Several destroyers and cruisers in the USS Lincoln aircraft carrier formation have already approached about fifty nautical miles from the UTR fleet. Although the radar signal is getting stronger and stronger, Sun Dayong is still kept in the dark because the signal is intermittent and there is no pattern to follow.
, and cannot be seen with the naked eye at this distance, we can only think that these things move extremely fast, and are probably general-purpose humanoid combat mechas. -》
If that's the case, there's nothing to be afraid of.
Outside the cabin, a storm was raging. Raindrops like raindrops fell into the sea and splashed with transparent water bubbles. The steel deck and armor were also crackled, and the water splashed by the raindrops falling on the gun barrel.
, and even formed a burst of water mist.
The eerie black barrel became hazy in the pouring rain.
The sky was already as dark as night, but the Americans still did not launch any attacks, which made Sun Dayong even more vigilant. Due to the weather, fighter jets and helicopters were unable to take off and land normally.
Every fleet, aircraft carriers and submarines are indispensable.[
If helicopters can complete anti-submarine and reconnaissance missions, this kind of thing can only be left to the Qinglong-class. After all, the Qinglong-class's range of activities is under the sea surface and will not be affected by weather conditions.
The four submarines of the untr fleet have already been distributed around 30 nautical miles away from the Yongcheng and Yonghe, and the Yongcheng and Yonghe are arranged on the left and right sides of the World No. 1 and the World No. 2.
, conduct escort and protect the two aircraft carriers from being attacked at the first opportunity during the conflict.
Sun Dayong decisively gave the order, and forty-eight Qinglong-class general-purpose humanoid combat mechas filed out from the underwater exits of the World No. 1 and World No. 2 aircraft carriers, stirring up white bubbles underwater.
The bubbles fell to the surface of the sea, but were scattered by the sea water.
At the same time, on a command ship of the USS Lincoln aircraft carrier formation, a colonel wearing a blue U.S. Navy uniform, short and white, also issued an order for the dispatch of Predator-class general-purpose human combat mechas, forty of them.
The Predator-class, loaded with guns, began to advance towards the UTR fleet. The formation formed a fan shape. The machine at the front would only need twenty minutes at most to contact the UTR fleet's nuclear-powered attack submarines and destroy their submarine formation.
The speed of the Qinglong class is no longer as low as when it was first developed. After several modifications, the Qinglong class has already been equipped with a controllable nuclear fusion reactor, and when the vector accelerator is turned on, the speed can actually reach more than 300.
kilometers per hour. Before the Predator class came into contact with the nuclear submarine of the Untr fleet, it was able to meet the Blue Dragon class formation.
The Qinglong-class formation appears to be more dispersed, with four aircraft in a group, forming a diamond shape and moving toward the southeast.
Only ten minutes later, the commander of the Predator-class formation discovered a problem. Dozens of small light spots appeared on his sonar detector. Every time the detector's screen refreshed, those small light spots would approach them.
A big distance.
"Twelve o'clock direction, the target number is forty-eight, the target object is unknown! Be careful, everyone, the weapon system is fully activated, be flexible, and don't be locked by them." The commander said to McLiterature, and then put all the weapons on his body
After debugging everything, I moved my wrists and fingers, ready to press the "fire" button of the guided torpedo at any time.
The Azure Dragon's excessive speed caused the pilots of the Azure Dragon to lean tightly on their seats. Several screens kept flashing red, which was a sign that the enemy's target had been discovered.
"All weapon systems are turned on, and you can shoot freely within the range. They are not our reservation targets, and we do not need to leave them alive."
"Understood!" Although the other pilots' responses were not uniform and loud, they all revealed a kind of determination and confidence.
This kind of confidence is brought to them by untr's technological power that is leading the world.
Even in a one-on-one situation, when their own weapon systems are completely damaged, these Azure Dragon-level pilots can still rely on their extremely strong armor and fast movement speed to protect their own lives and the integrity of their aircraft.
"The target has entered the range, requesting attack instructions!" The pilot of the front body of the Predator-class fan formation saw the Azure Dragon-class entering the red zone on the screen. This red circle,
That's his strike range.
"All airframes spread out and fight on their own. Don't be surrounded by them. Cross cover and pay attention to the undercurrent. Turn on the searchlights!" The Predator-class formation commander quickly issued the order. Under this sea depth, it was originally possible to see
There are objects within thirty meters nearby, but the storm is raging and there is no sunlight at all, so it is pitch black under the sea. Turning on the searchlight can increase the field of vision by more than twenty meters, but it will also expose oneself.
Anyway, the sonar detection has exposed one's position. Not turning on the searchlight is like covering one's ears and stealing the bell.
While the forty Predator-class airframes spread out and turned on their searchlights, the Blue Dragon-class formation did not make any other movements. They still maintained a diamond-shaped formation of four people and never separated. However, their small guided torpedo caps had all been opened.
