Chapter 888: Crazy Ivan
readx;
"Release the communication buoys and inform the Hedon and Gigar that they will immediately send helicopters to search our current area of the seventh sea, where there are two nuclear submarines of unknown nationality. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info{{}}" Mustafa said: "Send a message to another of our submarines with underwater acoustic communication equipment and let him intercept them in the sea area of the eighth." ”
"Then we'll not be discovered by the submarine in front of us." Said the co-captain.
"It's better to find out, if they can slow down, we can catch up." Mustafa said.
Although the opponent is two nuclear submarines, Mustafa is not afraid at all, but if he can't catch up with the other party, he has nothing to do, the warships on the sea have carrier-based helicopters and can quickly get here, while the other submarine, which is in front of them running away, can occupy a favorable position in front.
Mustafa's feet are just a conventional submarine, this is like a small QQ, although it is a new version of the makeover, no matter how much you run, you can't outrun BMW.
As soon as the message was sent, the sonar man heard a strange sound, he listened carefully to the complicated sound situation inside, and suddenly figured out what was happening in front of him, and he immediately reported: "Captain, there is danger ahead, we have to reverse at full speed!" ”
The 18,000-ton submarine under Yezhov's feet was sailing at a speed of more than thirty knots under water, and Yezhov's feeling was getting stronger and stronger, and behind him, there must be a Los Angeles-class submarine!
"Right full rudder. {{}}" Yezhov gave the order. The full speed sailing just now is for the current steering! The faster it is. The more efficient the rudder surface will be, the sooner it will be able to complete the steering action. The more defenseless the American submarines behind them are, so that they show their original form on their own sides.
Here is the widest point of the Persian Gulf. It is more than 100 kilometers wide, the two sides of the strait are still far away, and the water depth is also more than 100 meters, so they do not have to worry about hitting the bottom.
With Yezhov's order, the huge submarine began to turn, and by this time the speed was already at its maximum. When turning, even the hull of the boat was a little rolled, and while all the personnel were holding on tightly, the sonar was still holding on to his post. {.If you were followed by the Americans' submarines, you would have appeared on your side by now.}
This kind of action, for all Soviet submarines, is very familiar, this is a tactic that the Soviets are good at, but it is the most frightening of the Americans, this action, they called, crazy Ivan!
In the sonar's headphones. {{}} was the sound of the water flowing, and the occasional bubble, it was some large fish spitting bubbles, and suddenly, he heard a familiar sound, it was the sound of a Los Angeles-class submarine sailing at full speed!
"Report, found a Los Angeles-class, fifty degrees to starboard, three nautical miles away. Driving at full speed. Sure enough, after turning, they heard the familiar voice, and the sonar immediately reported that there was a kind of uneasiness in the voice, three nautical miles, which was a very short distance.
When the sonar of the Los Angeles-class submarine heard the sound of the water caused by the rotation of the rudder surface of the other party through the sonar at the bow of the boat, he immediately reported it to the captain.
I knew that the other party was going to come to this hand! Take advantage of the present, turn early and synchronize with each other! Johnson immediately ordered the left full rudder.
When the rudder surface rotates, it will cause the water to strike out from the side and turn around, which is the same as the rudder of an airplane, and the sonar behind can hear the difference between the change in the current, but they can't hear whether it is deflecting to the left or right, so they don't know the other party's turn.
It's just that Johnson has concluded that the other party is used to the left full rudder, so he followed the left full rudder. {{}}
However, two seconds later, the sonar man was surprised to hear that the other party was on the right full rudder!
Originally, the Baton Ruri was in the right rear of the Soviet submarine, but now, the opponent is full of rudder on the right and full rudder on the left, just exposing his body to the side of the other side.
"The submarine in front is full of rudders, and we have been discovered!" The sonar soldier said.
"What? Right full rudder? Johnson was also taken aback: "The right full rudder." ”
At this time, Johnson made a mistake and miscalculated the opponent's movements, and the opponent, who had always liked the left full rudder, unexpectedly came to the right full rudder, and this time, he immediately discovered the Los Angeles-class submarine behind.
At this time, the distance between the two sides is already very close.
Johnson then ordered the right rudder to be full, causing the hull to shake violently immediately, and then the sonar soldiers were surprised to find that they were very close to each other!
Cāo is very complicated to be a submarine of several thousand tons or even tens of thousands of tons, or rather, what happens to such a behemoth is in slow motion, and in the process of making these actions underwater, the distance between the two sides has become closer and closer. {{}}
K-132 has been on the right full rudder, the hull is rotating, turning nearly 180 degrees, at this time, the Los Angeles-class submarine, first left full rudder, and then right full rudder, just after completing the maneuver to the original direction, right to right deviation ten degrees, and the distance between the two sides, has been close to two nautical miles!
