136. Can you win?
MacArthur instantly lay down in the command module, and as soon as he lay down, he heard a loud sound of "ping pong", the glass of the command module was shattered by flying steel fragments, and there was a string of steel collision sounds like a continuous drum, making a violent sound of "dong dong", and even a sharp and almost tooth-sore steel grinding sound
When he got up and shrunk his head and looked out, he only heard a blur of flesh and blood everywhere, and several sailors had their hands or feet directly cut off by the flying steel, wailing on the deck, and what was even more terrifying was that a soldier was directly cut off by the entire **** Qi root, and while crawling, he screamed for help and called the volunteers, leaving a long blood-stained trace where he crawled
MacArthur was utterly stunned, and the sheer fear made him almost breathless. He knew that the soldiers were completely dead, they didn't have a field hospital, and the medical facilities on these old warships were not enough to save them, and blood loss would kill them.
Mark Arthur never expected that the Chinese's counterattack would be so fierce and fierce, although he thunderously rebuked and tracked down who fired the cannon first, but fired, more than a dozen warships, although they were old warships, but the fire of hundreds of naval guns covered, also instantly cleared a large area of the dock, the fire point of the Chinese Korean Army was almost destroyed by name, and the coalition marines who had suffered heavy losses and were pressed in the corner of the pier took advantage of the situation to attack, and instantly controlled most of the pier. Many naval officers and men even laughed out loud, not seeing the strong counterattack of the Chinese National Defense Forces, because they thought that China would not dare to provoke a war, so they were slowly forced to start pressuring the warships in accordance with the naval regulations.
But I never expected that China would counterattack the air force, and it was a 500-kilogram bombshell that was bombed. It was no surprise that the first Chinese plane hit in a dive, after all, the warship had just reached the steam pressure of the start, which was almost no different from not being able to hit the target. However, the violent explosion of the 500-kilogram aerial bomb caused the laughter of all the officers and men of the navy on the warship to stop abruptly, and instantly turned into great fear, as if they had swallowed poison.
With a heavy cruiser of more than 6,000 tons, almost the entire bridge and deck were razed to the ground, and the turret was distorted by the deformation of the steel plates of the deck
"Damn it, anti-aircraft fire!" MacArthur was awakened by the roar of the plane's dive, and roared with all his might.
But how fast the plane dived, the warships were hit one after another, the explosions were violent, and the steel fragments flying in the sky almost covered the dock where the warships were moored.
MacArthur saw several warships hit with his own eyes, which broke in two on the spot and quickly sank. Under the attack of a 500-kilogram bombshell on a warship of 1,000 or 2,000 tons, it is impossible for anyone to survive at all, and the shock of the bombshell explosion can shake the living people on the warship to death.
The anti-aircraft fire of the remaining warships fired wildly into the sky to protect their own warships. As a result of the destruction of China's air force last year, the admiralties of the great powers almost unanimously ordered the installation of anti-aircraft fire on all warships.
"Sir, we can't hit each other's planes." The officers and men of the anti-aircraft machine gun crew shouted.
MacArthur roared, "Damn it, be careful, if you don't want to die." ”
"Sir, the maximum elevation angle of our anti-aircraft weapons is only 70 degrees, and the angle of the dive of the opponent's aircraft is more than 80 degrees, so we can't hit it."
MacArthur took a closer look, and sure enough, as the soldiers said, the antiaircraft weapons were installed unreasonably, and they could not defend themselves against the Chinese planes' anti-collision defense against their own ships. But this is a multi-country fleet, how difficult is it to cooperate? And most importantly, is it possible to form a good fit in this situation?
"Flag Language" MacArthur doesn't care so much, if it doesn't work, it has to be done, otherwise they will fight separately in this way, and all the warships will die and have no place to be buried. But he was only halfway through his call when he saw a Chinese plane whizzing and swooping in. A huge bomb flew over the top of his conning tower and slammed diagonally into the bow of his flagship.
"Boom" exploded violently, and the entire warship was like crashing into a hard reef at high speed, throwing his whole person out, and his eyes even saw the gun emcourse in the bow of the ship flying more than ten meters in the violent explosion and firelight, and then he himself slammed into the wall of the command cabin, which instantly almost made him feel like he had been cut by a thousand knives, and the bones of his whole body were about to fall apart, and blood was spraying out like no money.
Then, he saw several staff officers stumbling to their feet and shouting in his ear, but he couldn't hear anything, and the other party was obviously in a hurry, so he pulled him up and ran outside. Except for the bridge, he found that the front of the entire warship had been completely unrecognizable, which filled his heart with despair.
