Chapter 738: Formal Counterattack (asking for monthly ticket)
"For acting..."
Aklimovich murmured, and his eyes changed.
But the first mate at the side looked at Gu Ji suspiciously, both as a reminder and a question: "Captain, do you really believe him and NATO?"
"At this point, do you have any better means of interception?"
"Captain, torpedoes enter 100 feet, 80, 70..."
Gu Ji asked back.
The submarine soldiers also shouted out the attack distance, which symbolized the "death countdown". Everyone was looking at the red-faced fat man, as if waiting for his final order!
"Change course immediately! Head on!"
"Yes!"
At the critical moment, Aklimovich chose to believe Gu Ji's proposal.
The driver simply pulled the operating lever, and the submarine turned 180 degrees on the seabed. If it was really a delayed-fuse torpedo, this would maximize the power of interception.
But if not.
Then this blow would be enough to break the submarine in half!!
next second.
Amid the shrill alarm, two heavy torpedoes instantly hit the side of the submarine.
"Boom! Boom!"
A huge metal collision sound occurred on the left side of the submarine, and Gu Ji only felt that the entire hull of the "Losharik" was shaking slightly.
After all, this is a heavy torpedo, and the weight of a single torpedo is at least more than one thousand kilograms.
"No explosion! The torpedo is falling!!"
The first to react were the sonar soldiers.
They found that the torpedoes lost power instantly after hitting the back of the submarine, and sank to the bottom of the sea like two large pieces of iron.
Aklimovich's pupils shrank sharply and he shouted hurriedly.
"Quick! Full power, 30 degrees elevation, pull up!"
"Hold on tight!"
The driver gave a reminder and immediately pushed the power lever.
The submarine was seen rising up like an onion on dry land, and all the submarine soldiers followed suit. Gu Ji was counting down silently in his mind: "Three, two, one!"
"Boom! Boom!"
There were two explosions, and the violent vibrations made the surrounding sea water seem to tremble.
Immediately afterwards, a large amount of mud and sand was evaporated by the huge impact force, like a volcano that was instantly awakened, erupting magma-like mud mist.
"It's now!"
Gu Ji tightly grasped the safety lever beside him and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Shut down all the power! Keep silent!!"
"Everyone, no loud talking!"
As Akelimovich repeated his orders, the shock wave also carried a large amount of mud and sand, completely engulfing the "Losharik" submarine.
Ten seconds later.
The "Losharik" slowly emerged from the mud and fog, with the propeller at the tail turning slightly, almost without forming a vortex, and it was as quiet as a ghost.
At this moment, the signalman suddenly took off his headphones and whispered "Captain".
When Akelimovich came over, he immediately displayed the signal. It turned out that the Akula sent a satellite ultra-long wave communication, probably to confirm whether they were still alive.
Since even their own submarines cannot judge their situation.
Not to mention the enemy's "Hook" submarine.
In other words.
They succeeded!
Gu Ji rushed forward and blocked the signalman and the red-faced fat man, "Captain, we can't reply. Now is our perfect opportunity to counterattack!"
In the eyes of outsiders, the "Losharik" submarine has now been sunk by a heavy torpedo.
This would be their best disguise.
Once this time choose to respond.
Putting aside whether there was a traitor in the Akula submarine, ultra-long waves could be easily detected in the sea, so the attacks they had just received were in vain.
and so.
Keep silent, take advantage of the opportunity when the enemy mistakenly thinks they have been sunk, quietly approach them, and then sink them with a torpedo, and the matter will be completely resolved! !
Akelimovich's eyes lit up slightly.
He was obviously quite interested in the move proposed by Gu Ji.
Well known.
Whether launching anti-submarine missiles or heavy torpedoes, there is a certain amount of lead time.
The former needs to be boosted from the launch silo into the altitude first, then separated from the mid-section warhead and body, and finally falls into the sea in an arc at the end. The latter requires opening the torpedo tube and filling it with seawater first.
During these two "charging" periods, any slightly advanced submarine will be able to 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 mysterious sect's "Hook" submarine.
Because as long as they take action.
The Hook would most likely launch a ballistic nuclear missile at the Norwegian mainland before the anti-submarine missiles or torpedoes arrived, with the idea of dying together.
By then, it will be Norway that will suffer greater losses.
but now.
The "Losharik" had an excellent hiding advantage. As long as it could approach the "Hook" quietly, even if the torpedo tube was detected to be activated, the enemy would not be able to react in such a short distance and time.
By then, the submarine will be sunk and the ballistic nuclear missiles will not be able to be launched.
This crisis is completely over!
Think of this.
Akelimovich couldn't help but become more and more excited.
to him.
If Russia can really help Norway successfully resolve this coerced nuclear crisis, then the appearance of the "Losharik" in the Norwegian Sea will not only be written off, but it may also help Russia gain some additional benefits.
next second.
Amid the shocked looks of his men, Aklimovich 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 take advantage of the sound pollution zone created by the Norwegian Navy fleet.
He whispered his plan.
The first step was to use the sound pollution area to surface, because the "Hook" was hit by a torpedo from an anti-submarine aircraft, and its hull was damaged, so it could not dive too deep.
The second step is to use passive sonar and detection robots to lock its position and approach quietly;
Finally, heavy torpedoes are launched 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 locations of two other Russian submarines on the nautical 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 retaliate against the Norwegian Nansen-class frigate, and a major war will be inevitable at that time.
and so.
They must eliminate the Hook before a direct war breaks out.
