Chapter 225 225 Sunken nuclear submarine
It was actually an accident that the four S20 submarines blocked the No. 3 ship of the fast-class attack nuclear submarine, the Gangqiang, and before the British army carried out the task of opening up the channel, the submarines who received the task from the naval operations department had already begun to lay small traps similar to the kind of small traps that the British army had just been recruited by in this area. But on the other hand, it is not fun for the British army to press the border, and it is up to luck to escape if they are caught, so these submarines still try to keep their activities on the periphery of the British army.
It's just that I didn't think about it, and I didn't know whether the road was yawed or deliberately looking for traces of the Nanjie submarine on the periphery, and it happened to crash into the activity area of the S20 submarine. Although the tonnage of the Nanjie submarine is small, its technical level is still commendable compared with the second-generation nuclear submarines of the 70s, such as the fast class. For example, the whole ship is equipped with a variety of underwater listening equipment, such as underwater navigation radar, hull sonar, active and passive attack sonar, towed array sonar, etc., which are basically ten years or more ahead of the British army.
Then there is the fact that several ships remained relatively static when the Fortitude broke in, but the Fortitude entered their habitat like a gong, even if the Fortitude thought that no matter how careful it was, it couldn't help but be seized by the four S20 submarines with information such as location and electromagnetic spectrum.
Relatively speaking, although the S20 submarine is an AIP submarine redesigned for export, it is the highest standard because it is Qi Yiming's own use, so it adopts the highest standard, and the AIP power of the fuel cell itself improves its ability to mute and stealth, although the layer of silencing tile laid on the hull is not as good as the bionic shark skin silencing tile used in 093 and 094, but it is still slightly better than the products of the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union of the same era. Compared with the so-called oceanic black hole Kilo class, the S20 series of submarines can really be described as a silent killer hidden in the ocean floor.
"The target position has been confirmed, waiting for the friendly ship to enter the attack position."
The four submarines were in different directions, like leopards staring at their prey, slowly moving their heads down through the grass and slowly moving themselves to a distance where they could attack. They were all quite slow, for fear that the sound caused by the high speed would be detected by the Strong.
The reason for the attack in four different directions is that after calculation, the four submarines can weave a fire net through their own attack routes, so as to minimize the evasion route of this nuclear submarine.
“…… Follow my password, launch at the same time, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - fire! ”
Four S20 submarines simultaneously launched their own Yu-6 heavy torpedoes, compared with the Tiger ray-guided heavy torpedoes used by the British army, the Yu-6 itself also has active and passive acoustic self-guidance and wake self-guidance modes, it also has a longer range, and can be launched from a distance of 45 kilometers.
The S20 submarine has six 533 torpedo tubes, which can shoot a heavy torpedo at the same time, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, the four S20 submarines have fired two or more torpedoes in a row, so many torpedoes formed a terrible lightning net in an instant to cover the strong number, when the sailors of the strong number heard the terrible "whistling" of the torpedo, it was too late.
A total of six Yu-6 torpedoes hit the attack nuclear submarine, which was nearly 5,000 tons, and the terrible force of the impact first tore the shell of the nuclear submarine, and then the water pressure scrambled to begin to contribute to the destruction of the hapless nuclear submarine. A torpedo even pierced the stern rudder of the Strong, and the raging waters of the Indian Ocean poured into the gap in a steady stream.
The fast-class nuclear submarine was originally built with multiple watertight compartments, and after a certain section was flooded, it could be closed immediately to prevent more compartments from being eroded. However, during this attack, too many torpedoes hit her, so that the multiple watertight compartments did not have time to work, and they filled them.
Like the ghost hand of the ghostly demon abyss from the deep ocean, he struggled to drag this submarine more than 80 meters long into the deeper sea. The depth of any submarine is limited, the maximum depth of this area is more than 3,000 meters, and when the Gang Qiang is dragged below 800 meters, the increasing water pressure has suppressed it to a complete deformation, like a broken can.
The sailors on the S20 submarine did not cheer, on the one hand, they are all Red Alert soldiers and are born with less affection, and on the other hand, they are also submariners, and they can all experience the terrible feeling of being trapped in an iron can waiting for death. Instead of cheering for your own victory, you should observe a moment of silence for your peers. Because absolutely, none of the 116 crew members on the Fortitude were able to escape without accident.
The second confrontation between the South British Navy ended with a Leander-class frigate being towed away with serious injuries, culminating in the sinking of a fast-class attack nuclear submarine in the Egmont Islands, west of Diego Garcia, in order to prevent it from sinking in the Egmont Islands, west of Diego Garcia. Since the air battle in the Strait of Malacca, South Britain has fought three times, and the British army has basically not taken advantage of it at all, and it has been defeated repeatedly.
