Chapter 921 The Fall of the Enterprise

No one knew what was going on here, the civilians were locked up in the mansion, they didn't even see the empty boats, fifteen kilometers away, and no one in Havana noticed the visitors. On the sea, the battleships did not know that the guns of the road were aimed at them.

Dong Ku waited for Han Lie's arrival in Havana, and only when the attacking troops arrived at their position could they attack. As for the helicopters, they have completed their mission, and after tearing up all the small boats in the port, they divided their forces and went all the way to Mariel, where there is also a port with some freighters in it, which must be destroyed. The other group went straight to Matanzas, which also had ports and freighters in Matanzas Bay, and they had to leave those freighters behind before they knew that the air raids on the road could not stop them, blocking all the escape paths, and leaving as much wealth as possible.

Han Lie's attack speed of the army at this time was still not slow, without the assistance of a large number of helicopters, he simply attacked, everywhere, the moment the self-propelled artillery was destroyed in the opposite headquarters, the artillery fire covered the position of the political axe army, the high ground, and then the armored troops chased the artillery, and it was also easy to take the position, but there were more casualties, and the speed of the march was not too affected.

At the end of the air raid in Havana, when Mariel and Matanzas were attacked at the same time, the army stopped after an hour and a half of frantic advance, fought four battles in a row, and reached a position more than ten kilometers away from Havana.

He arrived at his target nearly an hour ahead of schedule, receiving orders from Dong Ku to wait for the left and right flanks to follow so that he could encircle Havana.

In fact, how can the attack of the advance army be encircled? This is nothing more than to attract the attention of the enemy, and the most important thing is to attract battleships on the sea.

Sure enough, after the battleship received the news from the front, they approached the port, which looked less than five kilometers away. The battleships all turned sideways and prepared for shelling.

Everyone believed that at a distance of fifteen kilometers, all their main guns could reach and destroy the enemy in one round.

After visual inspection of the shore and calibration of the radar, it was determined that the enemy ships were in addition to two destroyers escorting the aircraft carrier. The others, the others, came close to the harbor and came within twenty kilometers, just in time for the bombardment.

After Dong Ku received the radar data, he squinted his eyes and pondered and said: "According to the description of the size, there is only one cruiser close by, it is estimated to be a heavy cruiser, but it is not of much value, and there is only one aircraft carrier." That is, the harbor opened the enterprise number, and we will target the enterprise number and sink him in one round! ”

Zuo Boyang also agreed with the destruction of aircraft carriers, as for those destroyers, frigates and so on, for a state apparatus, it will only take a few months to build, and it will not hurt at all. Moreover, aircraft carriers are the core strength of the fleet. One less is a big reduction in strength.

"That one to kill the aircraft carrier. Sink it with armor-piercing shells! ”

Zuo Boyang waved his hand and said with his fists clenched.

"No, you can't use armor-piercing bullets."

Dong Ku shook his head and said: "In order to reduce their own weight and increase their speed and not drag down the fleet's hind legs, the current aircraft carriers all use wooden flight decks and use high-explosive bombs to directly hit him, and the hangars on the lower deck cannot carry high-explosive bombs. You can blow up the planes below through the flight deck, and if you expect it to be right, there are bombers parked on the deck now, ready to cooperate with the bombardment of the battleship in front, as long as it explodes. More effective than armor-piercing shells. ”

Wood decks?

Zuo Boyang glanced at Dong Ku in surprise, then picked up a pen and paper, and prepared to record the message.

Dong Ku groaned and ordered: "The target aircraft carrier, three rounds of 100 guns, and 30 armor-piercing shells in the second round, effective for shooting!" ”

As the telegram flew out, Han Lie's order was received from the position in charge of the shelling.

"High-explosive bomb ready!"

"Coordinates 129-534! Artillery fire cover. Put!! ”

With the roar and the sound of a hundred cannons, there was a difference of less than a second or two, and a group of fires erupted from one row to another, and a piece of projectiles flew towards the Enterprise in the sea.