"Don't worry, we still have at least 20 minutes before this missile is launched!"
Akimovich knew very well that whether it was the Akula or the Severodvinsk, if they wanted to launch a missile at Norway, they needed an order from the base command center.
The decision on the base comes from a meeting of the Ministry of National Defense.
It still takes a lot of time to pass it on from one layer to another.
It is not too late.
Akelimovich directly ordered the driver to use electric propulsion to assist the submarine to move slowly upward.
All sonar soldiers put on monitoring headsets and used passive sonar to search for the location of the "Hook", and at the same time launched two detection robots.
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.
The images outside the submarine can be transmitted remotely and in real time to the inside.
Previously, it had been unusable because Rustam and others had interfered with the signal.
When everything on the submarine returns to normal, it is not as good as the sonar in terms of wide 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.
Accompanied by the scanning robot detaching from the submarine.
Gu Ji also saw the real-time images on the screen of the strategic table.
In fact, it was similar to what he saw through the observation window on the "Flyover".
Because the deep sea is extremely dark.
A searchlight is needed to fill in the light, so the images captured by the camera are all grayish blue, accompanied by the gurgling sound of flowing bubbles in the sea water.
"Captain, there seems to be something wrong with the detection robot!"
At this time, the submarine soldier in charge of controlling the robot suddenly turned around and shouted.
Gu Ji and the other two hurried over.
Through the passive sonar information transmitted back by the robot, he clearly heard a series of low-frequency vibrations of "bang bang bang", "This is the engine..."
"Captain! Look!"
next second.
Amid the operator's exclamations, a huge black shadow appeared in the detection screen! !
It turned out to be a submarine!
"This is……"
"From the looks of it, it's an American Virginia-class nuclear attack submarine!"
Akimovich recognized the model of the submarine at a glance.
The first mate's expression suddenly changed.
"Quick! Turn around at full speed now!"
"Don't move! Don't forget, except for the Norwegian Navy, we have already sunk in the eyes of other ships!"
Gu Ji hurriedly grabbed the mustachioed first mate's shoulder.
"Damn it! If the Columbia-class launches a torpedo now, can you take the responsibility? Let me go!" The mustached first mate's eyes widened and he struggled to break free from the restraints.
But he was stopped by Akelimovich.
"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. Pilot, turn off all power and stop the detection robot..."
"Yes!"
The subordinates quickly carried out the orders.
Next.
Everyone shut their mouths and stared intently at the images sent back by the detection robot.
As the 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 7900 tons, almost twice that of the "Losharik".
The huge weapons bay contains at least 12 Tomahawk cruise missiles and Mk48 heavy attack torpedoes.
No wonder the mustachioed first mate was so nervous.
"150 feet, 130, we are already in danger range!"
Accompanied by the sonar operator's low voice broadcast.
Gu Ji saw that the Virginia-class nuclear submarine in the picture had approached the "Losharik", just above them, less than 40 meters away.
The deterrent effect of a hundred-meter-class submarine approaching is still very strong.
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..."
as Virginia passed over their heads.
Gu Ji could even clearly hear the wake created 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 even breathe, their mouths were tightly closed for fear of making even the slightest sound.
Everyone looked as tense as a fully drawn bow.
Sweat slid down the mustached first mate's forehead and dripped onto the cold ground, making a slight "tick-tick" sound that was particularly harsh in this silent environment.
"It passed right over our heads."
“Huh…”
About half a minute later.
Not until the Virginia-class nuclear submarine disappeared from the screen did everyone dare to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Luckily, we are now at the border of the sound pollution zone, and the decibels of the seawater noise are relatively high. Otherwise, given the advanced level of the US fourth-generation attack submarines, it is impossible that they would not have noticed any problems at all!"
Although everyone was safe and sound, the mustache-wearing first mate still felt that Gu Ji's behavior was too risky.
But it was this little episode.
Make Akelimovich more determined.
think about it.
Even the most advanced attack-class submarines in the United States could not detect them, let alone a 667A submarine that was gradually phased out during the Cold War!
"Continue to ascend, 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 towards the sea surface, and has surfaced to a depth of about 1000 meters from the 300 meters when it initially avoided the Norwegian heavy torpedoes.
"Captain, sound sensor detected!"
"Stop the robots and keep silent!"
After giving the order, Aklimovich turned and looked at Gu Ji.
Sound sensors were found in the area.
There is only one possibility, that is, they are close to an important target!
Because sound sensors are the means to prevent submarine lurking attacks.
as predicted.
The next second, the operator of the detection robot stood up with his eyes wide open. He was about to speak, but was afraid of making too much noise, so he quickly picked up a pen and paper and wrote a line of words.
"Target found!!"
See this scene.
Gu Ji and Akimovich opened their eyes wide at the same time and hurried to the screen.
I saw a hundred-meter-long submarine hidden in a huge shadow on the sea.
That's right.
This submarine is exactly the strategic nuclear submarine of the mysterious sect that Gu Ji has been searching for: "Hook"!
"It's actually 667A..."
Akimovich murmured in horror.
On the one hand, it confirmed that the enemy did have the capability to launch ballistic nuclear missiles;
On the other hand, people were amazed at their ability to salvage the missing 667A and successfully repair it.
"I didn't expect the enemy to be so bold that they actually hid directly under the Norwegian Navy fleet!"
That's right.
The dark shadow on the sea is the Norwegian Nansen-class frigate.
After the exclamation, the mustachioed first mate immediately said, "Captain, can we open fire now?"
