Chapter 273: The Enemy is at Sea
"Let's join them at six in the morning?"
Receiving a reply from the Blue Sea Mist Fleet, the commander-in-chief of the Federal Army Force was a little hesitant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this operation, the main body of the entire operation in Zakun City was these land forces, and the navy was only to blockade the coastline and prevent the main personnel of Zakun City from escaping from the sea.
According to their original plan of action, the general offensive would begin at 7 a.m. and then be suppressed by the fleet on the sea with long-range firepower before entering the strategic area.
Don't look only an hour in advance.
Placed on a large number of units and small groups of troops, this can be regarded as a complete disruptation of the plan.
"Isn't that admiral of the navy a little bit on the head, shelling three areas at the same time...... Can his fleet do it? The deputy was equally skeptical of the reply.
Thinking that he has a lot of people and vehicles on land, he only dares to break through the surface step by step.
And the so-called Blue Sea Mist Fleet came up to advertise that they were going to uproot the three defensive positions in Zakun City at the same time.
"That's what you mean, too?"
The commander looked around at his colleagues in the United Front Department.
Most of them had the same expression, disagreeing with the admiral's wild words.
In the eyes of their army, the navy is a group of reckless men who can only stand on the side of a warship, and no matter how subtle the tactics are put on the navy, they can finally become a comparison of the caliber of the ship's guns against the ship.
If three light cruisers meet one heavy cruiser, they will definitely not be able to defeat them.
Heavy Patrol meets Battle Patrol, no matter how advantageous you are, you will always be defeated by the cannon of the opponent's giant ship.
The army generals were dismissive of this.
In their opinion, as long as the tactical layout is used properly, nothing is impossible.
It's common for infantry to annihilate mechanized legions, for light tanks to overthrow heavy main battle tank groups, isn't it?
And since ancient times, there has been a talk of beheading.
No matter how powerful the troops are, they will take out your entire command first, and then you won't have much combat power left.
Therefore, the army generals do not understand the thinking of the navy during the war, knowing that the "brain" is on the specially erected bridge, why do you have to stare at the main armor of others.
Hit the bridge.
As long as the bridge is removed, the ship or the deep-sea fleet will be paralyzed.
Hehe, it is difficult for people who were not born in the Navy to understand how difficult it is to hit a target more than a dozen kilometers away on a turbulent and undulating sea.
Therefore, as far as the overall background is concerned, most of the army commanders of the Azure Star Federation are not used to the admirals of the navy, and they are not used to seeing the navy collapse at every turn and sinking into the sand, and then the responsibility is shifted to the number of tonnage of the main gun caliber and other reasons.
What's more, the navy, which obviously has no achievements, enjoys several levels of treatment higher than the army.
They also thought that the gentlemanly demeanor of the admirals' white uniforms was that they were all eggless cowards who would only hide under women's skirts.
The Commander stared at the map on the wall.
A huge combat center that can almost be called a group army level does not even have a sand table.
Some of them were just a sloppy and non-standard battle map in the eyes of a certain admiral, marked with various pins as the deployment of troops on both sides of the battle.
"Intelligence says that the two battleships of the Blue Sea Mist Fleet use new main guns, and the maximum range can reach 40-50 kilometers, as long as they are close to the land coastline, they can bring the Zakuras line into range."
Zakouras Line.
That's what the Admiral said about Area C.
"I have to say, the Admiral sees farther than we do." The Commander said.
The army generals did not know that they would have to withstand heavy fire from both sides when they broke through from Area B, but now they had no choice but to attack.
If it is really possible to pinch out the artillery in Area A and suppress the fortifications in Area C, the point in Area B will prevent the army from casually rushing over with men and vehicles.
"40-50 km, huh!" One of the commanders snorted disdainfully.
"Everyone knows that the women in the navy are shooting with their eyes closed."
"They can't hit anyone with hundreds of shells in 20 kilometers, who can guarantee that they won't hit us in the head in 4~50 kilometers?"
"It's still 50 kilometers, I suspect that this number is the little guy's casual nonsense, as far as I know, the main gun of the Yamato-class battleship of the Navy's ace ship Yamato-class battleship has a range of only 42 kilometers."
What's more, hitting a target at a limit distance is only equivalent to gently smashing a shell on the enemy.
Except for the explosive power of the shell itself, there is no armor penetration or anything at all.
Besides, whether the shells can explode at such a distance is another matter.
"This is not what the Admiral said, but from the Zakun City Sea Fleet, they have personally experienced the power of the main guns of the Blue Sea Mist Fleet."
"I still reserve my opinion, it is not impossible for Zakun City to be defeated by itself, and it is not impossible to exaggerate the strength of the other party to make excuses for its own defeat, and my opinion is to carry out the operation according to the original plan."
"I agree with the original plan."
"I'm more inclined to have a plan of action drawn up by so many of us than the Admiral's personal assurances."
"But what the Admiral mentioned is also true, even if he can only paralyze the remote main artillery position of the Sayala Line, it will help us considerably, I think it can be considered, just an hour in advance."
