Chapter 453: The Wrath of the Indian Ocean Fleet

The paratroopers drew most of the attention and attention of the Allies in the rear, and on the Gulf of Oman, reinforced regiments of marines on order also began to land.

Carrier-based aircraft on the aircraft carrier began to rise into the air to conduct fire reconnaissance of the landing site. On the land of the Gulf of Oman, this position is also the key direction that the Allies have always wanted to attack. Because on the opposite side of them is the dock of the Jaske base.

It's just that near the sea, no Allied troops dare to come here, because there are still six Chinese warships on the sea. If they dare to approach here, they will only become a target for warships. Therefore, no matter how important this place is, the Allies do not dare to really put their troops on the seashore.

Only three kilometers from the sea could the attacking Allied forces be seen here. Although this place is also within the range of naval artillery, these Allied soldiers have become "accustomed" to the Chinese artillery fire. Everywhere there is artillery fire, and everywhere there is the Chinese Air Force. And staying here is much better than being on the surface of the sea and facing the warships of China directly. At least in terms of casualties, there will be a lot less unnecessary sacrifices.

Stretching three kilometers from the sea to the land, and from here continuing to the interior of the land for five kilometers, this area is the location of the Allied attacks all along.

Outside the sea, many black dots flew in the sky, which stunned the attacking Allied troops, and then many people began to react. Definitely a Chinese plane, because here the Allies could not even find a single fighter capable of taking off. However, what puzzled them was why these planes came to sea.

They only saw it when the planes began to approach them. These aircraft are not jet fighters, but carrier-based aircraft of Chinese aircraft carriers.

The main force of China's navy has arrived, and this is the signal released by these carrier-based aircraft.

As soon as Edward, who was cursing the Chinese Air Force, received the news of the arrival of the Chinese Navy, a continuous stream of "Shet" and "Fake" broke out from his mouth again. This Allied lieutenant general has completely disregarded the image.

In the face of paratroopers, he could order his infantry to intercept, but in the face of the Chinese navy. He couldn't come up with any forces that could fight back, and in the Indian Ocean, the Allied sea power couldn't even take out a single warship on the table. This is called how Edward is going to compete with the Chinese Navy.

"Ordered the troops close to the sea to immediately retreat three kilometers. Concentrate on attacking the Chinese defense line two kilometers in front of us. Leave their navy alone. If there is no way to break this line of defense today, then all of us will have to go to court-martial. Command the troops, the attack must not stop for a moment, as long as they dare to retreat. Shot on the spot. "In Command. Edward's command was heard far and wide. It was his roar.

Now he has nothing to do. Chinese reinforcements have arrived, and there is another day. If it can't be defeated, the result will either be a retreat or a counterattack by the Chinese army. This was the case, Edward was angry, but he didn't lose his mind, and he saw the situation very clearly.

It's just that Edward didn't know that Chinese reinforcements had indeed arrived, but not as he thought.

Sixteen helicopters arrived at the beach, six of which searched the entire beach, but found no defensive positions or firing points constructed by the Allies. The situation here was then reported to the amphibious landing ship.

The remaining ten marines in the transport helicopter began to rappel down on the beach. Cooperate with attack helicopters in the sky to occupy the high ground on the beach and guard the landing force in the rear.

The warships of the Indian Ocean Fleet began to approach the beach, especially the four amphibious landing ships, which quickly approached the shoreline, and in the docks behind, amphibious tanks and armored vehicles and landing craft continued to emerge. Quickly rush to the shore.

Other Marines quickly climbed down the rope ladder and into the landing craft, a boatload of landing craft filled with Marines, lined up behind amphibious tanks and armored vehicles, as well as landing craft that had previously departed from the dock.

Twenty minutes later, when all the Marines of a reinforced regiment had come ashore, they assembled in battle formation and began to stretch out to land.

At this time, Edward did not expect that after the arrival of the Chinese Navy, it would also bring a reinforced regiment of nearly 5,000 marines, which was also mixed with a large number of amphibious tanks and amphibious armored vehicles.

Wu Xingguo, commander of the Chinese Indian Ocean Fleet, stood on the bridge of the battleship Weiqing, listening to the report from his subordinates, and his thoughts drifted away. As a descendant of the Nanyang Naval Division, he was born in Mawei District, Fuzhou, and graduated from the Command Department of the Chinese Naval Academy for the first time. After more than 20 years of stormy seas, he has now become the commander of the Indian Ocean Fleet, carrying a vice admiral on his shoulders, which can be said to be infinitely beautiful.

But he was not satisfied, because he had never participated in real combat. Although he has performed very well in peacetime, a naval general who has not experienced war is definitely not a qualified general.

Situations like his are common in the Chinese naval admiral system. After all, there are very few opportunities for large-scale battles in the Chinese Navy, and only a few admirals are fortunate enough to be able to pass through the baptism of war. In addition to the admiralty generals, Liu Haijiang is one, Di Wolf is one, and nothing else.

