Chapter Thirty-Six: The Raid on Easter Island
Holidays always go by so quickly, that's what everyone wants. The soldiers returned to their barracks the next morning, and the troops began their march towards the Egyptian port of Suez. After 3 days of marching, the troops finally reached their destination, and according to the plan, the fleet will also arrive tomorrow.
At this time in Australia, Sydney was completely controlled by Yuri's forces. Although other areas are still in the hands of the government, it is very puzzling that the Australian army has neither asked for help from the US military, nor has it sent troops to carry out recovery operations, and it seems that the whole of Australia is still under the control of the other side's mind. In fact, Australia's prime minister was replaced long before the outbreak of the Great War. Moreover, the main members of the government were also replaced by replicants, and at that time, all countries were busy clearing and eliminating their own Yuri forces, so no anomalies in Australia were found at all.
If it weren't for an American oil tanker that rescued a group of Australian drifters, I'm afraid it wouldn't have leaked for a while! From the mouths of these refugees, they learned that Australia has become the world of replicants, and if they weren't vigilant enough to find out that the people around them are strange, I am afraid they would have been replaced long ago. However, the way to escape is also full of dangers, and you must always beware of the interrogation of replicants and puppet governments. In the end, less than one-tenth of those who survived until now were able to survive.
The day after the fleet arrived at the port, the day after it arrived, all the troops and equipment were loaded and restocked, and the fleet began its voyage to Australia. At the same time, the American and Allied forces in Europe also organized a large expeditionary fleet to gallop towards Australia.
However, while passing through a small island, the tripartite fleet accidentally spotted a strange-looking submarine washed up on the beach. The submarine was badly damaged, but a lot of valuable information was found under the search of coalition professionals. Not only did he get the weapons intelligence and some of the research and development plans of Yuri's army, but he also discovered the location of Yuri's secret submarine base in the Pacific Ocean. At this time, there was a disagreement within the coalition forces, and the Soviet army's General Villadimore decided that the submarine base should be destroyed, and the threat from the sea was removed. General Cavino of the U.S. Army continued to insist on rushing to Australia's aid, rescuing the local people and destroying the replicant factory. As a result, the two sides broke up unhappily at the meeting, and the two sides began to act separately. And after Li Ming received Li Feng's latest order, he decided to follow the Soviet army to attack the submarine base.
The Combined Fleet was then divided into two armies, one of which continued to advance towards Australia. The other group began to make its way to Easter Island, which was mentioned in the intelligence. After several days of sailing, the Soviet fleet finally reached the position stated by the intelligence, and although it was very careful, it was discovered by the garrison on Yuri Island. The fleet was suddenly attacked by the opponent's thundering submarines, and two Dreadnought-class cruisers were sunk by the opponent as soon as the fire was exchanged. Fortunately, the submarines and anti-submarine frigates in the Chinese fleet quickly deployed and began to hunt and kill enemy submarines. And the anti-submarine patrol aircraft on the aircraft carrier also quickly took off and joined the melee. However, it was surprising that the battleship's light anti-submarine torpedoes did very little damage to such a strange submarine. If you want to sink one, you need at least 5 or more anti-submarine torpedoes to hit in order to completely destroy the opponent.
The Soviets, who reacted, also ordered their giant octopus and typhoon submarine forces to return fire, and the sea was full of fish explosions and the cracking of sunken ships. However, although the invincible giant octopus of the Soviet army entangled the opponent, it could not tear the shell of the opponent. Instead, it was grilled into an iron plate squid by the strong current above. However, fortunately, the submarine's torpedoes were still very effective against it, otherwise the losses of the troops would have been great.
General Viladimo quickly ordered all armored landing ships to quickly land on the beach. And half of the submarine force was sent for cover support. At this time, although the Chinese Navy sank several thundering submarines, it also suffered great losses, and nearly one-third of the units participating in the anti-submarine defense had already been lost. And there are at least nearly 60 enemy submarines on sonar. Only then did Li Ming realize that he was afraid that he would not be able to carry these hundreds of ships. So all the ships were ordered to cover the landing force and forcibly seize the beach. Otherwise, once the anti-submarine network is breached, the losses of its own army will be large. This kind of senseless loss is not what Li Ming wants to see.
The troops of both sides succeeded in seizing the beach, although they were counterattacked by the opposing army. However, under the blows of powerful ground forces, the defense line quickly collapsed. Unexpectedly, the opponent's thundering submarine suddenly surfaced, and one after another ground-to-ground missiles flew towards the landed coalition forces. The newly established defensive line was blown to pieces all at once. However, Li Ming and General Villadimo also grasped the weakness of the opponent's inability to move when firing missiles. Missiles of various weapons inflicted covered strikes on targets. Almost instantly, the opposing submarine forces were blown into scrap metal, and almost all the thundering submarines that floated up were attacked by at least 10 or more anti-ship missiles. The enemy on sonar has also dropped from dozens to several, and they are fleeing into the deep sea.
