464 anti-submarine program implementation

Chu Tingchang realized that Liao Yaoxiang scolded Sun Liren for not obeying the command, but in his bones he was actually jealous of Sun's own business, the new 38th Division is not the establishment of the 5th Army, and in such a chaotic moment, he can find flexibility from the political command system, such as following Stilwell, the chief of staff of the theater, without having to go to court-martial. Although the 38th Division has not yet broken through the Japanese defense line and is in no better situation than here, it at least has a chance to fight to the death.

When the new 22nd Division and the new 38th Division fought together with the 33rd Division, they were far closer to India than the larger army, and finally came back obediently, and Sun seems to have not been far from the road to the west since then, obviously seeing the overall situation and preparing for both.

"Master, Captain Chu asks to see you." The orderly reminded Liao Yaoxiang in a low voice who was scolding himself.

"Pavilion Chief, look at your feet of mud, you came back from the military seat in the north of the city? You can't stay there, can you? ”

"yes, the sappers are blowing up our tank artillery, I can't stand it."

"This is the last thing that Chinese soldiers want to face, hey, if I knew this, I should have fought a good battle in Mandalay, and it is better to fight it than to blow it up myself, what kind of battle is this?"

"Artillery is actually secondary, what should I do if there are so many wounded in the field hospital?"

"What does the military seat say?"

He didn't say anything. We didn't dare ask. ”

"I don't think the military seat will say anything, just leave the wounded behind. This kind of thing, you haven't seen it much, actually...... From Songhu to Xuzhou...... Happens every time...... Ay...... If you are captured by the Japanese, you may be able to go to Nanyang to repair fortifications and earn a way to survive, prisoners of war ......" Liao Yaoxiang hugged his hands and sighed.

"Why do you have to go north? Not to mention leaving behind the wounded comrades, and it is clearly the place of death. ”

"If you don't go north, don't you go to ......?"

"Yes, you can go to India, the Japanese fleet is not yet able to control the Arabian Sea, the supply is unimpeded, we have someone who can quickly arm and fight back."

"Pavilion chief, you haven't been to the United States to stay abroad, have you? The tone of his speech was exactly the same as that of Sun Liren, as if the weapon was like growing out of the crop field, and he lost one stubble and harvested another stubble. ”

"I've never been to the United States."

"The plan you said, I'm afraid it was still too late yesterday, your troops dragged on long enough in the south, and they did win a lot of time, but unfortunately the military seat hesitated, and now the time won by these sacrifices has been wasted."

"No, I believe my troops are still behind, it's just that the communication is cut off. Moreover, the Japanese army behind us did not have a firm foothold, and we were caught off guard by killing them, retaking the road, and then turning westward. If further north is Savage Mountain, it is not the place to go, if you hear the name of it......"

"Dude...... India is still called Xitian, and the name is auspicious? Liao Yaoxiang walked over and pressed Chu Tingchang's shoulder, "Soldiers take obedience as their duty, even if it is a dead end, what about it?" Gongdelin's vegetarian moon cakes, hey, I want to too, but it's a pity ......"

Judging from Liao Yaoxiang's negative remarks, it is obvious that he is dissatisfied, and it seems that there is a door.

Chu Tingchang had a bottom in his heart, and retired under the pretext of excuse. Before getting rid of Du Yuming, he still had to go to the 200th Division to probe Dai Anlan's bottom, but at present, Division Commander Dai has been in the back departments, staring at the Japanese army, and his whereabouts are uncertain.

Before waiting for Ma Qiang to appear, he could only do these preparations, once Du Yuming died or fell unconscious, it would definitely be accompanied by the destruction of the radio station, so as not to directly intervene in the command of Lao Jiang, which also meant that the troops would temporarily fall into chaos, and if the Japanese army took advantage of the situation, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Why hasn't the damn Ma Qiang come yet?"

He cursed inwardly. He prides himself on being smart and can do almost any job that is needed, with the exception of assassinations.

1,400 nautical miles east of New Guinea, Cheng Dayang finally waited until nightfall, during which time the speed of the Wyvern increased by 2 knots, and the tilt was unknown, but the water pump could be heard draining, indicating that the situation was improving.

This is close to the coast, and the appearance of US submarines will be less likely to arouse the suspicion of the Japanese, of course, you must do your homework.

According to the established plan, 419 stretched out the communication antenna and sent a simulated encrypted telecommunications of the US military, if you use drones to do this job, the directivity is better, and you don't have to worry about being picked up by the nearby allies, but that is too troublesome, the telegraph room is careful, and try to only let the Japanese fleet receive it.

Yamaguchi was called out of the bed and quickly rushed to the command room. Immediately someone stuffed him with several reports. He looked sleepily for a moment, and realized that it was a communication between several submarines intercepted by the communications staff officer, and of course he could not have known that all the telegrams were simulated by 419.

Submarine-to-submarine communications use codes that have already been deciphered, and several U.S. submarine captains can be seen talking about how to intercept a "big ship" with a speed of less than 20 knots.

He hurriedly raised his binoculars and looked around, completely unable to see any suspicious bridges on the hazy horizon. Judging from the wording described in the telegram and the speed of the target described, the enemy should have been eyeing him, and the distance should not be very far.

These submarines must have rushed to the surface of the sea with the strength of milk, and if they could recover their speed of 8 percent, they would be able to get rid of them, but unfortunately they couldn't do it. The communications staff reported preliminary conclusions on the radio side, which made it possible to establish that the enemy boats were all in the starboard direction, of course, at an unknown distance.

