Chapter 848: This Is a Rogue (I)
"The torpedo goes into the self-guided distance!" With a reminder from the sonar soldier, the two torpedoes were less than 8 kilometers away from the two submarines at the moment.
"Cut the wire! Steering 145, speed 35, depth 550." At the order of Pang Bing, the wire on the torpedo was immediately cut, and the submarine immediately began to turn slightly and began to accelerate and dive. And as soon as the wires were cut, the two torpedoes immediately and directly activated the active sonar.
"Active sonar slap! For example, 8000 km, oh my God, it's a torpedo! Velocity...... Speed 250! "When the active sonar of the torpedo was turned on, it immediately searched for two submarines in its target, so the two torpedoes directly entered the tail self-guidance mode, and the technique taken from the Russian Buran torpedo made the torpedo speed soar to a terrifying speed of 250 knots in just 5 seconds!
At speeds of up to 250 knots, this means that the torpedo can travel 462 kilometers per hour, and it only takes a little more than 1 minute to cover a distance of just over 8 kilometers. "The estimated time of torpedo arrival is 56 seconds, 55 seconds, 54 ......seconds," the sonars on the USS Mississippi and the USS Jimmy Carter shouted hoarsely, and the faces of both Lawrence and Kerso were furious with expressions of despair.
At a speed of up to 250 knots, such a torpedo is completely impossible to dodge, in fact, let alone a torpedo with a speed of up to 250 knots, even if it is an ordinary torpedo with a speed of about 55 knots, once it enters the self-guided mode, the possibility of getting rid of it is almost zero, and now, there is only one thing they can do. "Urgently float! Everyone immediately prepared to leave the submarine. "Lawrence and Kerso gave almost the same order.
In more than 50 seconds, the depth of the two boats was not particularly deep, especially the Mississippi. With a depth of only 50, it takes less than 10 seconds to make an emergency ascent, not to mention that they are fast now, and then the remaining time is enough to open the hatch, so that at least a dozen crew members can exit from the hatch.
The depth of the Jimmy Carter is only 150, which is not much longer than that of the Mississippi, at most a few seconds, and both boats can rise to the surface in a dozen seconds at most.
"Rise to the surface, turn on the radio, and report to the command that we are under attack!" Kerso's eyes were red. Said loudly. The signal soldier who received the order from Kerso did not speak, but replied loudly yes, but he knew that if he reached the surface of the sea, he would turn on the radio. It takes time to contact the fleet, to send a message. The remaining tens of seconds are just enough.
This also means that when the torpedo hits the submarine. There must have been no way for him to escape through the hatch, but the signal man didn't say anything.
"Captain, hurry up!" At this moment, the weapons officer, who was standing not far away, rushed directly over, dragging Kerso and about to rush towards the hatch.
"No, let the people near the hatch leave immediately, and after leaving the hatch, jump straight into the water. It's an order, quick! Don't waste time! Kelso shouted! With Kelso's voice, the person who gave the order next to him immediately informed everyone on the submarine of this order.
At this moment, on the blue sea, which is less than 13 kilometers away from the port of Naha, a low sound suddenly sounded on the calm sea. Then a huge black eagle rushed up from the bottom of the sea, with a terrifying angle of 45 ° and speed rushed out of the sea, and then smashed into the sea again, when it was stable on the sea, its hatch quickly opened, and then someone inside climbed out of it, after rushing out of the sea, the submarine has begun to slow down, but the person who rushed out of the submarine still did not stand firm, and was thrown out of the water.
Although it is possible that the water carried by the propeller will be swept into it and cause death, but there is still a chance of survival, and soon the two giant beasts rushed directly to the sea, from beginning to end Kelso did not let people launch torpedoes, because he knew that it was useless to launch torpedoes now, they didn't even know where the enemy was, but according to the time, It certainly wasn't fired from the place where the active sonar struck before.
And the speed of this torpedo is much beyond their imagination, "ready to receive a hit!" Countdown, 8, 7, 6...... As the sonar soldier shouted, almost everyone stranded in the submarine couldn't help but close their eyes and quietly listen to the countdown like death. “3,2,1!” As the sonar soldier counted down to the last second, everyone almost held their breath.
