Tune the Pacific

Chapter 722 Night Xiaokong 3

"Come on, come and help."

"Damn it, bring me the leather tube."

"Medical officer, I need a medical officer!"

Hugh Rodman stepped on his hurried footsteps, listened to the rapid shouts around him, and walked to his battleship New York with a solemn face. As the captain, when he took over the battleship, he dreamed of crossing the Atlantic with it and showing the power of the United States to the whole Europe.

But soon, everything changed.

A war broke out in Europe. The damn Germans burned the war into France through Belgium in a few days, followed by Britain, Russia, Austria-Hungary and so on.

When the world thought that the war would end in a few months, the rapid fall of Paris plunged the Ally countries into panic and had to turn to the United States. The president and parliament, which were afraid that Germany would grow up against the interests of the United States and Europe, passed a declaration of war.

The United States has also been involved.

Warships and teams of soldiers began to be assembled from all over the country, but the United States still did not dare to go all out to fight against Europe, because there was a terrible potential opponent in the Pacific Ocean.

So the United States decided to defend Australia with Britain, trying to lengthen the battlefield infinitely and delay the attention from the East, trying to make him feel that he could not ensure the security of the southwest Pacific and dare not join the alliance, but no one expected that a war broke out between the two sides in the end.

If there must be a war between Xinhua and the United States because both sides have a great interest in the Pacific Ocean, what happened later is almost a nightmare for the United States.

Less than three days into the war, the mobile fleet led by Lieutenant General Clarkston was completely destroyed, and eight capital ships that were thought they could be proud of the Pacific Ocean were sunk and destroyed.

Then, the Statue of Liberty collapsed in the sky, and even Wall Street was almost destroyed by the fire.

Then the Indian Ocean tightened, sending four capital ships and four cruisers to support the Allied Indian fleet. After Australia tightening, it sent warships to support Australia. Then the naval battle of the Cologne Islands was lost again.

And the most tragic thing is undoubtedly the Gulf of Panama Sea Battle. All the powerful sea and air forces of the Chinese people broke out. The main force of the Pacific Fleet is 4 Nevada-class, 2 New York-class, 2 Florida-class, 2 Wyoming-class, 5 Virginia-class old-fashioned battleships, 2 Pensacora-class heavy cruisers, and 4 Brooklyn-class light cruisers, 4 Omaha-class light cruisers, 6 Denver-class protected cruisers and 15 other cruisers and destroyers, almost all of them sank in the sunset!

What's more shameful is that the two Nevada-class ships were finally captured and repaired and given to Japan and North Korea not long ago!

At that time, the whole country of the United States mourned.

In order to save the Pacific Fleet, which had only six old Connecticut-class battleships left, he urgently returned from Britain and led two New York-class and two Florida-class battleships of the Atlantic Fleet to support the Pacific.

But when they just passed, the Panaman waterway became precarious because Xinhua pulled three South American countries to form a South American fleet. Although nearly 10 light cruisers came one after another over the past year, and the shipyard on the west coast also built many destroyers and submarines, in the face of the blockade of the Chinese navy, It is becoming more and more powerless in the continuous blockade and [***] strangulation war.

In the case that the capital ship could not come over, the navy finally had to choose to protect the ship to avoid the battle and no longer let the capital ship go to sea, hoping to wait until the subsequent main force under construction arrived to seek a decisive battle.

But no one expected that the naval battle of the Three Kings Islands of New Zealand tried to jump out of Australia's inability to move, and the Australian Grand Fleet to New Zealand was completely destroyed. In addition to once again verifying the arrival of the era of naval aviation, it also allowed Li Mo to calmly free his hand and finally captured Panama.

The control of the canal has changed hands!

Within a year, nearly 30 new and old capital ships were sunk by the Xinhua Navy, which rose strongly and mastered the absolute advantage in the air, with a total tonnage of 2 million tons! No matter how strong the manufacturing capacity of the United States is, it is impossible to supplement it. What's more, Britain must deal with the same covetous Germany, and France is even about to collapse its industrial base.

