"Wait, this distance isn't enough!"
Gu Ji quickly refused.
The mustachioed first mate frowned and asked back, "We are less than 500 feet away from the enemy right now. If that's still too far, do we have to get right up to them and fight them?"
"Yes, once we get too close, we will also be affected by the explosion of heavy torpedoes!"
Another adjutant added.
Akelimovich did not refute with his men, but carefully considered the sonar positioning, and opened his eyes slightly: "You mean, at this depth, it is easy for the enemy to launch ballistic missiles?"
"That's right!"
He is worthy of being the captain of the "Losharik".
His eyes are indeed sharp and he can spot the problem at a glance.
"As far as I know, whether it is the 667A during the Cold War or most modern strategic-class ballistic missile nuclear submarines, the maximum depth for directly launching ballistic missiles underwater is generally around 40 to 50 meters."
"And the current depth of the Hook is 45 meters!"
Gu Ji had just finished speaking.
Akelimovich immediately took over the conversation.
The senior submarine officers standing by also looked thoughtful.
At this current position, if they opened the torpedo tubes, they would be detected by the enemy's "Hook" sonar system.
If the other party has already activated the ballistic missile silo.
It only takes a few seconds, and there is a high probability that the underwater ignition and launch can be completed before being sunk by a heavy torpedo.
Once the ballistic missile breaks out of the sea.
By then, it will be too late!
"Even if we know this, there's no way to change its location now, right?"
The mustachioed first mate spread his hands.
indeed.
Even if they could get as close to the enemy submarine as possible and shorten the distance and time of the torpedo attack, they would not be able to change the enemy's depth, and would ultimately face the risk of missile launch.
"We can use an antenna!"
"What did you say?"
Suddenly, Gu Ji said something out of the blue.
It did attract quite a few surprised looks from people in the control room.
"We can raise the submarine's towing antenna, find a way to entangle the propeller at the tail of the Hook, and then use our own power to pull it underwater!"
As soon as these words came out.
Everyone couldn't help but be shocked.
The so-called "dragged antenna" is also called a submarine buoyant cable antenna.
The antenna is retracted and extended through a motor retracting device, and then the antenna assembly can rely on its own buoyancy to tilt and float to the water surface or a shallow depth underwater to receive radio signals.
Considering that the use environment is in sea water and there are operational safety requirements, the material of the towed antenna is very strong.
Even if it can withstand the pull of thousands of tons, it will not break.
Gu Ji's method was to use the antenna's floating function to slowly extend it to the tail of the "Hook". As long as it could touch the propeller blades, it would instantly be drawn into the motor shaft, forming a tangle.
At that time, the "Losharik" dived quickly.
Use your more advanced power to catch your opponent off guard and drag him down.
As long as the launch depth of water-based missiles is exceeded, the "Hook" will not be able to play its trump card!
“This is such a great idea!!”
"Yeah, this is the first time I've seen someone come up with such a weird idea!"
For a moment, the submarine soldiers praised Gu Ji's proposal.
This time, even the first mate with a mustache, who often opposed him, couldn't find a suitable reason to refute.
then.
Aklimovich gave a direct order, asking the communications team to take action immediately.
Although the plan is simple.
But it is not easy to actually put it into practice.
On the one hand, the submarine needs to slowly release the antenna while remaining absolutely quiet and undetected;
On the other hand, the antenna needs to be aimed at the propeller at the tail of the target.
The key lies in this second step.
To know.
The sea water is flowing, and the communication antenna is dozens or hundreds of meters long. If such a thin wire shakes, the amplitude will naturally be considerable.
Fortunately, the Hook is currently hiding under a Norwegian Nansen-class frigate.
As long as the depth remains unchanged, the trajectory can be completely followed.
Otherwise, the probability of entanglement of a nuclear-powered submarine with just an antenna in the vast deep ocean is extremely slim!
"Captain, the antenna has been released!"
"Use the scanning robot to locate the vehicle and have the driver move the antenna to the rear!"
"Yes!"
Akimovich calmly issued one order after another.
With the help of the scanning robot, a thin black antenna can be clearly seen on the screen. It is like a fishing rod, swaying slightly in the sea water and slowly approaching the target.
Because the distance is very close.
