Chapter 132: Diving Hunting
After New Year's Day, the headquarters in Beijing resumed its daily routine. Chen Jintang in the general headquarters said: "President, the submarine hunting team has been pulled to the Zhoushan Islands, and this area is the most active area for coalition submarines, and the submarine hunting team will first attack the enemy submarines in this area. Deng Zixuan nodded and said, "Since our victory at Huangyan Island, the attack submarines of the coalition forces have become more rampant, which is an act of revenge by the enemy. The enemy thinks that we have no way to take the submarine, and that is wishful thinking. ”
"Yes, the arrogance of the enemy must be combated, and I have already told Fan Tao that within two months, the attack submarines of the coalition forces must be eliminated in our coastal routes." Chen Jintang agreed. At this time, Chief of Staff Pei Gejin walked in and said: "President, Dai Hui called, he led the fleet back to Kaohsiung Port smoothly, and the personnel and materials were successfully delivered to Lanfang. Details about Lan Fang, he will then submit a full report. ”
"Excellent! The opening of the Nanyang sea channel has created more convenient conditions for the future Nanyang strategy and laid the foundation for Lanfang's expansion. The enemy is declining day by day, and we are growing stronger day by day, which is really a good situation! There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust, and we do the opposite, which is the way of the king. Remember, the victors not only rewrite history and create history, but are also the embodiment of justice and cannot be blamed. ”
Deng Zixuan constantly brainwashed Chen Jintang and Pei Gejin, the purpose of which was to implement a new point of view, and the future shijie should create a Chinese consensus and form a new order for the future shijie. And to achieve this goal, it is necessary to lay the foundation by creating conditions by military means. To put it bluntly, this is the law of the forest, but the law of the forest in civilized society is more high-sounding. Deception is more subtle, and perhaps it is human nature, or animal instinct.
A hidden wharf at the Chongming Island Military Port in Shanghai. There was a line of small warships. The displacement of the battleship was about 400 tons. The front of the battleship had a 76 mm gun, and the power plant was a high-horsepower diesel engine capable of reaching a speed of 30 knots. About two-thirds of the aft part of the battleship sank, forming a flat deck. On the deck there was something in the shape of an oil drum, and this was the submarine hunting bomb. The bomb was detonated at a depth of about 50 meters, and the bomb was tailor-made for hunting submarines.
The battleship had a slope in the aft, the bottom of which was parallel to the sea surface. It is convenient for the bomb to enter the sea smoothly. There are 20 warships in the submarine hunting fleet, which are specially tailored for hunting submarines. The submarine hunting brigade was formed for a month, and after several exercises, it was transferred to the Chongming Island Naval Base and put into actual combat. Recently, the attack submarines of the coalition forces have been active and rampant in the Zhoushan Islands. More than ten freighters have been sunk in half a month, so the diving hunting team chose to fight in the Zhoushan Islands for the first time.
The captain of the submarine hunting brigade is called Ding Haijun, who graduated from the Fuzhou Navy at the beginning of the year. A year before graduation, Ding Haijun conducted special study and training in diving hunting theory at the school. Currently in the Navy. He is one of the few professionals. Before entering the Fuzhou Naval Academy, Yu worked as a marine engineer on a gunboat for four years, and later was admitted to the Naval Academy with his own efforts. Yu Haiyang is 26 years old this year, and his ability to become the leader of the diving hunting team is directly related to his four-year service on the gunboat.
In the headquarters of the submarine hunting base, Yu Haijun said to the four detachment leaders: "Commander Fan ordered our unit to immediately go to Dahengshan Island in the Zhoushan Islands to look for fighters. The headquarters ordered us to defeat the arrogance of the enemy. This time, our diving hunting team is the first to go out, do you have any confidence? "Have faith!" The four squad leaders replied with their chests straight. "We have high expectations from the headquarters. You must do your best, prepare as soon as you go back, and leave in one hour. ”
An hour later, it was dark, and it was very cold in the East China Sea in January, and the 20 submarine hunters quietly set off in the night, and there was nothing special about it. The fleet left Wusongkou and entered the East China Sea, and the submarine hunting brigade dispersed to the waters of the Zhoushan Islands to search and advance in accordance with Jihua and with the detachment as a combat group. Yu Haiyang followed the 1st Detachment and arrived near the island of Bird and Flower Hill at dawn. Yu Haiyang woke up from his sleep, stretched his waist and walked out of the bedroom, and walked into the sonar room.
"What's the matter?" "Report to the captain, nothing has been found!" A sonar soldier takes off his headphones to report. "Keep listening, don't miss any clues!" "Yes!" Due to the large number of near-sea vessels, it was necessary to discern the signals of enemy submarines in the listening. At present, the freighters sailing on the sea are basically steam-driven, while the enemy's submarines are driven by gasoline engines, and the signal is weak, which brings convenience to distinguish.
