Chapter 689: Project Uranus (6)
For the kindness of these people, Zhao Yiqun did not shirk too much, and finally nodded directly in agreement. The people of the Zhigong Hall were also elite, and after some contact, each group was assigned at least one guide, and they divided into several small units according to their respective operational objectives, and soon disappeared into the darkness of the night.
On the morning of April 21, the main fleet led by Zhang Haiyang began to slowly approach the waters near Portland Harbor, and under the command of the command, the carrier-based Sailfish 2D electronic warfare aircraft took off first with dew, and the jammer was turned on at full power, carrying out a wide range of electronic interference to the Boston Empire through the thin morning fog. For a time, all the radars and radio communications that Boston had placed near the coast became a blanket of screens and busy sounds.
"Damn backward equipment, even if you put a TV set made in the Chinese Empire here, it is much better than it. Mike, Mike, go check the line, this unlucky thing has no signal again. Captain Kaul, who was sitting in front of the radar screen, roared, and kicked his left foot in a cowhide boot on the chair next to him, telling Sergeant Mike, a communications maintenance officer, to check the line. Mike, who was sitting on a chair and napping, was kicked like this, stood up reflexively, rubbed his sleepy eyes, took the tool and entered the radar.
Because the Chinese Navy launched a large-scale attack in the southern port of San Diego, the other Boston coast guards were very careless, believing that it was impossible for the Chinese Navy to launch such a large-scale attack in both places at the same time, so they were very safe.
Mike opened the iron door specially used for maintenance and entered the inside of the radar, carefully shuttling between the dense wires, carefully checking what the problem was, the Boston radar at this time is a tube array welded with wires, very simple and clear, only need to use a flashlight to observe with the naked eye, it is enough to find the problem, and the problem here is also very simple, just look at whether the wire is connected, whether the tube is burned black, and whether there is a mushy smell to know.
Mike checked inside the radar, and Captain Kaul kept muttering: "Domestic tattered things are really unlucky, they always fail when they are used, you see those radars imported from the Chinese Empire, they are still old antiques from the First World War, and they can still be used normally, and they are better than our new gadgets." ”
At this time, Sergeant Mack came out with a flashlight and said, "Report sir, the radar is working normally, there is nothing wrong with it." ”
"Are you sure?" Captain Kaul's sweat was dripping down his face at that time: "Could it be that it was interfered with by the Chinese army's electronics?" ”
Captain Kaul's words also made Sergeant McKe nervous: "If that's the case, we should report it to our superiors right away." Listening to Sergeant Mack's words, Captain Kaul picked up the radio walkie-talkie without saying a word, but he immediately found that the walkie-talkie was also unresponsive, and all the channels were filled with noisy electronic noise.
Now they can finally determine that they have indeed been attacked by electronic warfare. Fortunately, after experiencing many electronic warfare attacks by the other side, the Boston Empire has also found a lot of ways to deal with it, in order to ensure smooth communication, they have laid a large number of telephone lines, and now various important departments and radar stations have set up wired telephone contact.
Captain Kaul quickly picked up the wired telephone receiver on the table, but as soon as he put it to his ear, his face immediately changed, there was no familiar electronic busy tone in the wired phone, and it was obvious that the telephone line had been cut off, which was of course the masterpiece of the naval special forces that had landed in advance.
Their task was to sabotage the wired telephone and telegraph lines, and destroy the highways and railways and other troop transport routes. At this time, the same situation was seen in many radar stations on the coast, and several sections of the road were blown up, and the Boston Empire was suddenly attacked without warning.
In the open sea, a large number of Sailfish 2C attack planes that took off from the twelve Nanming-class aircraft carriers took off in a large formation of low-altitude raids, and had already entered the coastline of the Boston Empire. After confirming that the electronic jammers had begun to work, they immediately increased their altitude, and the large group divided into several small groups and headed towards their respective goals.
With the presence of laser-guided bombs and radio-guided bombs, each bombing can be carried out accurately, so there are not many bombers needed for each bombing site, even if there are only a few planes with a small bomb load such as naval carrier-based aircraft, only a few are needed in each area.
This time the navy did not spare any hand, all 792 attack planes sorted, they loaded bombs and began to attack various points and airfields around Portland, although this tactic was used again and again by the Chinese Empire, but it was always very effective, and each time the Axis countries suffered a big loss.
Under the attack of precision-guided weapons, all combat planes at 27 airfields, whether they were on the airfield or in hangars, were devastated, and within half an hour, more than 700 combat planes of the Boston Air Force were all destroyed on the airfield.
Seven large military camps and four ammunition depots near Portland were also hit, as well as concrete fortifications such as pillboxes and battery batteries on the coast. With the help of on-board computers, pilots even threw laser-guided bombs into the firing holes of the fortifications, turning the enduring concrete fortifications into waste.
The main fleet was not equipped with battleships, so in terms of fire suppression on the opposite shore, the rocket launchers placed on flatbed cargo ships became the main force, and under the dense rocket artillery cover, Boston's coastal defense forces also suffered a catastrophe. However, after experiencing the fleet's firepower, the Boston coastal defense force was surprised to find that the other side did not dispatch those flat-bottomed landing craft or assault boats, and the Chinese Navy showed them a new amphibious combat mode.
After the firepower was covered, several amphibious assault ships in the fleet with all-decks and similar in size to aircraft carriers got busy, and several Twin Hornet transport helicopters began to activate their huge two propellers and slowly left the jolting deck.
This 'Makita' class amphibious assault ship is the latest model to replace the old attack ships, and the problems encountered in the use of the first batch of amphibious assault ships have been solved one by one, which has greatly improved the performance of the new amphibious assault ships, and this amphibious assault ship is also the latest new ship type to enter service in the new round of maritime expansion of the Chinese Navy.
