Chapter 583 Accident

There is no word to describe the mood of Tony and others when they saw the goddess being broken, trampled and ** by cannonballs at that moment.

On the small island of freedom, mushroom-like clouds rose up, the flames of hell climbed on the steel, burning fiercely, and the bronze shell began to peel off. The tall statue of the goddess had become a cannonball magnet.

In the trembling roar, the earth was trembling and the sea was boiling. Countless New Yorkers rubbed their eyes, yawned, pushed open the windows, walked to the street, and climbed high.

When the eyes were finally locked on the thick black smoke hundreds of meters high, everyone opened their mouths. Their bodies were stiff and dull. Everyone saw that the head of the Statue of Liberty, representing freedom, majestic, and the spirit of the United States had disappeared. Her clothes were torn to pieces, and her body was full of holes, and the devil was attached to the steel. The fire on the iron bracket rose from everywhere, and the sea breeze fueled the devil's breath and gradually formed a huge fire mass!

If this scene takes place in the land of China, or it will be described as Phoenix Nirvana, but this is New York. It is a country that has just been founded, and even the concept of a country has just begun. It has no pride and background of a big country, and is called an upstart by the world!

This is a purely immigrant country. Rich resources make them rich overnight, and their unique geographical advantages are basically not threatened, so they have gradually become fertile soil. But today, shells and flames make dreams and wealth begin to collapse.

When ten minutes later, the flame that seemed to never go out finally softened the steel skeleton, and the whole bronze statue of the goddess who suddenly lost its support suddenly collapsed, and the American sky darkened in an instant.

At that moment, what fell was not just a bronze statue, but a belief, an ideal, and a prosperous and beautiful American dream!

"God!"

Countless New Yorkers covered their mouths at that moment. Everyone couldn't believe what they saw, but the huge fireballs and thick smoke rising in New York Bay clearly told everyone that the United States was no longer an isolated island, and the war had come to the east coast like a paradise!

Fear and panic spread all over the body along the back in the blink of an eye, and cold sweat dripping down the temples, but the two gunmen 40 kilometers away were not satisfied. It seemed that the dark sky in the distance was still too small!

"Ten degrees left, maximum angle, extended shooting!"

"Fire quickly!"

Li Xiuyan's cold eyes were very similar to the nickname he had just obtained. After using six rounds to completely destroy the big bronze statue that hated hypocrisy, he was not satisfied and left immediately, because the famous Manhattan Island was only five kilometers away from Liberty Island, and his cannonballs could hit 48 kilometers.

The three-kilometer extension distance can be ignored elsewhere, but it is fatal for Manhattan Island, which is geographically narrow and densely populated!

The naval gun, up to the maximum angle, the fully-loaded barrel roared and hit the 750 kg bottom exhaust range bomb. When the fireball began to explode from the edge of Manhattan Island, the explosion extended inland along the edge of Manhattan Island, and even the place less than two kilometers next to the famous New York Stock Exchange rose hugely. After the fire, even Thomas was shocked!

God, did that guy's fleet rush into New York Bay?

Don't they want to live?!

Thomas can't imagine, even later the United States and the whole world can't imagine that Manhattan Island is 45 kilometers away from the Verrazzano Strait. How did the enemy's shells hit?!

Thomas hurried into the basement. He didn't want to be killed by the madman's shell, but he clearly knew that as the heart of the American economy, even a shell would have a very terrible impact.

The shells were still falling, and the explosions sounded from all over Manhattan Island. The flames generated by the explosion almost killed New York. In just 20 rounds, 360 bottom exhaust expansion bombs took only half an hour from the shelling to the end. When the 31st Fleet began to turn the muzzle, it aimed at only 2 recently. At 0 kilometers of Long Island, a bigger disaster occurred.

Although ordinary high-explosive bombs can't be hit so far, they are not as powerful as their companions, especially in Brooklyn, where there are many factories.

An unprecedented destruction began. Rows of neat houses were easily pushed to the egg shells, and the New Yorkers who were still in shock seemed to have turned into rag dolls in the sea of fire.

Every shell falls, and the area of nearly 3,000 square meters will be completely destroyed. The plain road used to be more potholed than the Grand Canyon. The high chimneys of the factory fell rapidly, and the factories were uprooted. The huge Brooklyn shipyard became the focus of attention.

