Chapter 496: Landing on Guam

After packing up the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Chen Zhong gave the order to attack Guam. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info (.. )

Guam is an important military base of the US military in the Pacific. It was seized by the Americans from Spain in the Spanish-American War of 1898.

Guam is located at the southernmost tip of the Mariana Islands in the western Pacific Ocean, about 5,000 kilometers from Hawaii.

The U.S. military base covers about one-quarter of the entire island, and Guam has long been an important U.S. military base in the Pacific.

In addition to the naval forces of the Pacific Fleet, the U.S. military has also deployed a U.S. Marine Corps on the island.

Currently, there are more than 9,000 U.S. Marines stationed on Guam.

This military base, because it is thousands of kilometers away from the Asian continent in a straight line, makes it difficult for the United States to carry out effective counter-attack operations in Asian countries.

Therefore, the Guam base in Chenzhong plays a crucial role in the future global strategy of the Chinese Empire. This time, it is inevitable to take Guam.

The US Navy Command had already learned an hour earlier that the Chinese Empire's naval airships had attacked the Guam base, and the US Pacific Fleet had suffered heavy losses.

However, they did not know that the Pacific Fleet of the US military had already announced its surrender to the naval fleet of the Huaxia Empire.

However, the US military still made certain preparations, ordering the four giant battleships "Jogland," "Baleski," "Lannicam," and "Macvins," six attack submarines, LZ-71LZ-72LZ-73LZ-74LZ-75LZ-76, which had been resupplied at the Hawaiian military port, to immediately go to Guam to support the campaign to defend Guam.

After learning of this news, Chen Zhong ordered the six submarines of the Chinese Empire, which had already approached Hawaii Island, to temporarily hide outside the US military port in Hawaii and stand by.

Chen Zhong adopted Chen Fangzheng's opinion on the campaign to land on Guam. First carry out destructive artillery bombardment of its coastal fortifications to destroy its defensive capabilities in battle.

In the second step, Ma Cong's marines will land again, which will greatly reduce the casualties of the soldiers, and can also speed up the progress of the war.

Just a few hours earlier, the Empire's airships had airraided the U.S. military barracks on Guam, the U.S. Navy supply depots, ammunition depots, and radio stations.

In this air raid, the US minesweepers and warships guarding the island and most of the coastal defense facilities moored at the pier on Guam were also defeated. The US military's military positions on Guam have been basically destroyed.

At 9:23 a.m. on November 14, Chen Fangzheng ordered the Bohai Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet to encircle the island, with the Hainan Fleet as a reserve, and at the same time intercept the US fleet that might be coming from Hawaii.

The US troops, six cruisers, eight destroyers, six battleships, four gunboats, six submarine sweepers, three minesweepers, three cargo ships carrying water and food supplies, and four newly replenished giant battleships rushed toward Guam at full speed.

At 12:03 p.m. on November 14, the two fleets of the Chinese Empire arrived at the designated sea area. Chen Fangzheng ordered the fleet to start shelling the fortifications along the coast.

The US military did not build very strong fortifications on Guam, and the Bohai Fleet and the East China Sea Fleet basically opened the landing channel in less than an hour after shelling their coastal fortifications.

At 2:18 p.m., the first column of Ma Cong's Marine Corps successfully landed from southern Guam.

At 2:32, the second column of the Marine Corps successfully landed off the western coast of Guam.

At 2:38, the third column of the Marine Corps successfully landed off the western coast of Guam.

After landing on Guam, 12,000 soldiers of these three columns of the Marine Corps immediately attacked the US garrison headquarters and government mansions.

Without much resistance, they occupied these two key positions.

Then the first column of the Chinese Marine Corps began to attack the camp of the American Marine Corps.

The second column launched an attack from the northern flank of Guam, landing at Tumang Bay in the northwest of Guam and attacking southern Agana.

At 3:45 p.m., a fierce battle broke out between the third column of the Chinese Marine Corps and the U.S. Marine Corps in southern Guam.

After more than an hour of fighting, the American forces retreated, and finally, at 5:48 p.m., the battle ended.

The U.S. Governor of Guam, Guberland, gave up resistance and announced his surrender. Marine units of the Imperial Chinese Navy occupied Guam.

On the second day of its departure, the US Western Pacific Fleet received an order from the Naval Operations Headquarters, demanding that the commander of the fleet, Vice Admiral Domilek, recapture Guam at all costs.

Vice Admiral Domilek, commander-in-chief of the U.S. Western Pacific Fleet, named the campaign to recapture Guam "Operation Western Warriors" and personally commanded it.

He ordered all the officers and men of the Western Pacific Fleet to do not hesitate to have a brave contest with the fleet of the Chinese Empire for the sake of the honor of the United States and the responsibility of the country.

After receiving the order from the Naval Operations Department, Vice Admiral Domilek made an important incendiary speech to all the officers and men of the fleet.

In his speeches, he repeatedly stressed that the loss of Guam by the US military is tantamount to the loss of strategic interests in Asia and the South Pacific.

Now that the Chinese Empire's fleet has occupied this important place, the next step will be to advance further to the United States.

Vice Admiral Domilek called on the officers and men of the US Western Pacific Fleet to shed blood and fight for the glory and glory of the United States with the determination to win this battle.

Chen Zhong, who was far away on Guam, had already received information from a reconnaissance submarine in front of him, and had accurately reported the position of the US Western Pacific Fleet, and according to their normal speed, they would be able to reach the waters near Guam in about four days.

Chen Zhong ordered Chen Fangzheng to redeploy the three fleets of the Chinese Empire and the airships of the submarine group that arrived on Guam according to the strength of the US military reinforcements to Guam. A plan for the defense of Guam was developed.

Marshal Chen Fangzheng, the commander of the three fleets, the commander of the submarine group, and the captain of the aviation group finally made a decision after studying.

The Bohai Fleet, the East China Sea Fleet, and the Hainan Fleet blocked the US Western Pacific Fleet from the left, center, and right directions.

The knot is not a lonely badminton field

Aerial airships bombed the US fleet from the air, and submarines attacked from underwater, and coordinated operations to completely destroy this US fleet.

The specific plan is that a submarine group will first lay mines on the line through which the US Western Pacific Fleet must pass, and then the submarine force will ambush it.

After the submarine group carried out the first round of strikes, the airships bombed the US troops again.

After these two rounds of strikes, the three fleets attacked simultaneously from the left, center, and right.

The navy of the Chinese Empire was all ready, just waiting for the US fleet to arrive in the operational waters of Guam.
