The communications staff officer immediately handed over the tablet computer in his hand. The computer screen was displaying a satellite image of outside Sidan Port, with more than twenty light spots representing enemy forces flashing continuously on the image.
Liu Huaidong pointed his finger and canceled the target indication. The picture on the screen turned into an original satellite image. If you look carefully, you will see that there is a blurry shadow under each disappearing light point.
Liu Huaidong suddenly raised his head: "Combat alert, order all units to prepare for battle; order the fleet to conduct full anti-submarine warfare... Is the Army Aviation back?"
"not yet."
"Order Army Aviation to return as quickly as possible, order ground crew to prepare anti-submarine equipment; request Qionghe for assistance!"
"Yes!" The communications staff officer immediately passed on the order, and the shrill alarm sounded again through the sky.
The navy warships docked at the dock reacted the fastest. As soon as they received the order, a destroyer launched anti-submarine rockets into the distant sea. With a roaring sound in the air, all twelve anti-submarine rockets flew towards the predetermined area.
The reaction speed of other warships was not slow, and they launched anti-submarine rockets at their respective targets. However, within a few seconds, the rockets had already fallen into the water and quickly sank underwater.
Each ship fired up its anti-submarine rockets and immediately reloaded them as quickly as possible. Before the reloading was completed, the depth bombs that entered the water had already exploded in the water, and water columns shot up from the water one after another.
Not to mention, the warships that were docked at the dock started their engines and sailed away from the dock along a safe route.
The draft of several frigates is relatively shallow, and the location of the mines is relatively deep. The bottom of the ship cannot touch the mines at all. They simply don't care about the navigation route. They drive directly over the mines and rush to the vicinity of the alien submarine at the highest combat speed.
, immediately activated the depth bomb launcher on the ship, and the depth bombs were thrown into the sky one after another, and fell into the water in an arc.
Soon after, depth bombs exploded one after another at different depths, and columns of water followed the battleship, as if something in the water was following the battleship.
Depth bombs are not an advanced weapon. They must be thrown by warships. Their accuracy, power and range are not very good. Once depth bombs are used, it means that the enemy submarine has approached the fleet.
Take anti-submarine rockets as an example. The maximum range of this thing is only about ten kilometers, while the most advanced torpedoes have a range of up to 140 kilometers!
The target of the depth bomb is the submarine, but the depth bomb with rockets has a short arm and cannot reach the submarine at all. On the other hand, the submarine can launch torpedoes at enemy ships from dozens or even hundreds of kilometers away.
In other words, the role of depth bombs in anti-submarine warfare is very limited. As of before the war, the main function of depth bombs was no longer anti-submarine warfare, but to intercept underwater torpedoes!
As the role of depth bombs became increasingly useless, some countries had eliminated this weapon before the war and relied on anti-submarine aircraft and anti-submarine torpedoes to deal with enemy submarines.
There are many shortcomings of depth bombs, but the biggest advantage of this thing is that it is cheap. At present, space fleets are the key development direction of various countries. The navy's funds have been repeatedly reduced, and it has to reuse this old but economical weapon.
If not, it would be impossible for these warships to have so many depth charges.
Of course, there are not only anti-submarine weapons such as depth bombs on the warships, but also certain mathematical anti-submarine missiles. The vertical launch systems on those frigates have never been idle. The missiles were launched vertically into the air and turned around in the air.
After that, he plunged into the water again and released anti-submarine torpedoes.
The frigate's offensive regardless of cost should have achieved some results, but even if the alien submarine was hit by depth bombs and torpedoes, it would not surface. No one knows what kind of results it has achieved.
The two destroyers were only one step slower than the frigates, but the destroyers were larger and equipped with more weapons. After arriving at the sea area where the incident occurred, depth bombs and anti-submarine missiles were thrown around as if they were free.
Although the fight ahead may look fun, anyone with a discerning eye knows that warships are not the main force in anti-submarine warfare. The real trump card is the anti-submarine helicopters that have just taken off from the aircraft carrier.
To put it bluntly, the battleship's actions were just to buy time for the anti-submarine helicopters, rather than counting on how many enemy ships were destroyed by the depth bombs.
Several helicopters quickly flew over the alien submarine and released sonar in an orderly manner. After determining the location of the enemy ship, the helicopters released anti-submarine torpedoes into the water.
It's a pity that the alien submarines are too scattered and it is not worth bombing them with nuclear bombs, otherwise Liu Huaidong would have bombed them with nuclear bombs.
Probably because the anti-submarine weapons taking turns put the alien submarine under pressure, several shadows under the water suddenly began to float up. You can see on the satellite image that these shadows are getting clearer and clearer.
The command headquarters immediately issued a warning. At the same time, the warships ahead also discovered this abnormal sign and immediately launched anti-submarine rockets at these locations. By coincidence, the anti-submarine rockets on several warships had just been loaded!
The depth bombs that fell into the water exploded one after another, but the shadow under the water was fine and continued to float slowly on its own.
When Liu Huaidong saw this scene, his pupils couldn't help but shrink. Just as he was about to issue an order, one of the shadows had already surfaced, but only a small corner came out of the water. From the satellite image, we couldn't see how big the corner was. We could only determine how big the corner was.
The main body of this enemy ship is still hidden underwater.
But the scene was different. The officers and soldiers on the battleship and helicopter discovered that the east-west radius was only three to five meters, like a breathing tube sticking out of the water.
No one knows what the purpose of this thing is, but everyone knows that there must be some kind of danger hidden in this thing.
Several warships immediately turned their guns and fired wildly at the breathing tube.
Most of the shells landed on the water near the breathing tube, and only a few hit the target. However, after the smoke of the explosion dissipated, no other effects could be seen except for circles of rippling ripples.
Everyone couldn't help but be secretly surprised that the alien submarine was so strong? If so, wouldn't all the depth bombs thrown before have been in vain?
At this time, several other influences under the water also surfaced. Five or six horns just broke through the water, and then the tops of those horns suddenly opened, revealing a dark hole.
Before anyone could react, a group of servants flew out with wings waving.
Everyone suddenly realized, what the hell is this horn? It is clearly a passage for aliens to release their servants!
If you didn’t say anything, hit me!
Several anti-submarine helicopters immediately pulled up, but the servants were much more flexible than the helicopters. They quickly caught up with them and swept them randomly with a ray of light. The fragile helicopters disintegrated on the spot and fell into the sea piece by piece.
The crew of the helicopter, without exception, all died on the spot, and their blood stained the sea red.
