More than 100,000 people from the Ninth Corps besieged the 1st Marine Division, and the impact was quite huge. After the U.S. military discovered that its powerful force was likely to suffer heavy losses, it immediately took the initiative to arrange for its withdrawal from the battlefield. In order to complete this task, the U.S. military mobilized
A huge naval fleet.
When Zhou Qingfeng drove his IS-7 to the seaside of Xingnan Port and crossed the Chengchuan River with the help of the frozen river due to dry water in winter, he immediately saw dozens of warships floating on the sea under the moonlight.
"What a huge navy! It's really enviable." Zhou Qingfeng had to sigh at this. The Yankees' navy was powerful enough to defeat the whole world. Even the heyday of the Mao Xiong could not compare with it.
Just sighing and sighing, after briefly identifying the models of the ships, Zhou Qingfeng stared at several flat-top boats floating on the sea - US military aircraft carriers.
When the war was at its most intense, there were seven aircraft carriers outside South Harbor, and now Zhou Qingfeng saw three. It was impossible to distinguish the specific ship numbers in the dark, but this did not prevent him from immediately making the enemy aircraft carrier his first target tonight.
Killing the US aircraft carrier is probably the biggest dream of all Chinese military fans in later generations. Thinking about the super warships that show off their power and roam the world, the PLA Navy is really envious and jealous. But now Zhou Qingfeng has the opportunity to shoot a few rounds at these behemoths.
Because naval guns are based on warships, their power, range, and rate of fire of the same caliber are far higher than those of army artillery. The IS-7 cannon is modified from a naval gun. Although it is not as powerful as the original naval gun, it is
It can still easily obtain a range of more than ten kilometers.
The warships parked on the sea were simply the most ideal artillery targets. Zhou Qingfeng could not restrain his excitement at all and immediately ordered the range measurement of the aircraft carriers on the sea. Three tanks corresponded to three aircraft carriers, which was just right.
Although the IS-7's firepower is powerful, it is obviously impossible to directly kill an aircraft carrier of tens of thousands of tons. But as long as it can smash a few holes in the deck of the aircraft carrier, it is enough for these big guys to go back and repair for a few months.
The intensity of U.S. military air strikes will definitely decrease significantly at this time.
You must know that this is a great benefit to the Ninth Corps of the Volunteer Army, which is stuck in a bitter battle. However, this blow will be fatal, and it cannot just hit a few ships. So Zhou Qingfeng called his fast column and told them two things.
The first thing is to detach a company to raid Lianpu Airport located to the west of Xingnan Port. This airport has a large number of transport aircraft and fighter jets, and is the key point for the US military to provide close support to the 1st Marine Division. The person responsible for leading the team and guiding the team has been recruited by Zhou
Which U.S. military front-line aviation controller Qingfeng pulled aboard the pirate ship?
The second thing was that the remaining two companies crossed the frozen river and entered Xingnan Port to carry out sabotage. They also raided the US artillery position in the port from behind, opening a gap for the follow-up troops to advance. While the two things were going on, naturally
The three IS-7s that had completed the range measurement kept firing.
"Perform the mission according to our plan." Zhou Qingfeng dispatched the people of the fast column, but he knew that most of the more than 300 people in this team would be killed or injured in the next battle. After all, the enemy forces in Xingnan Port were
They are far outnumbered.
But no one complained, and everyone obeyed the order silently. The vehicles of the fast column left one after another and rushed to their respective goals. Zhou Qingfeng once again contacted the two regiments in the rear who were beating up the US Third Division, and informed them to follow quickly.
It depends on whether we can rush into Xingnan Port and make a fortune.
"Prepare semi-armor-piercing grenades." Zhou Qingfeng ordered, including a total of seven rounds in the chamber and bomb delivery rack. There will be seven bursts later, striving to produce the strongest firepower in a short time. And semi-armor-piercing grenades
It has certain armor-piercing capabilities, but I don’t know if it can penetrate the deck of an aircraft carrier?
