(I'm very sorry, something was delayed yesterday)

The Americans began to put aside their methods and began to study and adopt the tactics that the PLA had used with a learning attitude among senior generals. This was a very rare change for the US military. Of course, Nicholson, the commander of the US Fifth Fleet, did not know in the Navy that it was a new era for him to open up the US military's combat thinking.

At this moment, the PLA's special mixed fleet, thousands of miles away, did not stop and continued to go west at full speed after annihilated the main force of the Indian Navy fleet in the Andaman Sea. Now they are more than 4,000 kilometers away from their destination, and it will take more than 4 days to reach their destination. Although defeating half of the main forces of the Indian Navy, it can almost guarantee that most of the flights are not easily disturbed by Indians in the next voyage, but the following flight is not smooth.

Because, in the Gulf area near Karachi, the US military not only has dozens of land-based fighter jets, but more importantly, there are two major aircraft carrier battle groups, "Eisenhower" and "Truman" of the US Fifth Fleet. This is the real enemy of the PLA's Special Mixed Fleet. However, everyone does not know at this moment that the fierce combat effectiveness of the Special Mixed Fleet in attacking the Ah San Navy has already made the US Fifth Fleet retreat.

Therefore, as soon as the battle ended, Major General Xue Chenguang, deputy commander of the South China Sea Fleet, led the PLA's dual aircraft carrier special mixed fleet, held a plan discussion meeting for the next step of combat deployment. The captains of major destroyers and the 081-level amphibious landing ships all boarded the "Shanghai" aircraft carrier in helicopters and participated in this extremely important combat meeting together.

"Comrades, first of all, congratulate you on your brilliant victory in the battle that just ended. The Military Commission has sent all our troops to the army and has proposed to commend us. Everyone performed well in this battle and did not lose the face of our South China Sea Fleet. I won't say much about praise. Next, let's talk about the main business first," Major General Xue Chenguang saw that the personnel were all here, and he spoke first, "Today we will gather everyone together, mainly to discuss with you the situation and countermeasures that the fleet will face in the next few days. Comrade Tang Deen, chief of staff of the fleet, will briefly introduce our current situation and several combat plans formulated by the staff department, and then we will discuss the challenges that our fleet is facing now."

Although the fleet achieved an unprecedented victory, Xue Chenguang finished it in just a few words. Today's meeting was not to commend the advanced, so Xue Chenguang quickly got into the topic.

"Comrades, after a devastating blow to the main fleet of the Indian Navy Command in Eastern India, the General Staff believes that at present, the Indian Navy basically no longer poses much threat to our fleet. Half of their fleet's strength has been buried in the Andaman Sea, and most of the land-based advanced fighter jets are now deployed in the north. Facing the direct threat from our Air Force and Pakistan Air Force, the main threat we face in the Indian Ocean from now to the Karachi waters is the Indian submarine force." On the large screen of the spacious combat command center of the "Shanghai" aircraft carrier, Chief of Staff Don Deen played the current naval forces of the enemy and us in an intuitive image.

"According to our intelligence, the Indian Navy now has more than 20 conventional submarines and 6 nuclear submarines. Among the conventional submarines, 6 squid-class diesel-electric submarines and 10 877 Kilo-class diesel-electric submarines are more combat-effective. Among the six nuclear submarines, India's own anti-enemy nuclear submarines account for 5. These 5 are the main offensive nuclear submarines of the Indian Navy. The other is an Acura-class nuclear submarine leased from Russia, and is used by the Indian Navy as a strategic nuclear submarine."

"In the naval battle just passed, none of these Indian submarines appeared. Therefore, the General Staff estimated that the Indian army might use these submarines to launch an attack on us in the next voyage. In this regard, in the following battle, we have specially formulated a new combat plan for anti-submarines..." Chief of Staff Don Deen quickly briefly described the combat plan for Indian submarines.

In addition to the Indian army's own anti-enemy nuclear submarines, the captains present are very familiar with the Indian army's squid-class and Kilo-class conventional submarines. There are many Kilo-class submarines in the People's Liberation Army, including 877 and 636. Although the squid-class PLA does not have it, the Agosta 90B submarine of the French DCN Shipbuilding Bureau, which was purchased through Pakistan, which was the same source as the squid-class. The People's Liberation Army is also very clear about the main performance and combat methods of the squid-class.

Regarding the Indian army's enemy-class nuclear submarine, the intelligence department analyzed that its overall combat capability is estimated to be close to the level of the PLA's 092-class nuclear submarine, because the Indians completed it with the help of Russia and have some styles of Russian nuclear submarines. Considering the Indian local shipbuilding and manufacturing capabilities, it is indeed very reasonable to compare it with the early 092 of the PLA. However, nuclear submarines like the Indian army have never been in actual combat, which has always made the outside world feel very mysterious.

