Chapter 40 Thunder at the bottom of the water
The explosion of the cloud bomb will also exert its greatest power when it burns all oxygen in a confined space and a strong environment. The high-temperature and high-pressure gas makes the steel lose its toughness in an instant, and then under the huge stress at both ends of the warship, any warship will break.
Especially when the M1 deploys these detonating warheads in a biochemical shark attack boat, they are arranged near the middle on both sides of the bottom of the ship. Such an explosion caused strong stress on the first two and second turrets of the "Fuji-class fire support ship" weighing hundreds of tons. In the end, the "Fuji-class fire support ship" was actually crushed by its own weight.
It is almost a joke solution to make a "Fuji-class fire support ship" at the level of a merchant ship.
However, the lack of long-range ground attack firepower is an eternal pain in the heart of the Fusang Empire. It's not that they can't make it. At the time of World War II, they were able to make 406 mm naval guns. It's not that they don't know how to make cruise missiles. Unfortunately, the United States will not allow them to study or manufacture such weapons and equipment.
For example, the Tomahawk missile is a kind of cruise missile that can carry a nuclear warhead with a slight modification. Perhaps the air defense capability may not be stronger than that of ballistic missiles, but it can be directly launched by the hanging system of the King Kong-class destroyer. Moreover, the submarine manufacturing capacity of the Fusang Empire is also of a considerable level in the whole world.
Then I have to imagine that if the Fusang Empire has no restriction. Then it is certain that they can easily develop nuclear attack submarines. If there are more submarine-launched cruise missiles that can carry nuclear warheads, there is no doubt that the Second Pacific War is an inevitable and inevitable war.
The reasons are mentioned above, and I won't say more here.
When the "Fuji-class fire support ship" sank to the bottom of the sea, it was time for M1 and his companions to drive a biochemical shark attack boat to leave. But at this time, M1 and others began a journey to the bottom of the sea.
This is an anti-submarine rocket from a King Kong-class destroyer. It comes from the MK-41 vertical launch system of a King Kong-class destroyer. In the black night, the flames of 16 anti-submarine rockets continuously lit up the sea. The "Fuji-class fire support ships" that are broken into two can be seen on the sea. On the oil-stained sea where they sank, some old-fashioned destroyers and ships rescuing the crew are going back and forth.
However, it was too late to do everything, and most of the crew were asleep in the middle of the night. And because the attack was a "cloud bomb", even if the crew in the ship did not die from the explosion, they would suffocate directly due to lack of oxygen. The explosion of the cloud bomb can form an anaerobic state for 7-8 minutes. Unless there are any oxygen supply measures, no one will have the possibility of escaping.
Despite this, the ships on the sea are still being rescued in vain. You should know that it takes at least three months of high-intensity training to train ordinary survivors into crews who can control warships. Then the current loss of these crew members will have a huge impact on the next battle plan of the Fusang Empire.
The next battle plan will undoubtedly point to China. As discussed earlier, if the Fusang Empire wants to rise and rule the world at this moment of biochemical crisis and the reorganization of the world's forces, then conquering China is an inevitable choice. Even if there is no biochemical crisis, if the Fusang Empire wants to rise without the constraints of the United States, it will still attack China first.
Sooner or later, there will be a war between China and Japan!
When China rises to the ocean, it must kick away the stone of the Fusang Empire, and vice versa! Because of their geographical location and historical hatred, the two countries must not coexist with the development! Unless one country is completely controlled by another country, this is another matter!
For Vice Admiral Toshio Ikeda, he will not be clear about these strategies. When he was surprised by the explosion and reports from the radio from the two white meatworms, he knew that his good luck was over.
"Is it a submarine?"
This is the first question asked by Vice Admiral Toshio Ikeda after staying for a while.
In the Battle of Guam, the navy did not have the threat of the opponent's sea warships. Because they are all stopped in the port, and the large axis of the propeller has become two sections at this time, and it is impossible to go to sea to fight. The powerful air force of the U.S. military has been completely "suppressed" by biochemical birds at this time and will not pose any threat to his fleet.
The only thing that Vice Admiral Toshio Ikeda is worried about the nuclear submarines that have never appeared. Their existence has always made Vice Admiral Ikeda feel like a light on his back. However, he used the sonar floats dropped by some hydrofoils and did not find any trace of U.S. nuclear submarines, and there was no sign that they could still move.
