Chapter 560 Successful Anti-Submarine Warfare
A completely black submarine slowly emerged from the water. Then, less than two nautical miles away from the nearest helicopter, the bow of the boat rushed out of the sea first, and then slammed into the water, splashing a burst of white waves. .
This is the power-floating attitude of a submarine in an emergency, similar to the climbing process of a fighter jet. Compared with relying solely on buoyancy, this process is much faster.
The three Frenchmen on AS565 stared dumbly at what was happening in front of them.
The pilot was so shaken that he almost sent the crew and the plane away:
“Is this a Chinese submarine?”
The conscience of heaven and earth, he is just a helicopter driver.
Not even dedicated to flying anti-submarine helicopters.
In addition, since the French navy was driven away by the equally powerful Vietnamese, it has hardly been to Asian waters. It is normal to not recognize these submarines that seem to be similar at first glance.
Actually, a few minutes ago, he had already realized that something was unusual.
Although the mine does not have a warhead, it may still cause some malfunctions if it directly hits the submarine.
This time facing the most cutting-edge Harushio-class submarines from Hainan, although the speed of effective response was slightly slower, the response after discovering the target was still quite effective.
But generally speaking, being able to discover in advance and force the submarine to surface actively basically means complete victory.
“We and the Chinese Navy blew up a Maritime Self-Defense Force submarine!”
His whole body was numb. He quickly grabbed the radio next to him and put it on his head, preparing to report the incident to the Jean Bart, which was more than ten nautical miles away.
Then confirm that it is really Spring Tide level.
“What an imaginary enemy, it's real!”
This imaginary enemy is a little too real.
The sonar operator also found it unbelievable, so he directly opened the door on the side of the helicopter and stuck half of his head out to take a closer look.
As a result, just as they reported their position, they saw a torpedo being dropped...
The operator returned to the cabin and roared to explain to the two companions in front who were still confused.
Compared to the two pilots, he is the one who is really responsible for anti-submarine warfare.
The outrageous plot development made it difficult for the two pilots in front to think straight:
“Can the Chinese invite Japanese as imaginary enemies in exercises?”
“filsdepute…This is a Harushio-class ship!”
Furthermore, in the exercise plan, submarine attack and submarine search are also separated.
At the same time, the atmosphere in the other two Chinese helicopters was naturally joyful.
No matter how close the exercise is to actual combat, it shouldn't reach this level, right?
Now this submarine suddenly emerged, which has deepened this ominous premonition.
“This submarine was here to monitor our drills, but it was accidentally discovered by the helicopter responsible for searching for submarines!”
Wrong, ten or even nine points is wrong.
In a state of fighting without defeat, there are various types of games between submarines and anti-submarine.
The anti-submarine sonar operator sitting behind him was completely confused.
So, after the splash of water disappeared, I almost immediately recognized the submarine's identity:
Definitely a blushing face.
“Quick, does any of you have a camera?”
The pilot of aircraft 9686 asked on the radio.
Because he saw several crew members appearing in the hull of the submarine, holding a Hainan flag in their hands, as if they were preparing to hang it to identify themselves.
Judging from their dejected expressions, it was obvious that they were frightened by the round of gongs and drums just now.
In peacetime, if this scene was filmed, it could be counted as a record after returning home.
These ship-based helicopters, which are numerous in the North Sea Fleet Aviation Force, are actually used more often for verification, search and rescue, and aerial photography than for anti-submarine warfare, so they often carry an ordinary film camera in the cabin.
Unit No. 9696, which was flying around the submarine on the other side, quickly responded in the affirmative.
“The photo has been taken!”
“Today is truly a day worth remembering…”
The pilot sighed with emotion as he looked through the side window at the slightly embarrassed submarine on the water that had raised its military flag.
Soon, the outcome of the incident was conveyed to the two warships that were approaching quickly.
“The pilot reported that the submarine had been forced out of the water, and it was judged to be a Harushio-class submarine of the Maritime Self-Defense Force, but because there were no markings on the submarine, there was no way to figure out which one it was.”
