Chapter 1389: Destroying the Statue of Liberty

Cheng Biguang looked at his watch, at 6:39 in the morning, the result calculated by the computer was quite accurate, and he could even calculate the exact dawn time in New York in Baotou, which made him feel very magical, many things, as long as he used it easily, he didn't have to know this principle, just like the command system and fantasy level, his job was only to command this battle.

From Qingdao, China to New York, USA, tens of thousands of nautical miles, he went all the way, scene by scene are engraved in his heart, four capital ships with a total displacement of more than 180,000 tons, in the past long time, successfully broke through the defense line, quietly arrived off the coast of New York, this is a miracle in itself, and at this moment, his task is almost half completed, success is almost inevitable.

It's Thursday, the day of work, but at this time, most of the people who go to work are still asleep, only a small part is preparing for today's breakfast, only a small number of cleaning staff, cleaning up on the main street, a huge, the world's most countable city, is about to wake up from a deep sleep, even the busy port, have become quiet, those ships leaving the port at night, have already left the port, after the early morning, is quite little, at this time above the port, only a small number of night shift duty, people who are about to get off work, inspecting the cargo in the port yard.

With the help of the faint skylight, Cheng Biguang first set his sights on today's first target, the Statue of Liberty, which is located on Liberty Island at the mouth of the Hudson River in New York, and is not in the open sea of New York, but was selected as the first target, but New York in this era is far less developed than later generations, from Lower New York Bend to Upper New York Bend, there is not much obstruction, in the unobstructed bay, they can clearly see the huge bronze statue located at the mouth of the river.

Cheng Biguang didn't have any thoughts about this huge bronze statue, which looked like a huge copper bump, but he was a little strange in his heart, why did the central part take this place as the first target of the attack, fortunately, it was just a bronze statue, and it didn't take him long.

At this time, New York who came out of the dark night, there were more things to see, and even the harbor was clear at a glance, looking at New York that was undefended, and there was not even a mine blockade, Cheng Biguang smiled slightly, the United States has really been peaceful for too long, they don't even have the most basic defense, this is just a joke, even if it is located in China's safest military port in the Bohai Sea, there are a large number of lookout posts and patrol boats, 24-hour uninterrupted patrols, and even a large number of aircraft.

Perhaps, this is the relationship between the two sides with different priorities, this huge and important city in the United States, but from now on, it will become a battlefield and will be engulfed in the flames of war.

With radio, inform all gun emplacements to be ready, but a bronze statue, 1 ship's 12 guns, 3 salvos, can destroy him, they use special armor-piercing shells, armor-piercing performance is excellent, for this kind of armor protection, just ordinary bronze objects, the destructiveness is amazing, even the limit, a hit to the point, will make him fall apart.

Large-caliber 15-inch, 52 times the caliber of the naval gun, equipped with the most sophisticated tungsten steel armor-piercing projectile, this armor-piercing projectile can easily pass through the mean steel plate about 1 meter, especially now, through dynamics and fluid dynamics, the shell can maintain more kinetic energy, the use of low-speed heavy bomb, not only the weight of the shell is large, for the speed of the maintenance of good degree, especially for heavy targets.

This time, not only did the Statue of Liberty need to be knocked down, but it would even have to be destroyed, so that he could not repair it casually. A bronze statue that took more than ten years to build may be an unimaginable work of art, and even has the value of cultural relics, but in Cheng Biguang's eyes at this time, he saw that this was just a target for attack.

On the battleship, the soldiers who had already been prepared had all arrived at the key position, and the flashing red light represented the beginning of the battle, and the Fantasy class responsible for the attack began the final wave of determination according to the already determined shooting elements.

The long voyage, the perseverance of hard work, and finally at this moment about to give birth to the fruits of victory, which is exciting for every soldier, the Americans' approach, in their opinion, is simply madness, not only detaining China's huge supplies, but also exploiting tens of millions of Chinese Americans, not only taking away all their property, even the rations they rely on for their livelihood, if it were not for China's timely evacuation, I am afraid that more than half of the tens of millions of Chinese will die in the United States, just like this, in a very short time, Nearly 400,000 people eventually died because of the United States, which is unforgivable for China, which values life.

