At this time, Pakistan has a strong style, just like Maozi at the beginning, if someone infringes on the interests of Pakistan, then Pakistan's army is the most powerful Great Wall of steel!

In this way, the first head-to-head confrontation between Pakistan and the United States began, and the Americans lost two F-16 fighters, while the Pakistani side was unscathed.

In the face of Pakistan's provocations, the United States was outraged.

Revenge, must revenge!

On land, continue to support the Taliban in their fights, and at sea, the United States has an even greater advantage!

Indian Ocean, Chagos Archipelago.

The archipelago is a small dot on the map, but it is actually quite a large group of islands, first discovered by Vasco da Gama, occupied by France as part of Mauritius in the early 18th century, occupied by the British in 1810, ceded to Britain in 1814 by the Peace of Vienna, and until 1967, when the British signed a treaty with the United States to build an air and naval base on the archipelago of Diego Garcia.

The archipelago is located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, halfway between the southern Maldives, the east coast of Africa and Indonesia, about 6 degrees south latitude and 71 degrees 30 minutes east longitude. The southernmost part of the archipelago is home to the largest island, Diego Garcia. After the U.S. military established a base here, it mainly served as a relay supply depot for the naval fleet. The newly established military airfield with complete specifications can take off and land super-large strategic bombers such as B-52. Therefore, in the Middle East war that the United States is now waging, the island of Diego Garcia is also an important base for the United States, where the US military has stockpiled a large amount of war materials. B-52 large bombers take off and land from here to bomb the Middle East, which can prevent ballistic missile attacks from the opposing side. And the aircraft carriers of the US military. Docks and trimmings are also carried out here.

At this time, in an area of more than 200 nautical miles to the north of the island, an Aegis destroyer, the Stout, was heading for Diego Garcia Island, a warship returning from a mission in the Persian Gulf, wanting to go to the archipelago for a month's rest. Then go back to the front.

The waves are magnificent, and in tropical waters, bad weather is common, but it is all too rare to see waves less than a meter high like this.

The warship rode the wind and waves, sailing ahead, and suddenly, the lookout post shouted: "Report." Discover that there is a situation on the sea! ”

Almost at the same time, on the opposite side of the sea, a submarine in a submersible state, the lookout in the bathtub, also spotted the warship opposite, and suddenly, the lookout shouted: "American warship! Ten nautical miles! Thirty degrees on the port side! ”

"Quick, dive urgently!" Captain Thors shouted.

This is a large conventional submarine of the Supporter class. With a displacement of more than two thousand tons, after carrying out the mission to the island of Diego Garcia for reconnaissance. Return to Pakistan naval base.

When they were scouting on Diego Garcia Island, they had always been in a state of submersion, and now, they had been two hundred nautical miles away from Diego Garcia Island, and the sea area was absolutely safe, and the submariners who had been holding it underwater for more than a week. Finally, you can surface and get a fresh air.

When they surfaced, they had already used sonar to determine in advance that there were no surface ships around, and then they surfaced, and the warship on the opposite side. It came very suddenly.

After the lookout finished shouting, the submariners who were letting off the wind on the bathtub entered the submarine one by one, and finally the lookout post came down and closed the hatch cover on the top tightly.

"The hatch is closed." The lookout shouted.

"Dive!"

With the captain's order, the water tank in front of the submarine began to be filled with a large amount of seawater, and the front end sank, and the submariners who had no task also ran to the front compartment to increase the speed of diving, and the submarine almost entered the sea water at a diving angle of 30 degrees.

As an underwater ghost, the submarine can only exert its greatest power underwater, but even so, once entangled with surface ships, the disadvantage of the submarine is also very great, think at the beginning, Germany launched the Sea Wolf tactics, constantly destroying the Allied water transport lines in the Atlantic, but the United States used a large number of escort ships, in a short period of time to disintegrate the German submarine warfare, countless submariners forever sunk to the bottom of the sea.

The Supporter class got into the seawater, and at a hundred meters of water, the submarine leveled.

"Two cars, one forward, three low-speed silent navigation, first-level combat readiness, start passive sonar." As a good submarine commander, Tors calmly gave one order after another.

Now, I just hope that the other person can't find out and go back to their respective homes.

