The Indian Ocean was still welcoming the constant flow of ships with her usual warmth and calm, and it was evident that she had not anticipated a terrible naval battle here in the coming time, although it might be understood that she had become accustomed to all this.

The quiet and dark environment on the bottom of the sea made Li Jianxin, the captain of the 202 boat of the Red Guard Corps attack nuclear submarine, relax his nerves a little, and at this moment, as the advance, the 202 boat is suspended alone in the sea water.

The enemy's route has been determined, and according to the plan, the 202 boat will be used as a guide and bait to lure the enemy into the encirclement, although the task is so arduous, Li Jianxin is still nervous, and has taken a little free time to observe the black sea water through the bridge glass.

Li Jianxin feels that he is not like a soldier, and his body seems to be full of too many emotional elements, compared to the usual calmness and silence of his idol Zhang Wei, Li Jianxin feels that he seems to be a little too romantic. And war is the most intolerant of romance.

War is war, the test of life and death, and the so-called romance is just a little coincidence that people occasionally find when cleaning up the battlefield. But even so, Li Jianxin still can't change his thoughts, maybe this is the reason why the country is easy to change and his nature is difficult to change.

He has applied for retirement and applied to join the civilian service, and if there is no accident, this operation will be Li Jianxin's last mission, for him, the war seems to be far less exciting than he imagined, and more often than not, it is just a practical operation class of those training contents that have been repeated countless times. Although after several games, the magnificent scenes and thrilling scenes in the reverie did not appear as scheduled.

It is precisely because of this that Li Jianxin will be in the last task. Applied for the most dangerous decoy mission.

Li Jianxin: Chinese soldier of the third class, military rank: colonel captain.

Ability: Senior Commander Ability...... (Book friend's real-name cameo)

……

"Toot! Honk! "The whole tower was filled with silence, the only thing who had the right to speak was the repeated pulse signal of the sonar, and the surrounding sea was as silent as space, as if everything had been hypnotized.

"Perhaps, this mission is going to be in vain, right?" Li Jianxin, who thought that he could rely on this mission to talk to his grandson about the capital when he was old. As time slowed down, I gradually felt a little discouraged as to whether the enemy would really follow the predetermined route. Become a focal point at the moment.

"Target was found, course 70, speed 18 knots. Among them, there are thirteen surface targets and four underwater targets! "Just when everyone's attention is a little slack. Suddenly, the sonar shouted. Suddenly, everyone present was once again in a nervous mood.

Li Jianxin and the deputy captain quickly ran to the sonar almost at the same time, and looked at the green sonar screen for a moment.

At this moment, on the screen of passive sonar, more than a dozen clear points of light are slowly moving from the edge of the screen to the center, and the unhurried speed of the other party does not make everyone feel relaxed at the moment, on the contrary, it makes people more nervous.

The number of enemies increased from thirteen to seventeen, which was for everyone present. Definitely not good news, after a moment of silence. Li Jianxin immediately ordered: "Check the sonar characteristics, and at the same time send an intelligence verification request to the flagship to confirm that the number of enemy targets has been headed, and at the same time do an exchange of intelligence." ”

"The sonar signature has been checked, and the characteristics of the underwater target are 99% similar to the characteristics of the Japanese tide-class submarine, and among the main surface targets, the Kamikita of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force has been confirmed." Just when Li Jianxin was lucky to think that maybe the other party was an irrelevant fleet passing by temporarily, the sonar man's report again completely dispelled his luck, the other party was obviously the target they had been waiting for, and due to intelligence errors, the number of the other party was obviously equal to his own.

"The blue-green laser communication is complete, and the flagship has sent an order, and the plan remains unchanged!" The next order completely dispelled Li Jianxin's doubts, and after receiving the order, he quickly put away the surprise he had just now and hurried back to the command platform.

"Engine room ready, front torpedo room ready!"

"Yes, the engine room is ready, the front torpedo room is ready!"

"The generator increases the output power and enters a silent sailing state!"

"Yes, the generator increases its output and enters a state of silent sailing!"

As successive orders were given, SCP-202, which had been hovering under the surface of the sea, began to move like a giant beast awakened, gradually moving, and the slight rotation of the 7-blade large side oblique propeller at the stern brought up groups of slender bubbles, pushing the huge boat to gradually move forward.

