After re-evaluating the strategic attempt of the US Fifth Fleet, Xue Chenguang changed his tactics. When the PLA special mixed fleet advanced about 300 kilometers west of the Goa area in India, it suddenly stopped and stayed in the sea for a day. Then, it changed its direction from the original route and turned toward the west direction, as if the front of the army pointed at the US Fifth Fleet from afar.

The unexpected move of the PLA's Special Mixed Fleet made Lieutenant General Nicholson, the commander of the US Fifth Fleet, puzzled. After the analysis and judgment of the staff, Lieutenant General Nicholson decided not to move. No matter what the PLA's Special Mixed Fleet wanted to do, the Fifth Fleet still acted according to the original plan and was not led by the opponent.

The Los Angeles-class offensive nuclear submarines sent by the Fifth Fleet chose the lurking route, which is the shortest and most mature international route for the PLA's special-mix fleet to enter Pakistan. Generally, large ships heading towards Northeast Asia from the Gulf and Pakistan are all passing through the Arabian Sea through this international route. At first Nicholson believed that if there were no problems within the PLA's special-mix fleet, it would be the PLA's trick.

However, when the PLA's special-mix fleet stayed for a day and turned westward, completely leaving the original route. As time gradually passed, the PLA's special-mix fleet showed no sign of returning to the original route, and had sailed westward for more than 100 nautical miles. If the PLA's special-mix fleet continued like this, it would not only completely bankrupt the submarine ambush plan deployed by Lieutenant General Nicholson, but also had a great chance of meeting the main force of the US Fifth Fleet.

At this moment, most of the submarines of the Fifth Fleet sent out an ambush and sneak attack plan. Lieutenant General Nicholson, who was greatly weakened in anti-submarine areas, was in a dilemma. He was worried that the PLA's special mixed fleet would also leave a hand to deal with his Fifth Fleet, and was worried that the ambush submarine's combat power would be in vain. After a long period of inner struggle, Lieutenant General Nicholson finally couldn't help but issue an order to send out the lurking submarine.

However, what Lieutenant General Nicholson did not expect was that the PLA's four 041 Yuan class and two 097 Qin-class nuclear-powered submarines had quietly arrived in the waters west of Mumbai and Gugerat, and then submersed at an ultra-low speed of 3-5 knots and turned off the active sonar system. It only used passive sonar to form an anti-submarine network of more than 200 nautical miles in front and rear. Although the sonar systems of these two nuclear-powered submarines are less effective than the sea shark comprehensive anti-submarine system of the 052 series destroyer, in terms of passive sonar detection distance, with the help of a super intelligent noise analysis system, the effective detection distance can basically reach about 25 nautical miles.

Therefore, when the US military lurked in this area, the three Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines, Portsmouth, were ordered to move westward and prepare to move to the new waters to intercept the PLA's special mixed fleet, and just crashed into the net of the PLA's Seawolf Submarine Squadron.

"Old Xue, our trick to find snakes is indeed effective. Seawolf Squadron and Seashark Squadron sent a message that they had discovered that at 130 nautical miles west of Mumbai, Seawolf Squadron found two Los Angeles-class offensive nuclear submarines moving at high speed; and at 150 nautical miles west of Julagard, Seashark Squadron also detected a Los Angeles-class offensive nuclear submarine activity of the US military.

Now the Seawolf Squadron and the Seashark Squadron use passive sonar for tracking, but a fish communication system has been released for combat preparations. They ask whether to launch an attack on these US troops." Chief of Staff Don Deen said to Xue Chenguang excitedly as he looked at the latest news from the combat command system, "I think you can take action. These are three Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines, and the US Navy's Fifth Fleet has only eight. If it sinks in one fell swoop, Nicholson would probably be heartbroken."

"Order the sea wolf and sea shark to take all their strength and win with one blow!" Xue Chenguang nodded and ordered. Since the big fish surfaced, there was no need for him to hide it anymore. Relying on the team combat method formed by the fish communication system, the PLA's 041 Yuan-class and 097 Qin-class are equipped with 6 533 mm torpedo launchers, which can launch up to 12 new linear guided fish 6 torpedoes at a time to launch an attack. Under this saturated attack, the US nuclear submarines have almost no chance of escaping. Xue Chenguang ordered the victory of one blow, which is to ask the Sea wolf squadron and Sea shark squadron not to be stingy with weapons and use the maximum probability of success.

