Chapter 27 Political Mind
"This damn radar!"
In the radar room of the U.S. aircraft carrier, facing the radar display that had become blurred, the radar soldiers were a little helpless. This is the "Wangtower III" of the Chinese Federal Defense Force - early warning. What happened after the electronic warfare airship appeared is just like the U.S. military
The "Sentinel" - a reconnaissance/command/electronic warfare airship appeared in the sky after the radar of the Italian army.
The difference is that the various data of the US military radar are not secret to the Chinese Federal Defense Force. It is just that these information do not come from the army, but belong to the members of the "Zhonghua Association". In this matter, the "Zhonghua Association" will not let
My own people are tortured by their sense of morality, but the source of their information is businessmen with no conscience to speak of. Many personnel in equipment manufacturing companies of the US military have sold the data as soon as they have completed manufacturing.
Therefore, almost all of the US military's radars and other radio equipment became decorations at this time. Especially at night, this situation put the entire fleet in serious uneasiness. Unfortunately, radio communications have not been restored until now.
.Although the fleet received a mobile phone warning, it began to move away from the Italian coast during the night.
Even so, they soon discovered some unmanned combat aircraft in the sky. Like maggots attached to bones, these little guys have been tracking the fleet in the Mediterranean theater. The effectiveness of the unmanned aerial vehicles has been greatly improved by William Frey Jr.
Vice Admiral Derek Halsey notified various units on his mobile phone. When the fleet discovered these drones, it immediately rushed to the waters near Sixi Island at full speed.
Then they approached Sicily, under the protection of shore-based fighter aircraft. Along the Italian coast, there were many "dish-shaped anti-aircraft pods" floating there. According to Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr.'s mobile phone
According to the notice, the "dish-shaped air defense cabins" here are equipped with infrared searchlights. Facing the visually invisible air warships of the Chinese Federation, this is the most helpless choice.
Only geniuses know whether this measure is useful when facing the Chinese Federation's air battleships. Fortunately, because of such facilities, the Mediterranean warships can approach the shore and avoid attacks from the Chinese Federation's air battleships.
, at least William Frederick Halsey Jr. believes that the twin 12.7mm machine guns on those "dish-shaped air defense pods" can form a dense rain of bullets to fight against the missiles of the Chinese Federation.
In addition, the "Arrow Series Anti-aircraft Missiles" on Sicily have also been equipped with active infrared cameras, hoping to effectively counterattack the attacks of the Chinese Federation's air fleet at night. Unfortunately, the infrared equipment of the Mediterranean Fleet is not available.
There were not many, so Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr. had to ask for reinforcements from the Allied General Headquarters, and at the same time requested an immediate end to the offensive plan, and included the 5th Army and the 7th Army, including the British 8th Army
All remained in Sicily for intensive defense.
It is also hoped that after the start of "Operation Overlord", the Italian mainland can be attacked again. Especially after the liberation of France, when the entire Italy can form a two-line battle, the troops in the Mediterranean theater can attack again. If they insist on attacking now,
Then the power in the Mediterranean theater may suffer huge losses as a result. Another request is to ask the Allies to provide more air warships and enough jet fighters as soon as possible to cope with the Chinese Federation's combat operations in Italy.
Unfortunately, in order to allow the troops in the Mediterranean Theater to fully attract the attention of the Chinese Federal Defense Forces, Commander-in-Chief General Douglas MacArthur did not approve the request of William Frederick Halsey Jr. Everyone should remember that the two of them were in the Pacific Theater
At that time, the relationship was not very good. Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr. was a general respected by Admiral Chester William Nimitz, and this was Douglas who was somewhat "politically savvy".
Things that General MacArthur didn't like.
"Don't worry, I will send some sea turbulence to transport you enough Shenjian systems and American-made Sparrow anti-aircraft missiles. I believe these infrared tracking missiles can make the Chinese Federation's fighters more honest!"
It must be said that the U.S. government is by far the strongest opponent of the Chinese Federation. Although many of its scholars have been poached by the Chinese Federation, the United States, as the world's largest economic power, still has a certain degree of attraction. Therefore,
Often the weapons that the Chinese Federation has shown to the world will soon be produced by the United States and equipped with troops.
