Chapter 407: Razing Mogadishu

"Bang! Boom! Boom! "The Taitokaze-class destroyer located at the outermost part of the Japanese fleet automatically activated two MK-15 Phalanx close-in guns after firing three standard anti-aircraft missiles, and the six-barreled 20-millimeter Gatling rapid-fire gun poured out 1,800 shell-piercing shells in the bomb bay at a maximum speed of 4,500 rounds per minute.

"Boom!" The V-1FJ, which exploded in advance, relied on the huge inertia to penetrate the broken projectile body into the body of the Taidaofeng-class destroyer, and the huge fireball immediately mixed with fierce smoke gushed out from various gaps in the Taidaofeng's body, although the 300-kilogram warhead did not complete the accurate kill, but the damage caused by the remaining high-speed projectile fragments was by no means less than the power of two 155mm high-explosive armor-piercing shells.

The Taitokaze-class destroyer, with a displacement of only 4,000 tons, immediately lost its power supply after being bombarded by missile debris, and all the defenses of the whole ship stopped in the darkness in an instant, and in the dark night where the five fingers could not be seen, a V-1FJ followed with a deafening explosion that tore the entire Taitokaze-class destroyer in half directly from the middle, and 227 officers and soldiers of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force sank into the icy waters together with countless steel fragments in the huge whirlpool.

More V-1FJs began to swarm in, and the firelight on the sea surface was extremely shocking, and with the detonation of nearly 100 standard SM-1MR anti-aircraft missiles launched by Japanese ships one by one, countless fireballs, large and small, dyed the entire pitch-black sea into a shining patch, and everywhere were shocking detonations and red ballistics fired by the MK-15 Phalanx close-in defense gun. The calm sea has become the bottom of a boiling pot.

"Boom! Boom ......"

The Japanese ship's nearly saturated anti-aircraft missile launches finally paid off, as one V-1FJ after another was destroyed in the endless sea when it was still some distance behind the target. The air was filled with violent explosions and shards of steel flying everywhere, and the tyrannical images made all the sailors on the Japanese ships feel the most primitive fear from the depths of their hearts.

"Boom!"

In interceptions at any cost, there are still sharp arrows that successfully break through the defenses. A V-1FJ completed a wonderful impact under precise guidance, the 300-kilogram armor-piercing blast projectile exploded all the energy after penetrating the shell of the King Kongo, the lead ship of a Kongo-class destroyer, and the unstoppable destructive force formed a vacuum detonation area with a diameter of 20 meters inside the heavy ship with a full load displacement of 9,500 tons within a hundredth of a second, and the huge high temperature and strong pressure directly crushed all the steel components encountered into powder, flowing everywhere with flames and smoke. A gas turbine that powers the entire ship finally detonated violently.

Less than a minute after the first gas turbine exploded, the other three gas turbines inevitably exploded, and dozens of SDF soldiers who were trying to manage the damage were easily annihilated by the huge flames. With the destruction of the ammunition depot and the oil depot one after another, the gray-faced fleet commander had to give the order to abandon the ship and escape in pain.

The last V-1FJ exploded helplessly in mid-air under the fire of four standard anti-aircraft missiles, and although a large landing ship was lucky enough to avoid the disaster, a small minesweeper near the center of the explosion had to withstand the flying steel shards piercing the hull at extreme speeds, and after a burst of "clanging" knocks, dozens of soldiers covered in blood fell in the cabins.

A total of two Japanese warships fell prey to the first performance of the V-1FJ anti-ship missile, and about 600 soldiers of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force were permanently left under the icy sea, and this was only a salvo of eight V-1FJ launchers, which doubled the number of launchers used for the attack. Then at least five or more SDF ships will have to pay for Tokyo's stupidity.

However, the matter did not end there, outside the town of El Adai, under the command of "destroy", the missile crew did not hesitate to press the self-detonation device. Not only were all eight launchers destroyed, but even the useless anti-aircraft missile units were mercilessly destroyed.

More than a hundred missilemen took up arms and went down after the breakoff of the special brigade. Set off towards the established retreat point.

Just five minutes later, a large fleet of helicopters arrived from all sides. The three longbow Apache flying in front of them had not yet seen what the burning wreckage in front of them was, six man-portable anti-aircraft missiles. The helicopter was almost hovering, and in the dark night and torrential rain, after seeing the incoming missiles, the pilot's reaction speed was fast enough, but the helicopter's reaction speed was half a beat slower.

When the two sides made close contact in the air, three bright flames bloomed in the air, and the burning wreckage fell weakly from the air, adding a bit of brilliance to the burning wreckage of the launch vehicle on the ground.