"Reconsideration, the overall plan has not changed much, and we can completely let some troops move in advance."
The commanders of the Army expressed their opinions.
Disagreement is a common occurrence, especially in front-line combat units.
The commander-in-chief only paid attention to his subordinates, and his subordinates were spitting and red-faced arguing about this crucial point for an hour.
Although the officers who opposed the revised plan were reasonable, the argument ended up being dominated by the voices in favor of letting the Blue Sea Mist fleet do it first.
The reason is simple.
Because it did not affect the original plan of action.
As some people have just proposed, the most common thing is the change of some troops.
The plan put forward by the Blue Sea Mist Fleet has been a success, and it has been a great achievement for all the army generals present.
It is better to lose, it can always play a role in containing the enemy's firepower and make the army famous in front of the navy.
"In that case, notify the troops to start the operation an hour in advance."
……
The moon is dark and the wind is high and the night kills.
The sky was beautiful, and in the middle of the night, dark clouds obscured the last rays of moonlight.
The entire strait between the cities of Zakun and Gagu is as black as the front-line polluted waters of humanity and the deep-sea fleet.
The stealthy blue sea fog fleet was submerged in darkness that could not be seen, and when the first rays of sunlight in the morning showed half of the light from the end of the sea level, a thunderclap broke the silence on the sea.
Then the thunder flashed.
The burst of fire lit up half of the night.
The icy cannonball ignited in the chamber of the cannon, and burst out with a thousand forces.
A whirlwind of muzzle flame pierced into the night, and then turned into a red shadow in the high-speed friction with the air.
Countless red meteors fell precisely across the night sky, detonating a huge explosion and firelight that echoed far through the mountains and forests.
……
"Air Raid~" a poignant alarm.
"It's a shell from the sea!" Shocked reaction.
"The enemy is at sea, quickly let the artillery positions counterattack." Flustered command.
"Report, enemy...... There were a lot of enemies, and we were attacked by the combined fleet. "Unbelievably skeptical about life.
The night is the best canvas under the light of fire and light, and you can see the countless fires that flicker on the endless sea, not one or two dots, but the stars are connected together.
That simply cannot be the firepower that one or two battleships can have.
Not even a battleship.
……
"Started ......"
"Hey, it's such a big formation at the beginning?"
"With this firepower covering strength, has the Blue Sea Mist Fleet invested all the warships?"
"Didn't you say that the Blue Sea Mist Fleet only had two capital ships, and so many shells in the sky were not what two battleships could provide."
"With the intensity of the shelling that we have seen so far, Zakun City will not last long, and we have not seen the aircraft carrier airframe of the Blue Sea Fog Fleet, and eighty percent of Area A can be paralyzed."
"The question now is whether he can keep this firepower output if he encounters the sea fleet in Zakun City."
"Our friendly forces at sea have given us a big surprise."
"Yes, in this way, the pressure on us in Area A is definitely a few levels smaller."
……
"Report to the Admiral, suppress it first!"
"Well, well done, how prepared Lexington is."
"The bomber group has completed preparations for liftoff and is on its way to its destination......"
"The little devil reported to the Admiral that he had spotted two submarines of the enemy fleet emerging from the sea in front of Avi, and Avi didn't even notice that they were also hiding here."
"Mark the speed of the course, Ellie pays attention to calculating the entry time of the opponent's submarine, and Avi continues to ambush in place and does not see the enemy aircraft carrier not acting."
"Yes, Admiral."
"Andrea Doria has been waiting for a long time."
……
"Report, enemy fighters were spotted at sea, it was a carrier-based bomber formation of an aircraft carrier."
"What about our air defense positions, let them pull the net of fire."
"Anti-...... Most of the anti-aircraft positions were destroyed! ”
"What-"
"The enemy deliberately stared at us and concentrated artillery fire on the attack, and now most of the positions have suffered heavy losses."
"Soul light, why didn't anyone find the enemy on the sea before, and the people at the sentry post lookout were all asleep or dead, ah?"
"Report ...... It was reported that the enemy had an unusually long range, that the guards on duty at the outpost had not been able to detect the enemy at first, and that the enemy had been attacking us at the farthest distance from us. ”
"(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻, a bunch of rice buckets!)
……
"Fear ...... Terror! ”
"It's been blowing up for an hour, right?"
"How many warships did that admiral put in, it would have to raze that hill to the ground."
"What do you think...... How many positions can the city of Zakun keep in this situation, and I mean, how much more pressure can they put on us? ”
"I guess there's not much left!"
"At this time, the two fleets should also meet, why are their focus still on land?"
"Report to the commander, the 'inner ghost' is here."
"What signal did he send at this time, not afraid of revealing his identity?"
The other party reported...... Say ......"
"Say what?"
"Say that the only aircraft carrier in the city of Zakun was sunk!"
PS: Schoolboy: There is nothing in the night battle that cannot be solved by one torpedo, if there is, then a few more!
