Chapter 179: Nick. Fury's gamble
The pilot of the P-3C anti-submarine patrol aircraft was taken aback by this scene in front of him. The huge splash on the surface of the sea allowed them to see only one scale and half a claw, but only Godzilla could tear the Soryu-class submarine with a full load displacement of 3,300 tons like a toy.
"Turn on the Tactical Universal Data Link Switch (TCDL) and send the captured footage to the fleets behind."
"Don't you need to inform Mi Animal?"
"Yaga, do you think they won't monitor our datalink? Have you forgotten that the TCDL was bought by the old men of the Self-Defense Forces from rice animals? ”
Lieutenant Tamura, who was sitting in the driver's seat, vented the pressure in his heart to his subordinates. He pressed the navigation correction button and set a new course.
"Can anti-submarine torpedoes be fired?"
"It can be launched at any time, but I'm afraid I'll hit the Ruilong by mistake."
Sato, who sat behind him, was the sonar and weapons operator.
"Yaga! Do you think there will be living people on that submarine? ”
The advanced optoelectronic system of the P-3C anti-submarine patrol aircraft can clearly photograph the current situation of the Relong. The pressure-resistant shell, which can withstand water depths of hundreds of meters, is seriously deformed, and the entire streamlined submarine has been twisted into twists.
"Hey!"
"Turn on the radar altitude hold mode and get ready to fire!"
In order to be able to fight Godzilla, they were equipped with torpedoes that were all changed from MK-46 light torpedoes to more powerful MK-50 torpedoes. The MK-50 is faster and deeper, and was originally designed to deal with the fast-moving double-hulled A-class attack nuclear submarines of the former Soviet Union. Equipped with a hollow-charge warhead, the armor-piercing capabilities were much stronger than those of the MK-46 and MK-54.
It's just that everyone didn't dare to pack a ticket, and the MK-50 was able to pierce Godzilla's scales.
"Choose the high-speed passive guidance mode, the opening range of the autopilot is a minimum of 300 yards, the depth of sailing is 65 feet, and the horizontal search style is a right ring."
Lieutenant Tamura, although depressed, had a lot of anti-submarine experience. The Godzilla in front of him, who was attacking the submarine, was a fixed target, and there was almost no possibility of missing.
Soon, the first MK-50 fell into the water with a parachute. After throwing off the parachute, the 160-horsepower dual-circuit closed-cycle turbine engine inside the torpedo began to work, driving the torpedo to dive to a predetermined depth, and after leveling, it began to search in a right ring.
The sound of Godzilla tearing at the submarine was easily discernible in the water, and the sharp metal twisting and breaking sound almost deafened the sonarman's ears.
The torpedo drew a white line in the water and headed straight for the target.
Because if there is not enough time interval between salvo torpedoes, the torpedoes will interfere with each other. Tanaka silently counted for fifteen seconds before dropping the second torpedo. He fired all the torpedoes mounted on the fuselage as fast as he could.
"Boom!"
The first torpedo hit the target, and the blue seabed first lit up with a bright light, and then the jade-like sea water rose from the sea.
A few seconds later, the second torpedo was also hit.
A series of huge roars sounded on the surface of the sea, setting off waves of whales.
"Did we kill Godzilla?"
Sato said with some excitement.
"I don't know, but Kato is definitely dead."
Lieutenant Tamura told a rare joke that was not funny.
It took a long time for the turbulent sea to calm down. The Relong had become a pile of debris floating on the surface of the sea, floating and sinking in the midst of a large amount of oil.
Godzilla was not found, and it seemed to have disappeared from the sea completely.
"Throw an SSQ-62DICASS active sonar buoy."
Tamura made a judgment that he wanted to find Godzilla in the sea.
Soon, an active sonar buoy was thrown into the water. As soon as I fell asleep, I let out a "bang! "Bang!" sound, followed by the radiation of sound waves to determine the location of the target.
Not long after the sonar buoy was dropped. Sato's face was contorted with fear.
"Climb! Climb up! It! It's just below us! It's going to rush up! ”
Tamura was so shocked that he felt all his internal organs being dragged out of his body, and he pulled the joystick sharply, trying to make the patrol plane climb up.
"Boom!"
The calm sea below suddenly exploded, and Godzilla's massive body rushed straight out. It had just dived to a depth of several hundred meters, and then accelerated up from the bottom of the sea.
The huge body soared directly into the air and glided into the air.
It opened its mouth wide and took a bite of the desperately fleeing P-3C, chewing a few bites before swallowing it.
In the command module of the DDG-17 Atago, located dozens of nautical miles away, several senior officers watched in silence as the footage transmitted back from the data link was transmitted. From beginning to end, they watched how the patrol plane discovered Godzilla and how it was devoured. Even Tamura's yin and yang weirdness can be heard clearly.
Now the command cabin is solemn as if it is about to drip.
"Adjust the course immediately... We can't play against such monsters. ”
The captain gave the order, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon the telephone bell in the command cabin rang, and not long after the captain picked it up, his face turned iron-blue, as if he had seen his parents' obituary.
He smiled and hung up the phone, and then he scolded angrily.
"Yaga! It's Nick. Fury's rice animal! He wants us to track Godzilla who just appeared! ”
There was an uproar in the command cabin, and all the officers were furious, what was the difference between this order and sending them to their deaths.
It didn't take long for the phone to ring again, and the captain seemed to be more than ten years old after answering it again.
"It's the Secretary of Defense, and he's putting us under command from the Americans for the time being."
There was silence in the command module. It didn't take long for the Atago to begin to pick up speed and head in the direction of the patrol plane's crash.
The massive Titans in Tony. Stark worked overtime to complete the modification. Suspended by four engines, it was dispatched urgently and flew towards the target sea area.
The Titan's massive body sent a hurricane directly across the sea. The fixed steel cable cuts through the air, making a terrible wind sound.
Nick. Fury did not choose to command on the aircraft carrier this time, but sat on a Kun fighter jet, right above the Titan. The sea outside the porthole is as rough as the mood. He stood in the engine room and watched the destroyers speeding up, cleaving the waves and dragging white tracks on the sea.
On the electronic map, a series symbolizing patrol planes, and the triangular light spots of bombers are moving rapidly, like schools of fish that have found their targets. Fly towards the sea. Swarms of patrol aircraft, bombers and destroyers formed a huge encirclement in which Godzilla, who suddenly appeared, was encircled.
In the face of the next battle, he has gambled almost everything, and even used the intelligence he overheard before to coerce the Japanese side to be cannon fodder.
He can't afford to lose, and he can't lose.
