Chapter 300: Trouble on Diego Garcia Island (9)

“…… The Southampton-class light cruiser Sheffield, led three tribal-class destroyers "Avliti", "Cossacks" and "Somalis" out of the sea 240 kilometers southeast of the equatorial coast, and the light cruiser "Newcastle" towed 15 kilometers behind the "Somalis";

In addition, the main submarine of the British Navy, the Poseidon-class submarine "Lord", as an anti-submarine escort submarine, has advanced the "Sheffield" about 20 kilometers in the sea area, reminding our submarines to pay close attention. Another 'Commander' Poseidon-class submarine has now broken away from the fleet formation and headed for the predetermined target sea area. Expedition 093 report is complete, the next call is in half an hour, over! ”

Jiang Haibo was very depressed about the combat mission given to the "Expeditionary 093" boat by Admiral Chen Houfu, commander of the Royal Navy's Seventh Fleet, but he had to carry it out.

In fact, with the combat effectiveness of the "Expedition 093" alone, these British cruisers, destroyers and submarines can all be sent to the bottom of the sea to see the dragon king. However, Commander Chen said that he wanted to give his own Shield-class missile cruisers, Warrior-class missile destroyers, and Guardian-class missile frigates a chance to fight. You can't let your submarine forces all wrap up.

In the previous sea training, the seventh ship of the Royal Navy of Donghua was a target ship, and there was basically no challenge at all.

Now facing the British Royal Navy, which has the world's largest navy, in actual combat, whether the officers and men of the Seventh Fleet of the Donghua Royal Navy can perform normally in accordance with the usual training procedures still needs to be tested by tonight's actual combat.

But the problem is that the "Expeditionary 093" attack nuclear-powered submarine has not sunk a real enemy warship so far! The main task is to collect noise from various types of ships of the U.S. Navy's Pacific Fleet and the Japanese Navy's Combined Fleet, the Second Fleet, and the Third Fleet!

Everyone is training in actual combat, why does Commander Chen prefer surface ships and raise our submarine force as a stepmother!

You must know that Jiang Haibo only needs to enter the target parameters that have been approved long ago in this combat command room, and he can use torpedoes and missiles to attack sea targets within a range of 150 kilometers, or sea targets within a range of 50 kilometers. As long as you get close enough, a single torpedo salvo can take out a Yamato-class heavy aircraft carrier.

What made Jiang Haibo feel extremely depressed was that the "Expedition 093" actually had to act as a nanny for the strange "Commander" submarine, and ensure that the British's Poseidon-class submarine could successfully arrive at Diego Garcia Island and pick up people, and then leave safely to reach the destination it wanted to go.

Such a strange task, although Jiang Haibo is a little confused, but as a professional soldier, he should understand that obeying orders is the duty of a soldier.

Thinking of the sudden occupation of Diego Garcia Island this time, such a big military operation, there was no rumor or sign before, which made Jiang Haibo subconsciously think of Lianlian. Maybe the Pentagon has something bigger in the pipeline.

Since you want to be a bodyguard for the "Commander" submarine, then you can follow this Poseidon-class conventional-powered submarine in the British Royal Sea with peace of mind. Let's see what tricks this submarine is playing and who picked it up from Diego Garcia Island.

In order to cooperate with the "Expeditionary 093" in this ocean-going escort operation, Commander Chen also specially sent a 12-member team to the Navy SEALs. Jiang Haibo estimated that there might be some work to be done ashore next, otherwise, Commander Chen would never have brought these "seals" over.

After receiving the signal from the early warning plane, Jiang Haibo handed over the monitoring task to the E2 Hawkeye early warning aircraft in the night sky, as usual training, the "Expedition 093" took advantage of its excellent silent performance, spent more than two hours, quietly went around the "commander" behind the fart, after sailing at the same speed with the other party, Jiang Haibo ordered the sonar chief to turn on the digital tape recorder, and began to record the voice characteristics of the British Royal Navy's Poseidon-class submarine.

The Poseidon-class submarine is the current main submarine of the British Royal Navy. Although the voiceprint signatures collected were of little use to the Royal Navy, they were valuable high-level information for the German Navy.

……

The wee hours of the morning have passed, and the night is dark and windy.

In the bridge command room of the light cruiser "Newcastle", where radio silence and light control were implemented throughout the ship, Captain Phillips, the new brigadier admiral of the British Royal Navy, sat in the captain's command seat in a standard military sitting position, his eyes lowered, as if he was closing his eyes to recuperate.

After sailing 300 kilometers away from the Equatorial Strait, Phillips suddenly changed his command and ordered the ships to move freely, instead of forming an attack formation to fight hard with the Seventh Fleet of the Royal Navy.

Phillips demanded that all ships must give full play to the advantages of the Southampton-class and the Tribal class in terms of speed and firepower, and be like assassins in the dark, hitting and leaving. Don't fight and entangle with the Royal Navy of Donghua, don't seek to sink, only seek to damage, and the greatest purpose is to create chaos for the Royal Navy of Donghua.

Without exception, the telegram sent by the "Newcastle" was intercepted and deciphered by the Telecommunications Department of the Ministry of the Interior of the Imperial Palace on the Paradise Island, thousands of miles away.

However, Cheng Gong did not send the deciphered message to Chen Houfu, but adjusted the two military satellites in low-earth orbit and synchronous orbit, locked on the sea area of the Maldives and Diego Garcia Island, as if he was going to sit at home and watch the live broadcast of the actual naval battle of "Donghua Royal Navy VS British Royal Navy".

At a time when night reconnaissance planes and night fighters were still rare to the developed countries of Europe and the United States, Brigadier General Phillips was of course even more unlikely to understand what a "high" and magical existence of early warning planes was.

The guerrilla tactics of night warfare arranged by Captain Phillips can be effective for other missions and the naval fleet of a country. But for the Royal Navy of Donghua, it is no different from carrying a lantern to the toilet - looking for (death).

The five capital ships "Sheffield", "Avliti", "Cossacks", "Somalis", and "Newcastle" were locked by the target acquisition system of the E2 Eagle Eye early warning aircraft numbered "Nighthawk 051" at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and then transmitted to the "Baiqi" aircraft carrier combat command center through the data link, and then, without even Chen Houfu's share as a commander, was "Longdun 155", "Kaijiang 285", "Kaijiang 286", "Tutuotu 360" and "Tutuo 361" The five ships have been divided.

As for the poor "Lord" submarine, it was taken care of by the "Breaking Wave 468" and "Breaking Wave 467".

In order to take into account the fact that the ships of the Seventh Fleet of the Royal Navy of Donghua had targets to strike, Commander Chen Houfu had no choice but to issue an order for the attack aircraft formation to be put into the air for aerial surveillance and to make up for the attack aircraft as appropriate.

After receiving this order, the two-plane formation of carrier-based attack planes composed of the "Flying Leopard 309" and "Flying Leopard 310" could only be helplessly reduced to the role of playing soy sauce. It is hoped that after the missiles of your own warships hit the enemy ships, they will still have the opportunity to attack the sea at low altitudes to make up for the sword.
