After receiving the request from the Equator Base, the bridge of the Qionghe was silent, but the battle situation waited for no one. Captain Dou Gaoyang gritted his teeth: "Fire!"
The Qionghe's only electromagnetic gun fired again, and the shells penetrated the atmosphere one after another, turning into streaks of rapidly falling fire.
There is no doubt about the power of the electromagnetic gun, but the battleship is located in space at an altitude of more than 120 kilometers. After the shell leaves the battleship, it takes a full seventeen seconds to hit the target.
This is data that ignores atmospheric resistance. If air resistance is taken into account, the time to hit the target will be even slower.
The resistance of the water is extremely high, and the submarine cannot move any faster underwater. However, nearly half a minute is enough for the enemy ship to move out of more than a dozen positions, so it is not that easy to hit it.
What makes everyone even more depressed is that even if the cannonball hits the target, it may not be destroyed.
It’s still a question of resistance. The Qionghe is not equipped with supercavitating shells. The speed of ordinary shells is super fast. The stronger the resistance they encounter after entering the water, and the faster the speed of the shells, the higher the resistance they encounter. A water depth of ten meters can suffice.
Completely cancel out the power of the cannonball!
Various factors are like ropes, tying up the Qionghe's hands and feet layer by layer. The Qionghe can only prioritize attacking targets close to the water.
Lines of fire fell into the sea and stirred up high water columns. It was not known whether they hit the target or not.
Frigates and destroyers sank one after another, and countless sailors fell into the water and swam desperately to the shore.
The aliens were busy dealing with human warships and had no time to care about the fleeing sailors. Instead, the firepower from space accidentally injured many sailors.
No one wants to accidentally injure one of their own, but this is a life-and-death battlefield, and there is no room for hesitation or mercy.
Compassion does not govern military affairs, and justice does not conduct business. Even if the commanders no longer want to see this scene, they must harden their hearts and turn a blind eye or listen.
There is no runner-up on the battlefield. Many times, you must do whatever it takes to win.
Although the Equator Base resisted with all its strength with the assistance of the Qionghe, the balance of victory still stubbornly favored the aliens. The aircraft carrier Yuzhou, which was one step behind, became the new target of the aliens.
The attack from space made the aliens much more cautious. In order to avoid the electromagnetic bombs, all alien submarines dived quickly.
At this moment, the air on the Yuzhou was almost frozen, and everyone's faces were tense. Captain Yun Bo's face was as dark as water, and he showed no expression at all.
But his mood was not so calm, but as rough as the sea swept by a storm.
The core combat capability of an aircraft carrier is carrier-based aircraft. Without carrier-based aircraft, an aircraft carrier is like an eagle with broken wings and a tiger with all its teeth. Its remaining combat capability is almost negligible.
An aircraft carrier battle group sank several battleships one after another as soon as the war started, and only a few of them could still float on the water. The Yuzhou was almost alone and had to face the powerful aliens alone.
The Yuzhou has fought aliens before, but this is the first time it has been blocked by aliens at the port. If possible, Yunbo will definitely park all the warships on the dock. In that case, the mines deployed outside the port will
It can have some effect, and it will not be directly sunk by enemy ships.
However, Sidan Port is a half-moon-shaped bay. The average water depth in the bay is only 17 to 18 meters. There is a slope outside the bay, and the water depth quickly increases to more than 50 meters.
If an aircraft carrier or other warship is sunk by an enemy ship in the bay, the sunken ship will block the waterway of Sidan Port and directly abolish the navigation capacity of Sidan Port. At that time, only small ships with shallow draft can enter the port. Any
A large ship cannot even berth in the port.
In other words, sinking the aircraft carrier battle group in the bay is equivalent to cutting off the equatorial base and domestic traffic. Domestic ships must berth dozens of kilometers away, and the transfer of materials and personnel will be greatly affected.
.
Therefore, the aircraft carrier battle group cannot stay in the bay under any circumstances. This is not only a tactical need, but also a strategic need.
However, leaving Hong Kong means having to face foreigners, and it means having to go head-to-head with the enemy. Everyone knows the consequences of fighting with aliens, but at this point, there is no better way, or there is no time to give.
Yun Bo tried his best to find a way but had to bite the bullet and give it a try.
Yun Bo knew that his face must be very ugly at this moment. He really wanted to return to the shore, so that he would not have to face the aliens, let alone fight against them.
But his feet were nailed to the deck, and he gritted his teeth to face what was coming.
He is the commander of a ship, and the backbone of all the officers and men on the ship. No matter how confused he is, he cannot show it, otherwise the rest of him will only become more confused. When the time comes, there is no need to hit him. It would be more satisfying to just rub his neck.
Seeing that the Yuzhou was about to sail out of the bay, the sonar soldier suddenly shouted: "Report, the alien submarine is approaching, in the direction of two holes and four, the distance is 1,200 meters, and the speed is very fast!"
Yun Bo's heart tightened and his expression became even worse, but he just stiffened his neck and snorted: "Ignore it!"
There were dense mines inside and outside the bay, and there was a large area of mines between the enemy ship and the Yuzhou.
However, the development of the situation was beyond everyone's expectations. The enemy ship did not dodge and rushed directly into the mine array like a crazy bullfight.
A series of water columns suddenly exploded on the water on the port side of the aircraft carrier. All the water columns were connected in a line. According to the explosion speed of the mines, the enemy ship would collide with Yuzhou soon.
Everyone was stunned by this scene. When did alien submarines become so strong? Could it be that the aliens had been hiding their clumsiness before? Or did they build a new type of submarine to deal with mines?
If someone dives underwater at this time, they will see another scene that is completely different from what they guessed: the alien submarine moves forward while releasing giant insects. These giant insects swim extremely fast underwater.
Go to the front of the submarine, actively crash into the mines in front of the submarine, and sacrifice yourself to clear the way for the submarine.
Of course, giant insects have no intelligence at all. They don't understand what death is, let alone what sacrifice is. They just passively accept orders and strictly execute them.
To put it bluntly, giant insects are nothing more than living weapons to aliens.
On the bridge of the Yuzhou, Yun Bo's face instantly turned pale. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and could be considered panicked. He immediately issued an order: "Go forward at full speed and launch interception depth bombs!"
"Full speed ahead!"
"Depth charge launch... the enemy ship corrects its course!"
On the electronic chart, the light spot representing the enemy ship formed a curved arc, which still coincided with the route of the Yuzhou.
Yun Bo's expression changed rapidly, and he yelled with all his strength: "Left full rudder, prepare to hit -"
