Chapter 476: Clearing Mines

"Alright, man, it's free attack time, your targets have been sent to the warplanes, the battleships, and then the scouts will confirm in turn, remember not to attack those unmarked facilities, or I'll kick you in the ass. All the ships have paid attention to me, our enemy is very cunning, there are at least a few thousand mines in front of us, but we don't want to get rid of them all yet, so you should be careful with you 101-104, 51, 52, and only clear the areas that hinder your operations. ”

O'Neill in the communication channel of the whole fleet, a little jokingly issued the next attack plan, and at the same time, on each warship and fighter plane, this distribution process did not even take much effort, although there are hundreds or thousands of targets that need to be attacked, according to the intelligence feedback back information, and the reconnaissance of the Cloud Eagle reconnaissance plane and space satellite in the past two days, the accurate location, shape and size, surrounding facilities and other information of these facilities have already been clearly felt.

In particular, the intelligence of the Ministry of Intelligence is no longer like India's, and it has a thorough understanding of all the military targets, whether it is the South Island or the North Island, otherwise it is obviously impossible to know the whereabouts of some small targets if they only use reconnaissance planes and space satellites to reconnoitre.

New Zealand's original strength was not much, and it was only a few tens of thousands when it was full, even if they urgently expanded their forces at this time, coupled with the help of Australia, there were not many soldiers from the two countries on New Zealand's mainland, and the total number of soldiers from the two countries would not exceed 100,000.

The most important thing is that their number of fighters, warships, and army heavy equipment is too small, even if they want to keep the first aircraft carrier group out. only to find that with their own troops and equipment, it was simply impossible.

So, after analyzing the advantages of both sides, the defense ministries of the two countries analyzed the advantages of both the enemy and the enemy. In addition to Australia's 32 fighter planes, the South Island has only a few anti-aircraft guns, 20 or 30 armored vehicles, army trucks, and more than 20 well-camouflaged mobile missile launchers.

When the overwhelming fighter jets fell from the sky, it also meant that all of New Zealand's self-contained deployments were exposed. The consequence of the exposure was that these equipment and deployment points, as well as the soldiers with them, were all bombed into the sky, one by one Exocs missiles. As if it was completely free of money, it was launched from the fighter jet, and basically all of them hit the target accurately, and occasionally one or two of them were missed, and their powerful explosive shrapnel and shock wave. You can also kill your own targets. Because the offset of this missile is quite small, at most one or two meters.

The 78 air force supremacy carrier-based aircraft that took off from the aircraft carrier showed off their strength and cleaned up their respective targets on the South Island, even if there were any remaining missiles after the fight, they would occasionally grab the targets of their companions, especially those on the warships, anyway, they could see the nearby targets that needed to be attacked from their multi-functional helmets at any time, their own marks were red, and their comrades' marks were pink. The uniform markings on warships are blue.

They would not easily snatch a red target unless their comrades invited them. Otherwise, once they land, they will wait to duel each other.

"The nest calls the birds, the nest calls the birds, the well-fed birds return to the nest as soon as possible, and the second batch of task objectives have been assigned and are waiting to be labeled."

"The birds understand, the nest you can actually mark now, we can go over and see it first, now we have just eaten and are full of energy!"

"Man, this is the commander's order, it is not to be disobeyed, the birds hurry back to the nest, unless you don't want to participate in the second approved mission!"

"Oh, that's not going to work, birds, let's go home and pretend to be a guy, let's go!"

After Australia's 32 fighters were wiped out almost instantly, everyone in the New Zealand Ministry of Defense in Wellington breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, they thought that even if they were defeated by the first aircraft carrier formation, they would be able to fight the opponent's fighter jets at least a few times, but according to the radar and the call passed by the pilots participating in the Australian Air Force, their idea was simply a dream, and the F-18 could not find the enemy at all and was directly locked on, and the first to come out on their radar was not the opponent's fighter jet, but the missile launched by the opponent, and it was a missile with a speed of more than Mach 5.

Australia's defense minister angrily hammered the table and roared that the naval fleet must strike immediately, otherwise neither country would want to end up.

The New Zealand side also knew that what the Daoist people said was correct, that it was originally inferior to the First Aircraft Carrier Formation, and that if it did not attack in a group, it would only be named by the enemy's destroyers or carrier-based aircraft.

Therefore, when they saw from their radars that the six warships of the First Aircraft Carrier Formation were scattered and rushed to various parts of the South Island, especially when one of the targets was heading towards the northern part of the South Island, the defense ministers of both sides were moved.

