Norfolk Naval Base, the largest naval base of the U.S. Navy, has been attacked by the Imperial Chinese Naval Air Force for many days, destroying a large number of military facilities in the base. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.infoi

Because the U.S. Navy's Ocean Fleet was defeated by the main force of the Chinese Imperial Navy, and the Norfolk base was the home port of the Ocean Fleet, more than 90 percent of the remaining U.S. ships hid in the Norfolk base military port.

Chehepike Bay, where the Norfolk base is located, is the largest bay on the east coast of the United States, and is home to a large number of port cities, where one-third of the U.S. Navy shipyards are concentrated. Therefore, it has become the main place for the US military to build and maintain warships.

With the defeat of the U.S. Ocean Fleet, a large number of U.S. warships were wounded and towed to the dock for repairs, and for a time all the docks in the bay were full of warships under repair, and more than one-third of the damaged U.S. warships were parked at the dock and waited in line.

The U.S. Department of the Navy gave these shipyards a death order to complete the repair of all warships within a week. With the industrial strength of the United States, this was possible, so the Imperial Chinese Navy decided to carry out a landing operation in Chehopike Bay to completely occupy the area and prevent the resurrection of the American Navy. The first to bear the brunt is the Norfolk base at the mouth of Che Ho Pike Bay, and only by conquering here can you conquer the entire Che Ho Pike Bay.

At the same time, the four Iowa-class battleships and four Olympia-class battlecruisers that the U.S. Navy has begun to build are also under construction in the docks of six large shipyards in this bay, and these eight super battleships with inch guns are also something that the Imperial Chinese Navy has coveted for a long time, and Li Dingxin vowed to get his hands on these eight super battleships.

The 7th and 8th Marine Divisions under the jurisdiction of the Fourth Marine Corps of the Imperial Chinese Navy were responsible for the Norfolk landing campaign.

The equipment of the 7th and 8th Marine Divisions was also one of the most advanced units of the Chinese Emperor, and since they were formed two months after the outbreak of the war, they were all equipped in style. The T2 sweeper vehicle, which was specially improved for landing, and the T2 sweeper, which was specially designed to deal with the US military's coastal anti-landing obstacles and mines, was actually a protective bulldozer, a shoulder-mounted rocket launcher, and advanced weapons and equipment such as the KT7 flamethrower.

The real research of the amphibious combat vehicle is still in the Beiyang Weapons Laboratory, and the military first took out this amphibious combat vehicle is actually equipped with an air cushion on the territory of the army-style combat vehicle, and a simple lifebuoy is installed on all sides, so that it can float on the sea surface, and is used to drive the combat vehicle to wade through a propeller at the tail. This was improvised for the needs of the war, and although it was somewhat ridiculous, it was much better than the previous situation in which the Chinese Emperor's landing operations were often transported by seawater and could not complete tactical tasks.

The strength of the tank has been tested by the Imperial Chinese Army in the Black Blitzkrieg campaign, the United States currently does not have any tank is its opponent, no anti-tank gun can destroy it, the US army can only rely on explosives and artillery and other weapons to deal with it, but the Chinese Emperor adopts a coordinated combat method, and it is difficult for American soldiers to get close to the tank and attack it with explosives packs. It is even more difficult for US artillery to hit combat vehicles, and it is basically difficult to accurately hit the target. Landmines are the best defensive weapon, but the T2 sweeper specially developed by the Emperor of China to send mines can not only clear the anti-landing obstacles on the coast, but also shovel out a safe passage for the Emperor of China's chariot troops to pass through. i

The shoulder-mounted bazooka is a single combat weapon developed by Beiyang Ordnance Heavy Industry of the Chinese Empire based on the rockets carried by the Hellfire fighter. The reason for this is the Air Force's dissatisfaction with the ability of rocket combat, and only large-scale collective air-launched rockets can improve the hit rate, and when fighting alone, the rocket base cannot hit the opponent. However, the Air Force has achieved great results in using airborne rockets in ground support, destroying enemy tanks and fortifications very effectively, and even simply killing and wounding enemy soldiers is also very effective.

However, when the army was fighting, sometimes it could not get air force support, sometimes the air force even bombed its own people, and it was impossible for the air force to provide support at night. The U.S. military often carried out large-scale counterattacks at night when the Imperial Chinese Air Force was unable to dispatch, which caused considerable losses and passivity to the Imperial Chinese Army.

To this end, the Army demanded the development of a man-soldier rocket firepower equipment that did not rely on the Air Force. So Beiyang Ordnance Heavy Industry began to develop a shoulder-launched rocket launcher, which also received the strong support and suggestions of the emperor Wang Chenhao, which seems to have become a practice for every weapon expert in the empire to ask the emperor for advice before developing weapons.