Gu Ji could even see the deformation dents and damaged spots on the "Hook".
That was exactly what was left by the explosion of several torpedoes he had dropped earlier using an anti-submarine aircraft at sea.
It's a pity that we failed to completely destroy its defense.
If supercavitating nuclear torpedoes had been chosen at the beginning, the "Hook" would probably have sunk into the sea by now.
"Gululu..."
"Wait! It seems to be moving!"
"Damn it, have they discovered us?"
Suddenly.
Just as the antenna was about to approach the tail rotor of the Hook.
Unexpectedly, the enemy suddenly accelerated forward, and the antenna just missed the propeller blade.
This scene also shocked several senior officers in the submarine.
The mustachioed first mate grabbed the red-faced fat man's shoulder and said, "I told you this plan won't work. Captain, fire the torpedoes right now. We still have hope of completing the mission!"
"Wait! It seems to have stopped again!"
Gu Ji pointed at the screen hurriedly.
The sonar operator observed for a moment, took off his headphones and nodded: "That's right, Captain, the Hook just accelerated synchronously with the Nansen-class frigate!"
"Okay, connect now!"
At the urging of Akelimovich.
The pilot started the secondary docking.
Everyone watched helplessly as the submarine's black antenna swayed irregularly left and right at the tail of the "Hook", sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right.
One time, it clearly touched the paddle, but was bounced away by the high-speed rotating blades.
"No, if we continue like this, their sonar system will hear us!"
"Squeaky..."
The mate with a mustache had just finished speaking.
suddenly.
A teeth-grinding sound was heard from the top of the submarine.
It felt like someone was stepping on a wooden floor that had been moldy for years.
"Look! The antenna is wound successfully!"
Someone pointed at the antenna on the screen that was being stretched straighter and straighter and exclaimed loudly.
"Quick! Depression angle 30, full power! Dive immediately!"
"Check the engine room, notify the torpedo room, immediately open the No. 1 and No. 2 launch tubes, and prepare two Type 65 heavy torpedoes!!"
In an instant.
Gu Ji and Akimovich roared out orders almost at the same time.
"Full dive!"
"Weapons bay ready, launch tubes filled with water!"
"Gululu..."
that moment.
The command room, where everyone was silent just a moment ago, suddenly became as noisy as a vegetable market.
Every submarine soldier was conveying the orders from the command level to each other, and they were instantly busy.
The submarine is diving.
Gu Ji hurriedly hugged his arms and leaned back to offset the inertia of the dive.
At the same time, according to the vision of the visual detection robot, the antenna on top of the "Losharik" has been completely stretched straight.
Under the full power of the submarine's nuclear power and two diesel engines, the tail of the "Hook" was dragged down two or three meters in the first moment.
Available soon.
The enemy reacted and tried to initiate a dynamic confrontation.
But once a trend is formed, it is difficult to reverse.
Although the 667A is over 100 meters long and its tonnage is twice that of the Rocky-class "Losharik", the former is, after all, a backward product of the Cold War era.
Whether it is power or instant acceleration capability.
None can compare to the latest super-secret submarine from the Russian Deep Sea Survey Service.
Not to mention, the No. 1 and No. 2 torpedo tubes have been filled with water!
"Captain, the torpedo room is ready!"
"Fire!!"
Akimovich shouted suddenly.
With just two "chi" sounds, two of the world's most famous conventional heavy torpedoes: the Russian-made Type 65, were suddenly fired!
This torpedo is famous for its terrifying combat depth, which can reach 950 meters. Its 11-meter length, 50-knot speed, and 900-kilogram charge are enough to pose a huge threat to any submarine or warship at sea! !
Seeing this scene, the mustached first mate thought success was about to be achieved.
"Captain, we can definitely give them a fatal blow this time!!"
"Cut off the communication antenna immediately and dive as fast as possible, quick!"
In contrast, Akelimovich seemed much calmer. In order to prevent the submarine from being affected by the explosion of a heavy torpedo, he quickly ordered the antenna to be freed.
But what everyone didn't expect was.
At the moment the signalman took action, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded in the submarine control room!
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
"What happened?! Why did the alarm go off!?"
"Captain, this is bad! The sonar system detected a missile launch!!"
"What did you say!?"
