The quiet but gloomy underwater world, a huge submarine slowly advancing underwater at a speed of 4 knots. She is the PLA Navy's Type 039A stunning propulsion submarine, the anti-submarine of this Pacific Rim joint military exercise

In the combat subject, the submarine is regarded as the "enemy".

Even after participating in the RIMPAC exercise, the projects China participated in did not reflect the attitude of many alliances. On the contrary, almost all other projects except those of maritime transportation and subsidies have clear confrontation. This also reflects that Western countries still have a sense of confrontation towards China.

A strong sense of distrust may be more important factor in wanting to know the combat effectiveness of the Chinese navy and hope to master more means to deal with the Soviet Red Navy through joint training with China, which has many connections with the Soviet Union.

So this 039A submarine is actually playing the role of a conventional Kilo-class submarine that has not been in service for a long time in the Soviet Union. The Kilo-class, known as the ocean black hole, is a major improvement made by the Soviet Union on submarines, and is said to be secretly sold to the Soviet Union with Japan.

The processing equipment embargoed by the Batumi, and the previous Walker leak case also showed that the Soviet Union used stealing US intelligence to obtain breakthroughs in its own equipment.

No matter how the Kilo class came from, this thing will make the Americans and his allies feel quite a headache. It can be used as an underwater guard to protect Soviet strategic nuclear submarines, and can also pass performance after the outbreak of a real war.

and the advantage of quantity seriously undermines the NATO Group's maritime transportation and replenishment line.

039A is undoubtedly more BT than the Kilo-level. If 039A can be dealt with, the United States will not have to worry about the Kilo-level troubles in the future.

On the clear and clear sea, the captain of the Forest-class aircraft carrier CV-61 Ranger, Pederson, stood in the bridge and scanned the magnificent sea with a telescope. The captain was quite relaxed at this moment, just like

Just like a camping camping, the Rangers are in the front part of the fleet, and this grand fleet consists of nearly ten Allied warships, and the Rangers are its core. In the center of the fleet are two painted and significantly whiter

The warships of the Shenzhen and Jiaxing play important merchant ships. The subject must be to simulate a whole fleet escorting two merchant ships with particularly important materials, and this sea area is the carnival hunting ground for conventional Soviet power submarines.

Two British frigates, the Amazon and the Beaver, are located directly in front of the fleet, one left and one right, and are using their own ball-nose sonar to sweep a channel for the fleet. The Australian and New Zealand ships are on the left, a few kilometers away,

On the right are Canadian and Japanese anti-submarine destroyers, and behind are large American destroyers. In Captain Pederson's view, this is an impregnable iron barrel array.

In the sky 60 kilometers away, the S-3 fixed-wing carrier-based anti-submarine aircraft that took off from the Ranger was the outermost line of defense, followed by the SH-60 Seahawk and other anti-submarine helicopters released by the destroyer on the outside, followed by the ships.

They all have their own anti-submarine sonar, and even the Adams-class destroyer of the US military dragged a thread behind them. In the words of Captain Feoré: "Even if a needle falls from the sea, we will find that

.”

At this time, Pederson received a message from the Australian frigate Darwin. The sonar buoy launched by their anti-submarine helicopters found an unknown sound source signal, circling outside, as if he wanted to escape the fleet's anti-submarine giant.

net.

Pederson smiled and said, "Although the Chinese submarines can be used for a long time without ventilation, in such a cramped anti-submarine formation, it is absolutely necessary to avoid our intensive search and destroy the target merchant ship.

It’s not easy. Maybe they might choose to set depth in a position and then ambush us, but the choice of the waterway is ultimately our final say!”

He ordered: "Order Darwin to enter combat mode immediately and knock her out!"

The Darwin, who received the order, followed the submarine that seemed to have noticed it was exposed, and panickedly broke forward.

"Good opportunity!" Captain Bentley's eyes were bright and bright. However, because the opponent's speed was not slow and their anti-submarine aircraft could not lock the opponent for a long time, the Darwin immediately stepped forward and ran away from the formation and chased the submarine in the direction of the escape.

past.

Pederson has no objection to the Darwin leaving the team. It is unrealistic to plan to kill the Chinese advanced submarines with just one SH-60. And if all the torpedoes of the Seahawks fail, then the professional anti-submarine frigate Darwin

Then you can finish it.

Sure enough, two Mk46 torpedoes were fired in succession but none of them hit the ship that escaped at high speed. Bentley also sighed on the Darwin: "The Chinese submarines are very fast, I wonder if we can also buy them from China.

Their power system builds Australia's own AIP submarine."

