Chapter 218: Astute-class submarines

The rest of Baltimore's remaining police force surrendered, and Towadell and Chen Zhong led the soldiers to open the mountain of food warehouses and distribute the food to the survivors who were dying of starvation, and Dr. Rachel took over the entire laboratory under the protection of the battleship's crew and began to manufacture vaccines in large quantities.

The surrounding survivors gradually heard about Baltimore, and they came here one after another, and soon Chandler and the others also felt the great pressure, and after gathering everyone to study, they finally decided to attack the military bases and various factories occupied by zombies along the east coast.

After Captain Chandler returned with his family, Chen Chong handed over these chores to him and Towadell, and he took the four rookie evolutionaries to join the team to eliminate zombies, and their teams of five people could get evolution points from zombies, with Chen Chong's current status, guns and vehicles were not a problem, so several people were very interested in this kind of scoring thing.

Now that the human side has a vaccine and unified command, it has begun to work hard to eradicate zombies, as more and more survivors gather, these survivors have survived in the zombie world for several years, and they all have a good ability, even the worst people can use firearms proficiently, with the continuous attack of humans, they soon recovered most of Maryland and Delaware, and are preparing to advance to New Jersey.

When everything was ready, Warren led the landing force and Chandler's warship to New Jersey in parallel, destroying many zombies along the way, and when night fell and everyone was ready to rest, the radar monitor urgently reported to Chandler that a submarine had been discovered.

When Captain Chandler and the first mate arrived at the bridge, they found that the submarine had been lost on the radar.

Chen Zhong, who came to the bridge, asked, "Why should we be afraid of submarines?" ”

Captain Chandler said slowly: "Our destroyers don't have much to do with submarines, and if this submarine is carrying torpedoes, we are dangerous." ”

Just as everyone was considering whether the submarine was friend or foe, the crew in charge of the sonar reported: "Sir, the sonar has detected an object, its position, its sound appears at the edge of the convergence zone, but a faint murmur can be heard every few minutes. ”

"Can you find out where it's moving?"

"Between, sir, but I'm not sure if it's a submarine or not, it's pretty quiet."

The first mate looked at the sonar reference record and said: "The one that can be quiet to this extent should be a submarine, and it is also a submarine that is very good at camouflage, I estimate that it can reach this level of agility class submarine." ”

Chandler touched his chin and said: "If it is equipped with a new generation of noise reduction system, then it may be the Ajax or Achilles submarine, but Achilles has not yet been officially equipped with various countries, that is, the Ajax submarine." ”

"I can hear the submarine leaning against the seabed, which means it's shallow, about 120 meters," the sonar sounder said. ”

The first mate came to the navigator and said: "Immediately search the nearby sea area and check it along the direction, a shallow sea area with a depth of no more than 120 meters." ”

Chen Zhong and the others didn't understand the things in these ships at all, so they could only stay quietly and wait.

After thinking about it for a few minutes, Captain Chandler ordered: "Turn twenty degrees to the right, I will see if the enemy has noticed us, and the sonar officer will listen attentively to the movement of the submarine." ”

The sergeant major commanded, "Turn right twenty degrees." ”

The Nathan began to turn, and everyone in the bridge held their breath as they watched the sonarman's listening results, and just when Chen Zhong felt that time had stopped, the sonar man reported: "The enemy submarine is also following us, and they want to intercept us." ”

The sonarman's words caused everyone to be nervous, and the first mate said urgently: "If the enemy is an Astute-class submarine, they will definitely carry 'Sailfish' torpedoes, and we are now within their range." ”

Chen Zhong quietly asked the sergeant major, "What's the situation now?" ”

The black and thin sergeant major's expression was very serious, "The attack range of the Astute-class submarine is farther than that of our destroyers, we are within their range, but we can't hit the opponent's submarine." ”

"Uh." Chen Zhong was depressed, he originally thought that it would be safe to take a destroyer, but it turned out that he might as well go to New Jersey by land with Warren, this kind of feeling that others can beat you, but you can't hit the other party is really depressing.

Chen Zhong asked very puzzledly, "Since we have already entered the range of the other party, why didn't they attack?" ”

Captain Chandler heard Chen Zhong's question, and he replied in a low tone: "We just entered the enemy's extreme range, and they didn't release the torpedo because they wanted to get closer, so that they could hit us more accurately." ”

The first mate asked, "Are we going to engage them?" ”

Chandler thought for a moment and said, "The whole ship is in the second stage of silent sailing, turn to the beach to the southeast, and keep sailing at the lowest speed, so that we may get rid of them, and if they continue to pursue us, we can send a helicopter to drop a few torpedoes in the air on them in the shallows." ”

The first mate said worriedly: "If the other party finds us, we are almost unable to avoid it at a speed of less than four knots, I think we should fire first and grasp the fighter in the melee." ”

"We need to survive several rounds of attacks by enemy submarines before we can fight back, it's too risky to do so, let's go according to my plan, I need you to trust me."

The battleship began to sail at the slowest speed according to Captain Chandler's order, and the whole ship was silent. The James sailed silently to the southeast.

Dozens of minutes later, an alarm sounded from the sonar detection area, and the sonar officer exclaimed: "The local submarine has turned on the active sonar!" They are locating our location. ”

Captain Chandler picked up the communication phone and ordered: "I am the captain, turn to the third flank at full speed to dodge, activate the noise reduction system, combat officer, immediately fire three torpedoes, prepare for the second torpedo attack." ”

"Captain, the enemy is now speeding up to chase us, and they also fired two torpedoes, no, three, four, a total of four torpedoes."

Receiving the sonarman's report, Chandler commanded: "The whole ship is ready to meet the torpedoes, circle back into the wake, and turn the ship to 225." ”

When the destroyer made a sharp turn, everyone grabbed the solid things around them and prepared for the collision of the torpedo and the battleship, and the sonar crew constantly reported the distance at which the opposing submarine fired the torpedo.

"Four hundred and fifty meters from us... Three hundred meters from us... A hundred meters from us..."
