"Go forward at full speed, go forward at full speed!" In the tall bridge of Kitty Hawk, Captain Michael looked at the sea outside, looked at his warships around him, two Ticonderoga-class cruisers and two Burke-classes, forming a tight air defense formation to avoid being hit by the shore-based aviation force of China. At the same time, there are several anti-submarine ships on the outside, and the underwater Los Angeles-class nuclear submarines, his lineup is already quite powerful.

Such an aircraft carrier formation is simply an invincible existence, but now Captain Michael still thinks his warship is not fast enough.

Huaxia actually used force to deal with the problem of Wanwan Island. China's army has landed on Wanwan Island!

In this case, his side was still moving slowly a few hundred nautical miles away, which made Captain Michael a little irritable, especially last night, when the No. 4 boiler suddenly failed and could not increase the maximum pressure, which reduced the speed of the aircraft carrier to twenty-eight knots.

Now, it was already dawn and we had not yet arrived near Wanwan Island to carry out the mission of seizing air supremacy, which made Captain Michael a little irritable.

But, he didn't know that even greater trouble was still behind.

"Report, several fishing boats were found in front of them." Just as the fleet was sailing at full speed, the lookout reported to the bridge.

As we continued to go south, we entered the Zhoushan Fishing Farm, and in front of the fleet, we could see those fishing boats carrying out fishing operations.

"Damn it, whistle, let them all get out of the way!" Captain Michael couldn't help but say, looking at the fishing boats through the telescope.

This is the most hateful. If the US Navy attacks fishing boats, it will cause diplomatic disputes. Those fishermen, not only the mainland fishermen, but also the Wanwan Island fishermen, cannot use machine guns to expel them, nor can they use anti-ship missiles. Even if they can realize that this is a trick by China, they have no choice.

You can only rely on the whistle to make the other party give in.

"Woo. Woo." Relying on the steam-pushed whistle, it was full of mid-tone, spreading towards the sea in the distance. At the same time, the captain of the Perry-class destroyer in the front shouted to the opposite side with a high-power megaphone: "Fishing boat, let the channel open! This is the US Navy!"

Unfortunately, he used English. Those fishing boats didn't understand what they were saying⊥□style_txt; and they were still casting nets and fishing. Now is the time. The fishermen get up early and go to bed late, hoping to get more.

Underwater, a Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine is constantly advancing. As a vanguard guarding the underwater, this nuclear submarine is responsible for the important task of discovering and expeling enemy nuclear submarines and protecting the underwater safety of aircraft carriers.

Underwater, the only equipment that can be detected is sonar. Now, the aircraft carrier formation that is moving at high speed on the water has greatly reduced the detection distance of Los Angeles-class submarines.

In order to protect the formation, Los Angeles-class submarines usually sail in the water twenty nautical miles ahead of the aircraft carrier. When the surface warships discovered those fishing boats, the Los Angeles-class submarines were already very close to the fishing boats.

Although the sound of the engine on the water was heard, the captains of the Los Angeles-class submarines did not pay much attention. The above command was to sail at full speed, and they had to quickly support Bay Bay.

On the submarine that was in three shifts, day and night, the captain patrolled the entire boat and was about to return to his room to take a look, but suddenly, the submarine shook violently.

"What's going on?" the captain stumbled, picked up the phone and asked the command room.

"Report, our propeller is wrapped in a fishing net!" The first mate replied to the captain. Although his eyes could not see the outside of the hull, based on experience, the output power of the steam turbine at the tail dropped sharply, which obviously encountered a great resistance, and this resistance was 80% caused by the propeller being wound.

Damn it! The captain cursed and said, "Reduce the power and reverse the car."

After giving this order, he crawled towards the command tower.

If you can see from outside, you can see that the Los Angeles-class seven-blade large side inclined propeller is currently entangled with a fishing net, densely packed, and the entire propeller is almost unable to move.

In order to increase the strength of the fishing net, many fishing nets are not only composed of ropes, but also with steel wires. Although the propeller is very powerful, it is still impossible to cut the fishing net.

This is also the reason why the later submarine propulsion system used pump-jet propellers. Not only fishing nets, but even the seabed kelp may wrap around the propeller, causing the propeller to fail.

Since it is entangled, the most basic solution is to reverse the car and let the propeller reverse, so that the entangled thing can be released.

However, this is not 100% effective.

As the propeller began to reverse, the fishing net that had just been wrapped strongly began to loosen, but there were still many fishing nets wrapped around the propeller. After turning for dozens of turns, the propeller ended up reversing and started to rotate forward again. Although it could be rotated, the efficiency of the propeller was quite low, and, with the rotation, countless effervescents began.

