Chapter 390: Using Your Example as Bait
"Lao Lin, why have you set up an ambush and haven't moved yet?" Looking at the chart in front of him, Chen Zhihong suddenly asked Lin Kexing, who was engrossed in studying the intelligence beside him.
"Half and half!" Hearing the other party's inquiry, Lin Kexing immediately said briefly.
"What do you mean by half and half?" The other party's answer did not make him understand, but on the contrary, it made him feel more confused.
"There is a possibility that our intentions will be discovered by the enemy." Looking at the chart in front of him, Lin Kexing suddenly said with a gloomy face.
"How is it possible, the enemy must not ...... How can you say that? Chen Zhihong was surprised for a moment, and then asked calmly.
"Forward reconnaissance reports show that the other side did not change course, but left the decoy there. What do you think they're going to do? Lin Kexing, who heard the inquiry, did not even raise his head, but pointed to the route on the chart and muttered to himself.
"The enemy must be frightened, after all, the method of encircling the point to send reinforcements is a bit old-fashioned, and it may not be necessary for them to see through it." Hearing Lin Kexing's inquiry, Chen Zhihong hurriedly said.
"The enemy's speed is only 15 knots, and if they are really scared, with their speed, they can reach more than 30 knots, and we can't even catch up. Scared, doesn't make sense, doesn't make sense. As soon as the other party's words fell, Lin Kexing immediately shook his head and said.
"And what do you think they want to do?" Chen Zhihong obviously felt a little confused, but in the face of the situation in front of him, he had nothing to do.
"With only one move, anything can be solved!" Lin Kexing suddenly raised his head and said.
"What's the move?"
"Turn on active sonar and search the nearby seas."
"What do you say? You let the submarine turn on the active sonar? What's the difference between that and telling them we're there! Hearing Lin Kexing's bold decision, Chen Zhihong immediately reminded in surprise.
"All it takes is one boat to round up the bait to be exposed. The problem is, we're giving an order. Or do you need to find a supporter? For the first time, Lin Kexing ignored the other party's opinion, but muttered to himself again.
Red Police Corps submarine blue-green laser communication network. The only one who has the right to speak is Lin Kexing, only Li Jianxin is left at the moment, and only his position is suitable for the submarine in the target area. Although this was an extremely dangerous mission, Li Jianxin still readily accepted it after hearing the introduction of the mission.
What does it mean for a submarine to turn on the active sonar, all the submarine captains present know very well that turning on the active sonar means revealing their position. Exposing the position means that it will be continuously attacked from the air and water.
"Good luck with your victory!" In the communication, Lin Kexing did not give any instructions for Ji Lu for the first time, but gave a rare blessing.
"Positioning course 45, plus left rudder 20 degrees, measuring reserve buoyancy, draining the main water tank, floating to a depth of 100 meters within three minutes, releasing towed sonar. Bow active sonar ready! Without answering the commander-in-chief's blessing, Li Jianxin suddenly ordered the soldiers around him in a loud and unusual voice.
"Yes, positioning course 45, plus left rudder 20 degrees."
"The main water tank drains. Ascend to a depth of 100 meters in three minutes. ”
"Release the towed sonar, and the bow active sonar is ready!"
“…………”
"The towed sonar has been released, and the bow active sonar has completed the start-up preparation!" Li Jianxin was answered by the soldiers' louder shouts. Everyone present now understands what it means to them to turn on active sonar, perhaps. Some of them have complaints, and perhaps they are dissatisfied. But no one refused, and a few complaints that weren't even a light itch were their attitude.
"Scheduled search range, sea area 1! Boot! Looking at the people around who were looking at him with solemn expressions, Li Jianxin took a deep breath and ordered again.
"Wow! For! For! For! ......" In the originally quiet seawater, a truly rhythmic pulse sound wave suddenly came, and all the passive sonars of the enemy and us who were in the state of the ship immediately heard this unusually clear sound wave clearly.
"Find the opponent's position, find the opponent's position, identify the sonar characteristics............" Countless identical commands continued to sound from the command room of each ship, and almost at the moment when the sonar pulse sound wave was heard, the position of the 202 boat was also displayed on the sonar screens of all ships at the same time.
"Target model, Somali submarine, position 120, depth 100 meters, speed of two knots, distance 15 nautical miles." On the Kurama, the sonar staff almost did not stop quickly reporting the 202 Zhuyuan that had been painstakingly searching.
