The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

The navy retreated cleanly, and the army, led by Lieutenant General Short, tenaciously took root on several major islands, preparing for the coming unprecedented blow, but when it really came, they realized that everything was prepared. , It's all in vain!

Only two hours later, the figures of two Kunlun-class super battleships appeared in the field of vision of the Oahu defenders. Lieutenant General Short personally watched the enemy's formation, and he could vaguely see the majestic giant ship heading towards Show off your might here.

He couldn't help clenching his teeth, and turned his head and asked stiffly: "Where's the shore fire artillery that was just installed? Can you reach them?"

A staff officer reported immediately, even if he didn't want to: "At present, the super heavy artillery on Oahu Island only has four 50-caliber m1919 406mm guns and four 305mm naval guns. The maximum range is 40 kilometers, which is difficult to reach to them!"

"Damn it! It's just that short! Could it be that the Chinese already know about our firepower deployment?" Lieutenant General Short slammed the window sill hard, and there was nowhere to vent his anger.

The staff officer replied dutifully: "I'm afraid so! According to our intelligence, the naval gun system used by the Chinese Navy has almost completely copied the various weapons of our navy, especially the mk6 16-inch naval gun, which is almost exactly the same. It is installed on the On their "Taishan-class" battleship! However, we have no way of knowing about the series of improvements that were made later. In addition, the "Florida" battleship they bought the first time was equipped with the same 305mm gun, so the Chinese should be aware of our Armed!"

"Damn arms dealers! Short-sighted politicians! How dare they sell all our important weapons! Now retribution! They should all be shot!"

Lieutenant General Short was furious, the news was terrible!Looking at it, the opponent can enter the range of the hidden coastal defense artillery, but unexpectedly, it stops at more than 40 kilometers away and does not press forward, which obviously proves.People are very familiar with the performance indicators of weapons owned by the US military!

The 50-caliber guns newly deployed by the navy are not enough, so the 45-caliber guns used by the army may be even more powerless. In this way, they want to ambush the opponent's plan suddenly.It was a failure.

But that's good too. Knowing the defense force they have, the other party dare not approach the warship easily to launch bombardment on the opposite shore to support the landing operation. Then it may not be so easy to rush up.

Oahu Island is the most important core of the entire Hawaiian Islands. Not only is there the existence of Pearl Harbor, 305% of the people and the economy of the Islands are gathered here in Honolulu.It can be described as the focus of defense.Earlier, the U.S. military did not consider being threatened at all, so it deployed four [-] guns symbolically.

But with the collapse of Japan and the threat of the Chinese navy, the U.S. military realized that it might be attacked, so they moved up four other 406 cannons and deployed them on the mountains on both sides of Pearl Harbor and Kaneohe Bay on the east side. Among the two wings of the mountains.

M1919 coastal defense gun.A single door costs $52, and the Yankees have deep pockets.A total of 20 doors were made in one breath. Except for a few doors deployed at the mouth of the Panama Canal, the rest were deployed in the main ports on the west coast, and some were placed on the east coast to guard against the Germans. The work has not been done until now, I have to say Procrastination as hell.

in the bones.Americans still don't believe that they will be beaten up. Now, I guess they regret it a bit.

On the east side of Oahu Island, outside Kaneohe Bay, two battleships "Kunlun Mountain" and "Tianshan" lined up.Arranged in the innermost layer, the rest of the destroyers formed an arc encirclement on the outside to provide defense.

Sa Shijun zoomed in on the screen from the reconnaissance plane in front of him, especially the highlands surrounding the bay, his brows furrowed into a knot.

He knows that there is a 400mm heavy artillery deployed on the 406-meter-high hill hanging alone overseas, and that the U.S. military has deployed at least one air defense battalion around the hill that is only a little over 1 square kilometer. Near the bombed military airfield, at least one infantry battalion was stationed, and possibly more.

These guys, without exception, are all hidden under the thick reinforced concrete permanent fortifications. They are simply constructed by digging tunnels directly from the mountains. If they want to attack with ground-penetrating bombs from high altitude, although they can be successful, it will cost a lot of money. Huge, and whether it will be completely destroyed in the end is still unknown.

But if this stronghold is not taken away, it is impossible to land on the island. Not to mention anything else, just because of the existence of the two 406mm cannons, except for perverted guys like the Kunlun Mountain class, other warships want to approach. Absolutely not.

"These two nails must be pulled out! Otherwise, the subsequent battle will not be able to start!"

After a short thought, Sa Shijun made a decisive decision and ordered the two battleships to advance forward. After a short while, they quickly detoured back to within the 40-kilometer defensive border.

This action, like a fire burning to a hornet's nest, caused the US military on the entire island to become agitated immediately.Lieutenant General Short's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but brow with joy, and shouted: "Aha! Damn Chinese guys, it seems that the previous victory has made them dizzy! They thought that defeating the navy would easily make us Yield? Dream!"

He grabbed the phone and wanted to call the most prominent Fort 5b below, and ordered loudly: "Colonel James! Don't rush to do it first, let them in a little bit, and then do it with Bruno from Fort A! The Navy failed to do it Things, we Army will finish it!"

