Dominate South Asia

At this time, Pakistan was tough, just like the Russians. If someone violated Pakistan's interests, Pakistan's army would be the most powerful steel wall!

In this way, Pakistan's first head-on confrontation with the United States kicked off. The Americans lost two F-16 fighters, while Pakistan was unscathed.

Faced with Pakistan's provocation, the United States was angry.

Revenge, revenge must be taken!

On land, continue to support the Taliban's fight, and at sea, the United States has a greater advantage!

Chagos Archipelago, Indian Ocean.

From the map, the archipelago here is just a few small dots, but in fact, this is a large group of islands. It was first discovered by Vasco da Gama. It was occupied by France as part of Mauritius in the early 18th century, and occupied by Britain in 1810. In 1814, according to the Treaty of Vienna, France ceded the archipelago to Britain. Until 1967, Britain signed a treaty with the United States to build an air force and naval base on Diego Garcia Island in the archipelago.

This archipelago is located in the middle of the Indian Ocean, south of the Maldives, halfway between the east coast of Africa and Indonesia, on the sea at about 6 degrees south latitude and 71 degrees 30 minutes east longitude. The southernmost tip of the entire archipelago has the largest island, Diego Garcia. After the US military established a base here, it mainly served as a relay supply station for the naval fleet. The newly established military airport with complete specifications can take off and land super-large strategic bombers such as B-52. Therefore, in the Middle East war currently being waged by the United States, Diego Garcia Island is also an important base for the United States, and the US military has stored a large amount of combat supplies here. B-52 large bombers take off and land from here and go to the Middle East for bombing, which can prevent the opponent's ballistic missile attacks. And the US aircraft carrier. It also docks and repairs here.

At this time, in the area more than 200 nautical miles north of the island, an Aegis destroyer Stout was heading towards Diego Garcia Island. This was a warship returning from the Persian Gulf after completing a mission. It wanted to rest for a month on the archipelago and then return to the front line.

The sea is magnificent. In tropical waters, bad weather is often encountered. And like now, the wave height is less than one meter, which is too rare.

The warship sailed forward against the wind and waves. Suddenly, the lookout shouted: "Report, there is something on the sea!"

Almost at the same time, on the opposite sea, a submarine in submerged state, the lookout in the bathtub. Also found the warship on the opposite side, and immediately, the lookout shouted loudly: "American warship! Ten nautical miles! Thirty degrees to the port side!"

"Quick. Emergency dive!" Captain Thors shouted.

This is a large conventional submarine of the Supporter class with a displacement of more than 2,000 tons. After carrying out the mission of reconnaissance to Diego Garcia Island, it returned to the Pakistani naval base.

When reconnaissance on Diego Garcia Island, it has been in a submerged state, and now it has been 200 nautical miles away from Diego Garcia Island, which is absolutely safe waters. The submarine soldiers who have been underwater for more than a week can finally surface and change fresh air.

When surfacing, they had already used sonar to confirm that there were no surface ships around, so they surfaced. The warship on the opposite side came very suddenly.

After the lookout finished shouting, the submarine soldiers who were taking a breath in the bathtub entered the submarine one by one. The last lookout who came down closed the hatch on the top tightly.

"The hatch is closed." The lookout shouted.

"Dive!"

Following the captain's order, a large amount of seawater began to be poured into the water tank in front of the submarine. The front end sank, and the submarine soldiers without tasks also ran to the front cabin to increase the speed of diving. The submarine quickly entered the sea water at a diving angle of almost 30 degrees.

As underwater ghosts, submarines can only exert their greatest power underwater, but even so, once they are entangled with surface ships, submarines are at a great disadvantage. Back then, Germany launched the Sea Wolf tactics and constantly destroyed the Allied water transport lines in the Atlantic Ocean. However, the United States used a large number of escort ships to disintegrate Germany's submarine warfare in a short period of time, and countless submarine soldiers sank to the bottom of the sea forever.

The Supporter class dived into the sea water, and at a hundred meters underwater, the submarine leveled out.

"Double vehicles, forward one, three knots low-speed silent sailing, first-level combat readiness, start passive sonar." As an excellent submarine commander, Thors calmly issued one order after another.

Now, I just hope that the other party can't find me, and then go home.

