One Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty-Seven Prepare to Impact

After receiving the request from the equatorial base, the bridge of the Qionghe was silent, but the battle situation could not wait, and the captain Dou Gaoyang gritted his teeth and said: "Fire!"

The only electromagnetic gun of the Qionghe fired again, and the shells drilled into the atmosphere one by one, turning into a series of rapidly falling flames.

The power of the electromagnetic gun is unquestionable, but the warship is located in space at an altitude of more than 120 kilometers. After the shells leave the warship, it takes a full 17 seconds to hit the target.

This is the data that ignores atmospheric resistance. If the air resistance is taken into account, the time to hit the target will be even slower.

The resistance of water is extremely large, and the speed of the submarine underwater cannot be fast at all, but nearly half a minute is enough for the enemy ship to run out of more than a dozen ship positions, so it is not so easy to hit.

What makes everyone even more depressed is that even if the shells hit the target, they may not be destroyed.

It was still a problem of resistance. The Qionghe was not equipped with supercavitating shells. Ordinary shells were extremely fast, and the resistance they encountered after entering the water was stronger. Moreover, the faster the shells were, the higher the resistance they encountered. Ten meters of water depth could completely offset the power of the shells!

Various factors were like ropes that tied up the hands and feet of the Qionghe layer by layer. The Qionghe could only give priority to attacking targets close to the water surface.

Lines of fire fell into the sea, stirring up high water columns, and it was unknown whether they hit the target.

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 sailors who were escaping. Instead, the firepower from space accidentally injured many sailors.

No one wanted to accidentally injure their own people, but this was a battlefield of life and death, and there was no room for hesitation and mercy.

Kindness does not command the army, and justice does not engage in business. Even if the commanders did not want to see this scene, they had to harden their hearts and turn a blind eye and deaf ear.

There is no runner-up on the battlefield. Many times, you must do whatever it takes to win.

Although the Equatorial Base resisted with all its strength with the assistance of the Qionghe, the balance of victory still stubbornly leaned towards the aliens, and the Yuzhou aircraft carrier, which was one step behind, became the aliens' new target.

The attack from space made the aliens much more cautious. In order to avoid electromagnetic shells, all alien submarines quickly dived.

At this moment,

the air on the Yuzhou was almost frozen, everyone's face was tightly tense, and the captain Yunbo's face was as gloomy as water, without any expression.

But his mood was not so calm, but as turbulent as the sea surface swept by a storm.

The core combat power of an aircraft carrier is carrier-based aircraft. Without carrier-based aircraft, the aircraft carrier is like an eagle with broken wings and a tiger with lost teeth, and the remaining combat power is almost negligible.

A good aircraft carrier battle group sank several warships in succession as soon as the war started, and there were only a few that could float on the water. The Yuzhou was almost alone and had to face the powerful aliens alone.

Yuzhou had fought with aliens before, but it was the first time that it was blocked by aliens in the port. If possible, Yunbo would park all the warships at the dock. In that case, the mines deployed outside the port would have some effect and would not be directly sunk by enemy ships.

However, Xidan Port is a crescent-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 increases rapidly to more than 50 meters.

If an aircraft carrier or other warship is sunk in the bay by an enemy ship, the sunken ship will block the waterway of Xidan Port and directly abolish the navigation capacity of Xidan Port. At that time, only small ships with shallow draft can enter the port, and any large ship will not be able to dock at the port.

In other words, sinking the aircraft carrier battle group in the bay is equivalent to cutting off the traffic between the equatorial base and the country. Ships from the country must dock dozens of kilometers away, and the transportation of materials and personnel will be greatly affected.

Therefore, the aircraft carrier battle group cannot stay in the bay in any case. This is not only a tactical need, but also a strategic need.

However, leaving the port means facing the aliens, and it means that they must fight the enemy head-on. Everyone knows the consequences of fighting the aliens to death, but at this point, there is no better way, or there is no time for Yunbo to think of a solution, so he can only bite the bullet and fight.

Yunbo knew that his face must be very ugly at this moment. He really wanted to retreat to the shore, so that he would not have to face the aliens, let alone fight with them.

But his feet were nailed to the deck, and he gritted his teeth to face everything that was about to come.

He was the captain of the ship and the backbone of all the officers and soldiers on the ship. No matter how confused he was, he could not show it, otherwise he and others would be more confused. At that time, there was no need to fight, and it would be more satisfying to just cut his neck.

Seeing that the Yuzhou was about to sail out of the bay, the sonar operator suddenly shouted loudly: "Report, alien submarine approaching, direction two holes four, distance 1,200 meters, very fast!"

Yun Bo's heart tightened, and his face became worse, but he stiffened his neck and snorted coldly: "Don't care!"

The bay was densely covered with mines, 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 bull.

On the water surface on the left side of the aircraft carrier, a series of water columns suddenly exploded, and all the water columns were connected into a line. According to the explosion speed of the mines, the enemy ship will collide with Yuzhou soon.

Everyone was stunned by this scene. When did the alien submarine become so strong? Did the aliens hide their strength before? Or did they build a new submarine to deal with mines?

If someone dives underwater at this time, they will see another scene that is completely different from the guess: the alien submarine is moving forward while releasing giant insects. These giant insects swim very fast underwater. They quickly swim in front of the submarine and actively hit the mines in front of the submarine, using their own sacrifice to clear the way for the submarine.

Of course, the giant insects have no intelligence at all, and they don’t understand what death is, let alone what sacrifice is. They just passively accept orders and then strictly execute them.

To put it bluntly, the giant insects are just living weapons for aliens, and nothing else.

On the bridge of the Yuzhou, Yunbo's face turned pale instantly. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared and could be considered panic-stricken. He immediately gave an order: "Go full speed ahead, fire intercept depth charges!"

"Go full speed ahead!"

"Deep charges fired... enemy ship corrects course!"

On the electronic chart, the light spot representing the enemy ship formed a curved arc, still coinciding with the route of the Yuzhou.

Yunbo's face changed several times in an instant, and he shouted with all his strength: "Full left rudder, prepare to hit--"
