This Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine is in service with the U.S. Navy's combat sequence. Under the management and leadership of the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, the steel behemoth is slowly sailing at a speed of 10 knots in the middle of the Yellow Sea, less than 50 nautical miles from China's coastline to be exact.

At this moment, this most ferocious and insidious killing machine made by human beings is like a ferocious shark hidden in the ocean, looking for food!

Of course, the USS Columbia attack nuclear submarine is naturally not idle and has nothing to do to come over to make soy sauce, this time it is to carry out a secret mission!

Over the years, the Americans, who had brought down the former Soviet Union, suddenly found that it would be nice if there was no opponent in the world after a while of triumph, but if they planned to enjoy the fruits of their victory in peace, it was also unlikely, because the huge eastern dragon opposite them that was on the rise had begun to show signs of recovery!

This is not good news for Americans! Once this dragon takes off again, where will the world boss go? In order to safeguard the interests of the Americans themselves, it is natural that it is more in the interests of the United States to beat this awakening dragon again until he collapses and continues to sleep.

Given that China's naval power has grown considerably over the years, it has posed a huge threat to U.S. interests in the Asia-Pacific region. Then China's maritime power, which is developing, will naturally become a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh of the Americans!

In the Chinese Navy, the two "Kirov" class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruisers and "Glorious-class" heavy missile cruisers obtained from the Russians are regarded by the US Navy as the targets of the first round of key strikes when necessary to safeguard the Asia-Pacific interests of the United States because of their huge threat to the US Asia-Pacific aircraft carrier formation!

The purpose of the USS Columbia nuclear submarine coming to this place this time was also aimed at the "Kirov"-class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruisers.

The US Navy has never stopped collecting all kinds of intelligence on the Chinese Navy, and fools know what its purpose is.

A month ago, the US Navy received information that the Kirov-class heavy nuclear-powered missile cruisers, which were originally part of the East China Sea Fleet, were to be transferred to the North Sea Fleet, so that the officers and men of the North Sea Fleet could familiarize themselves with the use and management of super-large surface ships and improve the overall quality and level of the Chinese Navy.

Although this news is not good news for the US Navy, it is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to obtain the aquatic characteristics of the "Kirov" class cruisers, and the purpose of the Columbia is to record the underwater acoustic characteristics of the "Kirov" class cruisers with the help of the advanced underwater acoustic detection equipment it carries, so as to create an opportunity for this damn cruiser to be an artificial reef on the bottom of the sea if possible in the future.

"Sonar, I'm the captain, what's going on? Has the goal arrived? "Looking at the charts, Simon. Davis asked the sonar.

"Sir, there is no movement, and the target still hasn't appeared yet." The sonar whispered back.

"Very good, Hawkes, good job, be careful, we can't afford to miss this mission!" Captain Simon. Davis breathed a sigh of relief as he cursed in a low voice. “****！ Can't these damn yellow-skinned pigs come over quickly? ”。

For the level of trust in sonar officer Hawkes's ears, Simon. Davis felt that it was definitely higher than believing that his wife would not go out to find another man while he was out at sea, and for several years, Hawkes never made a mistake, and with this magical pair of ears, Hawkes also earned a reputation as "bat" among the sonar soldiers of the American Pacific Fleet. …,

This title is not something that everyone can get, only the sonar with the most powerful ears can get this glorious title, and for a submarine sailing hundreds of meters deep in the ocean, which submarine has such a super sonar on it, it means that the entire submarine personnel have been added with an insurance - if it weren't for the fact that Hawkes was trained from this attack nuclear submarine, the first two captains have been strongly insisting that Hawkes stay, The kid was snatched away by the captains of the other submarines of the submarine force.

"Don't worry, boss, as long as you ask me to go to Tokyo to find a 14-year-old girl after this return flight, I promise that there will be no problems at all." Sonar Hawkes pretended to be relaxed with a hint of tiredness in his voice, but this is normal, anyone will feel tired after concentrating on work for several hours, not to mention the special position of sonar officer who cannot have a trace of slackness in his attention, and the speed of mental fatigue is naturally faster.

In the call channel, there were bursts of good-natured laughter, mixed with the whistles of some guys. Although this is theoretically not allowed, at this time, as the captain of the boat, Simon. Davis didn't say anything, and apparently, things like this were taken for granted to these guys.

Each mission of the nuclear submarine will last at least a month, and a group of energetic men will not be able to see a woman within a month, which is simply the most painful and unbearable thing in the world for the American submarine officers and soldiers, so after returning to the base after completing the mission, finding a woman to put out the fire has naturally become the first choice for these guys with more than a meal.