At this time, the upper deck of the Enterprise was full of Forte Group, waiting for the front shelling to begin, so that they could take off to assist in the bombardment, and the enemy's shells would fly more than 30 kilometers to hit them.

The soldiers on the battleship near the harbor at the front suddenly heard a strange whistling from the east side, and Xiaoyi turned his head to look, but he was horrified to see that the sky was black and the verb flew rapidly into the depths of the sea.

Cannonball......

Everyone was stunned, they couldn't imagine that there would be shells flying out there, it was the defense range along the Hawa side, how could there be shells flying there?

"Shelling!!"

One of the captains reacted first, shouting: "At the same time, the aircraft carrier is dodging the shelling!" All the artillery turns its muzzles and bombards the enemy's positions!! ”

As he shouted, there was a panic on the battleship, and the battleship turned slightly sideways, slowly turning its muzzle to aim in the direction where the shell had flown out.

The Enterprise was waiting for the front to give an attack signal, when suddenly the captain was surprised by a clear call on the walkie-talkie, and ordered to set sail and leave here.

It's a pity that it will take a while for the battleship to start, not to mention the huge aircraft carrier.

Just when the aircraft carrier was rising with smoke and sounding the alarm and preparing to get away from here, the shells flying in the sky did not give it time.

The piercing screams were deafening from far and near, and immediately, the sound of a roaring explosion sounded on the left and right of the aircraft carrier.

Columns of water rose into the sky, from front to back, left and right, which could be said to cover the sunlight, so that the mist filled the aircraft carrier and lost its trace.

In the loud bang, one shell after another also fell on the aircraft carrier.

The flight deck is planked, where can it withstand the bombardment of 200 caliber cannons?

Rumble!

With a loud bang, one deck sinked, then heaved, and debris scattered in the flickering firelight.

The two nearby bombers were overturned like toys, their wings broken, and they tumbled away with sawdust in the shock wave, smashing bombers waiting to take off along the way, and then the fuel leaked, and the fire continued to roll with a bang, and the fire burned everywhere it passed, and then spread in the mist like a wildfire, igniting the surrounding crisis and igniting the deck.

Boom!

Several loud noises sounded one after another, deck debris flew all over the sky, the shock wave blew the flames more violently, and the figures running on the deck approached directly vaporized, and those who were a little farther away followed the clams. The toad was blown up and emptied...... Fall to the surface of the sea.

The loud bangs continued one after another, and one after another the shells fell on the side of the battleship and landed on the deck, and the violent explosion made the aircraft carrier shake one after another, and the soldiers inside rolled to the ground like gourds, unable to stand firm at all.

The sudden shelling shocked everyone on board the aircraft carrier. Shouting, trying to hold on to something, but it was impossible to put out the fire.

At least ten high-explosive bombs fell on the flight deck in a matter of seconds, and the deck was all scrapped, burning violently one by one, and the people who put out the fire, which did not exist at all, were all overturned into the sea.

Rumble! With a loud bang, a cannonball pierced through the broken flight deck. The fuse hit the second layer before it exploded. The violent shock wave pushed the plane inside effortlessly into the sea, or smashed between the columns, or piled up on the side side, and then the explosion site ignited a fire, and the fire spread in an instant, so that the scattered aircraft fuel completely ignited the second layer, and in the panic shouts of everyone, the hula spread to the entire aircraft carrier with the sea breeze.

At this time. Both the captain and the crew were terrified. Such a big fire. The aircraft carrier is a burning coffin, they are no longer able to put out the fire, the fire is too big, it spreads too fast.

The two destroyers tried to get close to the carrier to help put out the fire in the churning of the water, but the second round of shells enveloped them together a few seconds later.

The fierce flames could no longer be controlled. The fire spread to the next floor, and as long as the ammunition compartment was burned, the Enterprise would not be spared.

At this moment, a loud bang sounded on the aircraft carrier, and the bombers on the deck were carrying bombs. It was roasted by a blazing fire, and the temperature quickly reached the point where the fuse inside was ignited.

