Chapter 931 - Hunting Indian Submarines
As soon as this news was transmitted back to China, the entire Indian top brass was already in chaos, and one of the two main forces of India's four aircraft carrier battle groups had been wiped out, and although the top brass had blocked the news as much as possible, it also quickly spread to India, and it was an extremely heavy blow to both the confidence of the people and the morale of the army.
And the most severely hit is the Indian prime minister and the top management, the aircraft carrier battle group that spent one or two billion dollars to build, before it has been warmed up, all of them have been sent to the bottom of the sea as a habitat for fish, how can they still face it calmly.
In the underground security facility of the Indian presidential palace, Modi has thrown everything he can hold around him to the ground, whether it is antiques, calligraphy and paintings, or some treasured Buddha statues, all of them have been shattered.
Through the heavy wooden door, hundreds of staff members and military high-ranking officials seemed to be able to hear the roar inside.
After venting, Modi opened his door and immediately roared: "Immediately launch a missile attack on Somali mainland, I don't want to hear any doubts." ”
"Yes, yes......" The staff and military top brass all nodded and dispersed.
At the same time, in the Bagua City Base, Li Lan, Natasha, and Tanya witnessed the destruction of the entire Indian Navy's Virat aircraft carrier battle group, and the entire attack process and the destruction of each warship have been cut into a 50-minute documentary with the efforts of the propaganda forces, and with the narration, it can be shown in front of the eyes of the world.
"We started locating all Indian submarines in the Arabian Sea, and after 12 hours, I don't want to see any more Indian submarines active in the Arabian Sea." Li Lan further gave the order.
Got the main force of surface warfare. Naturally, it will be the turn of the submarine forces, and Somalia will want to conduct a large-scale operation against India. It is necessary to open up a safe sea passage from which large quantities of troops and supplies can be transported to the battlefield. Depart from the Gulf of Aden. To get to India, you have to pass through the Arabian Sea, so this naval battle will be concentrated in the Arabian Sea.
"The dolphin forces are all scattered, and some of the submarines have been locked down, and the king octopus and the giant squid are ready to be prepared." Natasha replied.
"If you find it, you will immediately attack, share the location and intelligence of Indian submarines with Pakistani allies, and at the same time send it to every one of our naval forces in the Arabian Sea. Li Lan said.
"Yes"
"The Air Force's strategic bombing force will arrive in India in thirty minutes, with eight century stealth bombers as the main core. Bombing industrial areas in major Indian cities, lightning supersonic bombers were tasked with supporting Pakistani friendly forces. Tanya said.
"Let the second batch of strategic bombing forces set off immediately, and the third batch of strategic bombing forces be ready to prepare for the fourth batch of strategic bombing forces, in short, I will see in the next 72 hours that my strategic bombing forces will bomb India without stopping." Li Lan ordered.
"Yes, I'll connect to Air Force headquarters right away." Tanya commanded.
Li Lan nodded and began to issue a series of orders:
"And the notice. As soon as the First Fleet and the Sixth Fleet approach the Bay of Bengal, they will launch targeted bombardments on India's eastern coast, and I do not want to see such calm in India. Whatever the means, I want India to feel the breath of all-out war at once. ”
"The Seventh Fleet was ordered to immediately move to the central waters of the Indian Ocean, with the 1st, 3rd, and 5th dreadnought formations assisting the Seventh Fleet. They had only one goal, to find the remaining aircraft carrier formations in India. And then annihilation. ”
"The 1st Marine Division and the 2nd Paratrooper Division were ordered to be ready for all sorties within twelve hours. The Special Operations Brigade is always ready to board and prepare for a surprise attack on New Delhi. I'm going to have a center to bloom. ”
"Order the amphibious task force to start a pre-emptive fire strike on the originally planned landing city, and they have twelve hours to knock out all coastal airfields and all military installations in India."
……
At the same time, in the depths of the Arabian Sea, a silent contest has begun.
The destruction of the Indian aircraft carrier squadron Virat, this news has not yet been conveyed to the Indian submarines, of course, India wants the two Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines leased by the United States, as the guardians of the Virat aircraft carrier, naturally know about this.
However, these two submarines are not having a good time now, and above their heads, they can see Somali warplanes or helicopters at any time, and as for the Somali naval ships, they are still hundreds of kilometers away, and they dare not rashly launch anti-ship missiles.
Although this distance is within the range of the Whaling Fork-3 anti-ship missile, once the missile is launched, they will unleash a large range of taunt skills, and then they will be surrounded by anti-submarine forces, and there is only one end, which is destroyed.
Of course, they also hope that the Somali side can take into account the nature of the nuclear submarine, after all, once the nuclear submarine is destroyed, it is very likely to cause a large number of nuclear leaks, affecting the ecology of the entire sea area.