Everyone present was shocked by the sonar soldier's words.
"Impossible! We have already towed the Hook to a depth of 50 meters. They have no chance to launch a ballistic missile!"
"Yeah, this doesn't conform to common sense of weapons at all!"
Just as several submarine officers raised questions.
The sonar operator added: "The missile did not come from the Hook, but from 3000 feet away..."
"It's the Severodvinsk! Our people!!"
Aklimovich stared and forced out these words.
Never imagined.
They hurried and hurried slowly, but they were still a step too late.
The Russian army finally decided to launch missiles in counterattack.
at the same time.
Two Type 65 heavy torpedoes circled half a circle in the sea and rose directly up, leaving two graceful arcs of white bubbles in the sea water, hitting the "Hook" above the head.
"Boom! Boom!"
Accompanied by two deafening explosions, two torpedoes exploded in the sea at the same time, releasing huge energy in an instant.
The flames from the explosion directly engulfed the Hook, and a large amount of debris flew in the sea, like a tragic fireworks show.
The shock wave quickly spread in all directions.
Even the "Losharik" was not spared and was swept into the huge waves. It was like being shaken suddenly by an invisible big hand. The violent vibration caused the soldiers in the submarine to fall to the ground.
Fortunately, the red-faced fat man shouted in time.
The submarine detached from the antenna and dived ahead of time, avoiding the core area of the explosion.
After the submarine gradually returned to normal, he was the first to climb up, "Quick, turn on the communication immediately and contact the base, quick!!"
"Captain, our antenna has..."
"Damn it! Get to the surface immediately! Quickly!"
Hearing his men's words, Aklimovich remembered that their towing antenna had just been cut off.
Therefore, if you want to achieve satellite communication, you can only surface.
At this time, the mustachioed first mate grabbed his shoulder and said sternly: "Captain, if the 'Severodvinsk' launched the 'Zircon' anti-ship missile, then nothing we do now will be of any use!"
Aklimovich's face suddenly changed.
indeed.
Zircon is a hypersonic missile. Once launched, it will instantly rise to high altitude and enter a hypersonic cruise state.
Well known.
Hypersonic missiles are extremely difficult to intercept.
Not to mention that Zircon has a special flight trajectory that can avoid the enemy's reconnaissance system. Even the Norwegian Navy's Nansen frigate, equipped with the US military's latest "Aegis" combat system, has an interception speed of only up to Mach 3.
And Zircon's terminal penetration speed.
It has exceeded Mach 8!
In other words.
Once the missile is launched, there is only one result: hitting the target!
Seeing that Akelimovich didn't speak, the mustachioed first mate continued to dissuade him:
"Captain, since the outcome cannot be changed, surfacing now will only expose our position and send the Norwegian fleet to their doom. We might as well take this opportunity to escape as soon as possible!"
“You can’t leave!!”
Suddenly.
A scolding interrupted their conversation.
It’s Gu Ji!
He ran over hurriedly and stood between the two of them.
"Captain, if we leave now, the misunderstanding will only deepen. Do you want to see our efforts go to waste and see your country fight with Norway, Britain, or even the United States in the Arctic Ocean?!"
"You are just a private organization, what do you know!"
The mustachioed first mate scolded, his eyes wide open, "Once the war starts, there is no turning back! Do you want nearly a hundred people on the boat to die?"
"If the war really starts, it won't be just a hundred people who will die!!"
Gu Ji took a sudden step forward.
He faced the first mate head-on and was not at all intimidated by his opponent's momentum.
"Captain, this is your last chance!"
"Captain, you can't listen to him!"
Faced with the dispute between the two.
Aklimovich couldn't help but look around the command room and found that all the submarine soldiers were looking at him nervously.
So take a deep breath.
"Surface! Contact base!"
"Yes!"
"Damn it! Akelimovich! You would rather trust an unknown outsider than listen to me. You can wait for the military court!!"
The mustached first mate yelled angrily and rushed out of the control room.
did not expect.
Not only did Gu Ji ignore him, he also grabbed the red-faced fat man and brought him to the communication desk.
"Captain, we still have a chance! Contact the base and try to intercept the missile mid-flight. As for Norway and NATO, I will be in charge of the negotiations!!"
