The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

() That's right!A shield machine with a working face diameter of 7 meters!Zhu Bin’s first batch of super-construction machinery, a high-end gadget that has made great contributions to drilling projects all over the world, was actually disassembled by him into modules and packed into a large supply ship. Today, it is even more discredited to move Arrived at the island under the siege of the U.S. regiment, it was assembled unexpectedly!

More than a dozen large engineering vehicles, with push shovels at the front, grippers at the back, and multifunctional mechanical arms on top, work together. With the help of engineers wearing exoskeleton armor, they can easily clamp the round modules firmly on the rails. Then, the chassis with its own motor moves forward and is assembled into a whole huge roadheader.

Under the control of the intelligent system, the internal pipes, steel frames, cables and the locking mechanism of the double-layer shell are independently completed by a more sophisticated small robot. The speed is fast, the precision is high, and the dense sensors ensure that there is no possibility of a joint miss.

In the early hours of the morning, the main body assembly of the three shield machines had been completed, and one of the whole machine was successfully tested. The small nuclear reactor responsible for power generation immediately output full power. On the circular excavation shield surface in front of the car, hundreds of high-energy pulse ultrasonic cannons Working together, on the sloping mountain in front of you, the exposed stone with a diameter of 7.5 meters cracked, and with the slow rotation and contact of the shield surface, tons of gravel were immediately crushed and flowed continuously along the pipeline. Pull it out!

Behind the car body, a thick and long pipe transports gravel from the back to the large pit dug by the engineering vehicle. The water seeping inside ensures that no dust will be raised, and more than a dozen small steel frames are scattered on the surrounding high-rise On the ground, each is covered with weird equipment, and after being powered on, they work together to form a "mirage" optical invisible area covering the ground with a diameter of two kilometers!

All the engineering vehicles, the three shield tunneling machines, and all the personnel are tightly hidden inside, and only the low roar can be heard far away.

But the U.S. military on the mountain couldn't hear it.Because they are facing an unprecedented blow!

The ocean-going fleet, which had been silent for a long time, opened fire again. Two battleships and a dozen destroyers bombarded most of the Kahenai Mountain without stopping. The earth-shattering noises covered up all the movements made by the engineering vehicles. Plus the sky. The circling and sweeping of more than 20 attack planes forced two US divisions to hide with their heads covered.

Throughout the night, the long hills and the entire island were shaken by the rumbling shelling. Above the heads of the U.S. military, flares were fired continuously as if they were free of charge, making them as bright as daylight.The level of brutality is outrageous!

The U.S. military, which has been tossed for a long time, can't take a good rest at all, and has to be careful not to be hit by tons of shells. Some unlucky people were knocked out of the sky by the close-range explosion, and they were half dead, and they didn't have the spirit to care about Zhong Yang What the hell is going on on the plain.

After a full upgrade.The performance of the military shield machine combined with Zhu Bin's spacecraft technology has changed a lot!It turned out that the guy who built the mountain pass could only dig 500 meters a week, but at that time it was purely mechanical.

Now, the super-powerful sonic cannon directly shattered the rock face of the mountain, and then crushed and penetrated. The efficiency is more than ten times higher!Even if it is as fast as a super gadget supported by a fusion reactor like the robotic arm of a spaceship, it is still within a short day and night.Drilled nearly 1000 meters in!

In the middle of the Kahenai Ridge where they started work, the uplift area above 800 meters above sea level has a width of less than 4000 meters, and most of them are steep high mountains that rise rapidly.The shield machine excavated directly under a steep mountain wall, and behind it was a large slope that stretched for nearly ten kilometers, enough for tanks, trucks and the like to climb up.

Not to mention the US military, I am afraid that the vast majority of people in the world cannot imagine it.Zhu Bin would choose such an attack method, and it is even more unimaginable that someone can do it at such an altitude.Do it with terrible machinery and under great threat!

The engineering vehicle is multi-pronged, digging out the fault leading to the big downhill behind the starting point of the shield machine, so that the fine gravel can naturally accumulate, collapse, and slide down. After getting off the steel rails, the walking on the ground bears the weight of the ground and moves freely.

The next morning, more airborne troops began to drop in. At least two regiments of nearly 3000 heavily armed troops were scattered on the vast beach. Construct forward bases and outlying fortifications.

Although the U.S. military was aware of it, there was no other way to stop it.The loss of the artillery of the 27th Division led to the loss of the long-range strike capability on this side of Vinay Beach. The infantry...don't go up to die. Under the bombardment of intensive rocket rain, nothing can survive.

On the other side of Oahu, the two battleships also turned around, leaving only a few destroyers to attack offshore, part-time defense of Air Force fighters from the west coast of the United States.

The Pacific Fleet did not admit defeat. Nimitz approached the southeastern waters with most of the aircraft carrier fleet, and the escort fleet composed of several aircraft carriers stayed in Hawaii about [-] kilometers away. The fighter plane that took off landed, replenished ammunition and fuel, and then leaped to the sky above Oahu to die.

