At this moment, Colonel Dermot hated the people who designed and built the warships so badly! Since he was equipped with a power system of up to 100,000 axle horsepower, why can't he increase the speed a little? For example, is it very difficult to reach 36 knots?

Obviously, this problem cannot be solved by shouting a few times. Most Americans who have always been awesome in power systems are not very cheap in the shape and design of the hull. Anyway, the power is enough, so you can run anything!

But they probably never thought that they would encounter such a strange situation today!

So the "Helena" seemed like a drunk strong man, madly trying to get rid of the torpedo hiding under the sea while running wildly. But no matter how they tossed, the gradually approaching sonar signal firmly bit his butt and did not relax!

The US military on the entire warship is going crazy! Hell, how could there be such a difficult guy in the world?! They have tried their best to avoid it. Generally speaking, even audio-guided torpedoes or magnetic torpedoes can be thrown away, but why is that guy still there?!

No one in the US military can answer this question! They don’t know that there is a technology called water sound communication, which can control weapons that can use wireless signals to control shallow water or fast-moving water surfaces, which is slightly worse than line-guided torpedoes, but at a distance of less than twenty kilometers, it is enough to ensure that the torpedoes are obedient.

On the "Yingzhou", Tesla, who was not very concerned about the battle, glanced at the screen. A technical officer was staring at the shining signal with his eyes. He gently held the operating handle with one hand, carefully controlling the speed and course of the torpedo. He chased the "Helena" a few hundred meters away and did not give up, but he did not accelerate directly and rush forward and exploded the other party. His behavior was like a cat playing with a mouse. It was so bad that it was outrageous!

The people on the ship were probably almost driven crazy? The old Tesla man was soft-hearted and shook his head and sighed: "You might as well blow them up and sink them directly, better than such torture! It's so cruel..."

Zhu Bin laughed and said, "I don't mean to kill them for the time being. If not, how can I force out all the true potential of the warship?"

His reason is very sufficient and powerful. Yes, if you really want to kill the opponent, you don’t even need expensive torpedoes. With a shell-breaking bomb, you can easily penetrate the entire warship’s armor and hit the power bay or ammunition depot directly. The power of a few dozen kilograms of standard ** is not to mention that it can blow the warship into two pieces, it will definitely destroy most of the power. If it triggers a death bomb, then it will be stopped.

The bombardment just now was just an proof of the power of the attack weapon of such warships. It really depends on more detailed performance data. Using a torpedo as a tool to press forward step by step is nothing more than a means!

However, as the passive response, the Americans on the "Helena" were sad! Colonel Dermot's initial anger lasted not long, and the command ship rushed left and right and did not get rid of the pursuit. Despair and despair flashed in his mind for a moment, but it was just a flash of thought. He suddenly came back to his senses.

No matter how the sonar urged the alarm, the commander of navigation, gunman and other officers were all staring with their eyes wide open and sweating, waiting for him to make a decision. Colonel Dermott didn't speak for three minutes. Just when his subordinates were about to hold on, he suddenly laughed!

This smile almost scared the officers who followed him. Could it be that the captain was so angry that he was crazy?

Think about it, that won’t be. The US Navy is proud and confident, even if it sinks in battle. That’s their fate. A mental breakdown won’t happen. Then there is only one possibility, does he have a way?

Colonel Dermot was very clear about the importance of stabilizing the morale of the army in such dangerous situations, and immediately expressed his thoughts: "Gentlemen! That friend who was hiding in the dark is joking with us! He did not want to sink the warship! Now, follow my orders, reduce the speed to 20 knots, turn right forty-five degrees!"

A group of officers were shocked and hurriedly reminded: "Col. We may be hit by torpedoes at any time! Is it too dangerous to slow down now?"

"Execute the order!" Colonel Dermot scolded seriously. The captain's order was not easy to question!

The "Helena" slowed down slowly with the fear of the US military. After turning right again, he almost ran to the starting direction and direction. The sonar was surprised to find that the pursuit sound had slowed down simultaneously!

"God! This is a miracle!"

A warm cheer sounded in the command room, and everyone felt the joy of surviving the disaster. Only then did they realize that at some point, sweating had already soaked their military uniforms!

Colonel Dermot's face became even worse. He couldn't help but pinch his fists and waved hard at the night outside: "Damn guys! Do you just look down on this? Even if you fight happily!"

Then he ordered a message to be sent on the public channel: "Mysterious friend, please stop this boring behavior immediately!"

After hearing this, Zhu Bin sighed regretfully: "It seems that the Americans are reacting very quickly! Well, I won't play with them anymore and detonate the torpedo!"

The operator suddenly pressed the button and saw a large area of ​​sea bulging upwards about five hundred meters away from the Helena, as if the prehistoric giant beast was raising its backbone. Thousands of tons of sea water were bulging out like a hill, forming a platform with a diameter of two or three hundred meters!

