Chapter 2009 The sea monster attacked and suffered heavy losses
The sound of bombardment fire sounded, and the weapon of modern warfare had already shown its fangs.
It was as if the Stark government could conquer hell with its aircraft cannons and nuclear bombs. Under the powerful power of modern weapons, the so-called gods, demons and monsters are not as terrible as imagined. Unless they are those characters that touch the ceiling, ordinary guys can completely destroy them with artillery fire.
And if you can't defeat such an opponent, then you can only say that your caliber is not big enough and your artillery fire is not enough.
Although this large octopus, which looks like a Norwegian sea monster, is huge in size hundreds of meters and can play with ships like submarines as toys at will, it is just a physical body.
There is neither an immortal body that can constantly regenerate, nor an indestructible body that can withstand all physical damage. In this way, it will only have one end when dealing with saturated artillery fire strikes, that is, death.
It can be said that there was not even a symbolic resistance. Amid the huge explosion, the body of the big octopus was broken into pieces. Countless flesh and blood flew across the sea, almost dyeing the entire sea red. Looking at the ending that even a complete limb could not be found, all the officers and soldiers were stunned at first, and then immediately cheered in unison.
It has to be said that since the new century, this is the first time that the Australian Navy has been fighting this kind of war of life and death. For most soldiers who have just exercises from enlistment to retirement, not only can this change them today, but it is enough to add a little more to the core that soldiers should have.
It can be said that they can even use what happened today as a topic of talk about bragging about ordinary people, not just about what trivial things happened when I was in the army.
This is something that many people realize, so after discovering that they have won this kind of victory against the monster, many people started to tease each other with their arms around.
"My God, we actually won. I thought we would all be pulled into the deep sea by this sea monster?"
"Did you see that big eyeball? I personally aimed at it and beat it up. I must tell my wife about it today. See if she dares to laugh at me for being a coward."
"Did you see that fatal bomb? Hell, I dropped it so accurately! I think as a bomber pilot, I can already be recorded in the history of the Navy."
This is the catharsis that the tense nerves have been suddenly relaxed, and it is also a release of the adrenaline that is too surging. It is natural for human nature, nothing is strange. Even the fleet commander who has been stabilizing the formation and controlling the overall situation can't help but breathe a sigh of relief at this time.
In order to maintain his majesty, although he did not act the same as the soldiers outside, his feelings were actually similar in his heart.
Although there were sacrifices, it was inevitable. Compared with the benefits he gained in the current battle, this was undoubtedly an ending where the benefits outweighed the disadvantages. He personally laid the foundation for the Australian South Pacific overlord. Such a achievement, even with his prominent position in the military, could not be indifferent.
It can be said that if he wants to climb up in the next few years, this achievement will become the capital he can rely on. As long as he thinks that he can reach the top of his politics, his heart will be filled with fantasies.
Men are all power creatures. Few people can be indifferent to power. Moreover, it is not just power, but also ideals. The fleet commander himself has such an ideal, that is, he hopes to lead Australia to break free from the previous difficult situation.
It is no longer a Commonwealth country, nor is it a badass of the United States. It is the owner of Australia and the South Pacific. Even further, it is not impossible to take over the banner of the Commonwealth from the hands of the United Kingdom and become the helmsman of the Commonwealth today.
Of course, this is ambition, and it is still a long time to realize it. But the matter is human, and he feels that as long as he can climb up, these things will be just a matter of time.
The entire fleet was full of joy, and everyone was looking forward to the future with an optimistic attitude. At this moment, the sonar systems on all ships issued warnings at the same time.
Although the crew member who had been monitoring the sonar was no exception, he did not forget his job at all. He discovered the reaction on the sonar at the first time, which made him immediately change his face and scream on the radio with his throat.
"I found that there were unknown sonar reactions, and there were huge objects coming towards us, and there were more than ten!"
"What?" Not only the crew members who heard the radio, but even the fleet commander himself was shocked by the news and could not speak.
What is the concept of more than ten monsters? You know, in order to kill the previous big octopus, they have paid the price of four submarines and more than ten patrol ships. And now if he comes to such a dozen similar ones, he really cannot be sure that he will definitely win so easily as before.
Of course, although he was shocked, it did not mean that he had completely given up his plan to resist. In this case, only fighting was the only way out. Knowing this truth, he quickly stabilized his emotions and issued orders to the fleet officers and soldiers again.
"All crew members immediately enter the state of combat. The plane is immediately filled with ammunition and ready to take off again. The torpedo is loaded and the artillery is ready! Whether you can go back alive or not, whether you can make achievements depends on yours this time. It's not for anything else, but for your own lives! Let me do my best."
The situation was severe, and he had to mobilize some wars. His words obviously came to the hearts of every crew member. They obviously didn't want to die in such a ghost place or in the mouths of these monsters.
Therefore, almost everyone can put out 120% of their energy and do their best to do their job. And while they are so busy preparing, the crew members who monitored the sonar are already counting down with a nervous look on their faces.
"We are still two hundred meters away from the nearest target contact, one hundred meters, fifty meters are here!"
With a loud "boom", a huge black shadow rushed out from under the water. The dark streamlined body, huge and exaggerated sharp teeth and big mouth, and the famous sail-shaped dorsal fin, can be seen at a glance. This is the image of the killer shark in the sea.
The only difference from ordinary human cognition is that the shark's hugeness is beyond their imagination. The length of the head and tail is nearly 100 meters, and it seems that it is no less than their frigate.
