"Captain, the helicopter is back." Statham came out of the command center and said, "We did find the channel, but we didn't find the Yanhuang people." Martinez sent the helicopter out with the main purpose not to find the channel, but to find the enemy.
The disappearance of the Yanhuang people made Martinez immediately vigilant. According to Rael's theory, the Yanhuang submarine should be hiding in the channel or lurking at the exit of the channel. But now there are no Yanhuang people in the waterway, so there are three possibilities. The first is that the Yanhuang submarine is hiding at the exit of the waterway; the second is that the Yanhuang people have detected their arrival and are already hiding in the ocean waiting for an opportunity to attack; the third is that the Yanhuang people are still hiding in the waterway, It's just sitting on the bottom of the sea or lurking in the currents.
Martinez is more convinced of the second possibility. After all, this place is less than a hundred kilometers away from the first incident, and both active and passive sonar will detect abnormalities on the bottom of the sea. If he is Commander Yanhuang, when he detects that he is attacking the suspect for the second time, he will definitely change the previous dormant state, thus firmly holding the initiative in his own hands.
"I need a chart of this area." Martinez said to the staff around him.
The dense results made Martineston feel dizzy for a while. He didn't expect the sea conditions in this area to be so complicated. It is impossible for me to spend so much time to check each location carefully, so I must use the deletion method to infer the enemy's actions. The deduced results show that the Yanhuang submarine is very close to them.
Martinez ordered Statham to sound the battle alarm without hesitation, but at this moment, Martinez could hear the chaotic noise outside with his own ears. At the same time, on the sonar search display on the guided missile cruiser Konko, a huge red dot and four tiny red torpedoes were shining brightly. Obviously, our side has been attacked.
Hu Jun didn't waste this opportunity to send it to his mouth, he directly ordered the submarine to turn on the active sonar, search and lock the opponent. Simultaneously, four torpedoes were launched directly in a fan shape to attack the formation of the guided-missile cruiser Conco.
The four torpedoes fanned out and brought the call from hell towards the formation of the guided missile cruiser Conco. The torpedoes of the snowstorm known as the "Sea Hand" can reach a speed of 100 meters per second, while the speed of the two is less than three kilometers It only takes about twenty seconds.
Martinez almost rushed to the command position with a stride, and almost without thinking, he ordered the power department to forcibly shut down the engine, and started the spare propeller to increase the reaction force and stop the warship. At the same time, it intercepts incoming torpedoes, and turns on the power steering, so that it is ready to turn on the spot at any time.
And Martinez's wit finally saved the guided missile cruiser Conco. Under his command, the guided missile cruiser twisted its body as hard as it could, barely (ajea) avoiding the two torpedoes coming from the front, The two almost passed by.
The guided missile destroyer USS Duran, located behind the guided missile cruiser USS Conco, was not so lucky. Although Cameron received an early warning from Martinez, his reaction and the equipment on the guided-missile destroyer Duran were not as good as those on the guided-missile cruiser Conco. Coupled with being behind the guided missile cruiser Conco, the line of sight was originally obstructed. It was only Cameron's hesitation at that moment that decided the final result of the guided-missile destroyer Duran.
Of the two torpedoes avoided by the guided missile cruiser Conco, one of them directly hit the middle of the guided missile destroyer USS Duran. The Duran guided missile destroyer with a displacement of only 4,000 tons could not withstand such an attack at all. A large hole was directly torn open in the hull, and the entire hull of the ship was also distorted by the explosion. It seemed that the two ends might be separated at any time.
The Duran has lost the need to save, and the torpedo directly tore a big mouth near the waterline of the warship. Such a heavy damage is tantamount to declaring the end of the warship's life. Cameron, who was standing in the command center, had a trace of despair on his face. This result was something he had never thought of before, and he never thought that he would die before he even fired a single shot. Although he has ordered other people on the warship to choose to evacuate, he himself has no intention of leaving.
The sea water began to erode the entire ship, and those exposed electrical circuits continued to glow, and some places started to burn, but were then extinguished by the sea water. The hull began to tilt and bend, the two ends sank into the water first, and the middle part was lifted high. The surviving crew in the water rushed to the surrounding lifeboats, trying to escape the sea. Cameron was finally forcibly taken away by his own guards. When he left the warship with the helicopter, the Duran was suddenly broken into two halves...
The silence of the guided-missile destroyer Duran did not affect the development of the current situation. Just as Martinez commanded the guided-missile cruiser Conco to escape the attack of the Chaozhou, he directly launched a counterattack. The two anti-submarine missiles flew away from the ship almost at the moment the torpedo slid past the hull, and headed towards it.
The successful evasion of the guided missile cruiser Kangke left the officers and soldiers in the Chaozhou stunned. But while surprised, the movements in their hands did not stop. one mile is ready
Good submarine-launched anti-ship missiles were launched immediately.
"Dive quickly!" Facing the enemy's counterattack, Hu Jun did not show a trace of panic on his face. The Chaozhou dived at an almost alarming speed, and at the same time broke away from the previous attack area.
In terms of position, Martinez made accurate judgments, but he didn't expect that the other party did better than himself. A rapid dive went directly from the water layer of more than ten meters to the deep water layer of nearly 200 meters, which was completely unexpected. What's even more frightening is that Hu Jun did not blindly evade, but moved at high speed on the bottom of the sea, not shying away from being locked by the enemy at all.
Hu Jun's actions made Martinez confused, but after he went hundreds of meters deep into the seabed, he gave himself time to breathe. It was also at this time that I had time to order Cameron's guards to take Cameron back by force, and at the same time report the current battle situation to Rael. When Rael listened to Martinez's report, it was obvious that his face became extremely ugly. This result was unexpected before.
It's not that Rael deliberately made things difficult for Martinez, but that the Allied New Indian Ocean Fleet has suffered a lot of losses recently. Not only was Martinez attacked, but other formations that were outside the formation were also attacked. In just one hour, the Allied New Indian Ocean Fleet had lost two destroyers and three frigates, while the Yanhuang side had no casualties other than their whereabouts being discovered. Although Rael knows that once a submarine is locked by a surface ship, it will be difficult to get rid of it, and it will only be a matter of time before there is a victory, but he is still in a bad mood.
"I will send anti-submarine aircraft to support you, and we must catch the other party." Rael didn't say much to Martinez, so he directly closed the video call. After all, Martinez's position is not the most critical part of the entire fleet.
There was a wry smile on Martinez's face. He knew very well in his heart that even if he got the accurate data of the other party, it would be extremely difficult to catch the other party. At this moment, Cameron was brought into the command center. Maybe he hadn't come out of the loss just now, and there was still a trace of loss and unwillingness in Cameron's eyes. But Martinez has no time to care about Cameron's feelings at this moment. He knows very well that if he loses the Yanhuang submarine, Rael will definitely be furious, and even send himself to a military court.
Inside the Chaozhou, which was cruising fast on the seabed, Hu Jun was thinking about his next move. This fast cruising seems to be providing the enemy with various data of Yanhuang's nuclear submarine of this level, but it is actually confusing the opponent. Yanhuang engineers found in research that it only needs to install a few seemingly inconspicuous things on the submarine to change all the data of the submarine when it is active on the seabed. These things are usually hidden on the hull of the submarine, and they are only opened when they are in use. But if this kind of thing is turned on, the stability and speed of the submarine will be affected, but in comparison, its role is far greater than this consideration. .
