After Yu Zhiqian gave the order to fire, the commander at the console conveyed the order, and finally every soldier controlling the weapon terminal repeated the order.
"The turbocharging of torpedo tube No. 1 is completed, launch countdown, 10..." Virginia's torpedo launchers are located on both sides of the submarine, equipped with four torpedo launch tubes. According to online controversy, they are 533 mm torpedoes. Some people also say it is a 660mm torpedo. As Yu Zhiqian knows, this submarine uses a 533mm torpedo.
However, compared with traditional submarine torpedo launches that require water injection, Virginia-class submarines do not require water injection. There is a turbocharger device in the torpedo launch tube, which reduces the huge noise produced by the torpedo during the launch process, and the attack becomes more concealed!
"Everything is normal in the No. 1 missile silo and the missile was launched successfully!"
"Everything is normal in the No. 1 torpedo launch tube, and the torpedo was launched successfully!"
"Report, one torpedo and one Tomahawk missile have been launched at the target!"
"Very good! Switch the missile flight path!"
"yes!"
Soon, the screen on the submarine's bridge command center switched to the flight path of the missile. The missile had already left the water and was flying towards the USS Mexico not far away.
A few seconds ago, huge bubbles of water suddenly appeared above the bridge of the USS Virginia. In the launch silo, a missile broke through the sea water like a sharp sword and flew straight towards the sea. The submarine below At this time, the missile launch bay began to close, and then began to drain water automatically.
At another location underwater, the torpedo launch tube was opened, and a torpedo broke through the water underwater and began to accelerate toward the Mexico in the distance. At the same time, the torpedo trajectory began to move toward the water surface, and the speed became faster and faster.
Above the water, the originally rough sea surface suddenly seemed to be boiling, and a large number of bubbles emerged. If there were geologists around, they might think that an underwater volcano was erupting.
For one second, two seconds, there was a huge sound under the sea, like the roar of a monster. The surrounding fish and various underwater creatures fled in all directions. Suddenly, a missile opened the sea, flew into the air, and then flew out of the sea. At the same time, a ball of fire erupted from behind the submarine-launched missile. The sudden high temperature directly evaporated some seawater, and a sheet of steam rose from the sea.
After flying out of the water, the missile began to accelerate. While Yu Zhiqian was watching the flight trajectory of the missile, the overall speed of the missile suddenly increased several times and flew towards the target USS Mexico.
"Is the Mexico capable of intercepting it?" Yu Zhiqian touched his chin and asked the soldiers in the submarine.
"The report states that the main air defense means of the USS Mexico are: 2 quadruple 40mm Bofors cannons, 2 twin 40mm Bofors cannons, 11 single-barreled 20mm Oerlikon cannons, and no interceptor missiles. , the missile has accelerated and is expected to be discovered in three seconds. The missile will enter the end of the attack. The Mexico does not have terminal interception capabilities!
"Is that so? That's such a pity!" Yu Zhiqian sighed slightly. Such a big ship will soon turn into a piece of scrap metal. Yu Zhiqian still feels sorry for it. If possible, he would sell it to scrap. If you put it in the recycling bin, you should be able to sell it for a lot of money.
On the Mexico, Commander Cavani and his deputy beside him kept talking and explaining some things.
Cavani is in a pretty good mood now. Although Yu Zhiqian has not been found yet, what does it have to do with him? After all, this matter is a matter of the Army. He only needs to go through the motions, and the Mexico is dispatched, and the oil and water inside How many, only Cavani himself knows very well.
"Report, suspicious target found underwater!"
At this time, a soldier in charge of monitoring the sonar hurriedly reported to Cavani that not long after the sonar was turned on, a weak signal appeared. Just now, the signal suddenly became very clear.
This soldier didn't know that the submarine would make a lot of noise when it was submarine-launching, and the signal they just received was the feedback from the submarine when it was submarine-launching.
"Huh? Is there really a submarine? Haha, it seems that Silva guessed it, how far away is it?"
"Twenty nautical miles!"
