This is definitely not a good news, before because of the calculation of experts, so that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, damage and destruction, these are two concepts, as long as the Panama Canal is not affected, anything can be considered, when the time comes, it is nothing more than a question of how much money is spent, even if the Panama Canal will be closed, but the incident will definitely not be too long, and even to a certain extent, this dam can still be used reluctantly, as long as the calculation is done.

But now, there is a possibility that the Panama Canal will be destroyed, although the possibility is still quite small, but who can guarantee it? Once the Panama Canal is breached, the blow to the United States will be strategic.

The commander of the navy said with some anger: "What about the ships nearby, where are they located?" ”

The Admiralty officers on the scene were a little helpless, after arriving at the mainland of the United States from the Cheng Department, there was no good news, before letting the fleet come from Britain, and it would take time to start crossing the entire Atlantic, but at present, the other party has been close to the United States, in an area that can be contacted, close to the US coastal waters, and can barely communicate through some means, for example, communication boats, for example, barely close to the radio, on the whole, it is not reliable, but the adventure can still be used, just one or two signals, Under the agreement, the location is informed, and the less data there is, the higher the security, and it is impossible to achieve smooth contact and mutual communication, but the report location is okay.

One by one, the closest to Panama is 1,000 nautical miles away, which means that even if it is at a speed of 20 knots, it will take at least 50 hours.

At this moment, for the dam of the Panama Canal, any little bit of time, is very important, the structural engineer, according to the structure of the dam, the other party's attack, has made a basic judgment, 36 hours, enough for Cheng to break through the dam, from the beginning of Cheng Biguang's attack, it has been 12 hours, and in another 24 hours, the dam is in danger of being destroyed, at this moment, the distance of 1000 nautical miles, the minimum of 50 hours, the nearest ships can not reach the vicinity of the dam, How can this be good.

All the naval officers looked at each other, and no one dared to say a word, but in the silent room, the deadlock was finally broken by the commander of the Atlantic Fleet, who tried to say: "Your Excellency, we should not think about this now, we should think about how to keep Cheng Bu behind. ”

This is a high-ranking officer's suggestion, he actually got to the point, although they did not expect that the Panama Canal would be attacked, but one thing is certain, in 50 hours, no fleet can rush to the Panama Canal, if the other side attacks in this way, there is no possibility of blocking, unless the other side slows down, but is it possible?

You don't see, it's already dusk, but the other party's fleet, there is no retreat, the torpedo boats guarding the Panama Canal, ships of all sizes, most of them are okay, but the locks are blocked, at this time, there is no way to come out, even at night, there is no way to sneak attack, this is completely different from the situation in New York, the target of the lock is too big, coupled with the fire on the dam, there is no possibility for the fourth to open the lock for a sneak attack.

If the U.S. military were a little braver and took the risk of coming out of the locks, even if only 20 torpedo boats came out and attacked at night, they might not be able to sink those Emperor-class warships, at the very least, so that the other side would not be able to attack at will, so as to buy time.

In fact, these officers of the U.S. Department of the Navy do not know that even at night, they do not have the possibility of a sneak attack, although the ship can be concealed at night, so that the small boat can risk approaching the big ship, and achieve the effect of squeezing the big ship with a small one, but for the Fantasy class, this is completely useless, a few years of time, not enough for China, to create the best radar, but the marine, with a certain degree of restrictive radar, has been made, installed on the top of the Fantasy class, with this radar, The fantasy class has an extra pair of eyes that can see everything, coupled with the excellent anti-aircraft guns in flat fire, unless it is to use a large light patrol to attack, otherwise, it will not be able to escape the consequences of being sunk by an anti-aircraft gun attack, compared with large-caliber naval guns, anti-aircraft guns are simply fatal to deal with small boats.

Americans have no choice but to pray for God's blessing to a certain extent, but unfortunately at this moment, God is useless. Time passed slowly, even if it was night, the fleet did not stop the intensity of the attack, after all, it was a fixed location, there was a deviation at night, and it had little impact, every once in a while, the fleet would shoot flares through anti-aircraft machine guns, and re-determine the plan, the efficiency was a little lower than during the day, but it was really not much, in such a continuous attack, one night passed slowly, and the whole night, the commander of the fortress did not sleep, they were afraid that the dam would collapse, and when it came to the day, the dam still did not collapse, This gave them a slight sigh of relief, and they might be able to continue, at most 40 hours, and the supporting fleet would be able to arrive.

