Chapter 738: Formal Counterattack (asking for monthly votes)
"For acting..."
Aklimovich murmured, and his eyes changed accordingly.
But the first mate on the side looked at Gu Ji suspiciously, both as a reminder and as a question: "Captain, do you really believe in him and NATO?"
"At this point, do you have any better interception methods?"
"Captain, the torpedo entered 100 feet, 80, 70..."
Gu Ji asked back.
The submariner also shouted out the attack distance symbolizing the "countdown to death". Everyone was looking at the red-faced fat man, seemingly waiting for his final order!
"Change course immediately! Collide sideways!"
"yes!"
At the critical moment, Aklimovich chose to believe Gu Ji's proposal.
I saw the driver pulling the operating lever, and the submarine turned 180 degrees on the seabed. If it was really a delayed fuse torpedo, it could intercept the power to the maximum extent.
But if not.
Then this blow is enough to blow up the submarine in half! !
The next second.
Amidst the piercing sirens, two heavy torpedoes instantly hit the side of the submarine.
"Boom! Boom!"
The huge metal collision sound occurred on the left side of the submarine, and Gu Gu felt that the entire body of the "Losarik" was shaking slightly.
After all, this is a heavy-duty torpedo, with a single torpedo weighing at least over a thousand kilograms.
"It didn't explode! The torpedo is descending!!"
The first one to react was the sonar soldier.
They found that the torpedo lost power instantly after hitting the back of the boat, and sank to the bottom of the sea like two large iron blocks.
Aklimovich's pupils shrank sharply and he shouted hurriedly.
"Quick! Power at full speed, elevation angle 30, pull up!"
"Hold on tight!"
As a reminder, the driver immediately pushes the power lever.
I saw the submarine rising upwards like an onion on dry land, and all the submariners were leaning back. Gu Jize silently counted the countdown in his heart: "Three, two, one!"
"Boom! Boom!"
Two explosions and violent vibrations made the surrounding seawater seem to tremble.
Immediately afterwards, a large amount of mud and sand evaporated due to the huge impact, like a volcano that was awakened instantly, erupting magma-like mud mist.
"Now!"
Gu Ji clutched the safety lever beside him and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Turn off all power! Stay silent!!"
"Everyone, please stop talking loudly!"
As Aklimovich repeated the order, the shock wave also carried a large amount of sediment, completely swallowing the "Loshalik" submarine.
Ten seconds later.
The "Losarik" slowly sailed out of the mud and fog. The power propeller at the tail rotated slightly, almost no vortex was formed, and it was as quiet as a ghost.
At this time, the signal soldier suddenly took off his earphones and whispered "Captain" in a low voice.
When Aklimovich came over, he immediately showed the signal. It turned out that the Akula sent the satellite ultra-long wave communication, probably to confirm whether they were still alive.
Since even our own submarines can't judge their situation.
Not to mention the enemy's "Hook" submarine.
That is to say.
They succeeded!
Gu Ji hurriedly rushed up and stopped in front of the signal soldier and the red-faced fat man, "Captain, you can't reply. Now is the perfect opportunity for us to fight back!"
In the eyes of outsiders, the submarine "Losarik" is now in a state of being sunk by a heavy torpedo.
This will be their best disguise.
Once you choose to respond at this time.
Putting aside whether there is a mole in the Akula submarine, ultra-long waves can easily be detected in the sea, so the few attacks they just suffered were in vain.
so.
Keep silent, take advantage of the enemy's misunderstanding that they have been sunk, quietly approach them, and then sink them with a torpedo, and you can completely solve the matter! !
Aklimovich's eyes shone slightly.
Apparently he was quite interested in this move proposed by Gu Ji.
As everyone knows.
Whether it is launching anti-submarine missiles or heavy torpedoes, there is a certain amount of time for the forward movement.
The former needs to be boosted from the launch silo to a high altitude, and then separated from the warhead in the middle section, and finally falls into the sea in an arc at the end. The latter needs to open the torpedo tube first and fill it with seawater.
During these two "charging" periods, any submarine that is slightly more advanced will detect it in advance through sonar.
This is also the reason why the Norwegian Navy did not dare to launch an attack rashly and directly sink the submarine "Hook" of the mysterious sect.
Because as long as they take action.
