…… Under the blue waves, the "Swordfish" that was stealthily sneaking was not affected by the wind and waves at all

In the command center, Hua Jianfeng's mood was even more uneasy than the monstrous waves on the sea

After shocking the U.S. submarine and assisting the brother boat in sinking three Japanese submarines, the "Swordfish" turned to approach the U.S. submarine, and then heard the fourth explosion Hua Jianfeng knew that a Republic submarine that had participated in the war had been sunk by a torpedo dropped by a Japanese anti-submarine patrol plane

In the next 2 hours, Hua Jianfeng had no time to mourn for his sacrificial comrades

The 2 "Virginia" class attack nuclear submarines, which were "greeted" by the "Swordfish", not only did not leave the area of engagement, but approached the Japanese Fourth Fleet

The intention of the US submarines is clear: to prevent the Republic submarines from sneaking up on the Fourth Fleet

Hua Jianfeng was not annoyed, although he had planned to attack the Fourth Fleet, but according to the orders received before the war, the main task of the "Swordfish" was to deal with Japanese submarines, not the Japanese fleet

While quietly approaching 2 "Virginia", "Swordfish" also approached the 4th Fleet

When naval aviation was "bombing and bombing" the Fourth Fleet, the "Swordfish" became a loyal listener of the "missile symphony." In that case, it was impossible not to listen to it!

While enjoying the beautiful "melody" composed of missile explosions, ship hull cracks, and keel breaks, the "Swordfish" not only recorded the entire "movement" faithfully, but also kept an eye on the other two listeners

Hua Jianfeng wanted to know how the captain of the 2 US military ships felt when the Japanese Fourth Fleet was completely annihilated

One thing is for sure: the 2nd Virginia-class attack nuclear submarine did the same thing as the Swordfish, that is, it recorded all the sound signals and sent them back to the intelligence services for analysis

Although as the saying goes, "seeing is believing, hearing is false", but in the submarine world, hearing is believing

By using information such as the ground noise emitted by missiles flying at low altitudes, the ground sounds made when ships are hit by missiles, and the ground intensity of various sounds, frequency explosions, and so on, we can obtain data such as the ground flight speed and mass of missiles, the power of warheads, and the number and density of missiles attacking the Fourth Fleet, and obtain important information such as the ground performance of the anti-ship missiles in service in the Republic and the ground intensity that can be achieved in a single attack

After the destruction of the Fourth Fleet, the 2nd American submarine quietly left the battlefield

Hua Jianfeng had to suspect that the mission of the US submarine was not to "save" the Fourth Fleet, but to collect intelligence

The "Swordfish" did not continue to track, and the US submarine had already missed a gluttonous feast, and Hua Jianfeng did not want to miss the next big meal

At this time, the "Swordfish" also lost its mission purpose

The Fourth Fleet is finished, Hua Jianfeng has not gone crazy enough to attack the lifeboats with torpedoes, and the five Japanese submarines are either finished or are not within the detection range of the "Swordfish", and in the vicinity of the "Swordfish", except for the officers and men of the Japanese fleet waiting for rescue, there are only seabirds in the air and fish and shrimp in the sea

Hua Jianfeng was even less interested in capturing prisoners, and the "Swordfish" had no place to accommodate prisoners of war

There are two choices in front of Hua Jianfeng: one is to return to the Diaoyu Islands to cover the East China Sea Fleet and the landing fleet that are about to arrive; The second is to advance in the direction of Naha Port and intercept the Second and Third Fleets, which may be heading south

Thinking that the Japanese submarine was almost wiped out, Hua Jianfeng chose the latter

The "Swordfish" was not in a hurry to "hurry" because at this time the "Swordfish" was already far away from the theater of operations, and it was 100 kilometers away from the Diaoyu Islands, and no matter whether the Japanese Second Fleet and the Third Fleet went to the East China Sea Fleet for a decisive battle or covered the landing force to attack the Diaoyu Islands, the closer it was to the Diaoyu Islands, the easier it would be to obtain the support of the East China Sea Fleet and the support of the antisubmarine patrol planes of the naval aviation

It was not until about 12 o'clock that the "Swordfish" received a telegram from the strategic channel and floated to periscope depth

After receiving the combat order from the military communications satellite, the "Swordfish" dived again and returned to the safety of the deep sea

At this time, Hua Jianfeng had a more detailed understanding of the battle situation

What he didn't expect was that the Japanese submarine actually attacked the East China Sea Fleet!

Although the anti-submarine helicopter discovered the Japanese submarine and torpedo in time, and the fleet reacted quickly after receiving the alarm, and did not let the Japanese submarine sneak attack, Hua Jianfeng was still shocked, in addition to the "Swordfish", what did the 20954093 participating in the war and more than a dozen AIP conventional submarines do?

