Chapter 50: The Obu Liberation Operation (1)
Orb, a beautiful island nation known as the "Pearl of the South Pacific" and "Paradise for Adjusters and Naturals", is now mired in the clouds of war.
The Orb government, which had dared to argue in the face of the Atlantic Federation's intimidating authority, began to tremble slightly under the coming anger of the Atlantic Federation, but the people were still peaceful, except for some people with a strong sense of crisis, and no one else seemed to feel that war was coming.
Off the coast of Orb
The combined fleet of the Ob Liberation Operation, dominated by the first and third Pacific fleets of the Atlantic Federation, is converging at sea, of which the Atlantic Federation has dispatched a total of 4 large aircraft carriers, 10 cruisers, and more than 30 frigates in the first and third Pacific fleets, while other countries such as the Equatorial Union and the New South American United States have also symbolically sent more than a dozen frigates and part of the MS, and the total strength of the combined fleet has reached 300,000, and the number of MS is nearly 500, which is not small.
Compared with the Orb side, although there are a large number of geothermal resources as energy use, but the small size of the country is an indisputable fact, a large number of resources for the development of industry in the Orb still need to rely on imports, since the Atlantic Federation of the Atlantic Commonwealth of the United States of America to the Orb table Xiàn hostile, originally as the largest exporter of ores and rare metals to the Orb African Community and the Federation of Oceania, in the Atlantic Federation of several times of military deterrence have significantly reduced exports to the Orb, although the newly established Asian Federation is not afraid of the Atlantic Federation, However, I don't know if there is any secret agreement with the Atlantic Federation, and it has also greatly reduced the export resources to Orb, for what reason it is not known, but it is clear that the diplomatic relations between the Asian Federation and Orb are not as good as imagined.
For various reasons, Orb's current military strength is not very sufficient, and Orb has a total of 8 standing divisions and regiments in the country, of which the 1st and 2nd divisions are stationed on Chudao, the 3rd, 4th, and 8th divisions are stationed on Cooligo Island, and the others are scattered on the remaining islands, and there are 2 guard brigades responsible for the daily escort work of the Orb government, and finally there are 6 police regiments, which are distributed throughout the country and are responsible for public security work, and the number of troops is only more than 20 thousand.
In terms of MS, the 1st and 2nd divisions of the Orb Army are heavy armored divisions, each division is equipped with a total of 148 Orb latest MSs, and the Confused Heresy series of MS series with performance surpassed that of the United Earth MS Short Sword series by the Orb military. It is said that the engineers of the Aub Dawning Society proudly called the Confused M1 heresy even Gundam during Prime Minister Orb's inspection, which shows that these MSs are extremely high.
In order to deal with the United Earth fleet, except for the 3rd and 4th Divisions left behind to continue to defend the important Dawning Society's Courigo Island, all other divisions, including the elite 1st and 2nd Divisions, gathered along the coast of Hatsushima to form a confrontation with the Combined Fleet.
Orb Ministry of Defense
Prime Minister Uzmi Ozmi, dressed in military uniform, stood on the podium with Defense Minister Lund Kaeya, Speaker of the House of Representatives Mari Yabuki, and the President of the Executive Yuan.
Chief of the General Staff Long Fei was explaining the situation, "Representative Ashar, confirmed by the radar station of the Hatsushima Center, that the fleet of the United Earth has completed the encirclement of Hatsushima on three sides, and 1 aircraft carrier, 3 cruisers and more than 10 frigates have also been found outside Koligo Island, and ...... in addition"
"Report to the Chief of the General Staff! The Combine sent a call! A beautiful black-haired correspondent sitting not far away said loudly.
"Pick it up!" Chief Staff Long Fei waved his hand.
All eyes were on the large screen at the top of the Ministry of Defense, where a blonde man in a light blue suit appeared.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Orb Army, on behalf of the Combined Fleet of the Combined Forces, I issue an ultimatum to you, within 1 hour, disarm all and surrender unconditionally, otherwise the Combined Fleet will attack!"
Hearing such an unreasonable request, the staff officers in the Obu Ministry of Defense cursed one after another, "Damn, did you think we were going to lose before the fight started?" ”
"Earth United, I curse you!"
"All this smashing deserves hell!"
At this time, Defense Minister Lund Kaeya looked at Uzmi, Uzmi nodded, and said: "Please call back and say that we Orb have always adhered to the principle of neutrality, neither infringing on others, nor allowing others to invade, we have no intention of uniting with the earth to fight, and regret the conditions of unconditional surrender, if you insist on going to war, all our Orb soldiers and civilians will definitely resist to the end!" ”
After receiving a call back from Orb, the Earth United fleet was silent for a while, and then the commander of the Combined Fleet, Gerald, gave the order to open fire.
Hundreds of majestic naval guns roared, and countless missile launch bays ejected large missiles with thin skins and stuffed feet, only to see hundreds of shells and missiles blasting towards the intended target like long eyes, and most of the protective fortifications along the coast of Aubuchu Island were destroyed in an instant.
