Chapter 724 Login 1

11 a.m., Baja California Peninsula, Mexico, 30 kilometers south of Tijuana.

"Boom, rumble." The dull explosion like a drought and thunder kept echoing over Ensena Dar, and the empty and flat beach was filled with smoke.

The U.S. soldiers who crossed the border from San Diego in advance and were ready to drive their opponents back to the sea in advance suddenly found that this was a deadly and unattainable goal. Without the support of the naval fleet and the situation of mines, for these recruits who have not yet experienced war and death, the warships on the sea are actually It's terrible. Even the smallest destroyer, the 130mm gun can't be resisted by the army.

So everyone lay in the trenches one after another, and no one dared to look up. There were only endless explosions and wailings left in the small Ensenard fishing village.

There was no counterattack, no shouting, but the Chinese people's various caliber shells were still unwilling to let go of every inch of land like raindrops. The trench that had just been dug for two days was already dilapidated. The splashed mud and sand came to their faces, making the steel helmet jingle, and the gale after the shell exploded was even more uncomfortable.

"Luke, Luke!"

In the bunker of the temporary headquarters, Major Evan shouted at his correspondent: "How long will it take for the 45th Division to arrive?"

"Sir, they were stopped by naval guns and planes. They are still 20 kilometers away from us!"

"Shit, send a telegram to tell them that if we don't come again, we will all be torn to pieces by naval guns!" Hearing that the reinforcements were still 20 kilometers away, Major Evan's eyes were congested. Just as he smashed a kettle to the ground angrily, the guards behind him suddenly shouted.

"Cannonball!"

"Boom."

A 12-inch large-caliber shell landed not far away, and the earth seemed to tremble. The air waves roared over everyone's heads. The bunker was suddenly filled with smoke and dust, and I couldn't see my fingers.

"Is everything all right? Is everyone all right?" Major Evan shouted loudly. After hearing everyone's answer that it was okay, he rushed to the observation window and raised the telescope.

On the sea, dozens of warships flashed, and the eight capital ships in the center were even more powerful, especially the last two, which made him bite his teeth.

Because his good friend served in the Admiralty, he knew the two battleships, which were once the pride of the United States, the Nevada-class battleships, but now, they are flying Japanese and North Korean naval flags respectively, bombarding themselves with the L50/356mm heavy artillery changed with Chinese help and killing American soldiers!

The 356mm 600 kg shells purchased from Xinhua are very powerful. There is no natural barrier to avoid the shells near Ensenad. Similar to the terrain of the Gobi, the soldiers have no place to hide.

Four dragon-tooth torpedoes/horizontal bombers appeared in the distance. The excellent low-altitude surnames allowed them to drop bombs almost on the surface. The power of 500 kilograms of high-explosive bombs was much greater than shells. One of them accurately fell into the trench and bombed more than a dozen American soldiers in the trench in the blink of an eye. I have to fly to the sky.

Colonel Evan's eyes were red, and he could hold the water out of his fist. Just as he was about to shout to send someone to guard it again, countless fast-moving small black spots suddenly appeared on the sea in the distance.

"Log in, they're going to rush over!"

"Get ready."

"Machine gun, drag the machine gun out!"

Colonel Evan shouted. In the trench, where there was no way to fight back, there was a rapid shouting of the officers. The soldiers could only grit their teeth and rush into the position with the still raging gunfire.

"Let the destroyer get closer, pay attention to the machine gun, and be sure to suppress it!"

On the side platform of the bridge of the battleship Yanjing, an empty sleeve was blown up by the sea breeze, but Sa Zhenbing did not seem to see the long sleeves flying over, and still calmly gave the order.

The glorious victory of the empire's counterattack made him break one arm. Everyone thought that he would retire from now on, but he didn't expect that he gritted his teeth and persisted, not for anything else, just for the blue that he could not give up in his heart.

But what he didn't expect was that the emperor personally suggested that he be the commander of the South American fleet, and in the recent reorganization, he officially became the first commander of the Fifth Fleet of the Empire. He was partnered with the original captain He Wenyu, the original captain of the Guangdong and the first naval captain who started with the emperor.

His position really made many people jealous at that time. I heard that even Ji Rushan had thought about changing his seat, because the combat goal of the Fifth Fleet was too attractive. It was based in Panama and somewhere in the future Caribbean, which undoubtedly told everyone that the Fifth Fleet would be a benefit for the Empire to ensure the interests of the Atlantic Ocean. The sword!

After there was basically no threat in the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean became the big fat in the hearts of the admirals, but no one expected that these two fat pieces were not handed over to the first and second fleets, but were taken into the arms by the newly formed fifth and seventh fleets. Who could not move.

Especially in the Caribbean Sea, both the empire and the United Kingdom and the United States have used this place as the last decisive battle of the navy. However, once the Panama Canal is restored and opened, there will be an unrivaled war there, which may be the Empire's "Battle of Trafalgar".

But if you want to usher in that naval battle, you must first send the army to the west coast of the United States!

The destroyer's 130mm naval guns were not powerful in the decisive battle at sea, but they could be regarded as heavy artillery in the face of the army. They began to approach the coast with dense landing boats.

