Chapter 240 The situation on Dolan Island is getting out of control
"Excluded, it's a large fish."
Not long after, the latest report came from Chang Haizhou.
Li Hai was slightly disappointed.
No matter what kind of underwater submarine is discovered, as long as it is discovered, it will have the opportunity to defeat the enemy first and gain an advantage in the submarine confrontation. The key lies in discovery.
Unfortunately, what was found was a large fish.
"Keep the submarine search route and continue heading southwest." Li Hai gave the order.
"Maintain the submarine search route." Song Jianming repeated the instruction to confirm that the helmsman received the instruction accurately.
The main helmsman, Chen Yun, was resting in the cabin. After a ground battle, the sailors involved in the operation basically needed to take a breather. The person steering the ship at this time was Chen Yun's squad leader, who was also her master and was an experienced helmsman.
Wu Hai didn't know that the No. 53 ship was searching for their position, and Li Hai didn't know that the search direction at this time was the area where the Great Wall No. 101 ship was located. He didn't even know that the Great Wall No. 101 was in a position where the enemy couldn't move and I couldn't move.
A state of carefully searching for each other's traces.
The new youth's search is destined to be fruitless, because at this moment, there is only one unknown submarine in the waters of Dolan Island, which is the one that the Great Wall No. 101 encountered.
No one knew the specific model of this unknown submarine. After Wu Hai and the others encountered each other, the other party quickly took concealment measures. The sonar room was unable to obtain enough sonar signals and noise sources to identify the model.
Wu Hai did not know that his opponent was the quietest submarine in the world, and its comprehensive combat performance greatly exceeded that of my country's active submarines.
What Wu Hai also didn't know was that if he hadn't been experienced and quick to respond, he would have been locked by the opponent's sonar during the encounter and would have been at a disadvantage in this underwater confrontation.
The underwater confrontation of submarines is a bit like a blind man touching an elephant, a bit like two visually impaired people touching each other. Whoever touches the other person first, whoever feels the other person clearly first will occupy the upper ground.
The water depth in the waters off Dolan Island is not deep enough to hide two submarines in the same area. In other words, it is only a matter of time before the No. 53 ship discovers the Great Wall 101 and the unknown advanced submarine.
Unless there is a winner in the confrontation between Great Wall 101 and the unknown advanced submarine.
At Musa Air Station, hundreds of kilometers away, Xue Zhengrong returned to the flight center and landed back at the duty center. The correspondent hurried over to report, "Stationmaster, the duty chief of the ship division has called and wants to speak to you personally."
The construction of Musa Air Station is still in progress. Xue Zhengrong concurrently serves as the station commander of Musa Air Station as the captain of the Independent Flying Group. This true disciple of the legendary Air Force pilot Li Zhan has been stationed at Musa Air Station.
That is the Forgotten Reef.
The commander of the ship's watch did not use the duty phone, but made a call using a confidential communication line, explaining that the matter was serious and urgent.
Xue Zhengrong hurriedly ran to the communications room.
Musa Air Station is an important communication relay station in the southern part of the South China Sea. It is integrated with the medium and long-range radar system deployed here. It not only provides communication support and navigation services for our military's aircraft and ships, but also provides navigation services for civil aviation.
The line used in the secure communication room is pulled from the communication relay station and is a high-level command line.
The frequency of use of this line is extremely low, so at this time, the ship's commander on duty wanted to personally talk to him on this line, which surprised him.
Picking up the microphone, Xue Zhengrong said concisely and to the point, "Hello, chief, I am Xue Zhengrong."
"Zhengrong, I am Gao Changming." The leader on duty said solemnly.
"Deputy Chief of Staff Gao, please give instructions."
It turned out to be Colonel Gao Changming, deputy chief of staff of the fleet.
Gao Changming said, "The situation on Dolan Island is tense, and our reinforcement fleet will not be able to get there for a while. The only one who can quickly support the Dolan Island area now is your independent flying group."
Why not give the order directly but first communicate with Xue Zhengrong through a confidential line?
Because the situation of the Independent Flying Group is not optimistic.
The construction of Musa Air Station and the deployment of related troops have been slow, and factors other than the troops are affecting this.
The Musha Independent Flying Group is the southernmost aviation unit, and its tasks are becoming more and more heavy. On the one hand, its strength is stretched thin, and on the other hand, there are increasing daily tasks. Xue Zhengrong and others have been working under a high load.
It was precisely with this in mind that the ship's commander did not issue a direct order.
Xue Zhengrong understood what Deputy Chief of Staff Gao meant. Logically speaking, he should not hesitate, but he had to consider the air crew and ground crew under his command. Everyone's mental and physical strength was on the verge of collapse.
Just when he was hesitating, Gao Changming said, "Considering the actual situation of your department, the ship company has reported to the Supreme Command for approval and decided to strengthen a flight squadron to the department. Now tell me, what can the ground handling department of Musa Air Station do?
Can’t we protect the J-15 fighter jets?”
