725 Landing (2)

The shadow of the moon swayed and rippled, shattering as the waves crashed against the reef. ※※※※※ I ※ I ※ ※

The scene that happened 200 kilometers away in San Diego during the day has spread all over the world, even if this outpost deployed 16 kilometers northwest of the sea off Santa Barbara, on the island of Santa Rocha, the lookout battle shuddered.

"Roger, do you think they can hold Tijuana?" The partner bumped into Roger, who was observing the sea, and the latter sighed as if he hadn't heard.

In three hours, the fleet was destroyed, and more than forty percent of the harbor and shore defense facilities were blown up in one day.

Now that the Chinese have landed on Mexico's Baja California Peninsula, one infantry division stationed in the station has been dispersed, and the other three infantry divisions that went to support have formed a temporary defensive line, but when the enemy's fleet and planes return after dawn, God knows the outcome.

When the moon is in the sky, the sea is dotted with silver light, such weather makes the soldiers a lot easier, not to mention that the main force of the Chinese fleet is still 200 kilometers away, so everyone's mind turns to the fierce battle on the Baja California Peninsula.

Roger felt that his eyes were a little sour after watching it, and it was almost impossible to suddenly attack in this kind of moonlight and good sight weather, so he also joined the discussion.

At the moment when he put down the binoculars, he didn't notice the shore not far away, and suddenly dozens of phantoms popped out from under the water, black shark skin water leaning, wide eyeproof goggles, heavy oxygen cylinders on the back, and the snorkel in the mouth, making them look extremely weird.

After finding a bush to cover his figure, Ye Guohui quickly put down the heavy oxygen cylinder, and after tearing off the tarpaulin bag and changing clothes, he began to check the equipment.

As a seal, water ghost infiltration is a few techniques that must be mastered, so Ye Guohui and his partners are very ready and quickly start to arrange tasks by moonlight.

Compared to the island-dense Southwest Pacific, there are not many islands off the west coast of the United States, except for a group of islands in the shallow bay between Santa Barbara and San Diego, and Santa Rosa Island is one of them.

There are few resources on the island of San Rocha, and there is no good port, so it has not attracted much attention, but as the Chinese Navy is approaching step by step, in order to warn the mainland behind it, a large lookout station has been built here, and the watchtower is dozens of meters high to monitor the situation in the surrounding sea day and night.

After crossing the island of Santa Rocha is Santa Barbara, and after deciding to land here, this watchtower is a bit of a stark, and if it is not terminated in advance, he can provide Santa Barbara and Los Angeles with half an hour of warning time, even if it is five minutes for a plane.

Although a single round of artillery shells could destroy the place, that would be tantamount to telling the United States that they were going to land here, so the seals were ordered to occupy the place before landing.

The watchtower, an infantry company, was not too much of a problem for the seals in the past, but the accident during the battle for the lock made Ye Guohui feel up to the spirit, if the other party sent a telegram, it would inevitably cause a lot of trouble, so the other party's radio station must be cut off first.

The tall watchtowers are good coordinates, and the posters have reached the target very quickly, and the row of wooden barracks built around the watchtower is the main target.

After the machine gun and sniper were in place, Ye Guohui pointed to his eyes, made a neck strangulation movement, and then quickly made a few gestures.

Several assault men immediately understood what he meant, took out their crossbows with their guns on their backs, and then stuck the poisoned crossbow arrows in the slot, and crawled towards the sentry.

After a few wind-breaking sounds, the U.S. sentry didn't even shout, and fell to the ground, seeing the sentry who had been solved, Ye Guohui took the lead in pulling out his dagger and rushed to the barracks.

Covering his mouth, cutting his throat, and gently putting it on the corpse, everything seemed familiar.

Ye Guohui picked up the submachine gun again, searched room by room, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the faint telegraph room in the west corner of the camp.

Boom .......

Several explosions rang out from the generator room and the telegraph room at the same time, and the tall antenna collapsed in an instant, which immediately frightened Roger and the other soldiers who were executing on the watchtower, and before he could turn on the searchlight, a bullet had already penetrated his chest.

The sound of gunfire fell silent for less than ten minutes, and when a few seals climbed the watchtower, turned on the searchlights, and flashed west three times as planned, a small battle was over.

The telegraph room was back in the light again, the communications corps began to check and restore the U.S. military radio station, several seals began to re-erect antennas, and after a few moments the watchtower's communications were back to normal, though no one knew that it had changed hands.

Half an hour later, a seaplane was already flying west with a codebook, a translator and a captured backup radio station.

The plane, slowly stopped next to the Snow Sculpture, and before it had time to take the plane back, the intelligence non-commissioned officer rushed to send what the pilot had brought back into the center of electric warfare.

No wonder he is in a hurry, since the beginning of the war, there are more than 100 US cipher machines seized, but don't look at the poor combat effectiveness of the US military, the equipment is not good, but the management and application of radio is more rigorous than that of European countries, and some radio technology has also appeared, so the Ministry of Intelligence has not been able to decipher the US military cipher for a long time.

This codebook and translator alone cannot monitor the telegraph communications of the US military during the entire war, but as long as the fall of San Rosa Island has not been discovered by the US military, then the communication code of California will definitely not be changed in the next few days, which means that it can allow the Ministry of Intelligence to grasp the US military communications during the period before the landing!

"Immediately transcribe a copy and send it to Honolulu, and bring it to the radio station." After getting the three treasures, Minin was also excited, and immediately began to arrange work, but unfortunately the technical strength of the electric reconnaissance ship is limited, and this kind of American-produced radio must be sent to Honolulu, which has strong technical capabilities, for analysis, but there are translators and code books, which are enough to do a lot of things!

