    "Recovery formation, all ships recovery formation! That submarine is near us, catch her!" Pedersen shouted without caring about his image.

    "Communications officer, our sonar is already so close, we can catch her!" Pedersen's tone changed a bit. He never expected that nearly ten ships would attack together and be tricked by a submarine.  In this way, he now firmly believes that the enemy has not completed the task - sinking two merchant ships. If the captain of the Chinese submarine is desperate, a suicide attack can complete the task, but the 333 boat itself cannot  Maybe he survived, but he could only hope that the Chinese people did not have this spirit of sacrificing their lives for righteousness.

    The staff officer responded helplessly: "Because we were hit, the director decided that our sonar system could not be used normally, so we had to rely on friendly ships to find the enemy."

    Pedersen slammed the table with a distorted expression. He never thought that the exercise with the Chinese would evolve to this point, and that he would make such a big mistake.  If the details of the exercise were published in newspapers, he would definitely be under tremendous pressure. Just imagine that an entire fleet in the free world cannot resist a small Chinese submarine. So what can the United States do to confront the larger Soviet Union?

    The destroyers and frigates originally scattered outside the fleet immediately began to shrink their formation, because the aircraft carrier was severely damaged, but the enemy was still there. They must work hard to find the Chinese ship that would never escape too far.  Submarine, she was not allowed to attack the merchant ships played by the two Chinese warships.

    The British captain Lippett was full of ridicule at this moment: "You idiot Americans, do you think that with great strength, you can master the true essence of the navy? The Chinese have made them so embarrassed. Apart from embarrassing NATO, what else can the Americans do?  ¡±

    Immediately afterwards, the captain ordered: "Compress the patrol range of the anti-submarine helicopter. The center of gravity is within a radius of 10 kilometers with the Ranger as the center. The Chinese submarine definitely did not escape, but lurked again!"

    The ambitious British captain has a sophisticated vision. The Chinese made up their mind from the beginning to use this combination of hiding and fighting tactics to knock out valuable targets and use the actions in front to create space for the actions behind them.  To put it bluntly, this is a Chinese game of Go, and it also conforms to typical traditional Chinese military tactics.  When Lippett was a student at the Royal Naval Academy at Dartmouth, he had read a series of classical Chinese military works including "The Art of War" and "Thirty-Six Stratagems", but he never expected that one day he would be able to actually use them.

    This game with the ocean as the chessboard is ultimately a battle for space.  Including diverting the Darwin from the beginning, destroying it with mines, and now severely damaging the core ship, forcing other destroyers and frigates to shrink their strength and shrink the encirclement. All of this is playing tricks with space, just like in Go.  "Qi", if you gain it, you will win, if you lose it, you will lose.

    "He wants to use this opportunity to compress the fleet's space to create opportunities for his own escape!" Tactically speaking, although Lippett underestimated the enemy like Pedersen, Lippett was not as panicked as Pedersen.  , he also discovered the true intention of the Chinese submarine from the first moment.

    "So they want to give up the attack target?" Lippett shook his head, thinking that this might not exist. Although in the first round of latent attacks just now, the Chinese submarine did not choose a merchant ship, but chose to severely damage the USS Ranger aircraft carrier, missing one.  Chance.  However, the Chinese submarine did not intend to be a martyr from the beginning, but wanted to retire with success. So what method will the Chinese submarine choose to achieve the goal of sinking the merchant ship?

    Soon, the answer was revealed.

    When the entire fleet cautiously began to gather together, suddenly the director's department generated electricity again: "The No. 1 merchant ship triggered a magnetic mine, and the No. 2 merchant ship triggered a fixed-depth remote-controlled mine. The protection mission failed."

    Lippett suddenly realized - it was a mine again. The Chinese submarine released a mine again. If he guessed correctly, the Chinese submarine must be hiding under the Ranger's boat.  The Ranger, which has lost its sonar and has been greatly damaged, has actually become a perfect protective umbrella. It can completely cover up the sneak attack Chinese submarine with her hydroacoustic signal, so hiding in the soft belly of this aircraft carrier, even if other ships shrink  Even with the formation, she couldn't be found.

    Lippett already had a serious expression on his face. There was no doubt that his opponent had won respect through his cleverness.

    But Lippett didn't want to admit defeat, and his brain started working quickly: "Because the three ships on our left wing have just run far away, they are undoubtedly the places with the largest gaps, and shrinking inward will undoubtedly control the outer circle, where  This submarine's "qi" is her way to survive! Then the position on the left front is the most convenient position for her to break through. Block her here!"

    Although the escort mission failed, Lippett cannot be considered a complete loser as long as the Chinese submarine is sunk. Navy people have the stubbornness of the navy.?For Lippett, only hunting this Chinese submarine is the most meaningful thing.