Moreover, the Fortitude was the first submarine to be sunk after World War II, and it was still a nuclear submarine, which made the British army very sad. Although the water pressure in the deep sea has sealed off the nuclear reactor of the Gangqiang, I don't know if there will be any other chaos in the tunnel. In the 60s, the USS Thresher nuclear submarine, which was tested by the United States for submarine testing, also sank at a depth of more than 2,000 meters in the Wilkinson Trench, 200 nautical miles east of Cape Cod.
I don't know what Qi Yiming thinks, Nanyang News Agency did not further exaggerate the victory, and reduced a little burden for the British in disguise. But the so-called ugly daughter-in-law will eventually see her in-laws, and the current defeat will be shaken out sooner or later, and Britain will still be slapped in the face at that time. The only way to save this situation is to defeat the Southern Liberation Army.
But the successive defeats made some politicians and generals doubt whether to continue to use troops in the south.
Admiral John, who had made great achievements for Britain in the Falkland Islands War? For the first time after the sinking of the Strong, Federhouse uttered the words "Stop this war, which will do nothing but harm Britain." However, his words were attacked by conservative forces led by Margaret Thatcher.
Margaret Thatcher even taunted the old general, saying, "Has a victorious war satisfied you, Your Excellency? Or can you take this victory over the weak and enjoy the reverence of the younger generations, and you will be blind to the glory and disgrace of Britain from then on? The indecision and cowardice we are facing now are the main culprits of the damage to Britain, and only by advancing bravely and crushing the enemy can the world see clearly the great figure of the United Kingdom standing on the top of the world forever! ”
Unaware that the prime minister's wife is pushing her beloved country into the abyss, a group of bureaucrats and incompetent soldiers who know nothing but sloppiness and flattery begin to greet her.
"Under the leadership of the Prime Minister's wife, we will surely be able to win a second brilliant victory for Britain, long live the United Kingdom!"
Therefore, Britain has only one reflection on the war at this juncture - not enough troops, not enough offensive, and victory will definitely belong to Britain.
The Diego Garcia base was shared by Britain and the United States, and the Americans in the same place saw it clearly, and sent back to the Pentagon its first-hand information, including the faint news that the Fortitude had never returned, including photos of the British frigate sitting on the beachhead. The shrewd Yankees soon deduced the truth that their ally, Britain, had fallen into a state of madness and was bent on a victory.
The successive losses of the British army also unnerved the Americans, and Reagan even urgently summoned members of his cabinet to discuss the progress of the situation.
"The military strength of the Southern Liberation Army is surprising." Reagan Road.
Defense Secretary Weinberg shook his head: "Actually, it's not a surprise at all, Mr. President." Our intelligence shows that the so-called SPLA is the guys who have taken off the Chinese PLA uniform and put on a new suit. You know that China is engaged in a million-dollar disarmament, and in a year they have laid off at least 600,000 people, and by 1990 the size of their army will be reduced to 2 million, and these veterans who have good military skills and can cause social unrest, it is clear that China has found a good way out for them. ”
Secretary of State Scholz still has questions: "But so many armaments are the most advanced things, and China itself is so poor that its pants are about to fall off, and it is realistic to take it out and give it directly to this Yugoslav solution?" ”
Reagan said: "Maybe it's impossible to say if you run out of money and return it, but the relationship between Yugoslavia and China is actually one and the same, and anyone with a discerning eye can see it." The point is that Britain has already revealed its true nature as a foreign power, and our new allies are clearly not to be provoked, and if they cannot be persuaded to act in a frenzied manner, they are likely to lose a lot. Even if it is not strong enough to fight China, Britain is still very qualified to bully and bully other small countries, and it is quite unwise to waste its own strength in vain, is there any way to stop them? ”
The elder Bush had eaten Mrs. Thatcher's anger before, and this time was just the right time to retaliate, and his Bush family itself had close relations with the oil group and the military-industrial complex, and he said: "We have a lot of military cooperation with Britain, and even their sea-based nuclear strike capability depends on the Trident we provide, and there is also a lot of other technical support and cooperation. ”
Schultz frowned, "But this will greatly weaken the relationship between us and our allies." ”
Bush Sr. said: "This is inevitable, the British are not stupid, they naturally know how to make trade-offs." But if we sit idly by for fear of hurting our allies, let the British cripple themselves, and cause our alliance to shrink, then the gains outweigh the losses. ”
Reagan was very optimistic about Bush Sr.'s idea, nodded and said, "That's it, let's discuss how to let the British pull their hands on this matter." ”
