Chapter 120: The Decisive Battle

It is really impossible to fight, this frigate has four nuclear anti-submarine missiles in the air, but it is helpless against the enemy who is close at hand, because it is so close, so close that it is almost directly below, let alone using nuclear depth bombs, even ordinary deep bombs may not blow up the enemy first.

But just as the captain and his men were staring at the sonar screen without tears, the attack of the second fool began, and the giant sea monster almost instantly began its classic sprint that had made the American Imperial Navy unforgettable.

"Shoot a deep bomb!" Looking at the enemy coming like a cannonball under the water, the captain roared in horror.

It's a pity that he overestimated the courage of his soldiers and fired deep bullets? Where, throw it down against the side of the ship? More than 100 kilograms of ZHA medicine exploded under oneself and it was impossible to injure the enemy two thousand meters underwater, but there was no problem in injuring oneself. Now the situation is very clear, it is useless to launch ordinary deep bombs, launch nuclear anti-submarine missiles and monsters will end up together, if you do not launch nuclear anti-submarine missiles, monsters will definitely destroy their own warships with torpedoes.

The USS Washington can testify.

Since there is nothing to choose in this way, both left and right are dead, so it is better to run quickly!

Almost all the sailors abandoned their duties and fled from their posts in a swarm, and at the same time that the second fool fired two torpedoes, they fled to the bow of the ship that was the least likely to be targeted, and scrambled to jump off the sea.

In the distance, passengers and reporters watched with binoculars and cameras on an accompanying environmental group yacht, and before they could understand what was happening, they saw the 4,000-ton frigate leap upwards in the middle and then a huge wave of steel splinters into the sky.

At this point, it was less than two kilometers away. The Nassau was frantically spewing rockets and deep bombs, and the smoke trails turned the entire battleship into brilliant fireworks.

"Launch, keep shooting!" Major General Thomas roared.

He broke out in a cold sweat at this time. The pressure on this notorious monster was too great, after all, the Washington was destroyed by its attack, and the Nassau was not as strong as the Washington, and if he wanted to save his life, he would have to delay until the Yorkshire was within range of the nuclear anti-submarine missile, and it would not take too long, only a few minutes.

But it's a pity for this ancient warship that has been built for almost forty years. This was already a completely impossible luxury, because at the same time that the frigate was blown in half, two heavy torpedoes were on the track. It has pierced its waterline like a spear.

"Torpedo!" In a barrage of screams of terror, a steam gas torpedo slammed close to the bow of the Nassau, but before the sailors could wipe a cold sweat, the second torpedo slammed into the middle waterline. The four-hundred-kilogram black Suojin charge was instantly detonated. Flames erupted with sea water and steel in a terrifying explosion.

Nearly 20 kilometers away, looking at the faint fire in the direction of the Nassau in the distance, the captain of the Yorkshire kept urging to accelerate, the acceleration of the gas turbine was undoubted, and the powerful power of nearly 90,000 horsepower drove the 9,000-ton giant ship to accelerate to more than 30 knots in a very short time. Because there was no vertical launch device, the old Asroc used on the cruiser actually had a range of just over ten kilometers, which was not enough to launch a nuclear anti-submarine missile, and it had to be closer.

"Enemy attack!"

But at this time. With the sonar man screaming, five points of light appear on the sonar screen. Insert diagonally in front of it at a high speed of 200 knots.

"Keep going!" The captain gritted his teeth and shouted, he knew very well the goals of these enemies, and at that moment, a series of fires suddenly exploded in the direction of the Nassau, followed by a thunderous explosion.

The Nassau was hit by four more torpedoes.

The second round of attack of the second fool did not dodge a single one, a total of five heavy torpedoes almost completely blew its starboard side, and the sea water poured into the shocking breaches one after another.

"Abandon ship, abandon ship immediately!" Rear Admiral Thomas did not hesitate to give the order, the end of this battleship is already doomed, the power of five heavy torpedoes is that the Nimitz-class aircraft carriers will have to be severely damaged, not to mention that even if they survive this round of attacks, they will not survive the next round, so there is no need for more people to continue to die for the absurd decisions of those politicians.

After receiving the order from the fleet commander, chaos immediately broke out on the sinking Nassau, and everyone scrambled to escape from their posts and poured into the dock at the stern, which as an amphibious assault ship contained a large number of hovercraft just in time for evacuation.

And just when the large-scale evacuation on the Nassau began, the Yorkshire and the Gates on the other side also entered the anti-submarine missile launch range almost at the same time, but unfortunately they could not launch either, because their enemy was directly below the Nassau at this time, and the explosion of 10,000 tons would swallow up all the hundreds of sailors who were evacuating.