Regarding these Indian submarines that are equivalent to the level of the previous generation of the People's Liberation Army's submarines, the anti-submarine warfare plan formulated by the General Staff is of course very targeted, and no one can give much additional opinions.

However, everyone knows that these were not today's topics, so they passed quickly.

"In the second half of the Indian Ocean, we will face tremendous pressure from the US Fifth Fleet," Chief of Staff Don Dean also knew that the deployment of the Indian Navy submarine was just an episode. He quickly turned to the highlight of today. "According to the information we have now, the main force of the US Fifth Fleet is two major aircraft carrier combat groups composed of the US Eisenhower and Truman. They have strong naval and air strength. If the US military dispatches this dual aircraft carrier combat group to intercept us this time, it will be a serious test for us. Because these two aircraft carrier combat groups have more than 120 fighter jets, of which 8 are F/A-18 Super Hornets and 2 are F-35Cs. In comparison, our fighter jets have only 60 J-15 Flying Shark fighters and 30 J-18 Flying Jiao fighters, which is a big gap in number."

"In terms of surface ships, the US Fifth Fleet has 12 Ticonroga-class missile cruisers and Ali Burke-class missile destroyers with the "Aegis" system. They are stronger than our special mixed fleet in terms of air defense and anti-ship firepower. In terms of submarines, the Fifth Fleet has 8 Los Angeles-class attack nuclear submarines, and its underwater strength is also very strong."

After listening to the enemy situation report by Chief of Staff Tang Deen, the captains present were silent. The main battleships of the PLA's special mixed fleet are four 10,000-ton 052E destroyers and two 7,000-ton 052D destroyers, which is half worse than the main fleet of the US military. Although the four 054B missile frigates have good combat power, they can form an integrated combat advantage with the main destroyers of the 052 series and give full play to the maximum role of various firepower on the ship, but in terms of total firepower, they are much inferior to the main fleet of the US military.

Because 12 Ticonroga-class missile cruisers and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers equipped with the "Aegis" system have a total of 1,272 missile vertical launch units, of which 848 medium- and long-range ship-to-air missiles are loaded with "Standard II" type medium- and long-range ship-to-air missiles, and each "Aegis" missile air defense ship can guide 24 ship-to-air missiles at the same time for interception and combat. In this way, the "Aegis" warships to the U.S. Fifth Fleet's Special Mixed Fleet can intercept enemy aircraft or anti-ship cruise missiles at the same time; this air defense combat capability is far from comparable to the People's Liberation Army's Special Mixed Fleet.

Therefore, once the two sides really start a decisive battle, the PLA's special-mix fleet will have little chance of winning by relying on surface ships and fighter jets. In the absence of a large number of land-based destruction drones to launch saturated attacks, the real opportunity for the PLA's special-mix fleet is the 16 main submarines that followed the fleet, including 8 nuclear-powered 041B Yuan-class submarines and 2 097 Qin-class attack nuclear submarines, and 6 are 039G new Song-class diesel-electric submarines completed by the Duke Subsub-Dragon Project, using the Golden Dragon superbattery and a new combat system for modernization.

In order to ensure the safety of the special mixed fleet, the Navy not only sent out all the main submarine forces of the South China Sea Fleet, but also drew part of the East China Sea Fleet for support and formed two powerful submarine detachments to escort.

Of course, along the way, except for the six 039G Xinsong-class submarines were exposed to the sea surface and charged, the other 10 main nuclear submarines of the Special Mixed Fleet have been keeping submarine secretly following the large force. This is the biggest capital of the Special Mixed Fleet. In the attack on the eastern Indian fleet, in addition to the 039G Xinsong-class attacks with the 052D/E destroyer, which actually verifies the new tactical system for joint combat between submarines and destroyers, the main force of the Special Mixed Fleet nuclear submarines has been standing still, surrounding and protecting the safety of large ships such as aircraft carriers and 081-class amphibious landing ships.

During the silence of the captains, Chief of Staff Don Dean threw out the fleet's combat draft. This is an extremely tragic plan for survival with broken arm. The main tactic is to use the 052D/E destroyer and carrier-based aircraft to attract the attention of the US mixed fleet, and allow the submarine detachment to break through the US submarine defense line with all its might to damage the US aircraft carrier to ensure the safety of several large transport ships.

In this plan, the General Staff even planned to use the Tianjin aircraft carrier as part of the bait to attract the attention of the US military. It can be said that the General Staff had the idea of ​​losing both sides at the beginning to ensure that the four 081-class amphibious landing ships and two 100,000-ton roll-ro-cargo ships transporting the baggage safely arrived in Karachi.
