Soon after the departure of the Takeshi's fleet, the Japanese fleet also set off. One by one, the smoke was rising and heading straight for Hawaii.

The U.S. military did not know that the Japanese were going to attack Pearl Harbor, and Roosevelt was still thinking about the entrenched enemies in Manzanillo and San Diego. After a week or so of mobilization, he transported 200,000 troops into Cuba, and warships also gathered in the sea around Manzanillo and Santiago, and the blockade was so difficult that even submarines could not enter.

He was well prepared, and near Holguin, he gathered nearly 200,000 troops, and the camp was 50 kilometers deep to firmly block the front of Holguin.

However, this is also his biggest force export. At this time, isolationism was dominant in the country, and the people were not willing to intervene in the war, especially in Britain and France, where everyone saw that there would be a flow of gold, although formal aid had not yet begun, and only a small part of the supplies entered Europe.

Roosevelt was anxious to wake up these populaces to abandon their neutrality and intervene in the war.

Otherwise, once Germany and Italy take control of Europe, then he will be unable to defend against Japan in the Pacific Ocean and the stretch of the East Coast, and the United States, even if it is already very strong, will be unable to resist Germany and Italy, which are holding their feet.

Although Germany has not yet really gained a foothold, it is still necessary to awaken the population and dispel isolationism, at least in anticipation.

But now that the Chinese people have not seen the crisis, they will naturally not easily dismiss their thoughts. Based on this, Roosevelt decided to use the war in Cuba to wake them up.

At the moment of preparation, he did not dare to let the battleship close to the coast again, and on the premise that he did not understand the enemy's shore defense and air defense, he would not use the battleship to attack again, even if it was used. It is also the landing ship that chooses a remote place to land and infiltrate, and will not attack head-on.

He chose the most brutal and bloody land attack, to attack with refueling tactics, to wake up the population with great damage, and to abandon isolationism.

The attack began at dawn.

The veteran in charge of the command, Douglas? Admiral MacArthur. Chief of Staff is Marshall.

Macarthur is a veteran and he had already laid out an offensive plan yesterday. Adopt multiple attacks and scattered troops to implement Roosevelt's attrition policy.

He believed that Roosevelt was right in what he said, that the supply of ammunition to the other side was a problem, and although the sea could not be attacked, the blockade of the sea by dozens of warships, large and small, was still enough to block the other side's delivery of any supplies. Since the other side is not a native aboriginal force. Well, the supply will definitely be at sea. As for the air, although the aircraft carriers are unable to attack, all the reconnaissance planes have taken off and are constantly patrolling within a radius of 200 kilometers.

Based on this. As long as there are frequent attacks, the enemy will run out of ammunition and food. At that time, the superior forces were on his side, and the initiative naturally fell into his hands.

Rio Courto, four points of attack, Mir is also four points of attack. San Andrés on the Holguin front was also a four-point offensive with two main highways. Two trails. Even in Shivala, there were two lines of attack, and the entire line of defense was not missed.

But as soon as he attacked, MacArthur was stunned.

His artillery positions had just opened fire to bombard the enemy's forward positions, and the second round of shells had not yet flown out. It was devastated from the other side.

With a loud bang, the hidden artillery positions were destroyed. The spare artillery found the direction where the opponent's shells flew from the position, and the shelling was also hit by the opponent in two rounds, and what shocked him the most was that there were several hidden positions in the mountain col, and there were mountain beams in front of them, unless the opponent's shells were like mortars, projectiles at a large angle, otherwise the heavy artillery could not bombard at all.

But even so, it still didn't block the enemy's shelling.

Two rounds of shells had just been fired at the position, and before I knew whether the road had hit the opponent's artillery position, the screaming shells avoided the mountain beams in front of them from the left and right, and fell with a whistling fall, and in less than a minute, the four artillery positions that had been carefully calculated and arranged were completely destroyed. The violent bombardment tore everything there to shreds, artillery, trucks, people, everything around it was painted to ashes.

Startled by the loud noise, MacArthur quickly received reports from his surroundings, and he stared at the map with a headache and narrowed his eyes.

The opponent's artillery is really sharp, and the ability to calculate the trajectory is obviously very strong, and the range of one's own artillery is not as far as the opponent's, which also leads to the opponent's ability to hit oneself, but one's own side cannot pose a threat to the opponent's artillery.

After pondering for a while, he finally raised his head and calmly ordered: "Call in air force support, the other side did not intercept the planes, three groups of three to one point to bomb and strafe, the target is selected in San Andrés No. 1 offensive route, other locations are on standby, uninterrupted, irregular aircraft bombing and strafing at each point, be sure to consume the opponent's anti-aircraft shells, and then bomb the opponent's artillery positions!" ”

Following his order, the planes of the US military near the base took off with a roar, and the bombers were escorted by one or two attack planes and flew to the intended target.

