Chapter 339: Trap

After the end of the Korean War, in order to solve those "problems left over from history," China has always tolerated the presence of the United States in Korea and Yueben, as well as in South Vietnam and the Philippines; as long as the United States does not provoke China's core interests, the Chinese political axe and the Chinese people try their best to get along with the United States on the basis of the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence. This reflects the love of the Chinese government and the people for peace and the kindness of the Chinese nation. This time the United States has gone too far. The United States seems to have forgotten the lessons that China taught them in North Korea more than a decade ago, and it seems necessary to remind them again, and let them memorize their surnames for a long time.

As for the strategic missile nuclear submarine that the United States sent to the door to find its death this time, as long as China is willing and effortlessly, as long as it is a torpedo or a missile, it is enough to keep it at the bottom of the East China Sea forever. But in view of the fact that the American "George. The USS Washington is a nuclear submarine that may also carry a nuclear warhead to avoid a nuclear leak from an attack that could pollute the area. So Deng Feng decided not to sink it until he had to. This time, we will give the United States some "elegance" and try our best to "capture" the US strategic ballistic missile submarine and find out the strategic intentions of the United States. To humiliate the Americans and tell them that playing "confrontation" with China will definitely not work. Coupled with a fire, it completely knocked out the self-confidence of the Americans. Prompting the U.S. government to change its current despicable policy of always trying to test China's bottom line.

In accordance with the spirit of Deng Feng, commander-in-chief of Operation Warwick 63, the East China Sea Fleet of the Chinese People's Navy attacked the United States "George W. The "encirclement and suppression" operation of the USS Washington nuclear submarine was also launched.

The anti-submarine aircraft of the Chinese naval aviation were dispatched, and the Chinese anti-submarine patrol aircraft used the infrared detectors loaded on board to cool the sea according to the reactor of the nuclear-powered submarine in the sea, and the temperature of the wastewater discharged after the circulation was higher than that of the surrounding seawater, and the temperature of the wastewater could be maintained for a considerable period of time, and even reached the characteristics of not dissipating for several hours. The USS Washington was traced and determined its exact bearing, speed and direction, and informed the surface ships carrying out anti-submarine missions below.

After receiving a report from an antisubmarine patrol plane, the "DH617" and "DH618" and "Great Wall" class missile destroyers of the East China Sea Fleet immediately ordered the helicopters on board their missile destroyers to take off to track and lock on to the US "George Fried." The USS Washington nuclear submarine forced it out.

Two carrier-based anti-submarine helicopters painted with the flag of the Chinese Navy and gray were ordered to take off and fly to the United States. Over the sea where the USS Washington nuclear submarine is located, the "George Brown" nuclear submarine said to the "George Washington." The USS Washington nuclear submarine carried out an "attack" operation.

This latest anti-submarine helicopter manufactured by China's Boli Helicopter Factory, that is, the former Soviet Far East Khabarovsk Helicopter Factory, is a copy of the coaxial reversing twin-rotor helicopter developed by the Kamov Design Bureau of the Soviet Union in the later generations, and is also a twin-engine multi-purpose military helicopter -- the Ka-27 anti-submarine helicopter, which China named the "Sea Hawk" anti-submarine helicopter.

The "Sea Hawk" anti-submarine helicopter equipment can be called the absolute first-class anti-submarine equipment of this era. It is equipped with hanging sonar, sonar buoys, magnetic anomaly detectors, surface search radars and forward-looking infrared detection systems, these equipment are particularly important for fighting quiet and high-surname nuclear submarines, and when confronting nuclear submarines, they can use a variety of means to search and track them for a long time and uninterrupted to achieve the purpose of driving away and destroying targets. Not only that, the Sea Hawk anti-submarine helicopter is equipped with the most powerful anti-submarine equipment, which is equipped with anti-submarine missiles, and depth charges.

In order to improve the efficiency of antisubmarine warfare, the "Sea Hawk" antisubmarine helicopter is generally used in pairs when performing antisubmarine missions, with one tracking and detecting enemy submarines and the other dropping depth charges or missile attacks according to the direction indicated by the helicopter responsible for tracking and detecting enemy submarines.

