Mako submarine.
"Hahahahaha, I'm so happy, so happy, I'm so happy that it's finally open this time."
Although it had been several hours since the battle ended, Major Tantai Ming was still very happy.
The chief staff officer who was busy counting the results of the battle looked up and said with a smile: "Yes, captain, we sank three large ships this time.
These three ships are all large ocean-going ships.
According to calculations, the total tonnage is 78,560 tons.
This time we participated Among the 28 submarines in operation, we are number one.”
"Hey, now at least half of the reinforcements from Australia and New Zealand have been reimbursed, and we have reduced the burden on the army.
There are three Australian divisions and one New Zealand division, a total of more than 60,000 people."
"If they fall into the water during a storm, I think a third of them will survive."
"Then it depends on whether the Americans can rescue effectively."
"It's a pity that we can't open fire on the Americans this time.
Otherwise, we can keep the entire escort fleet."
"This is not okay.
We have not declared war with the United States."
"Hmph, but those Americans are using this to deflect Australia and New Zealand."
"Hahaha.
What's the matter?
This time, shouldn't we slap the Yankees in the face?
Just under their noses, kill all the merchant ships they were escorting."
The officers and soldiers talked to each other, lovingly discussing the battle just now.
It is actually not accurate to say that it was a war, because this was just a one-sided massacre.
On that stormy night when they couldn't see anything, 28 Chinese submarines rushed to the front of the Australian and New Zealand fleet at full speed and laid out a U-shaped array under the sea 200 meters away.
After the Australian and New Zealand fleet entered the ambush circle, they fired a salvo of torpedoes according to the pre-assigned target.
In order for this ambush to be successfully completed, they used the latest and most advanced heavy anti-ship torpedoes, the "Fish V" torpedo.
This torpedo is improved on the basis of the "Fish IV" torpedo.
Originally, the guidance system of the "Fish IV" torpedo was very advanced.
It uses a hybrid guidance mode, that is, wire-guided active and passive acoustic guidance and wake guidance.
It also uses an advanced computer processing system to give it certain intelligent functions.
Not only can it automatically track, but it can also be controlled by human intervention to avoid baits.
It can also set navigation points to allow the torpedoes to make a low-speed detour for sneak attacks to avoid leaking the submarine. position.
The "Yu 5" torpedo goes a step further.
It completely cancels the wire guide and no longer needs to drag the dozens of kilometers of wire.
Because it uses a more advanced blue-green laser guidance mode, it can be guided by blue-green lasers emitted by submarines, aircraft or satellites.
And it also has neutrino communication equipment, which can make real-time corrections to its route or target through neutrino communication.
More importantly, it has a better level of intelligence and can effectively distinguish the voiceprint characteristics and magnetic field characteristics of the enemy and ourselves, so it can specifically attack designated targets.
Even if the distance between the two targets is very close, it will not be mistaken.
Voiceprint characteristics and magnetic field characteristics are like human fingerprints.
Every ship is different, even sister ships of the same class.
Not to mention merchant ships and warships, the difference is as obvious as black and white.
Therefore, Fletcher's approach of placing the merchant ship in the middle this time can only be effective on other torpedoes, and it will not work at all on this new type of torpedo.
The "Yu-5" torpedo can be used against both ships and anti-submarines.
Because it uses a new type of oxygen-rich fuel, it has the characteristics of high energy density, low noise, and less wake.
And the range and speed are excellent, with a range of 60 kilometers at 40 knots and 40 kilometers at 55 knots.
The warhead weighs 300 kilograms and can be launched by an air turbine pump at a water depth of 900 meters.

The torpedo warhead explosive currently used in China has also been updated.
It is a high-power mixed explosive based on octanitrocubane.
According to tests, its power is 3 times that of China.
A single mine hit can sink a large submarine or cruiser-class surface ship, and three to four torpedoes can sink the latest foreign battleships and large aircraft carriers.
Of course, this kind of torpedo still has a big disadvantage, that is, it is expensive, very expensive.
The ex-factory unit price of a "Yu-5" torpedo is 120,000 yuan, while the unit price of the "Fish-4" torpedo, which was originally considered very expensive, is only 46,000 yuan.
One Yu-5 is equivalent to two J-7 Red Eagles, and three Yu-5 torpedoes It can be used as a J-10 "Golden Eagle" jet fighter.
So although this kind of torpedo is indeed very good, Wen Desi did not dare to replace all of them.
This is just killing people with money.
Therefore, the People's Liberation Army still uses a mixture of Fish Type 4 and Fish Type 5, usually in a ratio of 2:1.
Fish Type 4 is used for ordinary targets, and Fish Type 5 is used for important targets.
Such as this time.
The 28 submarines launched a total of 121 Fish Type 5 torpedoes.
In other words, they destroyed more than 14 million in one go.
It is indeed a bit expensive, but you get what you pay for.
Even in the bad weather of the storm, only one torpedo went astray, and the hit rate was as high as over 99.
And the results were brilliant.
A total of 110 large and medium-sized merchant ships were directly sunk, and 108 of them were sunk.
