It was bustling when we set out, but deserted when we came back. When Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu flew back to Cancun Airport in Mexico alone, the ground staff and command staff at the airport were shocked by this cruel fact.
Before Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu came back, he had already informed Cancun of the encounter of his fleet via radio. The Mexican Air Force personnel at the airport thought that their ace pilot was joking - eight planes went out and only one came back. Are you kidding?
me?
In order to ensure the safety of Lieutenant Colonel Yixiu, Cancun Airport specially sent two fighter planes to take off to escort him. One was for fear of the Aurora Legion's aerial pursuit, and the other was to verify the facts. As a result, only one fighter plane flew back now.
.
"Where are the other fighters?" General Blücher, commander of the Cancun garrison, learned of the situation and hurried over from his headquarters. Such a heavy loss meant that the balance of power between the two sides had reversed.
Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu was in a low mood at the moment. He was no longer young and fell on the armchair in the pilot lounge of the airport. He said feebly: "There are major deficiencies in our intelligence work. The enemy is equipped with large medium-range anti-aircraft missiles, but we
Not clear at all.
Moreover, the opponent has a fighter force with good technology that has entered the battle, and we have no news about it. The next step is not that we can't carry out air strikes, but that we have to worry about being attacked by air strikes. We must make corresponding changes."
Lieutenant Colonel Yi Xiu's words made General Blücher very uneasy. He led a fleet to Cancun about two years ago. At that time, everyone was relatively low-income, and they could not find suitable warships and could only retrofit steam power.
Even with the use of steam battleships, General Blücher gave full play to his abilities and forced Zhou Qingfeng, who was not yet firmly on his feet at the time, to do nothing.
In order to deal with the Cancun fleet, the commander of the army had to personally lead a team to sneak into the Yucatan Peninsula where Cancun is located, pretend to be the governor, and control the city of Merida before curbing the operations of the Cancun fleet.
But now with the recovery of the Enclave's strength, the support for the Cancun fleet is greatly different. The steam battleships in the hands of General Blücher have long been thrown into the trash can, and he controls three 'Perry' class frigates.
Originally, the Diego regime in Mexico wanted the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, but the Enclave refused to let go of the more advanced destroyers because these warships would probably not be replenished for decades to come.
Won't give it.
However, General Blücher is very satisfied with the three second-hand warships. Although the Perry class is a bit old, it is also a powerful weapon that can dominate the ocean. Since acquiring these three warships, His Excellency the General has been
Recruit officers and sailors for training.
It only takes two or three months of training for an infantryman to be decent, and two years of hard work can turn a company from a rookie into an elite soldier. But the construction of the navy is too difficult. It takes about three or four years from the launch of a warship to the formation of an army.
In 2006, the construction of the naval base even took more than ten years.
General Blücher tried his best to hold back for more than a year before his three warships could sail out without capsizing. However, the training in some technical positions was insufficient, and too complicated tactics were completely impossible. But this was enough.
Much more powerful than the bunch of coastal boats built by Zhou Qingfeng.
The Enclave changed its foreign policy and squeezed the Aurora Legion's living space. General Blücher, who was stationed in Cancun, became the vanguard in implementing this policy. He sent his warships to the sea off Havana, and paralyzed the port with a small attempt.
.
Next, General Blücher sent out air power to continuously attack the city of Havana, intending to weaken the morale of the Aurora Legion. As long as this kind of inexpensive suppression continues for a period of time, the Aurora Legion itself will be unable to bear it and collapse from within.
.
General Blücher was still waiting to take advantage, but this wonderful plan only lasted for a week before it collapsed - the Aurora Legion had an air force with good combat effectiveness, which everyone could accept, but they actually had large anti-aircraft missiles
?
You must know that General Blücher also had a "Patriot 3" anti-aircraft missile unit at that time. However, it was not long before this unit consumed so much daily that it could not guarantee the supply of fuel for power generation every day. In the end, it ended up doing nothing all day long.
It fell apart.
Realizing that the situation had changed, General Blücher immediately contacted the Enclave and asked to use the 'mole' hidden within the Aurora Legion to confirm the news. As a result, the corresponding information was not sent back until two days later - the Aurora Legion had completed its African strategy.
There is likely a new source of equipment.
Nope..., just such a simple sentence?
General Blücher's lungs were about to burst with anger. He did not mention the specific equipment, nor the quantity, nor the combat readiness. He smashed the table in his office several times, furious, "Wait a minute.
What’s the use of reminding us after we’ve suffered a loss, and the words are unclear?”
The Enclave's intelligence department later sent an explanation, saying that due to the recent attack, Havana has implemented strict military control. The 'Mole' hidden within the Aurora Legion has become difficult to move, and the top brass of the Legion seems to have noticed something. The number one 'Mole'
Rat' recently refused contact.
"What big thing can a bunch of spies accomplish?" General Blücher calmed down and calmly called his staff, "Let the air strikes be suspended. We cannot afford such huge losses in equipment and personnel. But we should also
Immediately use the navy to retaliate.
I ordered our three warships to attack Havana. Didn't Lieutenant Colonel Ixiu mention that his fleet might be discovered before it gets close to Havana?
The Aurora Corps probably has corresponding aerial reconnaissance equipment in operation, allowing warships to go out and test it. If possible, knock out Havana's surveillance eye and approach the port for bombardment.
The Aurora Legion should be happy with the establishment of their own air defense circle. Hum... we just want to destroy their confidence."
Your Excellency, the general, was still confident. The staff members took the order and immediately arranged a specific battle plan. In fact, this simple task did not require any special planning. The navy of the Aurora Corps was either a small gunboat or a torpedo boat. It was almost impossible to deal with the thousands of tons of frigates.
No threat.
At the port of Cancun, the Perry-class frigate USS Brooke quickly received an order from the commander to immediately launch an attack on Havana Port, destroy its air defense system, and retaliate by shelling the port at close range.
"Bastards, we have work to do again." After receiving the order from the communications officer, Captain Harrington, the captain of the Brooke, loudly ordered from the bridge: "Let the two Pegasus ships training outside the harbor
The next level is coming to us, and we are going to Havana again.
To be honest, I can’t wait to set foot on that land. The name of the ‘Cat’s Claw’ club already makes me feel itchy. Tell me, do you feel itchy?”
When the officer shouted, the officers and soldiers below were not enthusiastic and excited. For a moment, the entire warship sounded "whoop!"