The radio liaison officer turned around and reported the news to everyone in CIC.
Everyone was naturally refreshed.
"good!"
Captain Luo Zhangming made a fist with his right hand, hit it on the palm of his left hand, and made a "pop" sound:
“Just catch it!”
The contest between the surface and underwater is generally something that both sides tend to keep secret. In fact, China has not even solved the most basic fleet air defense this year, and anti-submarine treatment is almost completely abandoned.
Except for the two 052s, there is basically no third warship that can pose a threat to modern submarines.
In fact, to expand the scope, these two 052s are also the only two warships of the Chinese Navy that can barely be called "modern".
As a comparison, just last month, the Maritime Self-Defense Force just commissioned the fourth Kongou-class destroyer Chokai equipped with the Aegis system. There is a direct generation gap with the Chinese Navy in terms of equipment level.
For Chinese naval officers in this era, not to mention the other side of the ocean, even Haizi can be regarded as a first-rate powerful enemy.
However, no matter what the overall strength is, at least today, a win is a win.
If you can't afford it, practice more. If you can't afford it, don't play it.
However, the surprises are not over yet.
A moment later, the radio operator continued to report:
“In addition, No. 9696 also reported that they had taken photos for evidence and left behind image data.”
At this moment, even Yang Shuyu, who had been sitting firmly next to the chart table, clenched his fists excitedly and said to Luo Zhangming next to him:
“When I go back, I will personally ask for credit from you!”
You must know that in similar confrontations in the East China Sea in recent years, limited by the gap in equipment levels, there were not many opportunities to take advantage.
Let alone a complete victory like today.
“The French asked us what happened to that submarine?”
Just then, the liaison officer turned back from a short distance away and asked the people celebrating here.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Shuyu.
Now that the anti-submarine warfare has been successfully concluded, the command has naturally returned to him.
The truth, of course, cannot be told.
But don't make complete nonsense.
After thinking for a moment, the latter raised his head:
“Tell them that we don't know yet and need to investigate slowly after we go back. We have always regarded this submarine as the imaginary enemy of this exercise.”
When Lieutenant-Admiral Vojour on the Jean Bart received this answer, he almost laughed.
According to the report from the helicopter just now, after finding the target, the Chinese Navy's anti-submarine helicopter dropped a torpedo almost without hesitation.
Even if it is not loaded with explosives, it is definitely not the attitude to face an "imaginary enemy".
So, perhaps at the beginning, the Chinese Navy did not know the situation clearly.
But then they must have had a clear conscience.
But in this kind of thing, you can't tell the truth after seeing through it.
If you run into an area where others are conducting exercises while in submersible mode to conduct reconnaissance, you will have to consider yourself unlucky if you are discovered.
It would be embarrassing to ignore it. It would be too late for the sea to cover itself, and it would be impossible to publicize it everywhere.
With this reply from the Chinese, at least he won't have to take the blame after he returns, and he can even let his superiors cause trouble for the Japanese.
You must know that this is a joint military exercise.
Being approached by a submarine for reconnaissance within 20 nautical miles is not only a provocation to the Chinese Navy, but also to the French Navy.
“It's okay, it's not like our French navy has never fought against the Japanese.”
Someone next to me whispered this.
“Huh? Is there such a thing again? When?”
Obviously not everyone is very familiar with the history of their own army.
“In 1944, the battleship Richelieu bombarded the island of Sumatra. Unfortunately, the Jean Bart had not yet been completed at that time, so she did not catch up..."
“Speaking of which, our No. 1 ship is not called the Richelieu.”
The conversation was conducted in a low voice but could be heard by everyone, which made the atmosphere in the entire CIC much more relaxed.
In the final analysis, the French in this era are trying to be on an equal footing with the United States, so naturally they cannot regard Japan as a true ally.
Anyway, he didn't suffer a loss in this matter. After returning home, he could polish up the report a little, which might become capital for him to be promoted in the future.
Thinking of this, Lieutenant General Wojru's mood improved a lot.
“Okay, let's just write the memo as they say…”