Although there are risks for submarines to sail on the surface, the risks are quite small. You know, in the vast sea, the target of a submarine is quite small, not to mention submarines, even aircraft carrier formations, in the vast sea, are difficult to be discovered by opponents, unless they use early warning aircraft. However, this time, they were really unlucky, and they actually ran into an American surface ship.

"They sent out a helicopter!" The report from the sonar operator startled Thors.

The Americans were very excited.

A dozen days ago, a fighter jet of the Pakistani Air Force shot down two American planes, and the Americans were furious. Now, they actually found a Pakistani submarine!

Although the two countries have not officially declared war, they are just frictions with each other. Now, since they have found a Pakistani submarine, they will have to make the other side pay!

Captain Adams of the USS Stout immediately ordered a Seahawk helicopter to take off.

Although the Aegis warship is specifically responsible for air defense, it is still equipped with bow sonar and towed body sonar, and is also equipped with anti-submarine helicopters, and its anti-submarine level is also first-class.

The Seahawk helicopter took off and flew towards the sea area where the Pakistani submarine had just been discovered. It circled in the air and dropped sonar buoys one by one.

To detect the position of the submarine, you need to use sonar. Underwater, sound is the best carrier, but only one sonar is not effective. Therefore, in practice, there will be various devices, such as the towed body sonar of the ship. The sonar is dragged a few kilometers behind the warship. By observing from two directions, it is easier to find the target, and the sonar buoy is multi-directional. Throwing sonar buoys around the opponent's submarine and determining the direction through multiple points is very accurate.

Adams was waiting for the response from the Seahawk carrier helicopter. As long as the sonar buoys found the other side's submarine, they could calculate the direction. At that time, they could scare the damn Pakistanis! Over the years, the Pakistanis' performance was a complete act of traitor.

Time passed little by little, ten minutes, twenty minutes, one hour, two hours, and the anti-submarine helicopter had not found anything.

The second helicopter had taken off and was replaced by the first helicopter. Adams wondered in his heart, what happened, could the submarine have slipped away?

Impossible! Our helicopter was dispatched very quickly. You know, the fastest speed of underwater submarines is only 30 knots, while helicopters can easily fly at a speed of 200 knots. The anti-submarine and maneuverability of helicopters are very advantageous.

Moreover, our sonar technology is also quite advanced. Now we can't find the other side's submarines. There is only one possibility!

The cunning Pakistanis must have turned off the motor underwater, the propeller did not rotate, and slowly drifted underwater using the ocean current! Although this is slow, it will not be discovered by the surface.

As for the underwater current, who knows which direction it is! As long as the time is long enough, the other party will be able to escape from their search range and run to somewhere unknown.

"We have notified the base on Diego Garcia Island, and the P-3C anti-submarine aircraft will be able to fly over in half an hour." The deputy captain said to Adams.

There is still half an hour, no, with this half an hour, maybe the other party will slip away!

We can't let the Pakistanis slip away, we must give them a lesson they will never forget! Thinking of this, Adams gritted his teeth and said: "Order the Seahawk helicopter to drop MK-64 depth charges, set the depth to one hundred!"

The other party wants to slip away, and I must not let them succeed! They must be blown out!

Depth charges are a method used by the United States in World War II to deal with the Germans' underwater wolf pack tactics. They explode at a fixed depth underwater, causing seawater vibrations, and hit the outer shell of the submarine to sink the other party.

Even if the distance is relatively far and cannot cause damage to the submarine's pressure hull, the sound of the depth charge explosion will also make people feel fear deep in their hearts. Therefore, although torpedoes have now replaced depth charges and become the main equipment in the West, the United States still equips Seahawk helicopters with depth charges, which can force submarines underwater to surface.

According to international practice, as long as a submarine surfaces, it is considered surrender, and surface ships will not harm submarines in a floating state.

Adams's tactic is to make the opponent's submarine surface! Even submarines that are sinking to the bottom of the sea are afraid of depth charges.

"Plop, plop." The Seahawk helicopter flew to a height of several meters above the sea, and then several MK-64 depth charges were thrown from the plane.

Entering the water, the depth charge continued to fall and sink continuously, and the internal fuse began to continuously calculate the depth.

"Plop." This gentle sound was so harsh in the ears of the sonar operator.

"The sound is very loud, it is not a sonar buoy, it is judged to be a depth charge!" The sonar operator reported.

Depth charge! Thors said: "Pay attention, hold on tight!" (To be continued ~^~)
