The Chinese Expeditionary Fleet is not the same as the Black Sea Fleet. If the Black Sea Fleet is a lazy salmon, the Chinese Expeditionary Fleet is a dangerous great white shark waiting for opportunities.
With the exception of fleet commander Zhang Lingzhong and some command and logistics departments in the home port of Constanta, the Chinese fleet is actually cruising on the Black Sea. They are here to fight, not to vacation in Romania. Therefore, before the Black Sea Fleet leaves port, China's pLAR expedition fleet has already entered combat status.
Among them, the Chinese naval ships closest to the port of Sevastopol are three Chinese attack nuclear submarines.
Young submarine captain Li Chun took his Deep Sea Demon Shark 096 attack nuclear submarine 439 and two other attack nuclear submarines to ambush in the peripheral waters of Sevastopol. The Black Sea is an anoxic and closed ocean system, with an average water depth of more than 100 meters. The conditions for submarine operations alone are much better than those of several marginal seas near China's coast.
The three attack nuclear submarines blocked outside Sevastopol are one 09 and two 096. Although there is a certain generation difference, it does not affect coordinated operations. What's more, the Type 09-type attack nuclear submarine is already considered a relatively advanced attack nuclear submarine in the world today. Considering all aspects such as silence, power, and armament, it only lags behind the US military's Seawolf-class nuclear submarines, and is much better than the Los Angeles-class and the Soviet-made Akula. The level is slightly better.
The Type 096 attack nuclear submarine is even behind super nuclear submarines such as Seawolf, which the United States has invested heavily in developing. The submersible displacement exceeds 10,000 tons, and its silent capability can even be as low as 3 decibels, making it difficult to find in the deep sea. The large size also allows this attack nuclear submarine to have 6 VLB (vertical launch systems), which are mainly used to launch land-attack submarine-launched cruise missiles. Equipped with special operations cabins and small manned diving vehicles, it can carry out near-shore infiltration special operations.
Moreover, the two torpedo weapons equipped on the Type 096 submarine are also the most advanced in the world. One is the fish smart torpedo developed by PLA later. This torpedo can automatically identify false targets and decoys, and can restart the scan after losing the target to continue searching. Enemy attacks enemy. The other is a weapon from the Red Alert-Sino-Soviet Navy Akula submarine, the BH2 supercavitating torpedo, and the pLA is officially designated as the Yu-10 supercavitating torpedo.
This kind of supercavitating torpedo in the game actually has no seeker. It is a true fire-and-forget method. Whether it hits or not depends entirely on luck. You can set it arbitrarily in the game, but it is naturally impossible to do this in reality. The Yu-10 supercavitating torpedo naturally has a seeker. The Yu-10, with its ultra-large range and fast rate of fire, is sometimes more terrifying than the Navy's two supersonic anti-ship missiles. It is one of the trump cards of the Type 096 nuclear attack submarine (the Type 09-type nuclear submarine can only launch Yu-6, Yu and other fish kind)
At this time, the Black Sea Fleet slowly sailed out from the port of Sevastopol, preparing to face their fate and fight like warriors. They had no idea that there was actually 09E lurking in the Black Sea that should have been under their firm control. Such a terrifying deep-sea killer is Kou95.
"Captain, the enemy fleet has left the port and is less than 10 nautical miles away from us. Do you want to launch an attack on them?" the weapons officer on the 439 boat asked their captain Li Chun.
Their captain can be said to be a benchmark figure in China¡¯s underwater fleet. As early as 1986 during the Rim-Pacific Military Exercise, he used an AIp submarine to fool the naval fleets of major powers and was considered a wizard in underwater submarine warfare. Over the years, he has been continuously promoted, and finally served as the captain of an attack nuclear submarine. There are even rumors in the navy that this wizard may skip the strategic nuclear submarine and directly become the leader of a certain submarine brigade.
Li Chun pinched his chin and said, "Wait a little longer and let them come over on their own."
The three nuclear submarines have received attack permission from Zhang Lingzhong. They were originally going to take advantage of their silent concealment and launch the first round of strikes against the enemy fleet. But Li Chun, who regarded submarine warfare as an art, would not simply let three submarines fire a salvo and destroy a few Russian ships first.
"Confirm the position of the Hainan Airlines strike fleet." Li Chun stood in the CIC (Combat Information Center), not looking nervous or panicked at all. Such a captain also gave the sailors full confidence. In their view, Li Chun is actually a naval legend. When following heroes, famous generals, authorities and the like, people can't help but feel confident.
"The Iron Hook Assault Brigade, the Iron Blade Assault Brigade, and the Snow Cat Destroyer Brigade are on their way and are expected to meet the enemy in 10 minutes."
Li Chun remained silent and did not say anything. The sailors and officers at the war center did not ask him, because they all trusted Li Chun's ability unconditionally. Li Chun stared at an electronic clock in the combat information center. An ultra-thin electronic map dynamically displayed his own fighters flying from different directions.
