Chapter 48: Key Battle Report
.For the East China Sea Fleet with six destroyers and four frigates, intercepting twenty anti-ship missiles is nothing. In the fleet, such as the 052c destroyer and the 054c frigate, both have the ability to intercept more than ten targets alone, and the anti-missile capability of the 956e destroyer is not bad.
After intercepting the anti-ship missile, Teng Yaohui was a little embarrassed.
There must be Japanese submarines nearby, and there are a large number. Although the lurking waters of Japanese submarines can be roughly judged by the direction of the missiles, and Teng Yaohui also asked Zhou Yusheng to send anti-submarine helicopters at the first time, after launching anti-ship missiles, the Japanese submarines will definitely avoid them. It will definitely take time to sink all Japanese submarines. If the anti-submarine helicopters fail to expel Japanese submarines, the fleet is likely to be attacked again, and the next time it will be a more deadly torpedo.
The problem is that the East China Sea Fleet cannot leave.
Japanese fighter jets are coming, HNA fighter jets are about to arrive, and air combat is about to begin. The East China Sea Fleet is an indispensable link in the entire tactical command chain. It also shoulders the heavy responsibility of providing support for air-controlling fighters. If necessary, it must use air defense missiles to attack Japanese fighter jets.
This is not a problem with Teng Yaohui, but a problem with the Chinese Navy.
Although the main force assisting HNA in combat was early warning aircraft, not only dispatched four large early warning aircraft from the Air Force to this end, but also concentrated four small early warning aircraft from HNA to ensure that it could provide combat support for air-control fighters for 24 hours a day during wartime. However, in the East China Sea, there is a difficult problem between the Chinese Air Force and the Navy Air Force and the Navy Air Force, that is, it is impossible to rely on the local air defense network.
One of the crucial reasons why the Volunteer Air Force can perform outstandingly in the Second Korean War was that it relies on China's local air defense network. During the entire war, early warning aircraft serving the Volunteer Army were not only deployed in China, but also patrolled the local area. Not only were they covered by ground air defense forces, they also did not have to worry about the coalition forces crossing the border and could act as they wish.
On the East China Sea battlefield, this condition does not exist.
If the early warning aircraft is to be allowed to move under the cover of the local air defense network, it can only be deployed near the Zhoushan Islands, which is more than 600 kilometers away from the Diaoyu Islands, which has exceeded the support range of the early warning aircraft. In this way, the early warning aircraft must be allowed to exit in front, and the threat to the early warning aircraft must be considered.
In the battle for air supremacy, attacking the opponent's early warning aircraft is the most effective way.
During the Second Korean War, the volunteers attacked the coalition's early warning aircraft many times, thus seizing temporary air supremacy and laying the foundation for victory in air combat. 7th Route Chinese
After the Second Korean War, how to protect early warning aircraft from attacks can be said to be a global problem.
Even if the threat posed by electromagnetic weapons to early warning agencies is not considered, the fourth-generation fighter jets must be considered.
The reason is very simple. The fourth-generation fighter has outstanding stealth capabilities, which can greatly shorten the effective detection distance of the early warning aircraft and launch an attack unexpectedly.
According to the experience of the Second Korean War, the effective detection distance of kj2000 to f22a is 150 kilometers.
At this distance, the f22a is enough to lock the early warning aircraft with fire-controlled radar. Although the maximum range of the Aim120d is no more than 120 kilometers and it is necessary to get closer to launch the missile, compared with fighters with a cruise flight speed of more than Mach 1.6, the early warning aircraft is too slow. Even if enough escort fighters are equipped with early warning aircraft, it is difficult to shoot down the invading enemy aircraft in time.
In the Second Korean War, the volunteers used mig31, which was far inferior to f22a, to attack the coalition's early warning aircraft.
In this way, in the air defense system, early warning aircraft must be covered enough, and it is covered from more reliable warships.
According to the air control tactics formulated by the Chinese Navy, when competing for air supremacy with the enemy, the early warning aircraft is responsible for providing battlefield information for fighter jets, and the forward deployed fleet is responsible for providing air defense barriers for early warning aircraft. That is to say, the fleet will move within a range of 100 to 200 kilometers ahead of the early warning aircraft's activity area and use air defense missiles to intercept invading enemy aircraft. In this system, the early warning aircraft will also provide information support for air defense and anti-missiles to the fleet, that is, it is responsible for detecting targets approaching from ultra-low altitudes and guiding the fleet to conduct air defense operations.
To put it simply, in this set of tactics, the fleet is the ground air defense system that comes out.
The situation can be imagined. If the East China Sea Fleet retreats, the early warning aircraft deployed behind the fleet must retreat, and the air-control fighters fighting in the front must also retreat.
It is easy to remove, but it is not easy to retake it.
The special forces have already landed on the Diaoyu Islands and have no air supremacy. Not only will they be bombed, but they are also likely to make Japan think that it can counterattack the Diaoyu Islands.
If the fleet cannot retreat, it must find a way to eliminate the threat from the sea.
In addition to anti-submarine helicopters, Teng Yaohui could rely on only the same elusive submarines, especially the two attack nuclear submarines that arrived on the night of the 28th.
At that time, all Teng Yaohui had to do was to decide whether to turn into an anti-submarine formation.