That's right, to die.

The loss of control of Hawaii's air supremacy led to extremely serious consequences. Air Force fighters were limited in range and could not fly here to fight.Three aircraft carriers are used as a springboard, and the fleet formed at one time is no more than a few dozen aircraft, and they can only barely fight back and forth. If there are too many ammunition loaded, it will inevitably greatly affect the combat radius.

The skies above Hawaii are patrolled by Flying Shark-e and jet fighters that stay in the air for a long time. No matter how many come, they are not enough for missiles to hit. In addition, the interception of destroyers is also greatly supplemented. The frontal airspace is unbreakable!

Even so, the U.S. military still has no choice but to send it here without limit. If it doesn't, there is really no hope at all. They would rather spend it so hard to interfere and affect the entire battlefield.

But is it useful?At least for now, it seems useless at all!

The four battleships are lined up across the sea on the west side of Oahu Island, their bows and sterns are curved, they fire alternately, roaring day and night, not giving the U.S. military a chance to breathe, and that posture seems to be not worried about the gun barrels at all. Attrition, consumption of ammunition.

In fact... it seems that there is no need to worry!the entire Pacific Ocean.There is no ship that can threaten the Kunlun-class super battleship. They are not stopped by anyone as they walk sideways. If they are not consumed, why keep them?

The Americans could do nothing about it. Lieutenant General Short stayed behind Pearl Harbor and was relatively unaffected, but the high tension continued for several days.The earth-shattering explosions continued one after another, and he was haggard and aged a lot, but he had to hold on. He called the two divisions in front of him every now and then to inquire and cheer them up. Be sure to hold on!

Both Holland and Ralph said: "An attack of this level will not hit us fast! The Chinese can only waste ammunition needlessly. The real casualties are minimal, and we will definitely be able to support until the last moment!"

In fact, the continuous bombing made them greatly relieved. This shows that the Chinese navy's offensive capabilities are just that. Apart from wasting ammunition, they seem to be taking them who are hiding in the mountains.There is no good way.If you continue to do this, it won't be long before the fleet will be exhausted. Let's see who laughs last!

On the third day, a very bad news came suddenly. After the defenders on Midway Island were violently attacked and fought to no avail, they were frightened by the terrible weapons of the Chinese.Surrender!

This means that the periphery of Hawaii has completely lost its protection, and the Chinese have two springboards facing this place. With their engineering capabilities, I am afraid that it will not take a few days to build a stable sea area larger than Wake Island. platform!At that time, their aircraft carrier formation will be able to continue overseas operations.will double!

Lieutenant General Short was furious and yelled cursingly: "Bastard! How can they surrender at the slightest threat! Are they so weak that they can't even compare with the Chinese?"

The Ministry of National Defense’s statement on this was much calmer and more frank. Chief of Staff Marshall bluntly stated in the power generation: “They have tried their best! Since there is no chance of confronting the terrible weapons of the Chinese, we agree not to cause unnecessary casualties. The lives of young Americans. Are precious."

Lieutenant General Short was just saying hello. In fact, he didn't know what would happen to Midway Island once it lost the protection of the fleet?

The atoll structure similar to Wake Island has no cover, no matter whether the opponent dispatches air force or navy, they can attack with their hands.However, with the means of the Chinese navy, fighter planes can bomb long-distance without even entering the strike range of anti-aircraft guns.

However, one of the news made him very vigilant, that is, the attack on Midway Island was a new naval force. The message sent by the defenders on the island claimed that they saw a large number of landing ships, and the leader was the signature ship. The Chinese model of the "German-class pocket battleship" is China's first new ship with a displacement of more than 1 tons.

Those two ships have 280mm main guns, which are not much less powerful than battleships. They can easily blow up a small Midway Island.

Lieutenant General Short was even more aware that the other party had not shielded the battlefield communication at all. He must have deliberately let him receive information from outside. Was the purpose to shake his will and morale of the army?

There is this possibility!But he couldn't avoid it. The official arrival of China's landing ships meant that within two days, a large number of landing ships and tens of thousands of marines would appear in front of Oahu!

He immediately conveyed this news to the entire island defenders, and soon all radio communications were interrupted!

The real battle is coming!

At this moment, Zhu Bin flew directly from the mainland to the ocean-going fleet, and the "big-billed parrot" aircraft landed from the flagship, which surprised Ouyangge and others. Are you worried about your command at this time? ?Or is there another meaning?

Zhu Bin has already experienced training, and he explained to them when he came up: "The Chinese Communists are about to formally capture the territory of a world power for the first time. Such a great moment that is rarely seen in hundreds of years. As the coach, how can I not come?"

Not only him, Jiang Baili, Chen Shaokuan and other generals also arrived on the same plane. If it weren't for the need for someone to take charge of the overall situation in the country, even Li Zongren wanted to join in the fun.Nothing else, this thing is of great significance!

