The development of the Japanese Navy's submarine technology has gone astray, 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 a qualitative improvement.
Improvement. In fact, Koizumi did make efforts in this direction. However, due to the rapid rise of the Pacific Fleet and victory in the Timor Sea naval battle, Koizumi failed to persist due to pressure from reality. He failed to persist.
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 acquired submarine-launched torpedoes and began to develop in the direction of silence, the heterogeneity of the Min-02 suddenly became apparent.
Be it Min-02 or Min-03, they seem to have very powerful attack power because they can carry fifty special attack aircraft and special attack torpedoes. However, these unprofessional weapon combinations have seriously affected the navigation 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 at the hands of the Xuebingjun 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 of them there are.
Ordinarily, after suffering so many losses, the Japanese should be vigilant. In fact? Because the Timor Sea naval battle academy showed off a more modern weapon, ship-to-ship missiles, while the Pacific Fleet submarines
The troops did not perform very well in this battle, and the submarine force of the Yamato aircraft carrier fleet played only a soy sauce role in this battle. Therefore, not only Yamamoto Isoroku ignored this factor.
Koizumi Minichiro, a person who should have a sufficient understanding of the importance of submarines, actually did not have enough vigilance.
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 in the Pacific Fleet. He is in
After receiving a report from the commander of his anti-submarine force, Major Uro Murano, and learning that the Chinese submarine force was less than five kilometers away from us, he finally took a serious look at this threat and gave Murano an order to lead his troops to form a sniper attack force.
line, and asked him not to spare the depth charges.
Tsukahara 243 still has a certain understanding of submarine tactics, and 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 of our own side pay enough attention,
Sniping them out of the torpedo range can eliminate this threat even if the opponent cannot be severely damaged. 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.
——With no aircraft carriers, how can the Chinese compete with themselves for control of the Pacific Ocean in the future? After China recovers its strength, it will be a simple matter to deal with 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 Research and Development Institute had developed a large-capacity battery, which enabled the Song-class submarine to now have the ability to silently submerge.
Why Xu Kai had the confidence to fight a surprise attack that would make his unit famous all over the world 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 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 strike with one blow. , giving the enemy a fatal blow.
Almost as soon as Murano Uro's men discovered them, Xu Kai used active sonar to issue an attack order to his men. The attack order was passed on, and one Song-class submarine after another turned off its engines and started its electric propulsion system. Then, 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 Cun Er, who was also puzzled. He After personally monitoring for about five minutes, I took off the receiver and reported to Tsukahara that the message from the China submarine was lost. 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 the machine and fished in place.
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. Both Mura and Tsukahara are very familiar with this trick. Tsukahara can't think of any other tactics. Possibility, so he recognized the village's judgment and ordered: "Continue to monitor, if the Chinese people want to fish, then let them do it. Hum, after we survive the attack of the Chinese aviation force, we can consider giving them a little 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 his eyesores and flesh thorns. In order to cover Xu Kai's tribe, Wang Hai and his HNA students performed very well. He tried his best and even launched several strong attacks for this purpose, even at the expense of nearly twenty Chinese sturgeons.
Time passed by, and when Tsukahara 243 was attracted by the new trend of the naval aviation unit of the Xuebing Army, Xu Kai's submarine began to enter the attack state. Silently, one torpedo after another was ejected Go out, and then fly towards the targets they have locked. The students of Xu Kai's department are quite bold. They rely on passive sonar to lock the location of the main formation of the Japanese army, and then maintain a deeper depth to approach the target. After entering the optimal range , then suddenly surfaced, and then 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 Xuexing R&D Institute has considerable ability to absorb sound waves. Therefore, until Xu Kai and the others started to launch torpedoes, the Japs from the village headquarters Only then did the sonar soldiers detect an abnormality. 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, and the ears of the village 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..."
...Muraya panicked. As a veteran submariner, he knew all too well what it meant to detect the sound of a torpedo propeller at this distance. Regardless of politeness and respect for superiors and inferiors, he said angrily to Tsukahara shouted: "It's serious, the Chinese submarine has rushed in, be careful to dodge..."
