Chapter 728 Open Fire (asking for monthly ticket)
Last week.
The second special reward for the fallen level that Gu Ji obtained was the Norwegian sea chart.
So he only took a glance and found the familiar features.
The ripple circles of different colors on the screen represent the height of the underwater mountains, and the red dot in the center is the current position of the "Losharik" submarine.
It was simply due to the failure of active sonar and long-wave transmission.
At present, submarines have already entered the stage of inertial navigation, and the actual positioning is bound to have some deviations.
"Next, you will be responsible for submarine navigation. These two are submariners and are at your disposal now!"
After Aklimovich said a few words, he was called over by his men in the sonar detection equipment area on the other side. It seemed that the enemy's torpedoes were approaching.
"Captain, the torpedo is 200 feet away from us! It has entered the warning range! 150 feet..."
"Pilot, maintain lateral speed, dive angle 30! Keep sounding the alarm!"
"100 feet! 75 feet! 50... The torpedo is entering the terminal guidance phase, Captain!!"
"Full right rudder! Detonate! Everyone, prepare for a collision avoidance stance!!"
"Yes!"
"Boom——!"
As the detonation order was issued.
In an instant, a shocking muffled sound suddenly broke out.
It was as if a huge amount of energy was rapidly accumulating on the seabed and then released outward at an unimaginable speed, creating a deafening roar.
Then there was another muffled sound.
The shock wave produced by the secondary explosion swept across the entire seabed like a tsunami. The huge bubbles made a continuous "gurgling" sound, and brought with them rolling sea water and fragments, all of which smashed towards the "Losharik" submarine.
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
"Crack!"
The submarine was shaking violently, sparks were flying on the dashboard, and a large number of soldiers were knocked to the ground by the impact.
Gu Ji held tightly onto the safety bar next to the controller, trying to stabilize his body.
In his heart, he was horrified by the submarine's success in countering the torpedo.
Who would have thought.
Akelimovich was able to use torpedoes to destroy the enemy attack even though the submarine had lost its active sonar.
Well known.
There are currently two means of countering torpedoes.
One is soft kill, such as towed torpedo decoys, or noise jammers previously released by submarines, and self-propelled jamming torpedo decoys, etc.
However, this type of acoustic principle can only deal with some ordinary sonar-guided torpedoes, and is basically useless against the most advanced wire-guided and wake-guided torpedoes.
So hard kill methods come into play.
Such measures include anti-submarine depth charges and anti-torpedo torpedoes.
The former is generally used by warships at sea, and it detonates torpedoes by launching rocket depth charges on a large scale to form a dense anti-torpedo net;
The latter fires a torpedo to hit the torpedo.
Damage incoming torpedoes through electromagnetic interference, or vibrations, fragments, and high temperatures generated by explosions.
This method may seem simple, but in fact it has extremely high requirements on the design and technology of the torpedo itself, as well as the captain's interception and detonation operations.
"Is everyone okay?"
"fine!"
"Captain, there is a leak in cabin 7!"
"Arrange for the engine room to repair it immediately!"
"Captain, for now we should continue to surface and reduce the external pressure of the submarine!"
Gu Ji saw that after Aklimovich surfaced to a depth of 900 to 1000 meters, he had no intention of continuing to dive, so he hurriedly began to dissuade him.
Who knows.
The other party just glanced at him and refused: "No, our advantage is that we can dive to a great depth. If we rise too high, we will become a sitting duck for the enemy and the Norwegian Navy!"
“But the submarine’s hull is now severely damaged. Even at a depth of a thousand meters, the pressure on the submarine is not small;
Moreover, although we will attract the attention of the Norwegian Navy after surfacing, we will also drag the enemy into the water. Under the lock of the Norwegian warships, they will definitely not dare to launch torpedo attacks rashly! "
"I said, no!"
"Captain..."
"There is no room for negotiation on this matter! You are only responsible for providing navigation! Gould!"
No matter how Gu Ji tried to persuade him, Aklimovich refused.
The shouting from both sides grew louder and louder, until in the end even the submarine soldiers around them shut their mouths tightly and dared not breathe.
Gu Ji frowned.
I just can't understand why Aklimovich insisted on not floating up.
