Chapter 247: The Chronicle of the Mercenaries Landing at Pearl Harbor
November 10, United States, Hawaii, Pearl Harbor——
Kalman and Hans are good friends in an infantry battalion of the mercenary team "Trident". In this battle against Hawaii, they were assigned to a landing force aboard a landing ship disguised as a passenger ship.
They felt that this should be the unit with the highest casualties, and they were somewhat unlucky. However, due to the nature of their work, they would not be deserters, and were prepared to sacrifice at any time, but——
"Oh! Another guided missile destroyer has sunk. Has this country's hegemony come to an end?"
"Don't get too excited, man. The base in front of us hasn't been completely suppressed yet."
The moment he heard Hans's voice and saw the U.S. anti-tank missiles being launched from the opposite side, Kalman immediately bent down and hid behind the tank accompanying them to cover their advance.
"Boom!" The anti-tank missile exploded violently on the black-painted turret, but the tank was unscathed.
It was so dangerous. If I hadn't bent down, I might have been affected by the explosion.
In fact, mercenaries were not completely free of casualties.
Kalman and Hans used the tank as a cover and fired at the opposite side to assist in suppressing fire as much as possible.
The tank turret rotated slightly, the coaxial machine gun spit out tongues of flame, and the main gun then sprayed fire toward the opposite side.
A reinforced concrete bunker opposite was so silent.
Of course, the U.S. military's counterattack would not stop because of this. From time to time, "dinging, clanking" ricochet sparks and explosions were shot out from the tanks, but they did not appear to be damaged, and they advanced steadily with the tanks everywhere on the entire front.
The M1A1 main battle tank driven by the US Marine Corps is a terrifying behemoth in front of a large group of five pairs of road-wheeled combat vehicles and Sherman tanks. The tank that was penetrated by depleted uranium bullets still seemed uninjured.
After firing back, each US tank was completely covered in black and instantly misfired.
Main battle tanks perform like this, let alone those armored vehicles.
Unknowingly, there were more companions in the armored force. Those dumb US tanks and armored vehicles were covered with mercenary flags and turned around to join the attack.
Kalman: "How about we grab one and drive it?"
Hans: "I will not do anything that violates the combat missions currently assigned to us."
From time to time, large artillery shells with a caliber of hundreds of millimeters that have never been seen in this era flew overhead, setting off large explosions like earthquakes at other military-related facilities deeper on the island.
Although stray bullets still flew over their heads and around them from time to time, they had smiles on their faces at this time. This is basically equal to winning, right?
They even went on to chat about weapons that were not theirs.
"Hans, our main tanks should be the old Sherman, the early Patton, the Centurion tank and the T-34, T-54/55, right? Although they are still in active service in some countries, these should be
The weapons and equipment have also been replaced. The main gun should indeed be strong enough, but is the armor so durable? Your country was equipped with it during the Cold War. Do you know anything?"
"I don't know, and there is no reactive armor installed. I am very concerned about the fact that the tracer bullets of this machine gun are purple. Which country's machine guns use this kind of tracer bullets?"
The tank ran over the barbed wire fence and knocked down the bunker. When they followed up, they found that many of the American soldiers lying on the ground seemed to be unconscious.
"What to do? Prisoners?"
"We are a commando team, this is not our responsibility."
For some reason, the punishment for executing prisoners without authorization in this battle was quite strict. Perhaps the purpose of the battle was a coup rather than the destruction of the country. Although the superiors would probably not know about the secret killing, I still don’t want to be punished like a supernatural phenomenon.
Saw it for the second time.
They unloaded their weapons and put them on the tanks and continued moving forward.
Suddenly, the tank in front stopped and began to turn.
Kalman and Hans, who adjusted their pace to maintain their own safety, saw a large crater several meters deep and even a tank would feel spacious with an armored body inside.
"Is this the mark made by the large-caliber naval gun that is supporting the artillery attack on the other side?"
"Yes, looking at the appearance, I think they are all old ships. Although some anti-ship missile launchers have been temporarily installed, in terms of price, cost and visual deterrence, large-caliber artillery shells are still stronger."
"Speaking of which, a battlecruiser whose main firepower was naval guns easily defeated a guided-missile destroyer, and also annihilated the naval aviation. The generation gap is so big, but the victory was so easy. Is it really no problem?"
I don’t know if he opened his mouth or not, but in several places on the battlefield, some dark-painted tanks of the mercenary military exploded one after another. The burning tanks were smashed to pieces. The entire turret flew up, and the swaying purple-black flames fell to the ground and quickly connected with the tanks.
Burn together.
Although this phenomenon caused a little panic in the actions of a small group of mercenary soldiers near the explosion, they immediately looked for nearby bunkers and accompanying vehicles. In war, it is normal for the enemy to destroy one's own tanks. It is better to say that the war has been going on for such a long time.
It's strange that the world's most powerful army only lost a dozen tanks.
The losses of the black armored army were all the work of the "Scarlet Sunshine" magicians that Bai Dewei arranged throughout Hawaii. But they had no chance to expand their results, and they were immediately entangled by a larger number of magicians.
They are the large number of magicians in "Darkness Before Dawn" and "Dawn in the Snowfield".
The fighting will not stop until all American flags in the Hawaiian Islands are lowered.

The large transport plane that the president is traveling on is parked on the sea.
However, it is not safe here. Although it is very simple to order a seaplane or speedboat to rescue as the president, it is obviously impossible when the war is raging on the shore, and there is no risk of being shot down and sunk during the return trip.
Just when they were considering letting Accelerator and Misaka Mikoto take people with the flying ability derived from their abilities, a ship was broadcasting in English and approaching their plane.
"What are they talking about?" Touma asked, who didn't understand English.
"They thought this plane was a US military fighter jet that was shot down in battle, and they are calling for surrender." Mikoto relayed as a translator.
"Fletcher-class destroyer." President Robert tapped the "Empire Center" he carried with him - a laptop that can exercise the presidential power system, and said, "This type of battleship was a large-scale destroyer built during World War II. It has been completely dismantled and converted.
It was sold to another country. It is estimated that mercenaries purchased the ship. This terrorist attack... No, the enemy fleet in this war is all old ships that were in large numbers in the middle of the last century."
Bai Dewei: "That was the USS DD-479 Stevens, which was sunk in 1948, but the actual battle record must have been tampered with."
