Zhao Yunlong, who was trapped, had no more options - going up according to the plan would be equivalent to "surrendering" to the simulated Blue Army. If he does not float according to the plan, then he and his dozens of brothers will face a situation of lack of oxygen...
He could only release the communication buoy and send out a request for help, and then continued to dive.
Li Hai told Nan Zhi that he would arrive at sea area No. 17 within ten minutes, that is, the sea area between XXX point XXX east longitude, XXX point XXX north latitude,...,...,..., the four points connecting the lines.
Coordinate information will not be reported directly in military communications. That is to say, once specific coordinate information appears in voice communication, it means that the situation has become very urgent and it has reached the point where it does not matter whether it is confidential or not.
Code names are usually used.
The entire South China Sea is divided into several sea areas, each of which corresponds to different coordinate information and has a unique code name, such as Sea Area No. 17 where the Great Wall A is located. The compilation of code names is not sequential, but has a rather complicated set of compilation rules.
After Li Hai and others arrived at Forgotten Reef, they spent a lot of time learning such related information. Without this foundation, if Nanzhi asked him to fly to Sea Area No. 17, he would be blind. Without such a basic library reserve, he didn't even know that the fighters of the 167th Independent Group would always reserve protocol communications with the ships as long as they took off.
However, the protocol communication between ships and aircraft has no effect on Li Hai now - unless the Great Wall A floats or releases the communication buoy again, Li Hai has no way to get in touch with the boat.
Li Hai can only rely on himself for the time being, and Zhan Yuntian's combat effectiveness in the front cabin is negligible.
The Forgotten Reef Tower has clearly informed that the J-8F No. 81104 driven by Dang Weimin carried two air-to-ship missiles and took off five minutes ago and will arrive at the battlefield in thirty-five minutes. This is the most powerful deterrent against the Burke-class destroyers, but requires a wait of thirty-five minutes.
No. 81104 J-8F had to show the opponent the YJ-83K air-to-ship missile on the heavy mounting point on the wing to force the Burke-class destroyer to turn away.
The situation of the Great Wall A is not optimistic. Li Hai must find a way to help the boat reverse the battlefield situation as soon as possible and gain an advantageous attack position. According to the rules of confrontation drills, after one side obtains an advantageous attack position and locks the target, it can be judged as the winner.
Li Hai did not know the specific situation of the Great Wall Boat Armor and had no way to contact it. He could only rely on guesses and judgments.
Zhan Yuntian is a novice in fixed-wing fighter jets, but he is an anti-submarine veteran. The primary mission of the carrier-based helicopter he had previously flown was submarine search and anti-submarine warfare. The fact that he was capable at the deputy regimental level at such a young age proved that he had very rich combat experience.
He thought for a moment and said, "After a surface ship discovers a submarine, if it is two destroyers, they will usually form a T-shaped attack formation. One of them will use the port or starboard side to block the submarine's forward direction, and the other will keep the same direction as the submarine. axis. The two destroyers will circle and sail alternately according to the position of the submarine, always placing the submarine in their own attack semicircle."
"Isn't this the depth charge attack formation?" Li Hai thought for a while and asked.
Of course, naval pilots must be familiar with naval combat tactics, including submarine combat tactics. An excellent naval pilot must have a good basic theory of naval warfare. Naval fighters need to cooperate with other forces, and pilots need to have an in-depth understanding of the tactical characteristics of other forces.
When Lao Lu began to engage in infantry-tank coordinated operations, he sent the basic cadres of the tank unit to the Infantry Academy for training, and the combat cadres of the infantry unit went to the Tank Academy for training. Later, they simply merged to form the Armored Infantry Academy.
When the Dalian Naval Academy opened the pilot captain class, it was not just to explore the training model for aircraft carrier captains.
Zhan Yuntian said, "Ships that use anti-submarine rockets as submarine attack weapons often use this formation. The Burke-class does not have depth bombs. Its main anti-submarine weapon is ship-based helicopters. It uses a T-shaped position and is supplemented by ship-based helicopters. , we can achieve encirclement.”
"So we can search based on the wake of the Burke class."
Li Hai smiled immediately after hearing this and said, "I have an easier way."
With that said, he turned on the airborne radar, adjusted the mode to sea search, called up the radar signal characteristic parameters of the Burke-class destroyer from the database, clicked OK, and the airborne radar began to work.
Zhan Yuntian can't understand anything, but he can see everything. Seeing Li Hai's arrogant operation, his eyes almost popped out of his head, and he subconsciously said, "Does the J-7's airborne radar have such advanced functions?"
"This is the Dongsanguai J-7." Li Hai smiled proudly, "The airborne radar function is very powerful. The biggest feature is that the supporting database stores the radar reflections of 90% of the world's 1,000-ton or above warships. Signal characteristic parameters.”
Li Hai watched two small red dots immediately appear on the LED display. While flying over with the control stick, he activated the photoelectric detector installed under the nose of the aircraft. In less than two seconds, two Burke-class destroyers' The image appears.
"Suck..." Zhan Yuntian gasped, "Is this the J-7? The J-11's airborne radar is not that advanced, right?"
Being able to shock Zhan Yuntian, who has never smiled and had a serious expression, to the point where his beauty turned pale. This shows how powerful the airborne radar of No. 037 J-7EGGHS is.
Li Hai smiled and said, "It's not just the airborne radar, to be precise, it should be the situational awareness system on the entire aircraft, including airborne radar, photoelectric detectors, electronic detectors, infrared detectors, etc... …”
"This plane is a monster." Zhan Yuntian said with certainty.
Li Hai smiled and said, "This plane gets better and better as it flies, but it's not very easy to get started at first."
It has almost everything you want, and just right. There are not only technical innovations, but more importantly, targeted improvements based on extremely rich experience in actual combat and dangerous situations.
There are many ships underneath, including cargo ships passing by and fishing boats operating. This sea area is an international fishing ground and is also the intersection of several international waterways.
Therefore, if you rely on visual search, it will definitely take some time. After turning on the airborne radar to search the sea, it only took a few seconds for Li Hai to find the two Burke-class destroyers.
One of them is the "old friend" - the destroyer "McCampbell".
This Burke-class is not simple. He is a "ruthless character" who has suffered repeated defeats and battles. He has an indomitable energy. A few years ago, during a friendly confrontation exercise in the Mediterranean, a man was accidentally hit by his own USS Buffalo nuclear-powered attack submarine. After spending more than a billion dollars and more than a year to repair it, he has not yet recovered. Two months later, he collided with a Japanese fishing boat. Although the damage was not serious, he returned to the factory for two months.
This was the first confrontation drill mission for the ship once again. It formed a submarine search and anti-submarine search and anti-submarine formation with its sister ship USS McCain, and launched an interception-type confrontation drill against the USS Great Wall.
The destroyer USS McCain is also an "old friend".
This ship is also very unlucky and often encounters various accidents...
