Chapter 981 Attack on NATO Australian Military Port
Inside the base console, the changes in the Indian Ocean were all under Li Lan's close attention. ββ Title novel,
In the past month, NATO troops have made frequent moves, which is obviously accumulating strength.
NATO's attack on the Red Alert Atlantic Fleet, which led to the outbreak of war ahead of schedule, left both sides unprepared, strategically military layout, and not very capable of implementation.
NATO is accumulating strength, and Li Lan is not the same, and the small fights in some places have not stopped, and the air war between the two sides is also continuing.
The mobilization of hundreds of thousands of troops is not something that can be completed in a few days, and both sides are just constantly preparing.
In the process of preparation, all kinds of special infiltration operations have never stopped, and the seizure of the British Indian Ocean territory can be regarded as a very good allusion to special operations.
Although from the very beginning, Li Lan could have chosen not to poison everyone on the island, but to use some incapacitating drugs, and he could also occupy the islands.
But he didn't choose to do it, not that he was a murderer, but that some fighting undead people can't do it.
There couldn't be so many captives on the island, and he didn't have time to transfer them all, and in order to better control the island, so that the equipment on it would not be destroyed, and in order not to have any accidents, he would eventually poison those people.
With the improvement of chemical technology, many highly lethal toxic substances are becoming smaller and smaller, the effect is getting better and better, and it is more convenient to carry.
This also makes the efficient use of poison in special operations a good means of killing the enemy.
Whether it was the rise of special operations at the beginning of World War II. Or in the context of modern mercenary and special forces operations, special poisoning is a means and tactic often adopted.
Special forces or sleeper spies are quite dangerous in the rear. Able to accomplish tasks that one person cannot accomplish without bloodshed, as long as there are not long-term harmful means. can be adopted.
However, contrary to Li Lan's expectations, the NATO navy did not make a large-scale sortie, but still entrenched around Australia, watching its navy complete the occupation of the British Indian Ocean territory from afar.
The result soon came out, and the President of Seychelles had CIA agents lurking around him, and when the agents spread the news, they were also obtained by the technical reconnaissance team, and then the agent was completely wiped out of the world.
But this also makes NATO have no idea of sending troops, if the British Indian Ocean territory can still be saved. Then NATO really needs to come to the rescue.
But if the NATO navy, which has been completely occupied and has not yet fully assembled its naval strength, it is impossible for it to rush so aggressively to rescue an island that is no longer of much value.
The Indian Ocean is not like the Pacific Ocean, it is not as island group, nor is it like the many island countries in the Western Pacific.
There are not many islands in the Indian Ocean, especially in the central part of the Indian Ocean, with the exception of the British Indian Ocean Territory. There is simply no second island with military value.
Therefore, without the British Indian Ocean territory, NATO can only continue to rely on its allies in the western Pacific.
However, in the face of NATO's massive build-up of troops. The current strength of the Red Guard Navy in the Indian Ocean is not yet able to advance into the western Pacific without scruples.
Although the current Li Lan can come up with the combat strength of eleven aircraft carrier battle groups in the Indian Ocean at any time. But with the long trek to the eastern Indian Ocean, there are so many things to prepare.
The first one is logistics. Another is detailed war intelligence to support the fleet's ocean-going operations.
Logistically, both the Seychelles and the British Indian Ocean Territory could be relay supply points. But it also takes time to prepare, and to meet the operational consumption of hundreds of warships, this is a huge figure that can cause headaches for most economists. In terms of preparation time, it is completely unthinkable if there is no two or three months.
Although Li Lan could directly build factories on these islands, fuel and basic living supplies for naval soldiers also needed a certain amount of time to prepare.
Hundreds of warships, on which there are not a few thousand, but a hundred thousand, and the daily consumption of fuel is calculated in millions of barrels.
In addition to logistics, there is also the support of war intelligence, such a huge naval expedition to the ocean, its strategic value is only one, to kill the opponent's main naval force, otherwise it is a waste of such a powerful force.
However, it does not mean that it is necessary to advance its fleet to the range of the enemy's land-based aviation and forcibly launch a strong attack on the fleet under the protection of the enemy's land-based fighters and missiles.
This is not an attack, but a stupid act of suicide, and the value of an aircraft carrier is to provide a working platform for air strike weapons in the depths of the ocean, far from the mainland.
It is not to have a brainless confrontation with the land-based fighters on the mainland, unless it has ensured that the opponent's navy has been eliminated, and then it has reached the stage of landing operations. But that will also use other tactics, not a brainless flat push, the premise of the flat push is asymmetric warfare, and have absolute air superiority.
At present, NATO's naval forces in the Pacific Ocean have begun to be concentrated, and it is impossible for NATO's Pacific Navy to come out rashly at this time.
Therefore, at this time, Li Lan could only concentrate on preparing for the logistics construction of the fleet.