In naval battles, the formations of air defense and anti-submarine warfare are completely different.
When dealing with submarines, the warships in the fleet must be fully evacuated to avoid two warships being attacked by torpedoes launched by one submarine at the same time, and to expand the anti-submarine area as much as possible so that the submarine cannot get close to the core warships. If it is an aircraft carrier battle group, it means that the submarine cannot get close to the aircraft carrier. In the destroyer fleet, the air defense destroyer that needs to be protected is the air defense destroyer as the fleet flagship and the main air defense pillar.
If it is air combat, the fleet should be gathered as much as possible, so that all warships are covered by the regional air defense system, and leave enough air defense and anti-missile interception areas for long-range air defense missiles on the air defense destroyer to ensure that ships that do not have regional air defense capabilities, such as anti-submarine frigates, will not be exposed. Even in terminal anti-missile interception, dense formations can maximize the use of air defense firepower.
In combat, it is not easy to adjust the formation.
The East China Sea Fleet is carrying out air defense operations missions. It will take at least one hour to let the anti-submarine frigates inside the formation spread out and pull up the anti-submarine network on the periphery.
For fast-paced air defense operations, an hour is probably over.
At around 4:50, just as Teng Yaohui was hesitating, Zhou Yusheng sent the battle report he had just received, and Safeimo sent the battle report.
Now, Teng Yaohui has no reason to hesitate.
Instead of adjusting the formation, the East China Sea Fleet continued to welcome the upcoming air battle with an air defense lineup.
Although the battle report is only a few lines, its significance cannot be underestimated.
Behind this battle report is the huge risks suffered by more than 30 officers and soldiers on the "Sea Dragon".
It is very simple to attack the Japanese submarine afterwards. After all, the "Sea Dragon" locked the target and launched an attack with two torpedoes to ensure that there is no accident.
About thirty seconds before the torpedo hit the target, Safemo ordered the wire to be cut off and allowed the torpedo to attack independently.
Next, the torpedo soldiers on the Sea Dragon created a miracle: reloading the torpedoes for two torpedo launchers within thirty-five seconds.
You should know that under normal circumstances, the reloading time of torpedo is one minute and thirty seconds.
Because the wire conductor torpedo wire is released from the torpedo launch tube, the torpedo cannot be refilled for the launch tube before cutting off the wire.
In order to open fire again as soon as possible, Safimo also asked the weapon officer to violate the operation regulations and input the target parameters before the torpedo was installed into the launch tube.
At 4:48, the Hailong launched a 650-mm heavy anti-submarine torpedo at the two "Canglong" class that were evading.
At this time, there is no secret of the whereabouts of the "Sea Dragon".
Since the fight begins, there is no need to care about identity issues.
After launching the torpedo, Safimo asked the communication officer to cast a communication float to report the battle situation to Zhou Yusheng.
It can be said that this battle report is crucial. At least Teng Yaohui already knows that the Japanese submarines attacking the East China Sea Fleet have been discovered and have been counterattacked.
For Safemo, this battle report is equally important.
In the war report, Safimo explained that the war areas were equivalent to asking for help from Zhou Yusheng.
You should know that there were three "Canglong" ships at that time, and the "Sealong" was fighting alone.
If the two Japanese submarines in the center were not sunk in time, the "Sea Dragon" would be besieged by a three-day submarine, and there was almost no chance of survival.
However, the "Sea Dragon" is not lonely.
The East China Sea Fleet had sent anti-submarine helicopters, and the two attack nuclear submarines and four conventional submarines that accompanied the fleet's operations were then ordered by Zhou Yusheng.
As long as it withstands the counterattack of the Japanese submarine, the "Sea Dragon" will not only survive, but also gain more results.
Safimo is not a person who sticks to the rules, and he will not wait for support.
After sending out the battle report with the communication buoy, he focused his energy on the ongoing battle and used all possible resources to deal with the two Japanese submarines in the center.
The result was similar to what he expected, or there was no essential deviation.
Two Japanese submarines are avoiding the two anti-submarine torpedoes launched by the Sea Dragon in the first round. After being attacked again, the chance of survival is even slim.
At five o'clock, the first 650-mm torpedo hit the target, sank the Japanese submarine in two pieces.
Half a minute later, the officers and soldiers on the "Sea Dragon" could hear the crunching sound of the submarine's pressure-resistant shell being flattened by sea water, a sound that was enough to make people creepy.
At 5:15, the second 650 mm torpedo hit the target.
Although the Japanese submarine was not blown up, the pressure-resistant shell must have been penetrated, and water was inflowed in multiple compartments, and the submarine immediately sank to the seabed more than 600 meters deep.
Perhaps, the Japanese officers and soldiers on the submarine were not all finished, but for the surviving Japanese submarine soldiers, survival was more painful than death immediately, because at this depth, rescue could not be launched at all, and the submarine soldiers could not save themselves, and could only wait in the iron coffin for oxygen to run out.
After killing three Japanese submarines in one fell swoop, the "Sea Dragon" gained the upper hand.
However, before Safimo was happy, the situation of the battle took a sharp turn.
At 5:18, the "Sea Dragon" detected the approaching heavy anti-submarine torpedo, and it was a torpedo that began to accelerate after cutting off the wire!