"Asroc anti-submarine missiles ready for launch!" Zhilu said that this was enough, and before the sonar officer could finish speaking, the captain of the Kurama could not wait to order.
"Asroc is ready, target azimuth 120, depth 100 meters, launch!" Following the order of the gunner, the huge hull of the Kurama immediately produced a slight vibration, and in the launch box, two "Asroc" anti-submarine missiles instantly broke out of the box, quickly jumped into the air, and after drawing a beautiful arc, they immediately disintegrated in the air.
After the rocket engine was abandoned, two modified Mk46 acoustic guided torpedoes slowly entered the water under the action of a parachute, and as soon as they came into contact with the water, the torpedoes immediately fired arrows at the 202 boat like activated squid.
"A high-speed moving target was found at a distance of 300 meters at a speed of 40 knots at a distance of 30 meters and encountered it 15 seconds later." The sonar simultaneously detected a rapid attack, and the sonar officer shouted a loud warning in an almost hoarse voice.
"The whole ship is ready for shockproof, do evasive actions, and release air curtain bombs!" In a hurry, Li Jianxin ordered loudly in a voice louder than the other party.
Rows of bubbles quickly steamed up around the 202 boat as the chemical agent was discharged, and the entire submarine was like a girl wrapped in a white light veil at the moment, suddenly becoming shy and confused.
Not far away, two Mk46 torpedoes had approached the vicinity of the 202 boat at this moment, and this sudden large number of bubbles quickly obscured the transmission of high-frequency sound waves, and an MK46 torpedo suddenly turned around as if it was confused, as if shooting from a distance.
Pity. The 202's good fortune seems to have stopped there, and the other MK46 still stubbornly remembers the characteristics of the 202's high-frequency sonar. Straight through the bubble layer that was constantly transpiring and bursting, the torpedo of more than 200 kilograms slammed into the stern of the 202 boat. The ensuing explosion immediately lifted the submarine into the air.
"Boom!" The sudden explosion and violent shaking made almost everyone in the boat heavily accustomed to the bulkhead, and the original bright lights in the submarine suddenly went black, and the huge impact force made the submarine spin irrepressibly, and finally stopped under the action of sea water after a complete change of direction.
At the same time as the backup light was turned on, Li Jianxin immediately instinctively got up, at this moment. He only felt terrible pain all over his body, but when he saw the damage warning flashing on the computer screen around him, he completely forgot how he felt and shouted loudly to the communicator again.
"Check the state of the damage, close the watertight door in the damaged area, rescue the wounded, turn off the power, and overhaul the power supply facilities!" A litany of commands. It doesn't seem to be getting the same response as it always has. Beside them, the other people who had just gotten up from the ground rushed to the outer cabin as soon as they heard the order.
"The tail rudder disappeared. The power compartment is badly damaged! ”
"We lost 80 percent of our power, and the internal combustion engine was completely destroyed."
"The buoyancy of the reserve was lost by 40%, and part of the compressed air tank was destroyed!"
"Towed sonar lost!"
A flurry of reports. In the next few minutes, they swarmed and plunged into Li Jianxin's heart like a stinging hornet. The enemy attack was too rapid. So fast that there is no reaction time at all. And at this moment, the commander-in-chief gave himself the task. But I'm not done yet.
"Priority is given to ensuring the power supply of the active sonar in the bow, manual adjustment, water filling in the front water tank, water filling in the speed diving cabinet, diving down to the density jump, and the active sonar continues to stay on to search for the No. 2 area." Although he knew what his order meant, Li Jianxin still ordered.
Silence, the answer to his order is still silence, a submarine that has lost power, lost its rudder, whose reserve buoyancy has been reduced to the alert level, which has lost its power supply, is still going to dive at this moment, which is tantamount to suicide at all.
"Lao Li, our hull is seriously damaged, and it can't withstand the heavy pressure of three hundred meters of water at all." After a long silence, the deputy captain suddenly reminded.
"I am the captain of the boat, I order, give priority to ensuring the bow active sonar power supply, manual adjustment, water filling in the front water tank, water filling in the speed diving cabinet, diving to the density jump, active sonar continues to keep the state on, search the No. 2 area." The answer to the other party was Li Jianxin's angry eyes and louder command repetition.