As long as a professional supply line with no worries is created, the navy can put everything down and fight with all its might.
Now, however, Li Lan's eyes are on the Nikolai Naval Base, the largest military port on Australia's Indian Ocean coast.
The base is a new base, in order to allow warships to quickly get supplies and go to the Indian Ocean to fight.
In the Pacific, the US Navy does not lack such bases, but in the Indian Ocean, these are the few military ports that can provide rapid replenishment to the Navy.
After several years of construction, the port has become Australia's largest naval port, and now it is also the most convenient large military port for NATO naval forces to go out of the Indian Ocean.
The military port is a natural deep-water harbor, and the annular trench can not only block the sight of the outside world, but also help to defend the warning and block the wind.
The port has undergone several expansions and is on the Pacific Ocean. The only port that can dock ten supercarriers at a time, and has four large repair docks. The supporting facilities on the shore are all world-class.
It's like a small city. It's just that the people who live and work in it are all workers who serve this port, and of course the most are the navy soldiers and the air force.
There are also a number of airfields next to it, in addition to the airfields that are ready to be used for aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft to dock and maintain, there are also a number of combat-ready airfields for land-based air forces, and a large cargo airfield.
It has a large number of drones and bombers, and fighter jets perform alert flight missions every day.
The water is full of all kinds of sonar detection devices, and even a small swimming fish will be found.
It is precisely because of such perfect equipment and sound safety guarantees. This became the meeting point of the NATO joint navy.
Today, there are more than 100,000 troops and tens of thousands of workers living here, as well as a large number of military families.
News of the occupation of the British Indian Ocean Territory has not been made public, and only a few people are aware of it.
Therefore, life here has not changed much, and a large number of oil tankers and cargo ships will call at the port every day to unload a large number of supplies, and busyness seems to be the eternal theme here.
On the harbor of warships, on the pier of five convex embankment structures. There are two supercarriers that are resting, quietly docked on them.
Under the aircraft carrier, a large amount of materials is being loaded into the aircraft carrier's oversized cabin, and aviation fuel transportation pipelines are carried out. Connected to the entrance of the aircraft carrier's oil depot, the aviation fuel stored in the terminal oil depot is transported to the aircraft carrier.
around, a large number of supporting warships. Replenishment work is also underway, which also indicates. These two aircraft carriers will sail in the next few days.
It's just that the calm work was quickly broken. In the distant sky, four B-52 bombers were flying in formation towards the airfield behind the military port.
According to the command of the ground control tower, all four bombers will stay away from the port and spare a circle before landing on the airfield.
The previous four B-52 bombers also obeyed the orders of the ground control tower to maintain the altitude and speed of the ground control.
But just as they were only three or four kilometers from the port, four B-52 bombers suddenly turned off communication with the ground.
The height is abnormally declining, and the speed is also accelerating.
The ground control tower contacted several times and found that there was no response, and after paying attention to the altitude and flight data of the four bombers.
The alarm was sounded decisively, as long as you are not a fool, you know the abnormality of these four bombers.
The stakes are very high, and you can only kill the wrong one and never let it go, you must know that in this world, there is still any luck in the heart, which is irresponsible for the entire war.
You must know that once these four bombers are destroyed, the warships in the military port will face huge risks.
Even if their target is not a warship, as long as the bombs inside land, it will be a huge disaster.
This change was immediately transmitted to the headquarters, and Harris instantly thought that the pilots on the four B-52s might have already become on the Somali side.
At the same time, he also realized that this was definitely the result of careful preparation on the Somali side, starting with the British Indian Ocean territory, everything was a conspiracy.
Without any hesitation, Harris immediately gave the order to destroy these four bombers, let alone the B-52, even if all four were ghost bombers, he had nothing to hesitate about.
As long as it poses a threat to the military port and headquarters, it can be decisively shot down at this time, not to mention that these four bombers have returned from places that have been determined to be enemy-occupied areas.
The air defense sirens sounded around the Nikolai military port for the first time, and everyone immediately put down their work.
The sailors ran quickly towards their warship, and all the warship's weapons systems were turned on.
The surrounding fighters also turned their positions as soon as possible and approached the four B-52s.
On the ground, the phased array radar began to operate, locking on the four bombers, and the technicians immediately eliminated the four bombers from the identification system of friend or foe. The Patriot-3 anti-aircraft missile only then began to lock onto the target.
It's just that tens of seconds have passed since this coming and going, and a few kilometers in a short period of time is enough for a bomber whose speed has increased to five or six hundred kilometers per hour.
There is no waiting for the missile launch. The four bombers had no intention of dropping bombs, and all continued to press down on the nose. Swoop down directly towards the warship on the surface port.
The most obvious targets are the two supercarriers in the harbor, not because of the high value of the carriers.
but in the dark. The target of the aircraft carrier is the most obvious, and it itself is a reference, and it is sure to make a profit if it collides directly.
