At 4:30 p.m., more than three hours had passed since the 575 ship sank the 168 ship and sailed into the 07 sea area.

The wind and waves along the way are calm, but in Chen Ming's heart. That bad premonition has not dissipated. This kind of thing like the sixth sense, Chen Ming can't believe it too much, but he can't believe it.

This feeling of being targeted by someone and having a sharp edge on your back is really uncomfortable.

"Lao Chen, we're about to enter 04. Could it be that you feel wrong? ”

After Commissar Huang glanced at the chart, he looked at Chen Ming, who had been frowning for several hours, and asked.

"You shouldn't be wrong. If you think about it this way, why is no one chasing the 168 who was seriously injured in front? Or do you want to turn on almost all of the active radars when you know that your speed is damaged and your combat power is damaged? ”

Chen Ming knocked on the table in front of him, as if he was answering Political Commissar Huang's question, and as if he was talking to himself.

"They are supposed to be in a dying struggle, trying to dodge or even fight back as much as possible against the pursuers behind them. Because their speed was damaged, Captain Liu knew that he couldn't run. According to the information given by the director's department, this chaser eight achievements are 548. ”

"But why didn't they chase it? Is it to engage the enemy on the way to the pursuit? Or is it just a cat playing with a mouse playing 168? ”

The second may be almost excludable. Regardless of the question of the inevitable defeat of the arrogant army, purely out of the consideration of human feelings, there is almost no captain who will do such a thing of riding in the face of a colleague in such an internal exercise.

Then the question arises, if it is the first possibility. Why did you drive all the way, but it has been calm? Is it really a master's trick to stop?

"Then who knows. Forget it, you want to put. I went to the cooking class to see, and at noon half a biscuit was water, and the soldiers were already hungry. ”

Political Commissar Huang looked at Chen Ming's appearance, sighed and got up to leave. Some operational problems on the ship, maybe he still has some experience and can give Chen Ming suggestions. But when it comes to operational command, he is a complete layman.

"It's okay if you don't say it, but when you say that, I feel hungry."

Chen Ming looked at the back of Political Commissar Huang and said with a smile. In fact, there is another possibility, and Chen Ming did not expect it, that is, the assessment exercise has entered the middle stage, and there will be a more relaxed window.

Maybe you're just in time for this window?

Chen Ming didn't dare to bet on this possibility, but he still said that. People are iron and rice are steel, and if you don't eat a meal, you will be hungry and panic. When it's time for dinner, it will definitely not work if the soldiers are not allowed to eat, and Chen Ming's original plan was to leave the ominous place of 07 and then let the cooking squad fire.

"Report to the captain, our ship has entered the 04 sea area!"

"Okay, order the cooking ......"

Hearing the shouts of the signal soldiers, Chen Ming's heart was relieved, and he was just about to order the cooking squad to open fire and cook. But my heart jumped suddenly, will the crisis be here?!

Could the unknown, or even existing, pursuer just waiting for the moment when he sailed away from the 07 sea area and relaxed his spirit before attacking?

"Command! Phased array radar, X-wave radar turned on, pay attention to air search. Also, sonar room, watch for the signal under the sea! ”

Chen Ming's abrupt change of order caused the communication soldier to froze for a moment, and then quickly recovered and began to convey orders. At this moment, another phone next to him that was responsible for receiving communication suddenly exploded.

"Report to the captain, report to the sonar room, a torpedo was found behind the port side of our ship!"

And so it was!

"The right full rudder, emergency evasion! Pull combat alerts, close defense artillery systems, anti-missile deployment! ”

Chen Ming's pupils widened suddenly, and he almost gave an order like a roar. It's just one step away, and it's a little late to react even now.

The biggest threat to the 575 ship at this moment is not the torpedo on the bottom of the sea, but the incoming anti-ship missiles. If Chen Ming's expectations are correct, this pursuer is likely to be the 548 ship, and as the same frigate as himself, Chen Ming also knows about it. The only torpedoes equipped on the ship are anti-submarine torpedoes with a caliber of 344, and the torpedoes cannot be guided and tracked, so as long as the torpedo signal is detected in time, it is not a big problem to avoid it in time.

What's more, the 575 ship is now in a state of full speed, and it is not difficult to avoid torpedoes. And the threat of anti-ship missiles is completely different.

Phased array radars and X-wave radars take a long time to start, and without radar guidance, the anti-ship missiles on the ship are almost all furnishings. It is simply impossible to accomplish complex target tracking by relying solely on the tracker of the missile itself.

I have to say that this "hunter" is really ruthless. Either you don't start, or you will kill your hand. What's the waste of firepower? What threat size? To seize the opportunity is to greet him with a fist.

"Is the close-in artillery system ready?!"

Nervousness will undoubtedly stimulate the rapid secretion of adrenaline, and in this state, Chen Ming's brain seems to be more active. After a few seconds of effort, ending the nonsense in his mind, Chen Ming ran behind the two soldiers who were operating the close-in defense artillery system and asked.

The current situation does not allow Chen Ming to be in a hurry. Just like beating the 168 ship in front of him, the subsonic anti-ship missile is useless for the turtle speed of the warship, and it is impossible to avoid it by maneuvering. The only hope is to hope that the ship's weapons will blow it up in the air.

The target capture range of the close-in artillery system is only 8 km, although this quality seems quite long. It's more than four nautical miles, but for the flight speed of anti-ship missiles, it's a matter of a second or two. Therefore, the time left for the close defense artillery system to exert its strength is extremely short, and it is not an exaggeration to say that every second counts.

"Ready!"

Chen Ming understands the problem, and as the operating non-commissioned officer of the close-in defense artillery system, he naturally will not fail to understand. Different from the large search radar on the ship, the fire control system that assists the close defense gun to capture the target is composed of three parts: an optoelectronic fire controller, an infrared detector and a laser rangefinder.

And the few seconds wasted in between, or the delay in human operation. While glad that the training before the assessment kept strengthening the speed training, he took the time to open his mouth and reply to Chen Ming.

"Open the communication and receive the ruling results of the director's department."

Didn't care about the warrior's casual reply. After all, the situation is urgent, and at this time, it is necessary to ask and answer according to the standard password, and the daylily is cold, looking at the busy backs of the soldiers. Chen Ming said lightly, and then returned to his seat and sat down.

That's it, and everything that needs to be done has been done. Chen Ming's nervous feeling faded a lot, and while turning his head and instructing Deputy Chief Zou beside him to prepare the damage management team, he quietly waited for the two large radars to be put into work and the result of the director's ruling.
