The attack just now obviously didn't hurt the other party, but the other party's deliberate slowing down made the captain of the Kurama feel a little strange, there are only two possibilities for this situation, first, the other party was injured in the attack just now, and second, the other party deliberately attracted himself to pursue.

Thinking of this, the corner of the captain's mouth showed a slight sneer, for him, no matter what kind of possibility it was, it would be useless, since the chief of staff had given the order that it could be sunk, there was only one possibility for the final outcome of the pursued target.

"The two-axis thrusters are fully powered, accelerate the pursuit, and when the target enters the range, the Asroc anti-submarine missile will be launched immediately." The distance to the target had been reduced to a distance of only twenty nautical miles, and at the command of the captain of the Kurama, the Kurama and Hiei simultaneously rushed forward at maximum speed.

Under the water, the sonar signal generated by the opponent's full-speed pursuit made its position clearly projected on the sonar screen of 202, looking at the little closer distance, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the moment. The two destroyers, and possibly the cooperation of anti-submarine aircraft, such a disparity in strength and quantity comparison, put the 202 in an absolute disadvantageous position. Judging by the sudden acceleration of the opponent, it is clear that the enemy has already determined his position.

In the command tower, all eyes unconsciously focused on Li Jianxin, feeling everyone's eyes, but Li Jianxin suddenly gave an unexpected order.

"The output power of the pressurized water reactor was reduced, the power compartment entered a low-speed idle state, the main water tank was drained, and it floated to a depth of 150 meters within one minute." At first glance, the order sounds like sending everyone to death.

“…… Yes, the output power of the PWR is reduced, and the power compartment enters a low-speed idle state. The main tank drains and rises to a depth of 150 meters in one minute. He hesitated. After making sure he had heard correctly, the herald quickly repeated.

The opponent's sonar signal showed that the target boat suddenly stopped moving. Turning to the top, the captain of the Kurama was somewhat surprised, and the contempt and impatience that had just filled his heart were swept away in an instant.

"The enemy's actions are so strange, what do they want to do? Could it be that the attack just now injured the opponent's submarine? Looking at the target signal on the sonar screen, which gradually stopped, the captain of the Kurama asked himself suspiciously.

"Mine bomb room, decoy torpedo ready!" At the same time, 202 boats. Li Jianxin ordered again.

"Yes, the mine bomb room, the decoy torpedo ready!"

"The bow, two, and four launch tubes are loaded, the launch direction angle is 15 degrees, the correction degree is 1 degree, and the second launch tube is launched!" After receiving the prepared answer, Li Jianxin ordered decisively.

"Yes. The bow, two, and four launch tubes were loaded, and the direction angle of launch was 15 degrees. Correction 1 degree, the second launch tube is launched! ”

"Goo, whoosh!" With the order given. A jet-black torpedo with about the same sonic signature as the 202 boat suddenly shot out of the head of the submarine. At the tail of the torpedo, the propeller slowly pushes it in the direction of launch. The slow pace makes you feel as if this is not a battlefield, but like a leisurely wet market.

"Turn 15 degrees to the left, the mine chamber is ready, the fourth launch tube in the bow of the ship, one bomb, the launch direction angle is 15 degrees, the correction angle is 1 degree, and the fourth launch tube is launched!" Looking at the sonar screen, after the decoy torpedo slowly drove forward for a distance, Li Jianxin ordered again.

Under the surface, the 202 boat slowly swung the rudder a few times, and the huge hull immediately turned its head lightly, and then, the huge bow repeated everything just now, and the same decoy torpedo was pushed out of the launch tube again, shooting at another angle.

On the water, a seemingly peculiar scene was also played out on the sonar screen of the Kurama at the same time, two signals, the speed is exactly the same, but the direction is dozens of degrees different The target is rapidly running in both directions. Seeing this scene, the anti-submarine aircraft in charge of the pursuit and the destroyer Hiei sent requests for inquiries one after another.

"The main pressurized water reactor is fully powered, the engine room is ready, plus the left rudder 15 degrees, the course positioning is 70, and the whole speed is forward!" And just when the Kurama was puzzled, Li Jianxin calmly started the submarine again under the surface and quickly drove forward.

An interesting phenomenon has emerged: at a certain time interval, targets with extremely similar sonar characteristics are now heading in three different directions at the same speed and at absolutely precise angles, and the troops in charge of the pursuit are completely confused at the moment, and which target to continue to pursue has become a problem that urgently needs to be screened.

"Active sonar is subject to resonant interference, and the specific results need to wait for computer analysis!" When the captain of the Kurama turned his inquiring gaze to the sonarman, he received a rather disappointing answer.

Time passed minute by minute, and the distance that had been pulled in was pulled away again, and looking at the three targets that were gradually moving away, the captain of the Kurama could only stay nearby and wait for the results of the analysis.

The comparison of the sonar database finally came out, and the characteristics of the third signal were obviously the most similar to the database, and seeing the screening results, the captain of the Kurama immediately couldn't wait to give the order to pursue again.

