It's night, the storm has stopped, the sea is calm, and the sky is filled with stars. Pray
A submarine was sailing southeastward on the water at a speed of about 5 knots. Behind it was a destroyer whose power unit was obviously damaged, resulting in a loss of a lot of speed. It was very large, with a visual displacement of 10,000 tons.
The two boats were faltering.
Less than two nautical miles behind these two ships was an older frigate with a tonnage of over 3,000 tons. The searchlight on the mast shone back and forth between the two ships in front, sailing with a high head.
If you look carefully, you will see that there is a large area of obvious damage on the bow shell of the submarine. It has obviously been damaged and has been treated by damage control. It can only sail on the surface and has lost its ability to submerge.
There was an obvious flaw in the stern of the 10,000-ton destroyer, and there were obvious signs of burning. It was located near the propulsion system, which caused heavy damage to the propulsion system. After emergency repairs, it resumed its slow operation.
.
The destination of these two ships is Guam, 1,500 nautical miles away.
On the bridge of the No. 53 ship, Li Hai folded his arms and watched the two unknown ships take difficult steps outside the no-navigation zone with a smile on his face. Pray
Just on the bridge class A, the soldiers of the electronic detection class were using electronic detection equipment to identify and verify the two unknown ships. By the way, they continued to enrich the various electronic signal characteristics of the two unknown ships and were able to detect
Naturally their communication couldn't be better.
Zhang Lei looked at Li Hai, lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment, then looked at Li Hai, thought again, and then left the bridge to go to the main battery squadron to look for Zhang Huo.
Li Hai glanced at Zhang Lei's back as he walked out of the cabin door, and shook his head slightly, with a helpless expression. He knew that his little move might not be able to be hidden from anyone who was interested, let alone a senior gunner like Zhang Lei.
"What did you say to Zhang Huo?" Chang Haizhou asked with a smile and blinked his eyes.
He only found out half an hour ago that when Li Hai left the sonar room, he did not go back to the bridge directly, but went to the main gun squad, obviously looking for Zhang Huo.
"He didn't fight well. I went to talk to him." Li Hai glanced at Chang Haizhou and said.
Chang Haizhou just smiled and didn't ask any more questions or say anything else.
It was a tense moment for anti-submarine warfare, and Li Hai went to talk to Zhang Huo at that time. It was impossible for Li Hai to do such a thing that put the cart before the horse.
Therefore, Lehi was lying.
In the main gun squad, Zhang Huo and the soldiers in his squad were talking excitedly. As they controlled their voices, they became even more emotional.
A total of five shells were fired in the previous shooting, with the first one hitting the bow of the unknown ship, and the remaining four hitting the stern of the unknown ship.
Their aiming point should be five hundred meters in front of the waterline on the starboard side of the unknown ship.
In other words, this time, the main gun squad fired incorrectly again, and the error value was surprisingly similar to the previous accidental damage to the fishing boat.
"Chief Gunner!" When a soldier saw Zhang Lei appearing, he immediately stood at attention and said hello. Pray
Zhang Lei pressed his hand to signal everyone to continue, and said to Zhang Huo, "Zhang Huo, come out for a moment."
Zhang Huo hesitated for a moment and said helplessly, "Yes!"
In the narrow corridor, Zhang Lei looked Zhang Huo up and down with a serious expression.
"Captain Gunner, I was wrong, I missed again." Zhang Huo decisively admitted his mistake, "I request punishment!"
Zhang Lei waved his hand, "Don't rush to punish me. Tell me honestly what's going on?"
"It's just that the shot missed. The weather conditions were too bad. There was an error in the aiming point when shooting. It's my responsibility." Zhang Huo stood in a standard military posture, with his hands pressed tightly together.
"You think I'm a fool!" Zhang Lei was furious, "Has anyone missed the target five times in a row? I don't know what your level is yet? Let me tell you, when you go back and review the shooting parameters, everything will be clear to you. Now you follow
It’s not too late for me to confess.” Pray
"Captain Gunner, you really missed the target. As you know, Chen Hongwei is the main force in precision shooting under low weather conditions, and my skills are average." Zhang Huo said without squinting.
Zhang Lei was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but he suppressed his anger and said, "Captain Li talked to you, don't think I don't know, he came down here wearing an iron hat, what are you doing nonsense with, a big-headed soldier!"
"I don't have it, Chief Gunner." Zhang Huo felt extremely aggrieved.
Waving his hands irritably, Zhang Lei cursed, "Get out."
Turn around and leave.
Zhang Huo looked at Zhang Lei's back, breathed a sigh of relief, and then sighed deeply.
