"Ah, water, water." In the coma, Qin Lei only felt that his mouth was dry, and his headache felt like being pierced by thousands of steel needles. Soon a stream of clear spring flowed from his mouth, and the sweet water moisturized his chapped lips.
It also moisturized his burning throat, Qin Lei felt much more comfortable, and he gradually regained consciousness.
Slowly opening his eyes, Qin Lei found a middle-aged man holding a cup, feeding him water bit by bit, and sitting next to him was an old man with gray beard and hair, also watching him. Looking around, Qin Lei
He found himself in a very dark place with no windows. It seemed to be a place similar to a cave, and the only bed he was lying on was the only bed in the room.
"Thank you both for your help. Where is this?" Qin Lei asked with difficulty.
The old man said: "You don't need to say thank you for a small thing. You should be from the motherland. We are all Chinese. We will save anyone from the motherland. We are still in the city now, but in the basement of my house."
Yes. I have already taken out the bullet in your leg. As long as you get more rest, it should be fine. However, I don’t have penicillin in my hand, so I’m afraid you might become inflamed.”
Qin Lei nodded and said, "Thank you very much for this old man. I don't know what to call him."
The old man sighed and said, "They all call me Mr. Qiu, you can call me that too." After saying that, the old man glanced at the middle-aged man, and the man walked out immediately.
The old man asked: "Are you a person sent by the country?"
Looking at the old man's peaceful eyes, Qin Lei nodded and said: "Yes, I belong to the special forces."
The old man smiled and stroked the beard that was scattered on his chest and said: "The special forces are good. I remember when I was a soldier under the young master, there were no special forces. At that time, we were called the Guards." As he spoke, his eyes flashed.
There was a trace of sadness that was not easy to detect.
"Guard Army? Such an early troop establishment. Now they are the exclusive force of the China Consortium and have been renamed Lanting Security Company. They are specially used to protect the consortium's overseas industries. However, everyone is still used to calling them the Guard Army." I heard that the old man
Being born in the earliest guard force of the Chinese Empire, Qin Lei felt very close to him.
Fourth Master Qiu shook his head and said: "My real name is Qiu Zhihong. I made a big mistake in the guard and was driven away. But the young master not only did not blame me, but also gave me a sum of money to support my mother. Only then did I become what I am today."
Today’s situation. Thinking about it now, I still feel guilty all the time.”
"Fourth Master Qiu, Qiu Zhihong?" Qin Lei murmured. He always felt that he had heard it before, but now he had a severe headache due to excessive blood loss, which affected his thinking ability.
"By the way, you are the head of the Zhi Gong Tang, the largest Chinese organization in the Boston Empire." Qin Lei suddenly remembered where he had heard this name. Before coming to the Boston Empire, they had read the information here. Among them, Qiu Zhihong's Zhi Gong Tang
But the most important thing is that it is the only Chinese gang that was not expelled after the war between the Chinese Empire and the Boston Empire. Because they are very strong and have good relations with many officials, the law enforcement agencies dare not touch them.
.
Qiu Zhihong smiled and said: "It's a small business, not worth mentioning, but you came here just for the purpose of assassination."
Qin Lei nodded and said: "Yes, we have to delay the reinforcements from the Bostonians to buy time for the landing at San Diego Port. I am here to assassinate Admiral Calder II. The mission has been successful, but their defending troops
The action was so fast that I didn’t have time to escape.”
Qiu Zhihong nodded and said: "Can you contact people in China? I want Zhi Gong Tang to contribute to the country."
"What?" Qin Lei said in surprise: "If this happens, your Zhi Gong Tang will be wiped out by the government, which would be a pity."
Qiu Zhihong smiled slightly and said: "For the sake of the young master, even if the public hall is completely destroyed, what's the pity. Besides, we are Chinese. If we don't help our country, how can we have the face to see our ancestors underground."
Qin Lei nodded and said: "Since Fourth Master Qiu has such intention, I will help you contact the intelligence agency's secret line. I believe there will be no problem."
At this time, the landing battle was still going on near the Port of San Diego. In order to avoid the opponent's main defensive force, Feng Ju ordered the troops to adjust the direction of attack. Due to the small area, it was difficult to deploy the troops, and the new landing troops did not continue to land at the dock.
They rushed towards the shoal area near the port. A large number of tank landing ships rushed directly to the beach. The hatch in front was quickly opened and the tanks were sent directly to the shore.
Under the attack of a large number of new weapons from the Chinese Army, the Boston Army's coastal defense forces suffered heavy losses. These soldiers were new recruits who had not been in active service for a long time. They themselves were not well trained and their combat awareness was not strong. After suffering heavy losses, they were stationed at the beach.
The Boston Army had to choose to retreat to the second line of defense to continue resisting.
After occupying the beachhead area, the landed Marines, working with their tanks, attacked the Boston troops who were resisting tenaciously in the city from the side, pushing them back several kilometers.
