Chapter 112 Joint Operations

Silver Shadow has arrived.

The strange fish that rushed over at nearly two hundred knots immediately caused chaos on Connecticut.

"Hurry, launch nuclear torpedo!" the captain shouted in a hurry.

At this time, he no longer cared about the shipwreck. The US Navy had made many deductions. Faced with this monster with a speed, the surface warship may have the power to fight with its dense deep bomb volleys, but the submarine has no resistance except for launching nuclear torpedoes or nuclear anti-submarine missiles.

The nuclear-charged mk48 flew out of the launch tube quickly, dragging a long wire to the upward tilt route, and crashing head-on toward the silver shadow that was rushing towards thirty kilometers away.

The two light spots of six kilometers per minute and one-seven kilometers per minute quickly brought the distance between the two sides on the sonar screen.

"The monster below is retreating!" the sonar screamed.

Yes, Ersha, who was originally dormant at the sea, suddenly rushed into the distance.

"All the remaining torpedoes follow." The captain calmly issued an order. He had no time to control Ersha now, and he just needed to ensure that it would not attack. Compared with it, Silver Shadow was the biggest threat.

There are actually two nuclear torpedoes on Connecticut, but there is no launch tube. After the wire-guided torpedo is launched, it is necessary to ensure that the outer cover of the launch tube is opened, because the wire connecting the torpedo extends out from the inside, and the outer cover cannot be filled with the torpedoes without closing. All spare nuclear torpedoes are on the storage rack behind the same launch tube. It is impossible to move to other launch tubes, so it is impossible to launch a second nuclear torpedo before completing the attack on Silver Shadow.

Seven torpedoes that were originally patrolling under Connecticut immediately rushed towards Ersha according to the instructions issued by the submarine, but their mission was to alert rather than attack. As long as Ersha didn't float to their attack depth, they could only track the guy's head.

On the Connecticut, people were so angry that they were not afraid to breathe and were busy at their posts. For these crew members who had no practical experience, today is obviously the biggest test in their lives. In order to prevent accidental breaking of the wires, the propeller of the submarine had stopped rotating and hovered quietly in the sea water. Eight wires extending from the launch tube controlled eight torpedoes like the tentacles of eight octopus, facing different enemies.

Ersha ignored the torpedoes patrolling overhead at all. In fact, it did not know the specific location of these torpedoes. This is also the reason why Wang Yue dared not take the initiative to attack. There is no sonar in the dark sea water, so it is difficult for him to avoid these torpedoes. Maybe he will be able to hit him when he launches an attack. His current goal is to let Ersha return to his original place and get the weapons placed there.

Two minutes later, when Ersha rolled up four pressure-resistant cylinders and began to rush down below Connecticut again, everyone in the submarine looked at the screen blankly, of course not looking at it, because at this moment, Yinying, who was about to enter the attack distance, suddenly turned around on the spot. It was obvious that the purpose of this monster was to snatch a shot and draw a nuclear torpedo to create a chance for the lower body.

"Torpedo turns to attack the wreck." The captain immediately made a choice with a sneer.

It is meaningless to chase a monster that can reach 200 knots at the fastest, and it has already fired a torpedo of nearly four kilometers, and it is impossible to return to attack the monster below. In this way, the shipwreck becomes the best target. He does not believe that these two monsters will sit by and watch him destroy the arms he is about to get.

The nuclear torpedo, who was chasing Yinying according to the original route, immediately turned around and rushed towards the shipwreck position under the command of the submarine control system behind. But at this moment, Yinying, who had already been away, suddenly turned around and rushed over again.

"These bastards! Cut off the wire torpedo and enter self-guided mode, ready to load the nuclear torpedo." The captain shouted angrily.

It is obvious that the enemy's cunning is not inferior to the one below. Its goal is to exhaust the fuel of this torpedo. The mk48 is a thermal torpedo. The engine uses Otto fuel and the maximum range is forty-six kilometers. Once the fuel is exhausted, it can only automatically sink to the bottom of the sea. Even if one more is fired, this monster can continue to play this way. Its speed is fast enough and its range is even more infinite. In this way, even if all the torpedo are exhausted, you don't think of hurting it.

But without nuclear torpedoes, Connecticut will have a dead end.

Since this is the case, there is no need to follow its ideas.

Under the command of the captain, the wire dragged behind the nuclear torpedo was quickly cut off. Then the outer cover of the submarine launch tube was closed and the inner cover of the seawater was opened. A backup nuclear torpedo on the torpedo stand behind pushed the slide and then pushed into the launch tube. The inner cover closed and the outer cover opened. The torpedo was knocked out again, and then dragged the wire to the silver shadow.