When he received an order to support Jask, although this was also an order to fight, Wu Xingguo was not too excited. What he longed for was a confrontation between two fleets on the ocean. He did not aspire to support ground operations, although it was also the responsibility of the Navy, but he did not feel much honor.

However, Wu Xingguo is not unhappy, and being able to have the opportunity to show his skills and show the strength of the Chinese Navy is also a task worth paying for him. Although it is not what he aspires to, he will do his best.

Moreover, the Allied army's sneak attack on Jask also made him feel particularly angry. Especially at this moment, standing on the bridge of the ship, you can still smell blood from the sea breeze, and in the distant sky, the vultures that are scattered by the plane. This scene made Wu Xingguo's anger even worse. How many people would have to die to have such a bloody smell.

Regardless of which side these dead men belonged to, it is enough to show the intensity of the battle. Even if these dead people were Allied soldiers, the losses of the Chinese side would not be small.

"Report, the 7th cruiser formation and the 13th tanker escort group directly under the Jask base have called, accepting our orders, under the unified command of our Indian Ocean Fleet, and they are currently converging their fleet." A staff officer walked up to the bridge and reported to Wu Xingguo.

When approaching Jask, the Indian Ocean Fleet sent an order to the Chinese warships outside the port of Jask. And those warships also found an organization and immediately agreed to the requisition of the Indian Ocean Fleet.

"Immediately order them, together with our attack fleet, to form a joint attack array on the battle line, and in five minutes, launch an artillery bombardment of the Allied forces on the shore. Continue to urge the reconnaissance planes to point out the important coordinates of the Allied forces as soon as possible and find out the Allied headquarters as much as possible. Wu Xingguo had a murderous intent on his face, and he believed that the Weiqing, which was more than 70,000 tons under his feet, could give the allies a great deterrent.

"Yes."

"According to the report, the Marines have all landed and have advanced towards the Allied forces as originally planned." The fleet communications officer passed by the staff officer who went to carry out the order, and reported to Wu Xingguo: "The latest information from Major General Dai Anlan, commander of the Jask base, has sent the latest information that the Allied forces have begun to concentrate on the inland side. The attacking forces at the Jaske base are also making adjustments, revising the original plan and delaying the general attack by five minutes. ”

"Call back, the message has been learned, and the total attack time has been delayed by five minutes." Wu Xingguo nodded and ordered: "Send a telegram to the commander of the Marine Corps Reinforcement Regiment and ask them to pay attention to it, and delay the attack time by five minutes." Flares must be seen in order to attack. ”

"Yes."

At the same time, the paratrooper units that had been assembled in the rear also received a notice from Dai Anlan. The formation, which was approaching the rear of the Allied forces, began to slow down.

In the Allied east-north, motorized rifle divisions had begun to attack in formation. As a special squadron of the infantry division's spearhead units, it began to pull out the small units on the periphery of the Allied forces one by one.

As time passed, the Allied forces concentrated their forces from the south near the sea to the north. Wu Xingguo received an artillery order from Dai Anlan.

Wu Xingguo, who was already waiting at the command center of the Weiqing bridge fleet, gave the order to attack: "All ships of the Indian Ocean Fleet pay attention, and conduct the first salvo according to the established firing elements. Let those bitche-raised whites see the power of our Chinese Navy. Ready, fire. ”

Wu Xingguo's voice echoed through every ship of the Indian Ocean Fleet, and the command to fire the cannon replaced the command of the gun commanders of each turret.

On the sea, all the warships that lined up on the land, whether they were main or secondary guns, pointed directly at the Allied forces in the depths of the land. With the sound of Wu Xingguo's cannon, a deafening sound resounded through the sky.

Battleships, cruisers, and destroyers turned to the north of their guns, and at the same time let out an earth-shattering roar, and a strong fire erupted from the barrels, followed by a puff of smoke.

The salvo of the main guns, with a huge recoil, pushed these warships back a few meters away. In particular, the Weiqing, which is equipped with four triple 406-mm guns, has a displacement of more than 70,000 tons and has also been moved horizontally by eight meters. And the Tarzan, which was equipped with nine main guns, also moved six meters horizontally. And those cruisers and destroyers, because the caliber of the main guns was too small, only moved a little more than a meter horizontally.

"Well done, brethren, keep up the good work and get those bastards out of the way." In the radio of each ship, Wu Xingguo's voice was heard again: "Adjust the Zhuyuan, and the fleet rocket artillery will join the second salvo." ”

With Wu Xingguo's order, the Indian Ocean Fleet launched another artillery bombardment, this time accompanied by rocket artillery fired from the rocket launchers equipped on the warships. The smoke from the heavy artillery attack was masked by the rocket launchers, and the bow of the ship where the rocket launchers were located was completely enveloped.

"Boom! Rumble! "Chirp! Chirp! …”

Two sounds, forming a movement that represents death. (To be continued.) )