Although they were afraid that this was the other party's bait, when they learned that the Jeju, the flagship of the First Aircraft Carrier Formation, and several other frigates were still heading towards Christchurch in the middle of the South Island, they quickly made a decision to kill this daring guy.

Therefore, when the New Zealand-Australia Combined Fleet suddenly moved from the "heavily defended" Wellington, the Cloud Eagle reconnaissance plane, which had been monitoring them, discovered their intentions as soon as possible and quickly transmitted this information to the fleet command.

At the same time as the air supremacy that had completed the mission was returning home, the destroyers No. 102 and No. 101, which were faster and closer, had already reached about 14 nautical miles near their targets.

This is Dunedin, the capital of Otago province, New Zealand's fourth-largest city, in a typical Scottish style, where most people are of British descent, but there are also thousands of foreign Chinese.

"Damn these pilots, can't they give us more? Guys, we're going to let the guys on the shore know that it's not just fighter jets that can strike them, but our warships can blast open their doors as well. Colonel Song Zhongji couldn't help but shake his head a little depressedly as he saw that there were fewer and fewer targets jointly confirmed by radar, reconnaissance planes, and space satellites.

They protested against this kind of carrier-based aircraft often grabbing warship targets, but unfortunately O'Neill didn't care, why do you have to use warships to solve the targets that can be solved by fighters, anyway, they all use missiles, and their own missiles are sufficient, followed by several armed supply ships, one of which is loaded with a whole ship, and there are nearly five base supplies, of which the supply of carrier-based aircraft is the most.

Lin Zijie, who was traveling with him, was also very helpless, and after comforting this guy in the communicator, he immediately gave his first order.

"The port in front of the target, the Swordfish underwater directional sweeping shock wave, wavelength 12 massive, directional launch!"

"Ready, request command confirmation!"

"The order has been confirmed, launch immediately!" Lin Zijie quickly confirmed the controller's order, and then the soldiers on the No. 102 destroyer only felt their hull shake slightly, and then an invisible directional beam was launched towards the port in front of them.

The GIs on the shore, who were always paying attention to the movements outside the port, saw two destroyers coming from the east in the early morning sun, and in the telescope, they could tell that these were the two Seahawk-class destroyers on the first aircraft carrier formation, and all the GIs on the shore suddenly became nervous.

On the way to Chile with the first aircraft carrier group, New Zealand and Australia have tried to inflict heavy damage on each other many times with mines, individual torpedo tubes, and other weapons, but unfortunately none of their series of actions have been successful, and they have not even had a chance to get close to each other for 10 nautical miles.

They scratched their scalps and couldn't figure out how the 1st Aircraft Carrier Group had knocked out its own mines and torpedoes, because the small sonar and other detection equipment they carried at the same time did not detect any of the warships firing weapons on the way.

Just when they hoped that a large number of mines deployed around the harbor could inflict some trauma on the two Sea Hawk-class destroyers who came to the door, a strange situation suddenly appeared in front of them, making the soldiers on the shore feel cold all over their bodies.

I saw that starting from a few hundred meters away from the Seahawk-class destroyer numbered 102, a series of water columns were continuously blasted out from the bottom of the sea, and one after another water columns rose into the sky, hitting them heavily in their hearts, and the momentum that continued from far and near made them know that at least hundreds of mines they had deployed in the water were wiped out in an instant and no longer existed.

"Quick, report to the headquarters immediately, the enemy has the ability to clear mines in a large area in an instant, let them hurry up and find a way!" At the critical moment, the person in charge was more calm, he knew that the thousands of mines secretly purchased by New Zealand were completely ornamental in front of this kind of weapon, and he did not want to bring even a little damage to the enemy, although he did not know how the 102 ship cleared the mines in an instant.

From the very beginning, the New Zealand government never imagined that it could block Ji Feng's attack on its own, so in addition to actively attracting allies to join, it secretly purchased a large amount of equipment for defense.

Because of their low price, great power, easy to deploy, difficulty in finding and sweeping away, and flexible function, thousands of mines were purchased by them and deployed in the sea areas outside key posts.

And the purpose of this group of GIs on the shore here is to detonate the mines in the water through the remote control. Within a dozen or so of this port, they deployed more than 700 mines of all kinds, contact, pressure, sound, magnetic mines, and even dozens of remote-controlled mines, but at this moment, all their previous efforts were scrapped.
