine is at full speed, conventional submarines simply cannot catch up.

As a matter of fact, there are at least three "Canglong" class AIP submarines of the Navy, and before the arrival of the antisubmarine patrol planes of the Navy, these three submarines have discovered the Russian army's attack nuclear submarines and engaged the other side. It's just that the results are certainly not much better.

According to the results announced by the Russian army later, in this counterattack, a total of eight Japanese warships and two submarines were sunk.

Although the Russian army did not announce the details of the engagement, it is certain that the army's conventional submarines suffered a big loss.

It can be said that in the depths of the ocean, in the face of attacking nuclear submarines, no matter how advanced the conventional submarines are, they will not be able to take advantage. The reason is simple, nuclear submarines can use their speed and unlimited submarine ability to easily drop conventional submarines and then occupy a favorable attack position.

Dealing with nuclear submarines, conventional submarines can only be beaten passively.

This can be seen in the application of conventional submarines in various countries around the world.

Even those countries that do not have nuclear submarines only use conventional submarines as anti-ship combat weapons, and rarely give conventional submarines anti-submarine tasks. For countries that possess nuclear submarines, conventional submarines are put in a secondary position and become an auxiliary force for attacking nuclear submarines.

It can be seen from some information later released by the authorities that the three conventional submarines at that time did not take advantage of the slightest advantage.

When the Russian submarine launched an attack, the Japanese submarine accompanying the activities of the First Fleet detected the sound of the Russian submarine. Although the "Canglong" class relies on the AIP system and can move underwater for three weeks, the maximum diving speed will not exceed eight knots with the AIP system alone, while the use of batteries can increase the diving speed to 20 knots, but it can only sail dozens of nautical miles. Affected by this, it is difficult for the "Canglong" class submarines to keep up with the speed of the First Fleet, so they can only choose a relatively ideal ambush site in the patrol area of the fleet and wait for the Russian submarine to come to the door in a sit-in manner.

Apparently, the guarded area of the three submarines was too narrow.

When the Russian submarine launched an attack, the military submarine did not enter the area where the torpedo was fired, so it had to maneuver to the vicinity of the Russian submarine.

Herein lies the problem.

When attacking the surface warships of the Japanese army, the Russian submarines used wake self-guided torpedoes, which could be detached after launch, and there was no need to provide guidance information for the torpedoes.

In order to prevent being overtaken by the army's anti-submarine patrol planes, the Russian submarine left the warring waters at full speed after two destroyers were torpedoed.

By this time, the submarine had still not entered the attack area.

They had only two choices, one was to watch the Russian submarine leave at a speed of 35 knots, but to approach the Russian submarine from the side at full speed.

The "Akula" class is not advanced, but it is no worse than the "Los Angeles" class of the US military.

Like other attack nuclear submarines, Russian submarines also have sonar arrays on both sides, and they have the strongest detection capabilities on the sides.

What's more, the "Akula" class is a double-hull submarine, and the side sonar array is installed between the pressure-resistant and non-pressure-resistant shells, and is subject to petite current interference, so it still has a certain detection capability when sailing at high speeds.

As a result, the submarine accelerated its pursuit and exposed its whereabouts.

With the advantage of speed, the Russian submarine can easily get rid of the military submarine, but the Russian submarine did not let go of the two low-hanging fruit.

Before the anti-submarine patrol planes arrived, the two submarines that had recklessly pursued were sunk.

Only the submarine that did not pursue it escaped.

Of course, this submarine was not without contribution, at least it was detected that the Russian submarine turned its course to 180 degrees after the attack was successful, and after half an hour reduced its speed to less than 12 knots.

In other words, after the arrival of the anti-submarine patrol plane, the Russian submarine was about 25 nautical miles to the south.

Even then, the anti-submarine search range is huge.

