Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 1223

“Dididi…”

“Report, the enemy reconnaissance plane was found in the northeast, it is approaching us, coordinates XXXX, XXXX, distance 253, speed 855…”

Finally, a Saudi navy ship searched for the target.

The display screen connected to the long-range early warning radar has various parameters of the target.

This has been much later than the Bahraini navy has searched for the target. But they don’t know.

“I found the target? How could the air target arranged by China go to the northeast, shouldn’t it be the northwest? Is it still so far?”

Colonel Yevrola, the deputy commander of the Saudi fleet, looked puzzled.

This is different from the plan specified before the exercise.

“Continue to track the target, look for their sea targets…” Yevroa did not report the target to the fleet flagship, and felt that it should be monitored first.

Tracking targets is also what they need to test.

The sea, 253 kilometers northeast of the fleet, is extremely empty. From time to time, 10,000-ton ships appear on the sea. In the sky, an EP-3 reconnaissance plane painted with the American flag is hovering in the sky. It is almost close to the Chinese economy. Exclusive area.

Inside the cabin, numerous electronic devices are running, and technical soldiers chatted easily while staring at the screen.

They have performed such tasks many times. When they are close to China’s territorial waters, Chinese fighters will appear, and within a few minutes, they will turn around because of insufficient fuel and heavy engine fuel consumption.

This is also one of the few pleasures for American pilots stationed in Japan.

“Boss, a fleet is found in the southwest!” In front of the long-range radar, a young American ensign suddenly said loudly.

“Fleet? Our fleet?”

“That’s Chinese waters!” the second lieutenant explained, “7 warships of similar size…”

After the commander heard the report, he did not directly report to the base. He came over and looked at the warship on the radar screen. He couldn’t analyze what type of Chinese warship it was. “China has so many new warships? Go ahead and see what they want to do! ”

After giving the order, the pilot of the EP-3 reconnaissance plane turned around from the original northeast direction and flew southwest.

“The report, the air defense radar shows that there are Chinese fighters appearing…”

“When you show up…” No one cared, a lieutenant said with a smile, “It’s more fun. They say that this is the Chinese waters at most. Let us leave and dare not do anything to us… It will not appear on the Babylonian Sea. Encountered the situation of a Soviet pilot being stabbed in the belly.”

The others laughed.

The Barents Sea is very dangerous. The craziest people in the world are those from the Soviet Union. Many fighter pilots probably drank too much vodka to get on the fighter plane. Various dangerous actions continued, even playing with American pilots. A game of air lock and chase.

In September 1987, over the Barents Sea, a P-3B reconnaissance plane piloted by a Norwegian pilot encountered a new type of fighter piloted by a Soviet pilot. As a result, he was driven by a crazy Soviet pilot with a vertical tail in Norway. The air force’s reconnaissance plane gave a knife to the belly…

After such incidents occurred, the US Department of Defense required their pilots to keep a low profile.

Before that, I was even worried that the Chinese Air Force pilots would follow the Soviets’ learning. When the time comes, the advanced reconnaissance aircraft will be instantaneous. It is a trivial matter to waste taxpayers’ money, and it is not a good thing that the advanced technology is acquired by China.

“Even if the Chinese Air Force pilots want to come this time, their fighters must be strong enough! Their naval aviation fighters are not even as strong as our reconnaissance aircraft!”

Everyone in the plane laughed.

The EP-3 electronic reconnaissance plane headed forever in the direction where the fleet appeared, without reporting to the base at all.

“Are the Saudis looking for the wrong target? How could the aerial target come from the northeast?” The Saudi searched for the target eventually reported to the flagship.

The people on the flagship are also puzzled. Will the same fleet search for targets in two different directions?

China has only arranged one goal.

“Order the fleet to continue searching, and our warship’s early warning radar is turned on…” The captain gave the order after communicating with the political commissar and others.

They did not expect that the Saudis would have problems here.

The Bahraini navy did not report the target from the northeast, and Saudi Arabia did not report the target from the northwest. Only when its own warship launched an air search can it be determined who made the mistake.

