Although the coalition forces do not know what kind of submarine this little tail behind them is, they have followed for so long in a row, and there are only two answers, one is an AIP submarine, and the other is a nuclear-powered submarine.

No matter how you choose, these two types of submarines are still too dangerous for the coalition fleet group.

It must be resolutely removed.

The coalition forces are not worried about accidental injuries, everyone knows that it is a war in Somalia now, and such a large fleet group of coalition forces is not here for exercises. Many other espionage methods in the exercise are also absolutely impossible. Because during the war, knocking out a submarine that followed the fleet, even if it was a Russian submarine that did not participate in the war, then Putin had to admit it.

Of course, if the United States sends submarines to follow behind the Russian combat fleet and is destroyed in Russia's war, then Obama can only break his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.

Therefore, as long as there is a little sanity, they will not do it. Although it is not ruled out that there is still such a possibility, the coalition fleet is definitely not allowed to kill the wrong one.

As soon as Gotney made a move, it was the most advanced anti-submarine aircraft, in order to show the prestige of the US Navy, kill the sharp spirit of Somalia, and also improve the morale of the ground battlefield.

What is the current situation of the war has been clearly presented in front of everyone's eyes. Both the Air Force and the Army have made little gains since they entered Somalia. So far, several points that have been chosen to attack are still under the control of the Somali army.

The troops dispatched by the coalition forces are all elite, but the Somali army is not inferior at all. Whether it's tactical literacy. In terms of soldiers' technical combat capabilities and equipment, the coalition forces do not have any advantages.

Battles in the air are played out every minute. Fighters from both sides engaged wherever they could, covering the battlefield and over the Gulf of Aden. No matter how hard you try. None of the Allies was able to break through Somalia, a defensive ring with a radius of only 500 kilometers.

So, now the biggest opportunity is placed in the Indian Ocean coalition fleet. For the coalition forces, the opportunity is very, very great.

It is true that Somalia has aircraft carriers, and the two aircraft carriers with a capacity of 80,000 tons are also very strong, but what is the combat effectiveness? This is not at all taken into account for the US Navy, which has been playing with aircraft carriers for hundreds of years. In their eyes, Somalia estimates that carrier-based aircraft have not even been tried to take off and land, and it will take a lot of time for aircraft carriers to form combat effectiveness. Somalia does not have such time.

So, for the coalition fleet group, this naval battle is actually more like a cat and a mouse.

201 attack nuclear submarine on board.

"Turn off the sensor, turn off the virtual goggles, and dive to the deepest as fast as you can!" When Lin Kexing thought of the use of the SV-22 anti-submarine osprey, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly shouted. It seems that the Americans have discovered themselves, but they have been pretending not to know the way, and then looking for an opportunity to kill themselves.

The Americans are really well-intentioned. Lin Kexing suddenly felt that he had been fooled, and now he felt as if he had fallen into an encirclement, and what awaited him would be a precursor to death. With Linkxing's command, the wire connected to the sensor was cut. The virtual periscope was also turned off, and at the same time, a large amount of water poured into the submarine at once. The entire submarine began to dive rapidly. Chen Zhihong walked over at this time, looked at Lin Kexing with an anxious look: "What happened?" ”

Lin Kexing hasn't had time to say yet. I felt that the submarine shook slightly, and it seemed that the other party had begun to throw depth charges. His own rapid dive still revealed the location. Let those planes hovering in their own sky find themselves without sonar. However, now Lin Kexing can't take care of it so much, if the other party finds out about him, and he still has a dive, the chance of death will be greater, and there is still a certain chance of survival.

"Once you're done diving, head ahead!" Lin Kexing continued to shout.

Lin Kexing commanded the submarine to dive quickly, causing a slight wave on the sea surface, if it was an ordinary person, they would definitely not see any suspicion, but as professional anti-submarine personnel, they immediately saw the clues. All five SV-22 Ospreys had already begun to reduce their altitude by this time and fixed themselves around the perimeter of the place. In order to be able to take out the Somali submarine, Gotney can be said to have completely made a decision, and even dispatched four anti-submarine aircraft and one AWACS aircraft. whereas

Just now they only found the location of the submarine so quickly, because Lin Kexing had someone send a telegram just now, and this telegram happened to be intercepted by the US early warning plane. Although I can't crack the password for the time being, I can still find out the other party's location through this.

Generally speaking, it is impossible for a submarine to go at full speed for a long time under water, so there is a certain danger for the submarine. But now Lin Kexing can't care so much, according to theory, as long as the submarine is discovered by anti-submarine aircraft, it basically means the arrival of death. If Lin Kexing had known that the Americans had discovered him, he would definitely not have ordered the submarine to dive immediately, after all, they could also launch anti-aircraft missiles and use anti-aircraft machine guns against each other on the surface, so the chances of survival would be much greater. However, he has now dived to this point, and he can only passively be attacked by others, but cannot fight back. Others are heavily armed hunters, and they are just starving and powerless prey.