, sea water poured into the "shooting" tube. As long as the electromagnet at the tail of the torpedo is energized, the torpedo will be magnetically driven out, and at the same time, the inlet of the guided torpedo itself will be opened.
This kind of torpedo is not propelled by a traditional fish propeller, but is propelled by an injector, which is similar to a guide, except that it ejects gas instead of flame. The gas can also rotate in the direction under the adjustment of the microprocessor.
, adjust the attack direction of the torpedo, coupled with the locking and guidance functions, it is an underwater guide! It will not be affected by obstacles or water currents at all, and can find targets independently.
"Lock your respective targets. It's best not to repeat them. The one in the one o'clock direction will attack first." The commander of the Qinglong-class formation gave the order, and more than a dozen torpedoes rushed out of the firing tubes, spraying gas.
The strings of bubbles caused by the torpedo appear white in the sea water, constantly rolling upward, leaving a white trail behind the torpedo.[
The Yongcheng and Yonghe also found traces of those destroyers and cruisers through radar. After all, the distance was so close that although it was invisible to the naked eye, any radar absorption device was equivalent to being effective.
"Fire artillery salvos, predict based on their speed, all short-range defense systems are turned on, my eyes widened, don't miss a flying missile!" Sun Dayong understood in his heart that modern naval warfare,
Once this missile hits them, the entire ship will lose its combat effectiveness even if it is not scrapped.
/
Those Japanese cannot be rescued by the Americans, nor can they die on their ships, otherwise Untr will lose face and cannot reveal the truth of the matter.
The two ships Yongcheng and Yonghe changed their positions and came to the east side of the two aircraft carriers to conduct defensive operations. More than 80 artillery pieces were all facing the southeast, moving continuously.
After the operator of the fire control system calculated the advance amount, he pressed the "fire" button of the artillery. More than eighty cannons of different calibers rumbled out. The sound actually overshadowed the muffled thunder in the sky. In the darkness,
A white line of fire was drawn in the air, roaring towards him.
The cannon is not a guided missile, it is faster than a guided missile, and it is almost impossible to be shot down by machine guns and machine guns that enter the short-range defense system. Therefore, Sun Dayong did not issue an order to use guided missiles. Not to mention the waste of "medicine", the effect is not
very good.
The power of the large-caliber artillery is so great that several cannons hit a US Aegis-guided destroyer in the blink of an eye. The deck burst into flames in the storm, the side armor was also penetrated, the cabin began to leak, and the entire hull
It started to pour out, and the U.S. Navy soldiers on top rushed to put out the fire and make repairs, trying to keep the ship afloat for a while until rescue arrived.
The ship had lost its combat capability, but before the soldiers could complete the repairs, the second round of shelling followed. The 155mm cannon directly hit the command room, blowing the entire destroyer into two sections. The bow and stern were pointed at different points.
The direction tilted and began to sink into the water.
At the same time, the battle under the water has begun. The Qinglong-class guided torpedoes turned the five Predator-class underwater into a pile of scrap metal. Although the violent explosion produced did not burn the underwater Predator-class
They got up, but also destroyed their small nuclear reactor, but fortunately no nuclear explosion occurred.
The crippled Predator could only emit huge bubbles. After losing power and buoyancy, it slowly fell to the bottom of the sea. The pilot inside could not escape. He had already suffocated and lost consciousness. They were destined to have no choice but to escape.
Buried in the ravines of the sea, the bones remain.
"Captain, enemy destroyers and cruisers have been spotted from the one o'clock and nine o'clock directions! They are approaching us quickly, and there are quite a few of them. Eight of them have been spotted on the radar!" a radar observer said anxiously.
He took off his headphones and yelled at Sun Dayong behind him. He was very panicked.
The enemy drew a semicircle for their course of action, and actually rushed behind them!
Sun Dayong was shocked. The positions of the two submarines before and after World No. 1 and No. 2 had been exposed. Otherwise, it would have been impossible not to detect those cruisers and destroyers through sonar. Their positions must have been exposed, and the other side had bypassed the sound.
The scanning range of Nahe radar was planned from the beginning!
"Asshole. All the submarines quickly gathered in the nine o'clock direction. The destroyers directly in front told them to come closer. They separated into two Qinglong-class formations and rushed to support immediately!" At this time, Sun Dayong also had to worry.
It turned out that the Americans were much more difficult to deal with than he thought.
"Immediately ask for help from the Chinese fleet's logistics ship. We only need rescue and do not need their coordinated operations." Just after Sun Dayong finished saying this, he realized that the communication delay was very large and was almost paralyzed. When the Chinese fleet came over,
Their ship had already been sunk, and the sailors would have been swallowed up in the storm. It was too late.
"Can we only rely on ourselves?" Sun Dayong frowned and thought about something. After a few seconds, he suddenly thought that there was one last thing on the ship that was not used.
