Chapter 1390: From China?

The headquarters of New York, located in the center of New York, because it is the most core area of the United States, although it is close to the Atlantic Ocean, is a port city, but New York never thought that it would be attacked, although in the war years, a large number of coastal defense batteries were built in New York, but unfortunately the earliest battery was also built 20 years ago, for the capital ships of this era, it is completely useless, the firing range is only about 7 kilometers, the capital ship of the other side, at least more than 15 kilometers away from the battery, They can only sigh with admiration.

However, even if this is a heavily armed battery, it is impossible to launch a counterattack, the reason is very simple, New York is the most prosperous big city in the United States, before Hollywood has not risen, Los Angeles has not been able to be compared with New York, in this city, everywhere is full of lights, and the army that can be sent to New York is either a second-rate army, or it is simply related, and the battery is an old-fashioned, but not low-level place, has become the focus of these related households, according to the statistics of people with a heart, in the battery, At least 30 per cent of the officers had a name on it, and they had never even been to the barracks.

Although it was not a day off, it was a Thursday, but last night, a third of the defenders of the battery took leave to go to the city, and they have not yet returned, and the commander of the garrison took great pains to organize enough personnel and start the 12 coastal defense artillery fire half an hour after the attack began.

Finally, there is a counterattack, located in the city, because the port and the Statue of Liberty were destroyed, the soldiers and civilians of New York, who seem to be terrified, seem to see hope, this important defense line protecting New York, will definitely give them hope, to drive away such a demonic fleet, in most people's impressions, the battleship and the shore fire resistance confrontation, the battleship is often at a disadvantage.

That's right, the same level, or even a little worse level of coastal defense artillery fire, can restrain the battleship, but there are the same level and little difference in the level, 20 years ago compared with the current naval gun, I don't know how much worse, and the opponent's coastal defense artillery fire is also insufficient, 12 coastal defense artillery fire, under the order of the commander, sparsely completed the first wave of attack, but the farthest is only 6 kilometers away, the most close, only about 3 kilometers, and the distance between the fantasy class, at least more than 10 kilometers.

To be honest, the sudden sound of artillery fire startled Cheng Biguang, the coastal defense artillery fire of the Americans, even the people in the United States have forgotten, in the past 10 years, they have never opened, let alone the Chinese who probe New York, the artillery battery in an unopened state, even if it is the air force reconnaissance, may not be able to detect clearly, let alone the spies, they really missed this thing.

Fortunately, this is not a state-of-the-art battery, Cheng Biguang used a telescope to detect that direction for the first time, and after seeing the caliber and position of the battery, he breathed a long sigh of relief, the battlefield situation is changeable, he is not too aggressive, but steady and steady, in case he approaches that area, although those shells may not be able to penetrate the battleship's defense, but in case they hit a few outside and hurt some people, it will not be good.

Cheng Biguang observed at the same time, the aiming system also did a good job of aiming, 2 ships were drawn out, on that piece of battery, carried out a covering bombardment, the gunners of their own battleships, are after a large number of artillery drills, the accuracy is above the level, and the sighting system is so anti-heaven existence, for the accuracy of land fixed targets, even better than the most elite gunners in the UK, the accuracy brought by the machine, is not comparable to other fuzzy calculations, if one side moves, experience and luck are a bit important, But if one party does not move, people will never be able to compare to computers, and their powerful computing power will be vividly realized in reality during this period of time.

24 guns, replaced with half of the armor-piercing shells, half of the high-explosive shells, and then began three rounds of rapid attacks, powerful 15-inch guns, tungsten core high-energy armor-piercing shells, which are the most cutting-edge weapons at present, these shells hit the rate is still extremely high, easily attacked the target, and penetrated the protection of the battery, based on the concept of 20 years ago, without any improvement in the shells, in the face of the strike of the new battleship, their results can be imagined.

Whether it is a tungsten core armor-piercing shell penetrating into the interior of the battery, or a high-explosive shell, covering the outer layer, pouring explosions and steel, this piece of the battery immediately becomes a hell on earth.

The commander of the defenders of New York, who had not yet had time to teach the officers of the battery, why it was so late to counterattack, was met with such a devastating blow, the huge fires and explosions proved that there was almost a desperate situation there, the call of the wired telephone, but unfortunately there was no sound of answering, apparently, after just a few rounds of artillery fire, there had already been a devastating blow there.