The next moment, a thick water column with a diameter of dozens of meters suddenly jumped up from the center, accompanied by some fire, and a "boom" loudly rushed to the sky hundreds of meters high. For a moment, a giant pillar stood up!

The surging shock wave swept along the sea and instantly swept the warship. The US military in the clearance deck bunker and turret seemed to be facing a 18-level typhoon. It felt like the warship was shocked suddenly. Then a large area of ​​water pounced down from the sky, washing the warship from head to toe, and a huge force pushed it hard from behind the butt, causing hundreds of crew members to fall into a staggering place!

"My God! The terrible power of the explosion!" Many American soldiers could not help but draw crosses on their chests when they saw this scene with their own eyes, and some rookies even exclaimed!

If such a violent explosion occurs next to or below the warship, it will not be completely destroyed, but it will almost make the Helena disabled on the spot! And these people, hundreds of people were killed or injured, which is a foregone conclusion!

The US military, who didn't know the inside story, secretly thanked that its maneuvering effect was good enough and got rid of such a dangerous attack. Captain Dermot and the people from the radar communications department knew that it should be that the other party deliberately put them a code! Otherwise, the torpedo might send them to heaven at any time!

Colonel Dermot was silent for a while with a gloomy face, and his voice was low: "Give power to the fleet! We met a very interesting friend! Please be careful!"

He said humorously, but when the message was sent out, it must be a repeated reminder of how dangerous the hidden guy was. I hope that the commanders of the fleet would not take it lightly and suffer a great loss!

"Then will we continue to pursue?"

"Why not!" Colonel Dermott's cheeks twitched, and anger flashed in his eyes. "I must see with my own eyes what kind of guy is causing us trouble!"

Being so unknown to others is a very shameful and humiliating! If he doesn't find the scene back, he will probably live unhappy in the second half of his life.

The "Helena" continued to sweep the sea in circles. The SG radar was powered up, and I didn't care whether it would burn it for too long. As long as the hateful guy was found, everything was worth it!

The signal they sent was quickly responded, and the Fleet Command instructed to continue searching. If found out, take a decisive and severe strike! The dignity of the US Navy cannot be provoked. Since the other party has taken the initiative, don’t blame the US military for being rude!

Well, it's so domineering. In fact, it's understandable that this is a chaotic era. It's a good time for soldiers to make achievements. Americans have been watching the fun outside for a long time to end up in person. They don't care who they are fighting with.

At this time, in the southern part of the Hawaiian Islands, the aircraft carrier fleet led by General Halsey had been traveling continuously for more than ten hours. However, the overall speed was really painful, and it was only when it reached the east of Johnston Island.

After receiving the alarm telegram from the "Helena", they had accelerated as much as possible, but they could not start from Pearl Harbor, even in a straight line distance. The waters of Wake Island are close to 2,000 nautical miles. The Pacific Fleet cannot exceed 21 knots. They have to run for more than five days to arrive! If the other party really takes action, they may not be able to catch even a piece of wood board when they arrive.

General Halsey wished that all warships would grow wings faster, but unfortunately, this was obviously impossible. Now he hated those old battleships, which occupied a huge number of tonnage, had a slow speed and low range. In real naval battles, they had become accumulating. The steel targets that could be sent to the seabed with just a few bombs were all dragging their feet!

When Colonel Dermot's follow-up telegram was sent, General Halsey couldn't help but take a breath. After exchanging some opinions with Commander Hart, he immediately ordered the fleet to be divided into two parts, forming a 32-knit fast fleet with an aircraft carrier, three cruisers and six destroyers to set out first, and rushed to the target waters as fast as possible to rescue the siege. The other ships acted as the rear of the Second Squadron, and moved forward steadily while ensuring the tight seal of the entire sea!

At the same time, high-power radar stations deployed in Wake Island, Johnston Island, Ryan Islands and Hawaii are all turned on, and the air patrol aircraft and reconnaissance aircraft can calculate as much as possible. In short, the potential enemy must be treated in a warlike manner.

There is no other reason, it is Zhu Bin's deliberate teasing method that made the Americans angry!

"No one has ever dared to do such a thing to the US Navy! It's so rampant! Do they really think that we lack the determination to fight?"

General Halsey is an old-fashioned navy. He is nicknamed "Bully", never afraid of all challenges. At the same time, he has the initiative to seek war. His contempt for the Eastern countries has made him look down on those backward yellow-skinned dwarfs. This time, he ordered him to lead the team out to engage in friction. The style of those people above him is very unhappy.

In Halsey's view, since it is a war, don't be hesitant. If you want to get benefits, don't expect the total number to wander around the periphery. That is what the timid jackals and jackals do, and it does not conform to the demeanor of a strong America. The politicians who are determined to make money are simply unreliable. The future of the United States still depends on the navy's fighting hand-to-hand combat.

