The fleet is still sailing. There is no doubt about the endurance of the aircraft carrier fleet. As long as they are willing, they can rush directly to their destination without stopping. The supplies of the supply ship are enough for them to sail for several months and reach any place ordered by them. Location, of course, the Eagle will not be like this. This is not a combat raid, so there is no need.
According to this plan, they will pass through South America, cross the Atlantic Ocean, go around the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, then cross the Indian Ocean, pass through the Strait of Malacca, and reach their destination. Along the way, they will let the whole world see the invincible fleet. And can't bear the thought of resisting.
As the flagship, the Eagle sails at the front of the fleet. Of course, there are two underwater attack submarines in front of it to guide it. To eliminate the possibility of ambush by underwater enemy submarines, more Ahead is an early warning aircraft clearing the way. It wants to detect whether there are any abnormalities on the route and nearby and transmit the news back to the flagship as soon as possible.
A variety of fighter planes are fixed on the Eagle's broad flight deck. Except for a few duty officers, other soldiers and officers are resting in the warehouse. But as long as the alarm bell sounds, the well-trained soldiers will immediately Appearing at the combat post, this is the back garden of the bald eagle. This situation cannot happen, even if it is not far away from the territory of the country people, a not-so-tall figure is holding a pipe, standing on the deck, overlooking the sea , next to him was a young naval officer.
Standing on the deck with a pipe in his mouth was Rear Admiral Webster, the commander-in-chief of the fleet. He looked at the shadowy aircraft carrier formation and then saw the faint lights in the distance. He knew that these were merchant ships and cargo ships heading towards him. Showing respect, walking around from a distance, a sense of pride like that of an imperial general arose spontaneously.
“The invincible navy of the great United States, the most glorious navy on this blue planet.”
“Little guys, this glory also belongs to you, feel it well, invincibility is lonely ”
“General, the wind and waves on the deck are too strong. You should go to the command room. There will be no accidents in this area. You can rest assured that the fleet will pass through Guba Offshore tomorrow morning. If you have If you are interested, we can organize a parade to let these country people feel the majesty of the great United States."
"Good idea!" The general was very satisfied with the adjutant's suggestion. "It's time to let them feel our majesty. Damn country people, they always ignore our will. This must not be tolerated."
"What is the situation of each ship now?"
"General Webster, the ships just reported a routine report that everything is normal, and the forward early warning aircraft also indicated that everything is normal."
The general took a puff from his pipe, "Although there is no danger, as a great naval soldier, , we must operate strictly according to the requirements and maintain sufficient vigilance. Only in this way can our great navy maintain its glory forever."
"As you wish, General, all ships are now strictly in accordance with your requirements. In execution."
The officer's answer satisfied the general, "It has been almost twelve hours since we left the base."
"Yes, Your Excellency, we have left the port now, normally. The voyage lasted eleven hours and forty-two minutes, the fleet speed was twenty-two knots, and everything was normal.”
General Webster is the commander of the U.S. aircraft carrier group. He is a rear admiral and graduated from the Naval Academy. He has received specialized flight training, served in the Naval Station Attack Squadron, served as a naval flight instructor, participated in World War II, and served as an aircraft carrier commander many times. He is rich in experience. He has traveled this route many times.
"Notify all navigation units that we will pass through the Baiyi Sea Area in a few hours. They all know that this damn area is always naughty sometimes, making these little bastards keep an eye on us. The flagship light signal keeps the radio open, communicates regularly, and reports the position and speed regularly. "
The night falls, the sea is covered by a deep blue-black gauze, and the scattered moonlight does not cast any light on the sea. As a result, this place is far away from the coastline, and the lighthouse is no longer visible. A jet ski is like a ghost in the dark night, quietly shuttling through this vast land.
The low hum of the engine is particularly powerful in the quiet night. Every acceleration is accompanied by a gentle splash of water, and then quickly merges into the boundless darkness.
Zhu Xuefeng's figure looms in the ups and downs of the waves, like a fearless warrior, challenging the depth of the night and the vastness of the sea.
The waves kept beating against the jet skis, and the occasional low cry of dolphins or whales could be heard in the distance. They seemed to be curiously observing the uninvited guests. The sea water and sea breeze that hit the face had a slightly salty smell, which made this night trip very special. The trip adds a bit of adventure.
If there were a documentary recording this moment, it would definitely make countless people marvel at the fearless warrior, with his cool appearance, fighting bravely against the ocean.