————

"The two-axle thruster reduces the output power, the course is 70, the speed is reduced to 15 knots!" On the water, Yamamoto, chief of staff of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force, looked at the calm sea in front of him for a while, and then suddenly ordered in a low voice.

"Yes, the two-axle thruster reduces the output power, the course is 70, and the speed is reduced to 15 knots!" With his order, the fleet, which had been bravely cleaving the waves on the sea, reduced its speed almost at the same time, and the huge roar from the fleet became low and rhythmic.

"Order the anti-submarine helicopter to take off and conduct reconnaissance of the sea area within 60 kilometers ahead!" It has been a while since leaving the capital ship group, and for the possible enemy, the calm sea area in front of you is obviously the most suitable for ambushes, and the complex sea conditions on the seabed seem to be calm, but there are many ocean currents, which provide a lot of convenience for the infestation of submarines. Fighting was a prudent decision, and Yamamoto felt that there was no need to risk it for unwanted convenience.

On the deck of the Japanese Osumi-class amphibious transport ship Shangbei, several SH-60Js were quickly dragged out of the hangar after receiving orders, and under the fanning of the powerful cantilever wings, the helicopter formation quickly flew off the deck and flew towards the distant sea. On the calm sea, countless sonar buoys were quickly thrown into the water at certain intervals, and at the same time, the Upper North was on board. The towed sonar was also released at the same time.

The long active sonar swirls into the water as it spins into the water, and high-frequency pulsed sound waves are transmitted through the sea water quickly into the distance like bursts of seductive calls.

"Underwater targets were found. The sonar signature shows that it is a Somali submarine, which is consistent with the Somali submarine data obtained from the U.S. military's comprehensive database. The target course is 30 and the speed is 18 knots! Soon, a clear echo suddenly appeared on the sonar screen on the Shangbei, and before receiving the order, the sonar had taken the lead in inputting the characteristics of the other party into the computer. Soon, a short line of introductions appeared at the top of the screen.

"Command the fighter before the order, and carry out triangulation!" The appearance of the other party did not surprise Yamamoto Takaki. After nodding silently, he commanded again.

After the sonar buoy is thrown into the water, it immediately gradually extends the long hydrophone it carries like a jellyfish's tentacles. On the Upper North. The pulses emitted by the active sonar spread through the water like the song of the sea witch, and although most of the sound waves were absorbed by the silocene tiles after touching the 202 boat, a small part of them were still stubbornly diffused in other directions.

Like a hound's keen sense of smell, the hydrophone carefully listens around the surrounding sea, and quickly converts the faint but familiar sound waves it has just received into radio signals. Passed back to the SH-60J.

"Toot, toot. On the ......" sonar screen, the coordinates of the 202 boat, which was not very accurate, were quickly determined at this moment, and soon, with the computer's calculation, the clear three-dimensional was immediately transmitted to the war room.

"The target bearing, depth, and distance have been determined, please indicate!" After receiving specific information, the war room quickly asked Yamamoto for instructions.

"Maybe we can make a warning gesture to warn the other side to leave our fleet, for the sake of the United States, we don't need to ......" Hearing the request, the deputy commander immediately whispered to Yamamoto Takaki's side, but stopped in the middle of the conversation, believing that Yamamoto had understood what he meant.

How could Yamamoto not understand his suggestion, Japan's entry into this war was just a transaction, and the success or failure of the war was not taken into account by the Japanese side. Japan is also willing to follow the Americans, but the outbreak of combat power in Somalia has made the Japanese side frown. If the United States loses this war, it may be Japan's real chance......

Doing your best is what many Japanese people are thinking about right now. However, Gottney is a very sophisticated fellow, and the extraordinary combat effectiveness of the Somali army makes the veteran can't help but be cautious. The anti-submarine capabilities of the Japanese fleet were extremely strong, and as a result, as a result of the situation that is now being seen, the Japanese fleet was sent to the danger zone to carry out the peripheral anti-submarine power of the core of the fleet.

"Order the fleet and sink the other side at once." It's a pity that before the other party's words were finished, Yamamoto Takaki had already interrupted this suggestion with a frown.

