Chapter 47: Punctuality
About a second before the mine hit the "Benxiong Gandhi", Zhang Xuefeng asked the ordnance chief... Six: Thunder wire. 【】
It was not the wires attached to the torpedoes fired at the Indian carriers, but the wires on the torpedoes of the all-electric attack submarines that were fired at the boat.
Subsequently, Zhang Xuefeng gave the order to reload the torpedo, and it was a hasty gut millimeter torpedo.
The next thing to do is wait.
Although the battle above the sea can only be judged by the sound received by the passive sonar, it is for experienced divers. It is enough to determine the combat situation.
How to use sonar and make the most of it are skills that every dive must master. Even if you go out of the sonar long dive, you have to return to the submarine academy after being promoted and before officially taking over a submarine, and receive more than half a year of professional training, including a comprehensive understanding of sonar. Although Zhang Xuefeng has worked in the position of deputy commander of the submarine for several years, he has not been an exception. Become a thug killer whale. Before the assembly chief, Zhang Xuefeng went to the submarine academy for half a year. Focus on learning about sonar.
Of course, most of this learning is for the occasional need.
With the advancement of technology, computers are able to do a lot of the work that previously had to be done by humans. For example, when Hua Jianfeng served as the captain of the "Gun Squid", the sonar ears were much more sensitive than the computer, and an excellent sonar chief often determined the combat effectiveness of the submarine; By the time Hua Jianfeng arrived on the "Sword Fighter Fish" as the captain, the length of the sonar had been reduced a lot, and the computer's analysis ability surpassed that of the sonar chief's brain; When the "Dolphin" class attack submarine was put into service, the sonar chief became the "electrician" who maintained the sonar. "And not a skilled sergeant who navigates a submarine by ear; to "killer whales." class attack submarines when in service. Computers not only replace sonar chiefs, but they can also do many things that sonar chiefs can't. Using noise to analyze the situation on the battlefield is one of the tasks that only a computer can do.
Prior to this, Xiao Jingbo made full use of this advantage.
Zhang Xuefeng is no exception, because submarines can only rely on sonar when diving.
The results of the computer's analysis made Zhang Xuefeng feel a little puzzled. First air combat, then missile attacks. There is nothing wrong with this in itself, the problem is that the missile attack arrived only after the end of the air battle. And not at the same time as the air battle.
What made Zhang Xuefeng wonder even more was that. The intensity of the missile attack on the front was not great, and it was simply impossible to break through the air defense network of the Indian fleet.
A good commander will never be fooled by appearances.
At the end of the second round of missile attacks, Zhang Xuefeng gave the order to attack, letting "killer whales." The torpedo was fired.
Because the Military Intelligence Agency has long provided the performance data of the "Bainbridge" class air defense cruisers and the "Zumwalt" class air defense destroyers obtained by the Indian Navy from the United States, and even provided the ammunition allocation of two types of warships when performing fleet escort missions, the United States took the lead in using universal vertical shooters on warships, so it will allocate ammunition according to the task. Therefore, Zhang Xuefeng can easily calculate the anti-aircraft missiles consumed by the Indian fleet in the first three rounds of air defense operations, especially regional anti-aircraft missiles. With this data. Zhang Xuefeng was able to judge whether the Indian Eastern Fleet could withstand the fourth round of attacks.
If it can't withstand it, the Indian Eastern Fleet will have to use forced electromagnetic interference equipment.
This is the opportunity that Zhang Xuefeng has been waiting for.
The Republic Navy conducted experiments after the Japanese War, proving that any electronic equipment that is not protected by electromagnetic shielding in all bands is devastating. Based on the results of this experiment, the submarine forces of the Navy of the Republic summed up a new tactic of attacking with torpedoes after the enemy had used forced electromagnetic interference equipment. Back in the year of the milk thug, the submarine forces proved the effectiveness of this tactic.
Of course, within the submarine forces of the republic, this tactic is not a secret.
Xiao Jingbo took this into account, and Zhang Xuefeng had already thought of this.
Merely. The timing of the two choices is not exactly the same. Xiao Jingbo launched the attack only after the Indian West Fleet used forced electromagnetic interference equipment. And Zhang Xuefeng chose to attack before that.
What's more. Zhang Xuefeng's attack methods are even more unique.