"Withdraw!" More and more enemies were approaching, and Yang Li waved his hand and made a withdrawal gesture.

More than a dozen Red Alert special forces began to evacuate, not in the same direction as the evacuated missilemen, their task was to cover the departure of the missilemen, and the three Longbow Apache were killed just to attract a little attention. They know how to survive under heavy enemy siege, and if the missile crews are caught up by these helicopters, it will be very lucky.

At this time, it is not suitable to continue to return to the underground bunker of the town, the coalition forces will definitely carry out a focused search of the town, and the underground space will be exposed sooner or later.

In Mogadishu, at the headquarters of the Fourth Expeditionary Force of the Coalition Forces, U.S. Army Lieutenant General Mike Brown. As commander of the Second Expeditionary Force, Jon never let up in his heart since he effortlessly captured Mogadishu.

The Fourth Expeditionary Force was not going well, especially in the Galcayo offensive, where the coalition heavy forces had carried out many joint attacks, but the Somali Army, after resisting the attack, was able to counterattack with the strength to counterattack. And the other side is also a heavy army, equipped with more than two hundred main battle tanks, in addition to the previously famous Rhino tank, there is another super tank, the tonnage and performance of which is not at all weaker than its own army ace tank M1A2SEP.

This makes the war, which is already difficult to win quickly, even more difficult. Jon could deeply feel that he was in a quagmire. After receiving the order from the General Headquarters to turn offense into defense, Jon smiled bitterly in his heart, since it was a quagmire, it was not so easy to get out.

Fortunately, the arrival of the whirlwind gave him more time to arrange the change of military situation.

However, the Red Guard Corps did not intend to make him comfortable, and in the past two days, around Mogadishu, coalition patrols and alert units suffered a total of 20 special attacks, and more than 100 soldiers were killed, which made the lieutenant general feel very bad.

A Japanese peacekeeping team had just been attacked north of Mogadishu, killing the entire squad and destroying all three armoured vehicles it was travelling in. Just when he made up his mind to send elite troops to encircle and suppress, disaster struck again.

Outside the port of Mogadishu, the 3rd Self-Defense Group of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force, which was escorting the transport ship, suddenly received a blow from an anti-ship missile. At this time, it is impossible to describe what happened to Jon at this moment, looking at the two silent Japanese warships on the sea in the distance, although they are not American warships, Jon is even more uncomfortable in his heart.

On the side of the couch, which allowed others to sleep soundly, and now there was a poisonous snake beside him, how did Jon keep his composure.

Coalition helicopter units patrolling around Mogadishu rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and the patrolling forces immediately cordoned off the suspicious launch site.

However, just when everything looked like the enemy was about to encounter, Jon had just taken the coffee handed by the guards, just as the unloading at the port of Mogadishu was about to be completed. Yang Li pressed a very special detonating device.

In just an instant, a great catastrophe came, and the earth shook as if the end of the world was coming. When 40 huge orange-red clouds evaporated and the rain rolled up, Mogadishu, the former capital of Somalia, was completely annihilated in the intense firelight.

The power of the explosion of 4 million TNT is extremely terrifying, at the beginning, only a few self-exposed trucks made the huge Washington without extremely fast and complete glass, and now 40 self-exposed trucks exploded at the same time, and its power can completely destroy Washington, let alone Mogadishu.

These self-revealed trucks have been modified in appearance, all of them are broken, and in order to prevent the US military from discovering them, they also specially created a disaster scene of being blown up, which also avoided the coalition soldiers who passed by from time to time. After all, no one cares about a dilapidated truck that overturns on the side of the road, and it doesn't get in the way anyway.

The coalition headquarters in the underground bunker, before Jon could take a sip of coffee, the entire bunker collapsed in an instant, and he didn't even have a chance to react.

At the port of Mogadishu, six self-exposing trucks were hiding in the surrounding streets and alleys, and the explosion of 600,000 tons of TNT leveled not only the port, but also the transport ships parked in the port. The helicopter flying in the sky was instantly swept away by the waves of the explosion and tumbled to the ground.

And the huge tremor caused by this explosion is no less than a magnitude 7 earthquake. Even Bagua City, more than 900 kilometers away, can clearly feel this tremor.

Yang Li and others, with the help of the attraction of this explosion, completely broke away from the pursuit of the coalition forces.

When the aftermath of the explosion was over and the smoke cleared, all the buildings in Mogadishu were gone, and the entire city was razed, leaving only forty huge craters. (To be continued......)
