Fire Country, in a dark and gloomy sea somewhere in the southern sea region.
A black shadow slowly swept past, looking like a chilling deep-sea monster. The buzzing sound made the surrounding marine creatures frantically dodge from afar.
Of course, it was not a deep-sea monster, but a submarine.
Just like the Sovremenny class guided missile destroyer, this was also purchased by those ingrates from the hairy bear. It was an F-class (Foxtrot) conventional submarine.
The submarine was 91 meters long and 7.5 meters wide. It had a diving displacement of 2475 tons and a maximum underwater speed of 15 knots. It was equipped with 10 533mm torpedoes and could carry 48 torpedoes. It could last 90 days at sea and could not float for up to 575 hours.
Why did he float?
There was no air in the sea. Once the diesel engine equipped with the conventional power submarine was used, it would consume the oxygen on the boat in seconds.。。Then, everyone would die.
Therefore, after a period of time, the conventional power submarine needed to float to the surface and rely on the diesel engine to provide power to move forward. At the same time, it also charged the battery.
Of course, nuclear submarines didn't have to worry about this problem. Nuclear reactors could provide electricity for a long time, but the problem was that nuclear technology was too difficult. Ordinary countries couldn't afford to play with it.
This F-class submarine was on the same level as the Type 033 submarine that Yang Dingtian brought out. They were both second-generation conventional submarines that the Mao Xiong Navy had started building in the fifth year.
At this moment, in the submarine command module.
Captain Wu Hui was sitting in his seat, his legs swaying. (Forty percent of the people in An Nan had the surname Ruan. The others were Li, Li, Chen, Wu, etc. The reason was obvious.）
Their mission was to sneak over and use passive sonar to monitor the movements of the Fire Country's fleet. They were a little far away from the fleet but he was not worried at all.
What was there to worry about?
The two Fire Country frigates that had once scared them to death were now like paper in front of their fleet, torn to pieces in less than a minute.
Most importantly, this submarine was also purchased from Mao Xiong, which undoubtedly gave him a lot of confidence.
"Is there any movement?"
Wu Hui asked.
"Everything is normal."
"Do those Fire Country fellows still dare to come? I'm afraid you're scared out of your wits."
"Hmph, we'll slaughter as many as they come this time.”
"I don't know if that Crazy Yang from last time dares to come. If we don't kill him, it will be the shame of our navy. The humiliation will never be erased."
A few officers immediately spoke.
At this moment, their confidence had already reached the point of bursting. It was as if they were invincible and could kill gods and devils in their way.
"You can't say that either." Captain Wu Hui spoke up," I have to admit that the vast majority of the Fire Country's people are very courageous. They are the kind who dare to risk their lives and are not afraid of death. However, in the face of absolute strength, it is useless even if they are not afraid of death.”
Swoosh.
After he finished speaking, Wu Hui swept his gaze across everyone present and snorted coldly," Those Fire Country fellows were able to defeat those foreign devils back then, and we still won against them. Everyone, pull yourself together. This time, we must make those fellows return the blood from the last naval battle ten times over.。。”
Beep beep beep.
Before he could say the word blood debt, the alarm suddenly rang. The shrill sound was like a needle piercing through the ears and nerves of Wu Hui and the others.
Wu Hui could no longer be bothered to continue boasting. He suddenly turned his head and shouted," What's going on?”
"Master... Active Sonar Lock-In Warning, I... We've been locked on." The Sonar Soldier's voice was already trembling.
What did it mean to be locked onto by active sonar?
It meant that their position had been completely grasped by the enemy. Next, there would definitely be a storm-like attack.
"Impossible."
Wu Hui instantly roared out as he clenched his fists tightly," There are no Fire Country's warships in the surroundings so how could we be locked onto by the active sonar? Impossible, there must be a malfunction. Check it immediately.”
"Yes."
"Definitely not."
"Hurry up and take a look."
The surrounding guys all spoke up.
None of them believed it.
