Chapter 370: The Threat of 12,000 Tons of Crude Oil
I have to say that such a cruel and vicious trick can also be thought up by a mind like Yang Feng, just like when he made 500 tons of antimony and antimony to bomb Wordsworth Castle, full of kingly demeanor?......
The French Navy's Far East Fleet and nearly 30,000 defenders in Cam Ranh Bay have no idea whether they are about to face honor or purgatory, and in fact, Singapore's Delcasse is looking forward to a victory that will break the dragon's teeth to bargain with Zhang Quan!
Far away in Europe, the French still live in the Chinese Navy American Fleet arrived in all kinds of terrifying rumors, the French Navy mobilized all the warships that could be mobilized to search in the vast Atlantic, and even studied with the British whether they could lease a few battleships for emergencies, although the British politely refused them, but the Royal Navy's fleet also spread out, and finally helped the French to present the Chinese fleet, but at this time they were only a thousand nautical miles away from France.
This news intensified the panic in France.
At this time, Emperor Yang's plan to burn Cam Ranh Bay officially began to be put into practice, and Nie Shicheng quickly seized the northern tip of the Cam Ranh Peninsula, which was originally the periphery of the French defense line, and was outside the range of the main guns of the battleships in the bay. On such a night, there was no need to put a smoke screen to cover it, but Emperor Yang and his generals still missed an important question. It was the pungent stench of crude oil, this problem was immediately revealed by Nie Shicheng, he took a group of officers to watch the excitement at the oil port, and after this, he immediately notified the fleet at sea by radio, and then transmitted to Beijing, but the operation has already begun, even if it is useless now. Besides, what if the French knew?
The French did show up, and just as crude oil began to pour into the inner bay of Cam Ranh Bay, General Xia Fei, who was patrolling the defensive line, was the first to show the problem.
"What does it smell like?" The brigade commander, who had fled back from the Bajiang defense line, asked with a frown and twitching his nose. "Find out what the hell is coming from." Although he didn't think about the crude oil, as a cautious general, Xia Fei still instinctively ordered.
At the urging of the company commander, several French soldiers reluctantly left their positions and walked east in the dark night with horse lanterns. One of them muttered casually, "Damn, I smell like it's in that refinery near my house." ”
"What did you say?" Xia Fei rang for a moment and immediately stopped him.
"Report to General, it smells a bit like crude oil from an oil refinery, except it seems to be much stronger than there." The soldier immediately replied with a salute.
"Crude oil? Crude?! Xia Fei's mind buzzed, a cold sweat broke out all of a sudden, and he pushed away the soldier in front of him and yelled at the company commander: "Quickly connect the phone number of your battalion headquarters." ”
I have to say that Xia Fei's reaction is still very fast. He immediately thought of the fire attack, but unfortunately even by this time it was too late, because a large amount of crude oil had already been poured into Cam Ranh Bay. And because it was late at night, and with all the normal delays, by the time the news reached the Cam Ranh Bay Defense Command, and then the staff officer on duty woke the commander General Pierre from his sleep and told him, the strikers of the oil-stained belt had already reached the berth of the battleship.
"Crude oil? Are you kidding? How can crude oil appear in Cam Ranh Bay, is it coming out of the ground. General Pierre, who had been woken up, had not yet fully recovered from his sleep, and said very casually.
"Your Excellency General, General Xia Fei said that the Chinese deliberately poured it in, and then set it on fire and burned us all to death." The staff officer said with a white face.
"Bastard. Stop them! General Pierre came to his senses at once. Then came a senseless roar, with his roar. All the French troops in the entire Cam Ranh Bay defense circle were alarmed, whether it was the navy or the 6th Army, they all rushed to the sea, including those battleships, they also put down small boats one after another, and when they saw that they had been soaked in the oil sea, they were all dumbfounded, how to deal with this?
In fact, at this time, Xia Fei had already begun to act, he urgently mobilized all his troops to rush to the shore, and used the sapper shovel in his hand to dig up the sand and soil frantically, trying to build a dam across the waterway to block the crude oil from continuing to flow downstream, of course, this is destined to be meaningless, the rainwater seeping from the upstream mountains and forests is flowing rapidly in the waterway, and the river that is hundreds of meters wide is bursting with floods, how can their sapper shovels stop it.