"So close? What are you doing? The enemy is so close and you don't know. Damn it, are you going to wait until we are sunk before you tell me where the enemy is?" Cavani scolded his men. After that, he waved his hand: "Can you lock the position?"
"The signal is very strong and can be locked!"
"Can it be hit by direct fire?"
"Sir, if you fire a cannon, you may not be able to effectively sink the enemy ship. I suggest sending out an anti-submarine helicopter!"
The USS Mexico has an anti-submarine helicopter. Basically, modern warships, except for that magical third brother, all carry an anti-submarine helicopter. Submarines have become the most important threat to warships.
"Sir, yes, there is a missile flying towards us. It will hit our ship very soon. It is expected to hit our ship in fifteen seconds!"
At this time, another crew member rushed over crazily, shouting in terror.
"Then what are you still doing? Turn on all anti-air defenses. Damn it, turn on the air defense system, air defense, air defense!" Cavani almost yelled. As the captain, Cavani knew very well that the USS Mexico What exactly is China's air defense capabilities like?
There are no anti-aircraft missiles, no rapid-fire cannons, only some old-fashioned anti-aircraft cannons. These may be useful against some old-fashioned fighter jets, but in the face of modern missiles, even the oldest V1 rockets may not be able to defeat them. Can't stop it.
"God, what is that!"
The Mexican command room was in chaos, but there were still some soldiers who didn't know what was going on. In the originally dark sky, a bright light suddenly appeared, like a sudden meteor, piercing the sky and heading towards the Mexico. Fly here.
"Report, Captain, torpedoes, torpedoes, there are torpedoes approaching at high speed!"
"Alarm, why haven't you sounded the alarm!" Cavani is in chaos now, and the entire command room is also in chaos. The battle alarm should be sounded as soon as the fleet is attacked, but no one has sounded it yet. Only when Cavani roared, did a crew member panic and sound the alarm.
"Woooooooooooo..."
A huge siren suddenly sounded throughout the Mexico, and the red alarm lights in each cabin on the ship kept lighting up. I had been leisurely admiring the "shooting star" before and then I realized that this was not a shooting star, this was
A missile heading towards the USS Mexico.
"The USS Mexico is under attack! Where did it come from?"
The Mexican soldiers on some small boats around, including some gunboats and some old-fashioned warships, didn't understand what was happening, and they all looked at the USS Mexico, which was blaring a loud siren not far away.
"I don't know, maybe it's an operational error!"
"Well, maybe, I hope the unfortunate guy is okay!"
The people on the surrounding ships were still watching the show leisurely, but the Mexico was already a mess. In the face of death, everyone broke out with amazing fighting power. Now the crew of the Mexico are very grateful to Cavani.
The fire control system was added with a lot of money. Otherwise, the current time would not be enough for the Mexico to turn on the anti-aircraft guns.
"Da da da……"
"Boom, boom, boom..."
The sounds of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft cannons sounded one after another, and the USS Mexico tried to use this primitive weapon to intercept the prisoner-of-war missiles flying at high speed.
In addition to meteors in the night sky, there were constantly rays of light piercing the night sky and flying towards the "meteors". However, without exception, no bullets hit. Everyone on the Mexico could only watch the "meteors" crash into themselves.
"It's over!"
Cavani looked at the meteors getting closer and closer, with only one thought in his mind: he was finished.
"boom!"
The meteor that streaked across the sky directly hit the bridge of the USS Mexico without any hindrance, and was inserted diagonally into the bridge of the USS Mexico. The warhead exploded the moment it entered the hull.
The power of the missile warhead explosion instantly affected the entire Mexico, and the bridge of the Mexico was directly wiped out. However, fortunately, it only hit the bridge and did not detonate the ammunition depot below. Otherwise, the entire Mexico may have been blown to pieces.
.
The power of the explosion was not just that. After the explosion on the Mexico, the shock wave spread with the Mexico as the center. Coupled with the previous level 67 wind waves on the sea, several small ships close to the Mexico were directly overturned.