They had been wandering around for quite some time but their passive sonar did not detect any abnormalities and did not detect any traces of the Fire Country's fleet.
Boom!
At this moment, a dazzling flame suddenly flashed from less than three meters away from the F-class submarine. The huge shock wave immediately caused the seawater to boil, and giant bubbles appeared.
Whoosh.
The pressure hull of the submarine caved in and then shattered with a loud bang. The fragments were squeezed by the seawater. It was pressed down and crazily poured into the submarine cabin.
The few guys in the cabin didn't even have time to scream. Their bodies were pushed against the cabin wall by the seawater. The sudden increase in the strong water pressure of the deep sea instantly shattered their internal organs. Blood gushed out from their mouths, noses, ears, and eyes. They were bleeding from all seven orifices.
Thump, thump.
Wu Hui and the others in the command module did not have it easy either. They were directly thrown out and smashed heavily into the cabin wall before landing on the ground.
It felt as if they had been hit by a speeding car. Their bodies were about to fall apart. There were also a few unlucky people who were already dead because their internal organs were shattered.
The command module, which had been filled with confidence just a moment ago, had completely changed in an instant. There were casualties all over the place, all kinds of equipment were scattered, and broken wires were emitting blue electric sparks.
"Impossible, impossible. There's clearly no warship.”
Wu Hui shouted like he had gone crazy. Where was the slightest bit of confidence from before? He looked like a stray dog that had fallen into a desperate situation.
"Captain, it's an anti-submarine helicopter. It must be an anti-submarine helicopter. Otherwise, we wouldn't have found nothing.”A guy cried out.
Anti-submarine helicopter?
Wu Hui's body seemed to have been electrocuted as he suddenly trembled.
He wasn't a fool. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been chosen to be the captain of this F-class submarine. Only the anti-submarine helicopter could explain their current encounter.
It was over.
As if he had exhausted all the strength in his body, Wu Hui's entire person was paralyzed there.
Not to mention that they had suffered quite a bit of damage from the attack, even if they were unharmed, once they were locked on by the anti-submarine helicopter, it was basically impossible for them to escape.
"I don't believe it. How could the Fire Country's navy have anti-submarine helicopters?”A guy beside him shouted. He couldn't accept this fact.
Why?
This was because the technical difficulty of the anti-submarine helicopter was too high. It was not just the helicopter itself, but the sophisticated anti-submarine equipment. All of them were top-notch electronic technology.
They were well aware of the situation of the Fire Country's navy. It was definitely not powerful and many of the warships were made to imitate Mao Xiong's. How could they have the ability to manufacture anti-submarine helicopters?
"That's not scary. It's also possible that he bought it secretly.”
Wu Hui, who was already in complete despair, wanted to say this, but he already had no strength to say it.
What was the most terrifying thing?
However, this place was very far from land. With the helicopter's flight range, it was impossible for it to not fly over from land. It could only take off from a warship.
What did this mean?
It meant that the Fire Country's navy had already mastered the technology to use helicopters to board ships.
The helicopter didn't just land on the deck. It also involved the information connection between the helicopter and the warship, the integration of the combat command system, and so on. It was a manifestation of advanced information technology.
It was terrifying.
It was really too terrifying.
The fear in Wu Hui's heart had already reached a point where it could not be any greater.
Not only them, even Mao Xiong's side did not know that the Fire Country's Navy not only had anti-submarine helicopters, they had even boarded their ships and possessed actual combat capabilities.
A fleet that could carry helicopters and a fleet that could not carry helicopters were two completely different concepts. The difference was undoubtedly huge, and they did not know this information. This could very well be fatal.
Unfortunately, Wu Hui and the rest did not have the chance to pass this information back.
Because the second depth charge had already exploded, the already heavily damaged F-class submarine could no longer withstand it. In an instant, it disintegrated and fell rapidly to the bottom of the sea.
Wu Hui and the others?
Of course, they would die without a burial place and wait to be fed to the fish.