After daybreak, the search was fruitless, and Yu Navy ordered the search to continue southward. Half an hour later, sonar soldiers reported that about 20 nautical miles to the southeast, a suspicious target had been found. When Yu Haiyang heard this, he immediately lifted his spirits and ordered the five submarine hunters to move in the southeast direction. After traveling about 10 nautical miles, he encountered a cargo ship. Upon inquiry, the captain of the freighter told that they were two freighters that had encountered an enemy submarine, one of which had been sunk and that the freighter had escaped. Yu Haiyang did not hurry to comfort the people on the ship, and ordered the submarine hunter to move forward at high speed.
At midnight, the American Captain Jack led two attack submarines to the sea east of Bird and Flower Mountain. Due to the frequent attacks during this time, there are fewer and fewer cargo ships sailing on the sea, so there are not many opportunities. Captain Jack has achieved great success, and the attack submarines he commanded in the past few months have sunk nine freighters and one small gunboat, leaving the Chinese Navy in a no-man's land off the coast of China, in other words, the Chinese Navy has no way to attack submarines at the moment.
In response to frequent attacks by enemy submarines, cargo ships were prohibited from sailing along the coast. However, merchants pursue profits, after all, sea transportation is faster and cheaper than land transportation, so many merchants still take risks and take profits. Due to the danger of sea transportation, in order to survive, the ships carrying the freight plummeted their freight rates in order to attract business, so that the coalition forces frequently attacked submarines, and the coastal routes of the mainland became the enemy's hunting grounds.
The two submarines cruised on the surface of the sea and finally met their prey at dawn. "Report to the captain that two enemy cargo ships have been found, and the route is from south to north." Jack was overjoyed and immediately ordered to dive, and soon the two submarines were submerged in the sea, only to expose the periscope to the surface. Two submarines quietly appeared on the front of the cargo ship's course, the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer, and at about 200 meters, the other submarine did not wait and was the first to launch a torpedo.
Jack spotted a neighbor's submarine firing a torpedo, and the other party spotted the torpedo. Jack angrily scolded the other party for being a fool, and if a torpedo was fired at a distance of 100 meters, the other party would basically wait for death. At this moment, facing Jack's cargo ship, it suddenly drove on the side of the left full rudder at high speed. The submarine's maneuverability in the water is extremely poor, and it is too late for Jack to lock on to the target, and the speed of the submarine under the sea is far worse than that of a freighter.
Another freighter was hit head-on by a torpedo, the freighter was a steel-boned wooden structure, and a torpedo was enough. With a violent explosion, debris flew sideways in the front of the cargo ship, then plunged into the sea in the front and puffed out in the back. The crew of the cargo ship jumped into the sea, and then the steam rose, and the cargo ship sank into the sea, and a large number of cargo and wood fragments were floating on the sea, and the diving crew struggled to save themselves in the sea.
Jack's order surfaced, looking at the fleeing freighter, Jack sighed helplessly. After the attack was successful, he could not continue to hunt in this area, so Jack ordered to drive south and continue to search for prey.
On the submarine hunter ship 001, a sonar soldier reported: "Report to the team leader, sonar detection, found two enemy submarines, heading southeast, about 12 nautical miles. "Fucking finally hit the muzzle of the gun, full speed ahead to target the enemy submarine."
Jack stood on the deck, holding a telescope to check, and suddenly the lookout behind him exclaimed: "Report to the captain, we have found that five enemy gunboats, about 4 nautical miles away, are approaching us at high speed." Jack immediately checked: "The enemy gunboat found us and immediately dived and evacuated." Jack wasn't worried, in the past, he would evacuate unharmed when he encountered enemy gunboats, but he thought of running into a bad star.
"The report revealed that two enemy submarines were heading southeast, at a distance of 4.5 nautical miles, a lookout shouted loudly. Yu Haijun raised his binoculars and observed: "Sure enough, there are two submarines, the enemy submarine is diving, don't let him run away and outflank him quickly." "It stands to reason that as long as the submarine is stationary, it is difficult to find the target. However, the enemy submarine can only be lurking underwater for 6 hours, and must come up to replace the air, otherwise the crew will suffocate to death. 6 hours is absolutely not to stand still under the sea, so it is necessary to quickly escape underwater.
Jack ordered the submarine to dive, and since the depth was only 20 meters, the submarine dived quickly, and then quickly fled at full speed. Soon, a watcher panicked and reported that the enemy gunboat was catching up, and the distance was getting closer. "Sir, how is this possible, so that the enemy can see our position?" The deputy panicked. Jack was also a little dazed, and quickly took the monitoring headphones, and sure enough, he heard the roar getting closer and closer.
"Stop moving forward, engine stop!" Jack gives the order. The submarine stopped moving forward, and the interior became very quiet. But Jack's face became more and more ugly, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, it was hot in the submarine, Jack's cold sweat quickly turned into a stream of sweat, flowing down his cheeks like a river, what did Jack hear, so soulful? (To be continued......)