More importantly, the average water depth of the sea area where the Russian submarine is located is more than 3,000 meters, and it happens to be in the sea area where the black current flows, and the underwater acoustic environment is very complex. As long as the captain of a Russian submarine has sufficient knowledge of this sea area and has rich experience, he can take advantage of the temperature cline formed by the Kuroshio to avoid the anti-submarine patrol planes of the Japanese army.

Facts have proved that the captain of the Russian submarine knows this sea area very well, otherwise he would not have sailed to this sea area.

After six hours of searching, the anti-submarine patrol plane had to abandon its pointless operation.

At this time, the Second Fleet had already arrived in the area of the battle and began to salvage the officers and men who had fallen into the water with the cooperation of search and rescue planes.

Because the attack of the anti-ship missiles was very fierce, the six battleships that were sunk were all overblown, and the two battleships that were killed by torpedoes also sank quickly, so there were less than 100 officers and men of the Saimoto Navy who escaped by chance, and more than 50 of them were deck personnel on the destroyer "Yuexiang."

At this time, the Cabinet's economic meeting was also held for nearly six hours.

On the issue of whether to fight or make peace, the differences between the top leaders are very serious.

The viewpoint of the main battle faction is very clear: just continue to fight, and if we want to win, we must expand the scope of our strikes, not only bombing the garrisons on the four northern islands, but also expanding the scope of the battlefield to the Sea of Benhai and the Sea of Okhotsk, and some generals of the Chinese army even believe that it is necessary to bomb military bases in the Russian Far East to completely destroy Russia's air power and deprive the Russian Navy of the ability to go to sea to fight.

Obviously, Kojiro Ikawa would not accept such an extreme proposal.

The conflict between the two sides revolves around the four northern islands, and if the scope of the attack is expanded and the Russian mainland is actively attacked, it will be retaliated against. Even some generals of the main battle faction believe that after being attacked on the mainland, Russia will not hesitate to launch a strategic attack on the mainland.

What the consequences will be, no one dares to guess.

Even if Russia is more restrained and will not attack an international metropolis like Tokyo, the consequences will be very serious.

What's more, Russia does not have a decent conventional strike force, and all it can use is nuclear weapons.

In this way, it is a good thing not to win this war, not to mention that the country will not be destroyed.

You must know that the land area of this country is only 45 times that of Russia, but the population is comparable to that of Russia. Even if the Russian Far East can be turned into a no-man's land, Russia will not perish. It is said that Ben does not have such a great strategic depth, and as long as Russia makes a ruthless move, the mainland of Yuben will become a forbidden area for life.

Kojiro Ikawa would not support strikes against targets on Russian soil, but he could not oppose an immediate end to the conflict.

The Second Fleet has reached the areas of engagement, the Third Fleet has completed its assembly, and the ground forces used to attack the four northern islands are also ready to go.

What's more, at this time, Yuben still has a very obvious advantage.

On the air battlefield, the air force still has air supremacy, and even if the combat area is expanded to cover the entire four northern islands, the air force will have sufficient capability to meet the challenges posed by the Russian army. On the maritime battlefield, the supremacy of the sea is still in the hands of the Russian army, and the Russian army's attack nuclear submarine poses a threat to the supremacy of the Russian army at most, but it cannot win the supremacy of the sea for the Russian army. As long as the sea and air supremacy can be put to good use, there is still hope for the army to recapture the four northern islands.

The key lies in whether the threat posed by the Russian military's strategic bombers and attack nuclear submarines can be effectively resolved.

Ikawa Kojiro is not a soldier, so he can only listen to the opinions of the soldiers, and the reply given by the generals of the Yue army is very positive, as long as there is enough time and enough troops are invested, these two threats can be defused, and the ground troops of the Yue army can land on the four northern islands and start a ground war.

Leaving aside for the time being where the confidence of the generals came from, under the circumstances at the time, Ikawa Kojiro really had no choice.

It is not that he does not want to end the conflict, but that he will end it in a situation that is not good for him, and he will certainly not be able to obtain the desired benefits in the subsequent negotiations.

Even if there is a ceasefire, it will not cease fire until the army has reversed the situation!
