140, Thunder 3
O'Neill is a sailor, this time the US military large-scale increase in the Philippines, many American businessmen think this is a business opportunity, these businessmen form a fleet to transport goods to the Philippines ready to make a lot of money, more than a dozen ships, are 10,000 tons of giant ships, and he is a sailor in this fleet.
Guam has always been the largest transit point for Pacific trade except Hawaii, their fleet is anchored here for necessary supplies and a certain rest, for sailors, it is a rare opportunity to relax, they can rest here for nearly two days, there is a regiment of American troops stationed, two or three thousand garrisons, pirates do not dare to attack, especially in the special period when the US army has increased its troops to Southeast Asia on a large scale, no pirates will come to find death.
But he never imagined that this would be a disaster, and that the war would break out at this time, and he watched the station of the US garrison turn into a sea of fire in just a few minutes under the fierce bombardment of more than a dozen bombers in the sky.
Immediately after that, there were more than twenty planes in the sky that were larger than the bomber fuselage, and countless umbrella flowers fell from the sky, and soon he saw that there seemed to be a person under none of the umbrella flowers, it should be said that it was a soldier. Then he heard an American officer and soldier shouting: "Damn it, it's Chinese paratroopers!" He didn't know what a paratrooper was, but when he heard the officer's tone, it seemed to be very powerful.
O'Neill didn't know if he should be glad for the American GIs, because the military discipline of the US army has always been lax, so there are only half of the people in the barracks at most, especially in this non-war moment, after all, there was no report of combat readiness before, and there were no officers to take care of it. If it was a German army with strict military discipline, I was afraid that it would have to lose most of its losses if it was not completely annihilated under this bombardment.
O'Neill soon saw that some American soldiers raised their guns to shoot at the paratroopers, but what he saw was that the sky was the first to hear the dense sound of gunshots, and many American soldiers who raised their guns and shot directly burst into blood and fell, causing the people in the town to scream and dodge.
O'Neill soon saw a paratrooper fall not far from the town, and he rolled on the ground and half-crouched on the ground, and as the gun rang out, he saw two American soldiers who were about to shoot at the paratrooper fall, and then the paratrooper quickly took out a dagger, cut off the parachute in about a second or two, and quickly rolled and hid behind a mound of dirt.
More than a dozen American soldiers shot at the paratrooper, but the other party was unharmed, but the paratrooper took advantage of the American soldier to pull the bolt of the gun and raised his gun to counterattack, and four American soldiers were killed in an instant, O'Neill was stunned by the opponent's accurate marksmanship, and he even wondered, doesn't the other party need to aim?
O'Neill couldn't believe his eyes, he lost his mind for a while, and saw that more than a dozen American officers and soldiers had been killed. And the paratrooper quickly rushed over, came to him, pointed a gun at him, he hurriedly raised his hands, indicating that he was harmless, and the muzzle of the black hole made him sweat pour out in an instant.
Only then did he see the other party clearly, the other party was wearing three colors of clothing, and his face was also painted green, some like Indians, but he knew that the other party was not, it was Chinese, and he had seen a lot in San Francisco. The other side did not shoot, but quickly shot at the American soldiers who could be seen, and not only the American soldiers died under his guns. And O'Neill also saw that more and more Chinese paratroopers were left behind and quickly entered the battle, most of them attacking the barracks.
O'Neill understood that the other party's attack on the barracks must be aimed at quickly controlling the docks. He looked at the dozen or so huge ships on the dock and observed a moment of silence for the American businessmen who wanted to make a fortune. The battle was very fierce, there were constant screams and wails in his ears, and he also heard the frightened cries of the American troops, "the other party's firepower is too strong", "damn it" or something, he couldn't care, he was just a sailor, and he couldn't even beat the army, so let him let a sailor go to fight and die? As an ocean-going ship, he knew that there were international conventions - that war had nothing to do with civilians.
I don't know how long it took, but the gunfire gradually died out, and he knew that the American army was finished, because he also saw a lot of Chinese paratroopers. Suddenly there was a whistle from the dock, he looked from the corner, and saw from a distance that there were several [***] ships, and a few ships docked, and the bows of three of them were actually flat, and he was surprised to see that the bows of these three ships seemed to be open, and they were buckled on the dock like a gate board, and then he actually saw a tank drive out.
O'Neill, naturally, would not have known that this was a tank landing ship developed by China. The reason why the word tank is added in front of it is because each landing ship can carry a tank and a company of soldiers.
Then he saw troop carriers, and a steady stream of Chinese officers and soldiers poured onto the docks.
The dark clouds of war instantly enveloped the whole of Southeast Asia, and on the Indochina Peninsula, smoke erupted in many directions of China's attack.