As the deputy chief of staff of the ship, Gao Changming should not ask such a question. If he does not know the support capabilities of Musa Air Station, it is his dereliction of duty as deputy chief of staff.
However, the actual situation is that Musa Air Station is training to support various types of navy aircraft, and so far no ship has been reported to have reported to the ship.
Gao Changming did not adopt a public-to-public approach, but used this personal-to-personal conversation to understand the situation, which showed that the situation on Dolan Island was very serious, and the two sides were most likely fighting for a time difference of several hours.
In naval battles, some tactical maneuvers are usually measured in days. This is caused by the extremely slow speed of the ship and the extremely wide combat area. The time difference of a few hours is a very small time difference, compared with air combat that is often measured in minutes and seconds.
Completely different.
The ship company wants to deploy a J-15 squadron to Musa Air Station, which means that the combat deployment is about to be implemented and we must race against time.
Xue Zhengrong thought for a while and answered decisively, "Senior Deputy, our station has the ability to protect J-15 fighters, I guarantee it."
"Okay, strengthen the past four J-15s led by the Party for the People, as well as Zhan Yuntian, Zhao Feiyan, and Ma Da. The first three comrades have worked at Musa Air Station, so you are familiar with them." Gao Changming said.
"It turns out it's them." Xue Zhengrong was slightly relieved, and his tense nerves were relieved because he was about to see his old friends.
"Xiao Xue, what you are facing is very likely to be several times our own air power. You must be mentally prepared. It will be difficult for the fleet to receive new reinforcements in a short period of time." Gao Changming said in a deep voice.
Xue Zhengrong smelled an unusual sense of solemnity and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Gao, at least you made me feel confident."
The purpose of using this line to give instructions to Xue Zhengrong was to explain some situations to him. Gao Changming said in a deep voice, "There is sufficient intelligence that a strike group of the Anglesan pirates is heading towards the waters of Dolan Island.
They sail very quickly."
After a pause, Gao Changming said, "We have a power vacuum in the direction of Dolan Island. Currently, there are only two frigates and one submarine there. One of the frigates is still an old-fashioned ship, and the power is seriously insufficient."
Speaking of this, Gao Changming's tone revealed deep helplessness and a desire for more new ships and fighters.
The final analysis is that the power of the People's Navy is far from meeting the growing needs!
"Our main force has been contained." Gao Changming said helplessly.
Xue Zhengrong remembered that the main ships of the three major fleets were conducting regular actual combat exercises in the Western Pacific waters. They were obviously restrained by the main armed strike group of the Angles-Saxon pirates.
This is a silent confrontation over the vast sea area from the Western Pacific to the South Pacific.
"Mr. Gao, I understand." Xue Zhengrong said solemnly.
Gao Changming said, "The commander of the No. 53 ship is Li Hai. As a trainee captain, he commands the ship to perform the Spring Festival war readiness patrol mission. He is your old partner."
"Li Hai? How could it be him!" Xue Zhengrong was extremely surprised.
Gao Changming said, "Not long ago, he was transferred to the 11th Frigate Group, and the superiors intend to train him to become a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier commander."
"That's great. I knew he would never be silent like this." Xue Zhengrong was very excited and felt happy for his old comrade and partner from the bottom of his heart.
"Organize the ground crew to be prepared. The J-15 Squadron will transfer to your location immediately," Gao Changming said.
"yes!"
After the call ended, Xue Zhengrong felt as if he had been given a shot of chicken blood.
Since Li Hai and others returned to the Flying Shark Force after completing their temporary assignments, Forgotten Reef has become Musa Air Station. However, objectively speaking, after losing several elites, the combat capability of the Independent Flying Group has declined.
Now these old partners are reunited for an urgent confrontation mission, making Xue Zhengrong full of confidence.
What surprised him was that Li Hai actually became the captain of the frigate. The frigate he had just supported was commanded by Li Hai.
"What a wonderful fate." Xue Zhengrong said with emotion.
The communications staff officer in the confidential communications room knew Li Hai and asked curiously, "Xue Da, why did you say this?"
"The captain of ship 53 is Li Hai." Xue Zhengrong said.
It took the communications staff a while to react, "Is it our former captain Li Hai?"
"That's him." Xue Zhengrong smiled and nodded.
The communications staff officer was surprised and said, "Oh my God, how could he fly a plane and fly a frigate? He really can do anything in the sky or the sea, what a god!"
"He may be a new generation legend of the Navy." Xue Zhengrong sighed, then turned serious, "There will be more traffic on your side, so be prepared to endure it."
"Don't worry Xue Da, I won't leave the communications room for food, accommodation, or food," the communications staff officer said.
After leaving the confidential communications room, Xue Zhengrong went directly to the ground support squadron and immediately started preparations to protect the J-15 squadron that was coming over.
What Gao Changming did not say clearly was that the situation on Dolan Island was in danger of getting out of control. This was the ship's commander's helpless move - to transfer a squadron from the aircraft carrier Leonin, which was thousands of miles away.
Musha Air Station to strengthen air support to the waters of Dolan Island.
This is already the maximum range of the J-15 after taking off from the mothership.