The alarm began to sound from every corner of New York. Several seaplanes in the only military port began to turn the propellers, but before the pilots pulled up the plane, the two ospreys who had completed the task roared down and left them on the water with four 7.62 mm machine guns in the nose.

When Meng Xiaodong and his wingman swept through the seaplane dock five times, a total of 12 U.S. Navy seaplanes were all damaged, so that half an hour after the departure of the 31st Fleet, there was no sign of them on the surface of New York.

After the shells moved to Long Island, Aniston breathed a sigh of relief. When everyone slowly straightened up, walked out of the cabin and re-boarded the deck, there was already a hellish scene around.

The spectacular Statue of Liberty has disappeared. The sky on Manhattan Island is shrouded in gunpowder smoke. The fire continues to spread to the prosperity of the island like flowing magma. At this time, there is a violent explosion from the sky on the long island from time to time, and a huge mushroom-like cloud is blooming in the sky.

Two American patrol ships have disappeared, and the captains have forgotten that they are leading small boats of less than 500 tons, and they are going to maintain the last dignity of the United States.

Mr. Terek hugged the child tightly, looked at the black and burning goddess's thigh beside Liberty Island, and gently took his wife's trembling hands: "I think we should buy a boat ticket back."

He muttered to himself, but said the voices of 1,500 new immigrants.

Because the United States is no longer safe! ——

Standing on the deck and looking at the rising mushroom clouds in the distance, Li Zhen and his partners shouted to their heart's content. Every time the naval guns sounded, these young people would wave their fists. The United States finally paid the price for the sneak attack, and the imperial counterattack did not come to an end until now.

Inside the bridge, he looked at Li Zhen standing on the deck. Li Xiuyan subconsciously untied his collar and pulled it hard.

"How many more shells are there?"

Although I can't see the scene of the Statue of Liberty and Manhattan, the scene of the sky on the long island close by the death is still made the magma in everyone's heart rush to their throats. What's more, after every cannon, there will be deafening cheers from outside. As a fleet commander, he You need to keep calm at this time.

"There are still 15 rounds left."

"It's too late." Li Xiuyan looked at his watch. It has been 59 minutes since the first shell was fired. It is only about 40 kilometers from the New York Bay Military Port. Even if the soldiers are resting, it takes about 20 minutes to make a fire. That is to say, if the reaction is timely, the first torpedo boat should be coming soon.

In fact, Li Xiuyan later learned that the first warship that sailed from the dock did not arrive at the bay until two hours later, when the 31st Fleet had accelerated to 25 knots and had left for two hours.

However, as a commander, he will never gamble in the dangerous waters, so the fleet can't be fixed here to shell. After all, this is New York, the heart of the enemy. Once there are too many fast small warships, they are still threatening enough.

"Contact Meng Xiaodong to continue to monitor the sky, with a left rudder of 10 degrees."

In the middle of Li Xiuyan's words, the communications officer put down the phone and looked to the right and shouted, "Three o'clock, two American torpedo ships!"

Before Li Xiuyan and the officers squeezed to the right, the rapid-fire gun on the deck had already fired. The inability to participate in the long-range shelling made these gunners feel uncomfortable as if they had been thrown into the ant's nest. Now two enemy ships finally appeared, and the shells suddenly smashed head-on.

Two patrol ships close to the coastline and passing by the Aniston wanted to use the tortuous and complex environment to attack the devil with torpedoes, but they didn't expect to encounter crazy gunfire as soon as they poked their heads out. More than 40 rapid-fire guns with a caliber of more than 130 mm, two small patrol fish The thundership could withstand it, so before Jack could see the warship in the distance, a fire began to ignite on the deck and he had to jump into the sea with John Ford to escape.

The appearance of two patrol torpedo ships seems to remind everyone that this is still the heart of the United States, so Li Xiuyan immediately ordered to increase the speed to 25 knots. As for the unused shells, they would shell freely when they went south along the east coast after safety.

As the Guam quickly deflected its bow and accelerated to 25 knots, the explosion on Long Island gradually subsided, and the smoke columns that began to spread spread around, and the whole New York was shrouded in "dark clouds".

"Captain, 11 o'clock!"

20 minutes later, the communications officer warned again that only a cruise ship slowly appeared on the sea on the left in front of it. It did not seem to see the smoke over New York, and it was still sailing slowly to the port of New York.

"What ship?"

"It's not a warship, it's a cruise ship." After the staff officer was finished, he asked, "Captain, do you want to sink it?"