This is clearly a plan that kills two birds with one stone. It can reduce the damage to the submarine and use the Norwegian Navy to contain the enemy. With this guy's ability, there is no reason why he couldn't understand it.
Unless, he has a more important reason!
But Gu Ji's power is limited now. He can only let the submarine escape from the enemy and the Norwegian Navy as much as possible. "The route is stabilized at 1-7-0, driving at two-thirds of the maximum speed. I need to eliminate the submarine noise as much as possible. Sonar operator, give me a headset!"
"Do as he says!"
Under Akelimovich's order, the submarine driver immediately readjusted the power parameters.
Gu Ji put on the headset and used the nautical chart awarded by the system and the ORS satellite group to perform dual positioning navigation.
"Captain, that enemy submarine has been following us!"
"Ignore it."
"Everyone, shut up!"
Just as Akelimovich was communicating with his men, Gu Ji suddenly shouted, closed his eyes, and listened carefully to the white noise coming from the headphones.
The fluctuation of the voiceprint at this time coincides with the cliff in the system's sea chart.
"There is a cliff on the right ahead, distance 400, avoid it, heading 1-1-0!"
When Gu Ji said this, the pupils of several sonar soldiers nearby couldn't help but shrink.
You should know that passive sonar cannot hear stationary objects, such as hidden rocks, mountains, etc., and the only factor that can be used to judge terrain like the seashore is the echo caused by the impact of water flow.
But if you can distinguish this from white noise, it would be amazing!
"It's Haiya! He's right!!"
At this time, the soldier in charge of observing the periscope shouted.
The driver's face suddenly changed and he hurriedly turned the power lever to adjust the heading.
The "Losharik" is a 74-meter-long submarine. The large hull means that turning is more difficult, and if you are not careful, it may hit the seashore.
"Captain, according to inertial navigation, after crossing this sea edge, we will enter the Arctic Ocean..."
"The Norwegian Navy will not let us escape so easily. I detected a faint noise right above our heads. The sound was very heavy and should be coming from the water surface."
Gu Ji took off his headset, turned around and looked at Aklimovich seriously.
The latter also understood, "It's a warship of the Norwegian Navy. It has locked onto us..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"Captain! The torpedo compartment just launched two heavy attack torpedoes into the sea!"
"What did you say!?"
Suddenly.
Just when Gu Ji and Akimovich were worried about the Norwegian Navy, the soldiers in front of the weapons control group suddenly brought a terrifying news!
"How is that possible! Hasn't the matter of the torpedo compartment been dealt with?!"
Aklimovich's face suddenly changed.
No one understood better than him what it meant to launch a heavy torpedo into the sea at this critical moment:
It is to go to war directly with the Norwegian Navy!!
Gu Ji also had a gloomy expression.
Because he noticed that two more deaths were added to the mission progress in the lower left corner.
Proves that the mysterious cult has started to act again.
And Evan, who was in charge of this matter, may have met with an accident!
"Hey! Torpedo room! Torpedo room!! Damn it..."
Akelimovich called several times in succession.
But before the people in the weapons bay could respond, the sonar soldier on the other side detected: "Captain, the enemy submarine has fired two more attack torpedoes!"
"what?"
"No, this torpedo is not coming for us!"
Gu Ji put the monitoring headset to his ear and after listening for only two seconds, he determined that the frequency of the sound was decreasing rapidly, proving that the target of the sound was moving away from them, "It's upwards!"
"up……"
Akelimovich seemed to have thought of something horrible, and suddenly shouted: "Oh no! Quickly detonate the torpedoes to intercept! Submarine at full speed, get away from the sea immediately! Quick!"
Gu Ji also reacted.
The enemy launched torpedoes into the sea at this time with only one purpose: to frame others!
Because although the extremists could control the torpedo compartment of the "Losharik" to fire, they could not control the intermediate guidance and detonation. Even if they aimed at the Norwegian Navy's warships, they could not actually hit them.
But the situation is different with enemy submarines.
Even if the torpedoes of the "Losharik" exploded prematurely, as long as the interception was not successful, their torpedoes would still hit the Norwegian Navy.
In this way, a war was successfully ignited.
But there was one thing that Gu Ji didn’t quite understand.
With modern naval reconnaissance technology, the Norwegian warships should be able to easily lock onto the torpedo that attacked them and determine which submarine launched it.
