141: 10vs1000000
The sudden disappearance of the Challenger's fleet and aircraft group left them without a target.
Their millions of combat power had nowhere to be unleashed.
"Bomb them!"
Commander Yamamoto ordered a direct and extremely violent bombardment of the sea surface, but it only stirred up spray after spray.
These 955-type nuclear submarines can dive to a depth of a thousand meters, so explosions on the surface had no effect whatsoever.
"Baka! Fire torpedoes!"
"Lock onto their positions!"
The Great Harmony's fleet was equipped with torpedo devices, and in an instant, countless torpedoes plunged directly into the seabed.
However, the torpedoes couldn't even reach the location where the north wind god 955-type strategic nuclear submarines were docked, and they exploded directly after diving less than a hundred meters underwater.
The Great Harmony's torpedo technology was simply too poor.
According to Lin Ye's history of Azure Star in his previous life, torpedoes were invented in the mid-19th century, but even by the S2 period, their combat effectiveness was very low, still limited to attacking surface ships.
It wasn't until the end of the 20th century that several major powers invented anti-submarine torpedoes capable of attacking underwater units.
After the 21st century, the Dragon Country's Type 11 torpedo and Eagle Country's MK-50 anti-submarine torpedo could dive to a depth of a thousand meters, with a range even greater than 20km.
If these torpedoes were used against the north wind god 955-type nuclear submarines, there would be a complete chance to annihilate them all!
But these... the Great Harmony did not possess them, because these were products that could only be born through nearly a hundred years of development.
With the Great Harmony's current torpedo technology, as long as the 955-type nuclear submarines dived deep enough, they couldn't even hit them.
To a certain extent, the 955-type nuclear submarines facing these low-level warships completely had a "body-protecting golden shield."
Only when the 955-type nuclear submarines surfaced from the water would the Great Harmony's fleet have a chance to engage them.
There was no initiative or countermeasure whatsoever.
...
One wave of bombardment, utterly useless, and a waste of ammunition.
Commander Yamamoto's face turned purple with rage, just about to curse.
Splash!
Ten nuclear submarines suddenly resurfaced from ten different locations a hundred kilometers away, directly widening the distance from the Great Harmony's fleet.
Then came another unexpected long-range missile strike.
The targets were very clear: the outermost units of the fleet and aircraft group.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Amidst the explosions of fire.
Many of the Great Harmony's warships and South Korea's aircraft were hit again.
These nuclear submarines were not greedy; after destroying dozens of units in one go, they immediately submerged again.
The entire process highlighted guerrilla tactics, emphasizing knowing when to quit while ahead.
"Damn it! When these devils surfaced, why didn't we attack directly!" Commander Yamamoto roared, sending signals to all warships via radio.
"We have five hundred thousand warships; can't we even hit Mao Xiong Country's submarines?"
On the radio, the commanders of other ships could only complain resentfully.
"Commander Yamamoto, there's nothing we can do."
"These few submarines from Mao Xiong Country are too strange; they're fast and have a long range. They suddenly appear from unknown positions, and we can't react at all."
Commander Yamamoto was utterly disgusted.
If one had to describe this feeling, it was somewhat like playing whack-a-mole.
But it had to be said, these submarines only surfaced from a distance to fire a few shots, then immediately submerged. That was truly unsolvable.
Let alone five hundred thousand warships, even five million warships would be toyed with by ten submarines at this moment.
They never hit too many at once, just dozens of units per strike.
It was a game of slowly bleeding them dry, like a small knife to the throat.
If time allowed and ammunition was sufficient, theoretically, there truly was a chance to wear down all the warships and aircraft.
"Is this Mao Xiong Country's combat power? Is this Lin Ye's setting?!"
"I thought it would be so powerful; now it seems like nothing but petty tricks!"
"If you have the guts, confront my Great Harmony army head-on!"
Commander Yamamoto's words now were naturally impotent rage.
The spectators watching the instance live saw it all; this was not some petty trick, but clearly a technologicalRolling.
If it weren't for this comprehensive military technological superiority, ten submarines would have been directly crushed by the combined forces of the Eastern Island and the Korean Peninsula long ago, and such a situation would not exist.
Ten tiny submarines moved around the massive fleet as if in an uninhabited land, deftly and flexibly weaving in and out.
The spectators were all shocked by this bizarre scene.
"Mao Xiong Country's submarine! Although its combat power is not comparable to an Aircraft Carrier, its maneuverability is truly top-notch!"
"What the hell kind of first battle is this for the Allied forces? It's too pathetic."
"What's the use of the Great Harmony's five hundred thousand warships? If they can't hit anyone, they're useless."
"This... this is Lord Ye teaching us another lesson. Before a technological gap, the gap in military equipment quantity becomes less important."
"I suddenly have a bit more confidence in Lord Ye again."
This time, everyone truly felt the chasm of this military technology.
Lin Ye had said before that a technological gap cannot be compensated for by piling up troops!
It was just that in earlier instances, there wasn't a five-million Challenger capacity, so it was difficult for the people of Azure Star to feel that huge disparity.
At this moment, five hundred thousand Korean aircraft and five hundred thousand Great Harmony fleets, fighting against ten north wind god nuclear submarines, could not gain any advantage whatsoever.
It relied on technologicalRolling!
Time continued like this; every now and then, the 955-type nuclear submarines would surface from the sea, then fire a few shots.
Then they would dive back into the deep sea.
This cycle repeated.
Unbeknownst to them, an hour had passed.
During this process, these nuclear submarines were actually almost hit by the Great Harmony fleet's shells several times.
One 955-type nuclear submarine was even accidentally grazed on its hull, but it wasn't sunk because its hull armor was relatively thick.
Such a battle situation also gave Commander Yamamoto hope, prompting him to continuously issue attack orders to the fleet.
Inside the "Canary," Park Chengwan frowned.
The current situation was clearly not what they wanted, and it completely exceeded their previous strategic planning.
In their tactics, they were there to launch a surprise attack, aiming to quickly destroy Mao Xiong Country's naval units near Vladivostok.
But now they were being held up by these broken submarines, dryly wasting time.
It was a complete waste of time.
Since they couldn't hit these submarines, the aircraft group should have shifted fire to attack Mao Xiong Country's other units instead.
For example, the ships anchored in Vladivostok harbor.
For example, directly bombing the city of Vladivostok.
Any method would cause losses to Mao Xiong Country's combat power, and it would be better than wasting time here.