The rocket has been developed for a long time, so there is a certain foundation, it is not very difficult to develop it, plus Wang Chenhao's guidance, Beiyang Ordnance Heavy Industry Co., Ltd. then conducted a test at the Zhaonan base test site on May 17, 17 years of Guanghua, and the experimenters used five rocket launchers to continuously launch rockets at the moving combat vehicle target vehicle, and all of them hit. This aroused the attention of Major General Li Lan, who was in charge of the development of weapons and equipment for the ground forces of the Chinese Empire, and he immediately decided to put it into small batch production and take it to the United States for battlefield testing.

The bazooka only transplants the warhead of the grenade to the rocket, which solves the problem of insufficient power of the original rocket, and expands the caliber of the rocket launcher to 0 mm according to the structure of the Type 0 rocket mounted on the Hellfire fighter, and also installs a shoulder rest, handle and battery launcher, thus becoming the world's first 0 mm rocket launcher that can be used in actual combat to be used for anti-tank and destruction of enemy fortifications.

The bazooka is composed of a launch canister, a shoulder rest, a flame shield, a sheath, a bomb stopper, a grip, a straps, a sight, a launch mechanism and a safety device. The canister is a monolithic steel cylinder with a ring-shaped flame shield welded on the front, a crosshairs and a gauge base welded on the face, a grip connecting ear underneath, and a leather heat-resistant sheathing in the middle. The shoulder rest is made of wood, and behind the shoulder rest is a section of the launch canister, which is wrapped with steel wire to reinforce the barrel. The transmitting mechanism is composed of the transmitter body, the trigger, the trigger spring, the circuit contact ring, the circuit break insurance, the flashlight battery pack and wire, and the inspection lamp. One end of the strap is attached to the bottom of the grip and the other end is tethered directly to the back of the barrel. The bazooka is equipped with a mechanical sight consisting of a crosshair and a gauge.

In terms of ammunition, the rocket launcher is equipped with an armor-piercing rocket, which consists of a warhead, a mechanically triggered fuse, a rocket engine, an electric ignition device, a transport insurance, and a backward folding tail. The warhead is composed of a hood, a projectile body, a powder hood, a hollow charge, and an initiating charge column. The hood and body were made of thin steel plates, and were filled with 2 grams of TNT and Black Sorkin mixed explosives. The combustion chamber and nozzle of the engine are made of steel, the charge structure is 5 single-hole double-base columns, the electric ignition device is located in the middle, and part of the active section is bare outside the cylinder.

In terms of its overall structural characteristics, this bazooka structure is very simple, strong and reliable, but because the Imperial Army urgently needs this kind of firepower, it was developed hastily, and it appears to be somewhat rough and cumbersome.

However, for the US military, which has no knowledge and experience in this area of defense, this weapon that appears on the battlefield for the first time is enough to cause heavy losses to the US military.

The KT7 Flamethrower Vantage can be a flamethrower carried by a single soldier, but a flamethrower team is still composed of two or three soldiers, one of whom is a flamethrower and the other is two or two observers. The Flamethrower is equipped with a self-defense pistol in addition to a flamethrower, while the Observer is usually equipped with a light machine gun to provide cover for the Flamethrower. Unlike the bulkiness of earlier flamethrowers, the latest KT7 flamethrower from the Chinese Empire was a single flamethrower, weighing only 38 kilograms, with a tank mixed with 20 litres of No. 19 combustion and compressed nitrogen, at a distance of 25 to 30 meters. KT7 flame thrower can spray all the oil storage at one time, and can also carry out fifteen short bursts, when the short burst shot, the ignition restrictor valve and the ignition signal pipe in the liner are opened and closed at the same time to control the amount of fuel injection.

The Chinese Empire attached great importance to flamethrowers, mainly from the experience of fighting against Japan. In the war against Japan, the Chinese Emperor used flamethrowers to burn or force out the Japanese troops in the coastal fortifications, and then machine-gun fire, achieving considerable results. Therefore, during the war against the United States, the Imperial Chinese Army purchased a large number of such weapons to deal with the American troops in the basement of the fortifications.

With these advanced weapons and equipment, the strength of the Imperial Chinese Marine Corps will be greatly enhanced, and the landing operations will be easier and the casualties will be smaller.

On July 7, 1917, the third day after the victory of the Imperial Chinese Navy in the Battle of the Atlantic, the Fourth Marine Army was mobilized to participate in the Norfolk landing campaign.

After conducting a large number of human, geographical, and water-ripple surveys of Norfolk, the largest base of the U.S. military, the landing formation, under the cover of the Imperial Navy fleet, headed for Chehopike Bay. The second and fourth aircraft carrier battle groups also set out for assembly, and the first aircraft carrier battle group had left for New York the day before.

