The Blackfish 11, which suffered an unthinkable disaster, had to take the most cautious response, carefully avoiding any sound on the water surface at a speed of 2 knots, which brought great psychological pressure to the officers and soldiers of the boat.
Zhao Yunlong and the political commissar quickly reached an agreement and decided to launch battlefield mobilization. The key point is that our boat is one of the very few that can lurk in the core protection circle of the aircraft carrier without being discovered.
Maintaining this state until the planned time is up is a great victory.
Forced floating and active floating are completely different. The former means failure, while the latter represents victory.
Quickly unify the thoughts of the officers and soldiers on the boat and let everyone clearly know the direction and goals. This is the role of ideological education, a fine tradition of our military.
Zhao Yunlong, also known as Zhao Zilong, had an astonishing record of seven in and seven out when he was the captain of the conventional submarine force. Everyone thought that he lacked patience in his character. However, how could someone who can serve as a submarine commander lack patience? , the most important thing is patience.
Although there were less than three hours left before the time set by the Supreme Command, Zhao Yunlong did not have the slightest impulse and still directed the Blackfish 11 to conduct careful maneuvers with great patience.
Li Hai on the water had no idea about this. He neither knew that the Blackfish troops had nuclear weapons, nor did he have the authority to know.
When he was still in the Flying Shark Force, he knew that the Blackfish Force's confidentiality level was higher than that of most troops and higher than the Second Artillery.
Sweeney, probably because of what happened to Sherfield, was determined to find the underwater AIP submarine. Two hours later, instead of reducing the intensity of the submarine search, he intensified it and even decided to continue this deployment at night.
This puts Blackfish No. 11 under greater pressure.
It was not until dawn that the Discomfort ended its high-intensity anti-submarine deployment and switched to regular submarine searches.
Sweeney and Sherfield felt very strange. They had to believe that the AIP submarine did not maneuver to the west of the Sulawesi Sea, but stayed in the waters of Dolan Island-west of the Luojing Channel.
"This is not like Liu Haikang's style. I know this person. He directs operations step by step and is very cautious in doing things. He will not take the initiative to expose himself without a back-up plan." Sweeney said in a deep voice.
Sweeney previously mentioned that he had several exchanges with Liu Haikang, the captain of the No. 53 ship, during the Rim of the Pacific military exercise. With the help of relevant information collected by the "Shirley" intelligence system, it is not difficult to make a decision about Liu Haikang. A relatively accurate analysis.
The "Shirley" intelligence system is a very powerful personnel analysis system that can conduct personality analysis by collecting people's voices.
Sherfield frowned and suddenly said, "What if the commander is not Liu Haikang? I mean, there is someone else who is the commander of ship No. 53."
"How could it be..." Sweeney said subconsciously, and then thought that the Rim of the Pacific military exercise has been held for four or five years, and it is entirely possible that Liu Haikang has been transferred from the No. 53 ship.
Sherfield said, "Their officers generally serve no more than four years. I highly doubt that you were wrong to regard Liu Haikang as your imaginary enemy before."
Seeing Sweeney meditating, Sherfield recalled, "Although I have never met Liu Haikang, I still have an understanding of this man's fighting style. Judging from my experience with the No. 53 ship, this man is very thoughtful." Acting boldly is not in line with Liu Haikang's cautious character."
Sweeney came to carefully read the report on the movement trajectory of the No. 53 ship during the past period, and had to agree with Sherfield's judgment.
After nearly ten hours of time-consuming and laborious anti-submarine deployment, it might turn out to be an empty city strategy, which made Sweeney feel very uncomfortable.
The Discomfort was already strong but incompetent, and it was on a downward trend. Wisney was becoming more and more doubtful about whether it could complete its mission.
The crew of the Discomfort was infected with an unknown pneumonia, and he strictly blocked the news. If it was leaked to the outside world, the overall combat capabilities of the Discomfort and even the entire Anglesan Pirates would be questioned.
Sweeney ordered to continue advancing at full speed toward the Luojing Waterway, and at the same time, the three Poker classes returned to high-speed sailing column mode, canceling the prevention and control formation. Although Sherfield felt something was wrong, as a guest, he could not influence Sweeney's conduct too much.
It was at this time that Dang Weimin, Xue Zhengrong and others who were waiting anxiously at Musa Air Station finally received orders from their superiors - to implement the new combat plan.
Led by fighter No. 037, a fleet of four J-15s and four J-8HGs drove out of the apron, strolled on the taxiway like an elephant, and then took off in a dense double-jet takeoff.
It was January 27th, the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the seventh day that the No. 53 ship went to sea.
After taking off, the fighter jets took a shortcut and flew to the western part of the Sulawesi Sea. In the process, they completed the formation of the fleet. The flight altitude was more than 9,000 meters, the most economical and airworthy altitude. The nine fighter jets formed a large fleet, regardless of concealment. question.
This is both a deterrent to the target and a way to achieve maximum range.
To put it simply, the pilots of the nine fighter jets flew the fighter jets like passenger planes, using the maximum taxiing distance and the most appropriate climb rate to achieve the purpose of taking off with the least amount of fuel. The fuel saved even if they stay in the mission airspace for one more time. Minutes are of great help to Li Hai.
