A 100mm caliber high-explosive shell burst out from the muzzle of the main gun. At the moment of shooting, the aiming point and the impact point formed a magical coincidence.
This 100 mm caliber warhead was fired downwards and entered the water at a distance of about 0.8 nautical miles. Due to the resistance of the sea water, the warhead stagnated significantly after it completely entered the water.
Then, the warhead hit the torpedo warhead heading towards the No. 53 ship.
The warhead using a collision/proximity fuse explodes, and the instantaneous water pressure generated by the explosion detonates the torpedo warhead.
The torpedo exploded, and the huge explosion sent huge water splash upwards in all directions. Ship No. 53, which was 0.8 nautical miles away, felt a strong shock.
Li Hai stared at the exploded torpedo in stunned silence, and immediately concluded that direct fire was responsible.
If a torpedo launched by one's own side hits the incoming torpedo, there will definitely be two huge explosions.
"Successful!" Someone shouted from the bridge.
Everyone suddenly came back to their senses and couldn't help but jump up and pump their fists and cheer loudly!
Many people realized that they had created a miracle.
Everyone looked at Li Hai in unison, and only at this moment did they realize that from the discovery of the torpedo to the response, every battle order issued by the captain was extremely precise, and there was no sloppiness in the whole process.
During this process, if Li Hai hesitated for a moment, he would most likely miss the opportunity.
The success of using direct fire to shoot incoming torpedoes in shallow water is by no means as simple as luck. Li Hai correctly judged the depth of the incoming torpedo, and the parameters obtained by sonar detection supported his judgment. If he waited until the sonar detection results were obtained,
If you then order to use naval gun fire to shoot torpedoes, it will appear to be hasty in terms of time, and the time left for your own firepower to prepare will be even shorter.
At this time, there were still six torpedoes heading in the direction of the incoming torpedo. The incoming torpedo was exploded, and the six torpedoes immediately lost their target.
This is a bit difficult to handle.
Li Hai only felt distressed after he came to his senses - those were six very advanced light anti-submarine torpedoes, one in a million!
Six million dollars were lost just like that.
But when I think about it, compared to being sunk, a mere six million is nothing.
The sonar room suddenly reported that an explosion had occurred in the target sea area, and it was not the sound of a depth bomb explosion.
In other words, the depth charge hit the target.
The bridge once again held its breath and concentrated.
Li Hai decisively ordered, "The water and naval warfare department is preparing for a second attack."
The target must not be given the opportunity to launch a second torpedo, otherwise the No. 53 ship will be really in danger.
"There was no sound of the hull breaking." Reports continued to come from the sonar room.
"The target is accelerating!"
"The target is accelerating!"
"The target is about to surface!"
Li Hai quickly ordered the naval gun firepower to be ready. Naval gun is the most suitable weapon to attack the floating submarine at such a close distance.
At this time, the No. 53 ship has entered the target sea area after many high-speed maneuvers, and the distance from the unknown advanced submarine has narrowed to a few hundred meters. In another half minute, the unknown advanced submarine will not be able to use torpedoes to attack the enemy above it.
Ship No. 53.
But at this time, the unknown advanced submarine was unable to attack.
It was like a wounded underwater beast that broke through the water and surfaced. There were obvious signs of the muffler tiles falling off the hull and bow, especially at the bow, where a depression appeared, and some pipelines could even be seen exposed.
Li Hai put down his telescope and waved his fist excitedly.
Deep bombing makes great achievements again!
Now he felt sorry for those six torpedoes again, they cost more than 6 million yuan!
Quickly putting these miscellaneous thoughts behind, Li Hai commanded the No. 53 ship to maintain a safe distance from the unknown advanced submarine. The so-called safe distance means that the No. 53 ship can use a variety of weapons to attack it, but it is difficult to attack it.
Ship No. 53 poses a threat.
"Mr. Chang, ask the intelligence team to go to the deck to collect evidence, and the electronic detectives will work hard. There will be no store like this after passing this village." Li Hai was excited not only because he won this confrontation, but also because he had an extremely rare close encounter.
Opportunities to observe and detect unknown advanced submarines.
Chang Haizhou quickly replied, "It has been dispatched. I will lead the team."
"receive."
At this time, on the hull of the unknown advanced submarine, a man raised a white flag and waved it to show that he admitted failure.
Le Hai did not relax his vigilance. These Anglesan pirates had no credibility at all. If they raised the white flag now, they might regret it the next second.
"Great Wall 101, the unknown advanced submarine surrendered. The bow of the target boat was severely damaged. It seems that it has lost its combat effectiveness. You may have to work hard to escort it out of the Luojing Waterway." Li Hai contacted the Great Wall 101 who was on guard behind him.
Conventional submarine.
Wu Hai watched the whole process. He was amazed by Li Hai's various operations and said, "I am happy to accept this task. Captain Li, please rest assured."
Li Hai contacted New Youth, "New Youth, send your carrier-based helicopter over to conduct strict aerial surveillance of the unknown advanced submarine, and cooperate with Great Wall 101 to escort it out of the Luojing Waterway. Don't forget to bring radio detection equipment."
Detecting the wireless signals emitted by the target from the air is also an extremely rare opportunity to understand the characteristics of the communication signals between it and the base.
