Tune the Pacific

Chapter 610 Wanli Iron Pliers 3

"Fack!"

"Don't stop, rush up!"

Behind the four M3 cheetah tanks, Major Nakata held up the command knife and his eyes turned red. The Japanese soldiers of the brigade were arranged into a scattered line, covered by tanks and trees, and rushed to the U.S. military position 100 meters away.

Boom.

While the two shells exploded around the tank, the four turrets also quickly turned around. The thangdong machine guns and machine guns were hissing together, and a large bare hole was made in the jungle in an explosion. Such a dense rain of bullets scared the American soldiers, and many people even huddled in the trenches and dared not look up.

Seeing that the U.S. military was suppressed in the position, Major Nakata held his knife and rushed to the U.S. military crazily. A large number of Japanese soldiers behind him also charged against the rain of bullets. The strange and difficult howl scared the U.S.S. machine gunner Don Sassen. He had never seen such a crazy soldier and did not understand his side. There are deep trenches and so many machine guns. Why do these enemies dare to launch a charge?

Seeing that the ferocious face of the soldier was getting closer and closer, he quickly pointed the M1914 Lewis 7.7mm machine gun that had just been fired at the terrible enemy. In the spitting shot, several nearby soldiers were immediately beaten into a sieve.

But before Donaldson had time to be proud, a silver-white bayonet stabbed in an oblique stab scared him. He subconsciously blocked it with a machine gun. Before blocking this side, a cold light flashed next to him. Suddenly, he felt a cold in his chest, and his whole consciousness began to dissipate slowly.

After solving the American machine gunner, Nakata immediately picked up the Lewis machine gun he left behind and shouted, "Along the trench, use a grenade!"

Compared with American soldiers who have never experienced war, Nakata, who has served in North Korea, has more experience. He understands that the trench is a double-edged sword, which can play a good role in defense, but once it is broken through and let the enemy enter, it simply provides the best hunting place for the opponent.

Although the Lewis machine gun is heavy, it is precious to the Japanese First Division, which is seriously short of heavy weapons. What's more, Colonel Cai also said that non-major military trophy belongs to the captured troops, so Nakata held it all the way for hundreds of meters until there were no bullets in the machine gun.

Because the magazine of the Lewis machine gun is very strange, it is in the shape of a disk on the top of the machine gun, and it is also a little troublesome to change it. When Nakata finally figured out that it was replaced with a new magazine, this position has been completely broken through by his wing. There are scattered American corpses everywhere, mixed with blood, leaves and mud.

"Sajor."

But before he had time to rest, he saw thousands of U.S. troops in the distance who should have just come to support rushing to this side in a neat line under the command of a major. This scene, not to mention the Xinhua tank soldiers in the back, even the soldiers were dumbfounded. How many centuries is this?

"Would you like it?" In the tank, the loader licked his lips, installed a magazine and asked.

"There's no need to waste shells. I still can't even handle this kind of charge. I'd rather be scolded to death by the division commander than turn around immediately." The gunner shook his head and stretched out leisurely. Then he only saw that in the dense forest 100 meters ahead, Nakata United used the machine guns left by the American soldiers to quickly form a line of defense.

"This Nakata is quite good."

In the gunner's self-talk, the U.S. military, which was still using the standing group to charge during the Civil War, was suddenly hit. The experienced Nakata quickly organized four Lewis machine guns left by the U.S. military. The rainstorm-like bullets took less than three minutes to scare the U.S. troops to rush.

"Baga, go!" After cleaning up the enemy so easily, Nakata excitedly jumped out of the trench again, pulled out the command knife and began to organize the charge. The wild howling suddenly resounded through the whole rainforest. No one knew how long he had run, as if he had crossed a magic barrier. After taking a step forward, his eyes suddenly became cheerful.

I only saw that countless U.S. troops ran crazy along the edge of the rainforest to a small town thousands of meters away. Many people even dropped their guns, and the direction they ran was Elreal, a key town in the south of Panama.

The door is finally open!

Boom.

A shell rushed out of the city of Erreal, but for the soldiers who crossed the most difficult rainforest, this kind of attack was insignificant. After the tank battalion got rid of the difficult jungle, it rarely soared. 48 Cheetah 3 tanks became the real rainforest killer, chasing the fleeing U.S. military. He quickly killed the small town, and for a moment, the horn of the charge sounded all around Elreal.

