Dominate South Asia

Chapter 810: Rescue at Sea

The two wire-guided torpedoes in front were moving rapidly, and the thermal power system was constantly spitting out bubbles, exposing their own navigation trajectory.

And behind them, there were two more torpedoes, sailing silently, and these two torpedoes did not drag tail lines at all, they were completely silent killers! These were two wake-guided torpedoes!

"Two torpedoes found! One hundred meters apart!" The sonar operator shouted loudly in the Los Angeles-class submarine. For all the crew members, encountering torpedo attacks underwater was the first time they encountered it in actual combat without warheads!

"Full left rudder! Release the air curtain interference!" Locke shouted. The formation of the air curtain takes time, but it dissipates quickly. There is not much time left for them. As he guessed, the other party really set a trap. The worst thing is that he jumped into it.

What kind of torpedo was fired? If it was an old Pakistani torpedo imported from China, it would have weak anti-interference ability and might be easily avoided. If it was an advanced Western torpedo, it would be troublesome.

The air curtain was forming quickly. He turned the rudder to the left and moved forward a hundred meters. Then he ordered the rudder to the right. In this way, an S shape was formed, and the two torpedoes would lose their targets one after another.

When the two torpedoes almost brushed the edge and sailed near the Los Angeles-class submarine, and did not trigger the proximity fuse, Locke breathed a sigh of relief and dodged it!

Now, it's time to retaliate! Although the Los Angeles-class submarine has a large displacement and inertia, its maneuverability is still first-class. It's time to use your torpedoes to kill the opponent!

"Boom!" At this moment, a violent explosion came from the tail, and the whole hull was shaking. The steel hull amplified the sound. Everyone was shaking and felt inexplicable fear.

Damn, what's going on? Locke got up from the ground and still remembered that he was the captain!

"Report, the tail was hit by a torpedo, and the propeller and steering gear all failed!" Locke, who received the report, suddenly changed his face. This is a wake homing torpedo!

"Boom!" Just when he had just received the report and had not yet given the order to save himself, the second explosion began again!

In this explosion. Everyone heard the terrible sound of water under high pressure. The sea water 200 meters deep has a full 20 atmospheres of pressure! The second explosion blew up the pressure hull of the submarine!

The design ideas of Eastern and Western submarines are different. Western submarines are all single-hulled, which can reduce displacement and make the submarine's power performance more outstanding. The submarines of the Soviet era are all double-hulled, and there is another outer shell outside the pressure hull. Between the two layers is seawater, such as the Oscar-class submarine. The inner and outer layers are more than one meter thick. This is specially designed to break the ice and float under the Arctic ice. In other words, the outer layer is completely used for collision. This is also the reason why Soviet submarines often use collision tactics. Soviet submarines are strong! Even if they are hit by one or two torpedoes, they will be safe and sound.

However. American submarines are different if they are hit by two torpedoes!

The first one destroyed the exterior, and the second one penetrated the pressure hull, and the cold seawater penetrated in. For the submarine soldiers, this meant death.

"Close the power compartment!" Locke quickly gave the order. This was a cold order. It was also a choice he had to make.

When a captain, you have to make some choices. When necessary, you will sacrifice the lives of some people for the rest of the submarine. Only with such a decisive character. Is he a qualified captain.

The tail compartment was damaged and must be closed quickly. Otherwise, the seawater would flood all the compartments, and the entire submarine would lose its buoyancy, and no one would survive.

It must be fast!

The personnel who abandoned the power compartment closed the hatch leading to the power compartment in time. Listening to the sound of the hatch door being slapped from behind, Corporal Grus shed tears. He closed his eyes and imagined the scene of his companions being drowned by the sea water behind him. However, if the hatch was not closed in time, the surging seawater would drown everyone in the boat.

"Drain the main ballast tank and float up!" Locke shouted loudly. With the loss of power, the power supply of the entire submarine was interrupted, and the interior was already dark.

His orders were transmitted one by one, and soon, the message came back: "The system is locked and cannot be drained!"

The submarine can freely sail on the surface and underwater, mainly relying on the ballast tank. When diving, it sinks by injecting seawater, and when surfacing, it needs to use compressed air to beat out the seawater to reduce its own weight.

American soldiers are used to operating on the keyboard and letting the system run automatically, but now, with the scrapping of the power compartment and the interruption of power supply, the system has been locked.

