Chapter 496 A Critical Moment
"You!" Osama raised his gun and wanted to use his weapon to shoot all the Americans in front of him, but at the same time, the other party also took out a gun.
"Gazhizhi." At this moment, the sound of metal rubbing against metal attracted their attention.
The Soviet submarine counterattack began.
"Fill all ballast tanks with seawater." Just after the American helicopter took away the wounded, the lookout on the command tower reported the situation to the lower levels, so Nirgeyev gave the order without any hesitation.
Americans want to lift themselves up? Can they do it?
Following Nirgeyev's order, seawater was refilled into the submarine's ballast tank. As the buoyancy decreased, the huge submarine began to press down little by little.
At the same time, the Los Angeles-class submarine of the United States wanted to continue to surface. In this way, the two submarines began to compete on the water like bulls.
The position that was stuck just now is now stuck even tighter, and accidents can happen at any time!
This is dangerous for Soviet submarines, because the rear of the 949-class submarine is where the nuclear reactor is located! However, Nilgayev is confident that the strength there is also the highest in the entire submarine!
Push the Americans back into the sea!
This is a head-on battle! Before coming out of the water, Nilgayev had already thought of a countermeasure. Since he was dragging the other side in the sea, now that he is on the surface, it is the same! Nothing else to compare, just displacement!
Amid the creaking sounds, the American submariners felt something was wrong, because their submarine was slowly sinking! When the waves hit their feet, they gave up the confrontation with Osama and ran back quickly! The sea water was about to flood!
However, before they could run back into the submarine, the hatch had already closed!
Nonsense, the confrontation between the two sides, the Los Angeles class has completely failed. The Los Angeles class still wanted to pry up the butt of the 949 class to expose the anus, but now, it was sat down by Yin Zuo Lian!
Leaving the hatch wide open is a big taboo. In the history of submarines, there have been terrible accidents where submarines sank because the hatch was forgotten to be closed during diving. But now, when the people inside found that their submarine was sinking, they immediately closed the hatch!
As for the people outside, leave them to the helicopter above!
Looking at this group of stupid American submarine soldiers, Osama put the AK rifle on his back with satisfaction, then jumped over there and jumped onto his own submarine. With the help of special shoes, he could firmly fix himself on his own submarine and would not fall into the sea.
"Have a nice swim!" Osama took a last look at the unfortunate submarine soldiers before jumping back into his own cabin. At this moment, the sea water had already reached their knees, and they were still standing on the Los Angeles-class submarine, alone and helpless.
The hatch of the rear cabin was closed, leaving only the bathtub in the command tower, where the submarine soldiers were on duty.
The Los Angeles-class submarine was forcibly pushed underwater, and the hull of the 949-class submarine only had half a meter of height left before it could be fully submerged in the water, and at this moment, the dive stopped.
"It seems that the reserve buoyancy of the Los Angeles class is good." Captain Nirgeyev said in the 949-class submarine.
Even though their ballast tanks were already filled with seawater, the Los Angeles class still had its ballast tanks empty. This way, the buoyancy and gravity of the two combined bodies were balanced, preventing the 949 class from completely diving.
"The Americans are waiting for their chance," said Pulichev. "The time to test us is coming soon."
Like a stubborn bull, the Americans want to push themselves up and are of course waiting for an opportunity. This opportunity is the American formation on the surface of the water!
"Satellite intelligence indicates that the American aircraft carrier formation is only a hundred kilometers away from us," the first mate reported.
The American aircraft carrier fleet has been catching up quickly, and now it is only a hundred kilometers away!
"Lookout report: Six American S-3 anti-submarine aircraft spotted."
"American helicopters are rescuing their crew members who fell into the water."
"Two cars, full speed." Nirgeyev gave the order.
Full speed ahead! Since the Americans are not trustworthy, there is no need to blame us for our dirty tricks!
The propeller at the tail began to spin violently, driving the 16,000-ton 949-class and the 7,000-ton Los Angeles-class to accelerate forward. The few American submarine soldiers who were still on the Los Angeles-class submarine could not withstand the acceleration and all fell into the sea with a splash!
This acceleration made the rescue efforts of the American helicopters go to waste. Saving the crew in the sea is obviously much more difficult than saving the crew on the submarine! There were originally two helicopters that wanted to join the attack on the 949 class, but now they could only turn to rescue the crew members who fell into the water.
"Full left rudder." What will happen to the Los Angeles submarine behind is no longer his business! After accelerating, the 949-class submarine made a sharp turn.
The bow of the boat is already heading towards the direction of the US aircraft carrier formation!
"Soviet submarine in front, please stop moving immediately and assist us in the rescue!" A voice came from a loud speaker on a helicopter above.
"Please stop moving forward immediately, otherwise there will be disastrous consequences. Please do not challenge the bottom line of our U.S. Navy!"
The Americans are really confident! Nirgeyev said: "Use satellite data to set the launch parameters for the missiles, and open all the P700 missile hatches!"
Americans, do you really think I'm afraid of you?
"Yes." Deputy Captain Pulchev carried out his order without any objection.
The 949-class submarine was originally designed to attack the American aircraft carrier. Although it did not receive the order to start the war from its superiors, now that its submarine is being chased and intercepted by the Americans, and the Americans are treacherous, the conditions have been fully met! Now it is just a confrontation, but if the Americans dare to throw a torpedo down, we will immediately ignite it! At such a close distance, even if the American torpedoes can only fire five or six missiles before hitting us, we can still destroy the American aircraft carrier! Just now, it started at full speed and turned left to aim at the Americans head-on!
Come on, come on! The P700 missile has a speed of 1.6 Mach at low altitude, and a distance of 100 kilometers only takes three minutes!
As the order was issued, the six missile launch covers on each side of the 949-class submarine were all opened, revealing the warheads of 24 P700 missiles arranged at an angle! The separate red launch cover was also opened!
