The development of the Japanese Navy's submarine technology has gone astray in the past, such as equipping naval guns and carrying fighter aircraft. It is said that after the emergence of Koizumi Miichiro, under his influence, the Japanese Navy's submarine technology should be on the track of normal development and have quality. In fact, Koizumi did make efforts in this direction. However, due to the rapid rise of the Pacific Fleet and its victory in the Timor Sea naval battle, Koizumi failed to persist under the pressure of reality. Forget about the correct path, but he went the extra mile and created the Min-02. Objectively speaking, from the perspective of performance, technical parameters and practicality, the Min-02 can be called a classic design in the history of submarines. However, it was invented by the Xuebing Army. When it developed submarine-launched torpedoes and began to develop in the direction of silence, the heterogeneity of the Min-02 suddenly became apparent.
Whether it is Min 02 or Min 03, because it can carry fifty special attack aircraft and special attack torpedoes, it seems to have very powerful attack power. However, these unprofessional weapon combinations have seriously affected the sailing speed of these two submarines. In addition, ,In the field of illumination sonar, the Xuebing Army’s technology is far ahead of the Japanese army. The result is that a little gap in design concepts leads to a huge difference in the combat power of the two sides.
A closer look shows that the Japanese suffered a lot from the Xuebing Army's submarine force. For example, the Kaga aircraft carrier was sunk by two Song-class submarines led by Xu Kai. As for the Japanese merchant ships that were sunk by the Ming-class and Song-class submarines, I don’t even know how many people there are,
Ordinarily, after suffering so many losses, the Japanese should be wary. In fact, because the Timor Sea naval battle academy showed off a more modern weapon, ship-to-ship missiles, and the Pacific Fleet submarines The troops did not perform very well in this battle. In addition, the submarine force of the Yamato aircraft carrier fleet played only a soy sauce role in this battle. Therefore, not only did Yamamoto Isoroku ignore this factor, Even Koizumi Minichiro, who should have a sufficient understanding of the importance of submarines, did not become sufficiently vigilant.
The current status of Yamamoto and Koizumi in the Japanese Navy is equivalent to the status of Ouyang Yun and Chen Shichang in the Pacific Fleet. Under their influence, Tsukahara 243 will naturally not pay too much attention to the submarine force of the Pacific Fleet. , when he received a report from the commander of his anti-submarine force, Major Uro Nakamura, and learned that the Chinese submarine force was less than five kilometers away from him, he finally took a serious look at this threat and gave Nakamura an order to let him He led his troops to form a sniper line and asked him not to spare depth charges.
Tsukahara 243 still has a certain understanding of submarine tactics. He understands that the threat of submarines lies in their ability to lurk and launch surprise attacks. Similarly, he also knows the correct response method, as long as the anti-submarine forces on the side pay enough attention. , sniping them out of the torpedo range, then even if the opponent cannot be severely damaged, this threat can be eliminated. Now, what he considers most is to preserve the strength of the fleet to the maximum extent, so he thinks that being able to do this is enough. Well, without the aircraft carrier, how can the Chinese fight with themselves for control of the Pacific Ocean in the future? After China recovers its strength, it will be a simple matter to solve these submarines.
It cannot be said that Tsukahara's understanding and arrangement were wrong. He was destined to suffer a loss simply because he did not know that the Xuebing R&D Institute had developed a large-capacity battery, which enabled the Song-class submarine to now have the ability to silently submerge.
Why did Xu Kai have the confidence to fight a surprise attack that would make his unit famous all over the world? It was because he knew that he could break through the Japanese blockade with silent stealth and achieve a surprise victory.
If I have to make a metaphor, the submarine force is like the assassins in a certain classic online game of later generations. Although they have low blood volume and weak protection, their attack power is also very scary, so as long as they can sneak close to the target, they can hit it with one strike. , giving the enemy a fatal blow,
Almost as soon as Nakamura Nohiro's men discovered them, Xu Kai used active sonar illumination to issue an attack order to his men. The attack order was passed on. One by one, the Song-class submarines shut down their engines and started their electric propulsion systems. , in the sonar world of the Wuwei aircraft carrier fleet, the Japanese sonar soldiers were suddenly surprised to find that the enemy target they had monitored a moment ago suddenly disappeared. The relevant report was immediately passed to Nakamura's ears, and Nakamura was also puzzled. , after he personally monitored it for about five minutes, he took off the receiver and reported to Tsukahara that he had lost the message from the China submarine. Maybe the China people noticed something was wrong and started to escape. Of course, it is not ruled out that the China people collectively stopped and fished in place. possible,
One of the core tactics of submarines is to arrive at a certain sea area before the target, then stop and lurk there, relying on passive sonar to wait for the target to take the bait. Nakamura and Tsukahara are both familiar with this trick, and Tsukahara can't think of any other tactics. Possibility, so he recognized Nakamura's judgment and ordered: "Continue to monitor, if the Chinese want to fish, then let them fish. Hmm, after we survive the attack of the Chinese aviation force, we can consider giving them a surprise."
Tsukahara did not regard Xu Kai's tribe as a threat before. Now, the large number of golden eagles and Chinese sturgeons still existing above the fleet are a thorn in his side. In order to cover Xu Kai's tribe, Wang Hai and his HNA students performed very hard. , for this reason, they even launched several strong attacks, even at the expense of nearly twenty Chinese sturgeons.
Time passed by, and when Tsukahara 243 was attracted by a new round of offensive from the naval aviation unit of the Xuebing Army, Xu Kai's submarine began to enter the attack mode, quietly, one torpedo after another. Ejected out, and then quickly rushed towards their respective targets. The students of Xu Kai's department were quite bold. They relied on passive sonar to lock the location of the main Japanese army group formation, and then maintained a deeper depth to approach the target, and then entered the optimal range. Later, it suddenly surfaced and launched a surprise attack.
The electric propulsion system equipped by the Song-class submarine is extremely deceptive, and the outer shell newly developed by the Military Research and Development Institute has considerable ability to absorb sound waves. Therefore, until Xu Kai and the others started to launch torpedoes, the Japs under Nakamura's command Only then did the sonar soldiers detect the anomaly. Immediately, the public channel of the Japanese anti-submarine force became chaotic. The Japanese sonar soldiers who had discovered something reported to the police one after another. Nakamura's ears were immediately filled with panicked sounds.
"Report, an abnormal sound was detected in a certain direction, suspected to be a torpedo propeller."
"Report, there is an abnormal noise in a certain direction..."
... Nakamura was also panicked. As a veteran submariner, he knew all too well what it meant to detect the sound of a torpedo propeller at this distance. He ignored politeness and self-esteem. He said angrily in the chat Tsukahara shouted: "It's serious, the Chinese submarine has rushed in, be careful to dodge..."
