Chapter Ninety-Three: Detonation
Boom!! Inside the temporary headquarters of the U.S. forces in Persia, Sheffield smashed a table in a rage and yelled at "these damn politicians."
At this time, he also got the news that the 141 special service team had been abandoned, and it was not he who decided to give up 141, after all, 141 was a unit formed by him himself, and he couldn't give up so easily.
But this is an order from the Ministry of Defense, he can't stop it, and he doesn't even have the ability to send someone to the rescue himself...... His troops were all attacking Persia, and it was impossible for him to go to the rescue in time, and he did not have the authority to send people to rescue those military bases close to the Russian region.
But he soon ran out of energy to take care of it.
"General, we have found a device that appears to be a nuclear bomb in the city." Just as Sheffield was on fire, an officer walked in and said.
"What? Can you be sure? Sheffield immediately asked.
"It's impossible to know for sure, the nuclear processing team is on its way to investigate," the officer replied.
"Immediately let everyone withdraw from the area first, and let the nuclear processing team confirm the target as soon as possible" Sheffield said with a solemn face, "Why is there no news in advance, those intelligence services are all eating." ”
After all, nuclear bombs are not a joke, and the Russian affair has proven that Zakayev does have a nuclear bomb, and why can't Alasard, as his ally, have it? Even if Alassard does not have the ability to drop a nuclear bomb, even if it is a time bomb, the result is not something that the Marines can afford.
After all, now that the Marines have completed the siege of Deland City and have invaded the city, if the nuclear bomb explodes at this time, Sheffield can't imagine this result.
"Yes, General" The officer also knew that the matter was urgent, and immediately turned around to deliver the order.
And in the city of Tereland, the main force of the Marine Corps, is conducting a storming in the direction of a building.
This building is where the nuclear bomb is located.
It was impossible for Alice and Tianquake to raid here before without attracting the attention of the US military, so this side quickly became a main direction of attack.
This main force encountered extremely stubborn resistance in the attack, which made the US commander think that this place was hidden, so he continued to increase the intensity of the attack, and also invested two power armored special operations teams as the vanguard.
Inside the building, a Persian rebel officer was overwhelmed by the constant bad news from his men.
"How? Is the nuclear bomb ready?" the rebel officer couldn't hold back and asked again to the room, the expert who was repairing the nuclear bomb.
"No problem, it's ready to use," the expert said after installing the last part of the bomb, but his eyes were a little wandering as he said this.
This expert is a scientist in Persia, and he is a very good expert.
Alice's previous suspicious methods were not clever, and he had already discovered the charge of this bomb at the first time, which had actually been replaced, but the expert did not say anything about it.
Because he was forced by these rebels to do something for them, and as a normal Persian, he would never want a real nuclear bomb to explode in his own capital, so he chose to hide it very simply.
Anyway, this group of rebel soldiers, all of them are a bunch of illiterate Allah-stolen people, expecting them to find out that something is wrong with the nuclear bomb? Hehe.
And the rebel officer on the side obviously didn't know what this expert was thinking, as long as the other party said that the nuclear bomb could be used, then it would be fine.
"Okay, detonate it for me at once, and let those Yankees go to hell with us," the rebel officer ordered with a frenzy when he heard that the nuclear bomb was ready to be used.
The rebels who remain in the city are basically fanatical people who are not afraid of death, and their purpose is to delay the attack of the American army, and then detonate the nuclear bomb and drag these American troops to die together.
As for Alassard himself and Makarov, they had already fled with their cronies long before the American attack.
At this time, they were in the desert hundreds of kilometers away from Deland, holding binoculars and preparing to watch the big fireworks.
At this time, the main attacking force of the Marine Corps had not yet received the notice of retreat, and the two power armored special combat teams had just stormed the building, and the Persian officer had already pressed the detonator......
With a loud bang, a mushroom cloud rose into the air in the center of Deland, making people feel as if they had come to the end of the world......
Wait a minute...... No, why is this mushroom cloud so small?
Alassard in the distance realized that something was wrong, and the gap between the power and what he thought was too big, right?
"This is a nuclear bomb? There is a nuclear bomb with such a small power? "Alasard also saw this 'little firework' through the military telescope, and looked at Makarov on the side in disbelief, did you sell me a fake?
In fact, this firework is not small, although it has been changed from a nuclear bomb to a cloud burst bomb, but the cloud burst bomb is known as a subnuclear weapon.
Alice is loaded with a cloudburst bomb containing about 100 kilograms of high-energy fuel, which has a power of 1 ton of TNT equivalent and a killing radius of more than 100 meters, which is also very powerful.
But it is clear that this power is certainly not comparable to a five-ton nuclear bomb.
"I don't know what's going on" Makarov also looked incredulous (ΩДΩ), although this nuclear bomb is an old-fashioned nuclear bomb with a lot of ideas, but it is not so powerful? I've never heard of a shelf life for nuclear bombs.
And in the Deland room, the American soldiers who originally thought that the nuclear bomb would explode and were sad in their hearts also discovered that something was wrong, the power of the nuclear bomb was so small? Especially the American soldiers who were far away, except for feeling a strong wind, there was nothing to do.
However, compared to Alasard, who was a well-informed American soldier, quickly distinguished by the color and shape of the mushroom cloud that the explosion should not be a nuclear bomb, but only a cloud bomb.
This made the US military breathe a sigh of relief...... It's not a nuclear bomb.
After all, the killing of a nuclear bomb is not only the power of its explosion, but more importantly, its optical radiation and nuclear radiation.
If the nuclear bomb that just exploded was a real one, then the 30,000 marines in the entire city of Deland would not be spared...... If you don't get killed, you will die because of radiation, which is an unacceptable loss for the entire US military.
However, the cloudburst bomb is a cloudburst bomb after all, although it is not as good as a nuclear bomb, but it still caused a lot of casualties to the attacking US army...... Relative to the war as a whole.
Casualty statistics were quickly sent to Sheffield's desk.
The explosion of the cloud burst bomb was the closest, and the 40-member power armored special combat team that had already entered the building was completely wiped out, while about 80 American soldiers were killed in the explosion area, and about 200 people were injured.
In the entire course of the previous war, the US military suffered less than 100 casualties.
Seeing this casualty figure, a furious Sheffield smashed a table again.