Two days earlier, the Imperial Chinese Naval Air Force had dispatched 40,000 sorties of fighter planes and bombers to carry out a series of air raids on US airfields in cities around Norfolk.

At 6:20 a.m. on July 7, the carrier-based aircraft of the Imperial Chinese Naval Aviation took off for direct aviation fire preparation.

Twenty minutes later, the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy dispatched their main battleships to take advantage of the battleship's powerful naval gun firepower and began to prepare for naval gun fire.

"Knock knock!"

Twelve super battleships concentrated their firepower to bombard the US positions on the Norfolk coast, opening the prelude to the Norfolk landing campaign.

The fierce shelling continued until half past nine in the afternoon, the Fornock base was completely surrounded by gunpowder smoke and flames, and after the US airfield was blown up, the number of fighters that could take off in time was very small, and the more than 2,000 fighters that had been prepared were only able to take off a few dozen planes at a time on the alternate runway because of the bombing of the runway, and more than 2,000 US planes arrived one after another from the vicinity of Norfolk an hour later.

In this way, the US fighter group could not form a local numerical superiority, and most of the aircraft of the Chinese Imperial Naval Air Force at this time were Hellfire fighters and Thunderbolt fighters, because the early Cat Demon carrier-based fighters had basically been exhausted, and the additional aircraft were all fighters with advanced performance. As a result, after the war between the two sides, both in terms of quantity and quality, the Chinese Empire took the upper hand.

Under the fierce attack of the naval aviation of the Chinese Empire, the two sides fought in the air for more than an hour, and the US planes suffered heavy losses in this refueling tactic, and they were forced to flee after losing hundreds of fighters. The naval aviation of the Chinese Empire won and seized air supremacy in the Norfolk airspace.

Subsequently, the U.S. Air Force tried to counterattack, sending fighter and bomber groups to attack the Imperial Chinese Navy and the landing fleet, but was fiercely intercepted by the Imperial Chinese Naval Air Force and the fleet's anti-aircraft fire, losing a large number of fighters and bombers.

As a result of the fierce air battles over the past few days, the US Air Force has suffered huge losses in its combat planes, and the land battlefield has also lost a large number of combat planes, with the result that the US aircraft manufacturing capacity has been far from being consumed; at this time, the US Air Force has not many combat planes left, and the Air Force pilots have suffered particularly heavy losses, with veterans dying and novices dying even faster, accelerating a sharp decline in the quantity and quality of the US Air Force.

At 11 o'clock in the afternoon, the naval aviation of the Chinese Imperial Navy, which completely seized air supremacy in the Norfolk airspace, suffered heavy losses and was forced to abandon the air battle. Half an hour later, the anti-aircraft artillery and anti-aircraft machine gun positions of the US Norfolk base were all destroyed, and the Chinese Imperial Naval Aviation could attack the US troops on the ground with impunity.

In the face of the powerful firepower of the Chinese Imperial Navy and Air Force, the US troops at the Norfolk base were unable to return fire at all, and as soon as they left the underground bunker, they were either killed or smashed into a meat sieve by the machine guns of the fighters that suddenly swooped in. Every time they saw the bloody scene of the battle beside them, the American soldiers who had never fought were terrified, and there was still a trace of the fighting spirit of the soldiers.

Shortly after the start of naval shelling, the first wave of landing troops of the Chinese Emperor sailed to the beach. At the same time, carrier-based planes fired fierce low-altitude strafing at US positions on the beach, fired rockets to destroy protective fortifications, and covered the landing force to seize the beach.

At 9:55 a.m., the first wave of the landing force reached the landing beachhead codenamed "Bingtan" off the west coast of Norfolk, and the fire of carrier-based aircraft and naval guns turned to attack the US defenses in depth. Soon, the second and third waves of the Chinese Emperor arrived one after another, and they landed in turn.

The sweeper motor roared along the shore, and the bulldozer-style shovel quickly shoveled out a safe passage, destroying the anti-landing obstacles, mines, and other facilities laid out by the US military on the coast, and opening the way for the amphibious combat vehicles and infantry combat vehicles that landed later.

The first batch of 30 combat vehicles and 10 infantry combat vehicles used tank guns and vehicle-mounted heavy machine guns to strafe the surrounding U.S. troops from the shore of Virginia Beach, suppressing the resistance of the U.S. troops and forcing them into bunkers. They were followed by the infantry, who were only responsible for covering the security of the tanks and infantry and preventing the American troops from approaching.