But only the person involved, Zhu Xuefeng, understood the hardship and pain behind this cool appearance. In order to avoid the patrols of the Coast Guard, he had to be towed by Big Hui to sail underwater for the first half of the journey, and he had a special towing device. The auxiliary equipment is not too painful.
Under the guidance of the Xiao Hui team who was tracking the fleet, they finally caught up with the fleet as they wished. Because it was daytime, the number of merchant ships and freighters on the waterway was beyond Zhu Xuefeng's expectation. He had no choice but to let Big Hui They continued to be pulled along the sea level to avoid being exposed. They were dragged underwater by dolphins for more than eight hours. Even Zhu Xuefeng's physical condition was a bit too much. The cold seawater kept taking away the energy in the body. In order to maintain The body temperature needs to be relieved after leaving the sea water for a while.
After eight hours of continuous high-speed shuttle in the sea, not to mention Zhu Xuefeng, even the darling of the sea, the strengthened Big Hui was tired. After dragging his master to chase the fleet for a long time, Big Hui also conveyed his fatigue and hungry mood, but they could not be allowed to hunt at this time. Seeing that it was getting dark, the visibility had dropped significantly, and the chance of being discovered by the cargo ship was negligible, Zhu Xuefeng asked the big gray to stop and loosened it.
"Young man, follow me and keep persevering. Let's find something to eat after finishing the work." There was no food for dolphins to enjoy in the cleared space. Zhu Xuefeng comforted Da Hui while eating simply.
He turned around and got on the jet ski, which relieved Big Hui's burden. At the same time, he relaxed for a while, but the waves that hit his head quickly made Zhu Xuefeng realize that riding this thing was more painful than being pulled by Big Hui. The waves seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, constantly beating Zhu Xuefeng's body. Even if his body was covered with dark water, it could not provide any protection against the turbulent waves of the sea.
His face and body were numb from being beaten by the waves. Zhu Xuefeng tried his best to grasp the direction and contacted Xiao Hui who was following him. Xiao Hui sent him information about the fleet, but it was mixed with an inexplicable emotion. They are also hungry. Although they are not chasing the fleet at high speed like Big Hui, and they are not towing heavy loads, the dolphins leading a small team have been following for more than ten hours, so they must be tired.
From the intelligence sent by Xiao Hui, Zhu Xuefeng already knew that the aircraft carrier formation in front had deployed underwater attack submarines as a reconnaissance and anti-submarine defense circle. Xiao Hui did not know about the early warning aircraft flying in the sky, but Zhu Xuefeng could predict it.
Frigates and destroyers are distributed in a diamond shape around the aircraft carrier. Behind the formation is the supply fleet. There are two underwater submarines behind the supply ship. They should be to prevent the enemy from being attacked underwater from behind. The left and right wings of the fleet Each has an attack submarine lurking.
The layout of the entire fleet is very reasonable and the defense is very tight. It takes into account anti-submarine warfare, air defense warfare and the attack on enemy targets on the surface. It can also perform fire support and seize sea power. It is indeed a maritime fortress.
In the dark night, the fleet continued to move forward. Zhu Xuefeng followed with difficulty, not daring to get too close. This jet ski used a lot of metal. If you get too close, there is a high probability that it will be hit by the fleet. The radar found that Zhu Xuefeng only dared to follow him thirty nautical miles away.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and the wind and waves seem to be getting bigger and bigger. Xiao Hui once again conveys an uneasy mood. Zhu Xuefeng can't understand it. After calculating the time, he should be very close to the area he expected. , raised his wrist to look at the time. The waterproof luminous watch showed that it was close to midnight, and the pointer had pointed to 11:48. It had been more than thirteen hours since he had been in the water.
Seeing the compass in his hand start to spin around, Zhu Xuefeng realized that he should have entered the Bermuda Triangle in later generations. There are countless legends circulating in this mysterious sea area. If nothing else, this legend Another more exciting one will be added. Zhu Xuefeng cheered up, stopped the jet ski, called Dahui, put an auxiliary traction on it again, put away the jet ski, and pointed forward.
"Big Hui, keep up with the submarine in front!"
If God helps, the waves that were already quite big just now will no longer make a fuss. After a long time, it turned into huge waves. The huge waves, which were several meters high, had little impact on Dahui's stealth, but the fleet on the sea was greatly affected.