The US Navy is also very considerate of these "poor" nuclear submariners, and even among the huge subsidies issued to them, there is also a special subsidy of a large amount, although no one says it, but everyone knows that this is used to subsidize the expenses of these guys to find women after they go ashore -- the US military is really thoughtful enough for its own soldiers.

"Bastard," said Simon, who was in a relaxed mood. Davis scolded with a smile, "Lao Tzu doesn't make this bet with you, whoever doesn't know who makes this bet with you will lose......"

"Boom!" Simon. Before Davis's words fell, a dull crash accompanied by a tooth-aching metal friction sound reached the ears of all the officers and men of the USS Columbia nuclear submarine, and the whole submarine shook violently! Immediately afterward, the sound of rapid explosions and the sound of sea water flowing into the cabin of the submarine reached everyone's ears like a horn for a demonic attack.

Countless unprepared soldiers were thrown out of their posts and knocked their faces full of blood, the soldiers who were resting were thrown out like a tennis ball, and the lucky guys fell heavily on hard surface-like objects such as doors and walls.

Inside the entire submarine, blood-like red lights kept flickering, and the poignant sirens sounded in every compartment on the submarine!

We were attacked? The nuclear submarine of the US Navy was actually attacked? At this moment. Everyone was in disbelief, all of them were bloodless!

Three seconds ago, if you look at the ocean above and on the side of the Columbia nuclear submarine, a huge black shadow with a sharp horn on its head slammed into the middle of the Columbia nuclear submarine with its long horn at a speed that no sea creature could match.

When this black shadow with a body length of 120 meters, carrying its huge kinetic energy at a speed of more than 200 kilometers per hour, slammed into the nuclear submarine Columbia, which can be considered stationary relative to itself, the solid submarine hull outside the submarine was made of special steel, which was as fragile as tofu in front of the sharp and huge horns, and did not play the slightest protective role, and the sharp impact angles with a diameter of 2 meters and a length of more than 20 meters, together with a huge impact, were like a table knife in the butter. Two transparent holes over 2.5 meters in diameter were easily pierced through the sides of the Columbia's hull. …,

For a Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine with a diameter of only about 10 meters, the impact angle of 20 meters long and 2 meters thick is really too fatal.

Immediately, there was a creaking and tooth-aching sound of steel grinding and bending.

As if a little dissatisfied with the fact that this steel monster could withstand its own impact, the huge black shadow pulled its sharp horns out of the hull, shook its huge body, swam into the distance, turned around again, and aimed its flickering cold and cold impact angle at the slowly sinking nuclear submarine in front of him......

"All units quickly reported to me the damage to the submarine, reported the location of the accident, and the damage management personnel were quickly in place! Hawkes, what's going on? Torpedo attack? "Simon with a head of blood. Davis didn't bother to wipe the blood off his head. Grabbed the intercom and yelled, "Why didn't you alert me?" ”

"Sir, the management damage team reports that the three watertight compartments of No. 6, No. 7, No. 8 are seriously flooded!"

"Sir, this is the engine room, the engine room is seriously damaged, the water ingress is serious, apply to evacuate!"

"Sir, this is the bow torpedo compartment, we have 5 wounded here!"

"Sir, we have a serious loss of power!"

“sir。 Here it is......"

"Sir, this is sonar," Hawkes' voice cried heavily at the moment, "The passive sonar has not detected any enemy submarines, is it possible to turn on the active sonar to detect?" Yes? What's going on, and why is the sonar blackout? By the end, Hawkes' voice was like a poor stray dog that had been kicked into the water, whimpering.

"Sir," the always mild-mannered first mate was like an African bison who went crazy watching his cubs being snatched away, and no longer paid attention to the dignity and humility of the most important in the army, and grabbed Simon with blood-red eyes and a hideous face. Davis's collar, "We have to float up immediately!" Floating! ”

The fear of death has made the first mate forget the basics of what he should do as a soldier.

Floating? Looking at the increasingly sloping floor under his feet, listening to the sound of rushing water and the terrible sirens that seemed to be urging his life, he already knew that this was Simon's final destination. The corners of Davis's mouth only left a wry smile, and he smashed the bright red button in front of him that was covered by transparent plexiglass. Blood was pouring down Davis' hands! As if he didn't feel pain, Simon Davis's fingers slowly pressed the exposed button: Do we still have a chance to float?

However, the truth is so cruel that Simon. Davis pressed the button, and a crash that was even more violent than just before fell on the body of the USS Columbia, as if it was a rag doll thrown by the Terminator. Davis's body flew out suddenly, and his temple slammed into the sharp instrument horn behind him......

