Chapter 16: Armageddon I
Shangjiang City, May 24, 2024
With a loud bang, a huge fire erupted from a private house, followed by thick smoke rising into the sky.
Since the last time he successfully sniped the sneak attack of the advance fleet of the Wa Kingdom, the embarrassed and angry Yamamoto Kazumoku launched dozens of suicide attacks on Kamie City. In some cases, members of the flying death squad piloted planes laden with bombs, risked their lives to break into the defensive ring of Shangjiang City, and then found the nearest target that he thought was very important and collided with it. Some were spies and traitors from the Japanese state, covered with explosives, and detonated in a lively place on the streets of Shangjiang.
Just now, a Japanese spy was discovered by the SS and forced him into a private house, and he detonated the detonator he was strapped to his body.
According to the report sent back by the reconnaissance plane at the front, a large number of Yamamoto Kazume's main warships left the Shikoku Island military port last night and then entered the vast Pacific Ocean. He should have wanted to go around the Pacific Ocean, avoid the reconnaissance of the Huaxia Air Force, and then wait for an opportunity to sneak attack Shangjiang City.
The powerful air force of the Huaxia State has ensured that the air supremacy is firmly controlled in its own hands, and the Japanese State, which has always been dependent on the United States, does not have particularly advanced fighters, and no matter the quantity and quality of the air force, it is far from being the opponent of the Huaxia State. In the nearly a month since the outbreak of the conflict, the main warplanes of the Japanese state have been almost lost, and now they can only rely on their powerful navy to make a last-ditch effort.
Vincent was standing in a hidden fortification on the coastal defense line of Shangjiang City, which was composed of a reinforced concrete structure up to 4 meters thick, fully enclosed, covered with camouflage nets, and only a rectangular opening one meter wide and 0.8 meters high was left on the side of the sea. You have to climb in and out from here.
However, although the entrance is small, there is a lot of space inside, and there is a complete kitchen, washroom, bedroom, etc. Once inside, the soldier can stay inside for 1 month without receiving supplies. The fortifications are cleverly designed, a 0.5-meter-thick steel gate is set up at the entrance, once the coastal defense is breached, the gate can be lowered, the entire fortification can be closed, and then wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and the thick outer wall can ensure that the Japanese army in a state of beach grabbing has no time or opportunity to blast it open.
What kind of stuff needs such a strong fortification to store? Now Vincent was looking the behemoth in front of him up and down. This is a big guy 20 meters long, 3 meters high, and 5 meters wide, and there is a track more than 10 meters long in the direction of the entrance in front, and more than 20 wheels are installed under the big guy, and along the rails laid below, it should not be difficult to guess that this is to allow the track in front to stretch out to the outside of the fortification through the entrance.
This is Vincennes' hidden secret weapon - the electromagnetic railgun. A heavy mass killer, whether it is anti-aircraft, anti-missile, anti-armor or against satellites in low orbits, it is extremely powerful. Now, Vincent has set it up on the seashore for anti-ship, although with current technology, the railgun has the weakness of being too slow to bless energy, and can only fire a shot every five minutes. However, imagine that a single shot can penetrate a battleship and break a hole in the hull with a diameter of 5 meters, what battleship can withstand such a shot and still float on the sea?
What they are doing now is an electromagnetic railgun firing exercise, and the target is a modified patrol boat on the sea 15 kilometers away, and the armor plates of that patrol boat have been specially reinforced to the thickness of an ordinary destroyer. I saw an operator push the joystick, and the electromagnetic railgun slowly moved forward, and the track in front of the gun body poked out along the entrance.
After reaching the designated position, the railgun stopped, and with the sound of the characteristic "hum" of the current, the entire railgun began to accumulate energy, and the dense coils wrapped around the cannon body burst out from time to time with dazzling electric sparks, making a "zizi" sound. A robotic arm stretched out, picked up an alloy bullet 1.5 meters long, 0.7 meters in diameter, and weighing 60 kilograms and placed it on the track.
After 5 minutes, the energy has accumulated to the critical point, the operator pressed the launch button, just like the flashing light of the camera, the shell that was still in orbit just disappeared in an instant, only to see that the target ship 15 kilometers away suddenly burst open, debris and wreckage were all over the sky, after everything was calm, the sea was empty, and nothing existed.
Vincent put down the binoculars and smiled with satisfaction at the gunpowder behind him: "Not bad, although you didn't bring back too many heavy weapons last time, but the few high-tech weapons you brought back are still very interesting, I didn't expect the power of the railgun to be so powerful, with this thing, Yamamoto Kazume's flagship only needs to show his head to kill him as soon as possible." ”
Gunpowder smiled stupidly, and said a little crampedly: "Boss, that ...... Are you busy first? I have something to deal with. ”
Vincent flew up and kicked Gunpowder's thigh, laughing and scolding, "Are you looking for Sequoia again?" You are a big man who can make a little girl look like this. ”
Gunpowder smiled, ignoring Vincent's invective. He crawled out of the entrance and went to find the redwood.
Since the gunpowder returned, he used his position to transfer Sequoia to his side, which naturally caused Ah Wu's strong dissatisfaction, but under the strong suppression of Red Sleeves, Ah Wu reluctantly accepted this order.
However, gunpowder is still very kind, and through Shi Lingling's relationship, he introduced the well-behaved and lovely Li Ke to Ah Wu. Unexpectedly, as soon as the well-behaved Li Ke and the beast-like Ah Wu met, they met each other, facing the redwoods with too many variables and Li Ke in front of him, Ah Wu decisively chose the latter, and Li Ke was no worse than Sequoia, and his well-behaved personality was more suitable for Ah Wu's machismo.
Vincent also crawled out of the hidden fortifications, patted the floating dirt on his body, and looked to the north. Since the last time Red Sleeves mentioned to him about the north, he deliberately asked Ai Mengmeng to send a group of spies to the north, according to the information sent back, the situation in the north is becoming more and more unstable, if he can't end the war here as soon as possible, and then focus on the north, then the situation over there will become out of control, and he will want to recover there, and he will face the embarrassment of getting nothing.