The dock area was completely controlled, and a large number of transport ships immediately docked, transporting heavy equipment and even land-based fighter jets to the dock. At the military airport in the Port of San Diego, engineers began to repair the airport that had been bombed earlier, preparing to allow the Imperial Chinese Air Force to
Land-based fighter jets enter.
The powerful combat effectiveness and super-fast combat speed of the Chinese Army surprised Marshal Pershing. Unexpectedly, only a few days later, the Port of San Diego fell into the hands of the Chinese Army. However, the second line of reinforcements stationed nearby fell into the hands of the Chinese Army because of the command.
Officials were killed frequently, but could not be mobilized for a long time.
The combination of the unfavorable reserve support, the underestimation of the situation, and the large number of troops deployed to support the Kingdom of Moss resulted in the success of this amphibious operation of the Chinese Empire. It can be seen that across the vast ocean
It is very difficult even for a country as powerful as the Chinese Empire to carry out amphibious operations.
The Marine Corps of the Chinese Empire has always been trained to the standards of quasi-special forces. Although their equipment is not as heavy-duty as that of the Army, it is more suitable for amphibious landing operations. In addition, the Navy has a large number of specialized amphibious warfare ships and aircraft carrier-based aircraft.
Favorable cooperation is also the guarantee for their rapid occupation of the Port of San Diego.
Marshal Pershing, who was completely surprised, originally thought that his arrangements were sufficient, but he did not expect that the landing force of the Chinese Empire was stronger than he thought. However, his arrangements were not useless. At least a large number of Boston troops were stationed on the second line.
, greatly slowed down the attack speed of the landing troops, blocking them in a small area near the Port of San Diego.
Seeing that there was still a chance of recovery, Marshal Pershing immediately ordered the garrison in the northern part of the empire to mobilize troops and rely on the Boston Empire's powerful railway system to assemble toward the port of San Diego. At the same time, he also invested most of the reserve forces.
In the opinion of Marshal Pershing, the one who was able to occupy the San Diego Port so quickly must be the main force of the Chinese army. Now that the opponent's attack direction has been determined, it is natural to strike hard and drive them into the sea. At the same time, Marshal Pershing still has the opportunity to rely on
The land-based aviation force wanted to attack the Eastern Ocean Fleet, but he did not notice that the Northern Group led by Zhang Haiyang was quietly moving towards the Boston coastline.
The Southern Group commanded by Feng Ju transported a large number of marines to the shore. With the support of heavy firepower, the more than 100,000 marines who landed quickly advanced inland. They quickly broke through the temporary defense line arranged by the San Diego defenders and penetrated deep into Boston.
The territory of the empire is more than fifty kilometers.
It was not until the opponent's reinforcements arrived that the Marine Corps shifted to defense due to lack of troops. However, after this period of offensive, the Marine Corps has controlled the vast area from San Clemente to Mexicali. For the landing,
It is enough for the troops.
The engineering troops of the Chinese Army began to build a large number of airports in the controlled areas. Land-based fighter jets loaded on transport ships soon stationed at these airports. They will be responsible for guarding the skies on the Marine Corps battlefield. In addition, more troops and heavy equipment are also flowing in.
They are constantly being sent by transport fleets, which effectively guarantee the combat needs of the Marine Corps.
After receiving the signal that Feng Ju's landing was successful, the transport fleet on standby in the Oahu Islands set sail and headed east. This is a larger transport fleet. They will carry 200,000 troops and a large amount of heavy equipment.
When arriving at the San Diego Military Port, one hundred and fifty of the latest model Behemoth 3 transport aircraft from major airports took off and flew towards the San Diego Port.
The Behemoth 2 transport aircraft equipped by the Chinese Empire before the war was a jet-powered four-engine heavy transport aircraft. Although that bomber was already the most advanced in the world, Fang Ruijun was not satisfied because it could only carry four bombs at a time.
Ten tons of supplies, according to Fang Xiaoyu's original words, this can only be regarded as a medium-sized transport aircraft.
Under Fang Ruijun's attention, the new Behemoth 3 transport aircraft was finally successfully developed before the war, and was quickly equipped with several transport aircraft wings of the Guards.
Fang Ruijun was largely responsible for the successful development of the Behemoth 3 transport aircraft. It was because of his hard work that Feng Jingru finally relented and sent him a 15,000-horsepower turboprop engine.
The full name of a turboprop engine is a turboprop engine. Its driving principle is roughly the same as that of a traditional propeller aircraft that uses a piston engine as its power source, except that its power source is a gas turbine. The main difference between the two engines is the power that drives the central axis of the propeller.
In addition to the different sources, there is also the fact that the propeller of a turboprop engine usually runs at a constant speed, while the propeller of a piston power will vary in speed according to the engine speed.
