"Boom!" A depth charge exploded a few hundred meters away, such an explosion would not cause any damage to the submarine, but the sound coming through the sea water was deafening, and people could not help but feel frightened.

However, these brave submariners of Pakistan will bravely overcome their fears! The captain of the boat, Tors, is a veteran submariner who participated in the Third Indo-Pakistani War, and he is even more calm about the attack of this kind of depth charge.

"At least 100 meters away from us, this kind of depth charge will only be effective when it comes to covering fire." Toors said.

In World War II, the biggest threat to surface ships was submarines, so to deal with submarines, escort warships, will unceremoniously release a large number of depth charges down, forming a saturation attack, just like the mine positions on the ground, so that as long as the submarine in this area, will be sunk, the captain of the skilled and experienced escort ship, anti-submarine operations are quite skilled.

With the passage of time, the progress of technology, more and more advanced torpedoes, and finally, depth charges are on the verge of elimination in the Western world, while China and the Soviet Union have always been equipped with this kind of weapon, and depth charges are the most effective way to deal with sinking submarines.

The number of depth charges dropped by the other side this time is too small to put the supporter-class submarine under any threat.

However, come and not be rude!

When attacked by the opponent's depth charge, Thors bit his lip with his teeth, although the opponent's purpose is to make his own side float, it is only a means of threat, but it is still possible to let a depth charge blow up his side by mistake, and the worst possibility is to let his own side die in this seabed.

Now the two sides have not declared war. But the U.S. Navy actually used the real guy like this! Therefore, Pakistan will never let the other side bully!

"Sonar room, report the target location." Toors said.

"Twenty kilometers away, azimuth 027, approaching." The sonar soldier said.

While the carrier-based helicopter was searching, the surface ship did not stay. is also following the search, and the direction of the other party's search is exactly towards this submarine.

"Bang, bang." A characteristic sound was heard in the sonar's ears, and he continued to report: "The other party is using active sonar to detect us!" ”

Active sonar! Americans are so bold!

There are two modes of sonar, the passive mode is commonly used, and it is simply to listen to the various sounds made by the submarine underwater. The main thing is the propeller and the sound of navigation to determine the orientation of the underwater target, and the other is the initiative, which is to determine the position of the target by emitting high-frequency sound and reflecting back.

Active sonar is more like a radar mode, so although it is highly efficient. But it's easy to expose yourself, just like turning on a flashlight in the dark. In general, this is done only when the orientation of the target submarine has already been determined, and the torpedo is ready to be launched.

And after various advanced torpedoes have made it easier to bind the launch data, the active sonar is almost at rest.

But now, the Americans are actually using active sonar to detect. Nothing short of audacity and arrogance!

"Torpedo compartment, prepare a C801." Toors said.

As the order was passed to the torpedo compartment, the sailors in front sprang into action and loaded a C801 submarine-launched anti-ship missile into a torpedo tube through an automated hoisting system.

Pakistan has long domesticated this anti-ship missile. Moreover, a newer version of the supersonic anti-ship missile was developed, but the volume was much larger, so only this ordinary C801 anti-ship missile was converted into a submarine-launched model, equipped on submarines, and used to strike at the enemy's surface ships.

Although the submarine has a variety of advanced detection means, and the supporter-class submarine has a sonar array on the side, it is still a little difficult to meet the requirements of providing launch data for anti-ship missiles.

Since he is looking for death, of course Tors doesn't mind giving the other party a ride, especially now, the other party is bent on his own life.

The binding of the launch data, the missile self-test, step by step was quickly completed, and then the operator sent a signal that it could be transmitted.

"Launch!" Tors shouted.

"Bang." With the opening of the torpedo tube in front, seawater was injected into the inside of the torpedo tube, and at the same time, under the impetus of high-pressure air, the body of the C801 missile, coming out of the torpedo tube, quickly floated on the ground under the action of buoyancy.

Just as it was approaching the surface of the sea, a thick smoke came out of the tail, pushing the sea water to churn and boost the engine ignition!

On the surface of the sea, the waves are magnificent, and the anti-ship missiles drilled out of the tongue of fire from under the water are like dragons out of the water!

Rising from the sea and flying to a height of several tens of meters, the radar in front of the missile began to scan the sea surface, and it took almost only a second to lock on to the Aegis battleship within the 30-degree range in front of it, which was only 10 kilometers away!