A moment later, after the soldiers of the current front army entered Elreal, the whole town began to be shrouded in screams. According to the statistics after the incident, 20,000 residents of the whole town and 10,000 U.S. troops who did not have time to escape were almost slaughtered, so that the locals in Panama ran away when they heard the sound of the army and did not dare to resist at all.

In two hours, Cai E stepped on blood and walked into the strategic town with the headquarters. Although the smell of blood was a little scary, even if the Colombian officers didn't care, they had long hated the betrayed Panamanians, so even if the soldiers didn't do it, they wanted to take this opportunity to teach each other a good lesson.

"It is reported that our army has occupied Erreal, and the second bait has been put down." -

West of Panama, 4,000 nautical miles away, the Marshall Islands.

Two bumblebees are leisurely hovering around Tarawa Island, and the two landing ships on the sea below are slowly sailing to the main island of the Gilbert Islands, which has been blown up by light cruisers, under the protection of four destroyers.

"Shunzi, what do you mean above? Let's support the Marines, but I haven't even fired a single bullet except a few bombs thrown by the Third Squadron. Why don't you send us to the south? Why don't you just go and blow up Sydney? Zhang Ou sat in the cabin, looking at the calm sea, and nagging with the microphone.

"How do I know?" In the other bumblebee, Shunzi also has a flat mouth.

It is also puzzled that the two most powerful heavy aircraft carriers and the two most powerful fast battleships, after joining the First Fleet, their first mission was actually organized into 12 fleets, which were sent to protect the landing of the Marine Corps and capture the Gilbert Islands.

To be honest, Britain and the United States have built some fortifications on these islands. Some also have heavy artillery, but there are only a handful of them. Light cruisers alone are enough. What's more, there are two protected Jilin-class battleships. Sending the 12th Fleet is really useless.

"Do you want to use a small war mill to sharpen the gun?" Shunzi began to speculate about the meaning above. The corners of his eyes suddenly swept to the three black spots on the sea and immediately shouted, "Lao Wu, on the left."

Zhang Ou immediately looked to the left and saw three Short 184s flying low close to the sea, quickly approaching the landing fleet.

"Mom, you finally opened your eyes!" Before he could say hello to Shunzi, Zhang Ou, who was in a hurry, immediately shouted. The bumblebee roared and rushed down. For his "eating alone" behavior, Shunzi next to him cursed, "Lao Wu, you mother, wait for me!"

The roar above their heads scared the three Short 184s to spread out in a hurry, but they did not dare to pull them up. Instead, they continued to fly close to the sea at a low altitude, because now almost allied pilots know that the Xinhua plane is too powerful, so the more they rise, the faster they die.

But no matter how low it is, it is useless. The roaring cannon hit one Short 184 into a ball of fire in the blink of an eye. Although the other one tried its best to run around, it only lasted for three minutes and was broken by the machine gun bullets that kept stirring up the water column.

When Shunzi pulled up the plane again, when he saw Zhang Ou rushing to the last Short 184 seaplane, he immediately shouted and reminded, "Lao Wu, don't forget the order!" Zhang Ou, who had put his finger on the trigger, was stunned when he heard it. He remembered the order at the time of departure, so he had to let go of the trigger and slow down and kept pretending to chase behind.

Two hornets chased the last Short 184 like flowers and butterflies. When several huge figures appeared on the sea level ten minutes later, the Short 184 probably saw the savior, which was faster than just escaped.

"Report, the third reconnaissance team reported that there are four British cruisers and a seaplane carrier 80 kilometers southwest." In the bridge of the Xiqin, the staff officer excitedly clenched his fists and waved his arms fiercely. Even the other officers around him were excited and looked at Chen Jiliang by the porthole, because it meant that the 12th Fleet was about to leave.

After becoming famous from the Hormuz Strait, Chen Jiliang did not become the captain of the battleship like Li Xiuyan and Chen Shaokuan, but after being a staff officer for several years, he returned to the military academy with Yang Feng to study aviation. Unexpectedly, after the new generation of Western Qin-class heavy aircraft carrier was launched, he would be appointed as the captain of the ship.