For this aircraft carrier, it is of course impossible to go straight east at the moment to return to Rabaul with Papua New Guinea and use the slipway there for repairs. Allied land-based aircraft can take advantage of the short take-off distance of Australian airfields to control the Torres Strait, even in the dark, there are countless American, British, and Australian destroyers and * boats in order to transport personnel and supplies to the remaining Australian troops in New Guinea, and it is troublesome to bump into them; If he continues to go north on a long route, he may be intercepted by several submarines, and he can certainly calculate the level of risk. After the Wyvern was attacked, it took the initiative to dump hundreds of tons of fuel to prevent the spread of fire, which also determined that the aircraft carrier could not go too far.

Cheng Dayang immediately observed a slight change in the enemy's formation, and without changing the route of the flying dragon, all three escort destroyers leaned to the east side, and it seemed that the first step of luring the enemy was successful. Now it's time to send them a second misinformation and let the escort destroyers go further. Of course, even if the 419 organs are exhausted, it is impossible to consider the possibility of self-defeating. At this moment, in Cheng Dayang's opinion, no matter how the enemy plays, he can't jump out of his palm.

At the same time, two large seaplanes were coming towards the Wyvern, and they came to anti-submarine around the Wyvern according to Makino's plan, but they did not make radio contact with the Wyvern fleet, not for the sake of silence, but because they did not have time to agree on the means of communication, they just silently listened to the Wyvern's communication to learn that there might be enemy submarine activity on its east side. However, these planes flew too slowly, and when SCP-419 surfaced from its enclosure, they were still protected by the curvature of the Earth and were not detected by SCP-419's brief anti-air search.

419 conducts a brief light communication on the east side of the Wyvern fleet, sending a series of messages, and of course, acting as a double reed himself, to liaise with non-existent friendly boats. Everything was arranged seamlessly, like an unfamiliar and light-hearted American captain, sailing parallel to the aircraft carrier at a distance of 20 nautical miles, completely unaware that his communications had been leaked, and still trying to use the submarine's lower bridge to make what he thought was a hidden light contact, but unfortunately he was discovered by alert Japanese sailors.

Everything is properly arranged and reasonable, and in fact the wolves in the Atlantic often act cheaply, so that the contact is not easy to be seen by the merchant fleet in the distance, as long as the distance is appropriate, and the brief light contact between them is not easy to be seen by the merchant fleet in the distance. Cheng Dayang deliberately made some deviations in the height and pointing of the lights to expose himself.

With all this arranged, 419 began to dive, maintaining periscope depth. Soon, the broadside sonar could detect all three destroyers, and all of them were rushing towards this side, which is the Japanese style of night anti-submarine style, and they did not yet have reliable active sonar, so they had to maintain their numbers to ensure that the periscope was found with searchlights.

Two seaplanes appeared just after the 419 anti-aircraft radar was turned off, and they quickly rushed here by observing the destroyer's light signals, reading the situation. These seaplanes rely on acoustic detection to ensure low altitude flight below 100 meters, and pilots are now proficient in such difficult night flights, of course, at the cost of one plane crashing into the water during the flight.

The 419's advanced sonar can grasp the position of all the surrounding water and underwater targets, but it cannot determine the air target, and the sonar crew only detects that the destroyer is starting to fire at a long distance, but does not know that this is the Japanese ship cannot identify the seaplane and the enemy and fire.

By mistake, 419 felt that the enemy had bitten the hook and continued to dive below the periscope depth, so as not to damage the periscope or electronic antenna by the enemy, and there was no place to repair it.

Even Shuping did not perceive any danger, and three enemy destroyers rushed towards them in an almost zigzag shape, attempting to encircle the submarine in an area.

2 seaplanes were fired upon by the destroyer and were forced to flee. There was no drill between the planes and the ships, and there was no way to identify friend or foe at night, and the seaplanes were forced to flee east and west, constantly explaining by light and radio, but the destroyers ignored them.

The captain of one of the seaplanes subconsciously flew towards the Wyvern, he was 150 meters in the air, it was easy to see the silhouette of the black aircraft carrier in the northwest corner by the moonlight, just about 15 nautical miles away, the captain decided to fly between the destroyer and the aircraft carrier, so as to avoid the fire of his own people, and at the same time play some escort role.

Cheng Dayang found that the route of the Flying Dragon began to drift, if it were not for the extra thousands of tons of water in the hull, the route would have been more dexterous, so clever that Cheng Dayang could see that this was more like evading aviation, rather than simple anti-submarine, but now he was just judging the enemy's plan.

419 quickly passed under the three stupid destroyers, causing no attack at all, and the enemy probably thought that the target boat was sitting on the bottom of the sea, or was crawling on the bottom of the sea at a speed of several knots.

Now Cheng Dayang wants to take advantage of the fact that these three ships are going straight to the east, grab the western position of the flying dragon, and then attack the flying dragon through the carefully planned * route to ensure that the flying sea is roughly in line with the flying dragon and the three destroyers, so that the hull of the flying dragon may block the tail flame of the * and prevent them from becoming possible witnesses.

The pilot piloted the seaplane to evade indiscriminate fire, and then began to reduce the altitude to the surface of the water, not for anti-submarine purposes, but to keep himself from being in the starry background at sea level. His telegraph operator had already called several times, and the destroyer did not answer at all.

The magnetic detector listener suddenly heard a long-lasting buzzer audio, and he had only heard such a clear signal when Makino was demonstrating the function of the device, when the device was facing a stranded submarine of his own side, in the most ideal state that could not be possible in actual combat. If. Referring to the current altitude, that submarine is almost vertically below.

But he did not have time to prepare the bomb for dropping, the audio disappeared, and apparently the plane overtook the submarine.
