Chapter 1398: The Submarine Left Behind
In the eyes of many civilians in New York, the warships that are attacking New York are demonic existences, they are pouring war on Wall Street, the financial center of the United States, looking at Wall Street, which has been shrouded in fire, all civilians can do is to flee the city, God knows if the shells will fall on their heads next, the cessation of the cannonade and the departure of the fleet, for them, it is a good thing, the nightmare has left, most of the civilian areas have not been attacked, otherwise, When four powerful Fantasy class ships ravaged the whole of New York, the number of casualties could not be so small.
In the hearts of Ross, as well as JP Morgan and others, there is hatred, why do they just run away like this, why don't they confront head-on, like rats, they will only sneak attack?
At this time, the fire on Wall Street has begun to get more and more intense, and the troops responsible for fighting the fire can only cut off the connection between the neighborhoods that are not on fire and the neighborhoods that are not on fire, so that the fire will not continue to spread, as for the area that has been burning, there is no way at all, the buildings with a long history and full of wealth are gradually burning and collapsing in the fire, everyone knows that the loss at the moment of being attacked is only a relatively small number, and the fire that continues to burn will further aggravate the loss. It's a pity that no one has a way.
The chaebol personnel began to organize the people to fight the fire, and the water that came out of the river could only be a drop in the bucket for the raging fire, and even some of the condensed oil and white phosphorus that did not explode, or completely burned out, these things were very lethal to the firefighters after a deflagration, and there was no way to do it, and after hundreds of casualties again, the firefighting operation finally stopped, and the futile efforts increased the casualties, and they could only wait for the fire to finally extinguish except for the heavy rain from the sky.
Ross was frantically contacting the reinforced warships, hoping to contact one of them, the unreliable radio, still had no effect here, but the cable telegraph contacted other ports and garrisons, without exception, the warships within 300 kilometers nearby were on the way to support here, and could not be contacted, unless New York sent warships to contact.
It's a pity that a sneak attack on the fleet directly knocked down the backbone of the New York Navy, and the only one with flesh and blood had already fallen on the way to the charge, and the tragic situation of the torpedo boats, as well as the extremely high death rate, so that none of these navies dared to set off, at least before the Chinese fleet went far, no sea force dared to leave New York Harbor.
In front of many powerful families in the United States, Ross complained countless times about the Navy's determination to fight, as well as the problem of radio, although it did not change his fate, the loss of Wall Street, the financial center of the United States, hundreds of tons of gold, there must always be a scapegoat, there is no one more suitable object than Ross, but for the Navy's willpower choice and radio, has become the biggest focus after this war.
An army without the spirit of sacrifice does not have much combat effectiveness in frontal combat, and it is necessary to define a degree in terms of individual choice and overall choice, and this point has been basically completed in Europe, and the US military units in Europe are not so loose that they can casually refuse orders issued by their superiors, but they have not spread to the United States. As for radio, under the premise of increased investment by the chaebols, the progress is also much faster than in history.
From New York, the nearest military base, only more than 100 kilometers, after receiving the news of the attack on New York, they immediately put things in order, the first fleet to arrive in New York was composed of 4 light cruisers and 6 destroyers, but unfortunately when they arrived, the war had ended at least 1 hour, looking at an apocalyptic scene New York, which is still the largest city in the United States they are familiar with, the financial center?
After a little touch with the New York side, after knowing the combat effectiveness of the attack fleet, this force did not leave rashly, in their opinion, even if they catch up, they can't help the other party, maybe it will become the result of the other party, but fortunately, what they know is that at least a few have 10,000 tons of warships, although they are only patrolling, they are not the opponent of the opponent's capital ship at all, but when the number of warships increases to a certain extent, they also have enough strength to kill the other party.
The port of New York, which itself was greatly attacked, almost turned the entire commercial port into a ruin, but the military port on the inner side of the river was preserved, because of the distance and efficiency, Cheng Biguang's fleet did not attack him, which also allowed the warships that had just arrived to rest.
I have to say that the vigilance of the United States at this time is quite poor, even if it is coming to support New York, knowing that it will face a situation of war, but these ships are also very arrogant into the military port and directly extinguish the fire for replenishment.
