The power of human beings has never been equated with the power of nature, not that the destructive power of human beings cannot reach the level of nature, but that human beings have always been too small in front of nature

At this moment, all the officers and men of the entire NATO Combined Fleet have no idea of the earth-shattering events that have taken place in Europe, and the balance of the entire war has begun to tilt without waiting to determine the outcome of the war.

But even if they knew, they were already too busy to take care of themselves.

The joint battle group with a combat field spanning thousands of kilometers has been extremely strong in any aspect, but in the face of nature, this so-called toughness is just a small grasshopper under a big tree, and it will never be able to shake the majestic tree.

Since the Age of Discovery, these four words have been a slogan of courage passed down from generation to generation of sailors.

Modern advanced shipbuilding technology, mankind can almost say that it has achieved this great slogan.

Today, however, the supercarrier, which represents the highest navigation technology of mankind, is like a flat boat undulating in the waves of the sea, although it will not sink, but it has made thousands of officers and soldiers on the aircraft carrier unable to even stand on their feet.

A large amount of advanced equipment inside and outside the aircraft carrier has all been damaged to varying degrees.

This is the first natural disaster faced by the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier since its launch, because the twelfth-level sea state simply cannot help such a sea monster.

But this time, they were faced with huge waves tens of meters high, and the wind they faced was nearly 100 meters per second, and it was not easy for the aircraft carrier to still be floating on the sea.

In just ten minutes, tens of thousands of sailors were in the Indian Ocean, countless equipment and ships. It has become a new habitat for underwater life.

But for the warships on the periphery of the hurricane, it is really not as good as being blown over directly in one breath.

Every sailor who has lived at sea for a long time. They couldn't stand the super bumpy boats, and everyone was swaying. The legs don't know where to step on them.

On the outermost command ship in the Pacific Ocean, looking at the swirling clouds gathering on the distant sea, the black pressure on the gloomy sky, Harris and Katsutoshi Kono, who came to the fleet in command on the Osprey transport plane, were already dripping blood in their hearts.

Due to the hurricane, the satellite was lost, the AWACS aircraft could not take off, and he had completely lost contact with the outside world.

Although he does not know why the NATO side did not prevent the formation of this hurricane. However, in fact, he didn't have the heart to think about it at the moment.

His heart is now full of blood and tears, and it is hard to write.

The fleet, which had been organized by himself for several months and dominated the world, was easily buried by a typhoon.

As the commander of hundreds of warships and hundreds of thousands of sailors in the fleet, if he was not still needed to command here, he had already pulled out his pistol and gave himself a good time.

At this moment, a figure flashed in Harris's mind, and that was Halsey, the commander of the US Navy's Third Fleet during World War II. A sad American admiral.

In the later stages of the Pacific War of World War II, the US Third Fleet was relentlessly attacked by Typhoon Cobra in addition to being bombed indiscriminately by suicide planes of the Japanese kamikaze. The commander of the fleet, Admiral Halsey, received the typhoon warning, but was unable to read it correctly. Still let the fleet stay in the waters near Wright. As a result, three destroyers were buried at the bottom of the sea, and more than 800 officers and men died. Although the aircraft carrier resisted the typhoon, 146 warplanes were destroyed.

That was the first time Halsey had been hit by a typhoon. He was suspended for four months, but only a year later. Coincidentally, in the campaign of the US military to attack Okinawa. The hapless Halsey sent the fleet to the typhoon again. The ships collided with each other in the storm and suffered heavy losses. Seventy-five planes on board the aircraft carrier fell to the bottom of the sea, and more than 70 warplanes were seriously damaged.

Halsey is known as Admiral Typhoon, and he led the US Navy's aircraft carrier fleet to encounter typhoons twice in battle.

At this moment, Harris felt that he was the unlucky typhoon general.

And this time, the fleet he buried was incomparable to the previous two times.

But he could understand Halsey's helplessness at that moment, because he had already moved the fleet towards the western Indian Ocean at full speed, but after the hurricane formed, most of the fleet's strength did not have time to leave the center of the hurricane.

For three hours, the fleet was able to move in a limited way, and it was simply impossible to avoid the center of the hurricane.

So from the very beginning, he also hoped that the NATO top would make a decision to interrupt the meteorological weapons in Somalia.

Now everything does not need to be said much, NATO, naturally, did not succeed in preventing the use of meteorological weapons in Somalia.

And he has paid an unimaginable price for this, which can no longer be measured by monetary losses.

NATO's Combined Pacific Fleet has failed and has become the saddest fleet ever seen by mankind.

"What now?" Katsutoshi Kono walked up to Harris with a sad look on his face and asked.

"How many aircraft carriers have not yet come out?" Harris asked rhetorically.

"There are still four aircraft carriers in the center of the hurricane, and the four aircraft carrier battle groups that left the center of the hurricane are recovering their combat effectiveness as soon as possible." Katsutoshi Kono said bitterly.

"Let the Maritime Self-Defense Force deploy in anti-submarine and defensive formations, we began to shrink our forces, wait for the hurricane to pass, and return to Port Nikolai as soon as possible, this naval battle, we have already lost." Harris said calmly, at this moment, he can't hate anymore, because he doesn't have the ability to hate.