The staff officers desperately took him to a traffic boat, and the surrounding warships exploded violently one after another under the air raid by Chinese planes, and the flying shrapnel even cut off half of the head of a staff officer who got on the traffic boat with them, and the brains and blood splattered everyone's faces, but no one cared about this, and quickly started the traffic boat and rushed out.
MacArthur saw that 12 twin-engine bombers were bombarding the officers and men of the Combined Fleet in control of the pier indiscriminately, and countless Allied officers and men were flying in the bombing. This scene made his heart twist like a knife, under such a fierce bombardment, he was afraid that few people in the Marine Corps would survive, even if they barely died, and then a counter-charge of the squadron would send them all to hell.
He wanted to scream, but it was not the sound, it was a mouthful of blood spurting out, he looked around, and it was not only them who escaped in traffic boats and lifeboats, there were more than a dozen. Then he heard a loud bang, he found that his ears seemed to have recovered and heard, and when he looked back, it was his flagship that exploded violently, and a Chinese plane quickly rose in the firelight, and he saw that the superstructure of the entire warship had completely disappeared, if it wasn't for them going fast, I was afraid that there would be no scum left.
Then, the entire warship exploded violently, the ammunition depot and fuel tank exploded together, and the entire warship disintegrated in an instant, and the wreckage turned into a huge fireball.
The violent explosion caused the officers and men who had escaped in the transport boat to look back, and everyone's eyes were full of fear and they were glad that they had escaped. Soon, however, everyone's faces changed, as someone pointed to the sky and shouted, "Plane! ”
MacArthur also looked up, the Chinese air force did not leave after the bombing, and also found them fleeing, and began to dive down towards the various transport boats, this time there were no bombs, the other side's bombs had been dropped, but the ammunition of the airborne machine guns was full, and they continued to strafe, and people were constantly being shot
One of the staff officers shouted angrily, "Damn, they're going to kill them all." But despite the cursing, he kept desperately trying to avoid the traffic boat.
Vomiting blood, MacArthur collapsed on the transport boat, looking up at the Chinese plane whizzing overhead. He hated these planes at the moment, and at the same time was full of fear. The plane flew very low, he could see the all-metal structure of the other side, full of emotion and fear of the Chinese plane, but also full of worries about this war: too advanced, the Chinese plane is too advanced, too powerful. If we can't have the same, or even more advanced, aircraft, how can we win this war?
China's Ministry of National Defense in Nanjing, China, immediately notified the Presidential Office, the Prime Minister's Yamen, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when the order for the battle was issued.
The news shook the top level of China's political axe like thunder and stirred up a huge wave.
Xu Shuzheng ran into the president's office angrily, and when he saw Duan Qirui put down the phone, he couldn't care about many and shouted on the spot: "President, the Tokyo powers opened fire, and Li Bufan ordered a comprehensive counterattack, if you don't stop it"
Duan Qirui waved his hand to interrupt Xu Shuzheng's words, and smiled helplessly: "It's too late." The call just now came from the Ministry of Defense. ”
Xu Shuzheng said anxiously: "Is there really a war?" If war does break out, it will be more than just the Eight-Nation Alliance. ”
Duan Qirui laughed miserably: "It's already started, what else can I do?" Even the eighteen countries, the twenty-eight countries have to fight. As president, he knew Li Bufan's general strategic plan. As soon as it moves, China will launch a strategic bombardment against the deployment of the great powers. With more than 2,000 planes, is there room for maneuver under such an overwhelming bombardment? Since there is no room for manoeuvre, what is the use of regretting?
Xu Shuzheng hurriedly said: "The order was given by Li Bufan, this is a misunderstanding." As long as Li Bufan steps down, it is not that there is no room for negotiation. ”
Duan Qirui glared at Xu Shuzheng fiercely, and said sharply for a long time: "Youzheng, are you crazy?" Do you know what you're talking about? ”
Xu Shuzheng said loudly with a fearless face: "Of course I know." Li Bufan is a war madman, his existence has offended the whole world in China, and we are now the enemy of the whole world. The future and destiny of the Chinese nation will be buried in his hands. ”
Duan Qirui said angrily: "You shut up for me." Again, there is nothing wrong with a person liking power and ambition, but he needs to be capable. Let Li Bufan step down, who has that ability? Who did his position? Can you do it? Will the millions of officers and men of the Chinese National Defense Force, the Navy, Army, and Air Force be able to serve them? China's rise was caused by Li Bufan, without whom there would be no China today, and no one can replace his position. ”
Xu Shuzheng's face was blue and white, and he shouted unwillingly: "Do we really want to go to war with the whole world?" Can we win? ”
Duan Qirui's face turned pale, and he said stiffly: "I haven't fought, how do you know that you can't win!" ”
"So what now?"
"Drafting a declaration of war" (to be continued.) )
