Chapter 276 The unstoppable enemy!
The Izumo is an Izumo-class helicopter destroyer built by Japan and is affiliated with the Seventh Fleet of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force. It has a full load displacement of 27,000 tons and a crew of 520.
In the early days of its service, the Izumo was still equipped with ship-borne helicopters, anti-submarine reconnaissance aircraft, minesweeping transport aircraft, etc. However, after being modified by the Eagle Country, the deck and hangar of the Izumo can simultaneously carry 14 F35-type fighters capable of vertical take-off and landing. Therefore, the Izumo was given the title of "quasi-aircraft carrier" under the boasting of the Japanese.
As for the cost of building the Izumo and the subsequent modification costs, together with the fleet of F35 aircraft on board it, it exceeded a full 3 billion green coins.
In addition, since Japan is often garrisoned by the Eagle Country, the Izumo is often invited to be incorporated into the 1st Aircraft Carrier Battle Group of the Eagle Country's Third Fleet to conduct joint exercises and perform anti-submarine operations.
This time it appeared near the west coast of Eagle Country because the Izumo had just completed the latest joint exercise mission and received an order from the Pentagon to join this emergency interception mission, and hurried over along with the Third Fleet's aircraft carrier battle group.
However, upon learning that the target to be intercepted this time was actually a humanoid wearable weapon, Captain Izuru Taro, who was communicating with an Eagle Country observer in the command room on the island, was stunned for the first moment.
"Major Giss, you mean humanoid wearable weapons?"
"I understand it as some kind of exoskeleton, or the kind of mecha seen in movies and TV shows?" Izuru Taro was stunned, looking at the data link from the Hexagon constantly coming to the screen in the command room, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Because in the sonar grid displayed on the three-dimensional combat screen in Izuru Taro's eyes, there was a green light spot so small that it was almost negligible and was heading directly towards the entire 1st Aircraft Carrier Battle Group.
According to the sonar detection, the green dot is about the size of an adult, only slightly larger than an adult tuna.
Such a small goal seems like a joke in Izuru Taro's eyes!
He felt that those American hawks in the Pentagon must be crazy. In order to intercept such a small target, they even sent out the 1st Aircraft Carrier Battle Group.
Major Gis , who came here to monitor the Izumo under the pretext of communicating, looked at the grid on the screen and shrugged noncommittally: "Captain Izuru, your understanding is completely correct. Because according to intelligence, the enemy we are intercepting this time has caused the crash of two F35 fighters half an hour ago."
"If such a powerful pocket enemy is not wearing the latest exoskeleton equipment, I don't think we need to send out the entire Third Fleet."
"Not only did they destroy two F35s, but they also triggered the dispatch of the entire Third Fleet? What kind of enemy is our Izumo facing?" Izuru Taro shuddered when he heard this.
You should know that the Eagle Country's Third Fleet is composed of a total of 15 parts, of which there are as many as 4 aircraft carrier battle groups. Once deployed, it can directly destroy a medium or small country. A small country like Izuru Taro's can only be pinned to the ground in front of such a powerful fleet.
It is precisely because of such powerful combat capability that the Eagle Country’s Third Fleet has been dubbed the “National Destroying Fleet” on the Internet.
Now, in order to encircle such a small target, even the entire Third Fleet has been dispatched. This shows the special nature of this interception operation.
"A real exoskeleton mecha?"
"Is it a special combat weapon that is used in conjunction with the recently popular body-building exercise?"
"Has the flower-growing family's technology reached this level?"
"No! Our Izumo must perform well and cannot lose out in the Combined Fleet. Big Neon on board!" Izuru Taro's eyes flashed, and he kept waving flags and shouting in his heart.
While Major Giss was talking with Captain Izuru Taro, he was looking at the red dots that kept lighting up on the map grid. He recognized that they were the thermal reactions produced by the explosion of a string of interception mines.
At the same time, behind the mine-filled waters, dozens of MK torpedoes were crashing into them, eventually triggering a series of explosions and creating a huge wave on the water.
Even from the island, one could clearly see the huge white waves dozens of kilometers away.
As for the green target on the battle map that was locked by both the sea and the air, it actually successfully passed through the interception network and headed straight for the mixed 1st Aircraft Carrier Battle Group .
All of a sudden, alarm bells began to sound on various ships scattered around, and all ships entered level one combat deployment.
From the deck of the Nimitz-class nuclear-powered aircraft carrier in the center, more than a dozen fighter jets including F35 Thunder and F18 Super Hornet began to take off one after another, dropping air-dropped fish and depth charges into the sea ahead.
Two Ticonderoga-class cruisers equipped with the Aegis system were at the forefront, including three Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers and one Perry-class guided missile frigate, which also turned on their fire control radars throughout the process, began to lock targets with the help of data link information, and launched more than a dozen of the latest air-launched torpedoes.
The two Los Angeles-class attack submarines operating underwater also entered alert mode and fired several MK-type missiles at the target. For a moment, the sea area in front of the 1st Carrier Battle Group became a mess.
After entering the water, various types of fish leave one white wave after another.
Since the Izumo was responsible for anti-submarine missions in the Combined Fleet, it also received orders from the combat command room of the central aircraft carrier. The entire ship began to move forward and stood in front of the central aircraft carrier like a guard. At the same time, the anti-submarine helicopter on board was dispatched.
Taro Izuru was already used to such orders, because the backbones of the Maritime Self-Defense Force members like them had been broken by the two atomic bombs dropped by the Eagle countrymen.
