    It was several Chinese submarines that carried out missile attacks on the US anti-submarine fleet.  China has deployed dozens of submarines in the Indian Ocean Fleet, and most of them are operating in the waters connecting South Africa and the Arabian Sea. In order to maintain the efficiency and reliability of the mission, even if the ship is operating alone, there are other submarines in the surrounding waters.  The submarine is on a mission, and if something happens, other ships can quickly rush in for reinforcements.

    Although the besieged 09-nuclear submarine did not report its exact location when it was besieged, the Indian Ocean Fleet Command in the general sea area still knew it.  Therefore, not only did Backfire bombers raid the anti-submarine fleet, but nearby submarines also took advantage of the U.S. anti-submarine fleet's large-scale reconnaissance to approach their opponents for surprise attacks.

    At the moment of the attack, several Chinese submarines did not care about their positions and were discovered by the other side. At this time, it was a life-or-death situation. They wanted to completely stun the US fleet with one blow, thereby creating a window for the trapped own side.  Submarine to get him out of trouble.

    Among these submarines are China's three main attack nuclear submarines, the Type 096, and one Type 0390 AIp submarine, all of which have the ability to launch submarine-launched anti-ship missiles, and something as outrageous as the Type 096 can also launch six anti-ship missiles at the same time  capabilities, in pursuit of firepower density and suddenness of strike, these Chinese submarines fired a total of more than twenty anti-ship missiles, rushing towards US ships as if they were free of charge.

    The U.S. anti-submarine fleet has six main battle surface ships. The USS Boone has been sunk just now. There are still two Albuquerque-class destroyers, three Perry-class frigates, and two support ships left.  Can be ignored.  Even the Ali Burke-class Aegis system has an iron-clad Aegis system, but it is still under great pressure when faced with Chinese anti-ship missiles incoming at supersonic speeds. The Aegis destroyers continuously launch several missiles to intercept, but the effect is not very good.  Both destroyers and two frigates were attacked by China's heavy anti-ship missiles and suffered heavy damage. Only the destroyer was in slightly better condition and did not sink quickly, while the other two frigates were basically hopeless.

    Upon seeing the sudden situation, the two American Seawolf-class submarines immediately launched a counterattack against the Chinese submarine. However, if the USS Virginia and the USS New Hampshire wanted to attack the Chinese submarine, they had to move at high speed and get close to the Chinese submarine before they could use torpedoes to attack.  Although the use of anti-ship missiles has a long range, it is obviously unable to attack Chinese submarines under the water.

    And the US anti-submarine aircraft also arrived at high speed at this time. As the most effective weapon against submarines, the US anti-submarine aircraft crew members firmly believed that they could pay a heavy price for these sloppy Chinese submarine soldiers.

    However, the reality is not what they imagined. The American anti-submarine aircraft that captured the Chinese submarine and prepared to launch an anti-submarine torpedo attack were attacked by anti-aircraft missiles that appeared from nowhere before they could show their dominance over the submarine.  A direct hit.  One anti-aircraft missile is obviously not enough for the P3 to fall directly from the sky, but it also directly makes it lose its combat capability, and it may be destroyed at any time.

    "Damn it, that missile was shot out of the water. Did the Chinese develop submarine-launched anti-aircraft missiles?" Upon seeing this, another anti-submarine aircraft immediately raised its fuselage and was no longer preparing to attack the Chinese submarine. After all, it would be sunk.  He was shot down by a Chinese submarine and was shot down. Although the exchange was quite cost-effective, his life was his own, and the driver who actually drove the war machine was not willing to just exchange it.

    Yes, the missile that attacks P3 is indeed a submarine-launched air defense missile developed by China, codenamed Thorn 6. It was first equipped with the Thunder mini-submarine for near-shore defense. It was later modulated and installed in the vertical launch unit of the Type 096 nuclear submarine, giving it  This itself is super powerful in attacking nuclear submarines against air targets.  Fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft and anti-submarine helicopters have always been the enemy of submarines. Unlike surface ships and submarines that have weapons to deal with them, they are unable to deal with air target submarines.

    During World War II, there were submarines equipped with anti-aircraft guns, but obviously in modern naval warfare, submarines cannot be required to surface and attack with anti-aircraft guns. The presence of submarine-launched anti-aircraft missiles obviously greatly reduces the vulnerability of submarines to air threats in actual combat.  .  The Thorn 6 submarine-launched anti-aircraft missile is a medium-range anti-aircraft missile with a range of more than -0 kilometers, which exceeds the attack radius of most light torpedoes. Therefore, anti-submarine aircraft have now become the hunting targets of submarines. It is really thirty years in Hedong.  The sense of time and space confusion in Hexi.

    With fixed-wing anti-submarine aircraft and anti-submarine helicopters unable to deal with Chinese submarines, several Chinese submarines from different directions completely dominated the battle.