"Contact the Golden Eagle and the Vulture and ask them to send us the intercepted signal for translation."

"The southeast of the route, strengthen the power, and all the listening personnel will be in place immediately!"

"The translation team, take place immediately."

For this landing battle, the navy sent three of the four Golden Eagle-class electric reconnaissance ships over and intercepted many telegrams, but because there was no translator and codebook, they could only be saved.

As the Snow Sculpture sent out the signal, the other two ships also knew that they had succeeded here, and immediately sent a steady stream of intercepted signals, and the translation team was immediately busy, and even Minin himself rolled up his sleeves to help.

By the time the sun returned to the sea, dozens of previously intercepted telegrams had been deciphered, and almost ninety percent of the communications contained a few keywords.

"Support, Baja California, Tijuana."

There is no doubt that the U.S. military is mobilizing troops to quickly support the border of the peninsula! Looking at these keywords, Minin finally laughed and handed the translated content to the staff officer: "Send it to the command, it's time to do it!" ”

On the roof of the Honolulu villa, looking at the fleet carrying 5 infantry divisions leaving the bay, Li Mo touched his nose and walked downstairs.

"Did Zhao Long go back?"

"I've already gone back, and the prime minister arrived safely in Beijing last night." Chen Ping, who accompanied him, said: "The telegram said that today governments and parliaments will start reviewing the Istanbul agreement, and if it goes well, the agreement can be adopted next week." ”

Silently responded, don't look at him leisurely, but the worry between his eyebrows still hasn't dissipated, although the headquarters is close at hand, he also wants to go and see, but in order not to add burden and pressure to the soldiers at this critical moment, he still endured it.

Chen Ping also went to listen to the report every once in a while and did not sit in charge in person, the reason is the same, he is the chief of the general staff of the three services, according to the Chinese military regulations, if he goes, he will automatically become a senior commander, which will limit the development of the generals below.

"...... over the island."

"An hour ago, all of them departed, a total of 986 ships, and I have asked the Navy to send experienced navigators to report the weather conditions at any time, and if it goes well, it is expected that the attack can be launched in the early morning of the 28th."

"In addition, according to last night's statistics, San Diego has been basically paralyzed, and the 1st Artillery Formation and 2 heavy carriers will converge on the 27th to provide fire support." Chen Ping knew what Li Mo was worried about, and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, I'm sure I'll go ashore." ”

"I'm sure of that, too." Li Mo muttered in his heart, but the nervousness was not fake, although the scale of the later Normandy landings he knew was large, but how wide was the English Channel? Even so, more than 3,000 ships were dispatched, and the Air Force flew tens of thousands of sorties in a matter of days.

And at that time, the rail and road network in Europe was already well developed enough for the landing soldiers to walk a few steps to reach the lines of communication, but if you went to what is now Mexico, it would only be a vast desert.

If Mexico's traffic and transportation facilities could meet the standards of World War II, he would not have risked struggling with people like California, but the problem is that there is no railroad on the Baja California Peninsula at all, and the south of Tijuana is also mountainous, and the seaports along the coast of the Gulf of California in Mexico cannot meet the rapid deployment of troops and follow-up material transportation after the landing, and it will take about 30 days to arrange for 20 divisions to go to Guaymas, and this efficiency can be imagined.

So you will choose to take the fire, directly attack and take Los Angeles to get a deep-water port, to put it bluntly, it is still limited by the level of infrastructure in this era, to use a simple analogy, even if you are given a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier that will be strong in the future, you can guarantee to conquer the world? Just how to replenish aviation fuel is enough to keep you busy.

In fact, the advantages of equipment are all smashed by logistics.

Taking the existing Kunpeng bomber as an example, the whole world must look up in terms of performance, but in order to fly to the west coast, it is first necessary to fill the bomb magazine with oil tanks, and it is also necessary to build an airstrip in advance, and then wait there for the transport ship to transport special aviation gasoline and bombs to ensure their use, and as for attack planes and fighters, it is not enough to fly one way with full auxiliary fuel tanks.

Army armored divisions are delicate to death and need constant maintenance, soldiers are fine, but the Americans will leave you food?

This requires transportation, so controlling a deep-water terminal with a high throughput is critical. What's more, on the entire west coast of North America, there are only a handful of deep-water ports with large corps, and three of the United States are in California.

Moreover, the naval superiority cannot be brought ashore, although Li Mo is very confident in sending the troops up, but once the troops are deeply unfolded and the air force is temporarily unable to support, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to rely on the short-legged naval aviation to conquer the world, so the follow-up will still depend on the army and the air force.

You must know that in order to attack the United States, the Air Force has prepared four divisions, thousands of bombers / attack aircraft, and hundreds of fighters, but the problem is that they are not needed now.

In addition to landing, how long it will take to take Los Angeles and how many living forces in the United States can take the opportunity are also crucial, in the final analysis, it is still a distance.

"Distance!" Li Mo sighed, it would be nice if there was a b52, and the whole United States would be directly covered from Hawaii.

"Mr. Li, you will ask Adel and Feng Ru later, and then urge Tang Xiao, how is the four-shot bomber?" Emperor Li gritted his teeth and left, leaving Li Enfu and Chen Ping, who were facing each other.

"Yuanshou, can a four-engine bomber bomb the United States directly from Hawaii?"

The chief of the general staff spread out his hands, shook his head with a wry smile: "The emperor is not worried about what will happen after he goes ashore. ”