In fact, the captain was thinking too much. Even if he didn't fire the second nuclear torpedo, Yinying wouldn't really rush to him to attack. Boss Wang asked Yinying to reinforce him, but it was just to interfere at the upper level to get time for the attack for Ersha.

The task Wang Yue gave it was very simple. He attacked with a feint. He rushed to a distance of more than ten kilometers away from Connecticut and turned around and launched a feint. He continued to harass him over and over again. He could not know whether Connecticut fired torpedoes or several torpedoes at Silver Shadow.

But as before, his allies knew.

Just less than ten kilometers away from Connecticut, a Chinese Navy anti-submarine helicopter that had just arrived was hovering on the sea surface. A releasing sonar hangs down from the belly of the aircraft and sinks into the sea water. It uses a passive sonar with extremely sensitive passive sonar to monitor everything underwater in the distance. Of course, it also includes the nuclear torpedo, and all the noise generated by the rotation of the propeller behind the torpedo.

"Torpedo turn?" This information stunned Wang Yue.

"Yes, in addition to the seven torpedoes that were cruising under Connecticut, another torpedo that had originally attacked west suddenly turned, and the target should be the wreck. The second torpedo behind it had been launched, and should have been launched from the same launch tube." Lin Ying continued on the phone.

It is impossible for a launch tube to launch two linear torpedoes at the same time. It is obvious that the first torpedo was turned into self-guided, which means that it will not detonate until it reaches the position and depth of the shipwreck.

"I need the exact position." Wang Yue said hurriedly.

"Passive sonar cannot achieve true accuracy." Lin Ying said.

"Then turn on active sonar. I want to have active mode for releasing sonar!" Wang Yue said.

"Impossible. If we turn on active sonar, it is equivalent to publicly helping you. Passive sonar detection is possible. We found that there are submarines with unknown nationality nearby that have been driving active sonars as threats for reconnaissance, but when you are illuminating active sonars when you are on the right side of the war, it is publicly provoked." Lin Ying answered without hesitation.

"The diplomatic department will solve this problem. How do you know it is an American submarine? How do you know it is a war with the Atlantis? Our warships were sailing on the high seas and suddenly encountered an unidentified national submarine that was actively exposed to an unsung sonar. You also said that this is a provocation. Since it is a provocation, why can't we use active sonar to use the same? Think about it, a nuclear submarine, a US submarine, even the Los Angeles-class, is probably full of treasures?" Wang Yue said in a tempting tone.

"We don't have much time left. If you have not made a decision yet, my friends will have to retreat. Anyway, they just lose some goods. At worst, they can transport some more from places that the United States cannot reach. One, two, three..." He then began counting.

His time is indeed not long, only less than five minutes. The submarine's location and shipwreck are only ten minutes torpedo flights, and it is probably half over now.

"Open active sonar!" Just as he counted to five, a man's voice came from the phone, and Wang Yue immediately smiled.

"There is an active sonar nearby to turn on!" Just over a dozen seconds later, the sonar on the Connecticut was screaming in horror.

"Cut off all the wires, all the torpedoes will be turned into self-guided mode, and the submarine will float up urgently and float to the surface!" The captain screamed in horror, and he knew very well what this meant.

At this moment, the silver shadow on the sonar screen suddenly accelerated to its limit, and instantly rushed to the nuclear torpedo that rushed towards the wreckage ship. Then, nearby searched for the target with their naked eyes, then opened their mouths and bit the torpedo from above and rushed to the distant sea surface.

Behind it, another nuclear torpedo also moved into self-guided mode, but because its active sonar seeker was too far away, it could not find the target at all. This torpedo was sailing according to the attack route set previously, so of course it was impossible for it to find the target again.

Almost at the same time, Ersha suddenly jumped out of the water, flew past the seven torpedoes in the cruise at a high speed, and then rushed to Connecticut.

At this time, the helicopter releasing sonar was closed.

But this short moment determined the fate of the Connecticut. After cutting off all torpedo wires, the nuclear submarine that was about to jump out of the sea was suddenly hugged by Ersha. Before the American soldiers inside could react, under the terrifying torque of Ersha who was spraying water on the side, the entire submarine immediately began to roll.

The nightmare of Yunlong came to them.

At this time, the torpedoes that were transferred to self-guided mode also arrived below Connecticut, with the lessons of the Cui Ying. Of course, they would not attack their submarines anymore. The protection program was immediately activated, and then all torpedoes turned to search for the target again.

But their targets were holding the Connecticut tightly with eight wrists and feet and playing a happy game.

As for the Yinying holding the nuclear torpedo, it was already more than ten kilometers away by now. Wang Yue didn't know what procedure it used to detonate. What if it was time? So after reaching a safe distance, Yinying threw down the nuclear torpedo and turned around and circled around the sea, avoiding the nuclear torpedo that was searching for it, and rushed towards Connecticut from the other side.