However, in the face of nuclear submarines, it is not necessary to completely destroy, the defense of the nuclear submarine itself is extremely high, as long as the number of ordinary torpedoes is not large, it is impossible to illuminate the nuclear submarine into a comprehensive destruction explosion.
Therefore, it is not difficult to force out the nuclear submarine, just knock out the pressure compartment or power compartment of the other side, so that the submarine can only float or stay in the sea forever waiting for rescue.
But there are not so many concerns about India's conventional submarines, India has the most submarines, that is, the Kilo-class submarines purchased by Russia, as for those nuclear submarines and other types of submarines leased from Russia, they have all been recycled by Russia, after all, there is one more United States, and the Russians do not want their submarines to be patronized by the Americans.
A wide net was spread out in the Arabian Seas, with all six Pakistani AIP submarines dispatched, and the Somali Navy also dispatched 16 AIP submarines and four attack nuclear submarines, a total of 26 submarines, with hundreds of dolphins and hundreds of giant squid.
It is often said that the best means of anti-submarine warfare is submarine anti-submarine anti-submarine, but here in Somalia, this does not work. Because dolphins are naturally masters of finding submarines, submarines in Vietnam at the beginning. American submarines, Israeli submarines. They were all found by dolphins.
Not to mention the small Arabian Sea, the Red Alert Navy's submarine headquarters has already sent dolphins to various seas around the world, bringing extremely detailed marine information and a large number of signs of submarine activities to the submarine headquarters.
India's submarines are mainly active in the Indian Ocean, and the Indian Ocean happens to be the first sea area monitored by the Somali submarine headquarters, and it is also the core of monitoring, so any submarine in the Indian Ocean can hardly escape the eyes of the submarine headquarters.
It doesn't matter if it's an Australian submarine, or an American submarine. As soon as you enter the Indian Ocean, you will be the first to be discovered.
In particular, the US submarines, when Li Lan secretly got their hands on the Seawolf-class submarines, there were the sonar spectrum of all US warships and submarines and the changes in the earth's magnetic field.
The two Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines leased from the United States have been under the monitoring of the anti-submarine forces of the Red Alert Navy.
No matter where they move, they can't escape the eyes of anti-potential forces.
This quiet tracking lasted for several hours. Half an hour after the complete annihilation of the USS Virat, the assault officially began.
No surface ships came close to the two 10,000-ton attack nuclear submarines, and in the sky, four naval anti-submarine versions of peacekeeping anti-submarine aircraft modified from peacekeeping bombers. Two by two stared at one of them.
The sonar buoy for final positioning confirmation is dropped on the surface of the sea, under the belly of the aircraft, and the magazine is quickly opened. Four anti-submarine missiles hung quietly in the belly of the peacekeeping anti-submarine aircraft.
"Sonar number jù confirmed, bearing 020. The depth is 420 meters, and the distance up and down is 80. The distance of movement forward and backward is 400 yards, the attack range circle is determined, and the number of jù input anti-submarine missiles is completed. ”
"The sonar tracking chip of the anti-submarine 1 and anti-submarine 2 V-2FQ missiles is activated, and thirty seconds later, the missile is launched."
"The Dolphin unit immediately moved away from the range of the attack, and the missile is expected to encounter the target in thirty seconds."
On the peacekeeping anti-submarine plane, in addition to the captain and co-pilot, the remaining three anti-submarine crews, after receiving the attack order, began to lock on the attack target, close to the nose of the equipment cabin, there are four seats on each side, and on the closed airport wall separated from the bomb magazine, on an LED display, the position of the submarine is firmly locked and displayed on it.
After selecting the attack weapon, the weapons control personnel immediately pressed the release button, and the two antisubmarine missiles weighing 1.5 tons broke away from the belly of the peacekeeping antisubmarine plane, the fuselage suddenly rose more than 10 meters, and the warheads of the two missiles pointed downwards and plunged directly into the bottom of the sea.
The waterjet propulsion device at the tail of the missile began to provide high-speed power for the missile, and the passive sonar receiving device of the missile warhead and the earth's magnetic field change sensing device were activated at the same time to compare the position of the target with the information recorded in the chip.
Just two seconds later, the two missiles immediately locked onto a moving submarine on the 400-meter-dark seabed, and the tail fin device at the tail of the missile began to adjust its direction, and it kept correcting the secret position under the control of the computer chip.
At the same time, on the Indian Navy's Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine, sonars sounded the attack alarm for the first time.
"Attack weapons were found, sonar data showed that it was a water-jet anti-submarine missile with a speed of forty meters per second, and it was encountered six seconds later."
"Open all the pressure chambers, sink at full speed, control the zhì room, reverse at full speed. Release the decoy sonar device to guide the opposing missile away. "The captain is an experienced veteran Indian Navy with 10 years of captain's service and has lived on the seabed longer than he has lived on land.
