Chapter 108: The sea killer

After the ballistic missile re-entered the atmosphere, e-3d calculated the warhead splashing area again.

The God of Luck has not favored the US military, and the e-3d is still within the coverage of the ballistic missiles, and at least 12 of the twenty missiles will land near Yuanshan.

Anti-missile interception has begun before e-3d detects the ballistic missile again.

The interception effect is the same as the US commander expected. The detection radar of the thaad can lock on missiles, but it cannot distinguish the real warhead from the debris generated by the missile body and the bait warhead. Although the four thaad systems fired all the remaining forty interceptors in half a minute, it still cannot guarantee that all warheads will be shot down, and it cannot ensure that the e-3d will not be attacked.

At this time, the flight altitude of e-3d has dropped below 5,000 meters.

The US military commander faces a very severe decision-making test, namely whether to let the officers and soldiers on the early warning aircraft parachuting. If the anti-missile interception fails, the early warning aircraft will definitely crash. Because there is no ammunition escape system on the early warning aircraft, it is difficult for the crew to parachuting and escape during the plane's crash.

To escape, you have to skydive early.

The US military commander did not make a decision, but delegated the decision-making power to the captain of the early warning aircraft.

When life and death were at stake, the US captain showed fearless spirit. Before the first ballistic missile warhead exploded, he did not order a parachuting jump to escape.

Twenty missiles fired at almost the same time, and within the next few seconds, several warheads detonated at high altitudes.

After the e-third warhead was detonated, all electronic equipment, including the flight control system, were burned.

Destroyed are also electronic equipment of the thaad and the Patriot air defense system.

At this time, the focus of the US military was not on Wonsan, but on the East Korean Bay.

Under the guidance of e-2d, during the first long-range attack, five enemy aircraft were shot down. However, F-22a started the fire control radar too early, exposing its whereabouts, and was immediately attacked by the j-11b aircraft group following the j-10 aircraft group.

When entering the sight line, there were only five f-22a, and there were seven j-10s.

The US pilots were fighting for bayonets in the air, and they didn't care about combat orders. Before they could solve the j-10 that was entangled, they had no time to take care of them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the j-11b aircraft fleet successfully broke through the US military's air defense line.

The situation became extremely urgent. The six P-3cs that flew in the front had arrived in the southern waters of Yuling Island and were searching in the south of the aircraft carrier battle group. In another twenty-five minutes, the twelve additional P-3cs will also arrive, and the anti-submarine network will be opened in other directions of the aircraft carrier battle group.

Obviously, the remaining fuel from the eight j-11bs will definitely last for more than twenty-five minutes.

Not to mention eight j-11bs, even if there is only one, the US anti-submarine patrol aircraft is helpless. With enough time, one fighter can kill all anti-submarine patrol aircraft!

Can I intercept the j-11b aircraft group in time?

The US commander was not sure because the air defense fighter jet closest to the J-11b aircraft group was still two hundred kilometers away and there was no chance to arrive before the J-11b sent a shèpl-12 to the anti-submarine patrol aircraft.

In desperation, the US military commander could only issue evacuation orders to the anti-submarine patrol aircraft.

Instead of being shot down by the Volunteer Army fighter jets, it is better to leave temporarily and wait until the air defense fighter jets drive out the enemy planes and then return to the anti-submarine patrol waters.

The battle in the air was extremely fierce and the sea was not calm.

Under the sea, the "Sea Dragon" has approached the US aircraft carrier battle group, but Safimo has not ordered an attack for a long time.

Before the battle started, the "Hailong" discovered the US aircraft carrier battle group. According to the combat plan formulated by Zhou Yusheng, Safimo did not rush to take action, but instead ambushed about 35 nautical miles south of Yuling Island, using the side sonar array to detect the surrounding waters and find suspicious targets.

Like the Air Force fighter jets, the Sea Dragon is just one of the entire combat forces.

According to Zhou Yusheng's plan, all four submarines entering the Sea of ​​Japan from the Guanmén Strait will participate in the ambush operation, but the way of participation will be different.

The "Sea Dragon" is at the forefront and undertakes the most important sneak attack mission.

Behind it, the three submarines will undertake the enemy mission, namely, launch an attack before the "Sea Dragon" to attract the coalition's anti-submarine forces.

Although the plan is good, it is not as good as the changes.

Shortly after entering the ambush position, the "Sea Dragon" discovered several suspicious targets and immediately confirmed that the three targets in the south were conventional submarines that operated in concert. However, one target appeared in the north and two targets in the northeast and unconventional submarines, but the US attack nuclear submarine.

In order to find out the identity of the US submarine, the "Sea Dragon" left the ambush position and released the drag sonar at a low speed.

Without much effort, Safimo confirmed that they were three Los Angeles-type attack nuclear submarines. They just towed the sonar and discovered the fourth suspicious target, a Virginia-class attack nuclear submarine that was about 75 kilometers away from the Sea Dragon!

Facing the "Los Angeles" level, Safimo is not very worried.