When the cannon sounded, there was also an uproar in the Orb Ministry of Defense, and under the report of the correspondent, it was obvious that many of the fortifications along the coast of Hatsushima had been hit with extreme precision, including many hidden defensive fortresses that had been overturned by large-caliber naval guns, and the first wave of attacks by the Coalition Army showed terrifying accuracy.
Uzmi secretly clenched his fists, and Lund Kaeya next to him said lightly: "It seems that the strength of the Combine Army is very strong, Prime Minister, what should we do next?" ”
"With the use of spare communication passwords, there is no need to carry out the original defense plan, the commanders of each defense zone decide their own tactics, and reserve detachments to attack!" At this time, even Uzmi, who was not good at fighting, found that there must be something wrong within the military, and vigorously slapped it on the table and ordered.
General Staff Long Fei walked up to Uzmi and whispered: "Your Excellency Prime Minister, the position of the Ministry of Defense is too high, according to the assessment of the attack of the combined forces just now, please be sure to move to the Reichstag in the rear to continue commanding." ”
Uzmi glanced at Lund, "No need, all of us are here to fight for the country until the last moment!" ”
After some arrangement by the Orb military, the commander of the combined fleet, Gerald, also found that the opposite side seemed to have seen through their tactics and did not make adjustments, so he ordered: "The first and second MS groups are attacking, all the frigates are scattered to cover the landing of the marines, and the fourth MS group is ready!" In order to quickly form combat effectiveness, after Commander Gerald's struggle, the Atlantic Federation transferred many elites into this MS brigade, since the ace MS unit "Hell Band" has greatly decreased its combat effectiveness due to the separation of the Eurasian Federation, the call for the disbandment of this force within the Atlantic Federation is very high, although it has not been officially disbanded, but this unit has been "hidden", and there are basically few opportunities to carry out combat missions.
Although Gerard admired Thatchers very much, he didn't want to offend the upper echelons, so he had to form another elite unit by himself, so that the "Hell Band" that had once terrified the enemy would continue to hide, and even left the "Hell Band" at the Hawaii base in this operation.
As we all know, even if the war is to this day, the beach landing battle is still a very risky operation, and the landing side is always in an unfavorable terrain, but in order to achieve the goal, the war is never decided by the will of the individual, and the landing ships are full of infantry and combat vehicles close to the coast, and the water battle short swords that can be modified to fight on the water for a short time are also densely drilled out of the top, Attempts were made to forcibly establish positions on the beachhead.
Ronna Franco is a Marine of the Pacific Fleet of the Atlantic Federation, born in the Portuguese region of the Atlantic Federation, he has had excellent water since he was a child, as the son of a fisherman, his dream since childhood is to become a navy, half a year ago after the Atlantic Federation passed the conscription bill, he joined the Atlantic Federation Navy as he wished, although he did not serve in his favorite Atlantic Fleet, but he was very satisfied with joining the Navy.
What he never expected was that after just a few months of training, he would come to fight in the unfamiliar Pacific Ocean and be integrated into the Marine Corps.
At this time, Franco and about 20 comrades-in-arms crouched in a small landing ship waiting to dock, and the shore defense guns off the coast of Hatsushima were constantly firing at these landing ships, and the small landing ships were constantly trembling at the edge of the waves set off by the artillery fire.
Although the landing ship has all-round sealing protection, but the continuous large fluctuations, so that Franco, who is proficient in water, can not help but feel nauseous, Franco had to look around to distract his attention, only to see the majestic black soldier on the opposite side of the sergeant Tedis gesturing on his chest, he has lived in Lisbon for many years knows that it is an ancient religious gesture called Christianity, gesture on the chest.
Even Sergeant Teddys, who was the most courageous in the team and had always looked like a big brother, had to pray to God for this landing operation, and Franco's mood fell to the bottom for a while.
The artillery fire outside was still roaring, and only a forward inertia was felt, and the broadcast inside the landing module said: "Successful docking, repeat, successful docking!" ”
Franco couldn't help but clench the assault rifle in his hand, silently prayed for himself in his heart, and rushed towards the exit of the landing module according to the instructions of the instructor last month.
Although many landing ships were sunk under the attack of the Orb shore defense guns, most of the landing ships still forced themselves close to the beachhead, and even small landing ships could carry 30 infantry, 2 MS, and 4 combat vehicles.
I saw that the MS sortie hatches on the left and right sides of the landing ship quickly opened, and two heavily armed assault daggers came out and rushed to the shore to cover the remaining troops.
The protective steel plates on the front of the landing ship also quickly opened, and several M84 main battle tanks covered the infantry and rushed out!
Before he could take a few steps forward, Franco saw that the chassis of an M84 tank at the front had been blown up, and then a rocket hit the whole tank, and the whole tank exploded like a can.
Even a small group of infantry followed by him was also affected, causing a lot of casualties, Franco lay behind an anti-tank fortification on the beachhead and looked behind, just a while, the tanks that came out of the landing ship where he had just stayed had been all destroyed, next to the wreckage of the nearest tank, Franco saw the upper half of the body of the former big brother, Sergeant Teddys, Teddy had been blown up, but the bright eyes were still wide open, as if looking at himself, The courage that Franco had so hard to muster was all lost in this moment, and his mind was already filled with thoughts about how to survive.