Xue Chenguang's order was instantly transmitted to an early warning aircraft 300 nautical miles away through radio waves, and then transmitted to the fish communication system on the sea surface. The submarine captains of the PLA who were already ready to fight immediately activated the combat mode, turned on the active sonar system, and then used two submarines as one combat unit. Each submarine fired multiple fish-6 torpedoes at the same time under the estimation of the joint combat tactical system of the theater, launching a saturated attack on three exposed US Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines.

The sonar systems of the US submarines Charlotte, Jefferson City, and Portsmouth all emitted shrill alarms almost at the same time, because the noise emitted by the high-speed navigation of the new line-guided fish 6 torpedo is so harsh in the sonar system of the US submarine.

At this moment, the southernmost end of the waters west of Mumbai is the USS Charlotte's Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine of the US Fifth Fleet. It broke into an ambush circle composed of two 041 yuan-class nuclear-powered submarines, Great Wall 243 and Great Wall 244. Before the PLA submarine launched an attack, the three submarines formed a triangle. At that time, the depth of the USS Charlotte was about 200 meters and was sailing west at a high speed of 30 knots.

On the right side of the Charlotte, about 18 nautical miles away, the People's Liberation Army's Great Wall 243 submarine is hidden in the depth of the sea, with a submarine of about 300 meters. On the left side of the Charlotte is the People's Liberation Army's Great Wall 244 submarine, about 24 nautical miles away. When Xue Chenguang's order came, the Great Wall 243 submarine immediately locked on Charlotte and fired 4 Fish-6 torpedoes at it, while the Great Wall 244 launched 2 Fish-6 torpedoes.

After the torpedo launch was completed, the two 041-yuan-class nuclear-powered submarines of the PLA faced the Charlotte at high speed and chose to accelerate outward to avoid being hit by the US nuclear submarines struggling dyingly. At this distance, if the Charlotte commander fought back to death, his four 533mm torpedo tubes could instantly launch four MK48 heavy anti-submarine torpedo torpedoes. The PLA's two 041-yuan-class nuclear-powered submarines were also extremely dangerous.

The US MK48 heavy anti-submarine torpedo has a speed of up to 55 knots and a maximum range of 46 kilometers. If measures are not taken in time to open the distance as soon as possible, it will be difficult to escape by the active sonar of the USS Charlotte, especially the Great Wall 243 submarine close to the Charlotte spacecraft. However, the USS Charlotte captain did not choose to launch an attack at the first time, but took the lead in taking the right full rudder steering for maneuvering avoidance, and at the same time, it launched all the bait targets on the submarine.

Although from the perspective of escape, the actions of the US Captain Charlotte were beyond reproach, at this distance, the PLA's submarines used the theater joint combat tactical system to consider the most important options for US submarines, and at present this is the most likely instinctive reaction among them, so Captain Charlotte's actions were completely futile. Even though the bait target launched successfully attracted the attack of the PLA's three fish-6 torpedoes, after struggling for about forty minutes, the US Charlotte's final could not escape the hunting of the other three fish-6 torpedoes, and sank into the seabed with three violent explosions.

For the US military's two Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines, Jefferson City and Portsmouth, their encounters are very similar to those of Charlotte. The only difference is that in despair, the Captain Portsmouth chose the tactic of dying together and launched a fatal attack on the 041-yuan-class nuclear-powered submarine of the People's Liberation Army, the closest to it. Four MK48 heavy torpedoes locked the Great Wall 233 submarine at the same time, and finally realized their desire to die together.

However, when the news that the three Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines were attacked at the same time was passed to the command center of the US Fifth Fleet, Lieutenant General Nicholson was stunned when he saw the news. Although he finally knew what the last trump card of the PLA's special mixed fleet was, he sank a third of his submarine power at one time. Such heavy losses still made Lieutenant General Nicholson unbearable.

More importantly, the four 041 Yuan-class submarines of the People's Liberation Army exposed are likely to be nuclear power, plus the two confirmed PLA 097 Qin-class offensive nuclear submarines. Now the PLA's special mixed fleet still has at least 5 nuclear power submarines in hand, and 6 conventional diesel-electric submarines have to be added. With the powerful combat power just shown by the PLA's nuclear submarine, Lieutenant General Nicholson suddenly felt that his undersea power had become completely weak.

Under this situation, Lieutenant General Nicholson dared not continue to bet. He ordered all the remaining Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines to return and give up attacks on the PLA's special-mix fleet. The main force of his surface ships of the Fifth Fleet also chose to retreat and retreat to the naval base in the Gulf of Oman. Lieutenant General Nicholson had no confidence in defeating or severely damaging the PLA's special-mix fleet. Faced with the aggressive offensive of the PLA's special-mix fleet led by Xue Chenguang, he chose to retreat and preserve his strength.
