The middle and lower areas of Huangbu Sea Area.
"boom!"
Another ten minutes passed. The last Yuba anti-submarine missile carried by Bihai No. 1 entered the water and exploded. There was a loud noise on the sea surface. Then, on the sea surface 500 meters to the right of the target, the sea water seemed to be boiling. It keeps rolling and rolling, and countless white bubbles emerge.
Dozens of large and small sea fish with white bellies floated on the sea surface. The fish's eyes were bright red and full of bloodshot eyes. Blood was constantly seeping from the fish's mouth, gills and anus.
Among them is a dragon grouper that is about one meter long.
Shock waves and sound waves containing high amounts of energy swept around. After just one second, the sea surface continued to shake like an earthquake. The Sea Wolf, which was dragging a short and thick sailing wake, was affected, and many small fragments fell off the right side of the hull again. It's like picking at the dandruff from your hair that hasn't been washed for more than ten days.
This is a new round of forced torpedo strikes returning to a distance of 500 meters after the second strike at a distance of 300 meters.
"Reporting to the command center, objects suspected to be anechoic tiles fell off the target again. The number is about fifteen pieces, and the latitude and longitude coordinate parameters are...huh? Wait, visual observation found that the target's speed has dropped, and the current speed is about 30 knots. , it is suspected that the speed of the boat was reduced due to damage to the hull, and other circumstances are temporarily unknown."
The drop-shaped glass cockpit reflects the dazzling light of all colors. Zhou Hai looked at the huge splash and countless waves in the sea below. His eyes fell on the sea wolf, and he evaluated the torpedo's forceful strike effect. He was recording and reporting the suspected news that the sea wolf had fallen off again. When looking at the sound tile object, it was suddenly discovered that the high-speed sea wolf suddenly slowed down, and its speed dropped from 39 knots to 30 knots per hour.
Reduced.
Yes, Sea Wolf's speed has finally slowed down.
After nearly an hour of continuous torpedo strikes, Sea Wolf seemed unable to withstand the torture and reduced its speed.
"Call No. 101. Can you confirm whether the other party is actively reducing the speed or passively reducing the speed?" In the dynamic encrypted communication channel, the male operator of the command center immediately became energetic while receiving the third suspected silence provided by Zhou Hai. The tile object falls off the coordinate parameters while asking key questions.
Is the goal to actively reduce the speed, or to passively reduce the speed?
Both situations are extremely important and must be judged carefully.
If it is the former, it means that the opponent may want to float up, indicating that the fighting will and spirit have been almost destroyed.
If it is the latter, it means that the opponent's fighting will and resistance are still there, but the speed has to be reduced due to a failure in the hull power system.
There is a huge difference between the two.
"I think it should be the latter. The opponent is a sea wolf after all, and it is not so easy to lose the will to fight and resist." Zhou Hai observed carefully. Although the speed of the sea wolf in the water below was reduced to 30 knots per hour, the speed It has not dropped again. From this point, it can be judged that the other party has no intention of being forced to rise.
"The command center received it, please keep visual tracking, are you in good condition?" the male operator recorded the judgment from Zhou Hai and responded.
The judgment given by Zhou Hai is very feasible. From the beginning of the wolf hunting plan to now, it has lasted for about an hour, and a total of six fish bombs and 12 depth bombs have been released. Although the number and power of these ammunition are very scary, in fact It's not enough to completely break the target's will to resist.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard.
"Report to the command center. I am in good condition. There are no problems. I am still under visual tracking." Zhou Hai answered truthfully.
"Beep!" Suddenly, a warning sound came from the sound element system in the glass cockpit. The airborne fuel indicator displayed on the main display showed yellow, and the fuel level had dropped to the 25% warning line.
"Report to the command center that Aircraft No. 101 is low on fuel. Request for aerial refueling." Seeing the airborne fuel indicator data, Zhou Hai looked calm and unfazed at all. While observing the Sea Wolf below, he sent a message to the command center for aerial refueling. Apply.
When the male operator of the Eastern Theater Operations Command Center heard the request from Zhou Hai, he did not dare to be careless. He immediately checked the location and relevant data information of the aerial refueling unit, and quickly replied: "The command center has received it and it is allowed to leave the combat position and carry out aerial operations." Come on, the scheduled refueling operation airspace has been established, the aerial refueling crew will arrive in the airspace in five minutes, and your aircraft will take about three minutes to fly."
After a long flight of fifty minutes, the IL-78 aerial tanker moving at high subsonic cruising speed has entered the middle of the Huangbu Sea, only 80 kilometers away from Zhou Hai's location.
