Chapter 398: Domination of Southeast Asia
"Führer, what a collision?"
In the command hall of Yingtian's General Staff, Wu Zurong listened to the voice coming from the radio and cautiously asked the head of state who was drinking tea.
"They want to play exciting, then give them a real thrill, tell Yang Yuntao, target Midway, the US military will hit me if you don't give way!"
Yang Feng said with a sneer.
"Bang, just hit it! I'm going to see who's going to cross whom! The two ships have a combined displacement of 100,000 tons, and the scene of crashing together is worth dying! ”
Yang Yuntao, commander of the battleship detachment of the High Seas Fleet, who received the order of the Führer, shouted excitedly.
Of course, he knows that he will be fine, even if he really hits it, it will be a loss for the people of the United States, although the Huaxia is actually lighter than the tonnage of the Midway, the latter is fully loaded with 60,000, and the Huaxia is full of 46,000, but the Huaxia is a battleship with heavy armor and the structure is also full of watertight compartments, and the Midway is an aircraft carrier with only light armor protection, which belongs to the thin skin and big stuffing, and the Huaxia is almost the same as a pure iron lump Needless to say, who is the most unlucky when it collides.
Under the leadership of their arrogant commander, the officers and men of the Ming Navy on the Huaxia Yanhuang II also ignored what they meant by doing so, and one by one they excitedly stared at the Midway in the distance, and rushed straight towards it at a speed of twenty-nine knots.
"Order the St. Paul, aim for a salvo in front of the Huaxia!"
On the Midway, Vice Admiral Clark said with a solemn face.
Immediately after that, on the Baltimore-class heavy cruiser St. Paul, nine 203 mm main guns were pressed down at the same time, aiming at the front of the Huaxia and spraying flames, and nine water columns immediately rose into the sky on the sea surface.
"Aim at it, and as soon as a shell lands on our ship, we will open fire!"
Yang Yuntao ordered without hesitation.
The main turret in front of the second ship of Huaxia Yanhuang rotated at the same time, and the twelve terrifying three-five-six-millimeter main guns were quickly aimed at the São Paulo, and this caliber of artillery was not something that the cruiser could withstand. Even a single hit may cause fatal injuries, not to mention that the accuracy of the full set of radar fire control and aiming is quite high, and once the fire is fired, this heavy cruiser of more than 10,000 tons may be bombed into slag in an instant.
Looking at this scene, Lieutenant General Clark frowned.
"Order the St. Paul, the Louisville, to get out of the way and block their course."
He did not dare to give another order to open fire to intercept. Obviously, the style of these Ming troops is not like any Chinese he knows, the barbaric and fierce is half a pound and two with the Soviets, and it is best not to play too much with such a guy, after all, he does not have a very good chance of winning if he really wants to fight, there are not only these two Ming warships here, the Kunlun aircraft carrier formation is still pressing in the distance, and the pirate attack aircraft overhead is carrying guided bombs.
The USS St. Paul and the USS Louisville, another ship of the same class, in the U.S. fleet, immediately sped forward, preparing to block them on the route of the Huaxia Yanhuang II, but of course Vice Admiral Clark was not prepared to actually collide. If they really want to collide, these two heavy cruisers will be directly smashed in half and sunk. The impact force generated by the speed of 46,000 tons and 29 knots is quite terrifying, and the lives of nearly 2,000 sailors are not child's play, not to mention that in this case, the United States and the Ming Dynasty will only have war, and the bottom line of the order he got is that the interception must not be turned into a war.
"Commander, what should I do?"
On the battleship Huaxia, the captain looked at the heavy cruiser St. Paul, which was cutting to his course, and asked Yang Yuntao.
"Avoid it, the target is still the Midway."
Yang Yuntao said.
Führer Yang said that if he wanted to collide, he would hit the Midway, and the two small heavy cruisers were not worth colliding with at the level of Huaxia Yanhuang.
The two battleships, which were sailing in a straight line, adjusted their course at the same time. Avoid the course of the collision with the second ship of the São Paulo.
"Madamn, you bastards!"
Lieutenant General Clark gritted his teeth and cursed.
It is clear that the Ming army has torn its face. The initial nonsense of mechanical failures and the like was completely thrown aside, and they crashed into the Midway without giving way.
"General, look at the Ming warships behind."
At this time, the chief of staff said with a telescope.
Vice Admiral Clark immediately raised his binoculars and pointed at the rear of the Huaxia Yanhuang 2nd ship, the eight Qi Jiguang-class destroyers were lined up horizontally on the sea surface, and the twin Styx anti-ship missile launchers in the middle of the hull were aimed at this side at the same time, and it was obvious that once the US fleet attacked the Huaxia Yanhuang 2nd ship. There will be a salvo of sixteen anti-ship missiles in an instant.
"The Canberra bomber of the Ming army!"
At this moment, an exclamation rang out from the command room of the USS Midway.