As one of the most technologically advanced submarines in the world, the number of unknown advanced submarines is very small. The People's Navy has few opportunities to encounter them, and naturally knows even less about them.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle. Just as the war situation center has characteristic data such as the appearance, sonar, and noise of various submarines, the sonar room also has it. Once the signal is detected, you can quickly determine which ship it is, and even the commander can
Who they are, service updates, recent trends and other information can all be searched with one click.
To achieve this goal, it is necessary to establish a large and complete information database of various types of ships.
Now is a good opportunity to enrich the information database of various types of ships and fill in the blanks of unknown advanced submarines.
The unknown advanced submarine has completely given up resistance. If it does not give up, it will either be sunk or sink into the depths.
It has lost its ability to submerge and can only sail on the surface.
What I have to admire is that their damage control capabilities are very strong. It didn't take long for the boat's bow to break and flood to be controlled, otherwise it would have fallen to the bottom of the sea.
However, Li Hai knew that the unknown advanced submarine adopts a double-hull design, and the hull is much stronger than a single-hull submarine. Intensive deep bombs can damage it, but it is not easy to sink it.
Not knowing the current state of the advanced submarine, Li Hai had no doubt that it was capable of returning to a port thousands of miles away on its own.
"Send a signal and order them to go to Luojing Waterway." Li Hai called the communications staff officer over.
The communications staff asked for instructions, "Semaphores or lights?"
"Signal language." Li Hai said.
"yes!"
The communications staff officer hurried away.
"etc."
Li Hai stopped the communications staff and ordered, "After sending the semaphore, contact them on the general channel and ask their commander to talk to me."
"yes!"
The communications staff arranged for personnel to send out semaphores, and then called the unknown advanced submarine on the international general channel.
Because the unknown advanced submarine did not have any markings on the outside, including a string number, the communications staff directly used the phrase "unidentified large submarine."
Captain Sherfield, the captain of an unknown advanced submarine, appeared on the communication channel. He said, "On the 53rd, I will leave the Arazu waters. Please exercise restraint to avoid new misunderstandings and misjudgments."
Sherfield suggested that it was a misunderstanding, which made Li Hai dumbfounded.
They all want to kill each other, and when they see that they can't beat each other, they decide it's a misunderstanding. How can it be so cheap?
Li Hai said in a serious tone, "You broke into the no-navigation zone we set up in the waters of Duolan Island and violated international rules. You will bear all the consequences. You must pass through Luojing under our surveillance.
The waterway enters the Sulawei Sea!”
Sherfield surrendered on his own initiative because he didn't want to leave under surveillance. Lizi had already lost, and it was his last struggle to get back.
Unfortunately, Li Hai saw through his little thoughts at a glance.
"On the 53rd, I would like to reiterate that this is a misunderstanding. I will leave the Alazu Sea and enter the Sulawesi Sea on my own, staying away from the no-navigation zone you set up." Sherfield said.
Li Hai said flatly, "You have no room for bargaining. You must leave Alasuhai through the Luojing Waterway under our supervision, otherwise you will be responsible for all the consequences!"
"Main gun warning fire." Li Hai ordered.
Zhang Huo's main gun squad immediately fired a shot at the unknown advanced submarine, causing a splash of water. At the same time, the torpedo launcher that had completed its second loading was pointed at the unknown advanced submarine, ready to fire continuously at any time.
Exchanging several million torpedoes for an unknown advanced submarine costing more than two billion US dollars is a deal that simply cannot be more cost-effective.
Sherfield is an experienced submarine commander. He knows that if he continues to resist, the other party will really sink his ultimate anti-submarine submarine worth more than two billion US dollars. Moreover, he knows that behind this old-fashioned frigate, there are
A powerful conventional submarine and the approaching carrier-based helicopter indicate that there is another destroyer and frigate.
I can only admit defeat.
Sherfield did not hesitate anymore. Saving his life was the most important thing.
He said, "On the 53rd, I will leave here according to the route you have drawn."
"very good."
Li Hai was satisfied.
New Youth and Great Wall 101 have enough time to "observe" this unknown advanced submarine, and New Youth has more advanced radio detection equipment.
On the other hand, an unknown advanced submarine must leave under surveillance and follow the route designated by others. In fact, it is no different from being captured. This is why Sherfield insists on leaving on his own in an extremely unfavorable situation.
New Youth's carrier-based helicopter and Great Wall 101 escorted the unknown advanced submarine to the Luojing Waterway. When they passed by the No. 53 ship, the unknown advanced submarine suddenly sent a signal and asked, "No. 53, how did you destroy the torpedo?
of?"
Li Hai knew that this was Sherfield's question. He did not dare to ask on the general channel, which meant that he would not admit that the torpedo was launched by his submarine, but he was eager to know what happened to an old frigate like the No. 53 ship.
Destroying torpedoes.
You must know that under the circumstances at that time, the No. 53 ship was undoubtedly dead. A MK-48 heavy torpedo was completely capable of sinking the No. 53 ship, and judging from the situation at the time, the No. 53 ship could not escape at all.
The communications staff asked for instructions, "Captain, how do I reply?"
Li Hai sneered and said, "If you don't reply, they will have nightmares every day."
