Chapter 612: Aircraft Anti-Submarine
readx; Today we have officially begun our first battle in the Atlantic, which for us is undoubtedly a tourist in which we cannot find a country that we can call adversary. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The most powerful navy in the world, and the so-called number one, suffered a crushing defeat in front of us, and it was a complete defeat.
Earlier in the Mediterranean, our radar detected an unknown fleet, which turned out to be a supply ship escorted by the British Navy, and it took only ten minutes for our air force to deal with them.
After yesterday's Luftwaffe attack, the British honestly transferred more air force to the east of England, and their air force was weakened a lot.
In total, we have dispatched about three hundred aircraft to-day, destroyed about forty or so British naval combat vessels of various types, and completely destroyed two naval bases, as well as heavily damaged one.
There is no doubt that our appearance surprised the British, and at the same time made the Germans feel a little incredible, and when they learned the news from the British, it seemed that they should have been able to react and return, because the weapon we made them feel incredible was the original Chinese sword.
They only thought that this weapon could be used on land, and probably did not think that it could also be used against warships, and the targets of warships are larger than those on the ground, so the hit rate is higher. ’
Senior Private Yan Chen wrote in his battle diary that he did not know when he would die or whether his battleship would be blown up.
So he developed the habit of writing a diary every day, and when a diary was full, if he returned to the base, he would lock the diary in the safe in his base, and if he didn't return to the base. Just wrap it tightly with a few pieces of plastic sheeting and put it in a place where it won't destroy it as much as possible.
So that even if he sinks in the sea, one day. There will also be a moment in this diary when he will see the light of day again, and he will tell everyone about the glory of the Chinese Empire. Not from the perspective of the country, but from his personal point of view, let more people know how they felt like ordinary soldiers back then.
"There are submarines about ten nautical miles to the north."
Suddenly, the sonar crew on a destroyer hurriedly took off his headphones and shouted loudly.
Immediately afterward, an officer ran over with a nervous face. grabbed the earphones and put them on his ears, and after ten seconds, his face was even more wrinkled, and he shouted loudly: "Sound the battle alarm." Report the situation to the commander. ”
The officers in the sonar room are not ordinary people, and through years of training, they can identify whether there are enemy submarines or warships around them in a short time, so ten seconds is enough time for him to confirm.
Because now they are strong in their own right. Therefore, the active sonar on the destroyer has not been turned off, and it is normal to have a farther detection distance, but I am afraid that the submarine on the opposite side would have discovered them a long time ago, otherwise it would not have dived so quickly.
"Submarines?"
Wang Lin was stunned for a moment, and after coming to the Atlantic. Or rather, after going abroad, this was the first time he had heard of the existence of submarines, and they were all around them.
It's not that Wang Lin is careless, but he didn't expect that there would be a submarine at this time? Although submarines are the killers of the navy, it also depends on when and what kind of defense methods they take.
If the defense is correct, the submarine has only one chance to fire a torpedo, and if it hits, it means that it is highly skilled, and if it can't hit, it can only be said that their luck is too bad.
If there are no accidents, when the submarine attack is over, that is, when he is sunk, unless the air force is not on the right track, they will not be given a second chance.
Modern submarines don't have the word submarine-launched, they don't even know the word submarine-launched, so if a submarine wants to launch a torpedo, it must surface, and this, if it is slow, will not cause much reaction around the seawater, and if it moves fast, the splash next to it will be larger.
In addition, the movement of a submarine is relatively large when diving, and this will definitely leak their own target, that is to say, it is an impossible task for a submarine to complete within a minute from the beginning of the dive to the reflection of the torpedo, and then to the dive to a certain depth.
Although the attack power of modern submarines is very strong, the resistance is not very good, and submarines are not designed with camouflage, that is, oil, shabby clothes, and other daily items that are easy to float in special parts.
Later generations of submarines had these designs, once the depth charge exploded within a few meters of the submarine, the submarine would automatically release the oil in order to confuse the enemy, pretend that the submarine had been hit, make them give up the attack, let the submarine survive, or sneak attack the opponent.
Therefore, when modern submarines attack, that is, when they are the weakest, as long as the luck is not too bad, they are basically one hit at a time.