Lieutenant General Clark raised his head, and in the distant sky, dense Canberra bombers appeared in his field of vision, and the number would not be less than sixty. Obviously, these were two bomber groups organized by the Ming army, and these bombers were notorious, and most of the losses of the Soviet Navy in the Ming-Soviet War were caused by them. After seeing these bombers appear, there was a burst of confusion on all the American warships, and countless sailors hurriedly rushed to the anti-aircraft guns, nervously watching the approaching Canberra group of planes.
The U.S. Fury Plane, which was confronting the Ming carrier-based planes in the sky, immediately caught up with it, but at the same time, Tiger Shark fighters loaded with missiles flew in front of the Fury planes in a brazen manner, showing off their wings and belly seven Thunderbolt air-to-air missiles.
Vice Admiral Clark turned his gaze to the sea again, the two Ming battleships had adjusted their course for the second time, slightly formed a certain angle, and collided at high speed from the left and right sides at the same time, the direct distance between the two sides was less than three kilometers, and the two Keeling-class destroyers guarding the Midway had begun to accelerate their course to them, preparing to block their impact on the Midway again.
Vice Admiral Clark believed that their blocking would succeed, and the Ming battleships would not collide with him, but no matter which American warship they collided with, as long as they collided, they would ignite the huo medicine keg, and in the current situation where the two sides were ready to fly, it would inevitably turn into a war, and the order he received was that this interception must not be allowed to turn into a war.
It is impossible for Eisenhower to start a war with Yang Feng for this trivial matter, in fact, he also cannot afford the consequences of starting a war, so the Soviets will die of laughter, and the principle of the US government towards Yang Feng is containment and control, but absolutely no war.
What's more, even if it really fights, Lieutenant General Clark has no chance of winning, and his dozens of fury are probably only the result of total annihilation in the face of hundreds of air-to-air missiles of the Ming army, and the power of the Ming army's guided bombs has been verified with the lives of thousands of Soviet sailors, and in front of the two brigades of Canberra bombers, he does not think that his defense will be better than that of the Soviet Pacific Fleet.
What's more, there are those mysterious anti-ship missiles on the Ming destroyers, and more Ming bombers that can continue to arrive from Yingtian at any time.
In that case......
"Get out of the way!"
Lieutenant General Clark said through gritted teeth.
The 60,000-ton huge body of the Midway, which was blocking the course of the Huaxia Yanhuang 2nd ship, immediately started slowly, and at the same time, the two destroyers that were originally about to sacrifice their lives to protect it turned to abandon their mission at the same time, and a minute later, the two battleships, which did not slow down at all, almost passed less than 200 meters behind the Midway.
Lieutenant Admiral Clark stood on the violently shaking flight deck and watched the two steel castles pass in front of him.
At the same time, several U.S. warships north of the Midway also moved out of the way, carrying His Majesty the King of Annam and his cabinet with the Huaxia Yanhuang II ship through the U.S. fleet and heading straight for Phu Quoc Island, which was more than 10 kilometers away. However, the Canberra bombers in the sky did not leave, and the two groups of bombers, together with a squadron of pirates in the air, also flew to Phu Quoc, and soon columns of exploding smoke began to rise on this island, which was less than 600 square kilometers.
The Ming army began to bomb the South Vietnamese army defending the island.
Ten minutes later, the Huaxia Yanhuang 2nd ship also joined the attack, and the loud sound of 20 356-mm naval guns firing was clearly heard in the US fleet.
The US soldiers, whose pressure of war had suddenly disappeared, stood on their decks one by one looking at Phu Quoc Island with great interest.
"Ten years, less than ten years, a real power, both military strength and economic strength, is enough to be included in the world's top five powers, just like nothing to appear in this poor and backward land, such a miracle is really unbelievable."
Lieutenant General Clark looked at the island shrouded in gunsmoke and said with some emotion.
The chief of staff did not answer him, but turned his head to look at the southern sky and said: "Their airborne troops have arrived!" ”
There was a large group of transport planes.
True, the Ming airborne troops arrived.
However, to be precise, this is not the Ming army, but the ASEAN rapid reaction force, because the time is in a hurry, the recruits have not had time to complete the training, so this time the combat operation on Phu Quoc Island is an airborne brigade of the Ming army to change the vest, in fact, it is not a change of vest, because the ASEAN rapid reaction force is only a different logo, and other military uniforms and equipment are exactly the same as the Ming army.
An airborne brigade took off directly from Yingtian, flew over the head of the US fleet, circled in the sky for a while, and after the bombers and warships at sea had completed their attack on the South Vietnamese troops defending the island, they immediately parachuted down and began to clean up the remnants of the South Vietnamese army.
Of course, it's not a cleansing.
There was no garrison on Phu Quoc Island before, and Ngo Dinh Diem urgently transported a regiment over, but more than half of those people were killed and wounded in the bombing, and now an elite airborne brigade of the Ming army was dropped, how could anyone dare to resist, a bunch of remnants of the army came out directly to surrender to His Majesty the King, and in just a few hours, this island rebelonged to His Majesty the King of Annam.
Immediately after Nguyen Phuc Thanh led his cabinet members to the island and officially announced the relocation of the government of the Kingdom of Annam, all loyal ministers and righteous people should hurry up! (To be continued.) )
