Chapter 23 Expanding the Territory

"I wonder if this is the first time that the Chinese Federation has expanded its territory in such a distant overseas territory? There is no need for the Navy 6th Sentai for such an operation, but it is not easy for us to have such an opportunity to fight overseas! ”

Zhang Xiaohuai held up the binoculars, and his men were boarding the small "Swift" earth-effect boat carrying them from the amphibious assault ships. ≯ Bayi Chinese> Network > <<<.

This time they attacked Djibouti, an African country.

Its land is like a butterfly. The northwest is a volcanic plateau with a height of 5oo~8oo meters, and the southern part is a plateau mountain. In such a terrain, it was supposed to use the Air Assault Division and the Navy 6th Squadron as the main forces.

However, for the French who like to enjoy themselves, the main military bases are located in the eastern part of the country, which is almost entirely flat desert. Moreover, for their own convenience, a highway has easily connected most of the territory of Djibouti.

Under such conditions, the power of tanks and armored vehicles is absolutely extremely powerful.

Although the battle for the Anvil of Djibouti has not yet begun, the urban planning agency of the Chinese Federal Government is already conceiving the construction of the site.

Because of the Great Rift Valley, it will be changed to "Butterfly Valley". It will also establish a tourist city of the same name, as well as provide support for the sea and air bases that hold the choke point of the Red Sea into the Indian Ocean.

The attack was here, not Somalia in the south. The reason is that this time the backbone of the world's ** group is France, and Djibouti is a French colony.

Especially if they occupied this place, even if the French wanted to support Vietnam, their ships would have to go around half the world to reach the East. Behind it is Ethiopia, which has a close strategic partnership with the Chinese Federation. Here, you can also support the city of Zion, which was struggling to support under the pressure of the British, by force.

As for the British in Somalia, this time it was just a cameo as a "monkey", that is, chopping Djibouti was for them to see.

Of course, for the proud British Empire, it is not enough to scare!

At the same time as the fighting began here, almost all the British and French colonies broke out in armed uprisings. Anyway, it's just to support some weapons, and you can find a rebellion. The whole world, including the militants in Ireland, was immediately thrown into chaos.

Originally, the mercenaries of the "Thunder International" who seemed to have been trapped on Irian Island naturally immediately broke into pieces and accepted the employment of the natives who resisted. Began to launch a frenzied attack on the British and French colonial governments.

As for the British or Australian attack on Irian Island, it is equivalent to giving the green light to attack Australia with two aircraft carrier battle groups eyeing Australia in front of Australia, and a thousand German aircraft on Irian Island.

It is believed that as long as absolute air supremacy is obtained. Then the air power that can burn a Japanese city in a day can also blow up an Australian city in a day. Of course, people don't kill, just let them act as hungry people who can start thieves.

As long as this is the result that the British Empire wants, Mike. The old wolf would definitely not be reluctant to bomb.

Djibouti's battle of Anvil is a place where determination is expressed.

At 4:3o a.m., the sky was already covered with a red cloud with good weather in the hot African 6.

A total of 72 small Swift boats that took off in the first two waves have been hovering around in two circles, and they will land and fight together with the third wave of ground-effect boats.

The first attack wave consisted of 1o8 "Swifts", which would carry most of the main regiment of two light infantry on board 6. In the second wave, send them the support fire of the light infantry regiment.

These "swifts" occupy a completely low-altitude position, they are densely packed like mosquitoes overhead, and take off from the aircraft carrier with a squadron of 36 fighters and 72 "sea thunder" attack planes under their protection. They will blow up those coastal guns of the French into scrap metal at the first time.

Closer to the shore will be battleships loaded with new 38o mm guns produced by Chinese Krupp, which will arrive close to the shore to provide reliable fire support for infantry and armored units fighting on the shore.

The roar of the fleet of planes taking off from the Gulf of Aden, halfway between Yemen and Somalia, and the "Swifts" quickly attracted the attention of the British ** team stationed in Yemen and Somalia.

"Huh"

The British Coastal Forces on the Somali side quickly lit their searchlights, and the exposure of the group caused concern among the officers leading the group. Black boxer Eugene. Buhler was a member of the Navy's flying corps because he liked to travel everywhere.

Therefore, after the war in the Chinese Federation ended, he has been traveling around with the "Yue Fei". This is also the reason why we rarely see him in Tang Yunyang's gatherings with old friends.

"Now the searchlight of the British side of Somalia ......"