When we returned to the bridge, the two unknown ships had already left the no-navigation zone, so the No. 53 ship no longer had to follow them and started cruising near the no-go line. Pray
Li Hai also discovered that the main threat came from the southeast. To the southeast was the Sulawesi Sea, which he was more familiar with. At that time, he flew the No. 037 J-7EGGHS fighter jet to perform combat missions in the Sulawesi Sea.
Watching the two unknown ships drifting away "depending on each other", Li Hai felt that the anger that had been buried in his chest for a long time dissipated a little.
"During the 2016 confrontation, I was still in college. Less than a month later, the instructor organized us to watch an audio-visual video. We saw the opponent's two aircraft carrier battle groups baring their teeth. My comrades and I were furious. At that time, we all made up our minds.
I am determined to dedicate everything I have, including my life, to the aircraft carrier cause of the People's Navy." Li Hai rubbed his face and said solemnly.
Chang Haizhou and Song Jianming looked at Li Hai and felt the same.
Ship No. 53 participated in the great confrontation that year. Chang Haizhou, Song Jianming and more than half of the people on the ship were witnesses.
The so-called big confrontation is actually a big exercise, a large-scale live-fire exercise in which the three major fleets gathered together.
Song Jianming said with emotion, "Back then, our ship was responsible for the submarine search and anti-submarine missions in the core circle. We witnessed with our own eyes the imperialist overlord aircraft carrier battle group. They were able to take off fighter jets at five-minute intervals and had absolute air superiority."
"Because of this major confrontation, the People's Navy deeply felt that the gap with the imperialist overlords was still very large, and it was determined to speed up the construction of larger and more aircraft carriers. It was under such an environment that our group of people joined the Flying Shark Squadron.
"Li Hai nodded slowly.
Chang Haizhou suddenly said, "Your superiors sent you here to be a trainee captain, maybe to train you according to the standards of an aircraft carrier commander."
"Probably not." Li Hai shook his head and said.
Chang Haizhou was puzzled.
He picked up the telescope and once again looked at the two unknown ships approaching the sea-sky line. When Li Hai put down the telescope, he smiled at Chang Haizhou and Song Jianming, "Aircraft carrier commanders focus on navigation. Aircraft carrier combat command usually
It requires rich experience in carrier-based fighter flight, and the traditional flight captain training model does not meet current requirements."
After thinking about it carefully, Chang Haizhou found that this was indeed the case. The concept of flying captains was quite popular in the 1980s and 1990s. The People's Navy held a training class for flying captains in Guangzhou with an exploratory and experimental nature. Most of the trainees that year were
They have all become the key commanders of the current People's Navy. Since then, this concept seems to have never been mentioned.
Li Hai said, "Having carrier-based fighter flying experience is enough. Therefore, if my superiors want me to become an aircraft carrier combat commander, there is no need to work in the surface ship force."
His voice was slightly deeper.
Song Jianming heard some grievances and doubts, and said, "It's good to sail."
"Captain, I'll take care of myself now that I've come. I'm in a good mood." Li Hai smiled and nodded.
Chang Haizhou said, "Let's have a small meeting."
Li Hai nodded in agreement, and the three of them left the bridge and went to the captain's cabin. In terms of personal use area, the captain had the largest area. Ships are the same as airplanes. The captain has supreme power on the ship, even the command and control agencies.
, under certain circumstances, the captain’s opinion must also be respected.
As the trainee captain, Li Hai is responsible for the command of the Spring Festival combat readiness patrol of the No. 53 ship. The supreme power lies in Li Hai's hands, even though Chang Haizhou has much richer relevant experience than him.
Therefore, of course, Li Hai moved into the captain's cabin that originally belonged to Liu Haikang without permission.
Li Hai knew what Chang Haizhou wanted to discuss in his request for a small meeting. In fact, he had not fully figured out how to explain the "missing" of the main gun squadron.
The incident happened suddenly, and Li Hai had no time to think about the follow-up. The fighter plane disappeared in a flash. He seized the momentary opportunity to fire a few shots and vented his anger. As the ace pilot of the Tailhook Club, this was what Li Hai subconsciously did on the battlefield.
Reaction.
explain?
Explain shit.
In the captain's cabin, none of the three people sat, and there was no place to sit except for the bed. Ship No. 53 is an old ship, and the crew's living space is inherently small. No matter how big the captain's cabin is, it can't be much bigger.
Li Hai took out Soft China from the drawer and smoked it for Chang Haizhou and Song Jianming, both of whom were old smokers, and then lit one himself for defense.
For Chang Haizhou, Song Jianming and others with an annual income of 30,000 to 400,000 yuan, soft China is nothing. They often smoke this cigarette. Pray
After taking two puffs, Chang Haizhou said, "Li Hai, it was too late beforehand. You should have talked to us afterwards so that we could know what happened when the main gun squad was firing."