In addition, his country was stationed with troops, and being able to be pulled into the Combined Fleet for exercise operations was already an extremely honorable thing for Izuru Taro. After returning home, he could even brag about it to his colleagues.
Even though he had to push the Izumo to the front of the aircraft carrier to act as a human shield, Izuru Taro had no regrets. Instead, he nodded and bowed to Major Gis, and then gave orders to advance and search.
…
By the time the entire 1st Aircraft Carrier Battle Group's formation was fully deployed, Chen Jue, who was dozens of kilometers away, was lurking at a depth of forty or fifty meters underwater and swimming forward at high speed.
The moment he leaped out of the water and saw the plaster-like flag, Chen Jue made up his mind to go big. It was a hatred that was deep in his bones and could not be explained in a few words.
As for the various types of fish rushing towards him and the depth charges dropped from the planes overhead, Chen Jue did not stop moving forward at all. Instead, when he approached the dense firepower network, he spread out his ten fingers on both hands. With a few waves, golden sword energy shot out from the sea water like laser rays lit up underwater, piercing through all the fish and depth charges and detonating them.
The rumbling sound of thunder echoed in the sea, and bunches of white waves rushed up on the water surface.
Due to the hot properties of the innate qi, the sword energy burned the sea water and made it boil after leaving the body. Large amounts of white smoke and water vapor rolled and boiled from the surface of the sea.
The entire sea surface seemed like a boiling pot!
Lookouts on large warships in the distance simultaneously discovered the strange smoke-filled phenomenon on the sea and reported it to the command center.
The combat command room located on the central aircraft carrier island also received the reminder and began to issue warnings to each ship.
"The goal is to break through the first and second interception areas!"
"The speed has exceeded 85 knots!"
"The diving depth reached 92 meters!"
"The first batch of thirteen submarine-launched torpedoes were all exposed to high heat and detonated prematurely!"
"All 103 depth charges dropped in Area A have exploded and failed..." The aircraft carrier's command room was in chaos, and several uniformed Eagle Country officers were looking at the three-dimensional combat instruction map with serious expressions.
In particular, the top commander of the 1st Carrier Battle Group, Major General Patton, after listening to his subordinates' reports, was staring at the flashing green cursor in the picture with a rare panic in his eyes: "The firepower that can intercept another carrier battle group is completely ineffective? This... What kind of monster is this!"
It is no wonder that he was so panicked, because during the decades that Patton served, the Eagle Country's aircraft carrier battle group was known to be invincible on the entire blue planet. From exercises to combat, it swept across five continents and four oceans without any rivals.
I have never encountered such an invincible enemy!
It has extremely high maneuverability, extremely strong anti-strike capability, and it can be maneuvered in a diving state. All torpedoes and depth charges with anti-submarine capabilities are helpless in front of such an enemy.
It was like giving their 1st Aircraft Carrier Battle Group a dead-end question with no answer!
Faced with such an unstoppable enemy, Patton, as the fleet commander, could not think of how to deal with it for a while, so much so that he stared at the green cursor and was distracted, and he didn't even know how to issue subsequent orders.
Although the combat command room was in a state of chaos and the intelligence soldiers were constantly reporting that the target had successfully broken through the third and fourth interceptions and had even reached the Izumo helicopter destroyer at the forefront of the fleet, Major General Patton had not yet recovered from his shock and distraction.
…
Just when the entire 1st Aircraft Carrier Battle Group was in chaos and at a loss as to what to do with this combat target, Chen Jue, who was constantly diving underwater, finally saw the figure of the Chicken-foot Basin warship.
Since the lower waterline of warships of various countries are painted with orange-red paint, they are easily confused when placed underwater and are extremely difficult to identify.
However, the warships of Jiaobenji have a special feature, that is, they like to hang a huge golden chrysanthemum logo on the bow of the ship, so Chen Jue recognized it at a glance underwater.
"finally found you!"
Chen Jue grinned. After breaking through the layers of intercepting firepower network consisting of depth charges and various torpedoes, he finally reached his targeted target.
I saw him change from a frontal diving posture to a backstroke posture, and then his body continued to float up and began to approach the water surface.
There was also a commotion on the deck of the Izumo above. Following the order of Captain Izuru Taro, various light and heavy machine guns that were originally used for air defense began to fire at the water surface.
Chen Jue, who was floating upwards at an angle, naturally saw the bullet rays whose speed was slowing down as they entered the water. The trajectories left by the bullets underwater appeared to be white and weak.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jue couldn't help but smile: "The Japanese devils still like to fight like this..."
Then, when he swam on his back to the base right in front of the Izumo, Chen Jue raised his right hand vertically, pinched his fingers into a sword gesture and pressed it against the orange-red painted metal base, then suddenly mobilized the martial arts energy in his body.
The next second, a dazzling red-gold energy sword, like a high-power laser weapon, was seen piercing upward from the base of the bow of the Izumo, extending more than fifty meters, and extending directly from the bow deck of the Izumo!
The crew members of the Izumo on duty on the deck, after seeing the sudden red-gold energy lightsaber, all opened their eyes and mouths in disbelief, mumbling something like "Kakuzu Made" and "Yamadie". Because in their eyes, the energy beam extending from the deck was like a laser beam with a high temperature, melting a hole in the metal deck!
Chen Jue, who was sticking to the bottom of the ship underwater, released a burst of energy under his feet, dragging the long sword of energy, and rushed from the bow to the stern at high speed.
As Chen Jue swam at such a high speed, the more than 50-meter-long sword of energy condensed in his fingers made a swish sound and smoothly cut the entire Izumo into two halves from beginning to end!
