Chapter 1326: Naval Battle III
"These damn news media actually publicly reported the routes and destinations of our mixed fleet, and the Argentine Navy only needs to watch TV to know our approximate whereabouts, how can this battle be fought? I have a very bad feeling that the Royal Navy will suffer a big loss! "The commander of the mixed fleet almost went crazy with anger.
How unpopular Britain is, this time the Royal Navy can be regarded as a lesson, almost all the world's news media are singing about the Falklands War, and no country is optimistic that the Royal Navy can win this battle. It's no wonder that everyone's eyes are bright, and with such basic military common sense, experts naturally won't make mistakes in judgment.
Ten bulky Tu-22M3 strategic bombers are parked at Buenos Aires' international airport, from which the group will strike at the aircraft carrier battle group, mainly because the combat radius is up to 5,000 kilometers, and if necessary, it will have to be refueled in the air. Ground crews use specialized loading vehicles to load equally large missiles onto pylons, and an aircraft can mount up to three of them, with the left and right wings and belly positions.
The length of the KH-22 supersonic anti-ship missile has reached more than eleven meters, the weight is six tons, and the explosives of the warhead alone weigh one ton, and it is propelled by a liquid rocket engine, and the speed can reach Mach 2.5 at the fastest, and the maximum range is 600 kilometers.
"Brothers, driving a strategic bomber to fight an aircraft carrier, this kind of thing has never been encountered before, and now the boss has given us such an opportunity, we must take advantage of it, everyone has their own tasks, remember, don't fall in love with war, return immediately after launching the missile to continue loading, and leave the problem of interception to the brothers of the Air Force."
"No matter how tempting the female soldiers and officers of Argentina are, if anyone dares to cross the line before the end of the Falklands War, I don't need to say that you also know the result, the gendarmes will make you regret it for the rest of your life, okay, eat and sleep to reach the best level of physical fitness, and wait for the take-off order at any time." said the captain of the strategic bomber group.
In order to ensure the best results of the battle, the people who flew the strategic bombers to attack the mixed fleet this time were directly the masters of the mercenary regiment strategic bomber unit, most of whom belonged to the pilots of the Tu-22M3 strategic bombers in the former Soviet Union, and they were the best pilots, and the treatment was 200,000 US dollars a year plus hourly wages, and the Argentine government paid for the air force pilots, which was calculated on a per-minute basis.
"Your Excellency, I think we have found a few big fish, according to the sonar detection results, there are four nuclear submarines in front of us heading towards the area in front of us, there is no submarine activity of the fourth party in this area, judging by this, it is a British nuclear submarine." The sonar operator said in surprise.
The upgrading of the mercenary corps' nuclear submarines is quite powerful, and all the attack nuclear submarines are based on the technical equipment of the Virginia-class attack nuclear submarines, such as the sonar used by these four Serra-class attack nuclear submarines, which is the Virginia-class equipment integrated sonar system, and it is also the most advanced sonar system in the world.
These include spherical active/passive integrated sonar in the bow, three wide-aperture passive ranging sonar on each side of the boat, high-frequency active sonar in front of the command station enclosure and under the bow, as well as towed sonar and reconnaissance sonar, which are not comparable to British nuclear submarines.
"Great, the British nuclear submarine chose to take the initiative to attack, which saves us time, since it is sent to the door, we have no reason not to receive it, order all the nuclear submarines to prepare for a collision, the target is the engine room in the tail, forcing the opponent to lose the ability to sail to achieve the goal, all units are ready, evacuate immediately after the impact is completed, we have more important tasks." This was stated by the commander of the nuclear submarine forces, Thomas.
The person who commanded this operation was not an ordinary person, if you talk about seniority, you are also the veteran commander of the mercenary corps nuclear submarine force. Thomas, who was awarded the rank of colonel in the U.S. Navy, served in the Nuclear Submarine Force as a captain and formation commander of the Ohio-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine, and was later transferred to the Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarine to continue as captain and formation commander.
He commanded two Seawolf-class attack nuclear submarines to carry out a sneak attack on the Japanese fleet, sinking the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force's Shirane-class helicopter destroyer and Kongo-class missile destroyer.
Nuclear submarines are divided into strategic nuclear submarines and attack nuclear submarines, strategic nuclear submarines basically have no attack mission, and they only patrol in peacetime to achieve the established routes, because this type of nuclear submarine is a submarine-launched intercontinental ballistic missile as soon as it is launched, so what is it a nuclear weapon!
Attack nuclear submarines often carry out tasks, each aircraft carrier battle group must be equipped with two or three, does not involve nuclear weapons, the nature of the attack can be accepted by most countries, but like today's actual combat, it is rare to encounter one, the first to hit the Triumph-class ballistic missile nuclear submarine and Israel's conventional submarines.
There is no type of nuclear submarine in the world, like the Sierra class attack nuclear submarine, which has a special impact design and a special interlayer at the bow, and all the nuclear submarines in the world are hit by this behemoth of more than 8,000 tons, and the muscles and bones will be injured, and the unbearable pain is secondary.
"Alarm, alarm, a submarine moving at high speed suddenly appeared on our left side, it's too late to dodge, all posts are ready for impact!" The Trafalgar-class attack nuclear submarine in the United Kingdom issued a danger warning.
The four Serra-class nuclear submarines, which Wu Chen had high hopes for, carried out this attack perfectly, which was also the result of high technology, and if it had not obtained the nuclear submarine manufacturing technology of the United States, it would not have been possible to have such outstanding performance in any case.
The four British nuclear submarines that were caught off guard were hit very badly, and because of the high military quality of the officers and men of the Royal Navy, the parts of the collision were also different, but fortunately, none of them hit the compartment where the nuclear reactor was located, otherwise there would be a big problem.
A premeditated high-speed ramming, a non-warning of approaching danger, a specially modified bow position on the one hand, and a relatively fragile stern hull on the other, can make a big difference.
"Captain, our engine room was hit by the other party, the hull of the boat broke into the water, request emergency rescue, immediately float up!"
"Damn, quickly close the watertight door in the engine room, turn off the nuclear reactor and stop running, turn on the auxiliary diesel engine to provide power, and immediately surface!"