Just now, in the process of missile launch, this Aegis battleship was still driving over without knowing the danger, and the distance between the two sides was shortened to only ten kilometers!

The C801 missile threw off the booster and continued to accelerate, and at the same time, the serpentine maneuver that was about to enter the final stage was launched.

The Aegis warship, originally designed to deal with the threat of anti-ship missiles in the air, achieved the purpose of shooting down multiple enemy anti-ship missiles at the same time through vertically launched anti-aircraft missiles and phased array radar systems.

However, the Aegis system is quite power-intensive, and when the threat is low, there is no need to start it at all, so when the anti-submarine search was just carried out, the Aegis system did not start at all, only one AN / SPS-67 search radar was working, and when it turned around, it was discovered that this anti-ship missile flew on the sea!

At this time, the other party is only five kilometers away from you!

Sharp air defense sirens echoed throughout the Aegis battleship Stout, and Adams was almost stunned when he received the news from the integrated command system.

What's going on?

Originally, passive sonar could hear the sound of submarine-launched missiles launched by submarines under water, and the sound of seawater pouring into the launch tube was very loud, but as soon as it coincided with the signal of the warship's active sonar, it was covered by the snapping active sonar signal.

Only now, at a distance of five kilometers, did they find each other!

At this distance, the Aegis system is no longer functional!

In order to deal with saturation attacks, the Aegis system uses a vertical launch, and after the standard missile is launched, it needs to climb for a while, and then dive down, which is not as fast as the inclined arm launcher to deal with the anti-ship missiles that are close to it. And, now the main thing is that the Aegis system has not yet been activated! There are these few seconds to start, aim, launch time, and deal with it already smashed up!

"Quick, Phalanx!" Adams shouted loudly, now he knows that he has to pay for his light enemy, the P3-C anti-submarine aircraft will arrive in two minutes, in order not to let the other side run away, he rashly used active sonar, as a result, unexpectedly, the other side actually used submarine-launched anti-ship missiles!

Can the Phalanx deal with it? This is already the last layer of defense, there is no alternative.

With Adams' order, a phalanx in the bow of the ship hummed with a hydraulic motor. This 6-barreled 20-mm M61A1 Gatling gun emitted red flames, and the shell-piercing shells spit out without money, forming a barrage at sea.

It looks spectacular, but will it be possible to intercept the missiles flying from the opposite side?

The answer, of course, is no! The C801 anti-ship missile, which entered the final attack process, carried out a serpentine maneuver and seemed to circle the S-type in an orderly manner, and this barrage always fell behind the anti-ship missile.

This kind of well-known close defense system, which is almost equipped with the main warships of the United States, has not yet had an actual combat record, on the contrary, during an exercise, the A-6 with the target towed was shot down, and if the pilot had not parachuted fast, it would have become a hornet's nest.

There was a thrilling bypass of the barrage, and the C801 missile was coming at a rapid pace.

The last order Adams gave was to rudder left! He hoped that his warship would be able to pass by the missiles fired from the opposite side, but unfortunately, how could the maneuverability of the warship be comparable to that of anti-ship missiles! And his left full rudder, on the contrary, allowed the wide side of the warship to appear in the field of vision of the C-801 missile.

"Boom!" The 165-kilogram semi-armor-piercing warhead tore through the side of the Stott's waterline, and a huge explosion spread throughout the warship.

A large opening, several meters long, appeared on the side of the warship, and billowing smoke came out.

Shame on the US Navy! Since World War II, the U.S. Navy has never had a single warship damaged! And now, Pakistan's submarines actually dared to launch anti-ship missiles and hit their own warships!

The battle is over, and the task left to the Americans is to rescue the warship and not let it sink.

Adams, with his officers and men, extinguished the fire on the warship and did his best to save the warship.

In the sky, angry P-3C anti-submarine aircraft flew. In the face of the bombed warship, the Americans were annoyed and angry, and the passive sonar buoy was dropped almost without money, they wanted to find the submarine and let it be completely buried at the bottom of the sea!

In the rear, more P-3C anti-submarine aircraft took off, and at the same time, several warships of the US Navy are also rushing to the rescue, for them, rescue their own warships, revenge, they have to do!

The entire southern Indian Ocean was bustling with activity in an instant. (To be continued.) )
