Chapter Five Hundred and Twenty Six: The Price of Arrogance
"Ignore these yellow-skinned monkeys, they are just paper tigers, speed up." The yellow-haired and green-eyed ghost captain yelled. He was also startled by the sound of the Empire's artillery, but later he discovered that the Empire had *
The *ship just fired its cannons into the sky, so he became even bolder and ordered into the intercom with a look of contempt on his face.
"Oh no, Captain, the Imperial Ship has launched a torpedo!" On the mast, the ghost guy responsible for observation screamed in a stern voice to the self-righteous yellow-haired, green-eyed ghost captain.
The old ghost captain with yellow hair and green eyes was bragging proudly to his subordinates with contempt on his face: how brave he was and how cowardly the Imperial people were.
However, the internal sound transmission system was very embarrassing. The extremely discordant voice from the observation post came from the observation post, which made him feel shocked. However, he still held up the phone in disbelief and howled: "Why are you panic? The Imperial people are...
If you don’t have the guts to offend us, you must be wrong; we, the John Bull Empire people, must behave like gentlemen, so that the sky will not fall!”
After he finished howling in mourning, he slowly and leisurely held the telescope and looked in the direction of the Imperial Ship.
"Oh no, Captain, it's really a torpedo!" The first mate standing in front of the observation window shouted to the captain with a pale face. And after he finished speaking, he rushed out of the control room like a whirlwind and headed towards
He ran away from the side of the freighter, and he wanted to let go of the boat and escape on his own.
The captain with yellow hair and green eyes noticed two huge white waves in the seawater before his glasses reached his eyes, extending rapidly from the direction of the Imperial Ship towards his freighter: "Full right rudder...
..." When he discovered that it was a real torpedo trace, he jumped to his feet and howled. Unfortunately, there was no one around him at this time, and everyone fled for their lives.
Seeing that no matter how hard the freighter tried to dodge, it was too late to escape. The captain with yellow hair and green eyes sat down on the deck and murmured: "How could this happen? How could this happen? Are all the people in the Empire crazy? Are they?
Aren’t you afraid of the revenge of the John Bull Empire and that powerful royal fleet?”
Suddenly, as if he had been electrocuted, he jumped up and rolled towards the deck. He was also preparing to escape. At this time, Captain Huang Mao no longer paid attention to the gentlemanly manners and ran away.
His appearance. Even pigs and dogs are more graceful than him.
Unfortunately, no matter how fast he was, he could not reach the speed of the torpedoes. The two giant torpedoes hit the right tail fin of the freighter firmly. The wooden freighter could not withstand the huge penetrating power.
"Boom..." As a dull explosion sounded, the freighter was instantly torn to pieces from the bottom. For a moment, shrapnel and sawdust flew across the ship, and the huge shock wave generated by the explosion even tore away the cargo and human bodies on the ship.
All were thrown onto the sea dozens of meters away.
On the John Bull ship that had stalled and surrendered, all the ghosts looked at what was happening in front of them in horror. While they marveled at the strength of the Imperial people and were shocked at the misery of their compatriots, they also secretly rejoiced that for the wisdom of the entire ship, it was better to live and die miserably.
ah!
In fact, the reason why the John Bull people were able to see the torpedo traces was mainly because the Imperial torpedo ships did not use artillery accelerators and did not use oxygen torpedoes. Instead, they used steam gas torpedoes that the Empire had eliminated. Although the speed could reach 50 high speeds,
The obvious wandering is its biggest flaw.
Because when they set out, Ye Chen and the others considered the possibility of firing in front of civilian ships, so in order to keep it secret, some obsolete torpedoes like these were taken out for backup.
Nearly a thousand tons of explosive bombs exploded on the bottom of the wooden ship. The consequences were of course serious. The surrendered ship was originally prepared to flee depending on the situation. But after seeing the miserable end of its compatriots, it obediently cooperated with the imperial soldiers.
Ship control operations.
Sometimes, the role of role models is powerful. With the example of the yellow-haired and green-eyed captain whose freighter was bombed, no one with a blind eye will dare to resist and escape...
"D2, d2, I am the vanguard 'clearance team'. The shoals and the outer edges of the harbor have been cleared. Please ask d2 to block the harbor and shoal waters so that the landing plan can be implemented. Report completed!"
"D2 received it, please ask the vanguard 'clearance team' to block the outer sea area, and our fleet is preparing to land. Please note that our fleet will implement shoal landing."
"D2 aircraft carrier aircraft formation, please pay attention. I am Ye Chen. Please immediately carry out escort, bombing, reconnaissance and other missions. Please immediately carry out escort, bombing, reconnaissance and other missions."
"Reporting to the commander, I am the D2 Xiaolong detachment. Our troops have sent formations to the enemy's airfields, seaports, and military targets near the shoals, and reconnaissance aircraft are in place." The host of the Xiaolong D2 formation replied to Ye Chen.
