The helmsman suddenly turned the rudder to the left, the aircraft carrier's wake drew a conspicuous arc, and the heavy hull suddenly tilted to the left.
All the sailors on the ship immediately grabbed everything they could grab and held themselves firmly in place.
Boom——
Suddenly there was a loud thunderous sound from the bottom of the ship, and there were bursts of sounds of tearing steel. The Yuzhou ship suddenly trembled violently, like a high-speed racing car suddenly being rear-ended by another car.
There was a strong stagger, tilting sharply to the left, and the deck was almost plunged into the water.
The alien submarine under the water pressed hard against the Yuzhou, forcing the Yuzhou to move sideways for more than a hundred meters before stopping.
The alien submarine reversed at full speed and pulled out the bow of the Yuzhou that had crashed into it. Seawater immediately poured into the huge breach.
Although Yun Bo gave the order in advance, the impact was too sudden and violent, and many soldiers were thrown to the ground by the strong inertia.
There were pipelines and equipment everywhere on the battleship, and many people bumped into the protruding edges and corners, causing minor injuries, including minor injuries, and dozens of fractures and even serious injuries.
On the distant coast, all the soldiers who climbed onto the city wall witnessed this scene. Their eyes widened and they clenched their fists, but they could only worry helplessly.
The walls are full of infantry, and they only have rifles and machine guns. The range is not enough to scratch the aliens' itch. Even if the guns are disabled, they will not be able to hurt the aliens even a hair.
It was not just the ordinary officers and soldiers who were anxious. Liu Huaidong in the headquarters had long been an ant on the hot pot, but he didn't understand naval battles at all. Apart from asking the Qionghe for assistance, he couldn't think of any other way.
It wasn't that he didn't want to think about it, but that the weapons with sufficient range were either not powerful enough or too powerful. He wanted to help but couldn't find the right equipment. Liu Huaidong almost turned his hair gray with worry.
There is no shortage of anti-ship missiles in the base, but the problem is that the return missiles are all nuclear warheads!
Dou Gaoyang is even more depressed than Liu Huaidong. His current situation is no better than Liu Huaidong's. He knows where the enemy is but can't kill him. Let alone the frustration he feels.
He also thought about nuclear bombs, but there was still Yuzhou on the water. Unless Beidu gave an order, who would dare to throw a nuclear bomb on the head of his own aircraft carrier?
The feeling of being in a hurry and not being able to help is just like carrying a nest of rats in your arms. It makes you feel like you are scratching your heart and you want to drive a space battleship into it and smash all the enemy ships to pieces.
Everyone wanted to know what was going on aboard the Yuzhou. The signalmen desperately called the Yuzhou, but received no answer.
It's not that the Yuzhou number didn't receive it, and Yunbo didn't have time to answer at all.
When the two ships collided, Yun Bo hit his head on the command platform and got a bump on his head as big as an egg. However, he didn't even notice that he had a horn on his head and got up immediately: "How is the bottom of the ship?
"
"Report, the specific situation is still unclear!"
"Where did it hit?"
"The middle part of the port side is aft... the report came out, the port side is damaged and the bottom of the ship is leaking!"
Yun Bo's heart was beating wildly: "Where's the pipe damage? Block it immediately..."
"It can't be blocked, it's too big!"
"Seal the damaged area!"
"Yes!" With an order, all sailors in the damaged area took action and closed the watertight doors as quickly as possible.
The damage to the underwater line was so great that seawater poured into the battleship crazily, and the bottom compartment was almost submerged by seawater. The strong current made it impossible to close the watertight door. Even if several soldiers tried their best, they could not close the watertight door.
The door closes.
Fortunately, the watertight door was not closed in time, so many sailors in the damaged area were able to escape. Otherwise, once the watertight door is closed, it will be impossible to open it again - opening the watertight door means that the warship may sink, no matter who it is.
It is impossible for a battleship to take such a big risk just to save one or a few people.
At the critical moment, the special operations team members accompanying the ship played a big role. They were the only mobile infantry in the entire aircraft carrier battle group, with a total of only thirty people.
But even with the powerful power of the power armor, one person alone cannot push the watertight door open. Three or four people must move together to close the watertight door.
The soldiers tried their best, but there were too few mobile infantry and the damage area was too large. The Yuzhou sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yun Bo broke into a cold sweat and kept asking about the situation in the bottom cabin, but the news he got was not good.
As the saying goes, good things never come in pairs, and misfortunes never come singly. The blockade here has not yet yielded results. The sonar officer issued another warning. The alien submarine changed its direction and was rushing towards the starboard side of the Yuzhou.
Yun Bo almost fainted. He wanted to eat these damn aliens alive, but he had no chance at all. The only thing he could do was to issue another impact warning.
There was another muffled sound, also accompanied by the sound of tearing steel, and the Yuzhou was pushed by the alien submarine and moved several dozen meters laterally. After the battleship stabilized, Yunbo knew without asking that a large hole must have been torn open on the starboard side.
hole.
The aircraft carrier has a lot of reserve buoyancy, but no matter how much reserve buoyancy it has, it cannot withstand the flooding of two holes at the same time. The sinking of the Yuzhou is inevitable.
At the critical moment, Yun Bo calmed down.
It's not that he has a good psychological quality, but that all his worries have become reality. The situation has reached an irreversible point. Isn't it okay to break the pot and break it?
In a panic, he shouted an order: "Fifteen right rudder, move forward at full speed, everyone evacuate the bottom cabin, quickly!"
No one understood what Yun Bo wanted to do, but the helmsman faithfully carried out the order and steered the giant aircraft carrier at sea.
Even though both the left and right sides were hit by alien submarines, the power cabin at the stern has not yet had any problems. The Yuzhou is still capable of sailing, but the speed is quite slow, and the higher the speed, the faster it takes in water.
, according to the current speed of the Yuzhou, the seawater will swallow up the bottom tank in just half a minute.
What Yun Bo wanted was this half minute. More than twenty seconds later, the seawater had submerged half of the ship. The sinking Yuzhou suddenly shook, and its sinking momentum slowly stopped.
Yun Bo let out a long breath and finally showed a smile on his face: "Okay, you bitch, you want to sink my battleship? Just dream!"
Many people still didn't understand what happened, but some reacted quickly and immediately realized what Yun Bo meant.
The reason is very simple. The Yuzhou has not sailed out of the bay yet, and the water here is only 17 or 18 meters deep.
The Yuzhou's fully loaded draft is just over ten meters, and the vertical height between the flight deck and the waterline is twenty-four meters. In other words, after the battleship sinks seven meters, the bottom of the ship will touch the seabed, and it will not sink even if it wants to.
Go down, and at this time, the hull is still seventeen meters above the water!