The three Indian aircraft carriers were not fired at the millimeter heavy torpedoes in the torpedo tubes, because Zhang Xuefeng paid more attention to the threat from under the sea surface, so he had already installed his nephew's millimeter anti-submarine torpedoes on the torpedo tubes. When attacking, he used a nephew's millimeter anti-ship torpedo installed in the ammunition timer. Because the ammunition shooter does not have the ability to guide wires. So he fired a little torpedoes at each of the carriers, and in total shot the hitters "killer whales." so the torpedo fired was the first to hit the flagship of the Indian Eastern Fleet.
It can be seen from this that Zhang Xuefeng has a better understanding of the combat effectiveness of the "Killer Whale" class attack submarines.
If you follow the traditional attack method. In order to ensure the safety of the ship, it is necessary to attack the enemy's submarine first, and then attack the aircraft carrier after loading. Obviously, this did not push the combat effectiveness of the "Orca" class submarines to the limit. Or rather, ammunition shooters are not fully utilized.
As an additional weapon, the greatest use of the ammunition shooter is to enhance the ability of submarines to attack multiple targets.
Before the attack, only the fire control data needs to be input for the torpedo or missile in the ammunition projector, and the submarine does not need to control the torpedo and missile, so that the submarine can attack more threatening targets in a more confident way.
Of course, this can't be said that Xiao Jingbo doesn't understand "killer whales." level of combat capabilities.
Because of the use of self-guided attacks. "The torpedoes fired by four dozen drug-fired torpedoes are easily interfered with, and the hit rate is absolute: the line-guided torpedoes fired by the man-white mine tube. In this way, a captain like Xiao Jingbo is more willing to use torpedoes in ammunition launchers to expand the results of battle, rather than using them as their main weapon. In fact, Zhang Xuefeng also has such plans. It's just that in the situation of the "Killer Whale", he has to take out the female Quanran submarine and damage the moving aircraft carrier in the Indian Eastern Fleet at the same time, because he is not aware of several rounds of missile attacks.
I use striking power flexibly. It can be regarded as Zhang Xuefeng's most outstanding personal ability.
The attack turned out much better than he expected, with the Indian Eastern Fleet focused on air defense, and with anti-ship missiles approaching. None of the rut aircraft carriers noticed the threat from below the surface of the sea. The thugs who shot out licked the millimeter anti-ship torpedoes and at least hit the strip.
More importantly, the hit rate of the licking millimeter anti-submarine torpedo of the attack rut all-electric submarine.
After waiting for about two minutes, the officers and men of the "Killer Whale" heard four dull explosions coming from outside the boat.
Although Zhang Xuefeng was confident enough to conclude that the anti-submarine torpedo of the car had hit the target, he was relieved only after the fire control computer analyzed the nature of the explosion.
The all-electric submarines that India procures from the United States are not bad, but the anti-submarine torpedoes of the republic are not bad either.
The main promoter of the rapid popularization of all-electric submarines is not the United States, but the Republic, which has long pushed all-electric submarines into the international market. The Navy of the Republic invested huge sums of money in the development of advanced anti-submarine torpedoes. Like submarines, anti-submarine torpedoes have also embarked on an all-electric approach, first using advanced technologies such as biomimetic noise reduction technology and magnetohydrodynamic propulsion technology that can greatly reduce the noise of the torpedo itself, so that the performance of the torpedo is always ahead of the submarine. Of course, according to the consistent practice of the Republic, the advanced anti-submarine torpedoes, which have applied a large number of advanced technologies, are first equipped with the Navy of the Republic, and only after the advent of the next generation of advanced torpedoes will they be introduced to the international market.
Camel torpedo attack moving submarines, all hits!
More critically, the Indian aircraft carriers, which carried forced electromagnetic interference devices, were all torpedoed.
Although Molovan activated the forced electromagnetic interference device at the last moment, so that all the fourth batch of anti-ship missiles crashed into the sea, but in the case of the aircraft carrier. The Indian Eastern Fleet can no longer deal with the fifth batch of anti-ship missiles that are coming to the road.
Ten thousand points, the fifth wave of attack aircraft arrived.
Fighters mouth anti-ship missiles.
Although the number is a little less, but for the Eastern Fleet of India, which has lost its defensive capability. It can definitely be a devastating blow.
