Chapter 609 Fighting the Southern Subcontinent VII
When it was bright outside, the Boston soldiers knew that something was wrong, but they had no chance to escape. After identifying the target, the Kunpeng 3 bombers opened their magazines one after another and launched one after another huge and somewhat outrageous bombs.
The bomb slid out of the magazine and fell to the ground from a high altitude with a parachute.
These bombs quickly exploded in the air ten meters above the ground, but the explosion did not make much noise, but the milky white cloud-like substance was thrown in all directions by the power of the explosion.
Then there was a second explosion in these clouds. Although there was still little movement, the explosion light was extremely bright, almost eclipsing the illumination bombs. When the first batch of bombs exploded, the illumination bombs that could have lasted for more than ten minutes were instantly
It went out.
This situation also surprised the pilots of the Chinese Air Force, because it was also the first time for them to use these weird bombs. Regardless of the situation, they still followed the procedures and used radar to drop the bombs at high altitudes, and dropped the bombs at designated locations.
Target.
These surprisingly low-power bombs made the people of Boston feel relaxed for a while. The soldiers in the distance also laughed at the fact that the bombs of the Chinese Empire were not manufactured well and were so weak, but they soon stopped laughing.
Because in the area around the bomb, the moment the bomb exploded, the soldiers suddenly felt the temperature rising rapidly, and there was a burning sensation in their throats. They wanted to take a big breath to relieve the feeling of stuffiness, but they were horrified to find that
The air around them seemed to have disappeared. No matter how hard they tried, they could not breathe any air.
The soldiers who fell on the ground suppressed their blushes. They desperately tore at their collars and throats, as if they could breathe air. Some soldiers even scratched their own necks, exposing their trachea to the air. This was still a distance.
The situation in the area slightly away from the center of the explosion, because in the center of the explosion, those soldiers, weapons and various materials have been turned into coke in an instant. The entire scene is terrible, as if it has entered purgatory in an instant. This is the latest cloud explosion developed by the Chinese Empire
The huge power of the bullet.
Cloud bombs are also called air bombs. Their main charge is a high-energy fuel called cloud explosives, rather than explosives. The explosives rely entirely on their own oxygen supply when the detonation reaction occurs, and when cloud bombs explode
, it makes full use of the oxygen in the atmosphere in the explosion zone. Under certain detonation conditions, the cloud explosive agent is thrown away, mixed with air and explodes violently, which is called cloud detonation.
The destructive effect of cloud detonation on targets is mainly due to the overpressure and temperature field effects generated by the detonation, as well as the scouring effect of high-temperature and high-pressure detonation products. Since cloud detonation consumes surrounding oxygen, it can form a
An oxygen-deprived area suffocates organisms to death, which is also the main killing method of cloud bombs.
The destructive power of cloud explosive bombs is very huge, but unfortunately it is also very difficult to manufacture. Even the powerful industrial capabilities of the Chinese Empire are currently unable to produce them on a large scale. A battle like this, which is only medium-sized, has consumed all the production of the Chinese Empire for a year.
reserve.
In just ten minutes, more than 100,000 people from the Boston Army were killed. The entire Axis center battlefield fell into panic and chaos. However, the real attack had just begun. Taking advantage of the situation in the center,
The Bostonians had no time to think about anything else. Cai Tingyuan's reserves began to attack. The direction they chose to attack was the armies of the Kingdom of Cerro and the Grand Duchy of Lys on the left flank of the Axis forces.
Patton's practice of using troops from other countries to cover the flanks exposed fatal flaws, especially when soldiers from the Kingdom of Cerro and the Grand Duchy of Lys had become hostile to the Bostonians.
Facing the powerful armored firepower and rapid assault tactics of the Chinese Empire, these troops with little fighting will were very weak. Their defense line was quickly broken through, and then the Bostonians, who were still in panic, encountered a fierce attack from the flanks.
attack.
In conjunction with the assault operations of the reserve force, the main force of the Chinese Army defending the Nile River also began a full-scale counterattack. Taking advantage of the chaos of the Axis forces and no one paying attention to the river bank, they used folding assault boats to quickly pass through the Nile River and attack forward.
, and the engineering troops also used pontoon vehicles to transport a large number of armored troops across the Nile River one after another.
The military strength of both sides was almost the same, but after experiencing several heavy casualties, the number of dead soldiers of the Axis Allied Forces has reached as high as 170,000, and the remaining army of less than 300,000 has also lost its own organization.
Boston's three-star general, General Patton, the commander-in-chief of this attack, could no longer prevent the retreat of his own troops. The entire southern route army of the Axis Powers completely collapsed. The Axis Power Air Force at the rear airport was in misery. The entire army was
Who has time to inform them during the rout? Therefore, when these air force units stationed at the frontline airport woke up, they suddenly found themselves on the frontline.