And at this moment on the sea, because the two submarines have already risen to the surface of the sea, the torpedo that entered the self-guidance has already drilled out of the sea a few hundred meters away, and in the sea, because of the cavity produced by the torpedo head, a bright white line has been raised, and it rushed towards the two submarines at a terrifying speed.
But when the torpedo that came at a terrifying speed was about 20 meters away from the submarine, the torpedo began to crack violently from the head, and the remaining part was directly like the thruster that was abandoned when the rocket was launched. Then there was a "bang" and hit the submarine.
There was a violent tremor of "buzz", and the places where the two submarines were hit were slightly dented, but there was no other result, and the vibrations from the impact of the submarines were much smaller than those of the emergency ascent. After a long time, every submariner with his eyes closed couldn't help but open his eyes, what's going on? Didn't explode? Could it be that this torpedo is a fake?
But at a speed of 250 knots, this is like driving at a speed of more than 400 kilometers to install it, even if the ammunition department will not explode, the impact will definitely make the two submarines receive heavy damage, but now the shock is extremely slight, and at this moment, the speed of the two submarines is very slow because of the engine stop, and the submariners of the old oil can easily walk around on the deck of the submarine, at this moment, the two submariners who just stood on the deck of the submarine, but did not jump off, opened their eyes and made sure that there was no explosion. Immediately rushed towards the place where the two submarines were attacked.
And at this moment, the US Pacific Fleet, which has just received a radio message, has gone crazy, and two attack nuclear submarines have been attacked? Does this mean a war against the U.S. government? And what exactly these two nuclear submarines are doing, the Pacific Fleet Command naturally knows, and this news was transmitted to the Pentagon almost in a very short time.
And the Inner Mongolia, which has been paying attention to the battle here, received the prompt of the Yangtze River to complete the task, and without saying a word, it turned directly to this place and sailed quickly, and the two anti-submarine destroyers and a destroyer frigate that were originally cruising near the Diaoyu Islands also quickly rushed here, and at the same time, two anti-submarine helicopters took off from the two destroyers and quickly flew here.
The Yangtze River did not leave this sea area, and after making sure that the enemy did not fire a torpedo to return fire at him, Pang Bing directly let his submarine come closer, but he did not go to the place where the Jimmy Carter and the Mississippi floated, but went directly from the bottom of the water, to the strait area between the Ryukyus and Taiwan/Bay, and had already run in front of the two submarines to carry out the mission. "What's going on? Didn't get blown up? After coming back to his senses, Kelso quickly grabbed an officer and soldier and asked.
"Report, there was no explosion, someone just jumped into the sea outside, we have to go and save them." The weapons officer, who had been caught by Kerso, said quickly and loudly.
"You go to the rescue, by the way check what's going on outside, the signal corps reports to the base, we are under attack, but the torpedo does not seem to have exploded, and we have not received any damage for the time being." Kelso immediately asked the signal corpsmen to start reporting to the Mississippi side, since he was like this, then the Mississippi side should also be like this, since this is the case, it must be reported to the Pacific Fleet base and the Department of Defense as soon as possible, otherwise, Kelso will naturally know the US military system.
The attack on the two nuclear submarines means that it is a declaration of war on the US military, and the United States has all kinds of countermeasures, and if it is a little delay, there may already be a missile launch, and when the time comes, it will trigger a war, and no one can afford it. The Pentagon is already in a hurry at the moment, and during the period of gathering intelligence and reporting to the President of the United States, it actually received reports from two more submarines, although they were attacked, but there was no damage? What does that mean?
Received the second message from US Secretary of Defense Chuck. Hagel immediately said to his men: "Are you sure you haven't received any damage?" Immediately confirm this information, and immediately contact the nearby fleet, so that they can quickly rush to support, by the way, send anti-submarine planes over, I want to know what is going on there as soon as possible. ”
"Yes!" The adjutant immediately gave a military salute and turned to leave, and Kelso, who was inside the submarine at this moment, also knew what was happening on his submarine, his face was a little distorted, "Are you sure?" We were attacked, yes, but only with a coat of paint on the injured part? And also drew a pattern? Kelso asked, almost word for word. (To be continued......)