Sa Zhenbing looked at the three Japanese and North Korean battleships that were bombarding on the other side of the river together, especially the Japanese Nagato and North Korea's Pyongyang. The 10 L50/356 mm guns with the same as the Hebei class were particularly eye-catching.

Of course, if he knows the inside story, he will not feel that the Yanjing class is not as good as the other party. In fact, if the situation is opened, the Yanjing class will have a certain advantage in this kind of semi-disabled battleship. After all, even if it is an ally, the empire will not transfer and sell the fire control and the most advanced light sight equipment.

From the First Sino-Japanese War that was rampant in the Yellow Sea 20 years ago, to now the maintenance of artillery shells and warships depends on the empire, this may be the ultimate goal of the emperor, right?

Sa Zhenbing smiled and turned his eyes to the landing battlefield that was about to begin. Now there is only one question. Will the U.S. military be attracted to the deployment of troops to support the peninsula after the San Diego disaster?

===== "New York, sunk. Tex, tilt."

"Kentage, tilt. The Illinois sank.

"Connecticut, sunk. The Louisiana." In the battle room of the heavy aircraft carrier Xiqin, while listening to the staff read aloud, Tan Haodong carefully put the name of the ship and the ship behind the shore fortifications on the small blackboard, or drew a circle.

× The representative was destroyed, and the circle said that it temporarily lost its combat effectiveness, and the final result still needs to be confirmed.

Although he is very serious and seems very calm, as long as he looks at his slightly trembling hands, he will know that the excitement is actually just suppressed.

No one is not excited. Although several fighters were lost, it was too slight compared with the result. Especially when the name of the ship was almost full of ×, it means that from now on, except for 3 American cruisers and 27 destroyers in San Francisco Harbor, no complete enemy ships can be seen in the Pacific Ocean. With the existence of the team, the Imperial Royal Navy has become the real owner of this vast and rich ocean!

Looking at the blackboard full of small characters, only Ji Rushan and Zhao Long and other two eyebrows did not completely unfold. Although the attack was very wonderful, after all, the strength gap is here. Ye Xiao's first appearance of the tactical surname Neng U.S. military did not know anything about it. He lacked a large elevation rapid-fire gun, so it was not a great credit. Really What they are concerned about is whether the landing in Ensena da can draw the attention of the United States there and cover for the real landing.

"Report, General Sa reported that the first landing troops had landed and did not encounter too strong resistance."

Hearing that the psudo-attack landing began, the atmosphere in the war room suddenly resumed. Ji Rushan immediately asked, "Is there any movement of the U.S. Army on the border of the Baja California Peninsula?"

"Not yet, but the three U.S. military divisions that had entered the peninsula before are currently concentrating on Ensena Dar, trying to cooperate with an infantry division there to block us, but now they have been blocked by General Sa's naval guns on the periphery of the landing site."

"Tell General Sa Zhenbing that in any case, he should cooperate with the landing force to gain a firm foothold before the day falls. In addition, tell Zhu Houbin that without the fleet, San Diego's threat is no longer great, and he should send as many planes as possible to Ensenard's." Ji Rushan said, "Sent reconnaissance planes to go deeper and closely monitor the army movement on the border of the peninsula!"

"Yes."

After the staff officer left, Lin Tai once took out a cigarette: "Would you like the second fleet to come up? In this way, the United States will definitely transfer troops from California to reinforce the peninsula.

"No way." Le Fei next to him shook his head first: "We have enough troops, but the transportation force for landing is not enough. If we transfer ships from Hawaii, we can't ensure the ability to transport 20 divisions at a time in three days. Now the second-line fleet is currently assembled in China, and it will take at least half a month to come. We must find another way."

"But without the second fleet to follow up, the United States may not scatter eagles."

"I have a way." Zhang Shun looked at the map and suddenly said.

"Oh? What's the way?" Several people quickly walked to the map. Zhang Shun immediately pointed to Panama City and said, "Three Japanese divisions and one North Korean division left Panama five days ago. It is expected to arrive in Guaimas tomorrow morning. In my opinion, it is better to change the plan and let them come to Ensenada, so that they can invest four more divisions tomorrow morning. The United States is sure. It will be urgent."

"This won't work." Lin Tai once immediately shook his head and said, "Shoushan had asked for support as soon as possible. What's more, now he only has only 8 divisions in his hand, but he has to resist 7 U.S. Army Group, and he also has to dispatch troops to help Mexico defend the East Coast. It will take at least half a month for the air force to turn around. If this group of reinforcements is pulled over, he will not get it in half a month. Any reinforcements."

"Mexico is not the point. As long as the U.S. military can be attracted to the peninsula border, as soon as the landing is completed, the United States will fight on two fronts, and he does not dare to deal with Mexico with all his strength. And after the main force lands, as long as we send some small boats, we can easily send this group of troops to the other side of the Gulf of California. Guaimas."

"Le Fei is right. The most important thing now is to attract the U.S. military to transfer troops from California to support the peninsula, which can reduce the defense intensity of Santa Barbara. As long as 20 divisions can be finally sent up, the gap will be opened!" Ji Rushan nodded. Just as he was about to continue to add fire to the peninsula according to Zhang Shun's plan, a telegram was suddenly stuffed into the palm of his hand.

The corners of the mouth suddenly raised: "The U.S. military has moved, and the two divisions stationed on the border between Arizona and California set out south!"