The combat order did not mention the movements of other submarines, indicating that there was no contact with other submarines

Hua Jianfeng had to suspect that Du Xinghua and Liu Haifeng had the same idea

The tasks of the "Swordfish" were also not explicitly mentioned in the combat order, indicating that the "Swordfish" could move freely

Although the rope that bound the "Swordfish" had been loosened, Hua Jianfeng's mood was not relaxed at all

"Freedom of movement" does not mean unscrupulousness

After continuing to let the "Swordfish" move in the northeast direction, Hua Jianfeng called Le Jiacheng and several other major officers to the officers' cafeteria to discuss the next move

Without exception, all officers agreed that it was too risky for the Swordfish to ambush the Second and Third Fleets alone

The Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force is not an Indian navy, but not only has a strong anti-submarine capability, but also has one of the world's largest anti-submarine patrol aircraft fleets

The main task of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force during the Cold War

Assist the U.S. Navy in dealing with Soviet submarines

In order to accomplish its "mission," Japan has not only built four "88 fleets" and laid submarine sonar arrays in the Soya, Tsugaru, and Tsushima Straits, but has also purchased more than 100 antisubmarine patrol planes and held several joint antisubmarine exercises with the United States every year

Although after the end of the Cold War, the threat from the north was greatly weakened, and Japan's Maritime Self-Defense Force began to turn around, taking anti-missile defense and protecting sea routes as its primary task, and making every effort to build a "90 th Fleet" with anti-missile capability and regional air defense capability as the mainstay, the anti-submarine combat capability of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force has not weakened, but has been greatly improved with the successive commissioning of helicopter destroyers with the characteristics of light aircraft carriers, such as the "Osumi" and "Hyuga" classes

Together with the hundreds of P-1 developed by Japan, the P-8 purchased from the United States, and the comprehensively improved P-3 antisubmarine patrol aircraft, the anti-submarine warfare capability of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force ranks second in the world, second only to the US Navy, which has carrier-based fixed-wing anti-submarine patrol planes and attack nuclear submarines

Being able to take out a Japanese submarine acting alone is not the same as being able to take out a well-protected Japanese fleet

No matter how arrogant and arrogant the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force is, it will strengthen the protection of the surface fleet after losing all submarines one after another

The "Swordfish" is not a monkey that cannot be killed, and Hua Jianfeng has to consider advancing and retreating

After consulting with the officers, Hua Jianfeng, as always, decided to ambush the Second and Third Fleets, and his reason was simple: the "Swordfish" did not act alone

According to Hua Jianfeng's analysis, Japanese submarines were able to sneak attack the East China Sea Fleet, indicating that the 20954 093 ships accompanied the East China Sea Fleet's actions and the Fourth Fleet was not ambushed by submarines, indicating that the 4093 did not aim at the Fourth Fleet, and it was likely to leave the battlefield ahead of schedule and go to the sea area where the Second Fleet and the Third Fleet were ambushed

As for the movements of 2095, Hua Jianfeng is also very headed;

The performance of the most advanced attack nuclear submarine of the Republic Navy is not much worse than that of the "Virginia" class, the noise level is only slightly higher than that of the "Swordfish", the performance of speed and depth exceeds that of the "Swordfish", and the armament is the "Swordfish"3, which can attack sea surface targets at the same time with 12 anti-ship missiles and 6 heavy torpedoes If they are also like the "Swordfish", they are ready to ambush the Fourth Fleet, but it turns out that there are US submarines nearby and do not move, and wait until the Fourth Fleet is completely annihilated, They must have turned to intercept the Second and Third Fleets

This is just Hua Jianfeng's speculation, whether this is the case or not, he can't be sure

In the submarine force of the Republic Navy, only the captains of 2095, Du Xinghua and Liu Haifeng, can compete with Hua Jianfeng in terms of personal ability, command art and courage

Hua Jianfeng knows these two "opponents" too well

If it weren't for a little luck, willing to obey the order to leave the attack nuclear submarine, I'm afraid that it is not Hua Jianfeng who is now commanding the "Swordfish", but Du Xinghua, or Liu Haifeng's u= "Swordfish" almost capsized in the gutter Finally, Hua Jianfeng still relied on luck to defeat Du Xinghua and keep the crown of "Navy's No. 1 Submarine Captain".

Thinking of Du Xinghua's possible actions, Hua Jianfeng had a headache

In order to surpass Hua Jianfeng, Du Xinghua dares to do anything!

Liu Haifeng is no exception, this "ace captain" who has no results will definitely give it a go in order to break the "zero record".

Perhaps, this is the fundamental reason why Hua Jianfeng decided to ambush the Second and Third Fleets, Du Xinghua is not only his "competitor", but also his classmate and friend, or his most admired comrade-in-arms, Liu Haifeng is Hua Jianfeng's first partner, and the two served together on the same submarine.3

The decision has been made, and Hua Jianfeng will never go back

After several hours of waiting, at 6:30 a.m., the "Swordfish" intercepted for the first time the fleet noise coming from the direction of 65 at a distance of 15 degrees and 120 meters north-east of Chiweiyu

About 1 hour later, the passive sonar of the "Swordfish" measured the distance of the surface fleet

65 km, outside the maximum range of torpedoes!

After giving the order to increase the speed to 12 knots and continue to approach the Japanese fleet, Hua Jianfeng asked the sonar chief to display the information intercepted by the passive sonar on the tactical screen, and then looked at the screen intently

Where are Du Xinghua and Liu Haifeng hiding?

The anti-submarine net of the Japanese fleet was very tight, in addition to more than a dozen helicopters, at least 12 anti-submarine patrol aircraft were hovering around the fleet, 2 of which were approaching the "Swordfish".

Hua Jianfeng did not give the order to slow down in order to reduce the noise

When conducting a wide-area search, the detection capabilities of the anti-submarine patrol aircraft were not strong, and the threat to the "Swordfish" was not very great

What Hua Jianfeng was most worried about was that Du Xinghua and Liu Haifeng would attack the Japanese fleet before the "Swordfish" arrived

He was not worried that the "opponent" would steal the results, but that his comrades-in-arms would be surrounded and annihilated by the Japanese anti-submarine forces!

This battle is not easy to fight!

Damn it*

The second phase of combat operations is about to begin, and the super submarine is once again powerful, brothers, take the monthly ticket and cheer up, and kill the little devils! (To be continued)