This time, the "DH617" Seahawk anti-submarine helicopter was responsible for tracking and locating. USS Washington nuclear submarine. It's in the U.S. "George. The USS Washington nuclear submarine hovered at a low altitude over the sea area, and first used a winch transmission device and a lifting cable to hang the 300-kilogram sonar probe into the sea water from behind the helicopter to detect the constantly moving "George. The specific location of the USS Washington nuclear submarine.

The helicopter's hoisting sonar is an anti-submarine weapon, and it is a high-tech product. Even in later generations, only a few countries were able to produce it. It can quickly change positions with anti-submarine helicopters, conduct a quick search for underwater submarines, and can take on the task of dealing with underwater submarines moving at high speed for a long time.

The pendant immersive sonar not only extends the detection distance of the ship, but is also not affected by the noise of the ship. Hanging sonar mounted on an anti-submarine helicopter. It can not only detect and locate submarines and mines, but also can be used for underwater acoustic communication. Hanging sonar, which is composed of three parts: probe, electronic cabinet, lifting cable and its retraction device. The probe is equipped with a sonar base array, a temperature sensor, a depth sensor, an azimuth compass and a servo mechanism, a preamplifier, a beamformer, etc., which can be used to determine the target signal and the sea water temperature, and change with the detection depth, and the collected information is transmitted to the signal processor through the wire of the hanging cable, and after the signal processor is processed, it is transmitted to each terminal equipment. Electronic cabinets, including signal generators, signal processors, displays, etc. The hoisting cable and its retraction device, including the hoisting cable, the drum, the winch and the transmission device, are used to control the retracting and unwinding function of the hoisting cable and the probe.

Hanging sonar is mainly active working mode, and there are both passive working mode and communication working mode. The distance between the active mode to detect the submarine in the shallow sea is generally about 5 nautical miles; In the deep sea, it can reach a maximum of more than 10 nautical miles. When using hanging sonar to detect submarines, a jump-by-point search is usually used. When a detection point is completed, the probe is retracted, transferred to a new detection point, and the above process is repeated to search for hidden submarines underwater. The depth of the hoisting cable into the water can be adjusted according to the marine acoustic conditions of the sea area to select the most favorable detection depth. The biggest advantage of its comparison with ship sonar is that the probe is far away from the carrier after entering the water, and the noise interference of the carrier is small, and when detecting, the probe does not move, and there is no moving water noise interference, which is conducive to improving the detection distance.

Due to the fact that the "DH617" Seahawk anti-submarine helicopter is placed at a distance from the American "George. The position of the USS Washington nuclear submarine is too close to each other, and it no longer needs to use a jump point-by-point search and three-point positioning to accurately determine. The USS Washington nuclear submarine was moving forward at a speed of 6 knots at 310 meters and a depth of 40 meters at 12 o'clock in front of its own hanging sonar dropping point. It immediately informed the "DH618" carrier-based helicopter in charge of the attack.

Subsequently, the "DH617" Seahawk anti-submarine helicopter was launched in the "George. USS Washington "threw 3 sonar buoys around it. When the sonar falls to the surface of the sea and enters the water, the parachute automatically disengages, releasing a pouch equipped with a radio antenna and releasing an array of passive detection hydrophones and active detection drums at a pre-set depth. After 1 to 3 minutes, the seawater battery will be activated, and the detector will be powered by the seawater battery, and will begin to collect all underwater audio information, and send it up to the buoy itself, and then transmit it to the patrol anti-submarine helicopter and missile destroyer through radio. The USS Washington nuclear submarine was under constant surveillance. The USS Washington, despite its hidden darkness at the bottom of the sea, is as transparent to the tears of the Chinese Navy as it is in a clear swimming pool.

The "DH618" carrier-based helicopter responsible for the attack mission received a report from the "DH617" Seahawk anti-submarine helicopter "George. After the accurate target orientation of the Washington nuclear submarine, it flew at an ultra-low altitude to "George Washington". USS Washington "nuclear submarine is located in the sky above the position. To "George. The USS Washington nuclear submarine threw a grenade. Don't laugh. The children of poor families are used to being industrious and thrifty, and they are reluctant to use a depth charge of tens of thousands of yuan. It is used as a warning "bombing".