However, because the IL-78 aerial tanker is too dynamic, in order to ensure safety, the scheduled refueling operation airspace is set up in the rear safety area.
"drop!"
The airborne data link receives the refueling airspace data and aerial refueling identification code sent from the command center, and the main head-up display emits a prompt tone.
"Unit No. 101 has received it. It is leaving the combat position. Call Bihai No. 1. Please help me keep an eye on the target. I will come as soon as I go."
After receiving the permission, Zhou Hai pushed up the throttle with his left hand, pulled the lever with his right hand, stepped on the rudder, rolled the fuselage half a circle to draw a beautiful arc, quickly turned around and flew back, not forgetting to contact Bihai Yi as he left. Unit No. 1, please give me some instructions.
"Bihai No. 1 has received it, and I will definitely keep an eye on it for you." In the dynamically encrypted communication channel, the female correspondent of Bihai No. 1 unit responded with a hint of respect in her words.
The Bihai No. 1 anti-submarine patrol aircraft is located three kilometers away from the right side of No. 101, flying at an altitude of three thousand meters and maintaining a speed of four hundred kilometers per hour. It is firmly locked on the aircraft through the anomalous magnetic detector, airborne search radar and photoelectric detection equipment. A sea wolf running wildly underwater.
In addition, the Bihai No. 2 anti-submarine patrol aircraft stayed about five nautical miles ahead of the Sea Wolf. The two anti-submarine patrol aircraft, one behind the other, combined with Zhou Hai's optical reconnaissance method like a dimensionality reduction strike, completely locked up the Sea Wolf.
"Thanks."
Zhou Hai thanked him softly, completed the U-turn, and raised the nose of the aircraft. The two WS-10C turbofan engines output high thrust, pushing the J-15C 'Tiger Shark' straight into the sky.
Climb, accelerate.
The altitude is eight thousand meters and the speed is nine hundred.
Three minutes later, Zhou Hai controlled the J-15C 'Tiger Shark' and arrived at the scheduled refueling airspace. After waiting for less than ten seconds, he saw a behemoth flying from the left rear. It was the Il that came specifically for him. -78 large aerial tanker.
After waiting quietly for about two minutes, the two aircraft entered the aerial refueling operation range and immediately adjusted the angle and position of the fuselage.
The IL-78 is in the front and the J-15C is in the back.
After the position and angle adjustments were completed, Zhou Hai carried out a series of procedures before refueling. He opened the retractable refueling probe, held the joystick in his right hand, and steered the J-15C toward the refueling hose released from under the IL-78 on the left. Be careful. And meticulous.
After three seconds, the telescopic refueling probe accurately enters the hose head and establishes the connection.
In an instant, streams of high-quality aviation fuel rushed like a flood, quickly passing through the refueling probe under pressure and entering the empty internal fuel tank of the fuselage to meet the needs of this oil-swallowing behemoth.
The internal fuel tank of the J-15C 'Tiger Shark' can hold nine tons of fuel. 25% of the fuel volume means that there are only 2.25 tons of fuel left. A full 6.75 tons of fuel need to be filled, which directly occupies the fuel of the IL-78 tanker. Quantity 10%.
If the H-6 modified tanker refuels the J-15C once, it will consume about 33% of the fuel capacity.
Seven minutes later, the aerial refueling was completed, and the main HUD onboard fuel quantity parameter was 100%. Zhou Hai immediately controlled the fighter plane to disconnect the refueling connection, retracted the telescopic refueling probe, said goodbye to the big nanny IL-78, and flew smoothly away from the safe area. After that, he immediately turned around and headed towards the target airspace.
The core of the wolf hunting operation lies in Zhou Hai's eyes. If Zhou Hai is out of the fighting position for too long, problems are likely to occur.
Three minutes later, Zhou Hai controlled the No. 101 J-15C to return to the fighting position, still maintaining an altitude of 5,000 meters and reducing the speed to 400 kilometers per hour, at the best dynamic observation angle.
The sea wolf below was still fleeing, but its speed had dropped again, from 30 knots per hour to 27 knots per hour. While Zhou Hai was flying to refuel, the sea wolf underwater was hit by another torpedo.
The Yuba anti-submarine missile worth 10 to 20 million yuan seemed to be free of charge. In just over an hour, a small target was already thrown into it.
The Sea Wolf's speed has decreased again, which is a signal that the opponent seems to be unable to support it. In addition, there is good news. As the Sea Wolf's speed continues to decrease, the 054A and 055 in the rear maintain a high-speed cruise of 32 knots for surface combat. The unit was finally able to catch up.
A submarine can run 39 knots underwater. Even the 054A with a Wushuang cannot match this speed, let alone the 055.