You must know that the sneak attack fleet is faced with the possibility of surrounding them and they quickly left, but the fleet that attacked New York did not all leave, and eight submarines stayed here, looking for opportunities, in the eyes of the submarine commander, the Americans are afraid that they will have to transfer a small number of ships, and even include some former dreadnoughts, these warships with weak combat effectiveness, not big or small, are still a target.
The two parts have no direct jurisdiction, they are combined because of the sneak attack on New York, and Cheng Biguang also knows a little about the mentality of the submarine commander, and when they came to New York, they were more escorting the capital ship, which did not have any effect, and they were a little unwilling.
The battleship has been shelled for 2 hours, and most of the shells and the like are consumed, and they need to be replenished, but the consumption of submarine forces is not large, and it is not a problem at all for the month-long ocean-going submarines, such a casual cruise, they are willing to stay, and the previous results have proved that the Qin-class is facing the sonar of this era, and it is almost an unsolvable proposition, as long as these submarines are not stupid enough to shoot in the crowded place of the opponent's warships.
After Cheng Biguang left, 8 submarines lurked here, and even quietly opened the periscope in a hidden position, it can be said that the 10 warships that arrived this time have always entered the New York Military Port under their monitoring, they have at least 5 chances to completely annihilate these warships, but they did not make a move, according to the reconnaissance of the reconnaissance aircraft, there are at least 7 warships with more than 10,000 tons of warships around, since they want to pursue greater results, 10,000 tons of warships, it is much better than these miscellaneous fish.
In the sky, 6 of the 8 reconnaissance planes are still cruising, 2 follow Cheng Biguang, providing cover for the 4 main fleets, no way, in a strange area, completely all the enemy, without the eyes of the reconnaissance aircraft, the 4 capital ships will not be able to move an inch, fortunately, just to avoid the enemy, 2 is enough, in order to support 8 submarines, better hit the enemy's 6 seaplanes stayed, for them to find targets.
After getting the news of the departure of the sneak attack fleet, the U.S. Navy immediately ordered the surrounding fleets to support, and after Cheng Biguang left, Ross also notified the pursuing fleet as soon as possible, but unfortunately, there was no mature radio, and they could not send the order to everyone at the first time. Knowing how powerful the opponent's warships were, the first to arrive was to wait, and only after the number of fleets reached a certain level, they continued to attack.
In order to reach New York as soon as possible, New York was hit almost devastatingly, which was unacceptable to any American, and to reduce the losses in New York, all the warships came as quickly as possible.
Almost 1.5 hours after Cheng Biguang left, two light ships came in formation, also defenseless, they didn't worry about the Chinese fleet killing back at all, if the submarine formation wanted to achieve results, I am afraid that none of these 24 ships could escape.
Dididi, on the submarine, the sound of the radio sounded, the correspondent quickly picked up the earpiece, translated the message, it turned out, the No. 4 reconnaissance plane found a fleet, suitable as their target, 59 nautical miles south of New York, there are two mounted cruisers and two heavy cruisers as the core formation formation, only three light ships with them, is the best target.
The tonnage of 13,000 tons of patrols, and the heavy patrol also exceeded 10,000 tons, which is definitely one of the important forces for the United States, which is currently missing capital ships, knowing that the main force of the sneak attack on New York is the battleships, they have also been transferred to use as a confrontation, there are at least 12 similar fleets, and only with nearly 50 warships concentrated, the Americans have the confidence to fight with the Chinese fleet, which is the capital ship of the same level as the fantasy class, and the degree of attack in New York has proved their might.
In the eyes of the Americans, since China has begun to retreat, if it comes to mind, it will not kill a horse pistol, and there are at least 300 warships concentrated in the entire vicinity of New York, as well as a large number of torpedo boats and the like, these things, if they are more to a certain extent, are a huge threat to warships. Because of this, the four capital ships did not have much escort, only three light ships, and they were in such a hurry that they were rushing to New York, and according to the information provided by the reconnaissance plane, there were no warships in their vicinity for at least 30 nautical miles.
It is indeed a huge opportunity, 30 nautical miles does not seem to be a long time, for a destroyer, a destroyer with more than 35 knots, it will take at least an hour to get close to this area, plus the target is big enough, the results are enough, if they are let go, I am afraid that even the captain of the submarine will feel a pity, this is the best target, and it is also the best target that can be found at present.