They bundled 10 grenades into bundles and threw them in groups in groups in the "George. Nautical miles of the location of the USS Washington nuclear submarine. This method of frying fish in the river is akin to a prankster child. To "George. The warning effect of the USS Washington nuclear submarine is the best. i.e. not to hurt "George. USS Washington" nuclear submarine, and again to "George. The USS Washington nuclear submarine had a shocking effect. It's a great way to be economical and affordable. Don't underestimate this kind of dirt method, which is very important for the underwater "George. The shock of the USS Washington nuclear submarine is not trivial. Sound waves have unique propagation conditions in the water, and its propagation attenuation is very small, and a bomb of several kilograms explodes in the silent deep-sea channel can receive a signal from 20,000 kilometers away.

In "George. Captain O'Zraben, who was in the command room of the USS Washington, was engrossed in carefully looking at the charts and carefully analyzing the situation in this sea area. Suddenly, the phone in the passive sonar room on the roof of the cabin popped up, and the warning red light on the bulkhead of the command room was flashing continuously. The first reaction in Otzraben's mind was, "There is a situation!" ”。

"Lieutenant Colonel Otzraben, I'm Lieutenant Flint, there is a suspicious underwater acoustic signal 200 meters behind my boat, suspected to be a Chinese anti-submarine helicopter, and the sound of a suspended sonar falling into the water is thrown." The Passive Sonar Room Director reports.

"Are you sure?" Captain O'Zraben asked.

"Sure, it's completely certain now," Lieutenant Flint replied in the affirmative of "yes," Lieutenant Flint replied in the affirmative, "We received a signal from their active sonar with an intermediate frequency pulse." ”

"Dive!" As soon as Captain Otzraben's order exited, several telephones immediately popped up on the roof of the control room, and the red light flashed in the control room, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense. The people on the phone were busy with what they were doing while they pricked up their ears to listen to the movement of the telephone. If a cabin away from the control room fails at this time, the overhead phone will report to the control room as soon as possible. Another group in the control room nervously flipped through the thick manual of emergency procedures, ready to provide emergency measures to the captain.

Compared with the nervousness and anxiety of these people, the two sailors who really went down to the submarine were unusually calm. They sat in front of the console, staring intently at the depth gauge, slowly adjusting the angle of the submarine's dive. "55 meters!" One of the submarine screwmen loudly reported the depth of the submarine's entry into the water, "70 meters!" ”

"Boom, boom" in "George. Before the USS Washington had reached its designated depth in the East China Sea, a series of low, suffocating explosions were heard from above the submarine. Without sonar, the whole "George. Everyone on the USS Washington nuclear submarine can hear this heart-wrenching voice. Whoever wants to say that he is not afraid at this time must be bragging.

Lieutenant Colonel O'Zraben stabilized his emotions and ordered loudly: "Report the situation in each cabin"

"The navigation system is working fine"; "The radio navigation system is working fine;" "The active sonar system is working fine"; "Propulsion system; The S5W PWR is working normally; Each cabin reported in an orderly manner: "The transmission system 2 turbine gear reducers are working normally; "AN/BQS-4 Active Sonar Base Array Working Properly" "AN/BQR-2B Passive Sonar Base Array"

"Fortunately, the bombs dropped by China were not damaged," said George. Facilities of the USS Washington nuclear submarine. Everything is normal" Captain Ozraben's hanging heart fell, and these bombs dropped by Chinese anti-submarine aircraft above, although dense, were not very powerful. The vast majority of bombs exploded between 4 and 8 meters above the water. It is clear that China does not want to harm its own submarine with this small bomb, but only serves as a warning to bring itself to the surface. Why don't you take advantage of the bomb explosion to cover up the sound of your submarine? So he shouted loudly, "The right rudder is full, and enter the Okinawa Trench at full speed." ”

"Ping Pong Ping Pong" in "George. Shortly after the USS Washington nuclear submarine turned right, the buoy sonar dropped by the Seahawk anti-submarine helicopter of the DH617 actively detected the striking sound of the medium-frequency pulse signal emitted by the sound drum. This was followed by a discussion in "George. More than 100 meters before the operation of the USS Washington nuclear submarine, the explosion of "small bombs" sounded again.
