One Thousand Four Hundred and Eighty-Eight Awkward Sinking
The helmsman swerved to the left, and the aircraft carrier's wake drew a conspicuous arc, and the heavy ship tilted to the left suddenly.
All the sailors on the ship immediately grabbed everything they could hold and fixed themselves tightly.
Boom——
A loud thunder-like sound suddenly came from the bottom of the ship, and there were bursts of steel tearing sounds. The hull of the Yuzhou suddenly trembled violently, like a high-speed racing car suddenly hit by another car. The hull staggered strongly and tilted to the left sharply, and the deck was almost inserted into the water.
The underwater alien submarine held the Yuzhou tightly, and it was forced to move sideways for more than 100 meters before stopping.
The alien submarine reversed at full speed and pulled out the bow that had hit the Yuzhou, and seawater immediately poured into the huge gap.
Although Yunbo gave the order in advance, the collision was too sudden and too violent, and many soldiers were thrown to the ground by the strong inertia.
The warship was full of pipelines and equipment, and many people bumped into the protruding edges and corners. Dozens of people suffered fractures or even serious injuries.
On the distant coast, all the soldiers who climbed the city wall witnessed this scene. They widened their eyes and clenched their fists tightly, but they could only worry helplessly.
The walls were full of infantrymen, with only rifles and machine guns in their hands. The range was not enough to tickle the aliens. Even if the guns were destroyed, they could not hurt the aliens at all.
It was not just the ordinary officers and soldiers who were anxious. Liu Huaidong in the command center had already become an ant on the hot pot, but he did not understand naval warfare at all. Apart from asking the Qionghe for assistance, he could not think of any other way.
It was not that he was unwilling to think, but the weapons with enough range were either not powerful enough or too powerful. Liu Huaidong almost turned gray with worry because he wanted to help but could not find suitable equipment.
There is no shortage of anti-ship missiles in the base, but the problem is that all the returning missiles are nuclear warheads!
Dou Gaoyang is even more depressed than Liu Huaidong. His current situation is not much better than Liu Huaidong. He knows where the enemy is, but he has no way to kill the enemy. He is so frustrated.
He also thought of nuclear bombs, but there is Yuzhou on the water. Unless Beidu gives an order, who dares to drop a nuclear bomb on their own aircraft carrier?
The feeling of being anxious and unable to help is just like having a nest of rats in your arms. It's so annoying.
I wish I could drive a space battleship down and smash all the enemy ships to pieces.
Everyone wants to know the situation on Yuzhou. The signalman desperately calls Yuzhou, but receives no response.
It's not that Yuzhou didn't receive it, but Yunbo didn't have time to answer at all.
Yunbo hit his head on the command platform when the two ships collided, and a bump as big as an egg appeared on his head. However, he did not notice that he had a horn on his head. He got up immediately and asked, "How is the bottom of the ship?"
"Report, the specific situation is not clear yet!"
"Where did it hit?"
"A little behind the middle of the port side... The report is out, the port side is damaged, and the bottom of the ship is leaking!"
Yunbo's heart was pounding: "What about the damage? Seal it immediately..."
"It can't be sealed, it's too big!"
"Seal the damaged area!"
"Yes!" With an order, all the sailors in the damaged area took action and closed the watertight door as quickly as possible.
The damage to the underwater line was too big. Seawater rushed into the warship crazily. The bottom cabin was almost submerged by seawater. The strong water flow made it impossible to close the watertight door. Even if several soldiers used all their strength, they could not close the watertight door.
Fortunately, the watertight door was not closed in time, so many sailors in the damaged area could escape. Otherwise, once the watertight door was closed, it would be impossible to open it again. Opening the watertight door means that the warship may sink. No matter who it is, it is impossible to let the warship take such a big risk to save one or a few people.
At the critical moment, the special forces on board played a big role. They were the only mobile infantry in the entire aircraft carrier battle group, with a total of only more than 30 people.
But even with the powerful power of the power armor, one person alone could not push the watertight door up. Three or four people must go together to barely close the watertight door.
The soldiers tried their best, but there were too few mobile infantry and the damaged area was too large. The Yuzhou sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Yunbo was anxious and sweated. He kept asking about the situation in the bottom cabin, but the questions he got were not good news.
As the saying goes, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone. Before the blockage here came to a conclusion, the sonar operator issued another warning. The alien submarine changed direction and rushed to the starboard side of the Yuzhou.
Yun Bo almost fainted. He wanted to eat these damn aliens alive, but he had no chance. The only thing he could do was to issue a collision warning again.
There was another muffled sound, accompanied by the sound of tearing steel. The Yuzhou was pushed sideways by the alien submarine for dozens of meters. After the warship stabilized, Yun Bo knew without asking that a big hole must have been torn on the starboard side.
The aircraft carrier has a lot of reserve buoyancy, but no matter how much reserve buoyancy there is, it can't withstand two holes entering at the same time. The sinking of the Yuzhou is inevitable.
At the critical moment, Yun Bo calmed down instead.
It's not that he has a good psychological quality, but all his worries have become reality. The situation has reached an irreversible point. Can't he just break the jar?
In a panic, he ordered loudly: "Right rudder fifteen, full speed ahead, 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 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, son of a 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 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!
This is so fucking embarrassing!