It is very likely that the Hook will try its best to die together and launch ballistic nuclear missiles towards the Norwegian mainland before anti-submarine missiles or torpedoes attack.
At that time, it will be Norway that suffers greater losses.
But now.
The "Losarik" has an excellent hidden advantage. As long as it can approach the "Hook" quietly, even if it is detected that the torpedo tubes are activated, the enemy will not be able to do anything in such a short distance and time. react.
By then the submarine has been sunk and the ballistic nuclear missiles cannot be launched.
This crisis incident is completely over!
Think of this.
Aklimovich couldn't help but become more and more excited.
To him.
If it can really help Norway successfully resolve this coercive nuclear crisis, then the appearance of the "Losarik" in the Norwegian Sea will not only be written off, but it may also help Russia gain some additional benefits.
The next second.
In the shocked eyes of his men, Akelimovich nodded solemnly, accepting Gu Ji's proposal.
So, the signalman temporarily cut off the ultra-long wave receiver and retracted the submarine's external antenna.
Gu Ji dragged the red-faced fat man to the strategic table in the center of the control room and pointed to the noise area displayed on the screen on the table.
Now that they can neither use active sonar nor avoid the enemy's active sonar, they can only find a way to use the sound pollution area created by the Norwegian Navy fleet.
He whispered his plan.
The first step is to use the sound pollution area to surface, because the "Hook" was hit by the torpedo of the anti-submarine aircraft, the hull was damaged, and now it can't dive too deep;
The second step is to use passive sonar and detection robots to lock its position and approach quietly;
The last step is to launch heavy torpedoes to destroy the target at close range.
"Although the plan is simple, we don't have much time to act."
Gu Ji pointed to the location of the other two Russian submarines on the sea chart.
Because the communication was cut off.
If the Russian military determines that the "Losharik" has been sunk, it is likely to launch anti-ship missiles to take revenge on the Norwegian Nansen-class frigate, and then a war will be inevitable.
So.
They must get rid of the "Hook" before the frontal war breaks out.
"Don't worry, we still have at least 20 minutes before this missile is launched!"
Akelimovich is very clear that whether it is the "Akula" or the "Severodvinsk", if they want to launch a missile at Norway, they need the order of the base command center.
The decision of the base comes from the result of the meeting and discussion of the Ministry of Defense.
It still takes a lot of time to pass it from one level to another.
There is no time to lose.
Akelimovich directly ordered the driver to use electric propulsion auxiliary power to let the submarine move up slowly.
All sonar soldiers put on monitoring headsets and used passive sonar to find the location of the "Hook", and launched two detection robots at the same time.
This is a micro robot with a torpedo-like structure. It has four searchlights and a 360-degree rotating spherical underwater high-definition camera on its head, as well as passive sonar and various sensors.
It can remotely transmit the images outside the submarine to the inside in real time.
Previously, Rustam and others interfered with the signal, so it has not been used.
When everything in the submarine returns to normal, it is not as wide as the sonar detection range and high accuracy.
The only advantage is that it is extremely difficult to be discovered, so it is only suitable for the current state of latent reconnaissance.
As the scanning robot detaches from the submarine.
Gu Ji also saw the real-time picture on the screen of the strategic table.
In fact, it is similar to what he saw through the observation window on the "Flying Leap".
Because the deep sea is extremely dark.
Searchlights are needed for supplementary lighting, so the pictures taken by the camera are all grayish blue, accompanied by the sound of "gurgling" bubbles flowing in the sea water.
"Captain, the detection robot seems to have a problem!"
At this time, the submarine soldier in charge of controlling the robot suddenly turned around and shouted.
Gu Ji and the others hurried over.
Through the passive sonar information transmitted back by the robot, he clearly heard a low-frequency vibration of "bang bang bang", "This is the engine..."
"Captain! Look!!"
The next second.
Amid the exclamation of the operator, a huge black shadow appeared in the detection screen! !
It turned out to be a submarine!
"This is..."
"From the appearance, it is the Virginia-class attack nuclear submarine of the United States!"
Aklimovich saw the model of the submarine at a glance.
The first mate on the side immediately changed his face.
"Quick! Turn around at full speed immediately!"
"Don't move! Don't forget, except for the Norwegian Navy, we have already sunk in the eyes of other ships!"
