Chapter 497: Prepare for an ambush
readx;
Original "No propeller noise was found within 50 nautical miles of the sea, and the surrounding sea area was safe," the sonar man reported. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧
It was not a time of war, but everything was set according to the situation of the war, and after repeatedly listening to the surrounding sea area and the absence of ship activity, Mustafa ordered: "The first ballast tanks are displaced, ready to float." ”
After a few days of underwater activity, it was time to surface for ventilation, and, after this time, they could dive again, sail for a few days, and then enter the Gulf of Oman.
If the submarine wants to dive, it is by injecting seawater to increase gravity, on the contrary, if you want to surface, you need to discharge the water again, so the submarine needs to reserve a certain amount of compressed air to discharge seawater, and at the same time, the compressed air is also used to start the engine and other aspects, on the submarine, in addition to the power of the battery is very valuable, the compressed air is also very valuable.
Receiving the order, the controller began to control the compressed air into the front ballast water tanks, and with the sound of high-pressure air, the seawater was quickly discharged from the tanks.
The sea water was discharged, and the front end of the submarine began to become lighter, and just now it was still sailing underwater, but now the head has risen, and under the combined action of the horizontal rudder surface, the submarine has begun to sail upward. ≦≧
Soon, the wet hull came out of the water.
"Displacement of ballast water tanks in the aft to balance the hull." Mustafa continued.
Soon, the submarine showed its original scene on the surface of the sea, with a slender body, piercing the water, sailing at a speed of eight knots.
The night in the Arabian Sea is quiet, in the submarine, there is no day and night, and when they reach the sea, they can only surface at night, this is the life of submariners.
"Starting the diesel engine, charging the battery, replenishing the compressed air, the crew can move outside the boat for two minutes in pairs."
Being a submariner is boring. They are faced with a large pile of mechanical parts every day, cold and lifeless, and although oxygen is constantly being produced in the confined space inside the submarine, and carbon dioxide is absorbed at the same time, it is a long time. There will still be a peculiar smell inside the submarine. Fresh water inside the submarine is very precious, and if you want to take a bath, it is absolutely impossible. So. Being able to breathe in the fresh air outside is a nice treat.
In order to maintain combat effectiveness, as long as it is not dangerous sea areas. ≦≧ under normal circumstances, submarines will quietly surface every few days to recharge the batteries and let the crew go out of the cabin for a while.
The hatch at the top of the conning tower opened, and the gentle sea breeze poured in, and everyone had a feeling of freshness.
The first two submariners had already climbed up at a brisk pace, breathing in the fresh air outside, and had reached the Arabian Sea. They'll be coming home soon!
Leo has long been accustomed to the life of submarines, and looking at the young men from Iraq who have recovered their vitality, he remembered the embarrassing state when he first got on the submarine, submariners, all of whom grew up in training!
At this time, the submariner in charge of communications suddenly said: "Report, the command sent an order." ”
"Receive it now." Mustafa said.
The submarine wanted to contact the base. The most commonly used means is long-wave radio.
Long wave is a kind of radio wave with a very long wavelength, and the use of submarines is mainly concentrated in the VLF band, which can propagate around the ground, so it is also called ground wave. ≦≧ can spread to any part of the world with the terrain unaffected by the surface of the earth. But. The bandwidth of the long wave is narrow, and it takes a long time to receive a command.
Moreover, radio signals in this band can only be received at a depth of 15m underwater, and in order to maintain the stability of the signal, in many cases, the antenna is released to the working depth or close to the water surface. Most submarines are often equipped with two antennas to receive VLF signals. One is to use a very long towed antenna, and the other is a ring antenna mounted on a plastic buoy, which is still one of the better means of communication with submarines.
In addition to this way, submarines want to quickly receive, they can also use communication satellites, however, this is only available in a few large countries. Therefore, only the submarine control towers of these major countries are equipped with satellite communication antennas on the lifting masts.
In addition to these, hydroacoustic communications can also be used between submarines that are relatively close to each other, or between submarines and surface ships.
In order to avoid exposing the target, the submarine will not maintain communication at any time, but will only communicate with the base within a fixed time, for example, now, when it is time to contact the base, after releasing the antenna, it receives the command from the base.
After waiting for a few minutes, finally receiving it, Mustafa took the telegram, and the order on it was simple: rush to the waters of fifty nautical miles south of the port of Chakhbahar, stand by there, and prepare to attack the target!