The groggy commander of the fortress has not slept well, the sky is already bright, the officers in charge of the lookout, they saw an amazing scene, the gap above the dam, has reached a radius of 40 meters, the depth, also exceeded 50 meters, almost the dam is about to be shot through, under the huge weight, the position of this key point has been greatly affected, and then, the attack of the Cheng Department has also changed, no longer using armor-piercing shells, no longer using incendiary bombs, all high-explosive bombs, more than 400 kilograms******** After the explosion again and again, in the closed cave, the pressure generated could not be released, all of which were projected into the dam itself, far away, it can still be felt, the vibration of the dam, everyone knows, the end of the dam is only a matter of time, even if there is a rescue fleet, drive away these fleets, the dam may have to be overhauled, the damage caused by a long-term attack cannot affect the strength of the dam for the time being, but for a long time, This impact will definitely appear, and when the time comes, the security risks will be great.

It's a pity that in the telegram, the closest warship to them is still 800 nautical miles away, to arrive here, the earliest is tomorrow night, or even tomorrow morning, obviously, this dam can't last so long, they can only wait for the final result of the dam at this moment, God willing, Jesus forbid, under absolute strength, nothing can be reversed, unless Cheng Biguang decides to stop the attack on the dam, but this is possible, the dam is related to a strategic task in the future, Cheng Biguang could not stop without any impact.

The only difference is that Cheng Biguang is waiting for the news of the victory, but the commander of the fortress can only wait for the news of the defeat, starting from dawn and continuing until the afternoon, almost 2 o'clock, there are more than a dozen high-explosive bombs, which entered the dam in turn, at this time, the sound of the explosion is a little strange, muffled, with some kind of vibration, and even after the explosion, the vibration is increasing, everyone knows, The dam is no longer in place at this moment, and since the attack began yesterday morning, it has been almost 32 hours, at least 4 hours faster than the 36 man-hours booked by the Americans, and the dam is about to collapse.

More than 100 meters thick, 300 meters wide, close to 100 meters in height, huge to the extreme, finally ushered in the limit, when this last straw that broke the camel's back, after the final detonation, near the gap in the dam, suddenly a huge crack, like a spider web, spread outward, the huge dam suddenly appeared damaged, in the dam itself pressure, the pressure of the upstream water, and the combination of destruction, finally produced, the dam is on the verge of breakage.

The roar intensified, the tremors intensified, and at this moment, the fantasy class was also ready for the last round of ****, they had to prepare for the terrible water in Panama, and after the final attack in the last 10 minutes, they left this sea area. The last 10 minutes of **** made the part of the crack of the spider web increase from 1 to 5, and the speech, the damage of the dam could no longer be stopped, and the dam of the Panama Canal finally died.

A loud sound came, located at the bottom of the dam, three dams have collapsed, this is the weakest link, as long as enough attack, it will form a gap, this gap, will be driven by the pressure of water, gradually increase, the whole dam situation will be irreversible.

Countless cracks continued on the dam, and the two gaps finally merged into one, a huge gap with a diameter of more than 100 meters, so that the dam became fragmented under the impact of the water flow, at this moment, there is no need to look more, the damage of the dam is irreversible, and Cheng Biguang observed all this from a distance, without any reason, immediately reversed the direction and began to leave.

After the battleship left, the damage to the dam not only did not reverse, but gradually intensified, under the huge gap of 100 meters, the huge amount of water formed, countless water was washed into the Caribbean, even the battleships hiding inside the dam are the same, they can't leave, as far as possible in the past time, but how far can they go, not to mention the ships that come in, they are piled up in the locks, once the locks collapse, their results are doomed, in the face of the flood, Even the 10,000-ton steamer has become a toy, especially the gap is not big, one by one the steamers, under the impetus of the current, hit the dam, the remaining dam, under the impact and explosion, even more seniority, this dam, which cost the United States a huge amount of money and time, finally died, the Panama Canal can no longer be used, was completely destroyed.