After climbing to 9,900 meters, the eastern sun became clearly visible. Xue Zhengrong pulled down the visor of his flight helmet and piloted No. 037 to lead the fleet to keep flying at this airspace level.
What is unavoidable is that when entering the airspace in the central Alasu Sea, the fleet must lower its flight altitude to below 7,000 meters, because there are many civil aviation routes densely intersecting in the above airspace layer, and it is necessary to avoid conflicts with the activity areas of civil aviation passenger aircraft.
An hour later, at 5:05, the No. 53 ship established contact with the air support unit and confirmed that the air support unit would arrive in the designated airspace on time at 5:30 to rendezvous with the No. 53 ship.
Li Hai immediately made the Z-9C(H) carrier-based helicopter ready to take off at any time.
Because the No. 53 ship’s own carrier aircraft is in the hangar, the domestically produced naval Z-9 of the New Youth ship has been parked on the flight deck. The maintenance staff have kept intensive inspections on it to ensure that it can take off at any time. .
Zhuang Xiaoying suddenly came to the bridge to find Li Hai and said resolutely, "I will stay on the ship to continue my reporting mission. As a military reporter and a war correspondent, this is also my position."
Li Hai turned around and looked at Zhuang Xiaoying and said, "Didn't we agree that you would take the ship's interview team back to the New Youth Ship? You were supposed to interview them."
"Captain Li, you mean to treat me as a tool and throw it away after use. You are irresponsible." Zhuang Xiaoying raised her chin slightly and argued with reason.
"I didn't mean that..." Li Hai looked around, motioned to Zhuang Xiaoying to take a step to speak, and then came to the corridor outside the bridge.
Li Hai then said in a deep voice, "Didn't I tell you? You have to take the relevant materials back and help our ship set up a few models. You can't do anything if you stay here."
"I've already contacted you about what you told me, and my colleagues will follow up." Zhuang Xiaoying said sincerely, "Please understand my work. For me, the next time is very important. You should know what happens next." The things that may happen and the scenes that appear are things that most military reporters will never see in their lifetime."
Li Hai frowned and stared at Zhuang Xiaoying. This girl was not a utilitarian person, something was wrong. But after thinking about it, Zhuang Xiaoying was right. The pursuit of career can have nothing to do with utilitarianism. Zhuang Xiaoying likes to be a military reporter, how could she easily miss the scene of a close-range confrontation with an aircraft carrier?
At this time, Chen Qiming walked over and when he arrived, he said, "Xiaozhuang is right. She is a war reporter, and this is her position. Let her stay."
The political commissar has agreed, and Li Hai can no longer insist. Moreover, according to the new countermeasures, the danger faced by the No. 53 ship has been greatly reduced.
Li Hai shook his head helplessly, "Okay, you've already carried out the political commissar, can I still say no?"
"Thank you, Captain Li." Zhuang Xiaoying stomped her feet happily. She was really worried that Li Hai would let someone put her on a helicopter. He could really do it.
Zhuang Xiaoying left happily, while Li Hai and Chen Qiming stood side by side on the railing.
In the past period of time, Chen Qiming had been talking to the officers and soldiers in each cabin and arranging life matters, which greatly relieved Li Hai's worries.
Like everyone else, Chen Qiming now admires Li Hai with admiration. If anyone questions Li Hai's ship command and combat capabilities, Chen Qiming will be the first to refuse.
He even had to suspect that Li Hai's previous performance was hiding his clumsiness.
After the army entered wartime, the presence of the political commissar plummeted, but this does not mean that the role of the political commissar declined. The troops must be knitted into one, and the requirements for military chiefs and political chiefs are the same.
Li Hai was fortunate to have met a good political commissar who fully supported his work.
"The officers and soldiers are determined, all party groups are fighting bravely to take the lead, and their morale is high." Chen Qiming briefly reported the situation.
Li Haicheng said sincerely, "Political commissar, thank you."
Waving his hand, Chen Qiming smiled and said, "You and I are partners, so it's not appropriate to say polite words. To be honest, before arriving in the waters of Dolan Island, I was always worried that you would smash the golden signboard of Ship No. 53. I was a frog in the well." "
"Political Commissar, you just said that it was not appropriate to speak politely, but you became more polite." Li Hai was not one to mince words. He liked the way Chen Qiming spoke. He said, "Ship 53 is a group with extremely strong combat effectiveness. If it were someone else, You can only conduct better than me."
Chen Qiming laughed and said, "Let's stop being modest."
He straightened his expression and said, "Do you know how far the unknown pneumonia on the Unwell will spread and how long it will take?"
Li Hai said in a deep voice, "According to the information disclosed by relevant medical institutions, this type of pneumonia is extremely contagious and spreads very quickly. The Discomfort will definitely isolate the infected crew members, but this can only delay the spread. Basically, It cannot be eradicated. Judging from the changes in the dispatch rate of the shipboard aircraft in the past month, it is very likely that the incubation period of the virus is almost over."
"Are you saying that there will be an explosive epidemic in Wuhan soon?" Chen Qiming asked.
Li Hai nodded affirmatively, "Yes, it will definitely be like this."
"After the interview team on board the ship was transferred, we met up with the air support team and immediately launched a round of confrontation. The current weighing of the Discomfort will soon be known."