"Follow orders! General! Just wait and see the good show!"

Colonel James, who was in charge of the 5b battery, was also a proud guy. He gave the order in a slightly frivolous tone, and then he lay down on the side of the huge heavy artillery firing hole, holding a large telescope to observe carefully.

The fort where he was located was deep into the solid mountain, protected by a mountain more than 100 meters above, and could not be attacked by any bombs.The shooting hole is an arc-shaped platform opened along a steep cliff. The top is protected by a large rock with a thickness of tens of meters, and the front is at least three meters of concrete. The entire shooting angle exceeds 100 degrees. open.

Inside, there is a spacious passage, forming a gentle slope hundreds of meters long leading directly to the outside. To attack the back, the enemy must first break through the defense of at least two battalions.Moreover, the rear can support up to one division at any time.Can't say it's almost perfect.

Under such conditions, Colonel James is confident that he will not let any enemy break through easily.

Gradually, the majestic figure of "Kunlun Mountain" is getting closer and closer, without a telescope, at an altitude of more than 200 meters.can also be clearly seen.The artillerymen and officers nearby couldn't help admiring: "It's unexpected that the Chinese can build such a huge warship! It's really hard to understand, how those dwarfs in the East designed it! Do they also have imagination?"

Obviously, they have seen the Japanese "Yamato-class" battleships.Anyone who sees the 7-ton monster will be in awe from the bottom of his heart, not only for the 460mm cannon that is one person tall, but also for the tens of thousands of tons of mountain-like steel, representing the stalwart of human imagination and industrial capabilities strength!

Colonel James snorted coldly: "What's the matter?! Our navy is said to be building even bigger battleships. At that time, with our strong industrial strength, we can easily crush them all to death! Now, give them all I cheered up, aimed at that guy, fought for the first shot, and hit him!"

"Don't worry, boss! We're not those guys floating on the sea. It's hard to hit a single shot in half a day. If that guy gets closer, I promise to blow up his island with one shot!"

The artillery major looked proud.Obviously very confident in his level.

Colonel James said nothing more.He stared coldly at the approaching battleship.

Above their heads, the entire sky has been controlled by the carrier-based aircraft of the ocean-going fleet. Now, there are more than a dozen attack aircraft loaded with ammunition, wandering back and forth at a low speed of [-] kilometers in the low altitude, looking for targets worth attacking.The defense forces had to dodge obediently.In the case of weak anti-aircraft weapons, standing out is just courting death.

time flies!Half an hour later, the "Kunlun Mountain" has entered a distance of 25 kilometers, which is an excellent strike distance for a coastal defense artillery with a range of 40 kilometers!

It was found that the giant ship had begun to turn slowly.It was clear that it was unlikely to continue to approach, Colonel James made a decisive decision and waved his arm vigorously: "Fire!"

"boom!"

An earth-shattering loud response sounded out!Under the urging of a full 640 pounds of propellant, the armor-piercing projectile weighing 2240 pounds rushed out of the barrel with a gust of wind!

The recoil of thousands of tons caused the giant cannon to rush back fiercely, and slid out more than 20 meters along the rails before being pulled by multiple elastic traction cables with thick thighs in the front and a spring-hydraulic braking device at the rear. Under the joint action of the two people, the whole mountain was shaken, as if a magnitude [-] earthquake had occurred. On the roof of the cave, the concrete layer with a thickness of two to three meters was rustling down. !

Everyone in the fort, even if they were wearing the most effective earmuffs, could not hear anything. If they hadn't been far enough away from the cannon, they might have been shaken to the point of shifting their internal organs!

Looking ahead again, the moment the muzzle wind rushed out, the camouflage nets, vegetation, and fake rocks that had been pasted on the surface of the mountain were all broken off by the turbulent expansion airflow, revealing the arc-shaped shooting holes, and the boiling smoke was swept away by the sea breeze. , Immediately submerged half of the mountain!

Land-based coastal defense guns do not have to consider the problem of shaking. No matter how large the caliber is, the accuracy cannot be compared with the artillery on the ship.Especially on the 25 kilometers where the hit rate is greatly increased, even a 203mm gun can guarantee a hit, not to mention, the target is a super battleship as huge as a mountain!

This 406mm armor-piercing projectile made a rumbling roar, and the pointed and regular umbrella-shaped shock wave showed a strong signal under the long-range radar detection. The seat immediately reported loudly: "The enemy turret is found to be firing! The weapon indicator judges that it is a 406mm heavy artillery!"

After just a few seconds, a stable arc trajectory was calculated, and it was shown impressively that it could just hit the island of the battleship!

At a distance of 25 kilometers, the shells flew for only half a minute. The "Kunlun Mountain" that was turning just happened to be unable to dodge it by maneuvering at speed.

Without Sa Shijun's command, the defense officer's seat immediately responded and took over. The warship continued to complete a large arc turn along the original trajectory. Then, when the shell was about to hit the last 300 meters, an electromagnetic shield appeared on the outside, reducing its speed. Cut to the minimum, the kinetic energy is unloaded, and the heavy shell carrier is stuck in the quagmire with tens of millions of joules of kinetic energy.It suddenly changed direction and plunged into the sea, and then a hearty explosion erupted from the depths!