"No, we still have the strength to fight, and retreating like this is the biggest defeat." Katsutoshi Kono retorted Harris's order very seriously.

Rarely, Harris didn't feel angry because of this, and said, "What do you think? ”

"We also have four aircraft carrier battles and a dozen amphibious assault ships, as well as a full ten fleet of our Maritime Self-Defense Force, and definitely have the strength to fight. My suggestion is to let the wounded aircraft carriers return to port as soon as possible to recuperate, and then use our fleet to fight guerrilla warfare with the enemy, and once we retreat, the Somali Navy will also press in with all its forces and force us to fight a decisive battle. That's the real failure. Katsutoshi Kono said excitedly.

"But do you really think we have the strength to fight?" The corners of Harris's mouth showed bitterness, pointed to the hurricane clouds in the eastern sky, and said, "This hurricane." Enough to deprive our fleet of supplies for the next few months, what do you take to fight guerrilla warfare? ”

Katsutoshi Kono's face also became very ugly. There was silence as well.

Harris continued: "Do you know what this super hurricane represents? I can tell you that this hurricane will sweep across the western Pacific Ocean. Our military facilities on the islands of the western Pacific will be damaged, and hundreds of millions of people there will also fall victim to hurricanes, do you think anyone else will come to resupply us? After such a disaster, it will not be possible to recover in a few years. ”

"I'm sorry Your Excellency, Commander, I didn't think it through." Katsutoshi Kono said with a lot of shame.

"No, you're not wrong." Contrary to Kono's expectations. Harris's voice changed suddenly:

"If I were the commander of the enemy, I would not hesitate to take out the remnants of our army. Although I don't know what the price will be to be paid to start a meteorological operation of this magnitude, I am well aware that the enemy is not only trying to make us incapable of fighting this time, but also to cut off our retreat.

Even if we return to the military port, the land-based defenses that have been ravaged by the hurricane will not be able to resist the enemy's huge fleet. The navy is only on the sea, it is a battlefield, and the combat effectiveness of aircraft carriers can only be displayed on the ocean. If our fleet returns to port and anchors, it will be suicide. Under the blow of the enemy, it will be destroyed without the ability to resist. ”

"So what should we do now?" Katsutoshi Kono didn't know what to say for a while, and he didn't go back. Not going back, either.

"It's still what I just said, shrink your forces and slowly return to the military port. But not really to go back, but to let the land-based air force repair the base as much as possible. Be prepared to support. Doing this, Harris turned to look at the western skyrim. A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he said: "Now I just hope that the other party will not be able to organize a large enough offensive force due to the hurricane." ”

Harris's concerns began at a strategic level, but he did not know that from the moment he ordered his fleet to move rapidly towards the western Indian Ocean, the end of NATO's Combined Pacific Fleet was already doomed.

This hurricane is indeed a means for Lynch Hill to force the NATO Pacific Fleet to fight a decisive battle, and as Harris said, in order to cut off the supply and backup of the NATO fleet and the retreat.

But there is also a purpose, which is to bring the NATO joint fleet closer to the middle of the Indian Ocean, because here he is ready to encircle and annihilate this fleet.

At this moment, the entire Combined Pacific Fleet could not take off fighters, and the helicopters, which were most afraid of air currents, could not take off.

The anti-submarine capabilities of the fleet have also fallen to the lowest point, and they are simply not capable of ensuring the underwater safety of the entire fleet.

In the environment of modern warfare, the relationship between spear and shield is well reflected in submarines and anti-submarine warfare.

Submarines are the most valuable combat weapons, and anti-submarine subjects have always been the key subjects of every naval country.

In terms of cost-effectiveness, submarines are the most valuable of all ships at sea.

It has also made the development of submarines in various countries diverse, and the anti-submarine form of the ocean has always been very severe.

The anti-submarine of the aircraft is the most important underwater protection force of the aircraft carrier battle group, and the submarine forces on the periphery of the aircraft carrier have launched the underwater and water defense network.

Now the entire NATO is simply not able to maintain anti-submarine work on the entire water, as expected at Lynch Hill.

Because if you change to any fleet, you will not be able to carry out flight anti-submarine work in such weather.

For this reason, he had already prepared to deal with the Japanese anti-submarine fleets on the periphery of the fleet.

The anti-submarine capability of the Japanese fleet has long been learned by the Red Alert Navy when it saw war.

I have to say that the anti-submarine capability of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force is indeed very good.

But in such an environment, even underwater submarines are not able to carry out anti-submarine in such complex sea conditions.

Not to mention these simple surface ships, but this time Lynch Hill did not use submarines.

Because even a Red Alert submarine does not have too strong combat effectiveness in such complex sea conditions.

Violent waves will drown out many sounds inside the ocean, and the complex weather and climate are extremely unfavorable for submarine anti-ship operations.

Therefore, he prepared a lot of intelligent mine weapons in advance to target the Japanese anti-submarine fleet on the periphery of NATO's Joint Pacific Fleet.

