They were sent back to the General Staff one after another, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that the Marine Corps successfully occupied Penghu Lie.

What surprised the Chief of General Staff and the Operational Staff was that after dawn, Wang Yuanqing remained in the General Staff and had no intention of returning to the Chief Executive. What made Xiang Yinghui even more uncomfortable was that Wang Yuanqing asked the State Council officials to go directly to the General Staff to report the work. Although Zhao Rundong also handled daily work in the General Staff during the Peninsula War, Wang Yuanqing was not Zhao Rundong, nor from a military background, and did not understand combat operations.

After receiving the message from Lin Xiaolei from the Navy Command, Xiang Yinghui understood the reason why Wang Yuanqing refused to leave.

After rushing to finish breakfast, Xiang Yinghui went to the office specially arranged for Wang Yuanqing.

"It's almost like that, the press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was carried out according to the plan." Wang Yuanqing was discussing things with Foreign Minister Yan Shanglong, "If there is no accident in the combat operation, the diplomatic statement will not need to be revised.

If necessary, I will contact you in time.”

"Do you need to be so tough?"

"Of course, this is a war, not a play. If you are not tough, how can you express our intentions?" Wang Yuanqing smiled coldly and turned his attention to Zong Yingren. "Domestic mobilization work must be carried out quickly, especially military-industrial enterprises. They must achieve maximum production capacity according to the plan and meet the combat needs of the troops. The mobilization work of retired soldiers can be started in advance. After Ye Zhisheng comes back, he will be asked to deal with this matter first."

"Do you still follow the plan?" Zong Yingren has always followed Wang Yuanqing's leader and rarely faced the head of state.

"First register retired soldiers who are willing to serve again as planned and arrange recruitment work according to the combat casualties and combat needs of each unit. If necessary, some technical retired officers and non-commissioned officers can be recruited in advance. You can discuss with Ye Zhisheng in detail, and now everything is focused on combat operations."

Ren nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Wang Yuanqing's last words: Everything is easy to do. Recruiting retired soldiers is just a matter. In order to support the troops' operations, it is also necessary to adjust and transport the mainland industrial production. It can be said that the State Council needs to arrange a lot of work immediately. Because Zong Yingren will go to Moscow in the afternoon, and Yan Shanglong will also set off for Brussels at night. So many work needs to be explained in advance.

Xiang Hui coughed twice at the door, which attracted Wang Yuanqing's attention.

"You guys go back first. Don't contact me by phone."

Zong Yingren and Yan Shanglong immediately stood up and said goodbye and left the General Staff.

"Mr. Xiang. What's the matter?"

"Just just received news from the Navy Command."

Wang Yuanqing's brows jumped a few times and signaled Xiang Yinghui to close the door.

"We have received news about the 'Assin', and the strategic nuclear submarine operating in the eastern waters of Okinawa Island has been sunk. It is roughly determined that it is the 'Asin' that will be in service in 2023."

"Is there any news about the other two submarines?"

Xiang Yinghui shook his head and said, "I have not received any news from other submarines yet. I have already ordered Lin Xiaolei."

Wang Yuanqing sighed and started the cigarette on the table.

If the three strategic nuclear submarines of the Japanese Navy cannot be sunk, the combat operations in the previous few hours will be meaningless.

When formulating the combat plan, Lei asked the General Staff to give the Navy 12 to the hour to ensure the sinking of three strategic nuclear submarines in Japan. For these 12 hours, Xiang Yinghui tried every means. Many of the previous actions, such as attacking Japan's military satellites, blocking Japan's communication networks, suppressing electronic interference on the entire island of Taiwan, etc., were all to delay Japan's reaction speed and fight for 12 hours for the Navy. In order to allow the Navy to concentrate its efforts against Japan's strategic nuclear submarines, Xiang Yinghui did not even arrange other combat missions for the Navy.

Whether the Navy can complete the task within 12 to 14 hours is directly related to the next stage of combat operations.

Wang Yuanqing had just finished smoking a cigarette and pushed the door open, and Pei Chengyi walked in.

Both of them in the room looked at Pei Chengyi.

"I received a message from the Navy Command."

"The other two submarines were killed?"

Pei Chengyi shook his head and said, "The aircraft carrier battle group has passed through the Bashi Channel and entered the Western Pacific Ocean. Lin Xiaolisling asked if he could take the initiative to find the Japanese fleet to fight."

Xiang Yinghui frowned and looked at Wang Yuanqing.

"This Lin Xiaolei really doesn't know the importance of this!" Wang Yuanqing gritted his teeth and said, "Tell Lin Xiaolei that the number one mission of the Navy is to sink all strategic nuclear submarines in Japan, not to kill Japan's aircraft carrier battle group. Before this, the Navy must concentrate its efforts to complete the combat mission."

Pei Chengyi smiled bitterly and did not rush to leave.

Wang Yuanqing seemed to realize that this was a bit harsh. After thinking for a while, he said: "In addition, tell him that after killing all Japan's strategic nuclear submarines, as long as it does not have a negative impact on the combat operations and does not affect the combat operations of other combat troops, the navy's aircraft carrier battle group can find the Japanese naval fleet to fight to the decisive battle."

