In the command module of Great Wall 101, the red light was on, and Chen Meng stood behind the captain Wu Hai with his arms folded.
The members of Haite's first team were resting in the sailor cabin. Chen Meng was not sleepy at all and had been staying in the command cabin to pay attention to the situation.
The depth gauge shows that the submarine is currently 120 meters underwater, and more than 60 meters further down is the seabed.
Fortunately, it is a conventional submarine. If it were a nuclear-powered submarine with a huge body, it would be difficult to move around in such shallow waters.
Even for conventional submarines, such water depth is a great test for the commander.
Wu Hai is a representative figure of the younger generation of submarine commanders. You only need to look at one statistic - in his thirties, he has spent a total of 63 months at sea in the past seven years, had 13 blind dates, 13 failed attempts, and 13 blind dates.
He is called the Thirteenth Lang of the South China Sea.
The reason why Thirteenth Man of the South China Sea's blind date failed was that none of his blind dates could accept that his husband spent nearly ten months at sea every year.
There was once a girl who thought she could wait. After confirming her relationship with Nanhai Shisanlang, she was mentally prepared to accept everything. As a result, she fell in love with another man in the fifth month.
Later, Nanhai Thirteenth Lang found out that the other party could wait for him for five months because of his high income, which was much higher than that of officers of the same rank in other troops.
This girl was also the last one that Thirteenth Nanhai had a blind date with. From then on, Thirteenth Nanhai put his whole body and soul on the submarine and on his work.
His submarine is the conventional submarine with the highest attendance rate in the navy, and his submarine is also the unit that recruits talk about with enthusiasm, also known as the monk boat.
The officers and soldiers who work on his submarines can't expect to have a personal life...
Perhaps because of this attribute, Wu Hai and Chen Meng are very opportunistic. They are both old bachelors in the army who only want to fight in their eyes, hearts and minds.
They were only a few years apart, one was a major and the other was a colonel, but they seemed to get along with each other as comrades in the same class. Chen Meng had made many meritorious deeds, and his military rank had been promoted twice every four years. He was more like an old bachelor in the army who had "gone crazy".
It was deathly quiet in the command cabin, and people's breathing could be clearly heard.
Modern submarines have various means of combat and more means of situational awareness, but the nature of the combat style has not changed much.
Discovering the enemy first and opening fire first are always the rules of victory.
Wu Hai looked at the sonar room, and the sonar operator shook his head. He still didn't find the target, and the other party did the same, otherwise they would have used attack sonar long ago.
When Chen Meng saw this, he was once again disappointed. This meant that the submarine had to continue to maintain covert speed and maneuver slowly, let alone float to the surface for communication.
"What we have to fight for now is patience." Wu Hai said in a deep voice.
After the encounter, both sides took similar evasive actions almost at the same time, so both sides lost track of the other.
Chen Meng strongly felt that Wu Hai had met a very powerful opponent, which was rare for this captain with a perfect level of excellence.
"If our ship conducts a submarine attack, will it accidentally injure us?" Chen Meng asked.
Wu Hai smiled and said, "That's for sure. Torpedoes and depth bombs don't have identification friend or foe systems. Don't worry, if that happens, we will surface urgently."
The problem of identification of friend or foe on submarines has always existed.
"The young captain of the 53rd ship will probably not take any drastic actions, so don't worry," Wu Hai said.
Chen Meng remembered some of Li Hai's previous instructions, frowned and said, "He is not a good person."
"It's impossible to really carry out deep bombing. This has never happened before," Wu Hai said.
Chen Meng hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "I hope so."
If the two of them knew that Li Hai had almost used up all his spare depth bombs, they would not have come to such a conclusion so easily!
Once the No. 53 ship discovers an underwater target before the Great Wall No. 101 boat, Li Hai will definitely use depth bombs to attack it. If the Great Wall No. 101 boat is nearby, there is a possibility of being accidentally injured by one of its own people!
To avoid this, it is necessary to float up for communication positioning.
The No. 53 ship was indeed searching this way. After the new youth arrived, they started searching for submarines from the other side of Dolan Island. What came was a new youth who had been in combat effectiveness for two years and had participated in escorts. Their combat capabilities were at the highest level.
Peak state.
At five o'clock in the morning, a group of light appeared where the sea and sky meet on the east side of Alasu Sea. The sun was rising, and the weather had improved greatly.
Song Jianming came over and said, "Captain, it's time for you to rest."
Li Hai had not slept for nearly thirty hours and was in a state of excitement.
"I'm not sleepy." Li Hai said, staring at the chart on the combat table and frowning, "Great Wall 101 must have encountered an unexpected situation. Captain Wu should know that he must get in touch with our ship, and the submarine command also
No news from them."
Song Jianming said, "Laowu is a person who can carry things clearly. He must have encountered a problem."
After hesitating for a moment, he said, "When attacking a submarine, you must pay attention to identification to avoid accidental damage."
His worries were exactly the same as those of Wu Hai and Chen Meng.
Li Hai naturally knew it, he said, "There are still two-thirds of the deep bombs in stock, so we have to use them sparingly."
The combat readiness duty has just started during the Spring Festival, and the No. 53 ship is still patrolling outside for at least three weeks. The use of ammunition needs to be planned.
Song Jianming shook his head helplessly and said, "We have never encountered ammunition inventory problems before."
Li Hai heard what he meant - the previous combat readiness police patrols only used a small amount of ammunition, and sometimes the combat readiness police patrols only carried half or one-third of the base ammunition.
Who would have thought that if he encountered Li Hai, who was ready to fire at every turn, Song Jianming even suspected that if Li Hai thought it was necessary, he would use millions of anti-ship missiles or torpedoes.
"You, you used to be in the Flying Shark Army, were you like this?" Song Jianming asked with a gesture.
Li Hai saw Song Jianming's expression clearly and understood what he wanted to ask.
"The Flying Shark Troop, like other troops, has strict regulations on the use of weapons and ammunition." Li Hai could only answer this.
He could only answer vaguely.
Song Jian knew it was interesting and did not continue to ask, but changed the topic, "Today is New Year's Eve."
Li Hai was stunned for a moment, then came back to his senses, "Yes, it's New Year's Eve, and it's time to celebrate the New Year. How did you spend it before?"
"We have a dinner party, extra meals all day on New Year's Day, an afternoon tea party, some group worship activities, and free activities in the evening. It's almost the same as celebrating the New Year at the base," Song Jianming said.
"It's the Chinese New Year. What do the soldiers want to do most? Reunite with their families, make phone calls, and make video calls." Li Hai said with emotion, "But the current situation does not allow it. Tonight's dinner will be held as normal, let the kitchen do it
A few good dishes, other activities are temporarily canceled.”
Song Jianming nodded, "Okay, I'll notify you right away."
We are now in a level 1 combat readiness state and other activities are not suitable for holding.
Chang Haizhou's call came from the internal communication channel, "Captain, the sonar has detected suspicious signals and is screening them."
"Is it a submarine?" Li Hai pressed the intercom and asked.
There are many large fishes in the Alazu Sea, such as whales, sharks, etc., and the noise produced by their activities is often similar to that of submarines. One of the most basic tasks of the sonar department is to compare the noise of these fish activities with the noise emitted by submarines and their sonar
distinguish signal characteristics.
Chang Haizhou said, "The signal is very weak and is being screened."
Everyone is very nervous. Under normal circumstances, the sonar room would not report before completing the screening.