“Contact with the target ship. According to time, the target ship has entered the search range.” As the flagship, in terms of radar and other aspects, although it is the same series as the H3 fleet in the entire fleet, the performance gap is too large.

The detection range of the long-range early warning radar is not as far as that of the H3. Moreover, there is an active phased array radar on the H3, which has a detection range of more than 800 kilometers in the air, and even more than 300 kilometers in the sea…

But the radar on H2 doesn’t work…

This is why it has not been turned on before.

In the face of anti-ship missiles with longer and longer ranges, the radar’s detection range is not enough, and the threat to warships is large enough.

On the 102 ship, all the radars have been turned on.

Because of the loss of the power of a boiler, the severely aging warship did not even have a cruising speed when the radar was fully turned on, and could only move slowly towards the target at a speed of 12 knots per hour.

After Captain Yu Haifeng explained the mission to everyone, everyone was extremely reluctant, but they also knew that the order could not be changed.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The only thing to do is to let the 102 ship go all the way, the last mission must be successfully completed.

Inside the engine room, a group of engineers were nervously and busy repairing the boiler pipes that were out of order. It should have been replaced a long time ago, but now it can only be used. It is not so important whether the power output is strong or not. It is necessary to ensure that the scheduled time is reached.

“Discovered an air target, an American reconnaissance plane…”

The 102 ship was very close to the US military aircraft in the sky, less than 200 kilometers, and the air-to-air radar was turned on and it was quickly detected.

“Track the target! Watch them! Find the location of our fighter…” Mao Wenfeng commanded calmly, “Search for the location of the target fleet, and contact the responding ship…”

This is also a training for their 102 ships.

After arriving at the designated position, all officers and men on the 102 ship need to be evacuated from the battleship, and the passenger ship to be received was arranged before the exercise. Waiting for all the people to leave, all the radars of the 102 ship will remain on, simulating the enemy that the warship encounters during combat.

“Hey, there seem to be very few merchant ships in the waters around here?”

The EP-3 in the sky is constantly searching the sea.

“There seems to be a Japanese warship heading for Chinese waters over there?”

The U.S. military stationed in Japan and the Japanese Self-Defense Forces all belong to friendly forces. The identification friend or foe system is the same, so the reconnaissance plane can understand the situation.

“Contact them, did we miss something?” the captain of EP-3 asked everyone suspiciously.

Everyone shook their heads.

If the Chinese Navy had large-scale military exercises, their superiors would have ordered them to lean over to monitor and observe. Although the Chinese navy is small and its combat effectiveness is not strong, for the Americans, the second island chain that has been exhausted to build is to defend the Chinese navy.

“The American reconnaissance plane is here? The Japanese warship also appeared? Isn’t that in our waters?” Xie Kai was a little confused.

Facing Yu Haitao’s worries, Xie Kai looked at him and frowned.

This is not Yu Haitao’s concern, but the concern of many people.

“The C-801 anti-ship missile has been hit with live ammunition before, and has never hit a large-tonnage warship; and the H3 warship has many advanced technologies…Foreign countries can analyze the specific performance level of our domestic warships based on these…” Yu Haitao is serious Staring at Xie Kai.

There are some good technologies on H3, which many people don’t know.

In the past, in order to have stronger detection performance for electromagnetic compatibility, even Xie Kai required the miniaturized active phased array radar to be installed, and the detection range was far enough.

Once these technologies are leaked out, the most advanced domestic warship technology can be speculated abroad.

“That doesn’t matter. We use it ourselves. It must be much better than this. Moreover, for the warships exported to Saudi Arabia and Bahrain, we will also send technical consultants here…” Li Qingmin explained.

Before the target shooting started, American reconnaissance planes and little devil warships were found around the exercise area. Everyone knew what they meant.

Every time there is such an opportunity, those bastards will come to join in the fun, and there is no fear that there will be problems in the end, in case the navy’s target ship makes a mistake…

“The problem we should be more worried about now is not these, but in case the Saudi Navy makes a mistake in its operations and launches anti-aircraft missiles at the American reconnaissance aircraft in the air, or mistakenly believes that the Japanese warship is a target ship…” Xie Kai’s worry, It is definitely not without any reason.