But before he could finish his thoughts, he suddenly felt his warship shaking a few times, and the navigator shouted: "Be careful of the impact!"

There was no strong explosion, it was like being gently touched by a lover, but everyone on the ship looked ugly because this was an exercise, and all the units used simulated bombs, if it was a real battle

, Then the few light touches just now are likely to lift this warship of more than 4,000 tons into mid-air.

Bentley picked up the communication phone on the ship with a dark face, and a message from the exercise director department came from it: "FFG04 Darwin hit a mine, was judged to be severely injured, and withdrew from the battle."

The same news also reached the ears of Captain Pederson, who was already full of confidence. He widened his eyes and said repeatedly: "That's impossible. The Darwin obviously received the enemy's audio signal!"

The combat staff next to him gently coughed reminded: "It is very likely that it is a self-aerial water-sounding bait launched by the 333 boat. This thing made by China is very long and can send interference information. It will be mistaken for the submarine being sailing. The Soviet Union

People have also put a lot of effort into this before."

"Damn it! The Chinese may be anywhere now!"

The combat staff denied: "No, even if the self-aerial water-sounding bait has a long range, it will not exceed a few kilometers. The Chinese are in our anti-submarine network, and must be on our left wing, which should make New Zealand

The ship left and scanned the sea area again."

Pederson nodded and said, "One ship is not enough. The British Royal Navy Amazon, our Berkeley, will move to the left. We must catch this mosquito!"

After receiving the order, the Three Kingdoms warships immediately gathered and formed a standard anti-submarine formation in a Y-shaped shape. Through its own sonar and anti-submarine helicopter sonar buoy, it opened a large diving hunting giant on the left side of the fleet like digging three feet into the ground.

Net. These experienced destroyers and frigates adopt relatively roundabout movement trajectories to avoid being successfully attacked by torpedoes launched by submarines that are raided at close range.

"Where is it? Where is it?" Captain Li Pitt of Amazon was so angry that he insisted on capturing the 039A submarine, revealing the weakness of the Chinese navy, and proving that the best warship was to give to a group of farmers

Even if you go to drive, you won’t change the tragic fact of their combat power.

But the more anxious he was to find the submarine, the less he could find her. The 333 boat was like an assassin in the middle of the night, hiding himself in the shadows, waiting for his next phone call.

More than twenty minutes later, the three anti-submarine ships still failed to find the naughty Chinese submarine, and their anxiety became more and more obvious. They tried to use a more detailed net to capture the 333 boat, but they still found nothing.

"Where is it?" Pederson also sweated on his head at this time. It is obvious that China's submarine not only has a good level of silentness, but also does not look like a novice in tactical use. By launching one

The sound of water bait attracted the Darwin to chase it and introduced it into the mine formation that he had arranged before. The anti-submarine ship is not a minesweeper. Its own magnetic characteristics are too obvious and it will be broken immediately after being triggered.

After successfully killing an escort ship, Pedersen and others felt a sense of pressure, like a thick dark cloud covering their heads.

Just when they were about to give up, the enemy showed up!

Four anti-ship missiles suddenly rushed out of the water, forming a fan, flying directly over the Ranger, which rushed to the core position of the fleet at a height less than 10 meters above the sea.

"Prepare for impact!" XO (executive officer, supervisory staff) on the aircraft carrier shouted, because these four anti-ship missiles were fired almost at the same time, and the flight altitude was too low, and even the dense array on the aircraft carrier was not in time.

Reaction, it was impossible to even aim at such a low anti-ship missile.

At the critical moment, these missiles suddenly exploded in the air, but one flew too close. After the explosion, some fragments hit the hull of the aircraft carrier. However, the impact was very small, and there was no big difference except for a little scratch.

hinder.

But this is a simulated bomb!

"The CV-61 Ranger was hit by four ASMs (anti-ship missiles), the flight deck was broken, the port side was in full swing, the hull was tilted, the combat capability was lost, and the speed was reduced to 11 knots." The director's department seemed to have

The voice was trembling, because the scene in front of them was simply unbelievable. A lonely submarine first blew and lured a frigate, and then hid in the blind spot of sonar echo, hiding itself in the park

On the seabed, it was not until several anti-submarine ships went far away that they slowly floated up, followed the fleet, and reached such a close position to the aircraft carrier.

Pederson slapped the table: "Bad bastard, your target should be the merchant ship behind us! Why attack us? Why!?"

However, his rationality has not yet been relaxed. He knew that just now, his left wing had an irrescue gap, which also gave the Chinese people room for submarine activities. In the end, the Chinese people chose a more suitable goal in close proximity to actual combat.
