Chapter 238: The First Battle of Landing in the United States

To attack New York, the greatest difficulty is the long-distance transportation of a large-scale landing force, from the port of Colon in the Panama Canal to New York, a distant waterway of more than 6,000 kilometers and nearly 7,000 kilometers, to use an analogy, this is equivalent to the distance from the Nansha Islands to Heilongjiang, and the transportation road is very long.

In order to take New York, the Huaxia Army, under the cover of three battleships, 12 cruisers, four destroyers, and six warships captured by the Chinese Army, dispatched 90 transport ships and carried a landing force of 50,000 people at a time to the port of New York.

At this moment, the United States did not have radio station technology, and it was only four or five days after the Caribbean War that it received the news of the defeat of the Atlantic Fleet of the United States Army, and the United States suddenly fell into a panic.

However, before the Atlantic Fleet set out for the expedition, the United States had already sent a landing force of 80,000 men on 150 transport ships to advance towards Panama, and after the Atlantic Fleet defeated the Huaxia fleet, it would directly land in Panama and take control of the Panama Canal Zone, and then take Guantanamo and Puerto Rico.

However, due to the lack of wireless telegraphy, the convoy had no way of knowing that the Atlantic Fleet of the Mi Army had been completely destroyed, and continued to advance towards Panama.

This huge Mi army transport fleet happened to encounter the Huaxia army fleet at sea.

"Good! I'm worried that we won't have enough laborers to build the Nanyang and Panama Canals, so the people of the United States will send us ships and people! Hearing the news that the Mi country had shipped out of the fleet, Hu Zhen was overjoyed and immediately ordered the fleet: "Use the flag to inform the Mi people that their Atlantic fleet has been completely wiped out, and ask them to surrender immediately!" ”

I heard that the Atlantic Fleet had been completely wiped out, and many heads poured out of the decks of the transport ships of the Mi Army's transport fleet, to see what was going on.

But at such a time, there were still officers in the Mi army who immediately denied the enemy's claim: "This is fake, it is those yellow-skinned monkeys who are spreading rumors!" ”

"Then why didn't you see our Atlantic Fleet?"

Someone asked a rhetorical question, and the officers who came out to calm the hearts of the people were speechless.

The battleship Brooklyn and five cruisers, which were captured from the almost intact Mi Army, happened to be in the fleet of the Huaxia Army, and Hu Zhen knew that the Mi Army would inevitably be questioned. In order to save a few shells transported from thousands of miles away, Hu Zhen ordered the six warships to sail out of the queue and show the appearance of his scarred ship to the Mi army on the transport ship, in order to be clearer. These six warships approached a distance of more than 1,000 meters from the Mi military transport fleet.

"It's impossible, it's impossible, it's impossible for the mighty Atlantic Fleet to be defeated by the yellow-skinned monkeys!" Some unwilling officers and soldiers went crazy about this, and even lost their minds and fired at the Huaxia Army warships with rifles in their hands, and some people rushed to the deck with army guns. Artillery fire on the Huaxia fleet.

Hu Zhen was suddenly furious: "Looking for death!" Shoot back and sink all the Mi Army transport ships that dare to resist! ”

The transport ship was not armoured, and a small caliber shell could blow through a large hole and sink to the bottom of the sea.

And the army artillery of less than 100 mm on the transport ship simply cannot compete with the large-caliber artillery on the battleship.

However, after a while, the seven Mi army transport ships that dared to resist were bombarded into the bottom of the sea by the Huaxia army with only 30 shells to feed the fish and shrimp, and the red blood was sprinkled on the sea, looking like a little flower blooming from the air, and two or three thousand Mi soldiers who jumped into the sea were wandering on the sea. Desperately waving for help, the sea was black and oppressive.

At this time, where is the Mi army who dares to resist.

All 143 transport ships finally hoisted a white flag of surrender, and stopped the steam engine power, waiting for the Huaxia army to send people on board to accept the surrender.

The capture of 143 transport ships and the capture of 80,000 elite troops of the United States were just a small episode in the Chinese Army's march to New York, the economic center of the United States.

At this time, the United States was already in a panic, and even more panicked things were still to come, and the fishermen and merchant ships on the coast of Florida all saw the huge fleet of the Huaxia Army heading north.

Along the way, Hu Zhen ordered all ships flying the Stars and Stripes of the United States. They were to be seized on the spot, and no one was allowed to go ashore to report the news.

For more than 100 years after the War of Independence, with the exception of the war with England in 1812, the United States has never been under such a serious maritime threat. But there is nothing to be done about it, because in addition to the Atlantic Fleet, which is a maritime barrier, even most important ports do not have shore defense batteries, and there is no strength to resist threats from the sea.

After the annihilation of the Atlantic Fleet of the United States Army, the entire coast of the United States is like a woman who has been tied hand and foot by a strongman and stripped of all her clothes, and at this moment she can only do whatever she wants.

The huge fleet of the Huaxia Army. Except for a little wind and waves on the road, there was no artificial obstacle along the way, and it appeared off the coast of New York.

When the covering fleet of the Chinese Army aimed its guns at the New York city, a fleet of six small ships with a displacement of only a few hundred tons and three old warships produced during the Civil War rushed out.

Hu Zhen issued another cold order: "Use the flag to ask them to surrender quickly, and if there is no response, they will all be wiped out immediately!" ”

But after the flag was issued, the people of the United States still rushed over unrelentingly, and the Huaxia warships opened fire decisively.

At this time, it was far from the range of the guns of the small ships and old warships of the Mi Army, but the gunfire of the battleships of the Huaxia Army turned the front into a sea of fire, enveloping all the Mi warships inside.

In less than 20 minutes, the heroic charging formation of the Mi warships disappeared, and the sea was covered with corpses and debris.

When the Chinese warships approached New York, the Mi troops on land panicked and used the army's small-caliber artillery to bombard the sea.

Where is the small-caliber artillery of the army the opponent of the large-caliber artillery of the Navy?

Since the Chinese warships launched the artillery bombardment on the opposite shore, it has only been half an hour, and the artillery positions of the Mi army are strewn with corpses, and the artillery has been blown into piles of scrap metal, and there is no artillery on the land positions in New York that can still bombard the sea.

Even the century-old pride of the United States, the statue of the Statue of Liberty, was broken by the artillery fire of the Chinese army, and since then, the people of the United States have made the statue of Liberty forever missing an arm in order to remember the shame that can never be washed away.

"The landing operation begins!"

There are three forces in the Huaxia Army that can carry out landing combat missions: the army, the special combat team, and the Marine Corps, and all three sides are vying to win the first victory in landing on the North American continent and attacking New York.

When the dispute continued, Hu Zhen, who personally came forward to mediate, did not hesitate to order: "The marines were originally used for landing operations, and they are the most professional, so let them go first in this battle!" (To be continued.) )