"Sir, I think you need to take a look at this information." In Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, where the headquarters of the U.S. Pacific Fleet is located, in the office of U.S. Pacific Fleet Commander Blair, Blair's secretary handed over a piece of information to Blair.

"Oh......" Blair glanced up at his secretary, and the secretary's expression conveyed a meaning like Blair's resolute and unmistakable meaning: It is better for you to take a look at this information.

The USS Columbia nuclear submarine is missing!

Missing? Blair flipped through the information and glanced at it, his originally indifferent eyes suddenly became extremely solemn, and countless thoughts instantly flashed through his mind: What is going on? Was the Columbia attacked? Did you encounter undersea turbulence? Or did you hit an undersea mountain that is not on the chart?

"Was it being attacked?". Frowning, Blair asked.

"Not attacked, it's missing, as far as it has been. The Columbia has not sent back information, 36 hours have passed since the last time the information was sent back, according to the requirements of this mission, during this time, the Columbia should have sent back two signals," the secretary repeated his words again, paused, and said again, "According to the analysis of the intelligence department, it doesn't look like it hit a rock or a mountain range on the bottom of the sea, or even like it encountered a turbulence ...... the bottom of the sea"...,

Unlike ballistic missile nuclear submarines, which require a high degree of secrecy during the entire voyage, in the US Navy's combat series, the attack nuclear submarines that appear as an important Haitian escort force of the aircraft carrier formation can often maintain contact with the base, and even appear in front of the world as a surface sailing posture during the voyage of the aircraft carrier formation: this is a naked show off of their powerful force by the Americans.

Moreover, for the accuracy of this mission, the USS Columbia needs to send back a signal every period of time, and this signal may be a random and meaningless signal agreed in advance, and the only purpose of this signal is that the submarine assures the headquarters that it is now safe - of course, if the intelligence reaches a very critical situation, it will naturally be another signal - so that even if the enemy's electronic intelligence department disproves this signal, Nor will they understand what exactly this signal means.

"Why didn't you report it to me in time when you didn't receive a signal the first time?" Blair looked furious.

"According to the regulations, it is necessary to report to you again the second time, and the first time the signal was not received at the specified time, the intelligence services thought that it might be that the Columbia had discovered something, and did not send the signal back for the sake of secrecy and concealment......," the secretary said quickly, with a tense heart.

Blair waved his hand and motioned for the secretary to say no more.

When the mission was originally arranged, this was indeed taken into account, and if the Columbia believed that the environment and conditions it was in at that time were not suitable for contact with the command, it could stop contact, as long as the next normal contact was fine, so when the Columbia did not contact the base at the specified time, it was reasonable for the intelligence department to think that the Columbia might be in some special situation, after all, the orbit of the US reconnaissance satellite was not in this airspace at that time. It is not possible to provide intelligence services with information on the distribution of armed forces in the waters near the USS Columbia nuclear submarine at that time.

"Then the conclusion of the intelligence department is ......" frowned tightly, and determined every letter in the intelligence very carefully, looking at the black English letters on it, I don't know why, Blair had a strong premonition in his heart, it seems, the black, is more like the color of death.

"Sir, after analyzing the situation, the intelligence department believes that the possibility of an attack on the Columbia is not very large, our signal collector in that area did not detect the appearance of a powerful explosion, and the submarine plate did not find any violent turbulence, so the possibility of an earthquake in Haiti or a sneak attack by some countries can be basically ruled out."

"Even if the Columbia was attacked by some countries, but with the advanced reconnaissance equipment on the Columbia, we don't think that the Columbia was attacked even if the opponent found out, and even if it was really possible, I don't think that the Columbia would not even have time to send the last emergency signal, which is completely impossible for the most advanced Columbia." The secretary said with an affirmative expression.

In fact, although the US military requires that the personal safety of officers and men be ensured as much as possible in terms of equipment, certain situations cannot be avoided, especially nuclear submarines sailing in the depths of the ocean, once attacked, there is basically no possibility of escape, in order to allow the base to quickly grasp its own situation, the US nuclear submarines are all equipped with an emergency signal-sending device, if the situation of the submarine is indeed to the last moment, the captain only needs to press a button, and the submarine will send this signal. When the base received this signal, one thing was certain: the submarine and the officers and men on it were all sacrificed.

This device, only the captain is qualified to press it, and this set of signaling devices is the red button, until the last moment, no one will touch this button, but the Columbia did not even send this signal back, which really makes people feel that something is wrong.

"So, there's a huge chance of an accident on the Columbia?" Blair looked up and looked out the window.

Outside the window, the beautiful scenery of Hawaii and the sapphire sky are so beautiful and charming.