You should know that nowadays, the captains of aircraft carriers are about to squeeze their heads. Especially after the turban fleet fought in the Indian Ocean, they are even more envious of many naval officers. Unfortunately, if you want to become an aircraft carrier commander, in addition to having rich maritime experience, you also need to learn special aviation theory, so he and Yang Feng undoubtedly accounted for it. A first move.

"In the wind, at full speed."

"Take off immediately, no, send six torpedo fleets!" With almost no delay, Chen Jiliang issued an offensive order, but this order made the flight official Lan dumbfounded.

"six!" This beautiful-looking former Xizhou aviation staff officer with a baby face, a former North African eagle, and the ace pilot is a little confused about the order. The Western Qin class is not Yin Shang class. It is a heavy aircraft carrier. Each torpedo wing has 13 new generation of all-metal dragon tooth ship torpedoes/bombing that have completed weight reduction. Six of them are 78! This is enough to solve a fleet with battleships. Are four cruisers and a tattered seaplane carrier worth so much fun?

In the face of confusion and confusion, Chen Jiliang smiled and said, "Fang Lan, do you really think Commander Ji will be stupid enough to send our two heavy aircraft carriers and two Guam-class battleships out, that is, to support the landing battle that can only be completed by light cruisers?"

"Captain, what do you mean?" Fang Lan was about to ask clearly when he was suddenly interrupted by the staff behind him: "Report, after receiving the Panamanian telegram, the third Marine Division had taken Elreal two hours ago, killing more than 16,000 American soldiers, captured 110 cannons, 80 machine guns, and the forward battalion was advancing deep into Panama."

Chen Jiliang took the telegram. After looking at it twice, his face was full of excitement. He patted Fang Lan on the shoulder: "Let's go. Don't delay any longer. After finishing this ticket, we're leaving!"

"Yes." Fang Lan nodded, as if he had caught something, but he couldn't see it clearly, so he had to solve the enemy in front of him first.

Brand-new Longya carrier torpedoes/bombers roared out of the decks of Xiqin and Dongqi. If there are future military fans here at this time, they must have shouted the word "Essex-class" when they see these two Western Qin-class heavy aircraft carriers.

Yes.

The Western Qin-class heavy aircraft carrier is completely designed by Li Mo according to the famous Essex-class size and shape of later generations. The combat capability is definitely not up, because the aircraft is not comparable. However, for Emperor Li, who has always been high-level, the displacement and size are at least close, so it looks like 70%, and the standard displacement 26,500 tons, full load displacement of 33,000 tons, maximum speed of 30 knots, endurance of 15 knots, 12,000 nautical miles, 20 knots / 8500 nautical miles.

In terms of protection, we have also done a lot of work. It adopts a three-layer bottom and a small watertight cabin design. The torpedo resistance meets the standard of Shanghai-class fast battleships. The flight deck uses a modular assembled armored deck, which can resist the direct penetration of 150 kg armor-piercing bullets. It is equipped with 8 double 130 high-level dual-purpose rapid-fire guns. 12 quadruple 37mm machine guns, 12 double 25mm machine guns, 18 double 12.7mm machine guns.

For aircraft carriers, the speed and efficiency of aircraft deployment are life. In this regard, the Xiqin class has readjusted the layout of the hangar and ammunition compartment for the Yin Shang class, and installed three high-power lifts, one before and after the starboard island, and one at the protruding part of the port edge, so as not to affect the complete surname of the flight deck, and it is large. Increase the speed of movement.

There are five of the first batch of Xiqin-class heavy aircraft carriers, each with 84 airborne aircraft. According to the plan, there are 24 bumblebees, 20 Longya torpedo/bombers, 32 night owl attack aircraft, 6 standby aircraft and 2 hummingbird reconnaissance/rescue aircraft. Because the carrier-based attack aircraft are still being tested, they are currently loaded. They are all bumblebees and dragon teeth.

"Notify the supply ship that the supply will start at 8 o'clock tonight, and the radio will be silent at the same time." Half an hour later, when 78 dragon teeth formed a huge triangular arrow in the sky, Chen Jiliang suddenly turned around: "Send, the third bait has been put down."

Hearing this sentence, all the officers, including Fang Lan, shrank their pupils and their hearts beat violently. They realized that this time the 12th Fleet came to the Marshall Islands may be a cover!

There must be another big action!