"General, the wind and waves have become stronger, it seems that there are some abnormalities in the magnetic field, and the radio station has also been subject to some interference. The situation seems to be different from the information from the weather station."
Facing the people who hurried in to report Officer on duty, the general said with a smile.
“Young man, don’t panic, the sea is like this, and the climate is constantly changing. It’s not something you can predict by checking the shutters or looking at the cloud map. This sea area is like this. Let everyone pay close attention to the lights of the flagship. Signal, go ahead, sail at twenty-five knots, maintain formation, and pass through this sea area quickly.”
"Yes, Your Excellency, General." The officer on duty was deeply impressed by General Ruoding's command. He was so excited that he went to issue an order, but was stopped by the General.
"The radar monitors the nearby sea at all times, keep a safe distance between the fleets, go, my little boy."
The captain of the last two underwater submarines in the fleet is looking down Ask about the situation.
"Lieutenant Wood, the waves on the sea are too strong now. The submarine dived to a hundred meters underwater and turned on sonar to scan the nearby area."
"Captain, this will prevent us from observing The light signal of the flagship. "
"Stupid, we are not a ship. We have sonar, so we can't fall behind. Let those delicate ship soldiers be baptized by the storm, and we dive."
< br>"Yes!" Like this submarine, the six submarines in the fleet encountered the big waves that changed their faces and immediately chose to dive. They are submarines. With this advantage, there is no need to fight hard on the sea. .
These are upgraded versions of the Seawolf-class submarines, with powerful anti-ship and anti-submarine capabilities and the ability to escort aircraft carrier battle groups. Two of them are the latest nuclear-powered submarines, carrying traditional weapons. At the same time, it also carries long-range missiles, but it is unwilling to withstand the baptism of this huge wave.
"Captain, this should be the waters of Bermuda."
"Yes, my boy, this is the mysterious Bermuda. Don't worry, let those legends go to hell. It’s a lie. Now, countless ships pass through this sea area every day. Who has seen the legendary scene?”
The captain has traveled through this sea area many times and has heard some legends, but he doesn't believe them at all.
“Report to the captain, the sonar scan has detected a school of fish approaching quickly. Looking at the reflected signal from the target, it may be a pod of dolphins.”
“How many?”
“ The number of targets is eight. "
"This is good news. Look at other areas."
The captain seemed a little excited. The Bald Eagle Navy likes these elves very much. Many submarines are named after marine creatures. For example, the Barracuda-class submarines, the Nautilus, and the Narwhal-class submarines are all named after marine creatures.
This is not only a tribute to the diversity of marine life, but also a metaphor for the performance of submarines, suggesting that these submarines are as flexible as marine life and capable of amazing speed.
These dolphins are mascots for submarine soldiers. Encountering them means good luck. In fact, as long as the fleet passes by, a large number of fish will often appear in the wake, and dolphins will naturally not It is very common to miss such a good hunting opportunity, but submarine soldiers still firmly believe that this will bring good luck to the submarine.
For Zhu Xuefeng, this was indeed good luck. The submarine in front was not deep enough for him to hold his breath and approach. Under the tug of Big Hui, he quickly approached the submarine. There was no trace in the submarine. Beware, when Zhu Xuefeng's big hand caressed the submarine, the huge guy disappeared out of thin air, and a hole instantly appeared on the bottom of the sea. The collapsed seawater caused a whirlpool to appear very quickly. Fortunately, Zhu Xuefeng was prepared, and Big Hui took him to escape quickly.
Soon, another submarine also stopped quietly in the space, and everyone fell into a coma for the first time.
Resurfacing again, Zhu Xuefeng waved his fist in the darkness. It was done. There was no problem with the idea. All that was left was to save the poor lamb who was still fighting the storm in the stormy waves. Under the cover of night, he patrolled the outside. The two submarines disappeared again, and the fleet seemed to have found nothing.
The next step is to save the surrounding frigates and destroyers. Zhu Xuefeng is asking Xiao Hui to lead a team to monitor the merchant ships and freighters that may be passing by from a distance. Da Hui takes him and uses the night to quickly navigate the turbulent waves. Approach the frigate.
An urgent knock on the door made General Zheng very dissatisfied. Today's officers have never experienced war and are too restless.
"Come in, my little cutie, why are you disturbing an old man's rest at this time."
The officer on duty hurried in, seeming a little nervous.
"Report to the General that all four submarines on the left, right and rear have lost contact." (End of Chapter)