Just like the "Arrow series of anti-aircraft missiles" appeared on the battlefield of World War II, the U.S. military imitated them. In addition to using visual infrared guidance, the "Sparrow anti-aircraft missiles" are also classified into radar-guided ones.
and infrared guidance. Their targets are jet fighters from all over the world. This also includes the "Twin Banshee - ZF2-K/D Fighter" and D-3 Phantom fighter used by the Chinese Federal Defense Force.
D/A4 Hellhawk fighter attack aircraft.
Of course, the U.S. military still doesn’t know what measures the Chinese Federal Defense Forces have to deal with such self-tracking missiles, but as far as the U.S. itself is concerned, it has begun to equip jet fighters with countermeasure systems such as “thermal bombs.”
From this point of view, the U.S. military can to some extent keep up with the pace of the development of the Chinese Federation's military science and technology. However, the pace of the development of the Chinese Federation's military science and technology is too fast. Even if it buys the finished products of the Chinese Federation's National Defense Forces equipment, and then carries out
Reverse mapping and imitation are not easy tasks
situation. Moreover, U.S. military production companies have discovered that their innovation and R&D capabilities have been greatly weakened by this kind of procurement, imitation, and self-production. Although this worries them, the United States is currently at war.
, but there is absolutely no way to get rid of this dangerous trend.
"Looks like we just have to get through this long night!"
This is a feeling that makes little William Frederick Halsey extremely uncomfortable. He is worried that the Chinese Federation will launch an attack overnight. Even if the "Sea Furious" sent from England arrives, it will not arrive until tomorrow at the earliest.
Okay, so what should we do tonight?
In this case, Vice Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr. also made some political moves, which was to withdraw his fleet. Compared with the navy, the army has a stronger ability to resist air strikes. After all,
The infantrymen sleeping in the pits were not so sensitive to air attacks.
However, he had no idea what kind of disaster his order would bring to Army Lieutenant General Mark Clark and the 5th Army under his command.

————————————————————————————————————————On a moonless night, almost nothing can be seen with the naked eye
Fortunately, a few "dish-shaped air defense pods" of the US military are equipped with active infrared tracking lights. For US infantry, this is probably the only means of observation. And they are not equipped with equipment like the infantry of the Chinese Federal Defense Force.
The fully enclosed helmet not only integrates the respiratory system, but also integrates the night vision system. The only difference from the night vision system of "Devil's Journey" is that the ordinary army is equipped with low-light night vision devices and thermal imaging systems.
Most of them are weapons and equipment viewing equipment. Compared with the US military, the equipment of the Chinese Federal Defense Force is much better. Especially in such a night attack, these night vision systems will bring considerable help.
As usual, land attacks are fought from the sea. This is the way the Chinese Federal Defense Forces fight. When they fight, the troops under attack are often unclear about their true purpose, and once their operations start, they often fail.
You won't stop winning.
"They're coming!"
On the side facing the coast, there are also many "dish-shaped air defense cabins" floating. As a means of defense, this kind of air and ground equipment is more useful than bunkers. Even on the coast side, in addition to hidden artillery and
Apart from tanks, the most common ones are such "dish-shaped air defense cabins". At this time, through the active infrared tracking lights on the "dish-shaped air defense cabins" and wearing passive infrared night vision goggles, you can see that there are "dish-shaped air defense cabins" appearing in the night sky not far away.
Something terrible.
Swarms of 210mm rockets flew across the sky like rain. They didn't care about the obstruction of the "dish-shaped air defense cabin" or the accuracy of their targets. As surface attack weapons, their mission was to carry out coverage attacks.
.Three air battleships launched this
The speed of launching rockets is not fast. The first launcher on each warship can fire 6 consecutive rockets in one shot. As an aerial warship, the "Global Hawk" airship of the Chinese Federation can fire 60 rockets at a time. Three warships can fire 60 rockets at a time.
The salvo was only 180 pieces.
Although this does not constitute a huge coverage attack, it is enough for the target of these rockets. Because they are attacking directly the headquarters of Army Lieutenant General Mark Clark. Perhaps these rockets cannot be breached at all.
It is a strong fortress composed of some "fast fronts", but as long as it is given enough interference, the purpose will be achieved.
When the continuous explosions sounded on the coast, the entire fortress of the U.S. 5th Army Headquarters shook. Army Lieutenant General Mark Clark sat on a chair, looking at the electronic equipment that was almost all malfunctioning, and he sighed in his heart.