    "It's now, let's rush out." The young captain of the trapped Type 09-type nuclear submarine gave the order excitedly. He originally thought that he would have to wait for a while before rescue would come, but he did not expect that his comrades would arrive so soon.  arrive.

    The propeller blades of the nuclear submarine began to rotate, the submarine slowly discharged the seawater in the water tank, and the hull began to slowly float upward. The whole process was quite thrilling. After all, as long as there was a slight mistake in this work, the entire submarine could be destroyed.  Nearly a hundred officers and soldiers were killed in the sea.  But they are still luckyFortunately, under careful control, the Type 09 submarine successfully rose from the seabed and sailed away in submersible mode.

    Other Chinese submarines are not bent on wiping out the U.S. fleet, because obviously the longer they stay here, the more U.S. ships will be transferred from South Africa, and by that time it will not be so easy to leave.  After sinking three US frigates, seriously damaging a US destroyer, and shooting down a US P3 and an E60 helicopter, five Chinese submarines began to return without losing any combat units.

    This is the first serious damage suffered by the U.S. Navy in the Indian Ocean theater. It is a serious blow to the morale of the U.S. expeditionary fleet. The threat of Chinese submarines in the eyes of the Americans has greatly increased, but the Americans are not completely without control.  income.  Tactical failure was exchanged for a certain strategic success.  09-The nuclear submarine trapped incident made the Chinese Navy understand that the US military still has considerable strength to carry out devastating attacks on Chinese submarines. Large-scale submarine activities around South Africa were forced to come to an end, and the Americans also gained relative access to and from South Africa.  The safety of navigation allows the expedition fleet to continue marching northward, threatening China's dominance in the Western Indian Ocean.

    Qi Yiming also sighed slightly when he learned in Dalinol that the Navy had decided to reduce submarine activities in the waters near South Africa where the US military has strong anti-submarine capabilities.  The Navy's decision cannot be said to be right or wrong. It is based on preserving its strength as much as possible for a decisive battle with the US military.  However, Zhang Juzuo's mission of weakening the U.S. fleet as much as possible before the decisive battle obviously could not be fully realized.

    "The U.S. military relies on South Africa to take off and land anti-submarine aircraft, plus the four anti-submarine aircraft and E60 Seahawks of the three-carrier fleet. If we dare not take risks, such a fleet can directly sail along the Mozambique Strait to Somalia, East Africa, and then  Attack our base in Mogadishu. In this way, our expected sea battle may be brought forward some time," Qi Yiming said, with deputy director Ye Yaozi sitting next to him.

    Ye Yaozi also followed Qi Yiming to live in Dalinuoer. Although Qi Yiming seemed to be avoiding Dalinuoer, he was actually very busy. Although Ye Yaozi wanted to take care of his children, he saw that Qi Yiming was so busy.  I couldn't bear it, so I followed Darinol to help.

    "In fact, the navy's plan is not wrong. We lack a strategic fulcrum near South Africa. Like this time when the submarine was besieged, we actually had to use all our efforts to rescue it. If we have a navy and air force base nearby,  With more power, the situation will be very different in the waters off the east coast of Africa. After all, we have the Mogadishu base. The US military's anti-submarine opportunities will be intercepted by our shore-based aviation, and the supply and operation of submarines will be more difficult.  "Reliable, the navy's plan is to continue to implement the harassment strategy in the waters off the east coast of Africa." Ye Yaozi expressed his opinion, and Qi Yiming also nodded slightly.

    Qi Yiming looked at the fleet position map displayed on his electronic screen and said: "Zhang Juzuo has already begun to gather the aircraft carrier battle group of the Indian Ocean Fleet. It seems that he has no hope of reporting on his submarine harassment strategy.  Now, I¡¯m starting to prepare for a head-on confrontation with the Americans. Hey, I¡¯m actually looking forward to this battle to see how a modern aircraft carrier battle is fought.¡±

    Ye Yaozi rolled his eyes and said: "Do you still know how the war will be fought? It's a joke. After all, this is Zhang Juzuo's first time in charge of a fleet battle. Although he is very capable, don't you feel worried?  ? If you lose this battle, what will you do? If you lose control of the western Indian Ocean, you know the consequences better than anyone. Seeing how carefree you are, I really want to bite you.  Woolen cloth."

    Qi Yiming looked at Ye Yaozi, who was already in his thirties but still young and beautiful, and couldn't help but laugh. He raised his arm jokingly and said, "Just bite it."

    Ye Yaozi was speechless that this forty-one-year-old guy was teasing her like this, and waved his arm open.

    Qi Yiming stopped playing around and said: "First of all, the possibility of us losing is relatively small. In terms of the advanced equipment, we surpass the United States by a lot, and relying on the two major bases of Gwadar and Mogadishu, the US military has  The east coast of Africa is definitely very difficult to move forward. Furthermore, even if we lose, I am not afraid. BB2l missiles are deployed in Somalia and Pakistan, and our red alert fleet is also on standby. If things go wrong, the Americans will  I will never celebrate a victory for more than three days.¡±