Although it cannot compare speed with attack nuclear submarines, the silent xing of the Sea Dragon can be more obvious. When using only the AIP system, the noise emitted by the Sea Dragon is much lower than the background noise of the ocean. As long as the distance is far enough, the possibility of being discovered by the Los Angeles class is not very large.

But in front of the "Virginia" level, Safimo was not so confident.

After careful consideration, Safimo roughly speculated the anti-submarine deployment of the US aircraft carrier combat group.

Because the "Sea Snake" that entered the Sea of ​​Japan before went to the Kiyoto Port in northeastern North Korea, the US military placed the most advanced attack nuclear submarines in the north of the aircraft carrier battle group, and was wary of the "Sea Snake" that could leave the port at any time or had quietly left the port. Before that, two feinted conventional submarines entered the Sogo Strait, and they also intended to travel back and forth three times in the strait, causing the illusion that several submarines entered the Sea of ​​Japan in batches. Therefore, the US military placed the two "Los Angeles" class in the east of the aircraft carrier battle group to guard against potential threats in the direction of the Sogo Strait. Because the US aircraft carrier battle group was sailing westward, the US military followed conventional tactics to allow an attacking nuclear submarine to carry out an offensive anti-submarine mission ahead.

In other words, the US military did not know that four submarines had entered the Sea of ​​Japan from the Seto Inland Sea!

This judgment greatly increased Safemo's confidence.

Since the US military did not notice the threat from the south, the chances of sneak attacks would be greatly improved. Safimo even felt that there was no need to let three submarines cover. As long as the opportunity was seized, the "Sea Dragon" could sink an aircraft carrier or severely damage multiple large warships.

Like other captains, Safimo is a person who does what he says and will never hesitate in the face of opportunities.

The "Sea Dragon" did not stop, but quietly approached the US aircraft carrier battle group. Safimo asked the weapon officer to prepare two 650 mm heavy torpedoes and three 533 mm torpedoes, ready to launch an attack at the appropriate time and let the Americans taste the taste of Chinese torpedoes.

However, when using the AIP system, the submersible speed of the "Sea Dragon" will not exceed eight knots.

Because there are four US attack nuclear submarines nearby and US anti-submarine patrol aircraft in the sky, the "Sea Dragon" has always kept its speed below four knots.

At this speed, it takes several hours to reach the ideal location for the torpedo.

During this period, the US aircraft carrier battle group will still sail, so even Safimo is unsure of when he will get the opportunity to attack.

Just as the "Sea Dragon" quietly approached the US aircraft carrier battle group, the battle began.

On the submarine, Safimo could hear the sound of the US warship launching air defense missiles, but he could not know more, and he could not know whether the aircraft carrier battle group was severely damaged.

After the first round of missile attacks, Safimo discovered that all the US warships were paralyzed!

This is definitely a godsend opportunity for submarines.

Attacking large warships paralyzed on the sea is no more difficult than shooting a target. Even officers who have just come out of the academy can use direct flight torpedoes to sink the warships.

Safimo couldn't even believe that he was so lucky.

The "Sea Dragon" is less than 30 kilometers away from the southernmost aircraft carrier in the battle group, namely the "Washington", which is exactly within the range of the 533 mm torpedo. Because the aircraft carrier is paralyzed on the sea, it is not necessary to consider the maneuver range and can launch a torpedo on the maximum range.

Although Zhou Yusheng did not send a combat order, Safimo planned to do it alone.

It is worth the price to sink a US aircraft carrier after World War II that it is the first submarine captain to sink an aircraft carrier.

Safimo did it as soon as he said that, and immediately began to prepare for an attack.

However, the US military responded faster than him.

Before the "Sea Dragon" could send a shè tube to inject water into the torpedo, he found an abnormal situation when he towed the sonar. First, he received an attack sonar wave from two American submarines in the east. It was immediately detected that the other two US attack nuclear submarines also activated the active attack sonar.

The US submarine took the initiative to break the silence!?

Safimo was shocked because there were not many opportunities to use active attacks on sonar during submarine confrontations. US submarines either discovered potential threats or were stimulated and were searching for potential threats with all their might.

Even if you think about it better, the US submarines know that there are Chinese submarines nearby.

Although Safimo was not afraid of sacrifice, he had to consider the more than 30 officers and soldiers on the submarine, and not all officers and soldiers were willing to take risks for the sake of "first".

After the attack was terminated, Safimo asked the Sea Dragon to withdraw the drag sonar.

The US military's active attack on submarines did not lock in the "Sea Dragon", but instead emitted low-frequency and high-energy sound waves in all directions aimlessly.

Obviously, the US military did not know that there were Chinese submarines nearby, or that the "Sea Dragon" had not been discovered yet.

Safimo calmed down in this matter.

It must have been a successful air strike, and the US aircraft carrier battle group was completely paralyzed. Because of fear of being attacked from under the sea, the attack nuclear submarines escorting the aircraft carrier battle group were tested and tried to scare away the Chinese submarines that were near the aircraft carrier battle group by exposing their whereabouts.
