Chapter 220 Misery (Third update)
On the deck, Nadaya stood stunned.
The high-speed transport ship that exploded and sank just now was not far away from him, and he saw all the tragedy on the ship.
The soldiers who were thrown away and torn apart, the hull of the ship was broken, the propeller with the stern lifted up out of the water, and the soldiers who kept falling into the sea like dumplings and calling for help, all deeply impacted his weak heart.
"Nadaya, come on and put on your life jacket."
Bryce pulled Nadaya, who was still in a daze, because he underestimated the enemy and thought it would be a safe landing. The American soldiers had already planned to get off the ship and go somewhere to play in Zen country, and no one went to wear it. A life jacket that gets in the way.
The entire transport fleet was in a mess. Some soldiers were scrambling for life jackets, and some were putting down lifeboats. Some recruits with poor psychological quality who had just joined the army collapsed and fell into a chaotic situation, wandering around like headless flies. run.
thump! thump!
The two Aegis destroyers and two littoral combat ships escorting the transport fleet also used sonar detection to locate the mines under the water.
Several warships sounded the battle alarm, and their tails frantically threw rocket depth bombs into the sea for hard damage, detonating those mines in advance.
At the same time, acoustic decoys were also dropped in an attempt to cause those mines to misidentify their targets and detonate in advance.
The depth charges were indeed effective. Many mines were destroyed. The pale corpse hands that propelled the mines were shattered and turned into spiritual power that dispersed in the air.
However, the U.S. border defenses are tight and the number of mines is greater.
"I want to see how much you can defend against."
On the top of a mountain in the distance, Su Jie sat with his legs crossed on a large branch, looking at the chaotic fleet in the distance with a sneer.
Compared with the expensive warships, which often cost over 100 million US dollars, mines have neither bright trajectory nor beautiful appearance. In addition, the price is cheap and the manufacturing is simple. Su Jie purchased a large batch and even asked for them from Mao Zi. When it came to the production method, the military factory in the Mandeb area copied a batch of them. Anyway, it was not too high-tech. It was just a simple touch to detonate the mines.
Even if it were replaced with those warships, if one hundred mines were used to replace one transport ship, Su Jie would make a profit, not to mention the casualties.
With his eyes narrowed, Su Jie looked towards the sea. There were aquatic Gu insects he had arranged there to use as a field of view for reconnaissance. Su Jie only had to direct the pale corpses to push the mines and hit them as if they were playing a game.
boom! boom! boom! boom! boom!
The sea surface seemed to be boiling, mines were detonated one after another, and rocket depth bombs launched by destroyers and frigates fell into the sea, exploding rows of water columns.
In the sky, anti-submarine helicopters were also dropping depth bombs, trying their best to prevent mines from approaching the transport ship.
But even under such a dense blockade, there were still mines approaching the transport ship, and finally it detonated loudly after being attached to it, causing the people who exploded to flip over the ship.
One after another, valuable military high-speed transport ships were torn apart by mine explosions. The crew members in the lower cabins were directly squeezed into blood and mud against the steel bulkheads during the impact.
The soldiers who ran to the upper level could not escape their fate. Some were crushed to death by heavy objects on the ship and burned to death by the burning cabin. Those who were lucky enough to survive had to fall into the sea and keep flopping in the sea water.
A fierce naval battle broke out. On the one hand, there was the hedgehog-like American expedition fleet, which was constantly defending on the sea. On the other hand, there were seemingly inconspicuous biokinetic mines hidden in the sea water.
Everyone came and went, and Su Jie spared no effort in attacking, and another seven or eight transport ships slowly sank in the mine explosion.
These transport ships were in bad luck when they encountered a ruthless person like Su Jie.
Use a mine with a charge of 700 to 800 kilograms to bomb a transport ship. How can a transport ship withstand such a big firecracker?
One transport ship was broken in half on the spot, with its bow and stern raised high.
The entire bow of a transport ship was blown off, and it plunged straight into the sea like a chopstick. Together with the soldiers in the cabin who had no time to jump into the sea, they sank to the bottom of the sea to keep company with the fish. Some transport ships were directly turned upside down by the bombing, like fish with a white belly, revealing the bottom of the ship covered with oysters, barnacles, and algae. Many soldiers were pressed by the upside-down transport ships, and they were knocked on the ground with loud sounds. There were cries and struggles in the cabin being brought to the bottom of the sea.
An arms and ammunition transport ship was hit by a mine. A small mushroom cloud exploded on the spot, and all kinds of debris were scattered hundreds of meters apart.
boom!
A fleet tanker was hit and a massive amount of fuel leaked out.
Due to the density difference between fuel and water, these leaked fuels, various aviation fuels, gasoline, diesel, and marine heavy oil float on the sea.
The transport ship Bryce and Nadaya were on was also hit by a mine, and they were lucky enough to escape by jumping into the sea.
Fortunately, this is not the cold Atlantic Ocean. They have life jackets in the water and they will not drown for a while. At this time, they are looking around for debris that can provide buoyancy.
But it was at this moment that the leaked fuel oil from the oil tanker flowed here.
Bryce raised his head and saw the various burning debris flying into the sky after the ammunition ship detonated. His eyes could not suppress the look of deep fear.
"Run away, run away quickly."
Without any hesitation, Bryce used all his strength to paddle, and the two of them just swam out of the area covered by the oil.
Burning debris falling from the sky ignited the leaked fuel, forming a moving sea of oily fire on the sea.
The soldiers who jumped into the sea one by one screamed miserably, and were devoured and burned by the fire ignited on the sea surface.
Near the oil tanker, except for some soldiers at the edge who were able to escape, the remaining soldiers were either burned alive or suffocated to death under the water.
Su Jie was so happy that the mines in the storage bag were constantly being consumed.
After playing for twenty minutes and looking at the few mines left, Su Jie turned his attention to several destroyers and frigates that were still launching depth charges.
The Aegis destroyer was a bit far away, and the few shabby little frigates of Zen were not worth wasting energy. In the end, Su Jie set his target on a littoral combat ship, and all the remaining mines rushed towards the littoral combat ship.
The Littoral Combat Ship with a displacement of 3,000 tons ran at a high speed of 45 knots, but it still could not escape the pursuit of the mines.
The last three mines approached and exploded, causing the Littoral Combat Ship to be dismembered on the spot. The crew threw their dumplings into the sea, away from the Littoral Combat Ship that was destined to sink.
After doing all this, Su Jie Shi Shiran put away the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, looked at the Zen navy in the distance who was alerted by the dock, and was coming to help, then turned and left.
When the Zen Navy arrived at the scene belatedly, they saw a scene with numb scalp.
The burning sea, the sunken ships, the soldiers struggling in the water calling for help, and the dense floating corpses on the sea. The waves are washing the corpses towards the beach little by little, forming a hill of corpses.
As time went by, more and more support arrived, and military bases across the United States also dispatched rescue forces as soon as possible.
But the distance was too far. When we arrived, all the damned people were already dead, and the living people were rescued.
This fierce battle on the sea also caused an uproar on the Internet as information spread from all parties.