In the night sky, several anti-aircraft missiles had already risen into the air and flew towards the bomber, which was at a low altitude of only a few hundred meters.
All the personnel on the ground listened to the huge roar of the bomber with bated breath, watched the bright missile tail flame, and rushed towards the bomber.
A "bang" explosion sounded in the sky, and the wing of one of the bombers was directly hit by a missile. The fire illuminated the fuselage of the bomber, and the bomber, which was burning its wings, quickly lost its balance.
But as long as the huge wings of the bomber are not broken, they still bring enough lift to the bomber, not to mention that the bomber is already in the process of diving.
The other three bombers were also shot one after another, but the fuselage of the B-52 was too large, and the anti-aircraft missiles only damaged the fighters at most.
The ground crew smiled at first, but it froze as the four bombers still swooped down towards the warship in the harbor. Today, they were all injured, but they all seemed to have their goals in mind, and their course had not changed in any way.
At this time, it was too late to launch missiles again, but on the two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers around the aircraft carrier. The Aegis system, which was not shut down in the first place, quickly organized its defense.
The two phalanx systems suddenly opened, and the dense bullets were under the dense tracer bullets. Pounced on the bombers, who were only a few hundred meters above the fleet.
A dense burst of fire appeared on the bomber, a bullet that bounced out on the outside of the bomber's alloy.
Just two or three seconds. The four bombers were already riddled with holes, and at this time the wing of one of the bombers was broken in the burning and explosion. The course of the downward dive stopped instantly, and it fell directly towards the sea.
But the other three bombers were still swooping towards the port, and at this time countless people were cursing why those factories had built bombers so strongly.
However, it was too late to say anything, and amid the exclamations of a large number of ground personnel, three bombers with a warehouse full of bombs smashed directly into the dock of the port.
In an instant, three fires exploded in the harbor, and the violent explosion even shattered all the glass in the distance, and the entire harbor was full of flames.
Under the firelight, a pair of eyes focused on the port, and in an instant everyone seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, the two aircraft carriers were still intact.
Under the powerful firepower of the phalanx, the two bombers aimed at the aircraft carrier rushed over, still slightly changing positions, and all crashed into the destroyers and frigates next to them.
It's just that the strong explosion also destroyed the warship that was hit, and the bombs in the bomber were detonated again, causing all the other warships around to suffer.
The fire even spread to the port, and everyone was involved in extinguishing the fire without any orders.
In the console, Li Lan looked at the fiery scene in the virtual projection under his feet, shook his head with a little regret, and said, "It's a pity that those terrorists didn't succeed in hitting the aircraft carrier. β
Terrorists have always been Li Lan's first choice for suicide, because of other arms, he is really a little reluctant.
Although terrorists are considered to be lives, they are too single in their feelings, and their minds are full of devastating thoughts, and they cannot integrate into this society at all.
Therefore, among all the arms recruited by Li Lan, terrorists are the least, but they have always been the most practical.
As a national leader, he often needs these dead soldiers who are not afraid of death to complete some tasks that ordinary people can't do.
No successful person's means are clean, let alone a country, you must know that the country's means are the darkest, if the law is used to measure all the country's secret means.
All countries in the world have been sentenced to life imprisonment, and no country has been wronged.
This is the national interest first, and all so-called truths are secondary in the face of state means.
Li Lan is no exception, so he needs these terrorists, and he often comforts himself, which has nothing to do with his personal feelings, everything is just for the good of the country.
Now, he can ignore this method, and he does not feel responsible for his personal emotions at all, nor does he let personal emotions dictate his own thoughts.
Every time he woke up, he clearly felt the changes in himself, perhaps in a high position, he had become accustomed to everything around him, and his former thoughts seemed to have become extremely naΓ―ve.
"Natasha, the NATO troops on the Turkish side, haven't they moved yet?" The virtual screen of the console, the gossip city that changes the night view of the unbeautiful city, Li Lan asked Natasha.
"So far, there has been no large-scale military mobilization, but NATO has accumulated millions of troops in Turkey, each army is elite, and the preparation of logistics has entered the final stage of continuous months of hard work, and I believe they are already moving quickly." Natasha analyzed.
"I have a hunch that the NATO side is about to sit still, and now that the British Indian Ocean territory is occupied by us, it is equivalent to the last nail of the NATO coalition forces in the Indian Ocean has been pulled out by us, and at this time NATO will inevitably want to seek a breakthrough from other aspects, so that intelligence personnel will pay close attention to NATO's military dynamics, and any transfer of troops must be recorded in detail." Li Lan instructed.
"I have already ordered to go down, and now our troops are all ready, whether to continue to wait." Natasha asked.
"What we're going to do now is just work at ease." (To be continued......)