"Measuring the distance, it's about 7.4 kilometers. Use high-throw ballistics to hoist the aircraft carrier's take-off deck." Zhou Qingfeng used a telescope to give the approximate distance, and the tank's optical rangefinder gave a similar number. The electromechanical ballistics
After the computer calculation is completed, the fire control elements are set and entered manually.
Zhou Qingfeng controlled the actions of the entire column through the radio until everything was ready. He took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Fire!"
Boom..., the three IS-7s on the coast raised their muzzles high, and the thick main guns sprayed out orange-red flames several meters long at night. In order to shoot long-distance targets, the shelling used full charges, striving to achieve maximum results.
power.
At this moment, Major General Smith had just landed on the USS Wright aircraft carrier in a helicopter. This is an 'Essex' class fleet aircraft carrier and is currently the most powerful combat weapon in the world.
The Major General had just stepped onto the deck, and the marines on the ship were stepping forward to greet him. At this time... the bombardment came!
At a distance of more than seven kilometers, it took nearly half a minute to hear the sound of the shelling, but the dazzling flames of the shelling were very obvious. A large number of people on the entire sea saw this scene, and Major General Smith was also surprised.
However, the second dazzling light followed closely, followed by the third and fourth rounds. The flying speed of the 130mm shell was nearly three times faster than the speed of sound propagation. When the third shot popped out of the chamber,
The first shell had already flown in a parabolic trajectory and accurately landed on the main deck of the 'Wright'.
"Be careful of bombardment!" As the heavy artillery approached, Rear Admiral Smith finally realized what the dazzling light on the coast was. He shouted loudly and tried to remind the people on the deck, but the personnel on the aircraft carrier were all confused. No one expected this seemingly quiet night.
He actually hid a murderous intention.
A loud bang exploded on the "Wright", and a hot erupting flame appeared on the flight deck, which was less than 40 millimeters thick. The flame emerged from below the deck, releasing its power in the form of splash.
Unlike later aircraft carriers equipped with jet fighters, the 'Essex' class aircraft carriers take off propeller-driven fighters, and the thickness of their decks is really limited. The semi-armor-piercing grenade just penetrated the armor and exploded into the hangar on the next floor, leaving a narrow space.
It only adds to its ferocious power.
At this moment, night fighter jets were preparing to take off on the flight deck, and fuel and ammunition were placed on the deck. The violent explosion made the aircrew on the deck panic. They still couldn't figure out where the explosion came from, but they immediately shouted:
: "Push the ammunition into the sea, it's not safe on the deck."
But it was too late to say anything at this time. The IS-7 with a semi-automatic loader had already fired seven rounds in a row. The shells began to fall on the huge aircraft carrier deck in less than ten seconds. Such a big target, I really want to
It's hard to miss.
When Zhou Qingfeng's IS-7 fired seven rounds, he immediately ordered the driver to leave the bombardment position. The driver asked him: "Platoon leader, don't you always say that you want to confront the US military head-on, don't be cowardly? We are also naval guns.
, keep fighting!”
Zhou Qingfeng was so angry that his mouth was filled with smoke, and he cursed loudly: "Idiot, when did I say this? Run away quickly, or the retaliatory bombardment from the US escort warship will come."
Just as Zhou Qingfeng quickly avoided the swaying turret, fireworks suddenly exploded on the sea in the distance, lighting up the night sky. Suddenly, an extremely huge fireball appeared on the aircraft carrier in the distance, which could be clearly seen without a telescope.
arrive.
There was no sound for the time being from the beach, and Zhou Qingfeng could only watch the fireball rising in the distance coldly, like burning clouds reflecting the night sky, and it also reflected on his face.
"What did we hit?" Zhou Qingfeng stared blankly. It took more than 20 seconds before he heard a loud explosion in the distance.
The air was shaking, the sea was boiling, and the heavy bombs and aviation gasoline being loaded on the flight deck of the USS Wright were detonated, and flames shot into the sky!