The one further away from the Mexico was also shaky, spinning violently on the sea surface, and could capsize at any time.
"God, what happened?"
"Damn, who attacked us, where is the enemy?"
The Mexican navy on the surrounding ships that had not been overturned looked at the Mexico with flames blazing in the distance. They were so surprised that they didn't know what to say. Some people knelt on the ground directly. They had never seen such a terrifying scene.
"Save people, go and save people!"
The captain who reacted faster shouted loudly and asked his crew to control the ship and quickly approach the Mexico in preparation for rescue, while some of them froze in place and didn't know what to do.
"Mexico, it's over!"
A Mexican Navy soldier knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his face. That was the symbol of the Mexican Navy, and now the ship is gone.
On the USS Mexico, there was no main bridge, only a big hole, and no one on the deck or around the bridge was spared. They were all killed, and the bodies of others had been carried away by the shock wave and fell on the
Sea.
Only some of the crew members in the cabin were lucky enough to escape. They climbed onto the deck covered in blood and were stunned as they looked at the unrecognizable Mexico.
"Mom, I want to go home!"
"I don't want to die, God, help me!"
"Torpedoes, torpedoes, there are torpedoes!"
Just when a group of soldiers were confused and trying their best to pray, a soldier near the port side suddenly saw a white wave on the dark sea, cutting through the sea and approaching the Mexico at high speed.
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
"Someone come and save us!"
"Help!"
After seeing the torpedo, the originally panicked and helpless scene became even more panicked and helpless. Some soldiers jumped directly into the sea in an attempt to escape.
"Don't jump off the ship, we are here to rescue you!"
The rest of the ships in the fleet kept approaching the Mexico in an attempt to rescue the people on the Mexico, but when they saw someone jumping off the ship, they immediately shouted loudly with their loudspeakers.
It is now August, the sea water temperature is already very low, and the weather conditions are getting worse today. It is basically difficult to rescue soldiers who jumped into the sea.
"Don't come here, don't come here, torpedo, torpedo, torpedo!"
Some soldiers on board the Mexico shouted loudly to remind friendly fleets not to approach the Mexico, but the wind was so strong that ships in the distance could not hear what they shouted.
The white waves kept fighting, and finally slammed into the Mexico. The Mexico's fragile armor could not stop the 530mm torpedo, and a huge hole was directly blown open.
This was not over yet. The location where the torpedo hit was the ammunition magazine of the USS Mexico. The Mexico, which had just escaped the disaster, did not escape this time. The ammunition magazine detonated by the torpedo exploded.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
A series of explosions and soaring flames rang out on the sea. The Mexico was instantly dismembered. Although the ammunition compartment was not fully loaded, the amount of ammunition was enough to blow the Mexico into two pieces.
"boom!"
"boom!"
After the big explosion, small-scale explosions continued, and the Mexico was seen from the middle, as if it had been torn apart by force. The bow and stern of the ship began to be silent toward the water at about 30 degrees.
It was also restless when entering the water, and explosions occurred from time to time. The Mexico was fully loaded with more than 3,400 tons. The warship of more than 3,000 tons sank toward the water, forming a vortex around itself, constantly pushing some of the surrounding jumpers into the water.
The ship's soldiers and other things were sucked into the whirlpool.
"Damn it, reverse the boat quickly, reverse the boat quickly!"
Some ships that originally wanted to approach Mexico for rescue saw Mexico cut into two pieces before their eyes. They all fell silent. No one spoke, and no one knew what to do.
Only the Mexico is equipped with a sonar system. These ships only have some simple communication systems and don't even have radar. They don't know where the enemy is coming from, whether it is a ship or a submarine. They only know that missiles can be launched from the other side.
When these ships were continuously sucked towards the Mexico by the vortex formed by the Mexico, these ships realized that they were still in danger.
The USS Mexico is completely finished and has become history. If the first missile hits and the entire bridge of the ship is flattened, and the USS Mexico is still possible to be repaired, now the USS Mexico has no salvage value and will be completely destroyed.
It became a piece of history in the history of the Mexican Navy.