Dong Ku was in charge of Holguin himself. He knew that although the US military has not had a major war for a long time, their creed of the supremacy of firepower has not changed. The scout was informed in the mountains and forests that the opposing tanks were assembled in patches, and according to the pictures depicted, he knew that they were M2 and M3 types. These tanks are not a threat to him with heavy artillery, but the other side must be really waiting, waiting for an opportunity, and then the tank group fights, so that the artillery fire cannot take into account all positions, covering the infantry to rush to the position, fighting at close range, and closing the gap that does not have the long range of their own artillery.

As soon as the shelling ended, the enemy did not attack on the ground and did not dispatch tanks, Dong Ku expected that the enemy would break a point by means of air strikes. But I don't know where the other party will focus on it.

While staring at the map, the radar of San Andrés received a message that enemy planes had taken off, three in number, one bomber, two attack aircraft. According to the description of the scouts near the airport, Dong Ku was surprised.

These are two aircraft that should not be available until two years later. The attack aircraft is the P-38, and the bomber is the B-17 Flying Fortress owned by the U.S. military in the early days of World War II.

Is this zero-stimulus?

A thought flashed in Dong Ku's mind, and then he ordered: "All main positions should be prepared for air defense, and mobile anti-aircraft artillery should be on standby to prevent blocking and bypassing aircraft!" ”

With Dong Ku's order, one anti-aircraft cannon after another lifted the camouflage net and set up the cannon body with trees and vines wrapped around it. The truck-converted anti-aircraft guns went into the woods one after another, waiting for the direction of support on the road, ready to block the enemy planes that were sneaking in.

On the high ground, a 127 anti-aircraft gun was propped up, an anti-aircraft machine gun turned on the nose, and the fighters were engrossed, waiting for an order from the headset to be ready to intercept at any time.

The three new attack aircraft and bombers are new weapons that have just been mass-produced, and they are twin-engine attack aircraft and long-range bombers that came out in advance under the pressure brought to them by the Japanese post-Zero type.

This was one of Roosevelt's ways of testing weapons, and it was also a way to use the Cuban battlefield to discover the shortcomings of the new aircraft and prepare for future wars.

Three new planes, which had just been installed for less than two months, roared and approached San Andrés at an altitude of 10,000 meters. They have reason to believe that their height will not be hit. The B17 can drop bombs at high altitudes, and even if the accuracy is not high, the bombing position can still meet the requirements.

At this time, the firing range of the 127 antiaircraft guns was only 14,000 meters, and the firing height was no more than 9,000 meters.

On the bomber, David had been flying this plane for two months, he loved this plane very much, and the crew, too, had so many heavy machine guns, they really didn't worry about enemy planes approaching.

Just as they were about to fly over the target, there was a loud bang, followed by a violent jolt of the plane, accompanied by a crackling sound and a sifting of the plane, and apparently, anti-aircraft shells exploded around them.

Feeling the violent tremors, David was taken aback. This is a height of 10,000 meters, and it is not certain whether there are planes that can fly 10,000 meters high in the world at present, and it is even more impossible for antiaircraft artillery to hit 10,000 meters.

Before his thoughts fell, the loud bangs rang out one after another, and he could even clearly see the fire, which was not far from his plane, estimated to be no more than thirty meters.

How so?!!

Frightened, he hurriedly turned and tried to get out of the blast area.

But before he could wait for the fuselage to turn, he suddenly felt a violent shock of the plane, and then the plane tilted out of control.

"Not good!! The wing was broken!!! ”

"God!! We were hit!! ”

An exclamation sounded, but David didn't hear a word, at this time, his mind was blank, and he couldn't understand why the enemy's anti-aircraft artillery could hit 10,000 meters, and there was such a high accuracy rate.

The two P38s were also bombarded with destruction, and the one on the left was hit by shrapnel and smoke, the propeller stopped turning, and then the tail was crushed by the violently expanding pressure, and the pieces flew away from the fuselage.

The other was even worse, a shell exploded in front of the nose, and the moment the fire flashed, the flames engulfed the plane, the glass was shattered, and the pilot was killed by the explosion without even having a chance to breathe.

When the P38 on the left lost control and plunged headlong into the sea of clouds, in the B17, which had already begun to deflect and tumble and fall, everyone shouted in horror, opened the hatch, and jumped off the plane.

David was dragged away by the crew, his eyes blankly looked at the familiar environment and swept his sight, but he didn't remember anything, and then suddenly felt his breathing stagnate, and when he was awake, he was already soaring in the clouds.

How could it be hit......

He listened to the constant sound of explosions, and the obsession in his heart had not yet dissipated, but he could no longer see the plane, they all got into the clouds, only the explosion still echoed in his ears, chasing the plane that was falling rapidly, and it kept ringing...... (To be continued......)
