Chapter 164: Battle of Madagascar 5
"Place is nice, watch out for the artillery raids on the south shore of your warship. This is something that must be noted. Durabo said:
"There's no need to worry about this, isn't there Hu Guang's air force and one of my aircraft carriers? I believe that as long as the other side's artillery shell hits a shell, it will be discovered by those aviation, and then there will be no tragedy. So I've already considered your worries. Jarvis said:
"In addition, my Marines will advance another 20 kilometers inland after landing on the beach. The rest will be left to your army. What do you think? Jarvis then said:
"It doesn't matter, as long as your navy opens up a landing place for our army, so that our army can safely land on the Hai'an line. I believe that the other side will not have any difficulty in giving us the army. Durabo said.
"Well, let's just decide. Let's see how Hu Guang sings his play. Jarvis said:
Just as the two were discussing how to fight, an operational staff officer came to Dulabo and said, "Commander, Commander Hu Guang of the Air Force has called you. Say I have something important to discuss with you. ”
"Let's go, let's go together. Just explained to him on the phone, let's save another leg run. With that, Durabo and Jarvis went to the phone in the confidential room.
Dulabo picked up the phone and said, "Commander Hu, I'm here, you can give a combat mission." ”
"I don't want to talk to you, the chairman just called me and said that Commander Jarvis of the Navy is also with you, so I won't have to run an errand. I'm ready. How are your Army and Navy ready? I will launch an all-out bombing of the island of Madagascar at dawn tomorrow morning. Hu Guang said on the phone:
"Yes, I have already worked it out with Commander Jarvis. Two days later, act on time. All the protagonists of these two days are your Air Force. Durabo said:
"Okay."
The next day, as soon as the sun rose in the east, all the air force airfields located along the coast of the African People's Republic sounded with a rousing wake-up call. By the end of the Wake Up No., the entire airfield was bustling with activity, and black fighters were pushed out of the hangar by the ground crew. The fighters and the huge bombers were then placed on the runway of the airfield. The pilots are already seated in the cockpits of their respective planes. Then all the ground crews refueled and reloaded the planes.
At this time, Hu Guang's voice sounded on the radio at all airports: "All the pilots should pay attention to me, be sure to fill up the plane fuel, this is the first time that our army has crossed the sea for hundreds of miles to attack the island of Madagascar, and we do not want any accidents." I don't need a lot of results from you, remember to protect yourself and protect the plane. Finally, let me think about the results of the battle. I remember everybody.
Hu Guang's voice lasted for half an hour before it ended, at which time the ground crew filled up the main and auxiliary fuel tanks of all the aircraft. Then, under the guidance of the ground crew, he slowly taxied for a period of time before taking off into the sky. After flying in the sky for some time, the planes formed a battle formation and flew towards their respective combat areas.
However, at this time, the senior generals of the French army on the island of Madagascar and all the French soldiers were still immersed in singing and dancing. The ordinary French expatriates were even more unaware that a catastrophe was about to befall them. There was no radar in this era. So it is simply impossible to detect these planes at a distance.
The planes quickly flew in their respective combat formations and arrived in their respective combat areas in less than an hour. At this time, the air defense department of the French army discovered these uninvited guests and urgently sounded the air defense alarm. However, it was too late. Huge bombs fell on the heads of military camps, government offices, and other military areas. Suddenly, a violent explosion sounded on the ground, and huge mushroom clouds rose.
In particular, the city of Murondawa, which was the site of the landing at this time, was bombed by the air force, and huge bombs fell on the barracks and the fortifications along the coastline. The huge shock wave generated by the explosion of these huge bombs tore apart the pillboxes and forts, and those unsuspecting soldiers were even more unlucky to be killed and injured in the position one by one, and some of the more tragic ones were directly buried in the ground by the cement and steel structures set off by the explosion. The entire explosion lasted an hour. The planes left their bombs clean before they left.
The entire combat bombing lasted about two hours, and dozens of counties and cities in the west bank of Madagascar were patronized by the African People's Liberation Army Air Force. Since Conrad, the French governor of Madagascar, was dancing in the ballroom and was not in his own governor's palace, he was not injured in the bombing just now. When he hurried back to his governor's palace with his retinue, he began to weep without tears. For his majestic and majestic governor's palace was in ruins, and corpses were strewn everywhere.
Half an hour later, the entourage handed him a piece of information, which made him want to cry even more, the capital city of Antananarivo alone, in the enemy bombardment, 1,175 French soldiers, officers and officers were killed, 1,880 wounded, and 388 missing. At the same time, the French Air Force in the city of Antananarivo lost all its aircraft. Pilots were killed and wounded.
Conrad pondered for a while and then said weakly: "Immediately activate the backup radio station and send a telegram to the country that our island of Madagascar has been attacked by the air force of the puppet African People's Republic, and the force has been reduced by one-third. The air force was completely lost, and reinforcements were immediately sent. Other areas have also been attacked. The Governor's Palace was attacked by the other side. Due to the scrapping of the radio station, it is not possible to obtain specific casualty figures in other regions for the time being. ”
After saying this, Conrad sorted out his thoughts a little and said: "Immediately organize medical personnel to seize the time to rescue the survivors." At the same time, a bulletin was issued to the whole world condemning the atrocities of this pseudo-African country. ”
Just when the French were hurrying to treat the wounded, the air force of the African People's Republic was once again on top of the heads of these Frenchmen. Huge bombs again landed above their heads with a shrill whistling sound. At this time, the French, although organized a certain amount of air defense forces. But the effect was minimal, it just made the pilots a little more careful. Since the French did not expect the Africans to give themselves a second bombing. There were also a large number of casualties. This also includes the French governor Conrad being shot in the left arm by a shrapnel.
