Chapter 1394 Global War (Third Update, please subscribe)

What is a global war?

It is that the war is definitely not started in a certain place, just like the empire declared war on the United States. According to the military's combat plan, the battle is not limited to the sea, but more importantly, the land offensive.

Almost at the same time that the Mobile Fleet entered the scheduled take-off point, at the other end of the continent - in a valley of the Rocky Mountains in the North Sea Governor's District of the Empire, dozens of large airships crowded the entire valley.

The roar of the engine resounded throughout the valley. These airships were obviously different from ordinary airships—two planes with wings spread were suspended below the huge airship cabin.

But the plane doesn't have an engine, it's a glider.

Below the glider is the Assault Corps waiting to board.

"The goal of this mission is to land directly on the Nierbe Fortress. This is the key to the success of this mission. If it cannot successfully occupy the fortress and capture the defenders of the fortress, then the entire operation will be declared a failure..."

In the nearby wooden warehouses, the commanders of the assault corps were standing above the detachment, and the officers were making the final battle arrangement.Receive the combat map and task book.As early as the beginning of the formulation of the "Great Thunderstorm Operation Plan", the combat mission of capturing the fortress was to open up the Juan de Fuca Strait.

The Strait of Juan de Fuca is a large 153-kilometer (95-mile) long waterway that serves as the main outlet to the Pacific Ocean from the Strait of Georgia and the Puget Sound, as well as from the Imperial Governorate of the North Sea to the Pacific Ocean.

Almost 20 years ago, in order to curb the expansion of the empire, the Americans built the Nierbe Fortress at the entrance of the strait. The fortress was equipped with multiple coastal heavy artillery of 300mm or more. Once a war broke out, the fortress heavy artillery could block the strait and contain the Imperial ships sailed in and out of the strait, thereby weakening the Empire's power in the north.It is precisely because of this that capturing the fortress has become the top priority of the northern operations.

This battle is not only related to the success or failure of the northern part of the empire, but even the ownership of the entire northern territory.

The sky above the valley is full of stars, just before departure.The assault corps used the last few hours to make the necessary preparations.After writing their suicide notes, these commandos who became famous in World War I in the "Battle of Peru" listened to the final instructions of the officers,
Then I checked the equipment for the last time, rifles, pistols, grenades, ammunition, and first aid kits, field food, combat maps... In short, all materials needed for combat must be brought. Of course, they also carried a lot of explosives-according to the raid mission It is required that they try to blow up the artillery of the fortress during the raid, so that even if the mission fails, the fortress can be guaranteed to be useless.

When the hour hand pointed to four o'clock, although it was not yet dawn, the troops on standby began to eat breakfast. Many of them knew that this might be the last breakfast in their lives.

After all, war always comes with death.

And what about commandos?

It is to fight in the encirclement!

Half an hour later, at 4:30 ET, 1072 officers and soldiers of the Imperial Assault Corps began boarding the glider.The dark-faced commandos always smile at the cameras of the military reporters when they board the plane. Although many of them try to keep their expressions solemn, they still smile habitually when facing the cameras .

However, no one will doubt their determination to complete the task!

The photographers accompanying the army are also busy. They faithfully recorded the expressions of the soldiers with the cameras in their hands.
At 21 o'clock on April [-]st, the commandos who entered the glider sat on canvas seats, praying silently in their hearts...

Praying for the next "action"!

The entire valley was torn apart by the roar of the engine...

At [-] o'clock Eastern Time, a huge group of airships flew over Tianya Island (Vancouver Island). When they arrived, the troops encountered gusts of wind.The airship began to shake, and the glider mounted under the cabin also began to bump up and down and swing left and right.The pilot in the glider kept watching the ground, preparing to leave the airship at any time.

In the shaky glider cabin, the heavily armed commandos seemed a little nervous, with serious eyes, they were either smoking or meditating.Standing in the aisle of the cabin, Sun Qichen, the leader of the second squadron, began to make the final mobilization.

"Brothers, everyone already knows the importance of this mission. It is not only related to the victory of the Empire's northern battlefield, but also to the ownership of the Northern Territory. If we fail, we will not only lose the battle, but even the Northern Territory. The 800 million compatriots in the territory have fallen into the enemy's hands... Well, brothers, as your captain, I hope that everyone will do their duty in this battle! Do your duty, this is not only the duty of soldiers, but also our mission!... Wish Good luck everyone!"

After a simple mobilization, the captain also sat down on his seat again. Although the sun hadn't come out, they could see the expressions of the brothers through the light of the stars and the moon. Everyone's expressions were similarly serious and dignified.

In this silence, Sun Qichen turned his head and looked out the window, the strait was right in front of them—the boats had already passed Tianya Island, and they were about to reach their target.

What time is it now?

Sun Qichen looked at his watch. It was [-]:[-] in the morning, which was Eastern Time. According to Western Time, it was only four o'clock in the morning.

"What is our height?"

The captain of the airship asked the co-pilot.

"One thousand and one hundred meters!"

"How far is it from the target?"

……

Finally, when the captain was about to approach the target, the captain pressed the button, and when the green light was turned on inside the glider, the glider pilots knew that it was up to them to do so.

"Release the glider!"

At an altitude of 800 meters, assault gliders were released from under the airship like elves in the dark night.

The pilot of the pilot glider drove the glider to keep the plane as stable as possible. Not long after leaving the airship, the roar of the engines around the fuselage gradually subsided.There was silence all around, in this strange silence.The glider, like a night elf, passed through the dark night sky, gliding steadily towards the target.

There is no sound, no movement, this is the biggest feature of the glider assault.Despite the heavy twilight, the pilot of the pilot glider still saw the fortress on the cape peninsula, entered a horizontal state after diving, and then made a [-]-degree turn to the right, aiming to fly above the fortress.

Gazing at the dark night outside the cabin, driving the glider on the road, and glanced at the striped white line on the coast of Hidden Sea, which is the foam of the waves lapping on the shore, and their goal is above.To get as close to the fort as possible.His glider pulled up the fuselage.

He successfully drove the glider at an altitude of 100 meters and began to dive rapidly. In his sight, the ground suddenly bulged, and the fields and trees below moved rapidly backward at a speed of hundreds of kilometers per hour.

"Prepare"

With a shout, Lu Chenggong turned on the green light for landing.

The moment the green light turned on, Sun Qichen held his breath and shouted loudly.

"Hold tight!"

The two rows of commandos sitting in the cabin of the glider sat entangled with each other with their arms and feet off the ground, waiting for the impending impact.

　The old group is dead, and a new book friend group: 739209015 is welcome to join, discuss the plot together, and deduce the plot.
