The formation commander's excitement was no less than that of a fishing enthusiast who waited at the water's edge for a long time and then pulled out his rod and found a big fish.
After searching for a long time, I finally caught a "Teenage Ninja Turtle".
He immediately issued an order: "Locate it immediately, and destroy it immediately after locating it, without asking for instructions!"
Don't let him live!
This is the mood of the formation commander at this time.
Following the formation commander's order, two Z-18F helicopters carrying anti-submarine torpedoes quickly flew to the sea area where the signal was discovered, and immediately dropped positioning sonar buoys around them.
The Z-18F is equipped with the new Yu-7K lightweight torpedo. The attack warhead of this lightweight torpedo weighs 45 kilograms, can reach a speed of 40 knots, and has a range of 14 kilometers.
Not long after the positioning buoy was dropped, the Canglong-class submarine that was fleeing in the direction of the wave base was immediately locked.
After analyzing the characteristics obtained by sonar, it was confirmed that this was indeed a Huangfang Canglong-class submarine.
Although the red side is very confident in its joint anti-submarine capabilities, it never expected that the other party would be exposed so quickly, and it was discovered that the submarine was in the joint anti-submarine zone, close to the west side of the red side's continent, and its heading was north.
It was in the direction of that wave of bases, but it also surprised the red team a little.
After all, when the red side's anti-submarine fleet came over, it first launched sonar from the north, in order to cut off its northward escape route back to Hong Kong, and then catch the turtle in the urn.
It stands to reason that a normal escape would be to head east out of TPY first, use the deep water area as cover to hide one's traces, and then turn northwest and return to one's home port at Okinori Island.
It is shorter to go back directly from the west side of Xianlai Island, but we are coming in the direction of the red anti-submarine brigade. There is almost no way to survive, and we will definitely be discovered.
At this time, the No. 3 boat of the Soryu-class formation underwater had also sensed through sonar that a lot of positioning sonar had been thrown around it.
The captain was surprised that he was exposed so quickly. He did not expect that the red side's counter-submarine power, which he had always despised, had grown by leaps and bounds in these years and had developed to this point.
The stealthiness of Soryu-class submarines has always been known as world-class. As long as it maintains a speed of 4 knots underwater, the noise it makes can be almost smoothed out by ocean clutter. To capture and analyze and locate a Soryu-class submarine, it was previously necessary.
Something that the red side can never do.
However, the cruel fact is right in front of you - you have been discovered!
The captain of boat No. 3 looked ashen, but he had been prepared.
Soon, the sonar soldier reported that an unknown underwater target was found approaching the submarine, with a depth of -92, a direction of 242 degrees, a speed of 18 knots, and a distance of only 12 kilometers.
Obviously, this is a red submarine approaching itself.
The speed is so fast, it is obviously the latest 039C submarine of the red side.
Fighting against 039C has always been the dream of the captain of the No. 3 boat.
But I didn't expect that my first contact would be in this kind of situation.
"Are anti-ship missiles reloaded!?"
"Report sir, everything has been loaded!"
Hearing the news, the captain of boat No. 3 couldn't help but smile miserably.
In order to carry out a second strike against the aircraft carrier formation, after clearing a round of 6 loaded Harpoon anti-ship missiles, emergency loading was carried out again.
As a result, they were ordered to evacuate before they were fully loaded. Now all six torpedo tubes are filled with Harpoon anti-ship missiles. If 039C approaches and a water battle occurs at this time, it will be too late to replace the torpedoes.
What's more, the red team's anti-submarine crew is watching overhead and will launch an attack at any time.
Just think about it.
Burn the cauldron!
You have to waste a few interceptor missiles from the red team before you die!
The captain of boat No. 3 was also a ruthless man and immediately ordered: "Launch all anti-ship missiles at aircraft mother No. 001!"
After receiving the order, all the officers and soldiers on the boat were shocked.
Everyone knows that this means the madness before death.
However, everyone immediately carried out the order.
Either way, it's death.
You still have the courage to fight before you die.
Ten seconds later, a submarine-launched Harpoon missile emerged from the water. After leaving the water, its engine ignited, spitting out flames and flying towards Aircraft Mom No. 001.
Six harpoons were fired, and when two were fired, suddenly, the sonar soldier on boat No. 3 shouted nervously: "An incoming torpedo was found, distance is 0 kilometers..."
0 km.
Captain No. 3 immediately realized it was a torpedo.
And it was a torpedo dropped from the sky by an anti-submarine helicopter.
The red side's anti-submarine aircraft seemed to have obtained the precise positioning information of boat No. 3, and flew directly over its head to fire a shot.
This kind of initiation attack is almost impossible to avoid.
Because the distance was too short, there was no time to react.
The sailors on boat No. 3 still launched two sonar decoys very quickly.
Underwater submarines are generally equipped with torpedo defense systems, and there are roughly four ways to fight against incoming torpedoes.
The first is a suspended acoustic lure. This thing is a special mine. The suspended acoustic lure is relatively stationary. When the suspended acoustic lure is activated, it can make noise to block the channel and send out echoes that simulate active torpedo sonar.
Feature, it can also detonate itself, creating a set of air curtain walls to block active sonar searches.
The second type is the self-propelled decoy, which is the most commonly used gadget on submarines. Most self-propelled decoys simulate the signal characteristics of the submarine itself, including the submarine's own hydroacoustic signal and magnetic field signal, and deceive the torpedo into thinking it is a decoy.
It is the submarine itself, luring the torpedo further away, or directly detonating it.
Third, towed acoustic decoys, compared to self-propelled decoys that require multiple uses at once to simulate the submarine's own volume data, towed acoustic decoys can give anti-submarine torpedoes an intuitive submarine volume information, or make anti-submarine torpedoes miscalculate
The size of the submarine causes the attack to hit the wrong location.
Under normal circumstances, submarines use towed acoustic decoys that are powered and capable of self-navigation. Through a preset program, this thing can directly disguise itself as a submarine and move in the designated direction according to the predetermined program.
Guide torpedoes with seductive sounds.
The fourth, active anti-torpedo torpedo, is not so much a decoy bomb as an advanced torpedo equipped with passive sonar - it can attack the torpedo's own active sonar system by listening, or in other words, according to the torpedo's own active sonar system
The propeller noise generated by its own actions will automatically intercept the attacking torpedo. If the interception fails, the huge noise generated by the self-detonation of the anti-torpedo torpedo will also cause the opponent's sonar system to lose its target, thereby gaining the opportunity to free the mothership.
possibility.
The Canglong uses the second type.
However, the sound decoy bomb technology launched by Soryu-class submarines still comes from their adoptive father Lan Fang. Not to mention it is an old technology, but it is still a castrated version. In the face of the high-speed new YU-7K torpedo, it can even create false targets.
The sound has already been tricked before it is completely dissipated.
What's more, when the YU-7K torpedo dropped by the Z-18F was discovered, it was at the end of the attack, and the No. 3 boat had no time to evade it.
Bang——
With a loud noise, the YU-7K accurately hit the No. 3 boat. Although the 45KG warhead was not incredibly powerful, it penetrated the outer shell and penetrated into the boat before exploding, directly blowing it into two pieces.
The serious damage caused the No. 3 boat to be submerged by the sea water before damage control could be carried out, and it quickly sank to the bottom of the sea. They all went to see the God of Rizhao.
