404.Chapter 404: Special Attack
In order to keep our Canadian Governor so busy that he did not have time to ponder why his wife had been stranded in Peking for so long, the Windsor Empire once again escalated its military confrontation with the Allies by announcing the resumption of the North Atlantic route from Central and South America to Europe.
First, the world's first unmanned container ships were used to reopen the North Atlantic route to avoid casualties or capture of the Windsor shipping empire.
The Windsor Empire must have done so with the certainty of war, so the two major maritime powers in Europe, Britain and France, did not dare to take immediate military action. This could not be done, and the war had to begin, so the UNSC Navy soon announced that it would block the Mediterranean route from France to North Africa.
North Africa is an important industrial raw material center for France and Britain, and in this case, they have to fight. France is not capable of fighting Windsor in the Mediterranean, and it will be up to the British Cyclops to show their might again.
Downing promised the Governor's wife not to move Canada, but did not promise not to move the British mainland, Ireland is the sphere of influence of the Catholic Church, and it has always been unaccustomed to the English, and now it is only afraid of the obscenity of the British Empire and submitted, but it is not really subjugation, so once the British Empire is greatly threatened by the Windsor Empire, the people of Ireland are ready to move.
Downing himself did not have a good opinion of Catholicism, but for the sake of war, he could use unofficial forces to support Irish power.
In order not to expose themselves, they could not support the Irish with the weapons used by the United Nations, but fortunately, the K-series rifles invented by the Russians were very easy to make, and all countries copied them, and the Entente could not tell for a while that it was a knockoff produced by the Windsor Empire deliberately reducing the level of production. Arms have never been copyrighted.
Ireland is the closest British island to the North American mainland, and it would be terrible if it became the domain of hostile powers, so it was a must for Britain. Compared to the Japanese, the British were poorly prepared for war, with only 5,000 fighters in total, and they had to defend major ports and central cities, so only 1,000 were able to participate in Armageddon.
France prepared 500 planes for Armageddon off the Irish Sea and formed an Anglo-French alliance with the British, and Windsor the Great finally had a chance to fight the Anglo-French forces.
The number of fighters on the UNSC side is almost 1,500, of which 1,000 are from the traditional aircraft carrier battle group from the Spanish military port, carrying a small 10,000-ton aircraft carrier converted from a King-class heavy cruiser, fortunately, the fighters in Windsor are vertical take-off and landing, so the 10,000-ton aircraft carrier can also accommodate 100 of the latest tilting twin-rotors.
The Windsor Regiment uses a mixed battle formation of unmanned and manned formations, with two-thirds unmanned and one-third manned. When the flight and the battlefield are clear, you can enter the automatic combat mode as a whole, and once the situation becomes difficult to judge automatically, you can enter the manual mode to fight the enemy to the death.
The first naval battle took place in the Irish seaport of Waterford, a military town located in southern Ireland that united **** to cut the route between Ireland and the British Isles, just 135 kilometers from Dublin.
A total of 6 aircraft carrier battle groups of the British and French forces entered the battlefield, with the combat strength of about 500 fighters, while the Windsor Army had a slightly stronger mobility ability, with more than 700 fighters rushing to the battlefield, of which 300 were carried by 10 Pelican aircraft carriers, and the rest were carried by 4 King-class aircraft carriers.
The rest of the combat ships were all supporting roles on the battlefield and were not worth mentioning, and submarines did not play the main role.
The fighters of the United **** are not only superior in number, but also take off faster, and the number on the battlefield is even better, often reaching the level of two to one. And the biggest surprise of the British and French forces is that they also equipped the fighters with close-explosive shells, which have an advantage over the joint **** fighters in terms of firepower, and have regained a little disadvantage.
After most of the day's fierce fighting, the British and French forces lost 120 fighters, and the Windsor army lost 98 aircraft, which was a slight advantage. This is a slight advantage, because two-thirds of the Windsor fighters are unmanned fighters, and only a dozen pilots died in the 98 lost fighters, and the number of British and French soldiers is ugly, and 80 excellent air soldiers died heroically.
The Windsors wanted to fight again the next day, but the boss had already ordered them to retreat. Because the fourth princess begged Downing not to invade Ireland, he had no choice but to settle the matter, and an inexplicable battle ended inexplicably.
Ireland's * armed guerrillas have finally taken shape, with only a thousand men, but with the support of the warlords of Windsor, it is very different, and our technical emperor is also a good guerrilla fighter, and will never be as hard as ordinary special attack teams behind enemy lines.
The supply of partisans is always the biggest problem, and Downing's solution to this problem is unimaginable to others, and the core lies in breaking through the anti-aircraft radar of the British. The higher the plane flies, the less easy it is for the radar to detect, and now the highest aircraft is the laser thruster, and Downing started its idea
For example, a frigate bird spirals up to more than 2,000 meters in a hot air flow and then flies in a gliding attitude, almost reaching a gliding ratio of 50:1, that is, gliding 50 meters away for every meter dropped.