"Boom!" The thick water column rushed up to a height of more than [-] meters, covering half of the figure of the battleship. From a distance, it looked like a near miss!

The soldiers on the fort suddenly gave a loud cheer!Colonel James stared until the water column fell.Revealing that the battleship was safe and sound, he couldn't help shouting angrily: "Damn it! I almost hit her!"

The Artillery Major was very upset, this was a mistake that should never have been made!

He looked hard at the "Kunlun Mountain" again from the gun scope, and said with a vow: "I promise, the next shot will definitely give them a good look! Guys, work harder, and quickly restore the gun position!"

A large group of artillerymen waiting for the fort swarmed around to help push the heavy cannon.Pulling the propellant, and rushing another shell along the rails to the gun barrel emitting white smoke, the movements are very skilled.

Lieutenant General Short watched gently from the mountainside. It was a pity that the water column almost hit him. After thinking about it, he immediately wanted to call Colonel Bruno at the 5a fort: "Don't wait, you should also fire immediately. Together with James. Kill this guy!"

A few seconds after he put down the phone, from the mountain on the other side of the bay.There was another loud bang, and another 406mm cannon fired in response. The heavy shell flew to the left side of the bow of the "Kunlun Mountain" with extremely high precision. It was also blocked by the electromagnetic shield 200 meters away and fell into the water. explode!

"Damn it! It's only a little short!"

Lieutenant General Short looked furious and couldn't help complaining.Once can also be said to be an accident.Twice, that's a little out of the ordinary.Could it be that the other party's luck is that good?This is a shore-based artillery, and it always misses the heavy super battleship.This is unreasonable!

Of course, if he knew the truth, he would yell that God is not open, this kind of thing can happen to them.

On the "Kunlun Mountain", a stern smile appeared on Sa Shijun's face, and he said lightly: "Very good! The Americans have exposed the fort very honestly. First use the main gun to give them some color." !"

The two triple-mounted turrets on the bow and stern turned and aimed at the sound, each locked on a turret, and after a while, a burst of gunpowder smoke filled the air, and they all fired!

In an instant, the billowing fireworks pressed out a large sunken crater on the sea surface, and the terrifying shells flew out of their chambers, at a faster speed than the opponent, in groups of three, and smashed fiercely on the mountains where they were located!

All the armor-piercing projectiles, the terrifying kinetic energy erupting within 25 kilometers, and the terrifying penetration that even the 16-inch armor plate of the battleship could not bear, all smashed into the depths of the rock mass and exploded!

The two hills where the fort is located erupted in unison to shake the ground. The six explosion groups each submerged a hilltop and knocked away an unknown number of tons of steel. It's all blown up!

Colonel James's 5b fort was exploded by one of the shells at a distance of about 100 meters. The strong shock and roar shook everyone inside tottering, and the dust flew around. I don't know if the mountain under my feet will just collapse like this!

"What a terrifying reaction speed! Terrible precision!"

He shook his head to shake off the thick dust, looked down through the periscope, and suddenly found a mountain wall not far away that had been blown away with a large rock. ah!

However, that's it, but they can't kill their forts.No matter from any angle, it is impossible to shoot shells into the firing holes. No matter how violent the explosion outside is, it will not help the fort.

"Continue to bomb! Until they are completely killed! How dare you confront our fort, I simply don't want to live!"

James' excited roar infected everyone, and when the smoke billowing below subsided a little, the second shell blasted out, and within a dozen seconds, the A turret on the other side also fired. Obviously, Colonel Bruno was just like him. Thinking, it depends on who can hit the first shot first.

"Well, at this time, if the commander of that battleship is smart, he should have escaped while hiding with smoke? It's not a good idea to bombard the fort!"

He still has the leisure to think about the enemy.But they don't know that Sa Shijun's side is another scene!

Once again, they successfully intercepted two shells and let them explode nearby. The radar officer immediately reported: "The precise coordinates of the attacking turret have been locked! Do you want to launch a precision strike?"

Without even thinking about it, Sa Shijun waved his hand vigorously: "Launch the cruise missile and take down these two forts!" <The fire controller steadily pressed the button, and four streams of thick smoke spewed out from the rear of the battleship. The four cruise missiles rushed out of a height of more than 300 meters, and then turned their heads and rushed towards the two fort firing holes!

The giant cannon just fired, billowing smoke from the muzzle, scorching radiation is simply the best induction signal, coupled with a drone that provides guidance not far away, and the fire control radar on the battleship Triple guidance, let them lock on to the target effortlessly!

It was only 25 kilometers away, and it took only about 20 seconds for the subsonic missile to fly. The long wake in the midair did not even dissipate. A group of two cruise missiles precisely aimed at the protruding turret like a whale's mouth!

Colonel James did not expect to encounter such a blow at all, but when the strange sight of the missile flying into the air reminded him of something terrible, he was startled, and before he could react, a missile hit the upper lip of the fort fiercely , Exploded! (To be continued..)
