Chapter 811: Tropical Storm

What is a miracle? It's called a miracle! A conventionally powered submarine damaged an Aegis battleship and a Los Angeles-class submarine, and ran away without a trace under the encirclement and interception of American surface ships and anti-submarine aircraft!

After receiving the news, Vice Admiral Norman Bashir, who was the commander-in-chief of the naval operation on the aircraft carrier Indomitable, was immediately excited, and immediately ordered the ships in front to rescue the shipwrecked US Navy submariners.

Lieutenant Commander Locke, a US Navy standing on the bridge, had an ugly face.

"Hey, friend, catch!" The Pakistani missile destroyer here had already approached, and seeing the American GIs standing alone on the deck of the submarine, the Pakistani Navy fighters behaved quite friendly and threw the lifebuoy over.

A Ka-27 helicopter carrying the tail has also taken off and hovered on the deck of the submarine, trying to rescue the American GIs here.

"We will not accept Pakistan's rescue." "We await the arrival of our ships," Locke said. ”

Damn, the two sides are at war right now! Although there is no declaration of war, the hostility is already quite obvious, at this time, where is the rescue by the other party, it is simply captured by the other party!

This is too angry, and you must not agree.

Several other Pakistani warships also surrounded the wrecked nuclear submarine, and it was obvious that Pakistan's intention was to capture all the submariners on it, so that it would be convenient for them to seize the initiative in the progress of subsequent incidents.

"Hey, friend, in two hours, there's going to be a tropical storm! If you don't move quickly, the storm will be together, and you will all have to go to another world! "I saw that the submariners here didn't move. Pakistan's naval fighters immediately came up with another solution.

Under water, the waves on the surface of the sea are never felt, and now, submarines have surfaced, just like ordinary surface ships, especially now. The submarine has lost power and has no ability to act, and once there is a storm on the sea, they really have to go to God.

Now, their radio equipment is broken, they can't communicate with the outside world, and they don't know if the Pakistanis are right.

"No, we're not going to step on your ship!" Captain Locke was very determined.

Thereupon. The two sides confronted each other like this, and several Pakistani warships surrounded the miserable-looking submarine, looking at the submariners above, feeling uneasy at this time.

An E-2 AWACS aircraft, gazing at everything on the sea from the sky, after spotting the American submarine in front, Vice Admiral Norman knew that the battle would break out at any time, so. One AWACS aircraft and four Tomcat fighters took off, ready to respond to the unexpected.

And now. After more than half an hour of confrontation between the two sides, the AWACS aircraft discovered that there was movement on the sea in front of them, and the American warship rushed over!

The American warships must not be allowed to merge with this submarine! After receiving the report of the AWACS aircraft, several small boats were immediately dispersed in the Pakistani naval formation.

These boats. The displacement is not large, less than a thousand tons, but this kind of boat has the speed of an arrow! Because. This dinghy has completely left the water! Between the dinghy and the water, there is a layer of air cushion!

This is Pakistan's new type of ground effect aircraft, and the transport of large ground effect aircraft is different, this small ground effect aircraft, completely used for combat, the top of this aircraft, there are six heavy supersonic anti-ship missile launch tubes, as long as one hits, can hit the enemy's large warship!

These small boats roared with jets on the surface of the sea and headed towards the US Navy formation on the opposite side, which was a deterrent!

Without the escort of aviation, these warships would not be able to launch an effective attack on these small boats, after all, the distance of the warship's anti-sea radar to detect this kind of aircraft flying close to the sea surface will not exceed 20 nautical miles, and the highly maneuverable small boat can launch its own anti-ship missiles at any time!

At the same time, the four Tomcat fighters that catapulted and took off also flew towards the opposite side, and their goal was to entangle this formation and prevent them from coming into contact with the US submarine!

For the first time, Pakistan and the United States naval formations confronted each other, and at this time, the American naval formations were at a disadvantage.

When several high-speed speedboats flew in, the US Navy officers and sailors were surprised, they had never seen anything like this!

The other party ran so fast that it was simply flying over! There is no problem with flying, this speedboat does not come into contact with the seawater! Moreover, that kind of appearance is somewhat similar to an airplane. And on it, the six huge anti-ship missile launchers shocked every Navy soldier again.

A supersonic anti-ship missile jointly developed by Pakistan and Huaxia is hugely powerful and reliable, and the technology comes from the Soviet-era SS-N-22 Sunburn anti-ship missile. Just one can make a 10,000-ton warship incapacitated.

And now, the other side is here to demonstrate!