“Is this impossible?” Zheng Yucheng looked at Xie Kai incredulously.

Why is Xie Kai’s brain circuit always so strange?

Dare not to think about these scary things?

“This is indeed very possible. During the previous training, the Saudi Navy had made many operational errors… They were not as honest as the Bahrain Navy…” Yu Haitao’s affirmation made everyone feel more heavy.

I also thought that during the exercise, there would be US warships or reconnaissance planes coming closer.

“Notify the warships and maritime police ships around the exercise area to drive away the approaching Japanese warships. At the same time, they ordered Hainan Airlines to dispatch warplanes and drive away American reconnaissance planes in the air…” After understanding the situation, Commander Liu quickly issued an order. “At the same time order the fleet command to require the Saudi military to strictly follow the exercise plan!”

If it is true that the Saudi Navy’s operational mistakes kill Japanese warships or American reconnaissance planes, the matter will be a big deal.

It is definitely not fun to cause diplomatic disputes when this is so special.

Xie Kai also received an order to communicate with General Rafata urgently to ensure that the Saudi navy obeys the order.

“EP-3 reconnaissance aircraft?” Zheng Yucheng was a little jealous when he learned that the reconnaissance aircraft that appeared was this. “Or, let’s find a way to get it down? The salvage team is also standing by…”

Xie Kai is not sure, but the United States will definitely not be the top strategic reconnaissance aircraft on Japan’s side, and if that is the case, it will not be too close.

The reason for saying this is that Xie Kai is also tempted.

The progress of domestic electronic reconnaissance aircraft is very slow, mainly because there is not much experience and no reference materials.

The Y-10 modified early warning aircraft has begun to manufacture prototype aircraft, but many problems have not been resolved. We can only solve this problem while slowly improving the design.

Now the American reconnaissance planes are coming over to sorrow…

“Just think about it. The anti-aircraft missiles installed on several battleships are all avant-garde, and the avant-garde’s range and firing height are not enough to knock down the reconnaissance aircraft, unless the Americans provoked too much…”

Xie Kai finally shook his head.

Just think about these things.

He was a little lucky, that was not equipped with the Hongqi-61.

The range of the Hongqi-61 is much higher than that of the avant-garde, which is what the Thai Navy ordered.

“In case they fly down…” Zheng Yucheng’s eyes were already straight.

The old guy now has the same mentality as Xie Kai. He wants to steal other good things when he sees other good things, even if the American reconnaissance plane has been in service for more than ten years.

China hasn’t.

The development progress of the early warning aircraft is very slow.

Expensive, slow research and development…

“Don’t think about it. Even if they fly down, the Saudis will not necessarily make mistakes.” Xie Kai sighed.

Very tempting.

But the consequences are more serious.

“Let our people obey orders?” Rafata looked at Xie Kai, somewhat dissatisfied, “Thanks, the exercise plan, you made it, there is no problem! You can follow all orders, how can we check the level of our navy?”

For Xie Kai’s request, Lafata felt extremely unreasonable.

“General, now there are surveillance planes and warships of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force in the exercise area…” Xie Kai told Lafata very seriously, “Once something goes wrong, it will be a very serious diplomatic dispute, and even cause it. war!”

The possibility of war is unlikely.

But it will definitely make the relationship between the two countries extremely tense.

“Our people, there will be no operational errors!” Rafata said, “I will personally command the fleet!”

Xie Kai looked at Lafata with a self-conscious look, a little helpless. “General, this is our sea area. Once there is a problem, it will be considered deliberate…”

“That is your sea area!” Rafata’s words made Xie Kai feel uncomfortable.

Xie Kai can only continue to explain, “General, the exercise area is very large, and a small part of it is on the high seas, which has exceeded our exclusive economic zone…”

Otherwise, the Japanese warship would not dare to approach at all.

Otherwise they would have nothing to say if they were beaten and sunk, it was Chi Guoguo’s invasion.

“Lafata seems to disagree?” After coming out, Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai, “We are almost done. Get the next plane or the advanced battleship of the little devil, let’s pick it up and study hard…”

This made Xie Kai roll his eyes.
