A large number of Axis bombers who were not afraid of losses carried out repeated bombings on Alexandra Port. The outnumbered ground anti-aircraft artillery fire was gradually destroyed. After there was no resistance, the Axis air force continued to wreak havoc for several days.
However, due to the lack of frontline bombers, the hit accuracy of the huge B29 bombers was not high, and the army soldiers hiding underground did not suffer much losses.
After the air force wreaked havoc, Mike, who believed that the opponent had little ability to resist, ordered four of his troops to enter Alexandra Port to test the reality. These small countries, which could only rely on the Boston Empire, had already obeyed their advice.
The officers naturally did not dare to cause trouble. Even though they knew that such an action was quite dangerous, they could only order the soldiers to attack forward.
Riding M4 tanks and wheeled armored personnel carriers, hundreds of thousands of troops from the Cerro Army carefully entered the Port of Alexandra. It went smoothly at first, but when they penetrated deep into the city, the Chinese army began to counterattack.
In order to enter the city, the armored troops had to line up in a straight line and pass through the street in the middle of the building, but soon countless anti-tank mines and anti-tank grenades were thrown out from the windows of the building, and with the roar
With a loud explosion, the tank in front was wiped out.
The individual rocket launchers that appeared on the side of the street house made the wheeled armored vehicles traveling behind lose their temper. The Cerro soldiers who were lucky enough to survive immediately rolled off the vehicles. Under the threat of the rocket launchers, targets as big as armored personnel carriers were
They no longer dared to ride, but their suffering was not over. The snipers hiding in the dark began to call them names one by one.
Under such multi-layered firepower coverage, those Cerro soldiers were unlucky. They would be attacked by rocket launchers and machine guns if they stood up, and they would be attacked by snipers if they lay down. The Cerro soldiers, who were surrounded by enemies, had no choice but to shoot randomly in all directions.
To embolden themselves, even the surviving tanks began to fight around.
Hearing the intensive exchange of fire in the city, Mike was very satisfied. From the sound, he knew that the Cerro Army was engaged in a fierce exchange of fire with the Chinese Army. As long as he could consume the strength of the Chinese Army, the life and death of those small country armies had nothing to do with him. But he listened.
After a while, Mike began to feel more and more that something was wrong. Hearing gunshots, the Cerro Army stopped advancing without advancing much. Moreover, their gunfire was chaotic and was obviously not organized shooting. This made Mike quite puzzled.
In order to find out the situation, he immediately asked two armies from the Grand Duchy of Reese and two armies from the Grand Duchy of Gothenburg to enter the city to help the Cerro Army. The fighting in the city became more intense, with as many as eight armies pressing down on the Chinese Army.
The defensive pressure on the two armies was very heavy.
Because the First Mountain Infantry Corps is a force dedicated to mountain warfare, it is not equipped with any heavy equipment at all. The only weapons they have are individual weapons and some light artillery. However, the well-trained Chinese mountain infantry are not discouraged by this.
, these mountain infantry trained to meet the requirements of quasi-special forces relied on the light weapons in their hands to accurately attack the opponent. Relying on rocket launchers and some anti-tank vehicle artillery supported by the Second Desert Light Army, they also fought vividly, not only many times
It repelled the attack of Axis soldiers and destroyed many tanks.
The four-star general Mike who was waiting for news outside the city became more and more confused. He heard the sound of gunfire and artillery in the city one after another, as if the war was fierce. However, he heard that his own army was unable to move forward. This was very strange.
In order to invade Port Alexandra as soon as possible, Mike ordered the air force to provide support and mobilized his direct Boston Army. Relying on the fact that the number of troops was far greater than that of his opponents, he decided not to leave a reserve force in the entire army, starting from three
Attack into the city.
After entering the city, Mike finally understood the difficulty of the troops in front. Although the Chinese army was smaller in number, they relied on their familiarity with the terrain and a large number of weapons suitable for street fighting to flexibly attack the Axis forces throughout the city, while the Air Force
But they did not dare to carry out excessive bombing for fear of hitting their own people.
The architects of the Chinese Empire were still very responsible. Of course, this is also related to the fact that Fang Xiaoyu proposed strict punishment regulations for project quality problems in order to avoid shoddy projects. The Alexandra building was almost destroyed during World War I.
In the seaport city that was completely destroyed and later rebuilt by the Chinese, not only did it have underground sewers and railway networks extending in all directions, but the tall buildings in the city were also quite strong and durable. Even the 76mm main gun on the M4 tank was
Even when the shells hit it, it didn't cause much damage, which was a bit difficult for commanders at all levels of the Axis powers.
Fight outside. These rows of buildings are as difficult to conquer as reinforced concrete fortifications. If you let the soldiers rush in and fight hand-to-hand, the opponent's automatic rifles, rapid-fire pistols, shotguns and various types of grenades that are more suitable for close combat will not work at all.
Our own soldiers armed with semi-automatic rifles can resist, and the losses will be even greater.
