A Song-class submarine is equipped with six heavy torpedoes and twelve medium-sized torpedoes as standard equipment. In this era, when submarines in other countries are generally equipped with naval guns and carrier-based aircraft, the Song-class submarine has only torpedoes. It is an anomaly. It has been more than two years since the Song class came out. Because it has not appeared in public view much, and there is a big tree like a Chinese aircraft carrier in front of it to block the outside view. Therefore, although the Americans have paid attention to it early, they have not yet seen it. I never took it too seriously.
While other countries only used submarines as sneak attack and harassment ships, the Chinese used them as their main force. In the past, this was unbelievable to Nimitz, but now, after seeing the power of submarines with his own eyes, , if there is still a chance, he will definitely change this perception.
"The hull of the ship is tilting now. I don't know if I still have a chance to escape. This naval battle is a painful lesson for us. We thought we had blocked the first two waves of the Chinese's sharpest attacks, but we failed Unexpectedly, the real killer move of the Chinese is their submarine... I am not sure how many people will see this letter. I only hope that everyone who sees it must hand it over to the country. Maybe, in the submarine We made a mistake in the use of... Buckley is leading the destroyer fleet to attack the Chinese submarine. If nothing happens, these six Chinese submarines will not escape the same mistake. However, given that the Chinese submarine has avoided our sonar If detection sneaks in, something special might happen... There must be some technology on the Chinese submarine that we don't know about, so no matter what the cost, the wreckage of the Chinese submarine should be salvaged."
When the destroyer fleet led by Buckley was launching a ferocious attack on Huang Haiqiang and the others, Nimitz ignored the dissuasion of his adjutant and other subordinates, leaned on the tilted command platform, and wrote the above words in a flying voice.
Years of combat experience gave Nimitz a very clear understanding of his current situation. The USS San Francisco was about to sink, and the success rate of escaping from the sinking ship was basically zero.
On the sea surface, with the continuous sound of "air-to-air" gunfire and "rumbling" explosions, the sea surface where the Chinese submarine was located was immediately completely covered by fire and water.
The submarine shook violently. Huang Haiqiang grabbed the handguards with all his strength to avoid falling. At this time, there was only fire and water left in the periscope, and nothing useful could be seen at all. Knowing that the Americans Having launched a crazy revenge, Huang Haiqiang no longer wanted to waste energy on the periscope. Taking a deep breath, he calmly ordered: "One group, five o'clock direction; two groups, Xiang Lianyong, you are responsible for selecting the target, all ships, and Launch all the torpedoes as quickly as possible. After launching, evacuate immediately. Good luck, brothers."
"Good luck, brothers" was the last words Huang Haiqiang left in this world, because just after he shouted these words, the submarine he was on was hit by a bomb on the bridge, and he himself was killed by a bomb. A shrapnel hit his skull and he died on the spot. After he fell, the submarine he was in was hit by several shells in succession. After the hull was blown apart, it sank to Haiti due to the intrusion of seawater.
Almost at the moment the bridge was hit, Huang Haiqiang's torpedo crew launched two more heavy torpedoes and two medium torpedoes. The targets of these four torpedoes were the battleship USS Oklahoma.
When the sea surface where the Atlantic Fleet was located was filled with light and water, about a hundred kilometers away, thirty-six golden eagles were swooping over at lightning speed.
These thirty-six Golden Eagles were the second batch of fighters released by the mixed formation. The commander was a HNA major named Xue Shanghai. At the last moment, Huang Haiqiang was not sure whether he had severely damaged the US aircraft carrier, so he did not report it to Chen Shichang. News of the victory, his "humility" misled Bian Jingdao and Chen Shichang. After the first and second waves of attacks, Bian Jingdao ordered the release of the second wave of attack fighters. Because of the characteristics of the Golden Eagle fighter jets, they were loaded with a This heavy aerial bomb is used as a major weapon in attacking ships, and there is no requirement to focus the attack on the US aircraft carrier.
"Our submarine is in a fierce battle with the US military. Brothers, speed up and rush forward. Remember, attack the US aircraft carrier first." Xue Shanghai shouted in the command channel, and then accelerated towards the US fleet.
As the distance got closer, he soon discovered the Song-class submarine surrounded by US ships.
At this time, only two of the six Song-class submarines were still floating on the sea. The bridge of one of them was hit by a cannonball and was burning with fire. The second and third waves of attacks launched by them also caused a raging fire. Three U.S. ships were severely damaged, including a destroyer.
"Head, I saw the American aircraft carrier, but it seems to be tilting..." The voice of one of his brothers suddenly sounded in Xue Shanghai's headset.
He immediately looked around, and then saw the two US aircraft carriers that were billowing smoke. Seeing that one of the aircraft carriers had been broken into two pieces, he was overjoyed and immediately transferred Bian Jingdao's command channel to report to him. This discovery.
Bian Jingdao still didn't believe it when he first heard that one US aircraft carrier had been destroyed and another had been severely damaged. After confirming it, he changed his order and asked Xue Shanghai and others to attack freely and focus on taking care of the large warships of the US fleet.
Later, he conveyed the news to Chen Shichang and added his inference that "it should be our latent submarine team that made the contribution."
Before this, Chen Shichang's heartstrings had been tense. In terms of strength alone, the Genghis Khan aircraft carrier fleet did not have the strength to completely annihilate the US Atlantic Fleet. This is why Ouyang Yun wanted to direct the assassination plan and launch a sneak attack regardless of his reputation. Even so, the goal they set for this battle was only to severely damage the U.S. Atlantic Fleet, making it unable to provide fire support to the Brazilian rebels and the Meissen security force within three months. As long as they could severely damage the Atlantic Fleet, With the fleet's two aircraft carriers, this goal has actually been achieved. Everything Chen Shichang did later was precisely to achieve this most basic goal.
The good news came so suddenly that Chen Shichang could not change his mood. He was silent for ten seconds. Just when Bian Jingdao was about to hang up the phone, he said: "Tell Xue Shanghai that we must ensure that we sink the American aircraft carrier." , and then let them focus on attacking the American battleships and heavy cruisers, and tell them that our aviation force has also set off, and now our operational purpose is to completely paralyze the combat capabilities of the Atlantic Fleet."