You should know that although the big octopus looked even more scary, hundreds of meters tall, considering the size of the octopus, most of it was built on tentacles to support the scene, and the moisture inside was definitely not small. But the sharks are different now. Its huge size does not add any moisture. Just a bloody mouth, it can swallow the entire ship when opened. Of course, it may be a bit exaggerated, but it is not false to say that it can swallow half of the bow of the ship in one bite.
This is the case in reality. The giant shark jumped out and opened his bloody mouth and bit on the bow of a frigate. Although the frigate has a steel shell as a protection, for this giant beast, just steel cannot stop the biting of their sharp teeth. It may knock a few teeth off, but for a shark who has to replace three thousand teeth in his lifetime, a few teeth are really not a problem.
With the sound of biting, the head of the frigate was already bitten by a giant shark. A large number of shells were destroyed and the keel was almost torn and broken. No surprise, the ship was over. If it did not escape as soon as possible, then the only one waiting for the crew on the ship would be the fate of sinking into the sea with the ship.
"Let them abandon their ships and escape. Also, all other ships, attack quickly! At this time, there is no time to hesitate for them!"
Even if he didn't say this, the others understood it in their hearts. However, shooting at their comrades on the battlefield is a taboo. Without the permission of the superiors, even if they knew that this was the most correct choice, they were somewhat hesitant. Regardless of the present, with the leader of the fleet commander, their actions were already guaranteed. And in the mood of a dead fellow Taoist who was not dead, all the artillery fire had already covered the past immediately.
The giant shark's huge body is simply impossible to have such a situation as in the movie, where dense artillery fire swept over but only hurt the fur. In fact, with the precise fire control system of modern weapons, even a rocket flying at high speed can be fired down, let alone a living target.
There is no situation where you can't hit it, but as long as you hit it, with the powerful firepower of modern weapons, you can easily tear apart such flesh and blood.
The navy never doubted such facts, because previous examples have proved that their firepower is effective. The problem with such monsters is not in firepower, but in quantity.
On this side, the artillery fire had just hit the giant shark, like a chainsaw saw beef, tearing it to pieces while the flesh and blood flew. On the other side, a new sea monster rushed up from the sea.
The giant whales, ancient species that look like mosaurus, sea snakes, and large lizards that look a little like Godzilla, each bringing a heavy blow to the fleet.
It can be said that in just a moment, the entire fleet was already in a critical state of survival. In order to survive, everyone was almost red in their eyes and began to attack the monsters from the deep sea at all costs.
The sound of explosions, roars, flames and flesh intertwined, spreading over this sea area, dyeing the entire sea with a thrilling bright red. As the current surged, the blood color slowly subsided, the roars and artillery fire from the sea began to gradually stop.
There is no doubt that the Australian naval fleet can survive at this time is still the one who can survive to the end. Although the monsters are powerful, they are not the opponents of modern firepower, especially when they are unable to shake the Canberra and Adelaide, which are more than 200 meters long and weigh more than 20,000 tons, the light aircraft carrier with air supremacy can still be the last one.
Of course, even if the Australian Navy laughed to the end, it was just a tragic laugh. The price they paid was not only a big deal, not only the patrol ships were destroyed, but also the submarine troops. In addition, the frigate who served as the escort work was also damaged, and even the supply ship had sunk.
It can be said that such a battle is equivalent to directly fighting the Australian navy back twenty years ago. Faced with such a result, the fleet commander could not help but curse with a pale face.
He didn't understand why a mere destroyer could escape without losing his power, but when he arrived at his own place, he almost had to put in half a fleet? Although there was a difference in strength, it wouldn't be so big. Moreover, compared to this issue, what he was even more angry about was his country's mistake in asking for a report.
What could be a situation where both sides suffered a loss? Now I just take it as a good idea. Those politicians can say such nonsense by patting their heads, but they never thought that what they said would cause many soldiers to die on their mistakes.
Maybe he was a little bit shirking responsibility, but his idea was still right. The politicians in China had to bear most of the responsibility for what happened today. He had made plans in his mind that if those guys could not give these dead soldiers a good explanation after returning to China, he would use all means to retaliate against them.
The country cannot be left to these short-sighted politicians to take charge, they will only drag the country into the abyss.
He had such an idea in his mind, and while he was still brewing this idea, the voice from his adjutant was already ringing in his ears.
"Sir, the losses have been counted. Today we sank twenty-three ships, and four other ships have lost their combat capabilities and must return to the factory for overhaul. The other five and six ships have suffered injuries of varying circumstances. In addition, there are heavy casualties. So far, the death toll is 623, with more than 800 seriously injured and 1,400 slightly injured. Some people are missing and the commander has not been found yet. What should we do next?"
When he said this, the adjutant couldn't help swallowing his saliva because he had already noticed the seriousness of the problem. With such a huge loss, even a general like the fleet commander would inevitably be held accountable by the military court, let alone a little shrimp like him. What he could count on now was that his boss could have a way to deal with it. Faced with his inner prayer, the fleet commander resolutely made up his mind after hesitating for a moment.
"Notify the country that the port will send ships to take over the wounded and damaged ships. As long as the other crew members and warships are able to move, they will be repaired on the spot. We will set off again in two hours! After paying such a great price, we must achieve results. Otherwise, the only thing waiting for us will be the military court!"