"The situation is very critical, turn on the active sonar and go full speed!" Lin Kexing reiterated again. All the staff were busy working, and Chen Zhihong stood in the position of the sonar soldier, looking at the situation under the sea. Lin Kexing also came over at this time and said: "We must get out of here as soon as possible, the Americans are likely to launch anti-submarine torpedoes!" "The threat of anti-submarine torpedoes is much greater than that of depth charges, and to put it bluntly, even if ordinary depth charges blow up submarines, their effect on submarines is still limited. Just like just now, it is clear that the US military's depth charges have exploded around the submarine, and the whole submarine obviously has a fluctuating feeling, but it seems that it has not been harmed at all, and this is the shortcoming of depth charges. However, anti-submarine torpedoes are different, not only with active and passive sonar self-guidance, but also with wire guidance, which can track multiple targets. It is more capable of processing the real and false of the target, and it is fast. It is possible to penetrate the hull of a submarine, even a large submarine with a double hull with buffer water tanks between them.

On the surface of the sea. When a US military SV-22 "Osprey" anti-submarine plane dropped depth charges from its companions, it threw its sonar buoy into the sea and began to search for the whereabouts of its prey. Soon he found the traces of Lin Kexing and the others, and found that they had escaped from his attack range and dived to the bottom of the sea at a depth of 400 meters.

"Smart Somalis! Prepare anti-submarine torpedoes! The commander of the US anti-submarine aircraft had a surprised smile on his face after receiving the information, he did not expect that the Somali submarine would escape so quickly, and it seemed that the other side had also discovered his intentions. However, U.S. military commanders do not believe that Somali submarines will be able to escape their attacks. Under the strong advantage of their own side, these rebellions are so pale, just a waste of time.

"The anti-submarine torpedo is ready, and the depth is set at 400 meters!" The weapons controller reported. When the commander heard his report, he shook his head directly and said, "No! It's three hundred and fifty meters. They have turned on the sonar, believing that they will find the anti-submarine torpedo entering the water. The first reaction of many submarine commanders is that we set the torpedo to their corresponding depth, and they only need to float up to successfully dodge! And we just want to grasp this psychology of the other party and let him complete the collision by himself! After the U.S. commander said these words, he couldn't help but laugh. Any one person is capable of sinking a submarine in war. It's a wonderful thing. Especially at the beginning of the war, if he accomplished this feat, he would become a war hero.

"May God bless them!" The American commander said coldly with a sinister smile on his face.

Maybe Lin Kexing is a crow's mouth. As soon as he finished speaking, the sonar soldier spotted a torpedo entering the sea from a distance of about three thousand meters, and rushed towards him while diving rapidly. Generally speaking. Anti-submarine torpedoes are all moving at speeds of more than thirty knots, which is much faster than the speed of submarines. And the distance between the two sides at this time is so close that it only takes a few minutes.

"Looks like the Yankees have discovered and tracked us. And they really want our lives. How about Lao Chen, your buddy with the same name and surname shows his might on the ground battlefield, and you want to feed Wang Ba here, how does it feel? At this time, Lin Kexing still had the heart to tease Chen Zhihong beside him, and his expression was extremely relaxed.

"You're still kidding at this point! Now that they have spotted us, they must know our depth, and we can now dodge the attack of the other party by diving or ascending. Get ready to float! And change course! Chen Zhihong said anxiously.

"No floating!" Lin Kexing said immediately. Seeing Chen Zhihong's surprised look, he smiled slightly: "Since the other party has already known our depth, he must have guessed that we would float or dive, and his fixed depth will definitely be about fifty meters wrong back and forth, because this is the limit of our ability to react." And now that we have dived to 400 meters, it is impossible to continue diving, otherwise we will lose the space to move, so the other side will definitely guess that we are ascending. If I'm not mistaken, the depth of the torpedo is 350 meters, and the other side is testing our reaction. ”

After Lin Kexing finished speaking in one breath, Chen Zhihong showed a look of surprise on his face, how much courage it took to make such a decision. If the calculation is wrong, then the entire submarine can become a reef in the sea. After Lin Kexing experienced what happened just now, he quickly calmed himself down, clarified the messy thoughts in his head, and tried his best to think about how he should escape with heat.

"Ignore them, they don't have a chance, now we turn to the Sea Seven, and with the underwater noise there, we can completely escape from each other's pursuit! Pay attention to the conditions at the bottom of the sea and be ready to float at any time! "It's very simple to listen to Lin Kexing's words, but the danger in the middle is unknown to ordinary people.

The situation on the seabed of the No. 7 sea area is relatively complicated, and the reef pan near the British Indian Ocean territory belongs to the shallow water area, and the deepest place is only more than 320 meters, and the average water depth is about 170 meters, which means that the No. 110 submarine must float 250 meters and reach a depth of 150 meters in order to completely guarantee its own safety.

However, then they could not use the noise of the seabed to escape, they had to take an undersea passage, which passed directly through the No. 7 sea area, the average water depth was about 270 meters, the widest place was only more than 50 meters, and the narrowest point was only less than 15 meters away, so to speak, just clamped No. 110 through, which is similar to the car on the ground just found a parking space, and the width of this parking space and the width of the car can be said to be a perfect fit.

Although the No. 110 nuclear submarine itself is only more than 13 meters wide at its widest point, and there is a gap of one meter from this distance, it is more difficult to miss the difference of one meter on the bottom of the sea than the difference of one centimeter on the ground. Not only that, but they also have to worry about falling coral reefs on both sides of the channel, or getting caught in the propellers by emerging seaweed. (To be continued......)