"These bastards!" The captain of the Yorkshire roared angrily, but then his trouble came, for the enemy who had attacked him had already come within ten kilometers, and with the course and speed of both sides, it would not take him a minute to rush to him.

"Slow down and turn left to move closer to the convoy!" The captain immediately made a decision.

The Yorkshire, which was originally reinforcing the Nassau, immediately turned left and cut to the convoy five kilometers away, and at this time, except for the two frigates that came forward to pick up Rear Admiral Thomas and the crew of the Nassau, and at the same time took over the frontal defense mission of the Nassau, one cooperated with an Austin-class dock landing ship in the tail to defend the rear road, and the remaining four frigates and one Austin-class were all scattered outward, and the entire fleet could no longer guarantee two lines of defense, and it must be re-formed with a reinforced defense line, otherwise it could only continue to be broken by each one.

But at this time, all the sonars of all ships have lost the trace of the giant octopus, which dived directly to the bottom of the sea under the cover of Rear Admiral Thomas and others, and the complex terrain and the constant interference sounds around it, Yan zhòng affected the detection ability of the sonar, and the sonar that did not find it in the background of the seabed was also unable to find it at this time, everyone knew where it was, but they could not know its exact location.

Five targets on the starboard side of the Yorkshire also stopped, seven kilometers away, and even the cruiser's phased array radar was able to occasionally detect their dorsal fins on the surface of the sea.

"What do they want to do?" The captain of the Yorkshire and his officers looked at each other.

It is pointless to launch a nuclear anti-submarine missile at such a distance, the other side can clearly see the trajectory of the missile in the air, and this distance of the nuclear anti-submarine missile has to fly for twenty seconds, and twenty seconds is enough for these guys to jump out of two kilometers, plus the time from the warhead to the explosion, they can easily avoid the attack range of the explosion.

Unless luck is enough to land the missiles in their escape path, it is a pure waste of ammunition.

The sea that had been full of war suddenly returned to calm, eerie calm, only the occasional explosion was heard on the sinking Nassau, and in the escort of the entire fleet, the crew of those tankers were trembling and looking at the periphery, waiting for the outcome of this battle.

Because there was no interference, the remaining warships of the US imperialists re-formed their formation, including Rear Admiral Thomas, who was also picked up on a frigate, but they were all well aware that the battle was far from over.

At this time, on the periphery of the battlefield, more and more ships were hired by environmental protection groups, most of them were large and wealthy yachts with the ability to sail to the sea, and there were also some fishing boats, more than 200 when they left Panama City, and some of them were forced back by the last storm, but there are still more than 100. It's all rich and idle guys, including reporters from various countries, most of them are in the mood of watching the excitement, anyway, it's just a sea trip to Hawaii, and it's not worth mentioning these guys who often have nothing to do across the Atlantic or Pacific Ocean.

Because of the broadcast of these ships, the crushing defeat of the US imperialists in the battle was being delivered to the people of the world through the guò network and television.

"The politicians in Washington succeeded, they got a show, but alas, it was someone else's." Major General Thomas, who had escaped, sneered and said that because of the timely run, less than twenty people on board the Nassau died, and all the others escaped, and he did not even get his clothes wet.

Just as he finished saying this, the bow of a frigate in the distance suddenly flashed with fire, followed by a huge wave spraying into the sky.

"The Cromelin strikes a mine!" The Chief of Staff reported with grief to Major General Thomas.

"Strike? Where did the mines come from? Major General Thomas said with a shocked look on his face.

He was indeed shocked, the mine could only be dropped by the enemy at close range, but even if the sonar system was now being interfered with, it was impossible for the Cromlin, which had multiple sets of sonar, to let a monster run silently in front of him and drop the mine, if it had been dropped before, it was also even more impossible to avoid the sonar, this thing was metal, and there was an internal cavity in order to achieve buoyancy, although it was small, the echo in the sea water was still very obvious.

The chief of staff shook his head, he really didn't know that the Cromlin hadn't even received any warning, but at this moment, the bow of the Austin-class dock landing ship Dubuk shook sharply upward, and then the huge wave of explosion erupted.

"Stop advancing, the fleet ceases advancing!" Major General Thomas wiped a cold sweat and shouted without hesitation.

The advancing fleet immediately began to slow down, and at the same time the propellers reversed, dozens of ships, including the Dubuic and the Cromlin, which were struck by the mines, slowly stopped, and all the officers and men of the US Imperial Navy stared at the sea in disbelief, these two mines came too strangely, the only enemy who could drop this thing was nearly ten kilometers on the starboard side of the Yorkshire, so who put them on the channel?