Xiang Yinghui also smiled bitterly and pointed at Pei Chengyi

When Pei Chengyi left the head of state's room, Lin Xiaolei was also waiting for news.

The number one ace is the number one ace. Although some people believe that Liu Haifeng has surpassed Du Xinghua and is the number one ace captain of the Republic's Navy, most of the naval executives, including Lin Xiaolei and Hua Jianfeng, believe that Du Xinghua is the real number one ace. This combat operation proves the views of Lin Xiaolei and Hua Jianfeng. The "Assinus" attack submarine commanded by Du Xinghua was the first to complete the combat mission.

Relatively speaking, the combat mission of the "Attoria" is the most arduous.

According to the information provided by the Military Intelligence Bureau, the "Sorong" operating in the waters east of Okinawa Island was responsible for a strategic counterattack mission and has been operating within the cover of the shore-based anti-submarine aviation force. In order to ensure the safety of the strategic nuclear submarine, Japan not only mobilized an anti-submarine patrol aircraft, but also mobilized several anti-submarine destroyers to patrol the active waters of the "Sorong" to specifically deal with attack submarines tracking the "Sorong".

Du Xinghua's ability to complete combat missions in the first time can be imagined.

However, Lin Xiaolei didn't know that Du Hua was facing a life-and-death test at this time.

After the war broke out, the military command issued combat orders through the strategic communication channel. To be precise, it was a signal of the war beginning. According to the combat readiness patrol order received before leaving the port, Du Xinghua opened the submarine safe and took out the combat orders marked "Armed" and "Top Secret". It was not until this time that Du Xinghua knew that the war had broken out, and the "Assinus" must sink the strategic nuclear submarine of the "Canglong" tracked by it as fast as possible.

Without any hesitation, Du Xinghua issued the battle order as fast as possible.

7. The fire control system of the "April" locked the "Canglong" 20 meters away and continuously launched three-line guided heavy anti-submarine torpedoes.

Any submarine captain knows that after the outbreak of the war, sinking the enemy's strategic nuclear submarine is related to the fundamental security of the country.

According to the navy's combat regulations, after receiving the combat order, even if they are threatened by the enemy's anti-submarine forces, they need to complete the attack operation in a "suicide" manner, and the captain of the attack submarine cannot hesitate at all. Everyone knows that if the enemy's strategic nuclear submarine is allowed to launch missiles smoothly, it means that millions of compatriots are under a fatal threat, and even the entire country will be destroyed by the enemy as a result.

There is no room for bargaining!

The performance of the Canglong is indeed not very good. Even at 1 kilometer away, the Canglong can use towed sonar to discover and track the Canglong. At a distance of 20 kilometers, even if the boat is facing the target, the Canglong can passively track the Canglong with a spherical sonar on the bow. As long as you follow the butt of the Canglong, the Canglong will not be discovered. The zq-25 heavy anti-submarine torpedo uses the most advanced 16-level composite battery, with a maximum submersible speed of 85 knots, sailing at a quiet speed, with a maximum range of 120 kilometers, and even if you sail at a speed of 85 knots, the range can reach 60 kilometers. At a distance of 20 kilometers, no matter what method the torpedo is launched, it can ensure that the Canglong will sink the missile before it launches.

It can be said that all the favorable factors are in Du Xinghua's hands.

If it were another captain, he would definitely kill the Canglong at all costs.

Du Xinghua did not act recklessly, but chose the most favorable attack method for the "Assinus". In other words, Du Xinghua does not have to worry about being counterattacked by the "Canglong". The three torpedoes are 995% sure to sink the "Canglong". With the performance of the "Canglong", it is impossible to launch a counterattack under attack; what Du Xinghua needs to worry about is the nearby shore-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft and anti-submarine warships.

Although the submarine itself is the most threatening to submarines, in actual combat, shore-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft and anti-submarine warships can still pose a huge threat to submarines. Especially after the submarine is exposed, the shore-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft that flock to the submarine can easily bury the submarines that are as slow as turtles. Even if anti-submarine warships are difficult to track and lock submarines with sonar during high-speed navigation, they can send faster anti-submarine helicopters to encircle and suppress submarines.

As long as the "Attoria" attacks the "Canglong", its whereabouts will be exposed.

In any case, the torpedo emits much more noise than the submarine. Even if it is set to a quiet speed, it will produce more than a percent of the noise during launch.

3 Torpedoes all left the launch tube in low-speed self-navigation mode. When they approached about 7 kilometers away from the Canglong, Du Xinghua ordered the wire to be cut off and the torpedo entered the self-guided attack stage. The "Spitton" then dived to a depth of 620 meters at the fastest speed to avoid Japanese shore-based anti-submarine patrol aircraft and anti-submarine helicopters that could arrive at any time.

Du Xinghua did not consider the "Tiger-Whispering Pig" that was accompanied by the battle, because when attacked by anti-submarine forces, any submarine would escape and would not stay and wait for death. Only after the "Tiger-Whispering Pig" failed in the attack, the "Tiger-Whispering Pig" followed behind would join the battle.

Japan's anti-submarine power came quickly, which surprised Du Xinghua a little. (To be continued,)