The first anti-ship missile hit the hitter "Mahatma Gandhi." Number.
Although the captured aircraft carriers were heavily torpedoed, but before that. The AWACS aircraft commanding the attack aircraft group determined that the whip aircraft carrier had not yet lost its combat capability. So let the attack aircraft group concentrate on attacking the whip carrier first. There was no dispersal of forces against escort warships. According to Yang Jinjie's order, only after taking out 3 aircraft carriers. in order to deal with escort warships. The reason is very simple, if the aircraft carrier is defeated, the escort warship will become an ornament.
At this time, "killer whales." The torpedo loading operation has been completed.
Zhang Xuefeng didn't want to miss the best opportunity, and immediately attacked the whip-class aircraft carrier with a heavy torpedo of the Luotian millimeter.
Hit by a double blow of torpedoes and missiles. Even the supposedly "unsinkable" thugs lick the attack of heavy torpedoes. The problem is that when the "Nimitz" class aircraft carrier was designed, there were no anti-ship missiles in the world with a degree of pigeon, and heavy torpedoes with a charge of the old ton-rigid, yield, and their design indicators were aimed at anti-ship missiles and heavy torpedoes in the era of the knife century. If calculated according to the anti-ship missiles and heavy torpedoes used by the Navy of the Republic, the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier has a maximum of six missiles and Luo torpedoes.
Slightly heavy torpedoes hit 3 aircraft carriers respectively.
Hit this time, rut thug Nimitz. It was only a matter of time before the aircraft carrier sank. It's just that the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and for a class warship with a displacement of nearly 10,000 tons, sinking must be a relatively long process.
It was also at this time that the sixth round. That is, the last round of missile attacks arrived.
Apparently. The most lacking thing in the attack aircraft group of the fleet of the Republic is time.
In order to make its way to the Gulf of Thailand to join the refueling machine, it is impossible for the attack aircraft group to stay over the battlefield and wait until the Whip-class aircraft carrier sinks before attacking the escort warships with missiles. Because the pace of the battle was too fast, Yang Jinjie didn't have time to adjust his tactics, and he didn't even figure out the situation before the sixth round of attacks. So the sixth round of missile attacks was still aimed at the aircraft carrier that was about to sink.
At this time, Zhang Xuezheng already had a problem.
All striking forces were directed at the aircraft carrier. There was no force against the escort warships.
When the reload was completed, Zhang Xuefeng decided to attack the escort warship. It's one thing to grab the results of the battle, and it's another thing to expand the results.
It's just that submarines are much less reactive than fighters in the air.
Just as the sixth group of attack planes arrived over the battlefield and fired missiles, the Indian Air Force's 2 Dart Shi-4 fighters reached the skies over India's Eastern Fleet and immediately engaged in the battle of intercepting anti-ship missiles.
The change was in vain, and Zhang Xuefeng was also taken aback.
What shocked him was not the timing of the thugs. The Indian Air Force fighter jets arrived, but in the chaotic battlefield, the fire control computer of the "Orca" only judged that there was a fighter heart, but did not immediately judge that the fighter was anti-submarine and the first link was anti-submarine
Obviously, Zhang Xuefeng first considered not fighters, but anti-submarine patrol aircraft.
Before figuring out the situation, Zhang Xuefeng stabilized the armory. No torpedoes were fired. If it was an anti-submarine patrol aircraft that came. The only option for the "Killer Whale" was to immediately dive into the deep sea and end the attack.
Although there were several submarine-launched anti-aircraft missiles in the shell of the "Orca's" command platform, no captain was willing to use such anti-aircraft missiles with a range of less than 1,000 meters against anti-submarine patrol planes in the air.
With the Indian Air Force's fighter-launched interceptor missile, Zhang Xuefeng figured out the situation.
It's just that new problems have come out.
More than half of the anti-ship missiles fired by the sixth group of attack aircraft were knocked out by the interceptor missiles fired in the first four directions, and the rest could not immediately sink the Indian aircraft carrier.
More importantly, at this juncture, the escort warships of the Indian fleet collectively turned to plus.