The last two ships were also severely damaged and almost lost their maneuverability.
Basically, one torpedo is exchanged for a merchant ship, which is still a good deal.
Not to mention the troops carried by the fleet.
These four divisions are the ace troops of Australia and New Zealand.
As a result, they have basically immigrated to Haiti.
The next day, waters north of Henderson Island.
After a night of baptism by the storm, all traces of the battle had been cleared from last night's battlefield.
Everything that had been rescinded had sunk.
The oil stains, wreckage and blood stains on the sea surface were also wiped away by the storm.
If it weren't for the two merchant ships towed by the destroyers, it would be completely impossible to tell that there was a massacre here last night.
The sea area is now very busy.
Dozens of US warships and dozens of aircraft are circling the sea.
Some of them are searching for and rescuing people who have fallen into the water, and some are continuing to search for submarines.
Well, the latter was just going through the motions.
It had been seven or eight hours since last night, and those submarines had long since disappeared.
USS Colorado.
At this time, the deck of the battleship was already crowded with Australian and New Zealand soldiers and crew members who had fallen into the water.
This was not only the case for this flagship, but also for other warships.
However, due to the bad weather and night time, the US warships also had to search for submarines, so the rescue effect was not ideal.
This fleet originally carried most of the officers, soldiers and equipment of the Australian 6th, 7th and 8th Divisions and the New Zealand 1st Division.
Together with the crew, there were more than 63,600 people, but now there are only about 18,000.
Many people were rescued by US warships and aircraft.
In the bridge, the Chief of Staff reported to Rear Admiral Fletcher: "The Seventh Fleet reinforcements will join us at around five o'clock in the afternoon.
They have also recruited dozens of civilian ships nearby, but their speed is slower, at least You have to meet us tomorrow night or backstage.”
Major General Fletcher's face had been gloomy since last night.
There was nothing I could do, this time my face was swollen.
The escorting fleet was wiped out under his own nose, but he didn't even touch the other party's shadow.

This kind of face can be said to be lost to Mars.
It's only when he's in a better mood that he becomes a ghost.
In fact, not only did he look ugly, the White House was also confused after receiving the bad news.
According to the White House's wishful thinking, this operation is to use US warships as a shield to send the Australian and New Zealand troops back to their hometowns to create trouble for China.
Of course, this risk is a bit high.
If China attacks US warships together, it will not end well.
However, according to their thinking, if they have not broken up with China yet, then Wen Desi will definitely not attack American warships in his consistent style.
Although the relationship between China and the United States is gradually drifting apart, it is only politically.
Economically, the two sides are very close.
Both sides are each other's largest exporter and largest importer.
This is typical.
"The politics are cold and the economy is hot."
Neither Ghana nor Wen Desi are second best.
Both sides have a large amount of assets in the other country, and the largest share of import and export materials is in the hands of the other side.
Under such circumstances, it is obviously impossible for the two countries to really fight.
Australia and New Zealand It's not such a big deal yet.
The United States will not fight with China over Australia and New Zealand, and the same goes for China.
It is precisely based on this consideration that the Americans came up with such a side-stepping method.
After repeated deductions, they all believed that under the protection of such heavy troops, neither Chinese aircraft nor submarines would be able to exert their combat effectiveness and would not have many opportunities to attack.
Moreover, Fletcher is a very good general with rich experience in anti-submarine warfare, so even if the Australian and New Zealand fleet does suffer losses, it will not be too much.
Anyway, the Americans have no intention of sending these kangaroos back intact.
It doesn't matter how many people die.
Those who die are not Americans.
But the facts gave Ghana a hard slap in the face.
None of them expected that a Chinese submarine would launch an attack at night when it was difficult to distinguish the target, and not even a hair on the US warship was scratched.
However, the Australian and New Zealand fleet, which was under heavy protection, was not spared, and all of them were hit.
Even the two merchant ships that survived were hit by a torpedo each.
Although they survived and were not sunk, they also lost their maneuverability and could only be towed by destroyers.
"The Chinese submarine still hasn't been found?"
Fletcher said with a sullen face.
“Nothing found” Fletcher thought for a while and said: "Then we will leave here first, leaving two, not three, three destroyers to continue search and rescue.
We will continue to go to New Zealand and Australia as planned.
I see them this time Do you still dare to attack?”
At this time, a communications petty officer came over: "Mr.
Rear Admiral, there is a call from the Naval Operations Department asking us to go to French New Caledonia and not approach the territorial waters of Australia and New Zealand."
The telegram was sent by the Naval Operations Department, strictly ordering them not to take any more risks.
This is because the operations department was frightened by this wolf attack.
Since China can hit those Australian and New Zealand ships so accurately, it also means that they can also hit US warships accurately.
Why put yourself in for a kangaroo?
Just treat it as a test.
"Huh, okay, let's go to French New Caledonia."
Fletcher had to give up his original adventure plan.
The big guys in the White House and the Department of Operations had to consider the entire strategy, but they didn't dare to be as cool as him.
If we really had a conflict with China, how would we end up still at war with the Germans?
Now that we understand China's bottom line, let's take the opportunity to close the tent