Besides, Nie Shicheng on the opposite side will not allow them to do this, when the pungent stench of crude oil is present, this veteran who has fought all his life is already ready to deal with this kind of accident, just when Xia Fei began to block crude oil, the squadron on the opposite side of his defense area immediately began to attack, and the French army was almost broken through the position by surprise, Xia Fei had to transfer back the troops to block the attack while notifying the headquarters and asking them to send people downstream to block the crude oil.
Downstream, it can be one or two kilometers wide!
By the searchlight on the battleship, General Pierre looked at the black crude oil that was rushing from upstream, and the light reflected an eerie sheen, like the scales of a black mamba, and he almost felt like he was going crazy, and cursed in his heart over and over again the guy who came up with this poisonous plan.
All the warships of the Far East Fleet that were originally parked at the berths began to light fire and anchor, preparing to escape from this sea of oil, they knew very well that once the crude oil was ignited, what was waiting for them was not as simple as a sea of fire, in fact, the crude oil that was waved out, once ignited, it was extremely easy to form a detonation, and then the entire Cam Ranh Bay would be razed.
Yang Feng, who didn't sleep in the middle of the night and waited to hear the good news, also suddenly thought of it.
"Quick, quickly inform Nie Shicheng and order him to retreat with his troops immediately, at least two kilometers back." The thing suddenly pushed away the twin sister who was lying on his shoulder, and said to the attendant who was waiting beside him.
After Nie Shicheng, who was fighting with the French army, received the order, although he did not understand what detonation was, since the emperor's holy decree, it was natural to obey, just at this time, because he did not dare to use artillery, so the attack was not very smooth, he quickly ordered the troops to withdraw from the battle and retreat two kilometers, Xia Fei opposite him was also at a loss, but since the Chinese retreated, he still hurried to block the oil!
In fact, it is not much fun to toss and not block it now, just under the desperate eyes of the French, the advance of the oil pollution belt has reached the south shore of Cam Ranh Bay, but the four oil tankers at sea are still pouring crude oil into the waterway, poor Xia Fei led his men to fight this terrible enemy in the mud, crude oil, and water, and in the downstream bay, all the French troops were also mobilized, using all means to try to stop the continuous influx of crude oil.
But this work is in modern times, and that is also crazy for all countries, not to mention that in such a sudden night, in fact, the French until dawn, except for Xia Fei can come up with a slightly practical countermeasure, others are simply exhausted there, and even some French soldiers rowed small boats on the sea with buckets to scoop, and a little smarter with wooden planks to push, but they can't build a kilometer isolation zone anyway, not to mention that the crude oil at sea is still pouring in.
Twelve thousand tons, how can it be so easy to empty.
Even Xia Fei was actually exhausted, his efforts did not have any effect, the crude oil was poured in with the flood coming down from the mountains, how could his soldiers with sapper shovels stop it? Besides, even if this side is blocked, and that side is rushed away, anyway, as long as the water passes, the crude oil on the water will also pass, and it will not have much effect if it is tossed until dawn, and the crude oil in Cam Ranh Bay is full.
The Far Eastern Fleet also failed to run out, because the fleet of the Chinese Navy was waiting outside, especially the two perfect battleships, the muzzles of the black holes pointed to the narrow passage between the inner and outer bays, these huge guns that could attack from a distance of seventeen kilometers could easily slaughter the Far Eastern Fleet outside the range of the shore defense guns, and the French battleships crowded on the narrow torpedo channel did not even have room to maneuver and dodge, and when these battleships appeared at dawn, The Far Eastern Fleet retreated to the inner bay, which was covered with a thick layer of crude oil.
"Your Excellency, you have an hour to make a choice, surrender or hold on, if you choose to surrender, then order the defenders of the outer defense line to go out and surrender to our troops, and the defenders in the fortress will go out of the fortress and wait for our soldiers to come and receive them, and as for all the warships of the Far Eastern Fleet, under the supervision of our army, they will hoist the white flag, fire all the torpedoes, and the artillery will be loaded with gun covers, and then sail out of Cam Ranh Bay to surrender to our fleet." Half an hour later, a lieutenant ** officer was taken to the headquarters of the French army, and then said proudly.
"Of course, if you choose to continue fighting, then in an hour we will shoot incendiary bombs at this bay." Then he added. )