At the same time, the host called each air force formation: "Every squad, please pay attention. Each squad, please pay attention. Your target plan was provided by the Imperial Dragon. Some of it has been verified, but some of it has not been verified by ground intelligence personnel.
Therefore, when attacking, please pay close attention to the enemy's first target and hidden targets, and be sure to achieve coordination between the lead aircraft and the wingman."
"All landing units, please note that our reconnaissance formation has not found any military targets near the shoals. The landing plan can be implemented, but please pay attention to underwater safety and hidden targets in the shoals."
"Bomber formation received."
"Bombing enemy airport formation received."
"We are the landing fleet. Thank you to the brothers of the reconnaissance aircraft formation. Don't worry, this is a civilian harbor, and Sam will not place mines. - However, there may be submarines underwater. But this is not possible under our advanced passive voice
There is nothing to hide from in front of you, haha..."
The report of the reconnaissance aircraft formation received timely responses from different imperial formations and fleets. Of course, the majority of the reconnaissance aircraft formation was based on information provided by the Shenlong and verified by the Australian Empire's ground intelligence personnel. This time, the reconnaissance aircraft formation was
The aircraft formation is only a verification of the new timeliness.
Due to Australia's extremely special geography, the only areas with convenient transportation are coastal areas, and most of its central areas are deserts. The Darwin area in the north was still relatively backward at this time, and it would have been possible if gold mines had not been discovered.
, it is estimated that it will be even more depressed.
Therefore, Uncle Sam did not send a large number of troops to station in this area, but only sent a standard regiment of 2,000 people. In addition, there was an independent regiment of 3,000 people from Australia. In Dewey's opinion, the Chinese Empire would not attack
It has no military significance and was inspired by Darwin.
Unexpectedly, the empire's goal in the war against AO was only to attract Uncle Sam's country to continuously invest troops, with the guiding ideology of making Uncle Sam's country plunge into AO. In this way, Dewey, who thought he knew the empire well, was bored.
deficit.
"No... not good, Commander!" In a military camp more than ten kilometers away from Darwin's commercial port, Chauvin, the commander of the AO Independent Regiment, and Lewis, the commander of Uncle Sam's Standard Regiment, were in Chauvin's office
, were having a heated discussion about the sudden arrival of the Chinese Empire in Kittshavn, when a man's panicked shouting suddenly rang out in the corridor of the office.
Due to the large number of troops in the AO, the Darwin Military Base is temporarily led by Chauvin. This time, Chauvin means to assign two battalions of troops to build a large number of fortifications in the shoals and commercial ports to strengthen the security of these vulnerable areas.
Defense capabilities.
However, Lewis believed that Darwin had no important military value and the empire would never attack it. A regiment of troops should be sent from here to reinforce the Kitzport defense line. Because the military value there is the highest and it is most needed.
A place to hold on to.
However, Chauvin had diametrically opposed opinions. Therefore, the two had been quarreling ever since they received the news of the Empire's attack on Kitzport, and neither could convince the other. At this time, an obviously panicked voice came from the corridor.
The shouts of the disgraceful people with a changed tone...
Chauvin knew that this was the voice of his outside battalion commander Gill. But Gill's voice made Chauvin feel a very bad feeling in his heart. It made his blood pressure rise and his eyesight went dark. Because, when Gill made a different voice,
At the same time, Chauvin also heard the sound of objects hitting one after another in the corridor.
The soldier's keen hearing told him that this was the sound of Gill hitting the trash can in the corridor and the bodies of other soldiers. The main reason why he felt bad was because he knew the character of his subordinate Gill.
They are famous for being calm and steady.
——But Jill, who has always been steady, was actually panicked to the point of losing his composure. This shows how serious what Jill was about to report was!
Sure enough, when Gil made a "bang" sound, he opened the office door with great force. With bloodshot eyes full of fear and a pale face, he stammered and reported to Chauvin: "Emperor...Emperor*
*Air raid on my forward position!" Chauvin's bad premonition came true.
"Don't panic, please tell me more clearly what's going on." Shavin barely suppressed the strong and uneasy emotions in his heart and said to Jill in a loud voice.
"You...you should go out and look at the sky!" Jill swallowed the vomit with a "gudong" sound, rushed to the curtains, and opened the curtains with a "crash". The strong light filled the air instantly.
The whole room made people inside couldn't help but squint their eyes.
But when people finally adapted to the light, they suddenly discovered that there were countless small black spots in the sky that were getting bigger and bigger.
"Oh God! What is all this?" Lewis screamed in panic.
"It's over, they are all Imperial fighter planes. The Imperials are really attacking us!" Chauvin snatched the telescope of a staff officer beside him and murmured with dull eyes. Because, from the telescope, he could clearly see that the sky was
The fleet is an imperial fighter plane with a special dragon-shaped mark. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