Even four-star General Mike felt that the matter was very difficult. At this moment, he asked the country to mobilize a batch of B25 front-line bombers as soon as possible to strengthen the tactical bombing of urban areas. At the same time, he was anxiously waiting for the Navy's assistance, hoping that the Navy's large-caliber
Naval guns can help him, but he doesn't know that the navy has suffered an incredible attack.
Just as the four-star Admiral Mike was preparing to attack the Port of Alexandra, the Commander of the Axis Mediterranean Combined Fleet, the Commander of the Axis Mediterranean Combined Fleet, the Two-star Admiral Burke, immediately ordered the fleet to set sail, and the entire fleet sailed towards the Port of Alexandra at cruising speed.
.
As soon as the Axis Mediterranean Fleet left the port of Ceuta, spy satellites in space discovered it. This information passed through the Imperial Intelligence Agency and quickly reached the hands of Lieutenant General Jiang Pingxian, commander of the Chinese Empire's Mediterranean Fleet. Although the tonnage of the warships between the two sides was very different.
, Jiang Pingxian knew very well that if he could not stop the opponent's navy's attack, it would be difficult to defend the Port of Alexandra, so he resolutely decided to unplug the fleet and set sail towards the Port of Alexandra at full speed.
The headquarters of the Chinese Navy's Mediterranean Fleet is at the exit of the Sinai Canal. They are relatively close to the Port of Alexandra, and the light warships are faster, so they should have arrived at the Port of Alexandra earlier. But Jiang Ping first
He did not want to expose his target by supporting the Port of Alexandra. His target was the opponent's Mediterranean Fleet. Therefore, the Chinese Navy's Mediterranean Fleet did not approach the port. Instead, it followed the instructions of satellites and Black Feather strategic reconnaissance aircraft and headed towards the opponent's fleet.
The fleet headed towards him.
"Bird No. 1 has discovered the opposing fleet, which is eighty-seven kilometers away from us." The navigator of the guided missile cruiser Liu'an, the flagship of the Mediterranean Fleet, received the news from the Air Force and immediately reported to Commander Jiang Pingxian.
Jiang Ping first stared at the changing electronic map and whispered: "Request the air force to report precise coordinates, turn on the sea radar at full power, and prepare to launch anti-ship missiles." This is the first time that the missile has entered actual combat, and it has passed
It is definitely very difficult for the Black Feather reconnaissance aircraft in the sky to determine the coordinates.
Jiang Ping has never used missiles in actual combat, and he is not sure at this moment, but he knows very well that the opponent has an aircraft carrier. Once his fleet is discovered by the opponent's radar, the entire fleet will inevitably be sunk by carrier-based aircraft.
, so he had to risk long-range missile attacks.
"The missile is ready. The coordinates provided by Bird 1 have been input into the missile. However, the radar scanning range is insufficient, so we can only use the astral inertial guidance mode, which has a low hit rate." The adjutant on the side explained to Jiang Pingxian.
Jiang Ping nodded first and said: "That's good. Our anti-ship missiles can already hit a hundred kilometers, but it's really awkward that the shipboard radar can't reach it. We need to give advice to the Academy of Sciences as soon as possible. Order 170 to 174 ships to each launch an Eagle Strike
1 improved anti-ship missile, tell Bird 1 to monitor the missile hit rate at any time."
"Yes, General." The adjutant immediately issued an order through the radio. As a burst of smoke rose from the five cruisers, five large anti-ship missiles rose into the sky and flew into the distance.
"Bird No. 1 is preparing to lock the target, pay attention." The radar soldier on the cruiser loudly announced to the strategic reconnaissance aircraft in the sky.
"Bird No. 1 understands that the missile has been locked and is in good flight condition." Gao Qingyun, a radar officer sitting on the Bird No. 1, wiped his sweat, but continued to stare at the screen, watching the five missiles flying towards the opponent's fleet.
.
Attacking the enemy fleet with missiles is the first time for a young girl to get on the sedan. Everyone will be very nervous, even if it is an aerial reconnaissance plane. This is very different from the drill. At this moment, Gao Qingyun was nervous without blinking.
Staring at the screen, as the missile signals on the radar got closer and closer to the opponent's warship, he turned on the TV screen next to him.
This TV screen is connected to the optical lens under the nose of the reconnaissance aircraft. This lens borrowed from civilian technology has even surpassed the technological level of the earth in the early 21st century, becoming one of the few in the Imperial Chinese Army.
With the existence of ultra-modern technology, it can clearly view any detailed target within a hundred kilometers, making it an absolute reconnaissance tool.
Originally, Gao Qingyun could choose to directly let the synthetic aperture radar on the reconnaissance plane illuminate the opponent's warship, so that the radar can automatically scan. He only needs to observe the explosion reaction of the opponent's warship, but he felt that it would be safer to see it with his own eyes, so
He turned on the optical lens screen.
After the screen was opened, the optical lens immediately began to operate, and a clear video signal immediately appeared on the screen. On the screen, the opponent's huge fleet appeared, lining up in a neat formation, and the oncoming color video signal. The most obvious one was
That huge aircraft carrier with a full flight deck.