Although the expeditionary fleet has only one aircraft carrier in name, it can actually be counted as three. In addition to the Shandong aircraft carrier carrying more than 70 fighter aircraft, the Hainan and Shangri-La each also carry more than ten powerful attack aircraft. There is a clear division of labor between them. The Tomcat fighters on the Shandong provide air cover and air superiority for the fleet, while the Hainanand the strong defenders on the Shangri-La launched attacks on the ground and the sea.
"Fill the torpedo launch tube with water and prepare for launch." Li Chun remained calm, but the weapons officer and weapons department on the ship immediately became busy. Although the entire process was basically completed by the nuclear submarine's automatic system, they were also responsible for selecting the attack Goals and the like.
"The aviation force will contact the enemy in two minutes"
Li Chun took a deep breath and then ordered: "Open the position and launch."
Not only the 439th boat he was on, but the other two nuclear submarines also kept the same pace as them. This fleet was led by him.
Multiple Yu and Yu-10 heavy torpedoes were fired from the launch tubes of three nuclear submarines. On the other side, the Russian fleet, which was slack and lacked real fighting spirit, did not even start official sonar work until the torpedoes approached at high speed and emitted a terrifying sound. After the water splash was seen by the observer with the naked eye, the alarm sounded.
"Submarine, submarine, we are ambushed," a sailor shouted in panic.
Fleet Commander Baldin, who was on the flagship cruiser Glorious, changed his face and shouted angrily: "Evade, quickly evade"
But it is too late, especially the Yu-10 supercavitating torpedo fired by the Type 096 attack nuclear submarine, which can reach a speed of 20 knots. Almost all ships in the water cannot avoid this high-speed torpedo. This heavy-duty torpedo plunged into the side of the bow of the Glory with powerful kinetic energy. Not to mention that it also had a warhead. Even if it was a blank bomb, the power caused by its speed was enough to destroy the ship. The shell is torn open.
After the supercavitating torpedo hit the cruiser Glorious, it immediately opened a big hole in the 10,000-ton cruiser. The water column generated by the explosion pressed against the hull and rose several meters high. Even Baldin felt like he was being thrown away on the ship. Get up, and then fall on the water again.
What's more surprising is that another fish torpedo launched by 09- also hit the cruiser. This torpedo was in a better position and hit the cruiser's midship part below the waterline, causing a large amount of seawater to pour back. , the sailors didn't even have time to do damage control. In fact, submarines ambushing in the water cannot accurately determine which ship of the Black Sea Fleet is which ship through passive sonar, so the larger ones are their main targets.
In addition to the Glorious being hit, three other Black Sea Fleet ships were hit by torpedoes. The worst was a Milka-class frigate. This kind of light frigate has only a thousand tons of weight and was directly hit by a fish heavy torpedo. , it was cut into two pieces without any suspense. The power of the explosion was so huge that it even directly tore apart the bridge superstructure of the Milka-class corvette. In an instant, the corvette was gone. What a ship looks like.
Baldin stood firm and felt a slight pain in his head, but still insisted on directing the battle, "Quick, quick, we have to find these Chinese submarines. Their threat is too great."
Kravchenko, who could not find his military cap, grabbed Baldin and shouted: "Commander, the Glorious is dying. We must change to a flagship so that you can continue to command."
Baldin had clearly seen that the things on the table began to slowly slide down, which meant that the Glory had tilted and might sink soon. However, before Baldin could make a decision, the ship's air defense The sirens blare.
"An enemy plane, an enemy plane is coming. Where are our anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft missiles?"
Before the sailors who were manipulating weapons could resume operations from their fighting positions, they saw several planes the size of sesame seeds dropping something and then quickly pulling it up.
"Damn, anti-ship missiles"
The first to launch the strike were the B14CN Tomcat fighters that took off from the Shandong. These fighters were all equipped with a pair of Eagle Strike-air-launched anti-ship missiles, composite missiles, mounted on the heavy-duty pylons in the middle of the air intake. The main pylon carries two air-to-air missiles with four close ranges. Their mission is very simple. After throwing away the anti-ship missiles, they will escort other attack aircraft. The Chinese version of the Tomcat has gained a certain degree of ground strike capability, but among the fighter aircraft in the entire military, it is considered to be a fighter with relatively weak strike capability, so the Navy still mainly uses it as an air superiority fighter.
The Qiang that followed did not consider the issue of stealth at all. Each wing carried four YJ-or YJ-18 anti-ship missiles. In fact, when Qiang originally modified the design, in order to adapt to the needs of the navy, its larger missiles The magazine is actually filled with small and medium-sized anti-ship missiles, but the Navy does not like to use it this way. The magazine is mainly used to hang guided bombs.
The continuous attacks by HNA made the Black Sea Fleet, which had just been attacked by a nuclear submarine, become even more confused. Baldin's orders could no longer be effectively conveyed to the other ships.
The effect of why Li Chun had to wait for that moment before launching the torpedo attack was finally revealed. A good tactical master will not only calculate the firepower and scale of his own side, but also the speed and rhythm. Although Li Chun is a submarine captain, he also pays attention to the coordination and hierarchy of three-dimensional strikes.??
The cooperation between submarines and naval forces made the strikes more rapid and effective, leaving the Black Sea Fleet breathless.