If the U.S. side loses and the navy suffers, it will be an opportunity for Japan. But what kind of strength does the Somali Navy have? If it were easily routed by the Allied fleet, it would probably cause great trouble for Japan.

It is a matter of national fortune, and Yamamoto Eagle Machine cannot afford to gamble.

On the other hand, as a high-ranking general of the Japanese Self-Defense Forces, Yamamoto Eagle also has the idea of demonstrating the powerful combat effectiveness of the Japanese Navy to the whole world. No matter how deterrent the exercise is, 10 times is not enough to withstand a meaningful actual battle. If Japan were able to sink a Somali submarine, it would be a huge boost to Japan's prestige, and it could also be used to reap even greater benefits from the United States.

"Whoosh!" The command was quickly fed back to the SH60J that stayed over the submarine, and with the activation of the launch system, two: two Mk46 anti-submarine torpedoes were quickly ejected from the launch tube after a burst of intense fire, and the engine at the tail of the projectile body had been ignited in the air, and then, under the action of the booster, the self-guided torpedo quietly entered the water, and then the acoustic homing head immediately began to work, and quickly rushed towards the 202 boat according to the target signal characteristics that had been transmitted to the missile body computer.

"The sound of a high-speed propeller was detected, the azimuth was 95, the distance was 3 nautical miles, the speed was 40 knots, and it was expected to encounter it in five minutes!" The sudden attack caught the 202 boat by surprise, and the close entry of the Asroc anti-submarine missile into the water greatly shortened its time from detection. By the time the sonar signal was fed back to 202, the torpedo had approached less than three nautical miles from the submarine.

"Increase the output power of the pressurized water reactor, add 15 degrees to the left rudder, 30 degrees to sail and position, and release the air curtain bomb!" In a hurry, Li Jianxin eliminated the slightly chaotic thoughts in his mind and immediately ordered decisively.

"Yes, increase the output power of the pressurized water reactor, add 15 degrees to the left rudder, 30 degrees to sail and position, and release the air curtain bomb!" Under the repeated orders, the combatants on standby in each engine room immediately took quick action, and the 202, which was still quietly submerged, suddenly accelerated rapidly, and the seven-bladed large oblique side propeller in the tail spun rapidly, pushing the 202 boat forward as quickly as a swordfish.

At the stern of the boat, countless strange chemicals are quickly released out of the boat under the action of speed through the release port, and after the material encounters with the seawater, a large number of bubbles are immediately generated. Soon, the originally calm sea surface was filled with many bubbles, and in the distance, the guidance head of the self-guided torpedo was also lost the signal to keep tracking.

"It is reported that the target is moving at a high speed and is currently out of the surveillance area." On the surface, through the surveillance of hydrophones, the general movement of SCP-202 was immediately captured.

"Order the escort fleet, go to the expulsion target, and the rest of the personnel, the course of the target remains the same!" Watching 202 quickly draw a trajectory on the sonar screen, Yamamoto commanded without the slightest temptation.

Li Jianxin was not disappointed that the plan to lure the enemy did not come true, and he was even a little surprised when he saw the two destroyers sent by the other party to pursue him on the sonar display. Seeing the situation in front of him, after hesitating for a moment, he quickly reported the situation, and then ordered the ship to turn around and row back according to the plan.

A Haruna-class Hiei and a Shirane-class Kurama are fortunate to be hunters of the 202 boat, as the second generation of Japanese destroyers, Hiei and Kurama are almost exclusively anti-submarine customized destroyers, the battleship, carrying three HSS-2B "Sea King" helicopters, although as the main anti-submarine helicopter in the past, HSS-2B has somewhat outdated, but for a submarine, such a huge amount of air anti-submarine power can still easily kill the other party.

Compared with Li Jianxin's surprise and satisfaction, the captain of the Kurama, as the commander of this expulsion mission, felt extremely disappointed, a submarine does not seem to be worth such a mobilization, right? Especially after receiving the order from the chief of staff himself to sink it directly, his thoughts became even stronger.

On the rear deck of the ship, the HSS-2B helicopter that took off has replaced the returning SH-60J, continuing the mission of pursuing 202. (To be continued......)
