Chapter 281: Raising the White Flag

AC-130U 'Sky Gunboat', codenamed 'Ghost'. The beacon of democracy was built specifically to bully children. The cost of 190 million is simply scary to death, and only when the Yankees were not short of money did they build this thing, and when the Yankees were out of money, they couldn't afford to make such an expensive thing.

This thing has a great characteristic, that is, when facing an enemy who can't beat it, it can bully you to death! It flies fast, flies far, has a long endurance, has strong firepower, has a lot of bombs, has good fire control, and has a good aim. If someone who has no skills is targeted by it, it will be a disaster!

The way to bully people is to go around the enemy's anti-aircraft fire range, which 105mm howitzer it is equipped with, although the distance of attacking five kilometers is a bit far, but people can play slowly. If you can't kill with one shot, you can move on to the next shot, and you can only stare dryly!

The biggest headache is that it flies in the sky, and you can't run yet!

However, the people of Nassau Harbor have not yet come to this sense, and the captain of the 'Bunker Hill' is still instructing the commanding officer of the 'Phalanx' air defense system, "When that transport plane approaches, I will shoot him down." ”

The personnel controlling the 'Phalanx' were retired soldiers from the 'Brotherhood of Steel,' and when they saw that the point of light on the radar screen representing the transport plane was actually circling outside their firepower, an extremely bad feeling arose.

Although there is no way to see the AC-130U directly, among the transport planes in the world, only the Yankee converted 'air gunboat' will go around you in circles when they are full. As soon as this centripetal trajectory stabilizes, the attack begins.

However, the effective firing range of the "phalanx" close-in defense artillery is only 1,800 meters, and the maximum firing range is 5,000 meters. The AC-130U is hiding in a very safe five thousand meters away, which makes it impossible to do anything, because a 20-millimeter shell can't hit that far!

"Sir, I'm afraid something is wrong!"

"What's wrong?"

"This is no ordinary transport plane."

"And what is it?"

"It's most likely a gunboat machine."

"Gunboat machine?"

Listening to the speculation of the air defense officer, the Cuban captain on the bridge began to have black lines on his head. He hurriedly threw himself to the bulletproof glass window of the bridge, raised his binoculars and looked at the transport plane that was spinning in circles.

What the fuck!

On one side of the fuselage of the opposite transport plane there was a 25-mm small-caliber cannon, then a 40-mm medium-caliber cannon, and finally a 105-mm howitzer.

Hold a big grass! This is really the Yankee's gunboat, which has entered the attack route and is about to open fire.

"Be the first to fire! Knock it down. The captain of 'Bunker Hill' suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and gave an order anxiously.

"Captain, we can't reach each other, the 20mm cannon of the 'Phalanx' is not even as good as the thinnest 25mm 'GAU-12' cannon, and it can't be compared at all." The air defense officer's words immediately made the captain fall into an ice cave.

I can't fight, so what about the current situation? The captain ran out of ideas.

Before the Cubans on the Bunker Hill could figure it out, the AC-130U on the opposite side had already opened fire! A bang came from afar, and the shells landed early within 100 meters of this tank landing ship. Didn't hit!

Well......, the accuracy of the cannon on the flying platform is not too accurate. It's okay, one more shot. When the hydraulic buffer in the gunboat was reset, the loader again stuffed a high-explosive shell into the chamber, the fire controller shouted 'fire', and the howitzer recoiled violently on the slide rail, and there was another boom.

When two shells arrived one after another, all the people watching the excitement in the port fell silent, and the scene in front of them was a bit incomprehensible. The splash of grenades was washing the deck of the Bunker Hill, and the other escort patrol ships seemed to be moving away from the frightened fish, and the small boats that were surrounding the sea trying to follow to make a fortune were on the verge of death.

At this moment, the old Santos's fleet was about to leave the port but did not leave the port, and the people in the port could see it clearly, the seemingly harmless transport plane actually showed its terrible fangs in the blink of an eye - it was firing guns!

The Cubans who watched the excitement were completely blinded, especially when they saw the shells being fired one after another, hitting more and more accurately, and causing more and more harm, and some people were holding their heads, and they had already entered a frightened mode.

"How could this happen?"

"How can this transport plane fire?"

"Why didn't our ship shoot it down?"

"I have a bad feeling that today's fleet will be as bad luck as last time."

Compared with the Cubans, who were already confused, the Bahamians who were forcibly dragged to join in the fun were jubilant. They were originally numb and sluggish, in a state of depression and decadence, but now when they saw that the 'Bunker Hill' was actually under fire, they immediately cheered like chickens.

"Oh my God, that plane is firing! I saw the plane firing. ”

"The Cuban ship is going to be out of luck, hahahaha, I'm so happy! It is God punishing them. ”

"I knew that the people of the Aurora Legion would not come to die in vain, and I was right."

Five thousand meters is a long way to go, but every shell makes the Cubans aboard the Bunker Hill shudder. The captain of the bridge was already mad, and he ordered the escort patrol ship to chase out the gunboat, but the patrol ship itself was on the run, and no one obeyed the command.

Five shells fired, and one hit the 'Bunker Hill'. Although the grenade hit the hull and did not penetrate the hull, the huge shock still made the whole ship panic.

What's even worse is that electronic departments such as radar and communications have sent alerts to the bridge, reporting that all kinds of equipment exposed by them are extremely delicate, and if they are bombarded, it will be completely finished.

The captain of Bunker Hill suddenly had a big head, and he searched for all the weapons he could control, but none of them could hit the gunboat. The range of the 'phalanx' was out of reach, but the 76-mm main gun was within reach, but it was not accurate at all in the face of fast-flying gunboats.

What to do? The captain didn't know what to do, and it seemed that he had to go back to port and flee for his life!

But in the face of the AC-130U, which can fly in the sky, the speed of the 'Bunker Hill' is as slow as a snail at 14 knots. It was not easy for it to run out of the port, and it was slow to go back now. Especially in the case of constant shelling, the huge pressure can make people collapse.

When a dozen shells were fired, a grenade hit the bridge directly, and the bulletproof armor prevented the command staff inside the bridge from being harmed. But the huge tremor broke the captain's will to resist.

If he could cry, the Cuban captain would have to bow down and cry bitterly, "I'm just a tank landing ship here!" I really have no choice, I can't fight and can't fight, I can't run and can't run, in order not to consume the lives of soldiers meaninglessly, for the peace of mankind, I am willing to surrender! ”

In this way, from the appearance of the AC-130U to the surrender of the 'Bunker Hill', the time did not exceed 20 minutes, and more than 10 shells were consumed, and only two were hit. Basically, there was no damage to the tank landing ship, not even a single person died, and as a result, it raised the white flag! (To be continued.) )