Attack the target! Mustafa's eyes looked at the telegram, he did not expect that the task would come so quickly! No matter what the target is, the ships of the Iranians, or the Americans, as long as it is an order from their superiors, they will obey unconditionally!
The only thing that made Mustafa feel uneasy was that because the main mission this time was to return home, there were only four torpedoes in his submarine, two of which were still training shells without warheads!
"Re: We're done!" A golden light flashed in Mustafa's eyes: "Contact our brother submarine, after we finish charging, we will immediately rush to the predetermined sea area!" ”
Even if there is only one usable torpedo, the mission must be completed!
Another submarine, five nautical miles away from Mustafa's submarine, received his message at the same time. ≦≧
This battle will start from underwater!
The advice of the German advisers gave them a great preparation, and after this period of sailing, they had mastered the cāo skills of submarines, and moreover, they had accumulated a lot of experience, and although they had not yet fired torpedoes, they were already full of confidence!
Moreover, since they spent most of their time under water, no one noticed that these two submarines had entered the Arabian Sea and would soon return to Iraq, although since they left the port, these two submarines have lost their traces, but for the navy that has just had submarines, no one will believe that they have any combat effectiveness, the submarines of the United States and the Soviet Union like to engage in the game of chasing each other underwater, and no one will be interested in these two submarines of Iraq. ≦≧
And their voyage deliberately avoided the sea area where the naval ships of other countries in the Arabian Sea operated, so their arrival now is still very secretive.
After the quick charge, the TR-1700 submarines, again went under the seawater, only the difference is that this time, they are definitely not exercises!
"Captain, we're about to enter the Gulf of Aden." The ship's first mate said.
Green looked at the surrounding water, the nearby sea water is blue-green sè, but in the distance, you can see the red and brown sè water, that is because the red sè seaweed grows luxuriantly and is red-brown sè, this is the famous Red Sea, they have sailed to the end of the Red Sea, and then forward, is the Gulf of Aden, and out of the Gulf of Aden, they enter the Arabian Sea.
Thinking of the things transported on the ship, Green knew that the next part of the voyage would be the most dangerous, but he was not afraid, because the US Navy was patrolling the Arabian Sea, and there were aircraft carriers, and if his ship was attacked by anything, the US Navy would protect him.
Moreover, Mossad intelligence said that the Arab countries did not notice him at all, an ordinary civilian ship, and that they were safe.
And the other civilian ships are most worried about being attacked by the Iranians, and he has no worries about this at all, because he is here to deliver arms to the Iranians, and no matter how crazy the Iranians are, they will not dig their own graves, right?
"Keep the crew on guard, and we need to be aware of our surroundings for the rest of the voyage." Green said. Although Green was not afraid, he kept the crew on their toes.
After entering the Arabian Sea, the wind was calm, they did not encounter anything, only once, a helicopter flew by in the distance, and they did not pay attention.
They were just ordinary crew members, and besides, the helicopter flew so far away that they couldn't see anything clearly, and by the time Green was ready to observe with the high-powered telescope, the other party had already flown away.
Unbeknownst to them, it was an Omani civilian helicopter secretly rented by intelligence officers from the Al Messiah Bureau to monitor the whereabouts of their cargo ship after it had taken off from Serra.
In order to keep secrets, Qusay did not drop the Wasp helicopter, so that although the radar can be used to monitor from a long distance without interruption, the radar signal will also be exposed to the US Navy's electronic warfare aircraft in the distance, and when the Americans investigate it afterwards, they will know that this is a deliberate attack in Iraq, so it is still handed over to the personnel of the Messiah Bureau to deal with.
At sea, the people of the Messiah Bureau also rented several Omani fishing boats and observed the ship's whereabouts without a trace.
The intellect was constantly gathered to the Messiah Bureau, and then to Qusay.
The attack action is already on the line.
After two days and two nights of diving, the two TR-1700 submarines finally arrived at the predetermined sea area.
In order to remain hidden, from the last time, until the completion of the mission, they could not surface, although after a long voyage, however, all the crew, was surrounded by great excitement, because, they finally went to the battlefield!
With my hard training, I can finally give full play to my value!
And since he learned that these two submarines had accepted the mission, the Leo advisors, who had always been very strict, did not show up and stayed in their duli cabins. Mustafa knew that the position of the German advisers was very awkward now, they had come to be instructors, but they had definitely not come to participate in the battle in person, but now it was impossible for them to get out of the submarine, so they had to choose their own way.
The Germans are rigorous, and they strictly follow the rules, regardless of whether there is supervision or not. To be continued
