The detection and monitoring of underwater frogmen by surface ships has always been an international problem. Although the navies of developed countries have advanced instruments for underwater monitoring and detection, they cannot detect non-submarine frogmen like frogmen. The detection accuracy of small underwater targets is often not very accurate. In the 1960s, bald eagles were even forced to train dolphins to deal with frogmen.
As a senior officer with a maritime background, Tanaka still cannot accept the Chinese Navy's leap in his inherent thinking. He even thinks that it is just a copycat and plagiarism, and there is not much of a qualitative leap in it.
Because of this, he asked his men such ridiculous and paranoid questions.
Inoue said: "We heard them using high-intensity spotlights to illuminate us and harassing us with noise sonar. We found that we have definitely discovered it, but whether we have grasped it so far... I don't know. .”
Tanaka's expression suddenly became subtle: "If that's the case... As a special forces officer of the Neon Nation, if you panic and choose to retreat when encountering the slightest situation, Inoue-kun, I feel sorry for your courage."
Inoue Shiro could only bow again: "Hai! The chief of staff is right!"
Tanaka saw that Inoue's attitude towards admitting his mistake was acceptable, and the anger on his face subsided a little. He opened the drawer, took out a briefing note from it, and handed it to Inoue.
"There is a piece of information here, you can take a look."
Inoue picked up the briefing, opened it, and glanced at it quickly.
"... The XX naval escort formation will dock at the J country base within three days for supplies, including the XXXX model guided missile destroyer and the comprehensive supply ship XX ship, etc..."
After reading the briefing, Inoue looked up from the paper, looked at his superior and asked: "What does the chief of staff mean..."
Tanaka said: "Some of the warships docked this time are ships that we have not conducted sonar testing before. I think their sonar characteristics are very valuable. Inoue-kun, this is a good opportunity for you to make a contribution."
Inoue is not an idiot. Tanaka has said it all. Of course he understands what his superior means.
This is to ask him to organize another underwater reconnaissance and arrange some small equipment in the opponent's military port to obtain the hull data and underwater sonar characteristics of a certain major country's naval vessels.
Of course, Tanaka didn't want to let go of such a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds.
"Hai! I know what to do!"
Inoue understood, bowed again, then turned and left.
"etc!"
Tanaka stopped Inoue.
Inoue turned around and asked respectfully: "What other instructions does the chief of staff have?"
Tanaka said: "To learn more, I don't think this formation will stay here for long. They are just supply."
Inoue said: "Hai, I know what to do."
Tanaka showed a satisfied smile and waved his hand gently: "Then please."
Inoue bowed again, turned and left.
After leaving the door, he walked straight towards the SBU unit's dormitory.
He wanted to convene a staff meeting immediately to formulate a feasible underwater reconnaissance plan and put it into action within three days.
The so-called SBU is a special force affiliated to the PLA Navy, similar to the amphibious reconnaissance group of the Rabbit Navy.
As early as a few years ago, when Neon dispatched its naval vessels to perform escort missions in the Gulf of Aden, the two destroyers "Lian" and "May Rain" at that time were carrying members of this force.
From then until now, every batch of PLA warships entering the Gulf of Aden for escort has carried SBU members on board, without interruption.
SBU (Special Guard Unit) is a special force created on March 27, 2001. Due to historical reasons, Hainan cannot have regular military weapons, so they took a step back and called this force "SWAT Team" or "Special Guard Unit". SWAT”.
The Special Guard Force is under the direct jurisdiction of the Self-Defense Fleet Headquarters and is based in Etajima. At the beginning of its establishment, the total number of people was 60, and now it has a total number of about 100 people.
Its backbone force is 4 squads, each with 18 people, divided into 2 squads. The captain of the special guard unit is a first-class sea lieutenant (equivalent to the rank of colonel or colonel), and the captain of the following squad is a first-class sea lieutenant (equivalent to the rank of captain).
At the beginning of its establishment, SBU planned to send people to learn SEAL's combat experience and technology, but in the end it chose John Bull's SBS.