"Let the anti-submarine team take off and prepare, once that guy leaks his head, sink me immediately, and the other troops will search for the location of the submarine with all their might, lock on to him as quickly as possible, and the destroyers will also go up to two and blow him up with depth charges."
Wang Lin reacted subconsciously.
In this era, people's thinking is very simple, if they encounter a submarine, they have no choice, so they can only send destroyers to solve submarines with depth charges, so the hit rate of submarine attacks is relatively low, basically all depends on luck.
This is not the case on the side of the Chinese Empire, because of Su Dao, he knows what kind of target to hit and what kind of way is the most efficient and appropriate.
Therefore, no matter how the HNA reforms and how the fighters are replaced, each aircraft carrier is always equipped with an anti-submarine team of 10 people, that is, 10 fighters, and their fighters are all the same, but they focus on anti-submarine training, and usually perform other tasks.
Using airplanes to hit submarines is the absolute first in the world, and no one will know that airplanes can do more things.
The British Navy did spot them, but they also knew that their attack would definitely not have much effect, so they decided to lurk here, and then find a target worthy of their life, and then fight hard.
It has to be said that their method is correct, because with the engine turned off the submarine, the sonar is very difficult to detect, because the submarine floating in the water, like a reef, the sonar simply cannot be determined.
For a while, the difficulty of the search began to gradually increase, and neither side dared to make a wanton dispatch at the moment, and the two destroyers kept cruising in the sea area where the submarine might exist.
And the ten anti-submarine planes are also constantly soaring at an altitude of about 300 meters in the air, the speed is not fast, anyway, it is against submarines, if the speed is too fast, it will have no effect.
"Commander, the opponent has not taken the bait, it has been more than an hour, and if it goes on like this, I am afraid it will be unfavorable to us."
"Hehe, the British are quite interesting, since they want to play, then play with them, order the mountains and rivers to drive over, let the boys in the air widen their eyes, but you can't give the British devils a chance to attack."
Wang Lin smiled, they were also navy, how could he not understand the other party's intentions?
Anyway, being idle is idle, and it's nothing to play with each other, anyway, in this world, except for Germany and the Chinese Empire, there are no submarines from any country that can have real-time contact with the land, so he is not afraid of his location leaking.
And for this submarine, he is also determined to kill him, once he is allowed to escape alive, won't it reveal his weaknesses? When the time comes, both the British and the Americans will send submarines to sneak attack, so what kind of fart are you playing?
Whether it is a business or a private matter, Wang Lin must kill him, otherwise it will be too detrimental to the fleet's next mission.
It seems that in the future, reconnaissance planes will still be released during the day, otherwise they will not know that a submarine will come from time to time, and if they are not discovered in advance, they may not be able to be killed by this submarine.
With the addition of battleships, British submarines began to be calm, and under the influence of the battleship's huge guns and destroyer depth charges, British submarines finally began to slowly surface the sea.
Because the submarine technology in this world is not developed, although the German navy is not good, their submarine technology is the most powerful, and the British are only powerful in the sea surface strength.
Five of the ten anti-submarine planes were concentrated in this area, and when the British submarine was floating, it was necessary to discharge the water in the cabin and inject air into the cabin, so that the weight of the submarine could be reduced, so as to achieve the purpose of diving.
"Captain, I've locked on to my target, who's going to follow me?"
Soon, the sea below began to change abnormally, and the shadow of a submarine began to gradually surface, it should be noted that the submarine does not need to leak out completely, they only need to release the periscope.
The target is determined by the periscope, then locked, launched. This process is not easy to see on the surface of the sea, because the entire body of the submarine is still underwater.
But in the air, it is easier to see, because the area where the submarine is located will show a black shadow of a submarine.
The anti-submarine attack submarine of the HNA is generally a two-plane attack, and it is afraid that the first anti-submarine bomb will not hit, and the second fighter can quickly make up for it, so as not to give the target time to escape. Even if the first fighter hits, the second fighter will be replenished with a bomb.
"I'm behind you, ready to attack at any moment."
Soon, an echo was heard from a close pilot, who followed behind the plane.
'Boom! Rumble! ’
Two explosions struck, and a submarine was sunk, and the sea was covered with black oil, clothes, and other items.