So the warship bird is able to fly more than 200 kilometers effortlessly without flapping its wings. Downing's supply artifact behind enemy lines is to create this kind of 50:1 glider, and the satellite launch ship converted from the Guò King class heavy cruiser lifts off to 30 kilometers with laser propulsion, and then begins to glide towards the target, theoretically able to deliver 150 kilograms of supplies to 1500 kilometers away.
Affected by wind speed, downdraft, etc., it may not reach the theoretical value, but 1200 kilometers can always be reached, this glider is only equipped with a small amount of adaptive attitude adjustment power under the navigation of satellites, the cost is very low, and the glider itself can be dropped every time it is airdropped, so this customized super glider itself is a container with wings.
After arriving at the destination, the wings automatically snapped, the parachute was opened, and 150 kg of supplies were delivered to the guerrillas. With the help of satellite communications, the guerrillas could change the place of receiving supplies every day so as not to be attacked by government forces.
Including food, medicine, guns, ammunition, clothing, etc., each Irish partisan needed about 5 kilograms of supplies, and a total of 50 gliders were consumed. The glider can be recycled, so it would be a good deal to let the guerrillas not throw away the fuselage compatible, and in the future after the victory of the army, the glider will only lose that pair of wings.
In such a cost-effective situation, the research team was also criticized by the leadership, why did they have to break the wings and put them away? So there's a more cost-effective one later, and the second-generation glider is working on a fully recyclable super airdrop package. No other army in the world has put its newly developed equipment to the test in the field like the forces of the warlords of Windsor.
Every time a supply ship launches a glider from at least 800 kilometers away, and there is no trace of it, it has become a big puzzle for the British and Irish, and sometimes they can intercept the hull of one or two gliders, and then they are very puzzled, where did this thing come from?
In fact, this is a retaliatory measure by the United Nations against the Entente for funding the Native Americans against the government of the American Republic, and it is much more ruthless than the support of the Entente. This special attack team of more than 1,000 people roamed around Ireland without worrying about supplies, and the dragon could not see the end of the dragon, which became a nightmare for the British to rule Ireland.
Canada can't move, can it? That could also hit the idea of the United States, which has strong economic ties to Canada. Doesn't the United States support indigenous peoples? The natives are not only in the territory of the Republic, but with the supply artifact that is airdropped thousands of miles away, the Republic can also be concocted in the territory of the United States.
As a result, plans for indigenous guerrillas began to be hatched, especially for the indigenous tribes along the U.S.-Canada border. The hatred between the indigenous tribes may have been greater than that between the natives and the colonists, so after the Windsor Legion supported some of the tribes, these natives fought among themselves first, and the pro-Windsor tribes, who had been given advanced weapons, were able to defeat the feuding tribes at first.
Soon, however, other tribes were supported by the United States. From time to time, the pro-Windsor tribes also fought a dozen United States ideas, and in short, North America was a scuffle.
If the war between North America and Ireland is still only harassing, then North Africa is different, since the connection between North Africa and the European suzerains has been severed, it is better to take it as a whole. It turned out that the old helicopter gunships of the Windsor Empire were enough to deal a fatal blow to the air power of the Entente in North Africa.
The UNSC ultimatum was sent to the Egyptians, the first leg of the UN's westward expedition. The Spanish army was heavily deployed on the Algerian border, which restrained the French from concentrating their forces on Egypt. The Allied air forces in Egypt were completely unmatched, but they had a lot of anti-aircraft guns that could explode closely.
In order to sweep away these hateful anti-aircraft guns, the joint **** concentrated more than 10,000 infantry fighting vehicles this time. Due to the appearance of armor-piercing shells, the United Nations ground attack force did not dare to support it at this time, and 2,000 of the more than 10,000 combat vehicles were newly produced main battle tanks and equipped with thick beveled armor.
The Entente, under the influence of the UN, paid special attention to the development of the Air Force, and it was not thought that the ground forces could go to the next level, and this time they miscalculated again. Cairo was surrounded by tanks, and every day a large number of air defense units were rushed by the enemy on the ground to solve them. Desperate high-ranking Egyptian officials flew into exile in Britain and France.
Want to fight guerrillas? Once again, UN forces have done the same thing, setting up Bluetooth cannons blocking all roads. The Prophet the Great's goal of using drought to defeat the Egyptians was finally unattainable, as he had already achieved it with tank twists and turns.
Egypt's nest was ended, the Sudanese region surrendered under the pressure of the Ethiopian army, and the North African battlefield Entente lost half of the country, and the situation was quite unfavorable
