Chapter 508 D-DAY Burning America(1/2)
Three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, and this sentence makes a lot of sense.
Deng Shichang and his adjutants said one by one. The solutions that each person came up with were desirable and loopholes, but the strategies of several people gathered together and complemented each other, but they became a very feasible combat plan.
The three-way fleet of the Imperial Navy attacked Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico, Virginia in the Chesapeake Bay, and Rhode Island and New York in the Bay of New York respectively.
Starting from the Caribbean Sea, the troops were divided into two groups, heading to the Gulf of Mexico, and heading north along the North Atlantic Ocean. When we arrived near Chesapeake Bay, it became three groups, and the other group continued north until we arrived at New York Bay.
The closest distance is the Gulf of Mexico, which is within one day; followed by Chesapeake Bay, which takes three days, and the farthest is the Bay of New York, which takes six days.
So, Li Weijun, Deng Shichang and Lin Taizeng agreed on the attack time, which was the early morning of the seventh day six days later.
According to the naming rules of the Chinese Emperor's side's action, this day is called Revenge Day.
According to Western customs, this day is called d-day. D may mean login day or attack day, but this time, it means destruction.
The US Navy sneaked into Pearl Harbor, the Chinese Empire, while the Chinese Empire Navy took revenge in turn, trying to destroy the three most developed naval industrial bases on the coast of the United States, destroy all kinds of warships under construction by the US military, and completely destroy the hope of the US Navy's resurrection.
This is a large-scale revenge, and it is the revenge of the Pearl Harbor incident by the Imperial Chinese Navy.
Deng Shichang's task is the most difficult, but fortunately he has enough time to plan and deploy. Five days is enough for Deng Shichang and his staff to formulate the most scientific and feasible action plan.
As for Lin Taizeng, he had three days to prepare, but Li Weijun didn't have much time to prepare along the way. Fortunately, Li Weijun attacked the New York Bay, where the terrain was very simple. Facing the North Atlantic, the naval fleet could reach its destination as long as it broke through the US offshore defensive fleet. It was not as complex as Deng Shichang's Gulf of Mexico, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Time passed day by day, Deng Shichang was very careful, and his fleet had been lurking quietly in a remote unmanned water in Cuba.
If it is placed in the 21st century, which is overcrowded, it will probably be exposed immediately, but it is still easy for a fleet to hide its traces in the sparsely populated 19th century. Otherwise, the US Navy would not have spent three months detouring the Pacific Ocean from the Atlantic and then surprise attacking Pearl Harbor without being discovered.
In the evening of the sixth day, Deng Shichang and Lin Taizeng both received a telegram from Li Weijun that he had arrived in New York Bay.
So, the three fleets began to operate almost at the same time, and the fleets advanced towards their respective target sea areas.
Under the night, in the waters near Mobile Bay, eight submarines of the Imperial Chinese Navy quietly approached the islands stationed by four US sentries, and about 200 special forces soldiers secretly touched their respective mission islands.
After several days of reconnaissance and the mutual confirmation of SHIELD's intelligence, Deng Shichang has already known the defense and patrol time of four US military islands.
On David Island, there are twenty US soldiers stationed, eight fixed posts, eight mobile posts, one officer and one cook, and two others are secret posts. They are equipped with lighthouses, searchlights, telephones, and sentry towers. The patrol team comes out every half an hour to patrol each time.
The island's sentry towers are arranged in detail, with four in the east, west, south, and north. No matter which sentry tower is attacked, the other three sentry towers will be discovered.
However, this time the Chinese Special Forces team members had help, and China SHIELD celebrated in a hotel in downtown Mobile, preparing enough thirty minutes to set off salutes and fireworks.
The two sides agreed on the action time. Just after nine o'clock that night, fireworks and salutes flicked, instantly attracting the attention of Americans in Mobile.
The fireworks blooming in the night sky illuminated half of the sky, beautiful and enchanting.
But under this beauty, there is a strong murderous intent hidden.
"What's going on?"
The officers from David Island walked out of the house and saw the fireworks in the sky, and were instantly attracted.
"What day is today? Such spectacular fireworks are setting off in the city!"
"It's probably that consortium that is celebrating again!"
The American soldiers at the mail towers around were talking, and their bodies turned to the north at the same time, their eyes were all looking at the fireworks in the sky, forgetting their responsibilities.
The officer was still quite alert and immediately cursed: "What do you think? Be careful of being sneak attacked by the enemy. You must know that there are many shipyards in the bay and dozens of warships are under construction. Now the US Navy is defeated, these warships are our future!"
"Sir, don't worry, the warships of the Imperial Chinese Navy are all repaired in the docks, and it will not be repaired in two or three months!"
Such beautiful fireworks are undoubtedly a gift for boring soldiers to relax, so the officer only gave a few reminders and did not strictly enforce them.
At the same time, the lurking Chinese Empire Marines took the opportunity to approach the four mail towers, and the fireworks and loud bangs in the sky covered their movements.
Puff! Puff!
The sharp knife was inserted into the heart of the US sentry, and their mouths and noses were tightly covered, so it was impossible to make a sound.
The US sentinels were killed one after another.
A US military suddenly turned around and saw this scene. He was about to shoot and warn him, but a person suddenly appeared behind him, covering his mouth and nose, and touching his neck with a knife.
Twenty American soldiers were killed in less than three minutes. The Chinese Empire Marines changed into their uniforms and stood back on the sentry tower, as if nothing had happened.
The same thing happened on the other three islands.
