Chapter 561: Salvage the Trophies
at the same time.
Farther out on the sea, the Great Wall Boat No. 298, which had been almost forgotten by everyone, directly entered the surface navigation state.
Captain Ma Jie put on a thin cotton coat, leaned half out of the enclosure, and was holding a telescope to search the surrounding sea.
He even began to wonder whether he had really made a mistake in positioning and had taken the whole boat to the wrong sea area.
“Captain, would you like to try using the radio? Can you contact the surrounding fleets?”
The voice of Deputy Captain Liu Changlin came from below with some echoes.
Submarines are basically unable to carry out any effective communication underwater and can only receive extremely sparse information through ultrlong wave radio stations.
It is generally some pre-agreed letter combinations, 4-6 bytes in length, corresponding to some simple meanings.
For example, return to sea, go to **** sea area, allow attacks, etc.
It was another sound coming from under my feet.
Ma Jie put on his life jacket, led several staff officers and sailors to the boat, and used a long hook to reach the thing to the side of the boat little by little.
“There's a thread trailing behind this thing. Isn't it dangerous?”
Submarines on the surface can use radios, but due to power issues, the communication distance is not optimistic.
“The mine?”
Ma Jie gave a negative answer in a loud voice:
Just when Ma Jie was debating whether to follow the advice of the deputy captain, he suddenly saw a yellow cylindrical object floating on the sea at the edge of the telescope's field of view.
New guesses are given below.
After explaining, he shouted two trumpets in succession and led several people on the boat to fish out the thing.
“No, it's very big, and if they had dropped the sonobuoy just now, we would have been discovered long ago.”
“Let's go over and have a look.”
In the 1990s, the Yu-6 torpedo with a wire-guided function was in the iterative stage of relaunching the plan. The earlier Yu-5 only had an export version and no personal use version, so ordinary sailors of the Chinese Navy had no idea about wire-guided equipment. It's also normal.
“A suspicious object was found in direction 45, about 5 chains away!”
There are several pieces of glass on the control tower of the 033 submarine. If the view is not too bad, you don't necessarily need to climb outside.
"It's even more impossible. No one would place mines in the ocean, and floating mines don't look like that."
Ma Jie climbed directly back to the command cabin along the ladder and threw the telescope to Liu Changlin next to him:
“No, dangerous things would not be painted in such an obvious color. The line at the back must be a control line, similar to the Army's anti-tank missiles.”
Although the Great Wall 298 boat lags behind a bit in terms of technology, the Chinese Navy's boat maneuvering skills are still good. They quickly followed the captain's instructions and accurately arrived at the unknown floating object.
“Could it be the buoy dropped by the helicopter before?”
Generally speaking, submarine officers are trained to complete all tasks alone from the first day they set foot on duty, so contacting friendly forces is rarely their first priority.
However, as a captain, Ma Jie can still keep up with the development of cutting-edge technology.
But the thin cable at the back was very long, and even after the deputy captain pulled it for a long time, he could not completely reach the source.
"This wire should be broken. Generally speaking, the length of the wire can be more than ten nautical miles. Cut it off quickly to avoid being thrown behind and entangled in the propeller later."
After another flurry of activity, I finally got this round thing.
“So what is this?”
“Like a small submarine.”
“You see there are foreign characters on it.”
“What did you write?”
“I can't understand it, but I guess it's something from the Yankees.”
“What bad things are the Americans doing around us?” “No matter what, we must take it back and study it.”
"But this thing is too big and can't fit into the boat."
Several people on the boat gathered around and started discussing.
After turning around a few times, Ma Jie stretched out his hand to stop the buzzing voices around him:
“We definitely have to take it back. We are still sailing on the water anyway, so we will put it on the deck first, but we need to find a rope or something to fix it to prevent it from falling.”
Shortly afterwards, he turned around and looked at Liu Changlin behind him:
“Vice Captain, go and notify the correspondent, let him try to contact the fleet, and then inform them that we have picked up an object.”
"yes!"
Liu Changlin stood at attention, then turned around and trotted back to the enclosure.
Ma Jie, who stayed on the boat, led others to try to fix the round thing to the railing of the boat.
The other side.
The appearance design of modern submarines is specially optimized for underwater navigation. Coupled with the existence of wave-making resistance at the waterline, the speed above the water surface is very slow.
The Winter Tide, which has a maximum underwater speed of more than 20 knots, has a maximum speed of only 12 knots on the water.
Therefore, it did not take long for the two destroyers Daocheng and Jean Bart to catch up with the Winter Tide, which was sailing on the surface, and "escorted" the latter completely out of the exercise area in a left-right manner.
During this period, not only the Chinese Navy, but also the French navy crew members on the Jean Bart took many photos as souvenirs.
I am afraid that for a long time from now on, the Maritime Self-Defense Force will no longer dare to make trouble in the exclusive economic zone of the East China Sea.
“The Pacific Ocean is indeed very lively...”
Lieutenant General Vojour, who walked up to the deck, said with emotion.
Since 1991, there have been few such exciting scenes on the Atlantic and Mediterranean sides.
Today's round of joint anti-submarine exercises was a bit too real, but it made Wojru, who had been away from the front line for a long time, recall the days when he commanded the fleet and battled wits and courage with the Red Navy nuclear submarines.
After the old rival suddenly disappeared, I still missed him...
After a brief emo, the lieutenant general turned around and said to the captain behind him:
"By the way, let me ask the Chinese Navy if they want to continue the second half of the exercise?"
Actually, I knew that if something like this happened, I would have to go back to Hong Kong.
What's more, from the perspective of "joint training", today's gains far exceed those of step-by-step exercises.
Hence, the Ice City, which was nearly one kilometer away, quickly responded by suspending the exercise and preparing to return.
“Deputy Commander Yang, Captain, we have just received news from the Great Wall 298 boat, asking about our current location and why we have not found them.”
“In addition, they also said that they fished something like a small unmanned submarine from the sea and asked us what to do with it.”
Hearing the radio operator's report, several people remembered that when they were busy hunting Self-Defense Force submarines, they completely forgot about the Great Wall No. 298 as the imaginary enemy.
The latter should still be completely in the dark...
“Ahem…”
Yang Shuyu's expression was a little embarrassed:
“Let boat No. 298 send the position, and we will go find them to meet up.”
“As for the thing they caught…”
At this moment, Luo Zhangming, who was next to him, leaned into his ear and whispered:
“Deputy Commander, the crew of the anti-submarine helicopter just now reported that after the submarine was discovered, it fired something similar to a bait, which is presumed to be an unmanned submarine.”
"If it happens to be picked up by boat No. 298, I think it can be taken back for study. However, their boat is too small. The helicopter will take off again later and transfer it to our ship."
Yang Shuyu thought about it for a while and felt that this should be the safest way:
“Well, let's do it!”
