Chapter 1267: Diving Hunting

"Damn! How can the Chinese attack civilians? Fight back, we're going to fight back! We want to accuse the world of the atrocious crimes of the Chinese! "Inside the president's office in the White House, Theodore. President Roosevelt was roaring wildly. His face, which already looked a little old, was full of angry cháo red. After receiving telegrams from the following states, Theodore. President Roosevelt was already outraged by the atrocities of the Chinese Navy!

U.S. Secretary of War Eli Hugh. Root and Admiralty Secretary Meyer stood Theodore with their heads bowed. In front of President Roosevelt, there was silence. The large-scale attack of the squadron has begun, and the US Army simply cannot resist the attack of the squadron. Minister Root is in a hurry.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the US Army is rapidly in a rout, and once the Chinese advance to Washington, or occupy the entire territory of the United States, the United States will be defeated! On the naval side, the Chinese Navy bombed Miami to rubble on the morning of January 14, killing or wounding at least 50,000 Americans in the shelling! In the afternoon, the Chinese Navy destroyed Daytola Beach. January 15 rì Charleston was blown into ruins. Now, the Chinese Navy continues to advance towards the Undertaken. It is not known how many American cities will be destroyed by the Chinese Navy along the way!

"Your Excellency, the Army simply does not have the ability to fight back now. The attack of the Chinese army and air force was very fierce, and our army could not resist it at all. Leonard. General Wood, with all his strength, could not hold back the Chinese. "Minister of War Elihu. Rutte said with some frustration. The morale of the US Army is weakened, and a large number of deserters are deserted every day to be shelled by Chinese or bombed by aircraft, and those US Army soldiers immediately throw away their weapons and flee, which cannot be used at all. In such a situation, it is not easy to resist the attack of the squadron! At least Minister of War Elihu. Root has completely lost confidence!

"What about the Navy? Minister Meyer, I don't care what method you use, I must make those damned Chinese pay for their cruelty! "Theodore. President Roosevelt stared at Secretary of the Navy Meyer as if he wanted to eat people!

"Yes, Your Excellency the President, I will find a way, we will definitely not let those Chinese have a good time!" Minister Meyer replied. In his opinion, this was undoubtedly the last madness before the demise of the United States. When the war is fought, the United States has no hope left. Didn't you see that the guys from the mínzhǔ party haven't been coming to the White House lately? They're probably thinking about how to deal with the current crisis.

After returning to the Admiralty, Secretary Meyer summoned Rear Admiral Balcy, the current commander of the U.S. Navy's East Coast Fleet. He was the new commander of the East Coast Fleet after the defeat suffered by the main force of the U.S. Navy in the Battle of the Bahamas. It's just that there are only a few Philadelphia-class, heavy cruisers left in the East Coast Fleet, and the remaining Omaha-class, light cruisers and destroyers are simply unable to deal with the confrontation with the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet. In addition, the East Coast Fleet has dozens of submarines, but these submarines are not very good, and most of them can only operate in the near sea. In addition, because the noise is too loud and the diving depth is relatively low, it is easy to be exposed!

Secretary Meyer directly ordered Rear Admiral Balcy, commander of the East Coast Fleet of the US Navy, to launch a counterattack against the Chinese Navy. Major General Balsi believes that this is completely impossible. But Minister Meyer directly put Theodore. President Roosevelt moved out. There was no way, Rear Admiral Balcy had no choice but to take the order and began to plan a counterattack against the Chinese Navy!

After staying up all night with the staff officers of the US Navy's East Coast Fleet Command, they reluctantly came up with a counterattack plan. The East Coast Fleet intends to assemble 30 destroyers and 30 submarines to launch an attack on the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet. Torpedoes were used to inflict heavy damage on the expeditionary fleet of the Chinese Navy. And, in order to increase the chances of the success of the operation, they deliberately set the time of the counterattack this time at night!

Rear Admiral Balcy was very satisfied with the plan and immediately reported it to the Secretary of the Navy, Meyer. Minister Meyer is also very satisfied with this counterattack plan! The only weapon of the US Navy that can pose a threat to the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet is probably torpedoes. Fast destroyers and submarines are undoubtedly the best targets to attack, and it is extremely feasible to launch an attack on the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet at night. As long as the destroyers and torpedoes break through the Chinese lines and launch lightning strikes against the gathered Chinese fleet, some results will definitely be achieved!

Secretary Meyer immediately ordered the East Coast Fleet to start preparations immediately, and it was necessary to teach the Chinese Naval Expeditionary Fleet a lesson, let them know that although the main force of the US Navy has been wiped out, the United States is not allowed to be bullied by the Chinese Navy!