However, there was still a small episode. A US military was a bit different and hated watching fireworks. As a result, when he turned his head, he suddenly discovered a bloody scene on the opposite hut. He immediately fired a warning.
The gunshot scared all the Chinese Emperor's soldiers who participated in the operation.
Fortunately, the salute in the sky was loud enough to cover up the gunshots, otherwise something big would happen.
After successfully controlling the alert in Mobile Bay, Deng Shichang then directed the fleet to rush into the bay.
There are patrolling US gunboats in the bay, but the US troops above are also watching fireworks. The Chinese Empire special forces members in the water quietly boarded the ship, killed US sailors, and quickly controlled the US patrol gunboat.
In the same way, several other US patrol gunboats were all controlled within an hour.
One of the US gunboats had an accident. The Chinese Empire special forces personnel who were operating were found, and the two sides exchanged fire. Fortunately, the Chinese special forces personnel controlled the naval guns in time and stopped the US sailors from firing fire to warn them. There was no radio on the gunboat, and other US sailors could not let their comrades on the land know about it even if they had broken their throats.
The most important thing is that the US military did not know that the attack on them was the Emperor of China, so their people immediately thought that pirates or terrorists wanted to rob the ship. As a result, after a battle, the US sailors lay down and found something was wrong before they died.
The brief fire exchange did not attract the attention of the surroundings. Americans were attracted by the fireworks, and the dense sound of salutes covered the gunshots on the US military gunboats.
Deng Shichang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately he made full preparations, otherwise the gunshots would definitely arouse the US military on the shore's vigilance. Once the US military discovered the danger, even if the equipment and warships of the shipyard could not be transferred, the precious shipbuilding technicians and workers could be transferred.
Deng Shichang was worried about this when he stayed in the mountains and did not worry about the lack of firewood. He didn't want those who helped the US military build warships to live, otherwise he wouldn't have to do these things at all. He just rushed into Mobile Bay and bombarded them.
"Report, all obstacles are eliminated!"
"The whole fleet obeys the order and advances at full speed. ignore the US military's artillery and crosses directly to the inner bay. The destroyer fleet clears enemy warships along the way, and the frigates pay attention to protecting the main battleships. After the main battleship enters, the full force of shelling the shipyard and destroys all the enemy ships in the dock!"
After Deng Shichang issued the order, more than 70 warships of various types drove full force, like arrows leaving the strings, and quickly rushed into Mobile Bay.
Black objects will not be discovered only in pure black nights. On ordinary nights, as long as there is a little starlight or moonlight, or even firefly light, pure black objects will attract people's attention the most.
The warships of the Imperial Navy were all painted in gray. Twenty years ago, the Imperial Navy did not understand why their commander Li Weiguo chose gray paint. At that time, the officers and soldiers of the Imperial Navy who received British naval education preferred Victorian black paint.
But it was not until later, after many night battles that the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Empire realized that their gray painted warships were easier to invisible at night and did not attract people's attention. On the contrary, those black painted warships were more conspicuous at night.
From then on, the officers and soldiers of the Chinese Empire accepted gray paint and began to mock the fancy black and yellow paint of the British Navy, and even despise the white paint of the US Navy.
In this way, Deng Shichang led the fleet into Mobile Bay. After driving for a long distance, he was not discovered by the US military artillery on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. This is a miracle.
In fact, the US troops on the fortresses on both sides of the Taiwan Strait were also attracted by the fireworks.
This is the reason why it is said that dark under the lamp.
However, Deng Shichang's fleet was too large, and more than 70 warships entered Mobile Bay. No matter how good the camouflage was, they would be discovered because the target was too large.
"Look! What is that?"
A US sentry on duty looked at the bay inadvertently and discovered this huge fleet.
When the searchlight hit the sea, the huge battleship body of the Imperial Chinese Navy was immediately exposed.
"Dragon Flag! It's the damn dragon flag!"
Dragon Flag, synonymous with uniqueness in the world, refers to the Chinese Empire.
The US military on duty on the fort was stunned for ten seconds before reacting.
"Enemy attack! Get the alarm!"
A shrill alarm sounded, and the American artillerymen who were lying on the bedside of the dormitory and looking through the window to watch the fireworks were stunned, and then they jumped up and filled with gatherings.
For many years, no enemy attacks have occurred in Mobile Bay. Since the end of the Civil War, there has been no alarm here, even during the Spanish-American War.
The US military delayed for half an hour before the assembly was completed. The sleepy US turret commander quickly led a team to the fort. When he saw the huge Chinese Empire fleet, he was frightened and his legs were weak.
"Fire the fire!"
"Sir, the artillery is locked and the ammunition depot is locked. You have to give us the key!"
A US military said miserably, reminding the officers.
The years of no war caused the artillery to be locked in anti-aircraft holes, and the ammunition depot was also locked.
Where is the key?
The officer was almost crying. He finally found the key and then opened the door.
One cannon was pushed out by US soldiers and took place on the turret. At the same time, the ammunition depot was opened and one round of shells resisted the artillery.
"Fire the gun! Fire the gun!"
The officer urged.
These American artillery soldiers had not fired artillery for a long time, and were even more nervous at this moment. After a simple aim, they hurriedly loaded the shells.
"fire!"
Dongdongdongdongdong...
The US military artillery opened fire, and the shells roared out, drew lights in the night sky, and then fell to the bay.
The expected explosion did not happen, and the US military officer was stunned.
Damn! What's going on?
"Sir, that one has not loaded the fuse!"
"Farke Oil! Why don't you die!"
To be continued...