In fact, after Panama was cut off, the United States had no way out. Many generals, including him, knew that the technological advantages of the Chinese were enough to ensure that they could dominate the Pacific Ocean and even the Indian Ocean without worry, but the United States must continue to fight.

This is no longer about war, and it's damn politics!

The tragedy around him makes Hugh Rodman's teeth itchy, because the Allies are preparing to launch the Battle of Paris, intending to completely defeat Germany to save the defeat. It requires the United States to take advantage of the long difficulties of the Chinese supply line and delay for a period of time, waiting for Germany to vacate after the defeat.

But the question is, how long can the United States last? How long will it take to defeat Germany?

No one knows!

"Yours, sir."

"General."

Major Rodman boarded his New York. The scene around him almost couldn't believe his eyes. He only saw that the deck was already in a mess. Several secondary cannons collapsed obliquely, the tall cage mast behind him was cut in half, and the chimney collapsed.

If the other party hadn't used a high-explosive bomb, he believed that the New York had sunk and could not be restored to use.

Hundreds of sailors are busy fighting fires to save people, and sporadic explosions are still coming one after another. Fortunately, they are not the enemy's shells, but some gas cans and small shells scattered outside.

Rodemon quickly climbed onto the top platform of the higher bridge. After a glance, his whole back seemed to be twitched. San Diego, which used to be beautiful and neat, had turned into hell. No, even hell could not see such a painful situation.

Several soldiers removed the bricks and lifted an unfortunate guy out. His feet and lower limbs had been torn waist-length, and his blood and intestines drooped to the ground, bringing a long blood stain.

There was another soldier who jumped into the sea from the dock with a fire. Although the turbid sea helped him put out the flames, he still couldn't survive. He only showed his scorched black and slowly sank to the bottom of the water.

Maybe in a few days, the body will slowly float and be found, but was San Diego still there at that time?

Rodman sighed and looked at the Chinese reconnaissance aircraft hovering high in the air. There was a frightening anger in his eyes, but the frustration that he could only look at the other party's hovering was even more uncomfortable for him and everyone to die.

"General, Lieutenant General Carr's phone call."

The telephone line from the dock to the bridge was finally not broken. As soon as Rodman picked up the phone, he heard Carl's nervous voice in the microphone.

"Hyo, how's the fleet going?"

"It's not bad. Only three ships sank, and the rest didn't suffer much damage."

"Great, Hugh, send a destroyer immediately to use the minefield as cover. Don't give the enemy a chance to launch a second shelling. In addition, you should be careful." The staff officer nervously pulled La Rodman's sleeve and looked up. There was a large moving "dark cloud" in the distance of the bay, and the last voice came from the phone. Be careful of the enemy's aircraft. They will definitely launch a second wave of bombing. The loss of fixed air defense positions is very serious, so I need the anti-aircraft fire support of the fleet. I will send aircraft to support you.

"Airplane? Do we have a plane? Rodman stared at the group in a moment, and then smiled bitterly at the corners of his mouth and said to the phone, "They have come."

"Mt. Gen., I will do my best." Rodman put down the phone and took a deep breath: "Flag, for the sake of the United States, order all usable anti-aircraft guns and machine guns to be in place immediately. San Diego needs us to defend the sky!"

The dense shells rushed to the sky from the ruins again, but compared with the previous intensity, it was more than a little bit worse.

Sitting in the cockpit, the tragedy on the ground is not as pitiful as Jin Wei. This is war. When the United States wants to challenge the empire, it should know this result, so he is more concerned about where the New York is.

There are not many U.S. capital ships operating in the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The strongest are the two Pennsylvania-class battleships and two Northampton-class heavy cruisers in the Indian Grand Fleet, followed by the two New York-class and two Florida-class battleships transferred from the original Atlantic Fleet.