Song Jianming also said, "Yes, we are a team."
He pointed at everyone.
Li Hai sighed lightly and said, "You don't know anything. This is all my business. This is good."
"What kind of words are you talking about?" Chang Haizhou frowned, "It's inappropriate for you to say this as a member of the team."
Li Hai took out the electric razor and shaved his beard. He had hardly slept in the past thirty hours, and his beard had grown very fast.
He blinked and said nothing.
Chang Haizhou frowned deeper and said, "What on earth are you thinking?"
Seeing Li Hai shaving his beard, Song Jianming subconsciously touched his chin. He was about to shave his beard as well. He asked, "What are you worried about? Zhang Lei doesn't care about the sand in his eyes. The main gun squad warned Zhu Yuan who was shooting
Nothing can be hidden from his eyes."
Li Hai looked at Chang Haizhou, then at Song Jianming, his eyes fixed on Chang Haizhou, and said, "Deputy Chang, it's time for you to be promoted to the official position this year."
Seeing Chang Haizhou about to speak, Li Hai waved his hand, "Listen to what I have to say. This matter is very simple. The main gun squad missed the target. When the Nanzhi spot check of live ammunition shooting was carried out before, the main gun squad had a record of missing.
, due to the limited weather conditions, it is reasonable to miss the target for the second time.”
After a pause, he said, "I didn't talk to Zhang Huo when I went to the main gun squad. I calibrated the shooting at Zhu Yuan. If it missed, the responsibility lies with me. It has nothing to do with the main gun squad, and it has nothing to do with you.
."
"Li Hai!" Chang Haizhou was angry, "I, Chang Haizhou, don't care about sesame and mung beans, and I don't care which commander's favorite general you are. Since you have arrived on the 53rd ship as the trainee captain, we people are
Tie them together. You can’t eat the meat and then pick up the pot and drink the soup!”
Where is the broth? What is certain is that there will only be whips. Pray
Li Hai slowly shook his head, his tone was very soft, but his attitude was clearly strong. He said, "I am the captain, the one who gives orders on this ship. This matter ends here. You don't need to talk about it anymore."
After saying that, he picked up the training cap, buckled it on his head and left the captain's cabin.
Chang Haizhou and Song Jianming looked at each other and were speechless for a moment.
"This kid, what does this kid mean?" Song Jianming smiled bitterly and shook his head, "He is so anxious to shoulder the responsibility, can he bear it?"
Chang Haizhou shook his head and said, "It's time for you to mention the deputy regiment. If you can't get up this time, it will be difficult... I guess Captain Hai Kang told him. He didn't want to implicate us."
Song Jianming was silent. After a long while, he suddenly said, "He just said that he was the one who calibrated the shooting of Zhu Yuan. When did he learn to shoot the main gun?"
After being startled, Chang Haizhou came to his senses, "Yes, when did he learn it?" Qi
"No matter what, he took it for granted. Once the board is struck, there will be no separation between you and me." Song Jianming was very calm.
Chang Haizhou thought for a while and asked, "How do you feel when you see the California and Vincennes escaping in confusion?"
"It's cool!" Song Jianming said subconsciously, and added, "It's very cool. I have to say that our trainee captain is not an ordinary person. He dares to fight, charge, and take responsibility. In the situation at that time, if it were Captain Hai Kang, he
You wouldn’t do that.”
Chang Haizhou smiled, spread his hands and said, "Isn't this enough? It's cool and exciting. It doesn't matter how many times I get slapped. It's all worth it. I'm mentally prepared. I'll write a job transfer report when I get back.
worst plans."
"We see the same thing." Song Jianming smiled and nodded.
What they are facing this year is a hurdle in their military careers. They are promoted from a battalion to a deputy regiment, and from a deputy regiment to a full regiment. These are not small hurdles. Once they have passed them, they will have a lot of prospects in the future. Otherwise, they will face the problem of years, so they just have to
You can choose between actively applying for job transfer and passive job transfer.
There is no doubt that if you are punished, your promotion will definitely be in vain... Pray
The USS California is a relatively new one among the Virginia-class nuclear-powered attack submarines. Given the heavy damage, it must be very distressing for the U.S. imperialists who spent more than a thousand dollars on a mug with military expenditures, right?
Li Hai thought this as he walked towards the bridge. The corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly. He was in a bright mood and decided to let the cooking team prepare a midnight snack later.
As for the Vincennes, it is an old rival. It often behaves excessively. It is obvious that Fei Fei is domineering and thinks that the No. 53 ship does not dare to do anything to it. It is better now because its legs were knocked off.