All intelligent mines are controlled by independent computers, which are modern anti-ship weapons for automatic concealment, positioning, identification and attack. It can achieve a clear, precise and fierce attack on the target that ordinary mines simply can't do.

Mines with a history of 800 years of use. It has always been a natural enemy of surface ships. Mines are not only a conventional weapon used by a weak and small country to defend its coastal areas and suppress a strong enemy's maritime attack, but also a maritime military power to blockade the enemy's ports and outlets. An effective weapon for conducting landing offensive operations.

During the Iraq War, thousands of mines were dropped by Iraq. It makes it impossible for the U.S. fleet to naturally unfold battle formations.

With the development of modern warfare science and technology, modern mines have been pushed into the ranks of high-tech weapons, especially the extensive application of microelectronic technology, so that mines have begun to develop in the direction of intelligence, and their destructiveness, sweeping resistance, and flexibility have been raised to a new level.

And the most important feature of mines is that they are not easy to detect, unlike submarines, which will emit a certain sonar signal even if they are silent.

However, mines do not have such a problem, unless they are very familiar with the waters. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to get beyond the mines.

On the ocean, it is impossible for the enemy to think that in such an environment, there are actually mines, and the surprise attack is extremely high.

The world has hundreds of thousands of smart mines of all kinds, and although Somalia is not the country with the most smart mines, it is definitely not inferior to anyone in technology.

Smart mines laid from submarines are not at all regular in appearance. Instead, it merges with the flow of seawater and sinks to the bottom of the sea, where only the smart sensors inside work.

As soon as a fixed sonar signal is detected, it will change its shape as soon as possible. Stick directly to the warship, then deal devastating explosion damage to the opponent.

Sensors inside the mine have recorded data on the sonar of each of the enemy's warships and changes in the Earth's electromagnetic environment.

For example, a mine locks onto the Arleigh Burke-class destroyer's sonar and magnetic field change data as an attack target. The mine will only attack when it finds a signal that matches it perfectly.

It is even possible to set a level of attack targeting. List other targets for use in a special naval battle environment. Enables mines to identify and attack more enemy ship targets.

At this moment, on the periphery of NATO's Combined Pacific Fleet, the warships of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, scattered do not know at all that they have entered a minefield.

And these mines are designed to deal with these Japanese warships, and thousands of smart mines have been laid in this huge sea area.

On the calm seabed, irregular mines like currents are quietly dormant at the bottom of the sea.

One after another, Japanese AIP submarines sailed past the seabed, as if they had not seen any of them.

This is because the area where the Japanese Navy is currently passing is only the periphery of the mine array, and the mines here are all ships that are set to attack the surface of the water.

In addition, according to the division of the warships in the front and rear of the Japanese fleet, the types of warships to be attacked were set.

On the sea, the hurricane was still raging, and the warships of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force that had received the alert order began to disperse.

And to continue to open a defensive ring towards the Central Indian Ocean, everything was already planned.

As long as the fleet moves to the point where the impact of the hurricane is minimal, anti-submarine helicopters can be dispatched to carry out peripheral anti-submarine work.

But they would never have imagined that under their water, intelligent mines had already smelled the smell of prey.

First of all, the passive sonar sensor on the mine receives the target sonar signal, when the target noise is found, the passive sensor will turn on to determine the target type, if it is not in line with the set target, it will not make further action, if it is on the number, the active sensor will be activated immediately, and the target will be closely monitored and tracked.

When the target advances within a certain distance, the intelligent mine can independently choose to set the fuze action program, predetermined sequence and specific target characteristics.

At this moment, one after another mines have been activated from the bottom of the sea, and the prey has come to our attack range.

The active and passive sensors have locked onto the target one by one, and all the mines have begun to float from the seabed.

After swimming towards the place where the active and passive sonar came from, and slowly approaching the target, the fuze system in the mine began to activate.

The advanced intelligent mines with no fixed form seem to have been integrated into the sea, and the passive sonar shells on the Japanese warships did not detect the approach of these uninvited guests at all.

Mines were glued directly to the bottom of the ship, and the next second a violent explosion erupted from the mines.

A Japanese Chunshio-class destroyer, which was chopping waves on the complex sea, was suddenly lifted to the surface of the sea, and a huge explosion sounded, and in the blink of an eye, the destroyer of thousands of tons was directly blown up by the waist.

The powerful power of the mines directly destroyed a warship, but it also caused the entire fleet of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force to sound the battle alarm.

Twenty nautical miles away, however, a Kongo-class destroyer had just sounded the battle alarm, and before all the officers and men could react, the battle alarm had just been sounded.

Without warning, the entire bow of the destroyer suddenly erupted into violent fire and explosions, and the entire bow of the destroyer was completely reduced to a cloud of wreckage.

The front of the ship was lifted high, the bow of the ship was blown up, the turbulent sea water poured into the bow, and a destroyer of tens of thousands of tons was soon swallowed by the turbulent water, and the sea was soon filled with the wreckage of the warship and the few survivors of the Japanese sailors.

For Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force, this is just the beginning, as more and more mines are on target, and sometimes a warship is being targeted by more than one mine. (To be continued......) r1292