The situation of the Indian Grand Fleet is much worse than that of San Diego. It has been unable to obtain supplies for half a year, and there is only one shelf left for the Grand Fleet that lacks heavy industrial maintenance. In addition, Ceylon, Socotra Island, the Strait of Hormuz and Djibouti have been occupied one after another, and it is almost impossible to go to sea, and even evacuated to Madagascar. There are problems, because the original British naval Gan Island base in the Maldives has been occupied by the empire. After a Kunpeng bomber fleet is stationed, the aircraft reconnaissance and combat radius can cover half of the Indian Ocean, so the navy is not in a hurry to eat that piece of fat.

The strongest one left is the New York class.

As a naval aviation soldier, after changing into the latest night owl dive attack aircraft, he has always thought of these two main battleships. Sinking the enemy's capital ships is undoubtedly the highest dream of the Dragon Wing. As for the ground attack, in everyone's opinion, it belongs to the "sideline".

The anti-aircraft shell exploded around the plane, making people feel as if they were crossing through the smoke ball. In addition, the first shelling formation obviously did too hard! It makes the ground dusty and smoky, and it really feels like I can't find the north.

Suddenly, a series of dense shells rose from the ground in the distance, far more dense than when they just passed the seawall. Is it a hidden large air defense position? Jin Wei quickly turned his head and looked at it. If it was a large air defense position, he really wanted to give up the target. After all, the important surname of destroying the air defense position was bigger than that of the warship, but when he saw the target behind the smoke clearly, he suddenly shouted excitedly.

In the smoke, four huge figures lay on the water. The gray lightning levees around them were like the King Kong circle of the emperor, trapping themselves in the center. In the distance, six Connecticut-class battleships and several cruisers also slowly appeared, and the most dense anti-aircraft fire. They officially played it together.

I found them!

"On the left." After Jin Wei shouted at the microphone, he suddenly pushed the pole and rushed to the first big guy with a five-seat double-loaded 356mm naval gun, half of the rear mast collapsed.

Hugh Rodman obviously didn't expect that his decision to order the fleet to fire at full force and hold up an anti-aircraft parachute for the base actually sounded the death knell for the fleet!

What's more, if there is no lightning levee, if the warship can move, it may be able to save a few, but because it is too worried about the dragon tooth torpedo aircraft, the fleet missed the last chance.

The nose began to fall little by little. Sitting in the cockpit, Jin Wei didn't seem to see the bursting smoke around him. When the hull was pressed into a scaled circle in the front windshield, his big hand suddenly pushed the pole.

"Ji Jie."

The air entered the curved loudener along the wing root. When passing through the special reed, it made a creepy whistling sound, which suddenly sounded all over the harbor.

"God, what's the sound!"

"Fire, fire!"

"Don't cover your ears!"

"What is he going to do? Is it out of control?"

"Hide, hide, he's going to bump into us!"

"Ji Jie."

Jin Wei doesn't know whether the Americans know the Oriental Night owl, and whether they know ghosts or not, but one thing is very clear. Countless eyes on the ground converge on this strange fighter plane that dives at a large angle. The sound that is getting louder and louder and cold all over the body is as difficult as gold and iron friction. To put up with it.

Ye Xiao is a legendary creature with wings, but it can't fly far away. It is very cunning. It can always set up traps to fool its prey and throw itself into the net. Moreover, Ye Xiao is quite cruel to the enemy. He will tear up the prey before eating it. It is equally cruel to himself. If the legendary beast catcher clamps its feet, You will bite your own claws and get out!

The new metal night owl is also cunning, more similar to the way of the zenith attack of later generations, which caught the rapid-fire gunners in the fleet off guard. Before today, all their training was aimed at torpedo planes from low altitude, but now in the face of the overhead attack, they find that the cannon angle is not enough at all!

In fact, not to mention them, even in the previous confrontation exercise, Xinhua's own cruiser thought that the elevation of 75° was not enough. The designer was considering increasing, not to mention the lack of experience. He thought it was the U.S. military that fell out of control.