What to do, this officer with the lieutenant general of the army, he is the commander of the defense of New York, Ross, sitting on a stool decadently, he only found out at this time that he thought it was an impregnable line of defense, in the face of a sudden sea attack, it was completely full of loopholes, the United States has been peaceful for a long time, even if it joined the European war, it was the military and government leaders, ordinary people and the locals, who were not ready for war, and this did not burn on their heads, and they immediately suffered a huge blow.

Rose felt very confused about such a sudden appearance of the fleet, as far as he could tell the news he currently had, it was four huge capital ships, but unfortunately he was an army officer, and there was no naval elite in charge of the lookout, so he didn't know what type of ship it was, but he had already asked the navy to investigate.

Ringing bell, the phone in front of him rang, Ross immediately picked up the phone, sure enough, the phone came with the news he had been waiting for for a long time, the navy identified through the lookout, and found that the attack battleship was the emperor class, and the name of the fantasy class was from China, but after arriving in Germany, when it entered the German naval sequence, it was named the emperor class, which is also the recognized title of the entire world navy.

Rose's face immediately darkened, although when he was just attacked, he thought that the opponent was likely to be the Germans, but deep down, there was always some uncertainty, because the German warships were basically pinned down by the Allied capital ship formation near the North Sea, it stands to reason that Germany could not cross the defense line of the Entente fleet and enter the depths of the North Atlantic, that is what the Entente has always focused on defense, not to mention the emperor class, the Scheer fleet has a total of 9 warships of the emperor class and the Grand Duke class, Representing the highest level of the German fleet, when the Entente fought with them, they suffered a big loss because of these 9 powerful warships, even under the premise of occupying a certain advantage in numbers, they still could not suppress the German navy, but were suppressed by them.

On the fantasy level, Cheng Biguang looked at the situation in front of him, the area of the fort had been cleaned up, and there were fires burning everywhere, it was impossible to threaten him, and then, he had to continue to get closer, always attacking the port, which had little effect, the ships in the port had been almost beaten, and the port had been destroyed, the real essence of New York was in the interior of the city, Wall Street and some military enterprises, and it was too wasteful to come to New York, and you couldn't just hit the port and leave.

As a veteran admiral, Cheng Biguang knew very well that in a port like New York, it was only a matter of ten minutes for a reconnaissance plane to set up the position needed for the battery.

The artillery fire stopped for a little for more than 10 minutes, and after receiving Cheng Biguang's order, the reconnaissance plane quickly investigated those places, and finally got the safety report, Cheng Biguang gave the order again to attack New York inside, and at the same time hoisted the national flag and the battle flag.

In the early stage of navigation and attack, all kinds of flags are not raised, that is, to prevent accidents, anyway, the fantasy level and the emperor level are exactly the same, if they are really discovered, as long as the fantasy level can avoid the other party, they can not admit it, but once the flag is raised, it represents a country, and if it is discovered, the impact will be great.

But now, when the battle intention has basically been achieved, the battle flag and the national flag are raised to boost the morale of the entire navy, and the American side is told that they are the Chinese fleet, and they are retaliating for the persecution of Chinese Americans and the declaration of war on China.

The battleship suddenly accelerated, making the US military nervous, the suddenly raised battle flag, proved their identity, and the Navy and Ross expected are different, the other party's raised military flag is actually the flag of China, why is it Chinese, all the senior officers are very puzzled, and finally a naval officer put forward an uncertain statement, the cause of the Scheer fleet, a relatively clear is in Asia, Scheer left Germany for several years, perhaps to supervise the battleship in Asia, at that time everyone thought, This is a huge effort by Germany to hide the fleet, but now it seems that Germany should have exported its technology so that China also has a fleet of capital ships.

Although this explanation makes sense, another question arises, why were they able to secretly come to the open sea of New York, although the United States was not prepared and did not guard against an attack from the sea, but such a long distance, so many fishing boats, and transport ships, what kind of shipping route did they use to get here?

Questions lingered in the minds of Ross and other high-level military leaders, but the next situation became more and more severe, after a 10-minute artillery break, the other party obviously did not want to stop, they raised the battle flag at the same time, accelerated the speed towards New York Harbor, in the rushing colleagues, intensified the attack, the artillery fire, along the port began to extend, the nightmare continued.