"The report is that there are still fishing nets entangled, which has caused our propeller efficiency to decrease and we will not be able to reach a maximum speed of thirty knots." The deputy captain reported to the captain.

Damn it! Something went wrong at this time!

"If we want to restore speed, we can only surface and cut the entangled fishing nets." The captain said: "But if we do this, there will be no submarine escort under the water of our aircraft carrier formation."

Generally speaking, an aircraft carrier formation has two nuclear submarines, but because the departure was very urgent this time, only this nuclear submarine came and the other one was still patrolling the Pacific Ocean, which would take at least two days to come.

"Report to the fleet, please tell the fleet." said the captain.

Through the underwater communication system, the experience of the Los Angeles-class submarine was reported to the captain of the Kitty Hawk aircraft carrier and also the commander of the formation.

"Damn it! How did they drive submarines? How could they get into the fishing net like fish?" Michael said angrily when he heard the news.

In fact, underwater, anything can happen. Submarine soldiers are the most direct persons among all naval arms to face death. Once a crash occurs, it will be difficult to rescue.

"Let them float up, solve the entangled fishing net, and catch up with our formation." Michael said. The entangled fishing net destroyed the water sound characteristics of the propeller and reduced the speed. The nuclear submarine was useless. This problem must be solved.

"Then we won't be escorting underwater with nuclear submarines." Colonel Kate said.

"The backward Han-class nuclear submarines in China cannot pose a threat to us at all. Even if we only have surface ships, we can still deal with the threat." Michael said: "This is the trick of the Chinese people, trying to delay our actions."

Michael has realized that there must be a conspiracy to dare to fish on the route of US aircraft carriers. It is definitely not a coincidence that the Los Angeles-class submarine was entangled with fishing nets this time, but he had no other choice.

"Keep on." Colonel Michael continued: "In two hours, release the first fighter jets."

Just sail for another two hours and you can reach the range of the aircraft carrier's delivery force. You must quickly support Wanwan! Even if there is danger underwater, Michael decided to continue moving forward!

"Report, the Burke-class destroyer Barry, the report found a suspicious sound wave underwater." Just three minutes after Colonel Michael made the decision to continue moving forward without a nuclear submarine, another report that made him desperate came.

I found something underwater!

The US government has made a statement that if the Chinese dare to use ballistic missiles to greet their aircraft carrier formations, it will be the beginning of the nuclear war! However, if the Chinese submarines sink the US aircraft carrier or even just hurt the US aircraft carrier, the United States will have no chance of any further action. After all, the submarines fired several torpedoes and followed them away. The Americans couldn't even find them, so there was no definite evidence to accuse them of the Chinese.

"Anti-submarine formation, release the S-2 anti-submarine aircraft, cast the sonar buoy, and find out this Chinese submarine for me!" Colonel Michael had no choice. For the aircraft carrier formation, or for any surface ship, the threat of submarines is always the first priority. Now, since you find a submarine, you must take action, force the submarine out, or even sank the other party!

If China sends fighter jets here, then we will fight with China here! Colonel Michael issued a combat order. In addition to the S-2 anti-submarine aircraft, four F-18 fighters were also ejected to carry out fleet air defense missions.

The aircraft carrier formation was unable to seize air supremacy for Wanwan on time! On Wanwan Island, which had lost its air supremacy, the battle was almost one-sided.

With air support, two armies landed on Wanwan Island, and quickly advanced south along the open plains west of Wanwan Island. The 3rd Tank Division of the 39th Army, who was walking in the front, had already crossed Taichung along the expressway and headed straight to Tainan!

At this time, the politicians on Wanwan Island had already begun to despair. They originally thought that they could withstand the Chinese army for at least a few days with the force on the island. There was no chance to counterattack the mainland. Is it okay to defend Wanwan Island?

However, who would have thought that the entire battle would not take two days! The US aircraft carrier was late. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the US Kitty Hawk formation finally arrived at the 300 nautical miles east of Wanwan Island and was preparing to launch fighters to seize air supremacy. China's vanguard had already arrived in Kaohsiung!

The former sick man in East Asia has now grown into a giant in the East! Not only is the economy strong, but the combat effectiveness of the army also makes the world admire him.

In fact, China has always been tradition of attaching importance to the army for many years. When the 39th Army landed on Wanwan Island, the fate of Wanwan Island was already destined. (To be continued.)