After arranging for more than 10 submarines and five antisubmarine patrol planes to pursue him, Li Ming also got on a helicopter on his flagship and arrived at the landing island under the protection of 10 carrier-based air supremacy fighters. However, the map received from the satellite system shows that the terrain of this place is too rugged. The coalition forces fought on the island and finally approached the opposing base the next morning. The Soviet terror robots were so powerful in the battle that they wiped out all the Yuri replicants along the way.
At this time, Li Ming's troops finally arrived at one of the opponent's bases, and in the face of the powerful steel torrent, no matter how strong the defense line was, it could not stop the powerful offensive, and the battle ended very smoothly. Of course, all the less damaged equipment was secretly transported back to the fleet, waiting for the day when it would be sent back to the fortress.
At the same time, the Soviets were attacking another enemy sub-base, but they were piled up at the door by the enemy's tank fortress. Due to the terrain being too narrow, the armored forces simply could not deploy. And the opponent's tank fortress is very strong, coupled with the cooperation of a large number of the opponent's Getter machine guns, the losses were heavy for a while, and even the Apocalypse tank, which is known for its defense, was destroyed. And the V3 rocket could not break through the interception of the opponent's Getter turret, and the Soviet army became helpless.
It was only then that Admiral Veratimo remembered that there seemed to be an experimental weapon in the fleet that had not been used, and it was unknown if it might work wonders!
This is the latest weapon artillery helicopter developed by the Soviet Union, due to the tension of the war table. He almost forgot about this weapon test mission, and poor Yuri's army never dreamed that his seemingly impregnable defense line would finally be broken through by a helicopter.
This helicopter becomes a 155-mm gun when deployed, and the range is just beyond the reach of the opponent. Eventually, under the blow of this artillery, the defensive line was quickly breached. In this battle, the artillery helicopter generals ran out of ammunition almost completely, but the results were impressive.
General Veratimore was very satisfied with this weapon and quickly contacted the Prime Minister, Comrade Lomanov. In addition to reporting on the recent combat situation, the performance of this new weapon and its performance on the battlefield were also praised heavily. Soon this weapon was approved for mass production by the General Armament Department at the behest of Prime Minister Comrade Lomanov.
The two forces finally met in the center of the island, where the other side's submarine base was located, and both forces began to strike at the enemy's shipyards, while the two navies completely blocked the exit from the other side's submarine base.
The aircraft carrier began to send fighter planes to attack the facilities and submarines moored in the submarine base, and finally the enemy forces were completely wiped out under the three-dimensional attack of the air and sea routes. And Li Ming's biggest gain in this battle may be the successful capture of a thundering submarine that has not yet had time to enter the people. It's a pity that the Soviet troops fought too hard, and by the time the technicians landed on the island, there was nothing of value left to study.
However, while searching the entire island, he unexpectedly found a rocket launch pad, a rocket ready to fly to the moon, and also found a large number of laser weapons on the island. Of course, Li Feng knew what Yuri's guy wanted to do, but the other party's movements were fast enough. Sure enough, it's a tough opponent!
And Yuri's ultimate backup plan is to establish a base on the moon, although he himself does not know what the consequences of the huge wave of psychic energy sweeping across the earth will be. However, it was painstakingly established a lunar base as a last resort. However, due to the lack of energy, it has not been used.
Li Feng knows very well the sexual personality of the Soviet Prime Minister, and it's time to give him a sweet date, and he can't always sing a one-man show! So he contacted Li Ming and handed over this difficult task to his loyal ally. The note from Huaguo was quickly delivered to the Kremlin of the Soviet Union, and Prime Minister Lomanov was overjoyed at this time, once the moon was captured, it would be a very face-saving thing both politically and militarily. So he contacted General Villadimo and told him to succeed, and the people of the world were watching this battle for the fate of the planet.
At this time, the troops that hunted the thundering submarine also returned, except for the loss of 8 submarines, the mission was successfully completed, and the other party was buried in the depths of the ocean forever. After bidding farewell to General Villadimore, Li Ming gathered more than 200 remaining warships and set out on a trip to Australia again. At this time, the U.S. troops had already completed the landing in Sydney, but it was very difficult to maintain the beachhead in the face of the tide of enemies. Then the Allied fleet that arrived joined the battle and finally broke through the opponent's first line of defense. However, it still can't destroy the opponent's mind control tower, and the opponent's reinforcements are constantly arriving. But no one noticed that a fleet had quietly landed in Australia, and troops were galloping towards Sydney in the desert.