Although the Great Powers exerted military pressure on the Chinese side, they did not move their main forces directly to the front line of border defense, because doing so would likely lead to a bad conflict, which the Great Powers did not want to do when they were not ready for war. And when the Gulf of Tonkin War broke out, it was too late for the great powers to transfer their troops.
In order to ensure the rapid advance and sharpness of the offensive, the Chinese side dispatched its air force to destroy the enemy's fortifications that had been identified long ago with heavy bombs, and at the same time destroyed the heavy weapons it had placed on the border. The British and French border guards were even more unable to resist the lack of heavy weapons, and some of the remaining fortifications could not withstand the bombardment of the 75-mm tank guns of the Chinese tanks, and one defense line after another fell under the torrent of Chinese tanks
In the command hall, Li Bufan, Wu Di, Duan Qirui, Xu Shuzheng, and Li Huashan all had solemn faces.
"Report to the Commander-in-Chief, Guam has been taken." Li Hengshan rushed from the telecommunications department and reported happily.
"Good!" Li Bufan applauded loudly when he heard this, and a flush of excitement rose, and he took the telegram and looked at it, and sent it to Duan Qirui very expressly.
Duan Qirui quickly read the telegram and said happily: "Great." This time I'm relieved that we're safe in the east. Before that, Li Bufan had already explained to him the important surname of Guam. As for the defense of the island chain, it can be completely handed over to the second-line troops whose equipment has not been updated, and it is difficult to overcome it with a certain air force, after all, the opponent's attack in this situation is a one-shot deal, while the Chinese side can quickly transfer troops and reinforcements.
Xu Shuzheng also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It seems that God is on our side, the combined fleet of foreign devils just stopped in Da Nang, the Yankees have just increased their troops in Manila, and a large number of materials are piled up at the dock, all of which are instantly wiped out under the attack of our air force." In this way, it should be no problem for us to have an advantage in a short period of time. ”
Wu Di said with a dry smile: "The combined fleet of the great powers did not happen to be in Da Nang, because of the dispute over the ownership of the country, we can buy many people to secretly instigate the British, French and American parliamentarians to send a fleet to deter, in order to severely damage the navies of the great powers." Of course, the Yankees were hitting the muzzle of their guns at this time, which we did not expect, and they were originally going to bomb the barracks of their garrison in Manila. Hehe, luck is also a kind of strength. ”
Xu Shuzheng snorted coldly and said: "Destroying the combined fleet, the great powers have indeed suffered heavy losses, but if they are fully calculated, they will lose at most two percent of the strength of the opponent's navy, and in terms of the number and quality of warships, the scale of our navy is not even half the size of the other party. We only have three Jiangsu-class pocket battleships and the restored Kirishima and Hiei of the 10,000-ton giant ships. ”
Wu Di said with a dry smile: "I only know some things after fighting, it's hard to say, and you don't believe it." We do have a big gap in the number of large warships, so we have to attract the opposing combined fleet, if they don't come, who will send us ships? ”
"Sending a ship?" Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzheng both looked at Li Bufan suspiciously.
Li Bufan coughed and said, "That's the case." We have carefully discussed with Brother Hua Shan, Chief of Staff, Li Haijun, Commander of the Navy, and General Sa Zhenbing, Chief of Staff, that although our Navy has formed a standard production of warships, it is limited to small and medium-sized warships, and it is impossible to fight a decisive battle with the great powers in the ocean, so we have this plan. We bribed people to encourage the great powers to come up with advanced capital ships to deter our country, which is the idea of attacking them. In this attack, all warships of more than 10,000 tons were attacked by aviation torpedoes, our aviation torpedoes were 355 millimeters, weighed 500 kilograms, and their combat parts were only more than 100 kilograms, and the armor below the water level of the torpedo attack could sink the capital ship, but the power was not enough to destroy the overall structure of the warship. ”
"That's right." Duan Qirui and Xu Shuzhengxin breathed a sigh of relief, if the Chinese Navy had more than a dozen capital ships, then the coastal defense would be absolutely safe. They naturally know the power of Chinese aircraft, and believe that with the cooperation of the sea and air, at least the safety of the coastal areas can be guaranteed. Ke still asked skeptically, "Can this really be done?" ”
Li Huashan said with a smile: "President, General Xu, do you still remember the battle cruisers 'Kirishima' and 'Hiei' salvaged in Jiaozhou Bay?" Isn't it in service with our Navy now? We're just repeating the same old ways. It's impossible to have all the repair value, and some of the old ships have to be abandoned, but some of them are definitely there. We have difficulty manufacturing these large warships, but there is no problem at all in repairing them. ”
Duan Qirui said happily: "That's good, that's good." Then he said nervously, "Then we must capture Da Nang as soon as possible, if the foreign devils notice it and explode underwater, it will be over." ”
Li Bufan said solemnly: "Don't worry." The attacking troops are already on the way. ”
Wu Di said quickly: "No, it's on the sea." (To be continued.) )