Gu Ji hurriedly pressed the shoulder of the mustache first mate.
"Damn it! What if the Columbia-class launches a torpedo now, can you bear this responsibility! Let me go!!" The mustache first mate's eyes widened, and he struggled to break free from the restraints.
But he was stopped by Aklimovich.
"Gould is right. Starting the engine at this time will only be more dangerous. Moreover, even if we turn around now, it is too late. Driver, turn off all power and stop the detection robot..."
"Yes!"
The men quickly followed the order.
Next.
Everyone shut up and stared at the picture sent back by the detection robot.
As a successor to the Los Angeles-class attack submarine, this Virginia-class nuclear submarine has a huge length of 114 meters and a displacement of more than 7,900 tons, almost twice that of the "Losharik".
In the huge weapon compartment, there are at least 12 Tomahawk cruise missiles and Mk48 heavy attack torpedoes.
No wonder the mustache first officer was so nervous.
"150 feet, 130, already in danger!"
Accompanied by the sonar operator lowering his voice to broadcast.
Gu Ji saw that the Virginia-class nuclear submarine in the picture had already approached the "Losharik", just above them, less than 40 meters away.
The 100-meter-class submarine pressed over, and the deterrent feeling was still very sufficient.
It was just like when he was sitting on the more than ten-meter-long "Flying Leap" and looked up at the 74-meter-class "Losharik".
"Gululu..."
When Virginia passed over their heads.
Gu Ji could even clearly hear the wake generated by the rotation of the propeller blades at the rear of the submarine, like the low rolling thunder on a cloudy day.
No one dared to breathe, their mouths were tightly closed, for fear of making a sound.
Everyone looked as nervous as a fully drawn bow.
Sweat slid down the forehead of the mustache first mate, dripping on the cold ground, making a subtle "tick-tock" sound, which was particularly harsh in this silent environment.
"It passed over our heads."
"Huhu..."
About half a minute later.
Until the Virginia-class nuclear submarine disappeared from the screen, everyone dared to breathe loudly.
"Fortunately, we are now at the boundary of the sound pollution zone, and the seawater noise is high. Otherwise, with such a close distance just now, with the advanced level of the US military's fourth-generation attack-class submarine, it is impossible not to notice any problems!"
Although everyone was safe, the mustache first mate still felt that Gu Ji's behavior was too risky.
But it was this little episode.
It made Akelimovich more determined.
Think about it.
Even the most advanced attack submarine in the United States could not find them, let alone a 667A that has been gradually eliminated during the Cold War!
"Continue to surface, move along the border of the contaminated area, and expand the scanning range of the detection robot!"
"Yes!"
Under the command of Gu Ji and Akelimovich.
The "Losharik" submarine continued to move toward the sea surface, and had already surfaced to a depth of about 300 meters from the 1,000 meters when it first avoided the Norwegian heavy torpedo.
"Captain, sound sensor found!"
"Let the robot avoid it, and keep silent!"
After Akelimovich gave this order, he turned his head and looked at Gu Ji.
Sound sensors were found in this area.
There is only one possibility, that is, they have approached an important target!
Because sound sensors are a means to prevent submarines from lurking and attacking.
Sure enough.
The next second, the operator of the detection robot stood up with his eyes wide open. Just as he was about to speak, he was afraid that the noise would be too loud, so he hurriedly picked up a pen and paper and wrote a line of words.
"Target found!!"
Seeing this scene.
Gu Ji and Akelimovich opened their eyes wide at the same time and hurried to the screen.
Under a huge shadow on the sea, a submarine of 100 meters long was hidden.
That's right.
This submarine was the mysterious sect strategic nuclear submarine that Gu Ji had been looking for: "Hook"!
"It's really 667A..."
Akelimovich murmured with horror on his face.
On the one hand, it was confirmed that the enemy really had the ability to launch ballistic nuclear missiles;
On the other hand, it was amazing that they were able to salvage the missing 667A and repair it successfully.
"I didn't expect the enemy to be so bold that they actually hid directly under the Norwegian Navy fleet!"
That's right.
The black shadow on the sea was the Norwegian Nansen-class frigate.
After the exclamation, the mustache mate immediately said: "Captain, you can open fire now!"