。。。
At the same time, above the sea.
On the Condor anti-submarine helicopter that took off from Ship 106, Wu Bing and the other two were retrieving the sonar. The feedback from the target's sonar signal had disappeared, indicating that it had been destroyed.
Previously, there had been reports from the submarine hunters that there were suspected to be An Nan's submarines in this area, but they had not been able to find any traces of them. In addition, the main force of An Nan's fleet was right in front of them, so they did not conduct a detailed search.
When they arrived at the second line of defense on the sea, Yang Dingtian asked them to take off and search the sea.
Very quickly.
After retrieving the sonar, the Condor anti-submarine helicopter left at a low altitude. It did not retrieve the radio sonobuoy floating on the sea dozens of meters away.
Why?
Because it was a one-time consumable item, it would automatically activate the self-destruct sequence after the set time was up and sink to the bottom of the sea. It would be completely damaged and could not be used. There was no fear of being obtained by the enemy.
The radio sonofloat was also the most commonly used equipment for anti-submarine helicopters. After it was put into the sea, it would be a small sonar device fixed here to assist the anti-submarine helicopter in searching for enemy submarines.
The device was powered by a battery. The detected target signal was amplified and turned into a radio signal that was sent into the air. Finally, it was received by the helicopter and analyzed.
Very quickly.
The Condor anti-submarine helicopter disappeared in the sky above the sea. Their next mission was no longer to search for submarines, but to find the location of the Annam fleet.
。。。
On the other side.
In the command room of Battleship 106.
" Report, Eagle 1 reports that the enemy submarine has been destroyed. They will continue to search for the enemy fleet in the southwest direction.”The messenger stood up and reported.
He was killed just like that?
Li Kaiming and the others were shocked.
Although they had always known that anti-submarine helicopters were very powerful, it was only a concrete concept because the Fire Country's navy did not have one at all and they had no way of experiencing it.
But now, they finally understood.
If a fleet were to search for them, they might not even be able to catch them in a day or two.
"Yes."
Yang Dingtian nodded.
This was the reason why he had the anti-submarine helicopter board the ship. The search speed was fast, the range was large, and the concealment was strong. Once a suspected target was found, they would immediately rush over.
With the submarine's speed, even if the propeller was turned on, it would not be able to outrun the helicopter. Therefore, the anti-submarine helicopter was called the enemy of the submarine.
" Did Eagle 2 discover anything?" he asked again.
There were two Condor anti-submarine helicopters on the 106 ship. The difference was that one carried two depth bombs and the other carried two Eagle-8 anti-ship missiles.
"Not at the moment."
"Inform them to be careful. The enemy ships have anti-air missiles. They just need to find their position and not get too close.”
"Yes."
"Have you found any shore-based fighter jets?" Yang Dingtian spoke again.
Li Kaiming shook his head." No, the shore-based fighter jets don't have much fuel to fly here. They have almost no time to search the sea. They are mainly responsible for air surveillance.”
"How's the information connection?"
"No problem. As long as the fighter aircraft is within the signal reception range, after identification, they can communicate with us and listen to our commands.”
"Alright."
Yang Dingtian nodded.
Next.
Those ingrates would understand that in the face of information warfare, their fleet built with the modern guided missile destroyer as the core would be vulnerable.
Time passed little by little.
Whether it was Yang Dingtian and the others or those ingrates, they were all trying their best to find the other party's position. Once they locked onto the other party, they would have a great advantage.
However, the helicopter was undoubtedly faster.
After refilling the fuel and checking all aspects of the helicopter, the radar on Eagle 2, which was out to sea again, successfully discovered the Annam fleet at dusk.
It was near an island. Those guys were obviously using the island to hide. The trees and hills on the island could block radar signals from the front.
After receiving the news.
Yang Dingtian did not hesitate. He immediately ordered the fleet to set sail and rush towards that sea area. They were still more than 500 nautical miles away. There was no need to worry about being discovered.