Due to the loss of kinetic energy in the process of turning, the speed of the two submarines has now dropped to twenty knots, and they are two nautical miles away from each other, almost opposite each other, then, if no measures are taken, after three minutes, they will collide.
Three minutes! The time left for them is very short.
After the sonar soldier reported the exact position of the opponent's submarine, Johnson suddenly felt that he should not follow the right full rudder just now, but should continue to the left full rudder, so that the two sides could still open a certain distance, and now, it is very dangerous.
"Has the other party's speed decreased?" Johnson asked. {{}}
Now, the distance between the two sides is approaching rapidly, but Johnson doesn't want to slow down, because, after his speed has slowed down, it will be more difficult to occupy various actions such as occupying the place, and now, since the other party has discovered himself, then, an underwater grappling is inevitable, at this time, the fast has an advantage.
"The other side is increasing the speed." The sonar soldier reported.
Increase speed? Johnson realized that something was wrong, did the Soviets go crazy?
The Soviets have always been so crazy underwater!
When he found out that there was indeed a Los Angeles-class submarine behind him, Yezhov immediately ordered the submarine nuclear reactor to run at full power and accelerate!
For the captain's order, the crew must absolutely obey unconditionally, the deputy captain is just a little worried to analyze the sonar report, the distance between the two sides is very close, this way of operating at full power, there will be a possibility of collision accidents.
More than ten years ago, a submarine of their brother unit once collided with an American submarine, and that time it was the brother submarine force that suffered a loss, but the submarine at that time was still relatively primitive, unlike now, the 18 million ton submarine under their feet, when it was built, the designer once said that even if it collided with the American submarine, it would be absolutely unharmed!
Because, outside the pressure-resistant shell of Oscar Level 2, there is also a four-meter-thick structure surrounded by a non-pressure-resistant shell!
Of course, Yezhov didn't want to collide, he did so to force the Los Angeles class to turn, and then he could give the Americans a taste of being beaten by active sonar on the outside of the pressure-resistant shell. Under water, it's the world of Soviet submariners!
"Reversing at full speed, the rudder of the enclosure is fully open, and the emergency ascent." Johnson said.
Now, he has no other choice, the Soviets are crazy, he can't follow the madness, however, he didn't choose to turn, because turning now will allow the other party to get the most advantageous position, so he chose to rise, now, the two sides are at the same depth, as long as he rises twenty meters high, he can avoid the danger of colliding with the other side.
After receiving his order, the propeller at the tail of the Baton Ru RI reversed and began to reverse at full speed, because the propeller was designed to prepare for forward rotation, and it was specially optimized, and the reversal was only an extremely special case, so the noise is now even more intense.
"The other party is reversing at full speed." The sonar soldier shouted, "There is still a nautical mile between us." ”
It's close, and in a few minutes, the two sides will pass by.
"Reversing at full speed, horizontal rudder five degrees, ready to ascend." Yezhov said. Such a close distance is very dangerous, so Yezhov also knows that there is a danger of collision, and now that the other party has given in first, it is time for him to take measures, but he doesn't know that if he just reverses, he can pass by, but now that he is also rising, it is self-defeating, because the other party is also rising!
Yezhov commanded calmly, and it was time to turn again and at the same time occupy a favorable position.
Underwater, now eighty meters deep, almost dark, two huge underwater steel giants, are making their own skillful movements, K-132 and Baton RRI in order to avoid collision, both chose to rise while slowing down, Baton RRI ascended first, but K-132 used the first horizontal rudder, which was higher than the hull rudder of Baton RRI, so the moment was greater, but the elevation angle of K-132 was greater.
If someone were to observe from outside the ship now, they would definitely be able to see that the K-132 had risen to almost fifteen degrees in the bow and was getting closer and closer to the belly of the Baton Ruri, and then, as the bow passed, the hull of the command station had a violent kiss with the belly of the Baton Ru Ri.
The submariners on both sides felt the hull tremble violently, oops, there was a collision underwater that no one wanted to see!
The violent collision caused the K-132's head to drop sharply, and Yezhov immediately ordered to balance the hull and check the bow for damage.
And the submariners on the Baton Ruri submarine were all white-faced, and they seemed to hear the sound of the shell cracking just now!
The sound of this impact was recorded by the TR-1700 submarine, which had stopped underwater at this time to avoid this underwater traffic accident, and Mustafa frowned, he knew that something unexpected had happened!