"Yes, priority is given to ensuring the power supply of the active sonar in the bow, manual adjustment, water filling in the front water tank, water filling in the speed diving cabinet, diving below the density cline, active sonar continues to remain on, and search for area No. 2." The first to respond to Li Jianxin was the herald who had just gotten up, and after silently wiping the blood that kept flowing from his forehead, he shouted again as always.
"Gollum, Gollum, Gollum!" Under manual operation, the seawater was introduced into the tank again, and the 202 boat began to dive slowly underwater, like an old man in the twilight.
"Hit the target!" On the Kurama, when the sonar officer finally heard a dull explosion from the sonar, he immediately took off his headset excitedly and shouted.
"Onboard, onboard!" In the command cabin, everyone cheered happily when they heard the news. For the Kurama, the submarine was like a mosquito flying around it in the dark, like a threat, lingering, and now, when it finally hit him, everyone's hearts were relieved.
"The target is sinking in place!" 202's active sonar still hasn't stopped, clearly providing the Kurama with his real-time position. Despite this, at this time, the 63 boat was no longer a threat to the Kurama.
The clear explosion told everyone that the other party had been hit, and the power of the 324 torpedo seemed to be barely able to resist only the sea wolf, and the other party did not float after being hit, but dived in place, which is enough to show that the enemy has been seriously traumatized.
"Don't worry about the sinking submarine, contact the fleet immediately and request a support ship!" Looking at the target on the sonar, which was constantly lowering the depth, the captain of the Kurama immediately said impatiently
"We have entered a density cline, the density increases, and the buoyancy of the reserve decreases! The hull damage has increased, and the third and fourth compartments have leaked water! "As the submarine approached the density cline of the so-called liquid seabed, the already badly damaged hull of the 202 was torn even more by the sudden increase in pressure.
"Stop diving, close the No. 3 and No. 4 compartments, repair and try to repair the pressurized water reactor for power supply, limit the power supply of non-fighting compartments, and provide active sonar and blue-green laser communication systems for backup power leisurely, and the sonar system continues to search the No. 3 area!" Compared with the beads of sweat that kept oozing from his head, Li Jianxin's face showed a rare seriousness, and after listening to the report, he quickly ordered.
"Wow! For! For! For! On the ...... "202 boat, the echo of the active sonar is still relentless, and all the ships in the sea that are still sailing are gradually revealing their position in the echo of this sound wave.
"No suspicious signal response has been reported in Area Three. The PWR power supply system failed to be repaired, and the main battery consumed 70% of the electricity, and it is estimated that the current consumption can still maintain the power supply time for 40 minutes. The next report seems to have mixed too many personal emotions with the return to people, and the result of losing power is the only result for everyone. At present, the only person who can change the crisis is Li Jianxin.
"Continue to search the No. 4 area and turn off the power supply to the bow bomb room." Hearing his subordinates' report, Li Jianxin bit his lip tightly and continued to order.
"Wow! For! For! For! ......Although the power in the battery is still being consumed rapidly, Li Jianxin's order is still carried out without hesitation, and the sonar of the 202 boat is now as open as a lighthouse to expose its position.
"Area 4, receiving a sonar echo, at a distance of 15 nautical miles and at a speed of 18 knots, is approaching! Sonar features are being compared. When the active sonar was still ringing as if it were consuming everyone's lives, the sonar suddenly shouted loudly to the surrounding people in a voice that was not commensurate with the oppressive atmosphere at the moment.
"Confirm the approximate orientation of the target, turn on the blue-green laser communicator, and immediately report the intelligence to the flagship!" Hearing the sonar's report, Li Jianxin, who had been standing behind him, finally let go of his lip that had been bitten bloodied, and ordered in a slightly weak voice.
"The sonar comparison is complete, and the target sonar is characterized by a tide-friendly submarine, with four in number, a course of 180, a speed of 18 knots, and the approximate target sea area is the No. 4 area!" In the command cabin, everyone was enthusiastic by this news, and they were busy in the dim light, and soon, the information was quickly transmitted to Lin Kexing's flagship.
"Turn off the active sonar, try to repair the damaged compartment, drain the main water tank, locate the water depth, two hundred meters, and slowly float." Seeing that the intelligence was finally sent out safely, Li Jianxin finally relaxed his nerves that had been tense, and at this moment he needed to consider whether the backup power could support the safe rise to the sea in 202.