One by one, the soldiers were engrossed, one by one the inspection of the prescribed items, the huge muzzle of the cannon, pointed at the Statue of Liberty in the distance, according to the data given by the computer, made the final adjustments, and waited for the order to fire.

"Ready, put!" With the order, the fantasy class aimed at the Statue of Liberty, and then began the first salvo, 12 guns fired almost simultaneously, and the high-speed flying artillery, in only a few tens of seconds, even faster than the sound, crossed the distance between the two sides, less than 20 kilometers. In the observation post, it can be clearly seen that at least 4 shells hit the Statue of Liberty, among them, the two shots in the chest part did not pass through the Statue of Liberty, but gave the Statue of Liberty a huge wound, and the rest hit different parts, such as the hands, legs, countless fragments and stones fell, and the entire island became a piece of gunsmoke.

No one thought that the Statue of Liberty would be attacked, and the Americans on the island didn't even know what was going on, they thought it was an earthquake, but countless fires and explosions told them that it was not an earthquake, but a war.

The Statue of Liberty, not a military department, although there is a small group of American troops on duty, there is no cable telegraph installed, they are not even able to contact the New York military port in the first place, the chaos and explosions, they are overwhelmed, and the people who have just woken up, even if they hear the sound of artillery, will not realize that they are being attacked.

3 rounds of artillery fire, less than 1 and a half minutes, the Statue of Liberty has been knocked down, as far as the current attack is concerned, the least broken into 5 sections, the head, legs and ****, is the most violently attacked, the head and **** broken into countless pieces, it is completely destroyed.

New York also seemed to have spotted the situation of the nearby island, but before they could report it, the shells fell on their heads. New York is not a military port, at least there are no large-scale formed warships, according to intelligence, there are some torpedo boats, but the torpedo boats are inside the estuary, or even deeper, where unless the Fantasy class penetrates deep into the vicinity of the estuary, it is still a choice of other targets.

Among the many targets, the merchant ships anchored in the harbor became the best targets, and while attacking the Statue of Liberty, Cheng Biguang also ordered the other three ships to prepare, and when it was confirmed that the Statue of Liberty was destroyed and could not be repaired, a new attack came.

The first wave of attacks was directed at these merchant ships. Because the Great Lakes region is the most important heavy industry base in the United States, as one of the estuaries of the Great Lakes region, New York is not only the financial center of the United States, but also the largest port

Against merchant ships, there is no need to use armor-piercing shells, and even large-caliber naval guns are a bit wasteful, for safety, the battleship did not approach, but still maintained a distance of 20 kilometers, and carried out a wave of free fire at the port, a full 20 rounds of artillery fire, almost 1000 shells hit over, most of them were high-explosive shells, which immediately turned the calm port of New York into a fire.

At least 200 ships were sunk, and the entire New York port, warehouses, and even most of the ancillary equipment were reduced to ruins, and the war finally landed on the Americans two years after the United States entered the war, and taught them a profound lesson.

Not to mention anything else, just these 200 ships, it is enough to make this attack effective, because it is the early morning, yesterday a day loading and unloading ships, they will be concentrated in the port, waiting for today's departure, but did not expect, but it is a catastrophe, 200 ships, 3 percent are full of supplies, half of them are raw materials, from Europe, or the Americas, the other half are military goods, this day's attack, at least more than 300,000 tons of military supplies were destroyed,

If you count the warehouses on the shore, the losses will be even greater, and even the port of New York will not have a few months, it is impossible to return to normal, if it is just this, it will affect at most one port of New York, the United States, but the development of New York is not just because of his port, so this attack is not all in the future

In New York Harbor completely entered a sea of fire, after destroying a large number of merchant ships, next, the battleship began to start, although not the highest speed, but head inward, obviously approaching the direction of the estuary, at this moment, from the first wave of kilograms to now, 10 minutes have passed, the sky is brighter, the New York authorities confirmed that it was attacked, after some searching, New York Harbor noticed that there was a fleet in the open sea, attacking them, because it was outside the main channel, Outside of the anti-Boti, not many fleets will think about this direction, but this is deadly, battleships, especially capital ships, are not only the main force of the decisive battle at sea, but also the main force of the ground attack, and their arrival is simply a nightmare for New York.