"Manually open, manually open!" Locke shouted, hasn't this kind of training been carried out before?

Without power, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the submarine will become higher and higher. If it doesn't go up quickly, the people on the entire submarine will die because they can't breathe oxygen, and the chemical oxygen generator will be left in the power compartment at the back.

Several sailors moved the valve hard, and with the creaking sound, the valve finally loosened.

"Shh." Finally, the high-pressure air pipeline was opened, and the air flow was injected into the water tank, and the seawater was discharged. The buoyancy increased, the submarine shook, and everyone fell backwards.

The ballast water tank in front was just connected, which caused the hull to tilt at a large angle. Locke, who was rolling, lay on the hatch and shouted loudly: "Where are the ballast water tanks in the back? Open them all and restore balance!"

If it goes up like this, the submarine will definitely roll over after it comes out of the water, and then it will turn upside down and no one can get out.

While the Los Angeles-class submarine was trying to save itself, Thors also ordered his submarine to surface and turned on the engine at the depth of the snorkel.

Fresh air poured into the submarine, and the dirty air was constantly discharged. The sound of the diesel engine was so pleasant.

While maintaining high speed and charging the battery, this short opportunity was too rare. In less than an hour, the submarine had to continue to dive.

"Captain, we seem to be heading in the wrong direction?" said the deputy captain. Now, our submarine is sailing south. Isn't this close to the enemy?

"At this time, it would be stupid for us to return north or enter the Maldives eastward." Thors didn't say much, his eyes continued to stare at the periscope.

We hit another submarine, and now the chaos is even bigger. The enemy will definitely go crazy to surround us, and they will also find that our real purpose is to leave through the coral reef in the Maldives, so they will surround us tightly? At this time, we must take a risky move and sail south! The Americans are focusing on searching the north and east. They have just searched the south and will definitely give up. Only by passing through the southern sea area can we return to Pakistan safely.

Thors was very confident. In his periscope, a submarine broke out of the water. The bow of the submarine was high, and almost half of the submarine was out of the water before it fell heavily. The people inside would definitely be hit and bleeding!

With a conventional submarine, he damaged a Los Angeles-class submarine. Thors knew that he would definitely become famous. However, after such a big mess, how would the rear "deal with" him?

"Report, I received the news from Karachi." At this time, the signalman came to the command tower with an order.

In the snorkel state, the communication was finally restored. Although for the sake of secrecy, only messages were received and not sent, Thors was still very eager to know.

President Muhammad did not give up on himself! He actually sent a double aircraft carrier battle group to rescue him! After getting this information, Thors's hands were shaking involuntarily. It was so awesome! Even if our side was sunk, it was worth it! The motherland did not give up on us!

The Los Angeles-class submarine that surfaced did not turn upside down. When it fell down like a dragon out of the water, everyone inside was thrown up and hit hard beside it, with blood on their heads.

It feels so good to be alive!

When he felt that the hull was not upside down, Locke ordered the hatch to be opened, and a sailor carefully climbed out of the submarine and first observed the blown-up tail.

Sure enough, it was already in pieces, the steam engine was blown up, and the reactor at the rear was temporarily intact and there was no leakage.

All that was left was to wait here, hoping that the surface forces would come and pick them up first. From the bathtub in the command tower, Locke used a telescope to observe the south. His own fleet should arrive in two hours, right? The radio was broken, and he couldn't even send out a distress signal.

When he turned his gaze to the north, he saw a large fleet that had already appeared in the telescope's field of view.

Damn, how come the Pakistani navy came first?

"Report, radar found a warship on the sea." At the forefront of the entire fleet, the Friendship Shield battleship Hasat, the long-range sea search radar found a floating ship on the sea.

Soon, it was within visual distance. The captain of the battleship looked at the ship on the water through a telescope. It was a Los Angeles-class submarine in a floating state!

What's going on? Do American submarines like to surface to fight? The captain was stunned for a moment, and then he saw it again, and suddenly realized that the other side was almost sunk and was now waiting for rescue!

The name of our fleet this time is sea rescue, but I didn't expect that there is actually a rescue mission waiting for us!

"Indomitable, Indomitable, we found a US Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine at sea, which was hit in the tail and lost its ability to move. Prepare for rescue operations." The captain picked up the radio and reported to the flagship behind. (To be continued ~^~)