When the chariot broke through, the Chinese Emperor quickly wiped out the remnants of the American army, the rocket soldiers fired rockets to destroy the American fortifications, burying the American troops alive below, while the ordinary infantry threw grenades into the underground bunker, and the Pyro sprayed fire inside, and the American troops inside were either blown up or burned to death, and those who could not hold it ran out of it, and were killed one by one by the Chinese Emperor who was ambushed on all sides.

Because the US Navy Department pursued the tactics of protecting ships and did not allow the remnants of the US Navy to go into battle, the Imperial Chinese Navy easily cleared the mines and chain obstacles placed by the US troops in the bay, and the fleet swaggered into Chehopike Bay and attacked US facilities and ships in the bay in all directions.

The U.S. military used the ships as fixed fortresses and naval guns as fortress guns, and fought fiercely with the Imperial Chinese Navy. However, once the warship does not move, it loses its real role. The moving Imperial Chinese Navy warships could easily hit the immobile American warships, especially the powerful super battleship main guns, which basically damaged the immobile American warships with one shot, and the smaller American warships were sunk with one shot.

After an hour of fierce fighting, more than half of the US warships in the bay of the Norfolk base were sunk one after another, and the officers and men of the US Navy who remained behind were evacuated.

Although there were more than 100,000 US troops in the Norfolk base, they had been blown up by the Chinese Imperial Naval Aviation in the past few days, and the soldiers of the Atlantic naval battle had completely demoralized the hundreds of thousands of US troops in the base, so that when the Chinese Emperor rushed to land on the beach, the US troops resisted for a while, and seeing that there was no naval and air force support, they immediately retreated and directly retreated into the base, causing the Chinese Emperor to surround the entire Norfolk base without any effort.

The Chinese Emperor first attacked Darwin Ridge, the commanding heights on the south bank of the Norfolk base. There were only three battalions of U.S. troops guarding here, and in the first ten minutes of the battle, the U.S. troops resisted very fiercely, but when the chariot of the Chinese Emperor appeared, the U.S. troops immediately turned around and ran.

After capturing the Darwin Ridge Fort, the Chinese Emperor used the battery's artillery to cover the right flank to attack Catherine Ridge. The defenders of Catherine Ridge held out for fifteen minutes, inflicting hundreds of casualties on the Chinese Emperor. Vantage called for air fire support, twelve Hellfire fighters fired a large number of rockets and killed the American commander, the trees around the battery were hit and set on fire, the ammunition depot was also hit, the battery was in flames, the defenders were killed and wounded, they were forced to retreat, and the Catherine battery was captured.

When the 56th Battalion of the Chinese Imperial War attacked the Lofo Bay Fort, the 77th Battalion also launched an attack on the Walesminton Hill on the south side of the Lofo Bay Fort, in an attempt to conquer Wellsminton Hill in one fell swoop, and then advanced northward to cut off the retreat of the American troops at the Lofo Fort, and cooperated with the 56th Battalion to carry out a north-south flank attack.

The two battalions of American troops stationed in Welshminton Hill resisted stubbornly, and the artillery also cooperated with the bombardment, causing dozens of casualties to the Chinese Emperor. But soon, the U.S. troops abandoned the U.S. Army and fled due to the commander Colonel Ronaldle's greed for life and death, which led to the collapse of the U.S. Army and the fall of Welsh Minton Hill.

After capturing Mount Welsminton, the Chinese Emperor advanced westward to Norfolk Airport, cutting off the retreat of more than 3,000 American troops who had been withdrawn from the Rover Battery, and soon forced the American troops from these batteries to surrender.

At this point, all the outer turrets of the US Norfolk base were occupied by the Chinese Emperor, and the 170,000 American troops who were cowering in the Norfolk base became turtles in the urn, while the Chinese Emperor who surrounded them had less than 30,000 people.

The commander of the base, Nacker, saved even the effort of covering up, and directly told all the US officers that there were no reinforcements, and the supplies without food were all blown up, and they could not be beaten, so he carried the white flag, beat the gongs and drums, and surrendered to the Chinese Emperor with 54 generals, and the Chinese Emperor did not expect that the US troops would surrender so soon, so the main officers were all at sea, and it was a lieutenant company commander who accepted the surrender of General Nacker and 170,000 US troops, which became the most comical scene in the history of the war, and was cited as a great shame by the US military.

On the afternoon of July, the Chinese Emperor officially occupied Norfolk, captured the ships of the US Ocean Fleet, planted the Chinese Imperial Dragon Flag, and the US Ocean Fleet was completely annihilated, and the Norfolk landing battle ended in just one day.

At this point in the war, military strategists all over the world are almost certain that the US military has been broken to the backbone and has no confidence to fight against the Chinese emperor. The cabinet of the Chinese Empire once again raised the amount of reparations, from $20 billion to $50 billion, which immediately frightened the whole world.