This time made him feel more at ease, especially after the deployment of the anti-submarine reconnaissance network formed by sonar floating around his fleet. As for the whereor of the U.S. nuclear submarine, he is not too worried. I think that they may encounter the outbreak of a biochemical crisis when sailing in the sea. And the crew on the submarine, unlike the sailors on other warships, have so many light weapons. Even if there is, where can the people on the submarine escape to?
However, when the attack on the "Fuji-class fire support ship" in the fleet and the supply transport ship as the main target began, the first thing he thought of was the American submarine that disappeared.
"Dear sir, the sonar did not find the target!"
Hearing such a report, Vice Admiral Toshio Ikeda, who was too late to dress, roared.
"How can this be!"
Yes, how can this be possible? The U.S. military has no warships, no fighters, or even the threat of artillery now. So how did they destroy 30 warships? In the report received by Vice Admiral Toshio Ikeda, not only all the "Fuji-class fire support ships" sank, but also all the transport ships sank.
Fortunately, all the army troops have been sent ashore, and the combat materials they need are often common to the United Nations forces in Guam. There were not many people on the transport ship, and most of the transport ships had unloaded all the supplies and waited for the return voyage.
In a way, this is also a kind of luck. After all, it is much better to be blown up an empty ship than to blow up other warships. And the other party did not attack his flagship, which is also a kind of luck. But this kind of luck doesn't help him.
Lieutenant General Ikeda was stunned. It was not until two "meat worms" who had put on their military uniforms that he came back to his senses in consternation. Two female subordinates brought military uniforms for him and urged him at the same time.
"senior, sir, we have to hurry up!"
Although at this time, they did not forget to use the encrypted channel. If possible, Vice Admiral Toshio Ikeda should really thank them for their carefulness. In this short time of dressing, Vice Admiral Toshio Ikeda thought about all the possibilities, and finally he came to the right conclusion.
"No, it must be a submarine. Improve the sensitivity of our sonar and search quickly!"
It is almost impossible for even a submarine to sink these warships at the same time. Of course, modern nuclear submarines have the ability to carry out such attacks, but what Vice Admiral Toshio Ikeda thinks of is not the nuclear submarine force of the United States. Because they are absolutely impossible, they silently cross his sonar floating anti-submarine net.
What this situation reminds him of was the people who studied by the Fuso Empire in World War II "fuck" torpedoes. There is no basic knowledge of Chinese characters here, only people with dirty minds take a detour. Man "fuck" a torpedo is a weapon that has appeared in the history of human war and achieved great results.
It first appeared in Italy, and the Italians used it to sink the British battleship Queen Elizabeth and the battleship Gangyong. At the end of World War II, the Fusang Empire also created similar "back to the sky" torpedoes by suicide attacks. In the follow-up, the "Jianglong" man, which is also based on suicide attacks, operated torpedoes. It's just that the torpedo troops of the Fusang Empire did not achieve as brilliant results as the Italians of the inventors.
Vice Admiral Toshio Ikeda can quickly think of such equipment. It can only be said that his rank of lieutenant general does not come from luck. Although this unlucky time, he lost many newly trained sailors, which may make him no longer brilliant, his quick thinking still gave the Fusang fleet in front of him to avoid the possibility of more losses.
With his order, the sensitivity of the entire anti-submersible sonar network was improved. At this time, the faint sound of the biochemical shark attack boat they were driving was recognized. Although no one could hear what the product it was, the sonar soldiers still targeted those biochemical shark attack boats.
The vertically launched anti-submarine rocket quickly throws the anti-submarine torpedo into the position of the target. The sonar signal characteristics of the other party have already been input into the guide heads of these torpedoes. Therefore, after entering the sea, the self-guided torpedo began to track the biochemical shark attack boat of M1 and his companions.
The VLA "Aslock" on the King Kong-class destroyer of the Fuso Empire launched a combat unit with a MK46-V self-guided torpedo, which can attack submarines at a depth of 1,000 meters. This is very different from the MK50 thermodynamic torpedoes equipped by the United States, which can attack nuclear submarines at a depth of 1250 meters.
As for the reason for not equipping the Fusang Empire with that kind of torpedo, I believe it is still out of constraints. However, for now, it is also a sufficient product to deal with possible micro-attack submarines.