More and more soldiers began to cover their ears. Many people even forgot to escape. They stared at the fighter's dive down at an angle of 70°. As the large deceleration plate opened, they seemed to see a fish eagle soaring in the sky in a trance and found the target flapping its wings and rushing down!

The deck is getting bigger and bigger in the windshiel, and the longitudinal poles begin to become stiff and heavy. Almost all the gyroscopes on the dashboard have turned red, and the scale is constantly sinking.

When a red line appeared on the scale, only the huge figure of New York was left in Jin Wei's eyes. The trigger was suddenly pulled down. After the 250mm aviation armor-piercing bullet gained acceleration, it was almost vertical like a sharp sword.

"Get up, get up!"

In the cockpit, in the face of the sudden light night owl, Jin Wei used all his strength and pulled the vertical pole back with both hands. Seeing that he was about to rub the mast, the stiff action bucket that seemed to be solidified finally reacted. The flaps began to deflect little by little, and the fuselage finally began to flatten slowly. Finally, it seemed to be something on the nose. After holding something for a while, it regained its lightness and suddenly rose to the sky.

When the blue sky reappeared in the field of vision, Jin Wei finally relaxed and found that his whole back was soaked, and his eyes seemed to be blurred.

This feeling appeared during training. Although he was sad and wanted to vomit, he knew that it meant that he had completed the attack, so he quickly turned his head to look at it regardless of his sight.

Major General Rodman and the soldiers stared at the night owl drawing a U, from diving to climbing, and then a black spot rushed into sight. Like Spruence, who understood at the last moment, he also wanted to shout, but somehow his throat seemed to be closed by something.

Although it was only a 250 kg armor-piercing shell, the thin 76mm horizontal armor could not be prevented at all. After a huge impact sound, the bomb tore the steel plate and kept drilling down. It was not until the New York was salvaged that the bomb drilled in the middle of turrets 4 and 4 on the back deck of the New York. And it was not until the explosion occurred all the way to the bottom cabin.

The closed hull contributed to the explosive power, and layers of steel plates were torn. When the air mass rushed out of the deck to form a huge fireball, the whole warship seemed to shiver, and then everyone seemed to be thrown up, including Rodman, and the deck was crooked.

"I hit it!"

"Fam it!"

"Attack, one by one, don't block the airspace."

"Team Two, Connecticut!"

"Florida, that's mine!"

"Kill!"

The captain's first success greatly stimulated the confidence of the dragon wings. The communication channel was filled with calls and shouts. Night owls dived towards their respective targets. The harsh chirping roars resounded through the world. Countless American soldiers covered their ears and ran away. Even many years later, they As long as some people hear similar sounds, they will tremble all over.

"Illinois, I hit the Illinois!" In the excited shout, the bow of the third Florida-class battleship Illinois exploded a fireball dozens of meters high. Before the third night owl entered the dive channel, the battleship with a displacement of 23,000 suddenly jumped from the water and then fell to the surface of the water fiercely.

The ammunition depot exploded!

One after another, there was nothing they could do in the face of the night owl American sailors who attacked from above their heads. Some of them simply took off the Lewis 7.7mm machine gun and opened fire on the top of their heads, but the ubiquitous harsh screams made it impossible to concentrate.

Explosion, or explosion.

New York hit 3, Texas 5, Illinois 2, Kentucky 4, Connecticut.

One warship after another exploded and caught fire in the dive. When the first wave of 52 night owls completed the attack, leaving at a slight cost of only 5 injured and losing one (abandonment on the way back), the second wave of night owls immediately appeared in the sky, and the San Diego Harbor, which had just been **d by shells, was over. It was all covered with explosions and terrible, heartbreaking, ghostly and terrible screams, and the whole United States began to tremble with the first large-scale appearance of the night owl!

Night owl.

Songkong!
