Chapter 485

As soon as he said this, Edwards was also full of disbelief, and immediately looked at Mitchell: "commander, are there our submarines in this area?"

Mitchell was stunned. He did not expect that this reporter's attention was actually on the U.S. submarine. He reluctantly counseled: "the sturgeon class nuclear submarine, sheshuiyu, which monitors the Soviet Navy's movements in Jinlan Bay."

Then he pointed to the floating sonar buoy nearby: "but now it doesn't matter whether we have submarines. The key point is that China has sent anti submarine patrol aircraft and discovered the sheshuiyu. Damn, our reconnaissance ship is only equipped with simple air detection equipment, but who would have thought that China would send anti submarine patrol aircraft in such bad weather? ”

with that, Mitchell began to complain nervously. Because of the prediction of the Chinese Navy, the US Navy in Subic did not use the most advanced large-scale reconnaissance ship when dispatching the reconnaissance ship.

After all, the aging of Chinese naval vessels is obvious to all. Coupled with the weak air force, it is a bit overqualified to send super reconnaissance ships to track the large-scale maritime formation of the Soviet Union. The ordinary small and medium-sized reconnaissance ships of more than 1000 tons are enough. Even in some aspects of electronic equipment, such medium-sized reconnaissance ships are stronger than the whole Chinese fleet.

However, the electronic equipment of small and medium-sized reconnaissance ships is good, but they have been emasculated in air detection. There is no way that the ship platform of more than 1000 tons is so big, and they have to plug as many electronic detection, monitoring, signal interception and electronic countermeasures equipment as they can.

It is easy to cause mutual interference. If the super strong air detection equipment is added, the whole reconnaissance ship will be in a mess. Therefore, the "thinker" is actually equipped with an ordinary sea to air radar, whose main function is to check the surrounding sea conditions and avoid collisions between ships.

In this case, it is impossible to detect and recognize the air target effectively.

Of course, no one took this defect seriously before departure, because the air force of the Chinese navy was not only insufficient in quantity, but also terrible in quality. Therefore, the US Navy in Subic, including Mitchell, believed that the Chinese Fleet without air force support was a piece of fat floating on the sea, and it didn't need to pay so much attention to prevention.

In fact, as they expected, there was not even a decent combat aircraft in the sky of the Chinese fleet, except that yun-8 maritime patrol aircraft, which often appeared in the sky, provided negligible communication support.

Even so, yun-8 maritime patrol aircraft are not always accompanied by the Chinese fleet, and the strength of support is not strong, which shows that the number of yun-8 maritime patrol aircraft in the hands of the Chinese navy is insufficient, or the attendance rate is low due to poor maintenance.

But in any case, it shows that the Chinese Fleet tracked by the "thinker" is not a cause for concern.

So when we monitored the sturgeon class nuclear submarine sheshuiyu in Jinlan Bay, we found that the b-79 "Foxtrot" class conventional submarine left the port and quietly bit the Chinese fleet for a series of underwater training. The following sheshuiyu also played the role of Mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches.

First, in order to continue its tracking and surveillance mission, we hope to catch the Soviet Union's ballistic missile nuclear submarine by biting the b-79 "Foxtrot" class conventional submarine; second, we want to further test the Soviet Union and China's anti submarine reconnaissance and combat capabilities through our own hidden tracking; finally, we want to cooperate with the "thinker" to collect underwater voiceprint and communication intelligence.

In a word, the silent sheshuiyu was just like a ghost, watching all kinds of performances of the Soviet Union and the Chinese people. It was only when she was hit by the acoustic signal from an active sonar buoy into the dark pressure hull and had been hiding underwater for more than a week that she realized that she had been discovered.

The sheshuiyu nuclear submarine is unbelievable, and even more incomprehensible to lieutenant colonel Mitchell. He is a moderate in the US Navy, and he belongs to the kind of person who is not ready to do anything.

The reason why he looked down on the Chinese fleet in front of Edwards was not intentional, but a real conclusion drawn through a lot of research, so Mitchell was not afraid, so Mitchell was not afraid.

Until he found that the Chinese anti submarine patrol plane was hovering over his head.

When will China have anti submarine patrol aircraft? Isn't their anti submarine bie-6 ready to retire? Isn't the newly developed water detonation 5 unstable? What's more, aren't these two planes deployed in the north?

One question after another made Mitchell's head wrinkle, but he still couldn't think of a reason. However, Edwards turned his attention from the nuclear submarine to the Chinese anti submarine aircraft at this time, but it was also not clear how the Chinese side suddenly had the anti submarine aircraft.

Just at this time, there was a roar in the sky. A twin engine plane dived down from the sky full of clouds. Edwards quickly picked up his telescope and looked at the plane breaking through the clouds, and immediately exclaimed, "it's ann-26!"

"No, it's a modified ann-26!" Commander Mitchell, also with the telescope, corrected, "look under the belly."

Edwards discovered that a streamlined module was installed under the belly of an-26, with a semicircular drum in the front section, an obvious embedded semicylindrical bulge in the middle, and several honeycomb components in the last section."This is..."

Edwards wanted to say something, but he didn't know how to describe it. There was no way. The streamlined structure under the belly of an-26 was so strange that Edwards, as a journalist, didn't know what language to describe it.

……

"I didn't expect that there was a big fish under the water."

Above the sky, on the improved an-26, which was lowered from 1500 meters to 600 meters, song Changzheng held the control rod in his hand and said with a happy face. He immediately turned his head to the cockpit behind him and cried, "Lao Zhou, do you know what model it is?"

"If you know, you don't have to lower the height. You can tell by voiceprint recognition system." There are four or five display devices in the simple cabin. A bald middle-aged man sat on a temporary chair and looked at the display in front of him. He said helplessly: "no way, we don't have the corresponding submarine voiceprint database. Even if we find it, we don't know which country or model it is."

With that, his helpless face became excited again: "but this is not the most important thing. The voiceprint database of submarines can't be established slowly. As long as we have such aviation anti submarine equipment, it's not difficult at all, oh By the way, after the end of this mission, your plane will be handed over to us. Anyway, you're the one who flies the plane. It's the same if you change one. "

Song Changzheng refused politely: "that's not good. What kind of plane has an antisubmarine that can catch fish? I tell you Lao Zhou, catching fish, ah ~ ~ no, it's anti submarine, but I'm serious. "