The speeding ground-effect aircraft sailed around the US Navy formation, wandering between the US Navy formations, and the US Navy hated it so much that its teeth itched, but it could not do anything to counter it.

With anti-ship missiles? The speed of the opposing side is too fast, and the seeker of the anti-ship missile simply cannot effectively capture such a fast surface ship. With anti-aircraft missiles? The power of anti-aircraft missiles is limited, and it may be difficult to sink the opponent, and once they fire at the Pakistanis, they will face a counterattack from the Pakistanis.

Do Pakistanis dare to open fire? Surely dare, by now the Pakistanis have damaged one of their own destroyers and damaged an attack nuclear submarine!

Moreover, at this time, the sky is also Pakistani, and four Tomcat fighters are flying at high speed from the sea, and you can see huge anti-ship missiles hanging at the lower ends of the wings, all of which are demonstrating to the Americans.

And the US Navy, at this time, the main force is still on the road to retreat in the Persian Gulf, and now these ships are not enough for Pakistan's twin aircraft carrier formation.

Just after the Tomcat fighters flew, those anti-submarine P-3Cs retreated very self-consciously, and with Pakistan's naval aviation, they simply could not continue to carry out anti-submarine missions. Moreover, with the arrival of the main force of the Pakistan Navy, the main task of the US Navy is no longer to track the submarine, but how to fight the main force of the Pakistan Navy.

A standoff has already begun on the periphery, the Pakistani Navy has completely gained the upper hand, and the encircled Los Angeles-class submarines are at a difficult juncture.

The perimeter is full of Pakistani warships, and the officers and men on this Los Angeles-class submarine have no way out, but the honor of the servicemen makes them unable to accept the fact that they were captured by Pakistan.

"Hey, there's still twenty minutes to go, the storm is coming, are you really going to die in the belly of the fish?" Pakistani officers and men shouted to the American submariners.

"No, we can't be fooled!" Captain Locke said, "If we stay on the submarine, they can't do anything about us." ”

At sea, a ship is equivalent to the territory of a country, and stepping on the other party's ship without permission is equivalent to illegal invasion. When the two sides have not yet declared war, it is clear that the Pakistanis will not do so.

Time passed little by little, and after more than ten minutes, the sky in the distance suddenly became dark.

"Storm! That's a tropical storm! Among the submariners, an experienced sailor shouted as he desperately jumped into the water, grabbed a lifebuoy, and swam towards the Pakistani warship next to him.

"If you run away without permission, you will be shot!" Captain Locke draws his pistol and does not obey his orders, it is treason!

However, he did not shoot, and he also saw dark clouds in the distance, which were the precursors of the coming storm.

Like dumplings, the submariners kept jumping off the submarine and swam towards the warship next to them, when the real danger came, after all, there were only a few who could not be afraid of danger, especially now, this submarine with two torpedoes, it was obvious that it was impossible to withstand another bad weather attack, if you don't escape at this time, when the storm comes, the submarine will definitely sink.

The water was full of people, and the sailors of the Pakistani warships threw down the ropes and pulled the drenched Americans up.

Captain Locke's face turned pale, I didn't expect that even God was helping Pakistan! I thought the Pakistanis were lying, but now it seems that a tropical storm is about to start.

"Captain, come here!" The American sailors who climbed onto the warship shouted at Captain Locke on this side. And Captain Locke, as if he hadn't heard, didn't say a word.

"Whew, whew." The sea breeze became stronger, the flags were blowing, the hunting was rattling, and a storm was just around the corner.

"Quick, grab the rope!" A Pakistani Navy Sea Hawk carrier-based helicopter flew over, lowered the rope and was hoisted as long as it grabbed the rope on it and fastened the harness to the body.

The Pakistani officers and soldiers above were also shouting loudly for Captain Locke to grab the rope, and Captain Locke shook his head.

Nuclear submarines worth hundreds of millions of dollars just disappeared in their own hands, and they are the main ones in charge, and they can't escape responsibility! And now, this nuclear submarine is about to be completely buried at the bottom of the sea in bad weather, and it is better to sleep at the bottom of the sea than to go back to the military trial!

Locke closed his eyes, as the captain, he had a deep affection for the submarine, and he would not accept the humiliation of being rescued by hostile forces.

At sea, the battle can be fierce, and both sides will not stop until the other party's warship is sunk, but after the sunk, the opposing naval personnel will be rescued, which is a common practice in naval warfare.

Captain Locke refused this handout, which was a humiliation. (To be continued.) )