Today, Zhu Bin's accident popped up but aroused his wildness and anger. This kind of sneaky teasing and showing off was simply annoying than killing several of their main battleships directly. The above order was immediately thrown away by General Halsey. Now he just wants to catch that guy, stuff it into the gunboat of the battleship, and directly kill the scum!

His aide Mills Browning patiently comforted him: "William, I feel that things are not that simple! Although I am not sure who is making trouble at the moment, it is certain that there are too few people who have such courage and technical ability, and maybe even Germans may! If you make good use of it, you may not be able to create a subtle opportunity to allow the United States to participate in the global pattern division."

This is implicit, but it is actually very obvious. The United States does not participate in the war because the war is not fierce enough, especially the strange sit-in war in Europe, and Britain and the United States have made all the ugly things. The Americans have no excuses to start. For politicians, a perfect excuse and the best time to start, but for soldiers, the sooner the better!

That's what it is today. If you really aim to have an unprecedentedly powerful main warship with too high value of interests, then it will be killed by the Americans, or it may cause great losses to the US Navy. President Roosevelt has enough reason to convince Congress to clearly participate in the war. Everyone knows that this time will be a redefinition and division of the world's pattern. The sooner you participate, the greater the benefits you will get!

Especially soldiers, in the war, they are promoted quickly, make more money, and have relevant interests. They cannot hesitate!

General Halsey certainly understood the suggestions of his chief aide. As a soldier, he hated politics and wanted to fight happily according to his own ideas. Of course, as the protagonist who caused the entire big change, he didn't mind doing it once.

Waving his hand, he said firmly: "You can't make a mistake! If the Germans have that ability, they will not be killed. The 'Earl Spee' will be killed! In the navy, except for the good submarines, they are all very bad! They must be Chinese! Only they will make the arrogant Japanese dwarfs defeated! And from all the signs, the Chinese seem to be restless! They are not satisfied with defeating Japan. The Pacific region will have a greater fun and good look!"

Mills Browning smiled and nodded. It would be fine if the general understood what he meant. The Chinese, if the attitude of attacking and expansion, the United States would not sit idly by. Then, General Halsey, as the forehand, will leave a glorious page in history.

The fast fleet ran forward day and night, and more than a thousand nautical miles away, the "Yingzhou" began a new round of tossing.

After completing the teasing and reconnaissance of the "Helena", the warship calmly threw away the poor guy and walked the other way. Two hours later, he encountered the first American submarine rushing for assistance. Zhu Bin commanded the warship to catch the other party for an hour of hide-and-seeking experience. After testing part of the performance level of the boat, he suddenly shot out a flare and exposed the poor guy to the water, which scared the other party to sink immediately!

This is the beginning. The "Yingzhou" then used anti-submarine rockets to calculate the distance from front, back and left and right to chase them. Each time they almost hit. The power of the explosion was not enough to directly blow up, but it caused a certain amount of damage and violent shock. The unbearable submarine went crazy and turned around and fired eight torpedoes in one breath, but was calmly avoided, without any damage.

The reminder of "Helena" has also arrived. When the submarine saw that it was really hopeless, it was impossible to stay on the water and stay on the surface and not dive. The continuous anti-submarine rocket explosions made many cracks in its shell. If it was not possible to sink the bottom in deep diving, it would not be able to escape, hide, and surrender. The angry captain climbed the bridge and held the tweeter and cursed for a long time. As a result, he didn't even see the other party clearly, and suddenly fell silent.

A few hours later, a destroyer appeared in the target's field of view. It was a ship that belonged to the same "Mahan class" as the "Casin". It is the latest among the US destroyers, fast and well-equipped. Although there is no radar or something, it finally has heavy torpedoes against sea anti-submarines, three quadruple 533mm torpedo launchers, and a powerful sea-search sonar system. It is an ordinary expert.

But it’s a pity that their luck was too bad. They met their perverted opponent. The "Yingzhou" quickly approached and gave it a flare, and then teased and tossed it. This destroyer with a speed of 36.5 knots almost broke its waist due to rapid maneuvering. If it weren’t for the dawn, it would have to struggle for a while!

A series of tosses were like poking a hornet's nest! All the American ships cruising in this water rushed here like crazy. They realized that this guy was not sailing normally or provoking normally. He was just using the American naval ship as fun. It was intolerable!

Almost all the Ninth Cruise Fleet under the "Helena" rushed over, and more than a dozen destroyers and submarines also rushed in. After determining an approximate position based on the sea where the "Yingzhou" was infested, the huge encirclement circle was tightly contracted. Especially in the early morning, all carrier-based aircraft and seaplanes were dispatched in full swing, and a intensive search was carried out with Wake Island as the center. The difference is that each aircraft carried a bomb this time. As long as the target was found, it would be killed!
Chapter completed!