The encircling Imperial Chinese Army did not give them time to wake up, so in addition to a few planes escaping from remote airports, a large number of Axis aircraft and all ground support and cover troops, including hundreds of anti-aircraft guns, became the Imperial Chinese Army.
of trophies.
The complete retreat of the Southern Route Army also made Mike, who was trying his best to attack, restrain himself a lot. In fact, he was already tortured by the street fighting in Port Alexandra, especially the indigenous people who were willing to die in order to defend their homeland. They were simply the axis.
A soldier's nightmare.
Now that he had such a good excuse, four-star General Mike immediately ordered his troops to break away from the battle. The entire army retreated fifty kilometers to build a defense line. At the same time, the troops extended south to meet Patton's troops of the Southern Route Army. General Patton became the scapegoat for this failure.
, was directly dismissed by Mike.
Relying on clever tactical command, Cai Tingyuan defeated the Southern Route Army of the Axis Powers' southern subcontinental army in one fell swoop and killed a large number of its personnel. This allowed the Southern Military Region troops of the Chinese Empire, which were originally at an absolute disadvantage, to gain a certain advantage. After a series of
After the small-scale confrontation, the two sides formed a confrontation near Alexandra Port.
Veteran Cai Tingyuan's outstanding performance in the Southern Military Region gave Fang Ruijun a sigh of relief. At least in the direction with the weakest troops, the war situation was temporarily stable. However, on the battlefield in the Central Continent, the pressure on the Imperial Army was much greater.
On the battlefield of the Central Continent, the armies of the Saar Empire, the Nantes Empire and the Boston Empire joined forces to launch an attack on the Cossack Empire and the Istan Empire from three directions. Except for the Cossack Empire, this was basically a yellow race.
The war between man and white people was also a comprehensive collision in terms of geography, race, politics, economy and military, and the main battlefield of this collision was in the Central Continent.
The battle on land is going on fiercely. Although the respective main fleets have not been dispatched at sea, some small fleets have begun quite fierce contact battles. These battles are small in scale, and whether they succeed or fail is insignificant, but the submarine attack is not.
That’s it.
Due to sufficient preparation in advance, nearly 300 submarines owned by the Axis powers have already been deployed to the Ocean of Storms, the Mediterranean Sea, and even the Southern Ocean and the Eastern Ocean. However, the situation of these submarines is not very good. Although the scientists of the Boston Empire tried their best
Research, but because it started too late, even the countries in the Western Continent have a blank when it comes to submarines, and the only reference they can make is the old Sea Wolf 1 type submarine sold by the Chinese Empire, so their development progress is very slow.
The peaceful period of vigorous development from the end of World War I to the beginning of World War II was only enough for the Bostonians to thoroughly understand the technology of the Seawolf 1 submarine and then develop a new type of submarine. This was
The performance of the new 'Mackerel' class submarine is only better than the Seawolf 1 submarine, and there is still a slight gap compared with the Seawolf 2 submarine, let alone the latest Seawolf 3 submarine.
For the Chinese Empire's escort destroyers equipped with new sonar, radar and submarine-launched rockets, finding and destroying them is a piece of cake. What's more, due to Fang Xiaoyu's foresight at the time, all islands occupied by the Chinese Empire can be destroyed as long as they have the conditions.
With the airport built and the help of water patrol aircraft that also served as anti-submarine aircraft, these submarines were in bad luck.
"A NATO allied merchant ship was discovered, estimated to have a displacement of more than 30,000 tons." The deputy captain who was operating the periscope reported excitedly. This was the first target they had discovered in three days at sea.
"Search the surroundings to see if there are escort warships." The captain suppressed his excitement and asked the deputy captain to look at the surrounding environment first to avoid being attacked by destroyers of the Chinese Navy. Since the war began, this kind of situation on the sea surface has
In the cat-and-mouse game, the Boston submarine force suffered considerable losses. Facing the advanced sonar system of the Chinese Empire, the Boston submarines were almost invisible.
After experiencing heavy losses, the Boston submarine also found some tricks. When they found a Chinese Navy destroyer nearby, they sank the submarine to the maximum depth, then turned off all equipment and left it in the water. The Boston submarine was smaller in size.
, this method has a high chance of evading sonar detection, so every time before launching an attack, the Boston submarine will first determine its own safety.
The deputy captain operated the periscope and made a 360-degree observation. "No destroyer was found. This is an unprotected merchant ship." the deputy captain reported excitedly.
"Great, pay attention to the torpedo room, prepare torpedoes No. 1 and 2, let's attack." As soon as the captain finished speaking, the noise of propellers came from the sky, and a seaplane with four engines flew slowly over.
.
"A periscope was found, initially estimated to be a Boston Navy submarine." The radar operator used downward-looking optical equipment to find the periscope on the sea surface.