"Forget it?"

Li Xiuyan shook his head. If it was a warship or even a cargo ship, he would order fire, but the cruise ship was no longer necessary. New York had given the other side a heavy stick. In less than a year and a half, the United States could not recover, but if it continued to attack the cruise ship with no power to fight back after completing the task, it would be a massacre.

What's more, the biggest stone in my heart fell to the ground. At this time, there is no need to make an extra branch. In fact, both the captain and commander will make this choice. For the 31st Fleet, what should be done at this time is to escape desperately.

But no one thought that it was this decision that brought serious consequences!

After the shelling, the fleet began to accelerate again, which immediately made the deck wind strong again. Li Zhen and his companions walked to the port side. While preparing to return to the cabin, they talked about the freshness of the shell just now, and the young and cheerful laughter kept coming from them.

"Ha ha, and death." A young second lieutenant pointed to the cruise ship that was about to pass in front of him and said with a smile, "Do you think that if they enter New York Bay and find that the old nest has been smashed by us, will they be scared to cry?"

"That's need to say."

Seeing the approaching cruise ship, Li Zhen frowned gently. It was reasonable that the cruise ship should have seen the 31 Fleet. Did they mistakenly think it was the U.S. fleet?

This is possible. After all, the recognizable signs on the deck have been removed at this moment, but the problem is that the explosion just now should have been heard, right?

And, there always seems to be something wrong? Where the hell is it?

The extremely excited deck and sailors were talking about the shelling just now. In addition, it was an obvious cruise ship, so everyone didn't pay much attention to it, and the lookout's attention was all focused on the east coast of the United States.

While thinking about what was wrong, a partner next to him happened to laugh and said, "Do you think that when the people on this cruise ship arrive in New York, they will immediately buy tickets to go back?"

The words made Li Zhen open the corners of his mouth slightly, because this was exactly what his father wanted to achieve, but the word "person" in the sentence suddenly flashed in his mind!

There is no one on the deck of the cruise ship opposite!

The pupil contracted violently into a cold star, and the heart involuntarily jumped up. This is extremely abnormal. Even if it is mistakenly recognized, even if you don't hear the explosion or see the smoke, but when you encounter a warship again, especially such a huge battleship, there will be no one on the deck watching!

"Enemy ship!"

"This is a camouflage ship!"

Li Zhen suddenly squeezed away his partner and shouted while running. His behavior immediately attracted everyone's attention. Now everyone knew that he was the eldest prince. Seeing him pointing to the cruise ship and shouting desperately, many people were dumbfounded.

"Is this the role of the eldest prince?" Lao Jiu, who was sitting in the gun position, glanced at Li Zhen and then looked at the Dongzi beside him. The barrel under his hand subconsciously moved to the cruise ship that was passing by about 5,000 meters away.

Before Dongzi could speak, the dark shadow flashed in the corners of Lao Jiu's eyes. When he turned his head, he only saw two snow-white torpedo tracks suddenly rushed out of the cruise ship and stabbed the Guam like a sharp sword!

When Lao Jiu suddenly pulled off the bolt, two fire snakes had spit out on the deck. He only saw that Li Zhen had run to the machine gun, carrying the bracket of the double venomous snake machine gun on his shoulder, and began to sweep the looming torpedo.

Sudden gunfire made the Guam explode. Li Xiuyan suddenly raised his head from the chart table and before he could reach the porthole. On the side of the cruise ship, which was considered harmless by everyone, suddenly cracked a black hole in the hatch, and then a barrel stretched out from it.

"The dog said!"

Lao Jiu aimed all four 37mm fast-fire guns at the torpedoes.

The Guam began to evade rapidly, the triple main turret began to rotate, and the muzzle of the secondary gun began to move down. When more rapid-fire guns and machine guns also joined the chorus, countless water points splashed in front of the two torpedoes as if it were raining.

Li Zhen pulled the trigger tightly, and his eyes were tightly locked on the soaring torpedo. When the long black body under the double-pipe machine gun suddenly turned into a flame in his eyes, another flame suddenly exploded from the afterglow.

"Li Zhen!"

Before he could turn his head to see who was calling him, Li Zhen felt as if his body had been pushed by something. The hot and hot suddenly rushed into the bone marrow, and then the world became chaotic.

"Two points, enemy aircraft, a large group!"
