Ship No. 53 immediately conducted a review and investigation into the incident of the live ammunition firing.
The results came out quickly, proving that Zhang Huo was more or less aggrieved. First of all, in weather conditions with poor visibility, radar and lasers will be affected. Zhang Huo has done a good job in this area. The main gun squad
There were no other operational errors.
The direct cause of the deflection was the sudden large wave, which caused the ship to swing to a large extent at the moment of firing, destroying the aiming point of the main gun, and thus the deflection.
Direct-aiming shooting in high sea conditions is very difficult.
However, no matter what, once this incident came out, an internal report and criticism were inevitable. For Li Hai, this was a moderate "black spot" in his military career.
Chang Haizhou said, "If Chen Hongwei was in charge, this problem would never have occurred."
Li Hai agreed with Chang Haizhou. The reason why he was a master gunner was that he had mastered shooting skills that others had not mastered. Being able to shoot directly and accurately under high sea conditions was Chen Hongwei's unique skill.
Undoubtedly, Ship No. 53 handed in a blank paper in this random test in the South Index, and it was worse than the ordinary blank paper.
Morale has been hit, and it is understandable that the rank-and-file soldiers have some complaints about the trainee captain and the main gun squad.
As the gunnery commander, Zhang Lei is the first and directly responsible person.
After training in the main gun squad for a full hour, he returned to the cockpit with a cold face, but did not see Li Hai.
"Old Chang."
As soon as Zhang Lei opened his mouth, Chang Haizhou patted him on the shoulder and said, "Nanzhi knows our situation, and the superiors can understand."
"It's strange that you can understand." Zhang Lei shook his head and said, "Gao Haikuang won't fight anymore? I can beat you to death in a corner with just one sentence."
Chang Haizhou was silent for a while, pointed to Duolan Island, and said, "Protecting the barbarians is the main task, which is understandable."
Zhang Lei couldn't help but feel angry, "I only found out about Chen Hongwei's vacation a few hours before the voyage."
Chang Haizhou glanced at Zhang Lei and said nothing.
Zhang Lei said in a deep voice, "You are so self-righteous. Ship 53 has maintained excellent results for so long, and it was just ruined by him."
"Old Zhang, be careful what you say." Chang Haizhou glared at Zhang Lei.
Zhang Lei shook his head and asked, "Where did he go?"
"Sonar room." Chang Haizhou said.
Zhang Lei suddenly became energetic, "Is there anything going on?"
Only then did he realize that the boat was circling Dolan Island.
Chang Haizhou said, "He judged that the Vincennes was acting as a cover, and the real person sneaking in for reconnaissance might be a submarine."
After a pause, he said, "Old Zhang, he used to fly a Flying Shark, a dancer on the tip of the knife, and served as the captain of the flight group at Musa Air Station. He is not a newcomer."
"But he is not familiar with our surface ship force." Zhang Lei said.
Chang Haizhou shook his head, "We often interact with each other, and I have accumulated relevant knowledge before. In a word, the superiors will not let a stupid young man lead a frigate."
After thinking for a while, Zhang Lei said, "I'll go take a look."
Ship No. 53 is an old ship. The position in front of the main gun on the front deck still retains depth charges. It is a six-barreled depth charge launcher similar to the army rocket launcher. In the naval exercises many years ago, the most shocking thing was the front deck of multiple destroyers and frigates.
The scene of continuous firing of depth charges.
This kind of depth charge is practical and cost-effective. This weapon was mostly canceled starting from the New Youth frigates and Aegis destroyers equipped with phased array radars.
Here is the Type 87 rocket depth charge launcher, which is the standard anti-submarine weapon for surface ships of the People's Navy. Even the Liaoning is equipped with it.
Sonar is under the control of the radar department, and rocket depth bombs are under the control of the gunnery department.
The anti-submarine warfare capabilities of the No. 53 ship are not weak. The ship is even equipped with a towed sonar, and the ship-based helicopters also have submarine search and anti-submarine capabilities.
This may be one of the reasons why ship No. 53 has undertaken a large number of combat missions.
Zhang Lei came to the sonar room, looked up and saw two people standing behind the sonar soldier in the small space, Li Hai and Radar Chang Wan Liyang.
He could only stand outside the hatch.
Wan Liyang turned to look at Zhang Lei and nodded slightly.
Li Hai, on the other hand, didn't seem to notice anyone coming, focusing on the sonar display screen. Modern sonar is becoming more and more powerful. It uses electronic technology to convert signals and present them on the display screen, which is clear at a glance, but in the final analysis, it still depends on the sonar soldiers.
ears.
Engineers and sonar are often seen in these two departments, first-class sergeants, that is, generals among soldiers. Because these two positions require continuous accumulation of a lot of experience to meet combat needs, people will not be released easily.
The person currently operating the sonar is Wang Zhong, the squad leader of the sonar squad. Together with Wang Fugui of the engineering squad, they are also known as the second king. They are the big and small kings of the No. 53 ship.
Li Hai suddenly grabbed the microphone and called softly, "Mr. Chang, two in and one in."
"Two in, one in, received."
Zhang Lei suddenly looked at Wan Liyang, and Wan Liyang shook his head.
Logically speaking, Li Hai couldn't control the situation beyond the radar, but he did so.
Wang Zhong put on his "earphones" and concentrated on identifying the noise under the water. He couldn't hear Li Hai's voice, but he clearly felt that the speed of the ship had slowed down. He couldn't help but look back and found that it was in the hands of the young trainee captain.
Grabbing the microphone, I was a little surprised.
Li Hai pointed at a position on the display screen with his finger. Wang Zhong thought for a while, nodded towards Li Hai, and slowly adjusted the direction of the listening.
The speed of two-in-one is very slow, and its own noise is relatively low, which is convenient for sonar listening.
The sonar room is very quiet, probably the quietest cabin in the entire ship. Zhang Lei even thinks he can hear his own heartbeat. He rarely comes to the sonar room. This place is not open to everyone, and the level of confidentiality is relatively high.
.
At this time, Zhang Lei actually felt like a real battle.
The Vincennes rushed over in a swaggering manner to cover the underwater submarine?
Why do you think so?
Zhang Lei thought about it carefully and found that Li Hai's judgment was not unfounded. The Vincennes was too hasty when it evacuated, which was abnormal. Moreover, according to the report from the Falcon Team, the Vincennes did not leave and come back. It was indeed a direct flight.
Headed towards the Philippines.
He suddenly thought that this sea area has always been the high seas where multinational navies frequently compete. Isn't it normal for American submarines to appear?
"Director Zhang, prepare for deep bombing."
Just as Zhang Lei was analyzing it carefully, Li Hai suddenly turned his head and said this to him.
Zhang Lei didn't react.
"Old Zhang." Wan Liyang saw Zhang Lei still in a daze and shouted again.
Zhang Lei suddenly came back to his senses, "Yes, prepare for deep bombing!"
He turned around and was about to leave, but suddenly stopped and looked at Li Hai in surprise.
Li Hai nodded in confirmation, and at the same time called Chang Haizhou through the microphone, "Mr. Chang, the anti-submarine department is ready."
Zhang Lei did not hesitate anymore. Even though he was 10,000 shocked, it did not affect him and he ran up to the cockpit, that is, the command room.
An order is an order, even if you don’t understand it, you must carry it out!
Wang Zhong locked onto an unidentified submarine, which was approaching the coastal waters of Dolan Island, which is an absolute no-navigation zone.
This is the reason why Le Hai issued the combat order.