It is not the destroyers that run at the front. Rather, "Bainbridge." Class cruiser. Because this whip cruiser is a nuclear-powered warship. The maximum degree of the "Zumwalt" class destroyers is only the Blade Festival, and the maximum degree of the "White" class destroyers is only the Witch Festival.
When Zhang Xuefeng decided to continue attacking the Indian escort warships, he captured the thug Tian Qianqian, but the range when sailing with the blade node was only a few tens of kilometers, and it was impossible to catch up with the cruiser that escaped from the island with the island section thousands of kilometers away.
As a last resort, Zhang Xuefeng could only retreat and aim at armpit thug Zumwalt. class destroyer.
Licking torpedoes chased after the destroyers, and all of them attacked in a wire-guided manner. The single hit rate will not be lower than the indignation.
Last minute. Zhang Xuetai seized the last chance.
Lick the torpedo. The licking torpedo shifted its aiming point before the attack and exploded under the keel of the Zumwalt-class destroyer, directly turning the overhead displacement of the thug strip torpedo to the attack, because the target also turned quickly, thus exploding on the left rear side of the target. Blown up the thruster on the left side of the destroyer and the left rear hull. At last. The Zumwalt-class destroyer used its remaining right-hand thruster to make its way back to Visakhapatnam and save its life.
This round of attacks showed the "killer whale." level of powerful attack capabilities.
While hitting one target in a way that attacks 3 targets at the same time. The Orca class doubled the number of targets to be attacked, allowing it to guide a torpedo to six targets at the same time.
After completing this round of attacks, the battle is basically over.
The "Killer Whale" did not rush to leave the battlefield, because Zhang Xuefeng wanted to "watch" the Indian aircraft carrier sink to the bottom of the sea.
Three points of karma. "Jawaharlal Nehru. The first to sink in the explosion.
Zhang Xuefeng did not give up the rare opportunity of "field trip". When the thug "Nehru" sank, he had the "killer whale" release a diving probe and dial "Nehru." to determine whether the nuclear reactor of the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier will not leak radioactivity in the event of a heavy blow.
Point Chinfen "thug Mahatma Gandhi." The ship broke in two and sank.
Order the soup, "Dolphins." rose to periscope depth and photographed "Hindustani" with an optoelectronic periscope. No. "Before his death." The last few photos. After 4 minutes, "Hindustani." The ship sank into the sea in a violent explosion and was eventually buried in the mud of the seabed more than four meters above the surface.
After the news of the annihilation of India's Eastern Fleet, the "Orca" embarked on its return journey.
Zhang Xuefeng didn't know that he came out with this news. Got him in a lot of trouble.
When assessing the results of the battle after the war, Liu Haifeng, according to Zhang Xuefeng's last telegram at 6 o'clock in July, determined that it was the "Killer Whale" that sank the Indian aircraft carrier. Obviously, Liu Haifeng's proposition was not supported, and Hua Jianfeng, Yang Jinjie and others all believed that it was the anti-ship missiles launched by carrier-based fighters that killed the three Indian aircraft carriers. Because Xiao Jingbo's "Lizard Whale" has already taken the lead in the battle to annihilate the Indian West Fleet. Therefore, Lin Xiaolei also hopes to give some credit to the fleet. There is no bias towards bangs.
For this matter, Zhang Xuefeng also lost his temper for several months.
It's just that at that time, whether it was Zhang Xuefeng, Hua Jianfeng and Yang Jinjie, they didn't expect it to be so far.
At 6 o'clock, it was confirmed that three aircraft carriers and one destroyer of the Indian Eastern Fleet had been sunk, and after the destroyers were heavily damaged, Hua Jianfeng sent the news to the front-line command.
Although it is still one step away from consummation, the Navy of the Republic has already completed its combat mission with great success.
More importantly, the Navy completed its combat mission within the stipulated time.
Pei Chengyi waited for a night, waiting for this news.
At 6 o'clock, the Military Intelligence confirmed the operational report of the fleet. It is certain that the western Indian fleet has been completely annihilated, and the eastern fleet has completely lost its combat capability.
Receiving the news from the Military Intelligence Agency, Pei Chengyi did not hesitate.
In Wang Lifen, Pei Chengyi, as the commander-in-chief of the front line, issued an order to the participating troops at all levels to start the war.
Strictly speaking, after the Second World War, the largest regional war really broke out at this time.