Although there is a risk for a submarine to sail on the water, the risk is quite small, you know, on the vast sea, the target of a submarine is quite small, not to mention the submarine, even the aircraft carrier formation, in the vast sea, it is difficult to be detected by the opponent, unless it is the use of early warning aircraft. However, this time it was really bad luck that I actually met one of the surface ships of the Americans in a narrow way.

"They've got helicopters!" The sonar's report startled Thors.

Americans are excited.

Ten days ago, a fighter plane of the Pakistan Air Force shot down two American planes, and the Americans were holding back a nameless anger in their hearts, and now, they have actually discovered a Pakistani submarine!

Although the two countries have not officially declared war, they are just frictions with each other, and now, since the Pakistani submarine has been discovered, it is necessary for the other party to look good!

Adams, the captain of the Stott, immediately ordered a Sea Hawk helicopter to take off.

Although the Aegis battleship is specifically responsible for air defense, it is still equipped with bow sonar and towed body sonar, and it is also equipped with anti-submarine helicopters, and the anti-submarine level is also first-class.

The Sea Hawk carrier-based helicopter took off and flew towards the sea area where the Pakistani submarine had just been discovered.

If you want to detect the position of the submarine, you need to use sonar, underwater, sound is the best carrier, however, there is only one sonar, the effect is not good, so, in practice, there will be a variety of devices, such as the ship's towed body sonar, the sonar is dragged to a few kilometers behind the warship, through two directions to observe, it is easier to find the target, and the sonar buoy is multi-directional, throwing sonar buoys around the opponent's submarine, through multiple points to determine the direction, very accurate.

Adams is waiting for the echo of the Sea Hawk helicopter, and as long as those sonar buoys spot the opposing submarine, they will be able to calculate the bearing, and when the time comes, they can scare the damned Pakistanis! Over the years, the Pakistanis have behaved like a traitor.

Time passed little by little, ten minutes, twenty minutes, an hour, two hours, and the anti-submarine helicopter never found anything.

The second helicopter had already taken off, and the first sortie had been replaced, and Adams wondered in his mind, what was going on, could it be that the submarine had slipped away?

No way! Your own helicopter dispatch is very fast, you know, underwater submarines, the fastest is only 30 knots, and helicopters can easily fly at a speed of 200 knots, helicopters anti-submarine, maneuverability has a great advantage.

Moreover, our own sonar technology is also quite advanced, and now we can't find the opponent's submarine, so there is only one possibility!

The cunning Pakistanis, who must have turned off the motors under water, did not rotate the propellers, took advantage of the ocean currents and drifted slowly under water! It's slow, but it's not detected by the water.

As for the underwater current, who knows in which direction! As long as the time is long enough, the other party can get out of their search range and don't know where to go.

"We have informed the base on the island of Diego Garcia that the P-3C anti-submarine aircraft will fly over in half an hour." The co-captain said to Adams.

There's still half an hour, no, with this half an hour, maybe the other party will slip away!

The Pakistanis must not be allowed to slip away, they must be taught a lesson that will never be forgotten! Thinking of this, Adams gritted his teeth and said, "Order the Seahawk helicopter to drop MK-64 depth charges to a depth of one hundred!" ”

The other party wants to slip away, and he must not let the other party succeed! They have to be blown out!

Depth charges are a method used by the United States in World War II to deal with the underwater wolf pack tactics of the Germans, exploding at a fixed depth underwater, causing sea water to smash and hit the shell of the submarine to sink the opponent.

Even if the distance is too far away to cause damage to the pressure hull of the submarine, the sound of the explosion of depth charges can create fear in people's hearts. Therefore, although torpedoes have replaced depth charges as the main equipment of the West, the United States still equips Sea Hawk helicopters with depth charges, which can force underwater submarines to surface.

According to international practice, as long as the submarine surfaces, it is considered a surrender, and the surface ship will not harm the submarine in the floating state.

Adams's tactic is to make the opponent's submarine float! Even submarines that sit on the bottom of the sea are afraid of depth charges.

"Puff, puff." The Sea Hawk helicopter flew to a height of several meters above the sea, and then several MK-64 depth charges were dropped from the plane.

Entering the water, the depth charge continued to fall, and the fuse inside began to calculate the depth continuously.

"Poof." This soft sound, in the ears of the sonarist, was so piercing.

"It's loud, it's not a sonar buoy, judging by a depth charge!" The sonar officer reported.

Depth charges! Tors said, "Attention, hold on to your surroundings!" (To be continued.) )