    "Anti-submarine helicopters, pay attention to intensive search from 9 o'clock to 12 o'clock!" Lippett did not dare to be careless. Her opponent was like a cunning fox, and the empty ocean was her pasture. Only by going all out could she be contained.  The opponent's victory.

    But before he could receive the good news from the anti-submarine helicopter, he suddenly heard another message from the director: "FF-1071 Wolverine was hit by a torpedo, severely damaged under the waterline, and lost its combat capability."

    Lippett was immediately shocked, "This is impossible!"

    A set of simulated sandboxes quickly appeared in his mind. The Wolverine was located at six o'clock of the merchant ship, which was the tail of the entire fleet. There was no reason why the Chinese submarine wanted to break out to the upper left but attacked the Wolverine at the rear.  No. - Then the conclusion is very simple. The Chinese submarine is not trying to break through at the relatively weak and wide-open place on the upper left, but at the rear.

    Soon Lippett had to admit that breaking out from the rear was also a good choice, because Pedersen's division of troops just now made the front and rear relatively weak. The British frigate Beaver was in the front, and the American frigate Wolverine was in the rear.  If we break out from here, we can easily reap another victory. The chaotic waters where the aircraft carrier and merchant ships were attacked concealed the brave submarine hiding in the water. When the Wolverine found that the merchant ship in front was blown up by the coefficient as if facing a powerful enemy.  , but did not realize that a guy had already reversed and slipped under his own hull, and the submarine unceremoniously launched a torpedo forward, reaping its fifth victory.

    At this time, Lippett already knew that if the Chinese submarine did not make a mistake, they would not be able to catch her again. The sea area behind was already wide open. The submarine remained underwater and could quickly escape from the dangerous area. If  If they also have self-propelled hydroacoustic decoys on board, their retreat will become safer.

    Lippett lamented: "This is a tactical genius. From layout to controlling the rhythm, every small change of the entire fleet, the increase or decrease of speed, and the direction of action must be carefully calculated. A slight flaw may cause the entire fleet to collapse."  Lose, but he was able to complete the mission, sink two frigates, severely damage an aircraft carrier, and leave safely, which is simply an incredible miracle! "

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ª

    On the 333 boat, a group of sailors hugged each other, clapped, sang and cheered. If the space was not too narrow, Captain Li Chun would have been thrown into the sky to do body surfing.

    The young submarine captain Li Chun is only 27 years old this year, but because of his outstanding professional abilities, he was promoted to the captain of the 333rd submarine under exceptional circumstances.  He was also one of the first people to come into contact with the Type 039A breathless propulsion submarine. When he stepped on the other end of the submarine, he knew that he would deal with this thing for the rest of his life.

    The 039A with excellent performance became the best platform for this talented young man to display. He studied a large amount of detailed information from the Red Alert Base all night long, and led his soldiers to float on the sea for more than twenty days a month, studying his own  Strengths, plan your own tactics, and learn the enemy's weaknesses.  Except for a few red alert soldiers on the 333 boat, most of them were ordinary people. They had no experience in submarine combat and no actual combat experience, but their captain was able to lead this group of people out of a dazzling golden avenue.

    Lippett thought well before. Li Chun is a natural tactical expert and a dynamic submarine warfare master.

    On the "merchant ship" Shenzhen that had been "sinked", even the captain Lu Junfu was trembling with excitement. In this exercise, he single-handedly resisted nearly 10 main battleships. Through careful observation,  With its exquisite layout and careful calculations, the Chinese Navy represented by Li Chun has taught a good lesson to its Western counterparts who claim to be senior.  As a comrade in arms, how could Lu Junfu not feel excited.

    And from the young Li Chun, Lu Junfu saw the future of the navy.  With an excellent combat platform, better logistics supplies, and open management ideas, some talented and intelligent seedlings have begun to show their prowess.  The future of the Republic's maritime power lies in the hands of young people like Li Chun.

    Captain Pedersen of the USS Ranger, who received the instruction from the director's office to announce the end of the exercise, looked as dark as the bottom of a pot. He still refused to admit his failure and repeatedly explained to Pacific Fleet Commander Hayes on the phone.  : "A real escort fleet must have nuclear submarines. Our nuclear submarines will easily destroy the enemy."

    Hayes retorted: "Then the enemy will not use more submarines or other modes for support? Failure is a failure, and the U.S. Navy should have enough magnanimity to admit failure and draw nourishment from the failure. However, there is one thing  To be sure, this exercise has no practical significance because the process is almost irreproducible, and our enemy cannot be like the Chinese submarine captain every time.?Freak!  "