This loud noise became a signal of disaster, the explosion of Yu Bo has not yet dispersed, the fire cloud rolling, a more violent loud bang sounded, the entire flight deck in the loud noise, of course, there is no existence, debris flying all over the sky, enterprise Wang Hao is not like a high jumper, the reality squatted violently, and then with the sea uplift rose more than ten meters high, boom, smashed and returned to the wolf, and fell down again.

The explosion of this life cut off the idea of the sailors on the aircraft carrier and the destroyer preparing to put out the fire, and the entire aircraft carrier has been ignited, and there is no possibility of saving it.

Before the living people rushed out of the bottom warehouse and jumped into the sea to escape, in the loud bang, one after another shells whistled and fell.

This time it was not a high-explosive shell, this time it was an armor-piercing shell, although there were only thirty of them, but they were effective, and under the premise of radar positioning, the Enterprise was actually hit by twelve.

Even the two destroyers that approached received two shells each.

There was a huge earthquake, the flames tumbled and soared, and then there was a loud bang, and the No. 1 boiler compartment was hit by an armor-piercing projectile, and the fragments swept through the entire cabin, and the billowing steam instantly made the soldiers in the cabin become cooked meat.

Before the steam could erupt from the bottom chamber, there was a loud bang, and an armor-piercing projectile hit below the waterline, exploding at all levels of the watertight chamber. The aircraft carrier shook suddenly, and tons of seawater from a large mouth of more than ten meters poured into it frantically, and under the pressure of the water, it rushed wildly into the cabin, and poured into the cabin along the hole in the watertight cabin.

This time, the aircraft carrier, which had not raised its speed, was even more slowing down and was destined to stop. And the flames of the ship will be even more fierce because the hull of the ship is already hot, and the Enterprise will be weak to return to the sky.

And there are very few people in the cabin who can be born, all of them are blocked in the cabin by the fierce fire, and countless people are killed by the explosion of the armor-piercing bullet first, but it reduces the time of death in fear, which can be regarded as a joy.

The third round of shells flew after this, and under the accurate positioning and velocity measurement of the radar, the Enterprise could not avoid the shelling at all. And several battleships near the harbor that had already turned their guns were also roaring at this time, and the maximum range was shelling in the direction where the shells were flying. At the same time, the water reconnaissance planes roared and took off, looking for the enemy's artillery positions so that they could be destroyed in a concentrated manner.

It is a pity that the maximum range of their artillery is only more than 20 kilometers, and they cannot reach the artillery positions at all, and the location of the artillery positions is already the limit of the range of their shells, which is nothing more than firing artillery battles.

"Thunderhawk reports, the target slows down, according to calculations, will stop moving after five minutes, will it continue to attack?"

The moment Han Lie received the report, he did not hesitate to order: "Give up the first target, all artillery armor-piercing shells, target port fleet, three rounds of salvo!" ”

Han Lie didn't have time to ask for instructions, he thought that the opponent's aircraft carrier had lost its ability to sail, and it was obviously heavily damaged, if it was not sunk, then use the submarine torpedo that was already close to shoot it, and he could not lose the opportunity to ambush the port battleship group, otherwise once they dispersed, the effect of a single shelling would be much worse, and they would all be facing the port from the side, which was a good time for shelling.

After giving the order, he then made a report to Dong Ku, reporting that the aircraft carrier had stopped and been injured, and asked whether to call the submarine to come close to observe and sink it.

Dong Ku received the report and pondered, knowing that there were two destroyers there, although the submarine could be submarine-fired, but there was still a certain danger, but it was not cost-effective to give up the attack fleet, after all, the artillery fleet could launch an attack on Havana.

"Good! Agree to call the sea wolf, get close to observe, if necessary, the other side has no signs of sinking, allow the torpedo to sink! ”

"Yes!"

Han Lie sent electricity to the submarine in the explosion a few kilometers away from the front of the artillery position, and called it to rush to the location of the aircraft carrier to check.

However, he didn't know that the aircraft carrier was exploding one after another, and the flames rose several meters high, and the bombs on those planes exploded one after another, and the fire in the bottom compartment spread, which had lost control, burning to the ammunition compartment and the oil tank, and in a few minutes at most, the Enterprise would die.