His request was quickly reached on the Hawkeye III reconnaissance/command airship in the sky, and was then quickly transferred back to the joint command on the Yue Fei.

Soon the news returned to his ears.

"If the other party doesn't attack, don't bother!"

At the same time, the British also sent the news to London. Due to the number of planes attacking from the sea, the British side judged that this was the naval aviation of the Chinese Federation, so this must be the First Fleet of the Chinese Federal Navy, which had been missing for a long time.

Soon the British team based in Somalia received the result from London.

They are monitored, clashes are prohibited if they are not attacked, and even the French forces in Djibouti are not informed of the information they receive here.

In the face of such an order, the British ** officials couldn't help but look at each other, which clearly wanted the French to die under the attack of the Chinese Federation.

But they are soldiers, and no matter how personal feelings are judged, there is absolutely no violation of orders. As a result, the searchlights quickly went out, and complete darkness returned to the entire coast of the Gulf of Aden.

The journey of more than 1oo kilometers is really not worth mentioning for airplanes and "Swifts". At 5:00 a.m., the group, which had flown for half an hour, reached the coast of Djibouti.

The light of the searchlights shot into the sky, like swords intending to pierce the sky. However, flying at the forefront was the formation of "Swifts" flying over the sea. Their low-altitude flight made it impossible for the French soldiers, who were bent on searching for planes in the sky, to find their targets at all.

After skimming the breakwater at low altitude, the "Swifts" quickly landed behind the emplacements of the coastal guns according to their respective targets. Of course, they weren't busy attacking coastal artillery, and the first thing they did was to seize a stretch of road so that the swifts could return to the sky.

As for the coastal artillery, against them was a group of Ben Mine attack aircraft.

Terrible sirens sounded in the barracks of the French ** team, the main base from which France controlled the Red Sea to the Indian Ocean shipping lane. Therefore, three French divisions were stationed on this small land. Among them are two infantry divisions, one tank division.

The sound of the sirens provided a few minutes of warning time for the French team, after all, there was no radar in this era. Hearing by ear alone, being able to provide a few minutes of warning is already a remarkable thing.

"Woo......"

Amid the sound of the plane's engines, a series of flares lit up in the sky. After all, the sky wasn't quite bright at this time, and the ground was much darker than the sky. The French army in the night was more protected.

Immediately after, swarms of fighters swooped down. The jets of the 4-barreled rotating machine guns rained down on the bright searchlights. The rockets mounted under the wings shot a series of rockets at the barracks of the French ** team.

A series of explosions immediately woke up the French soldiers, who were still a little dazed. They roared and ran, trying to master more weapons.

However, it was not just fighter jets that came to attack the barracks. Due to the lack of forces for the first wave of strikes, some of the "Apple" reconnaissance / attack aircraft on the "Hawkeye III" also arrived on the scene in time.

Although these little creatures can't fly vertically, their low-altitude performance and payload are better than those of helicopters, and they still bring a series of rockets.

Fortunately, the purpose of attacking the barracks was only to create chaos, and as for the actual attack on them, it was the "sea thunder" of the second attack that came later.

While the French soldiers were in a hurry, trying to resist, the attack on the coastal batteries reached a managed.

One after another, the "sea mines" that dive-threw bombs accurately threw 25o kilogram armor-piercing shells on the battery bases of those long heavy coastal guns.

These bombs, which were used against battleships, were extremely effective against these armoured and reinforced artillery forts. Although they are not as powerful as the one-ton shells of the "Big Berta Attack Cannon", the power of their dive and projectiles from the air makes these armor-piercing shells much more powerful.

Columns of smoke formed by the explosion rose brighter and brighter into the pale sky from the forts of the French coastal artillery. Greeted by several dozen such bombs, the coastal artillery of the French quickly lost its combat capability.

Since, their coastal artillery lost its ability to attack. Then at this time it was wandering 2o nautical miles away. The battleships in the 1st Aircraft Carrier Battle Group of the Chinese Federal Navy began to bombard.

The construction has already been completed, and it is the blueprint for the future Bismarck battleship - the Mackensen-class battleship. They reduced one turret at this time, but the artillery was increased to 38o mm.

This new type of battleship cannon produced by Krupp in China has a maximum capacity of 5o kilometers, and if it can be parked on the coast in the middle of Djibouti, recessed between the two "butterfly wings", then it will not be difficult for the naval guns to cover the entire territory.

The shells of the battleships flew through the sky, and the rumbling sound they brought was as loud as if the sea was going to roar together.

This time Satan has really come!
