1522 、 Conquer the Pacific Ocean Defense Line (Part 2)
"Sir …" The adjutant came over worriedly.
"Bastard! I don't care anymore! We'll deal with whatever comes our way! No matter how many people the Guardian Empire sends, we'll take them on! Everyone, get ready for battle! All combat personnel to the deck! Tell the USS New Jersey to prepare the sky bombardment! "The commander of the US Navy slammed his fist on the table and yelled.
The ear-piercing air defense alarm sounded again. The American soldiers who had just become incredibly tired from the previous round of air attacks immediately looked towards the horizon. When they saw the black mass of Dragonrider Type 4 aircraft, as well as the even larger disc-shaped aircraft in the middle, they all revealed expressions of despair.
However, their survival instinct overwhelmed everything else. After the US started the war, they had been spreading the word that the Guardian Empire was an evil robot country. This country never left anyone alive on the battlefield. Therefore, when the US soldiers faced the Guardian Empire's army, they would explode with a strong desire to survive.
All the soldiers who could still move picked up their M249 or M60 light machine guns and looked at the sky nervously.
As usual, another wave of missiles came! The entire Pacific Ocean defense line was once again surrounded by countless missiles. However, compared to before, the US warships that had suffered heavy losses in the first air attack were no longer complete. Suddenly, a large number of missiles landed among the fleet! Boom! Boom! Countless explosions rose into the sky!
At this time, at the core of the defense line, the three huge main cannon turrets of the USS New Jersey began to turn. Inside the turrets, automatic loading equipment loaded shells weighing up to 1.2 tons into the barrels. However, these shells were different from the sharp armor-piercing shells. They looked more like oval-shaped shells.
Then, the nine 406mm cannons in the three turrets began to adjust their angles and aimed at the very eye-catching giant aircraft in the sky!
"Come on! Robot bastards! Have a taste of the power of the sky bombardment! "On the bridge of the USS New Jersey, the captain said through gritted teeth.
As soon as he finished speaking. Boom! Boom! Boom! A deafening explosion sounded. The nine cannons spewed out flames several meters long. The huge recoil even caused the 56000 ton battleship to move several meters back! Nine heavy artillery shells shot out from the muzzles and exploded after flying a certain distance. The shells were filled with more than 2,000 small warheads as they shot out, instantly covering a large area of the sky!
The cannonball was actually a choice made by the Americans in desperation. They tried to use the battleship's main cannon to fire special high-explosive cannonballs to deal with air targets. Under the absolute air superiority of the Guardian Empire, the Americans could only think of ways to improve their ground air defense forces. Since missiles and planes were useless, they naturally thought of the 406 mm cannons equipped on the Iowa-class battleships.
Ironically, the Americans' idea was actually inspired by the Japanese Navy during World War II. During World War II, the Japanese were badly battered by the absolute superiority of the US Navy's air force. Left with no choice, they developed the Type-3 Bomb, which was to use large caliber naval guns to shoot at aircraft.
But regardless of whether you fired a shotgun or a high-explosive shell, it was still like using a cannon to kill a mosquito. Compared to carefully aiming at an aircraft flying at high speed thousands of meters in the air, it might be better to pray to God and pray to Buddha to hit it.
In fact, even when facing an aircraft from World War II, Japan's Type-3 Bomb proved to be a joke. The USS Musashi was bombed by the US Navy and fought back with the Type-3 Bomb, but the US Navy only lost three aircraft in the entire battle. As for whether the three aircraft were shot down by the Type-3 Bomb, no one knew. After all, there were a large number of warships guarding the USS Musashi. The USS Miao exploded due to poor management of the Type-3 Bomb and sank without a fight. Therefore, the sinking of the USS Miao using the Type-3 Bomb became the only recorded result of the Type-3 Bomb.
The huge disc-shaped aircraft in the air, which was the BNK-3R dispatched by Tang Yu, easily ascended a certain distance, then made a slight sideways movement, completely dodging the 406 mm caliber cannonball that the UA Navy had high hopes for. After that, it was obviously angered by this attack that was more like a taunt. The BNK-3R made a sound that ordinary people couldn't understand, then swooped down. The two large ion cannon turrets were deployed, and more than a dozen high-temperature particle missiles that were dozens of times more powerful than the Dragon Rider Type IV's ion cannons rained down from the sky!
Boom! Boom! The BNK-3R completely silenced the No. 1 and No. 2 main cannon turrets of the USS New Jersey battleship with just one salvo. The ion cannons launched by the Dragon Rider Type IV aircraft could not penetrate the battleship's armor belt, but the powerful ion cannons of the BNK-3R directly melted it!
Following the BNK-3R's attack, the surrounding Dragon Rider Type IV aircraft immediately swooped down toward the Pacific defense line like vultures smelling rotten meat!
…
"The Pacific defense line has fallen..." the President of the United States said in a deep voice in the presidential office in the White House. There was a large display in front of him, which was playing pictures from the Pacific defense line. In fact, this picture was sent by Gao Ming, the commander of the Guardian Group. The purpose was self-evident.
In the picture, it was already night, but the sky above the Pacific defense line was dyed blood red by countless flames. The wreckage of US warships on fire was everywhere on the sea, and a large number of US Navy soldiers who jumped into the sea were desperately struggling in the seawater covered in a thick layer of fuel. Cries for help, screams, and explosions were endless.
The battleship New Jersey, which the US had high hopes for, had been blown up and broken in two. Under the attack of the BNK-3R, the battleship's fuel depot armor belt was penetrated, and then the high temperature of the ion cannons ignited thousands of tons of heavy oil stored in the battleship. The subsequent explosion directly blew the 56000 ton behemoth in two and flipped it over! None of the 1,800 officers and men on the ship survived!
Hundreds of Dragon Rider Type IV aircraft had descended to an altitude of more than 50 meters. They turned on their searchlights and searched the broken artificial floating island. As the searchlights swept across, the numb and desperate expressions of the US soldiers who knelt on the ground and raised their hands to surrender could be clearly seen.
Some robot troops had already begun to land on the broken artificial floating island. They were also helping to rescue the wounded, but as long as there was the slightest resistance, they would be immediately shot down! After a US military officer who hid a pistol and wanted to fight back was stomped in the head by a G-2 engineering robot, the captives became completely obedient.
"The Guardian Empire's general attack officially began at 5: 06 p.m. A total of 1,000 Dragon Rider aircraft and one of these giant Sky Fortresses were deployed. At 9: 21 p.m., the defense line in Area B, where the battleship New Jersey was stationed, had completely collapsed. All the warships were wiped out, and no one was spared … The personnel losses are still being calculated, but preliminary estimates show that we have lost more than 50000 excellent soldiers in these four hours. " The President of the United States looked around, only to see the Secretary of Defense and several generals with four stars on their epaulets. They all had undisguised fear written on their faces.