The recruitment principles for SBU members are those who have a military rank of 3rd class or above, are under 30 years old, have served for more than 2 years, have superb diving skills, and are a member of an underwater explosive ordnance disposal team or a member of a maritime rescue team.
Team members must master at least one foreign language (mainly English), the ability to forcibly break in from the air and sea, and the ability to shoot accurately in the dark.
In terms of training, the Special Guard Team completely follows the training syllabus of the SBS squadron, and mainly implements training courses such as underwater penetration and free airborne through diving.
In addition, it is also specifically required to be able to speak Chinese and Hokkien, and its intention is well known to everyone on the road.
The SBU is well-equipped, mainly including P226 pistols, MP5A5 submachine guns, Type 89 folding stock assault rifles, HK416 carbines, M24 sniper rifles, etc. Underwater penetration is mainly carried out by wearing diving gear and small propellers.
In addition, the mobile vehicles available to the team when performing missions include rigid hull inflatable boats (RHIB), SH-60J, SH-60K or MCH-101 helicopters.
It can be seen from this that SBU has a strong background, and it is considered a top-notch elite unit even among the entire ZWD.
But Inoue didn't know that his boss's arrogance and his own recklessness would cost his team a heavy price.
There was a more powerful opponent who was shooting at the shooting range of the base opposite and was having a great time.
After Li performed several performances including restricted shooting, long-distance high-precision sniping and sniper rapid fire, all the snipers present were convinced.
Just like just now, Li Zheng used a bolt-action sniper rifle to blow up three small balloons 600 meters away in three seconds. Although the weather was sunny today, there was wind, and the small balloons kept shaking on the target board, making it impossible to hit them. It's difficult, but to hit continuously at such a fast speed, everyone present thinks that they don't have this ability.
"Okay! Take a look, take a look!"
Liu Weicai was very happy. He turned to his soldiers and said loudly: "You usually think that you will be invincible after learning some skills from me. Have you seen it now? What is world-class sniper level? This is it! Who of you are now? Want to come up and compete with Instructor Li on your marksmanship? Who will come? Who?"
The company commander was not soft-spoken at all when he complained about his own soldiers.
A good soldier must not only have good talents and foundation, but also be humbled by a bucket of cold water at the right time.
"Company Commander! We don't have this level, but do you?"
Some veterans started making noises.
"That's right! Company Commander, you have also participated in the army's sniper competition. Can you compete with Instructor Li?!"
"Show us after two moves!"
Facing the booing from the soldiers, Liu Weicai didn't get angry at all but laughed instead, saying, "Don't boo me here to set up rice seedlings for me. I'm not like you. Instructor Li and I had known each other for a long time. During the sniper competition between the whole army, he Right here, I was in the eliminated group and didn't make it to the finals. Do you think I can compare to him?
The company commander's humility left the soldiers speechless.
This time everyone truly believed in the fact that Li Zheng was a sniper king.
"Instructor Li, can you give us a sniper lesson while you are free today?"
"That's right, Instructor Li, please teach me some unique skills. It's rare for us to meet you here. You can teach us some life-saving skills!"
The scene was boiling.
Everyone wanted to become a disciple on the spot.
Liu Weicai said: "What are you so anxious about? Instructor Li didn't even eat lunch!"
He looked at his watch.
"What time is it now? Let's talk after dinner!"
After saying that, he turned around and was about to tell Xiao Jun to go eat first, but as soon as he turned around, he heard someone calling him.
"Company Commander, I just received a notice that the base headquarters asked you to go to Building 1 for a meeting immediately."
Taking a closer look, he was the company's correspondent.
"What's going on?"
"have no idea."
Generally speaking, if you say you don’t know, it’s a confidential meeting.
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Liu Weicai turned to Xiao Jun regretfully: "It's a pity. I wanted to have a chat with you for lunch, but it seems I can't. Old classmate, you won't blame me, right?"
Xiao Jun patted his arm and said, "If so, we have a long way to go!"
The correspondent added: "Captain Xiao, the head of the headquarters also asked you to pass."
"Me?" Xiao Jun was a little surprised: "Are you sure it's me?"
"That's right!"
Asking for a monthly ticket!