This submarine has been running in with more than 100 sailors under his command for several years, and there is no problem at all in using it, and in the huge control tower, this is the battlefield where he commands this submarine of tens of thousands of tons.
The attack of the Somali Navy was completely expected by him, and if it were him, after taking out the aircraft carrier, he would also strive to kill the attack nuclear submarines of the aircraft carrier fleet as soon as possible, because an attack nuclear submarine already has the full ability to threaten an aircraft carrier battle group.
In particular, the missiles inside the submarine, but they are equipped with nuclear cruise missiles, are definitely not easy to mess with. Attack nuclear submarines are not only nuclear-powered, but also the nuclear weapons they contain.
It's just that the attack came more ferociously and quickly than he expected. Originally, he also thought that if the Somali Navy wanted to find him, it needed to grasp and hide well, but now this result made him feel a bad premonition.
The submarine that was slowly moving forward suddenly burst out of a large number of water bubbles around the submarine, and then the submarine dived quickly, and in the launch bay at the tail of the submarine, many small thrusters were released, and then began to scurry around not far from the submarine.
Peacekeeping anti-submarine aircraft.
The sonar officer said quickly: "The other party dived quickly and released a large number of decoy sonar signals, which could not be effectively analyzed in a short period of time. The Earth's magnetic field number jù is being proofread to compare the magnetic field number jù of the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine to search for the location of the submarine. ”
The weapons control personnel were very confident: "It's okay, our anti-submarine is the latest, with the function of calibrating the earth's magnetic field, they can hide their sonar signals, but they will never be able to change the change of such a large submarine on the earth's magnetic field." ”
"The location of the fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field has been found, and our missiles are correcting the depth of attack and are not deviating from the target." The sonar man laughed.
At the bottom of the sea, a life-and-death speed is being staged, inside the submarine.
The sonar's face has long been replaced by fear: "The incoming missile was not attracted by the decoy, and it encountered it three seconds later." ”
The captain's face changed, "The pressure chamber is immediately pressurized and dives at full speed." After a slight pause, he continued to order: "Everyone be ready to withstand the impact. ”
Three seconds passed in a flash, and two anti-submarine missiles slammed into the tail of the Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine, and the huge explosion formed an incomparably short vacuum in the seawater, and another explosion caused the entire submarine to completely break the tail and a large amount of seawater poured into it.
The strong tremor caused the entire submarine to withstand an earthquake like a magnitude of twelve, and if all the personnel were not prepared, they would probably not even be able to stand on their feet. However, there are also many soldiers who did not grasp the fixed handle around them, and broke their heads and injured their hands and feet.
"There was a break in the tail, 70 percent of the pressure chamber in the tail began to lose pressure, and we were diving quickly and passively."
"Seawater is rapidly entering the aft cabin, and according to the emergency plan, the system has automatically closed the aft compartments 1 to 3 to prevent seawater from pouring into the other compartments."
"Immediately release all the seawater from all the ballast chambers in the bow of the ship."
With the captain's order, the submarine began to fall to the bottom of the sea, and suddenly the front of the submarine stopped diving, and the tail was in a state of diving, and at the same time, the huge buoyancy suddenly generated by the upper part of the submarine pulled the submarine quickly towards the sea surface.
Peacekeeping anti-submarine aircraft.
The sonar officer said with a happy face: "Confirm that the submarine is hit, the target is losing pressure, and the rapid dive is in the depths of 480 meters, 500 meters, 550 meters, ......, the target has stopped diving, and is floating, the speed is medium, 500 meters, 480 ......."
"Inform the on-call Einsatzgruppen that as soon as the submarine reaches the surface, it will be ready to take prisoners."
A minute later, on the calm sea, the huge head of the submarine suddenly rushed out of the sea, rolling uncontrollably on the sea, and most of the tail was still calm in the sea.
At this time, two Nighthawk helicopters had already arrived, and more than two dozen special forces were dispatched to the . Bare. Exposed to the surface of the submarine, ready to capture the submarine.
However, before they could break down the door, a white flag was raised, and someone shouted from inside the submarine: "We ask that you treat the prisoners well in accordance with the Geneva Conventions." ”
"We don't have a habit of abusing the captives, everyone immediately goes to the submarine, and the rioters are killed."
Ten minutes later, the remaining nearly 100 Indian sailors stepped out of the sun-filled submarine with empty hands, and in the distance, a multi-purpose destroyer was approaching.
At the same time, the Indian sailors in another American-made Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarine of the Indian Navy did not have such good luck; under the attack of three anti-submarine missiles, the injured submarine did not even have the ability to float because of a large amount of water, and as a result, it was directly squeezed into the water by the water pressure at a depth of 1,000 meters because of the huge pressure.