The Chinese navy continued its voyage north after bombing Charleston to rubble, expecting to reach Peake Bay in two days. There, there are large cities such as Virginia Beach, the Hampton Shipbuilding Base, and Norfolk Naval Base, the largest naval base in the U.S. Navy. Probably the most coveted by the Chinese Navy are the six New Mexico-class battleships of the U.S. Navy that are still under construction. None of these battleships have yet to be launched, and if these battleships can be captured and built again, then the strength of the Chinese Navy will be able to rise to a higher level. It's just that it seems that there is no need for the Chinese Navy to have so many battleships anymore! Too many battleships, too, a nuisance!

On the afternoon of January 16, the Chinese Navy's expeditionary fleet shelled the city of Morehead, bombing the beautiful seaside town into ruins. At the current speed of the fleet, it is expected that the fleet will be able to reach the Chesapeake Bay tomorrow afternoon! In order to prevent a possible counterattack by the US Navy, the Chinese Navy pays special attention to defense when sailing at night. The fleet's Lop Nur class, with frigates distributed around the fleet, forming a tight anti-submarine net. Although the U.S. Navy's submarines can be more rubbish, they can't ignore it! If you get a loophole, you're going to lose a lot. Seeing that the United States is about to be destroyed, any unnecessary losses are very painful!

In the early hours of the 17 rì morning, the Chinese Navy entered Pamlico Bay. A huge fleet of hundreds of warships stretched for more than ten kilometers. At the head of the fleet are three 'Lop Nur-class, frigates, and the three frigates are advancing in a zigzag pattern, and their speed is only 8 knots. The sonar crew on the frigate is listening intently to the sounds below the surface to tell if there is a submarine attacking! Behind these three frigates are 6 'Fuqing-class, destroyers. Once the Lop Nur-class frigates in front of them have spotted the enemy's submarines, these destroyers will rush to cooperate with the frigates to destroy the enemy's submarines! The other 21 'Lop Nur-class, frigates were also divided into 7 detachments, guarding around the fleet.

At two o'clock in the morning, on the frigate Qinghai Lake, sonar soldiers were confidently listening to the underwater sounds to determine if there were any enemy submarines hiding underwater. With the noise of American submarines, even if they are more than ten kilometers away, the Chinese Navy's Lop Nur-class frigates can find them. The submarine force of the West Coast Fleet of the US Navy was completely lost under the encirclement and suppression of the Chinese Navy's Lop Nur class and frigates! The Chinese Navy's Lop Nur class, although the frigate is only equipped with a simple sonar, it can be regarded as having passed the battlefield test!

Sonar first uses a sound source (sonar's transducer) to emit sound waves, and the sound waves shine on objects in the water (fish, submarines, etc.) and then come back, and the strength of the anti-shè signals of different objects can be used to distinguish whether the object is a torpedo or a submarine. Because of the sonar ability, it is not uncommon for passing whales to be killed by depth charges as submarines. However, even so, it effectively protects the safety of the fleet!

Sonar soldier Xiao Li is an 18-year-old young man who was selected as a sonar soldier because of his good hearing. When he was in the Eastern Pacific, he had spotted U.S. Navy submarines twice, and he was an experienced veteran!

At 2:05, Xiao Li heard a special echo, which seemed to be a sound wave hitting a hard object!

"Sir, you can find a target!" Xiao Li immediately reported!

"What's going on? Is it a whale, a shipwreck or a submarine? One of the second lieutenant officers in charge of the sonar unit asked!

"I don't know, but based on my experience, I guess it's a submarine!" Xiao Li said!

"Okay, you keep watching, I'll report to the captain!" Said the second lieutenant officer!

Soon, the 'Qinghai Lake, the frigate sounded the jǐng report of the discovery of the submarine. 'Qinghai Lake, the frigate accelerated towards the target, and at the same time the two 'Fuqing-class, destroyers also followed

'Qinghai Lake, the frigate pursued!

"Depth charges, hair shè!" After reaching the sky above the target, the captain of the frigate immediately gave the order! Several depth charges were fired from the frigate 'Qinghai Lake

Seconds later, a dull explosion erupted from beneath the surface of the sea, and huge columns of water rushed out of the sea.

Qinghai Lake, the ship began to circle around this sea area, the huge searchlight illuminated the sea surface was transparent, and the sonar soldiers were also trying their best to detect the underwater movement!

Soon, clumps of black oil emerged from under the water and floated on the surface of the sea. At the same time, there are also a few rags of black sè! It is clear that the discovered submarine has been taken out by depth charges!

"Damn! Sure enough, there were submarines of the Americans, and immediately reported to the flagship, so that everyone should pay attention to anti-submarine! "'Qinghai Lake, the captain of the ship ordered!
