The Taishan is now heading in the direction of the torpedo. This is just a routine operation. It is better than exposing the noise source of the propeller to the torpedo. However, today's opponents have an overwhelming advantage in numbers. I am afraid that this trick of the Taishan will be useless in the end. Useless.
The five torpedoes are obviously pilot torpedoes, which can be seen from the speed of the torpedoes.
All torpedoes are now moving forward slowly, obviously under the control of the mother ship, trying to save power to maximize their range. This state is usually used for torpedo attacks when the mother ship cannot accurately grasp the target position.
This requires the torpedo to move towards the approximate target location at a not too high speed, while the mothership continues to search for the target using its own or the sonar on the torpedo.
This can ensure that the mothership can keep a distance from the target, thereby ensuring its own safety and not being suddenly ambushed by an unknown target.
But today's situation is obviously not in line with the above situation.
Nuclear submarines that need to be concealed to ensure their own safety will never use active sonar to detect everywhere like the five nuclear submarines around the Taishan now.
In just a short while, the Kung Fu Taishan received two more active sonar pulses, not counting several misses and no direct hits.
What's going on?
The only thing that can make people breathe a sigh of relief is that these slow torpedoes will take a few minutes to reach the current position of the Tarzan.
But no matter what the situation is, no matter how long it takes, the Taishan is now in a bad situation. Except for the fan-shaped encirclement in the west-north direction, there is no safe place to go in other directions.
A few nautical miles to the south is a large area of floating ice. There is an electronic chart here on the Taishan, but the worst part about the polar ice floating area is this.
The ice floe conditions are changing every minute, and the ice floe here should be connected to the ice cap of the Antarctic continent.
If you want to dive under this ice floe without turning on active sonar, I'm afraid it's impossible. But if you turn on active sonar, you basically don't want to avoid torpedoes.
Change direction and head east? Passive sonar shows that there are several weak noise targets on the water to the east, which should be relatively far away, but the anti-aircraft missile just now seems to have come from that direction, even if it is not a surface ship formation, and it is definitely not friendly.
However, the seabed beneath our feet is also flat. The legend on the chart is made of sand and gravel. Not to mention trenches or undersea mountains, there is not even a seafloor wrinkle. The Taishan has no cover now.
"Report! The forward torpedo room pipes were broken in two places, and the damage control has been completed!" Zhao Rongguang appeared at the door of the command room as if he had just been fished out of the water, reporting the situation in a low voice, but he saw the man occupying his helmsman position. Xu Siqi yelled "嘢".
Although Xu Siqi did not make any mistakes, he was sitting on pins and needles in the helmsman's position. When he saw Zhao Rongguang coming in, he stood up and gave up his seat without even thinking. Su Qin, who had been standing behind him, pushed him back. .
"Go back to the forward torpedo warehouse. I remember we still have two decoy bombs." This is the only ammunition left on the Taishan besides small arms. The others, including the air curtain bombs, have been collected. gone.
Because the decoy bombs had to simulate the acoustic characteristics of each boat, they were not simply taken away and re-distributed to other boats for immediate use, so they were able to temporarily stay on the Taishan and become a fish that slipped through the net.
"I can't handle that thing by myself!" Zhao Rongguang took a breath. The size of the decoy bomb was not much smaller than that of the torpedo. It was lighter, but it was definitely not something that one person could control.
"You go check it out first, and I'll send someone to you from the back cabin right away." Academician Wang really just remembered this matter.
"Academician Wang, is there any way to get in touch with that nuclear submarine?" The violent turbulence just now completely stunned Xiao Song. It took him a while to recover and be able to come up with some ideas.
"No, unless both of our submarines are on the water." Academician Wang answered simply. Submarines generally only have one communication device still working underwater, a long-wave receiving station that only receives but does not transmit.
"There is an underwater phone in the sonar room." Zhao Rongguang, who had just run to the factory gate, suddenly interrupted.
"It was installed when we were doing experiments on our boat. It is not installed on other boats in our detachment, but I heard that nuclear submarines now have it."
"You dare to inquire about anything." Zhao Rongguang violated discipline. Academician Wang had to say a few words to him, but the boy didn't even stop and ran away without a trace.
Zhao Rongguang didn't say it, but Academician Wang really didn't think of it. When he went on board the boat for experiments, the hydroacoustic communication equipment was installed directly in the sonar room for the convenience of the experiment, and it was not even on the brother boat.
Academician Wang never thought that there was such a communication device on his boat. It was really fortunate that Zhao Rongguang was a signal soldier and belonged to the communication department of the boat.
However, there is really no extra manpower in the command room, and Zhao Rongguang cannot be called back. There is still a high possibility that the decoy bombs will be used. Academician Wang was afraid that there would not be enough manpower in the engine room when he was scheduling shifts.
The few remaining navigation department personnel in the command cabin were sent to support, leaving only Zhao Rongguang, who was unscrupulous and did not dare to let him go to the back cabin to help. This was because he did not expect that he would need to dive after landing. You have to enter a state of anti-submarine combat.
At this time, Academician Wang must not leave the command position. After much thought, he could only leave this matter to Xiao Song. Anyway, it was the same.
There are no soldiers in the command cabin who can wear headphones and use sonar. Su Qin has been messing around on the computer screen.
Fortunately, although Xiao Song had to shoulder the responsibility of administrative management during his long-term work, it was purely a bunch of old academics bullying people because they were lazy and did not want to do chores. At least Xiao Song himself did not fall into it.
He still participated in a lot of research work. To sum up, Xiao Song's ability to debug various instruments and equipment by himself is still there, and it is definitely better than ordinary equipment operators who follow the instructions.
In Xiao Song's opinion, except for the underwater part related to the sonar, she can guess what the other parts of the line do, so it is natural to operate it. Effortless, but...
"I need an underwater communication ID!" After working for a few minutes, Xiao Song shouted for help.
"Such a thing is necessary to initiate a connection request."
Nonsense, of course not. This is a submarine anyway, and the Tarzan is a very serious and organized machine of military violence.