The opponent was clearly a cunning fellow, and he did a very good job of deception, using the cancellation between sonars to disguise himself as a decoy torpedo and escape, but alas, it would have been nice if he had been patient. If he hadn't exposed himself earlier, his deception would have really succeeded, but now it's too late, and the computer has already confirmed his extremely subtle sonar signatures, and I'm afraid that the same trick will be ineffective if it is used again.

"Order the anti-submarine helicopter units, as soon as the location of the target is confirmed, to attack freely." Captain Kurama has lost patience with his pursued targets, and for him, only sinking them can make him feel happy.

Li Jianxin's position was roughly locked again, and the HSS-2B Sea King helicopter flew quickly over the 202 boat like a falcon, and after circling for a while, two Mk46 anti-submarine torpedoes were immediately dropped, and the computer in the torpedo body had already been the first to be input into the detailed sonar characteristics of the 202, and as soon as it entered the water, it immediately flew to the waters where the 202 boat was located.

"A high-speed mobile signal was found, the speed was 40 knots, the distance was one nautical mile, and it was expected to encounter it in one minute and thirty seconds!" The sonar's serious face once again told everyone that another crisis was approaching.

"Thunder bomb room one, two, three, four launch tubes, No. 2 bombs, fan-shaped salvo, two at a time, one minute apart!" Looking at the rapidly approaching point of light representing the torpedo, Li Jianxin ordered again.

"Yes, the 1234 launch tube in the thunder bomb room, the No. 2 bomb, a fan-shaped salvo, two at a time, with an interval of one minute!" For Li Jianxin's strange order, although others were no longer surprised, while conveying the order, others still instinctively took measures to absorb the shock.

Four direct-course torpedoes without a homing head were fired out of the launch tube one after another, while SCP-202 slowly hovered in the sea at this critical moment. On the screen, the trajectories of the torpedoes fired by both sides quickly stretched into a straight line, and when the two straight lines were about to meet, a dull but powerful explosion suddenly sounded.

"Boom, boom!" The shock wave generated by the violent explosion in the water quickly spread to both the enemy and us at a speed of 1,450 m/s, and the 202 boat, which was originally suspended in the water, suddenly shook with the shock wave like a lonely boat in a huge wave.

The No. 2 bomb is a timed torpedo, which is preset to explode at the moment of encounter with the opponent's torpedo, and the shock wave suddenly swept the incoming torpedo far away from the predetermined orbit.

"Hiei, I order your ship to speed up immediately, and cooperate with the anti-submarine aircraft to sink the target submarine!" This nasty submarine is so hateful, looking at the aftermath of the explosion that keeps reverberating on the sonar screen, the captain of the Kurama has a feeling that he wants to pinch the opposing commander to death, just like a fisherman who has all the tools to catch it, but the fish does not take the bait. If possible, the captain of the Kurama even wanted to drain the sea water and fish it out.

"High-speed torpedo signal detected! Rumble! But at the same time as he gave the order, the hoarse shouts of the Hiei signal soldiers were suddenly heard from the communicator, and at the same time as he heard the shouts, the Hiei, which was sailing not far away, suddenly sounded an earth-shattering explosion.

"No, it can't be, the enemy has counterattacked?" Hearing the explosion, the captain of the Kurama suddenly felt that his mind went blank.

On the surface of the sea, the huge explosion was like an avalanche, and huge waves tens of meters high were raised. The sturdy destroyer was tossed high in the monstrous waves caused by the explosion, like a toy made of building blocks, and the original sturdy hull of the Hiei was immediately broken in two from the middle under the devastation of the explosion.

A huge vortex quickly formed in the center of the explosion, and the hull gradually began to tilt under the drive of the vortex, and the surging sea water rolled out of the breach with a huge whistling sound and rushed into the cabin, and then wildly swept all the movable objects in the cabin out of the cabin.

The explosion came so suddenly, and there was no sign of the attack even before, neither sonar nor anti-submarine aircraft, which had captured the traces of the attack beforehand. If it weren't for the fact that it was located in the center of the sea and there were no mines to make, the captain of the Kurama would have even thought that the Hiei had hit a mine.

"Immediately release the rescue boat, send a distress signal to the fleet, the anti-submarine aircraft will alert the accident area, and the unalert duty personnel will immediately carry out the rescue!" After pondering for a moment, the captain of the Kurama quickly ordered.

"What the hell is going on, are there signs on sonar?" After giving a series of orders without stopping, the captain of the Kurama immediately asked the sonar officer beside him.

"I'm sorry Your Excellency, all carrier-based anti-submarine helicopters are currently searching for the other party's hidden submarines, and the active sonar has just found no abnormality." Seeing the captain's angry expression, the sonar officer immediately whispered.

"Immediately order, the anti-submarine helicopter team to reduce the alert and watch out for ambush submarines around! At the same time, the information center was ordered to immediately analyze the cause of the attack on the Hiei. Such a sudden change made the captain of the Kurama feel a little flustered, but after trying to calm his emotions, he immediately calmly ordered. (To be continued......)