In other words, it is actually very difficult to actually frame someone.
But Aklimovich was so scared.
Could it be that……
The attack submarine of the mysterious sect is Russian?!
Gu Ji was startled.
A lot of information flashed through my mind, as if everything suddenly became clear.
He thought of the time in the diesel engine room when Evan asked about the origin of the enemy submarine and Akimovich's eyes were a little evasive, combined with the fact that this guy had just repeatedly refused to surface.
This is the only possibility!
So he hurried to Akelimovich's side and grabbed his shoulders, "Captain, is there something wrong with the origin of the enemy submarine?"
"Gould, why are you..."
Aklimovich was shocked, as if he didn't expect Gu Ji to figure it out so quickly.
But now it has come to a moment that could affect life and death, and there is nothing to hide.
"Yes, in fact, from the very beginning, when we were illuminated by the enemy's sonar, we had already discovered that they were using the 'Lyra' conformal sonar system. This system is a product of the main battle sonar design in the 60s, which means..."
"The enemy was operating a Soviet-era submarine?"
Gu Ji asked back.
And Akelimovich just nodded silently.
"During that period, strategic submarines were often lost. In 1968, one of our G129-class diesel-powered submarines, codenamed K2, disappeared in the waters 1390 meters northwest of Oahu for unknown reasons. In 1980, the Yankee 1 667A Navaga-class nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine sank east of Bermuda. There were also K278 and 629 types..."
Gu Ji knew very well that many military accidents had indeed occurred during the Cold War.
It wasn't just the former Soviet Union that lost submarines. In that era, the U.S. Navy's Skipjack-class nuclear submarine Scorpion also disappeared while on a mission.
The one with the greatest influence is the K129 mentioned by Akelimovich.
At that time, the US CIA also formulated the "Azores" plan for this purpose, mobilizing two nuclear submarines that were about to be decommissioned and secretly salvaging them with the intention of disassembling and studying them. This attack-class submarine was an integration of the former Soviet Navy's most advanced technology at the time.
"Captain, if I remember correctly, these submarines disappeared or sank while performing military missions, so they should be carrying a large number of weapons!"
"Yes."
Akelimovich sighed and said in a deep voice: "They are all equipped with heavy nuclear torpedoes and ballistic missiles. 667A has 16 ballistic missiles, each equipped with two nuclear warheads!"
"Ten?"
Gu Ji's eyes widened when he heard this.
This kind of firepower can even completely destroy a megacity!
“Boom!”
"Captain, detonation successful!"
"Captain, we only intercepted one!"
At the same time, the soldier at the weapons control console nearby reported the latest situation.
But the sonar operator's subsequent addition made the red-faced fat man look ten years older.
Because he knows.
War is inevitable!
Even if it was really a submarine lost during the Soviet era, the Norwegian Navy would not give them a chance to explain face to face.
The other side will only think that Russia fired the first shot.
"Wait, Captain, the active sonar seems to have been restored!!"
"Captain, communications have been restored!"
Just when Akelimovich thought everything was over.
Unexpectedly, good news came suddenly.
He quickly ran to the communication station, his face overjoyed, "It's true! Quick! Ascend immediately! Send our location and situation information to the base!"
"Yes……"
Seeing the submarine soldiers filled with excitement.
Gu Ji frowned.
Obviously.
The submarine suddenly returned to normal at this time. It must be someone from the mysterious sect who did it deliberately behind the scenes.
They certainly won't be kind enough to help the Russian army.
Well there are only two reasons.
One is to enhance the survivability and combat capability of the "Losharik".
The stronger the submarine's capabilities, the better it can deal with the Norwegian Navy. Otherwise, if a row of anti-submarine missiles from a warship is shot down, the submarine will be destroyed and the war will end quickly.
The second is to deliberately let the submarine send the message to the Russian naval base.
Only by letting the Russian top leaders know about this can the entire country be dragged into the water. As the news spreads, the British and American navies hidden in the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic will also be involved.
Gu Ji now wants to solve all this.
It is necessary to make the affairs of the mysterious sect public with the help of both the Russian side represented by Akelimovich and the American side represented by Evan, otherwise the misunderstanding between the two sides will only deepen.
"Old Buller is dead, and Evan may have met with an accident as well. So the only one left alive is..."