Small places such as Guam and Wake Island are not counted, they are all dispensable. Hawaii is different. It is such a big archipelago, and it is also a representative formal territory of the United States. Its value is immeasurable and its representative significance , is almost equivalent to landing on the North American continent, representing the Chinese navy.It really started the feat of sweeping the Pacific Ocean, enough to be recorded in history!

With this explanation, Ouyang Ge was a little relieved, led everyone to the bridge command room, and gave a brief report of the current battle situation---although the entire war process is under Zhu Bin's real-time control, but listen to the commander's specific explanation .Still interesting.

Chen Shaokuan and others felt that this was relatively new, and they had been listening very attentively. When they learned that three shield machines had been transported up to drill holes in the middle of the mountain, he was very surprised and asked in puzzlement: "Why do you need to do this?" ? With our strength, even a frontal attack is enough to completely conquer it, so time-consuming and risky, it seems superfluous!"

Chen Shaokuan is not very clear about many activities of the ocean-going fleet, and besides, this matter is indeed a bit out of tune.

Ouyang Ge didn't rush to explain, in fact, he also felt that this move didn't make much sense.But Zhu Bin smiled and said: "No! We are thinking about how to take Hawaii by surprise with the least cost. The frontal attack is sharp, but it will take a long time to peel off the defense layer by layer. We can use shocking methods directly Break through the psychological defense line of the defending U.S. military to achieve the goal of speeding up the battle process! Besides, it takes a long time for the landing troops to arrive, and they are idle if they are idle..."

As he spoke, his true colors were revealed, and Chen Shaokuan shook his head.

At any rate, Jiang Baili understood the entire strategic deployment, and he was serious with him: "Our goal is not just to occupy, but to permanently own the whole of Hawaii. When attacking, we must consider the limit of damage. The western and central parts of Oahu itself Lack of channels. Such a direct penetration is actually beneficial to future governance, and it can kill multiple things in one fell swoop."

This reason does not seem to be very tenable, but it is not easy to tear down the stage, is it?Chen Shaokuan didn't ask any more questions, and stood in front, squinting his eyes and looking at Oahu Island.But seeing the entire island in a trance covered by the gray explosion smoke, sporadic US fighter planes rushed up in the sky and were shot down immediately.The surface of the sea is oily everywhere, and countless debris fluctuates with the waves. One can imagine how many planes have been killed!

In fact, Zhu Bin made the current offensive plan because he was really idle. In addition, it was indeed to reduce the number of deaths. He roughly knew that a huge island with high mountains and dense forests hid tens of thousands of stoic soldiers , how much trouble it will cause.

Not to mention anything else, how long has it been since the Japanese army in Fujian and Zhejiang, the Japanese army on Taiwan Island, and even the Japanese army on Ryukyu Island?

Although Ri himself is a bit perverted and brain-dead, and does not turn his head, who knows how many similar tough bones Americans have experienced?Oahu Island is even more troublesome than Ryukyu Island!On this volcanic island, no one knows how many caves and cracks there are, hiding people, it is really hard to find!

Their arrival encouraged the entire fleet, and the four battleships took turns to bombard them, fighting vigorously.On the afternoon of the fifth day, the amphibious assault fleet finally arrived slowly at a speed of 20 knots. Hundreds of large and small ships of various types and transport ships were packed in a black mass behind the battleships, as if they could rush to the beach at any time.

The U.S. troops who were tossed to death and died immediately came to their senses. They realized that an unprecedented crisis was right in front of them!

Lieutenant General Short shouted to the whole island: "Cheer up! We will be able to support until the arrival of reinforcements! The Chinese cannot defeat us! The great America will never fail!"

"Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Between the mountains and mountains, a hundred thousand American soldiers roared fiercely, and countless people forced their spirits to enter the position. The shore-based forts, concealed artillery and armored soldiers all stared, waiting for the landing craft to approach!

Dozens of light and heavy warships of the ocean-going fleet moved forward together, advancing to around 40 kilometers, with full firepower!Long-range rockets and nearby battleship cannons suddenly roared and spewed out a rain of bullets ten times denser, covering all the beachheads down to the Kahnai Ridge, and for the first time directly bombarded the Diamond Mountain where the US military fort was located. The force of dozens of cannons attacking together has the potential to directly collapse this volcano with a diameter of one kilometer and a golf course built inside it!

The Chinese are about to land in the south!

After repeated warnings, Major General Patton of the Second Armored Division guarding the front slowly and confidently announced that as long as the Chinese dare to come, they must be crushed under our tracks!

Into the night!The artillery shells fired from the battleship, the explosion flames caused, the illuminated southern islands were as bright as day, and the roar was earth-shattering, boiling up the sky, making people worry that the volcano would be detonated!

However, near the dark Vinai Beach in the northern part of Oahu, the tails of the two amphibious assault ships quietly unloaded one after another air-cushion landing craft, loaded with tanks, infantry combat vehicles, and accompanying soldiers. on the beach.

The rest of the amphibious landing ships and more than 4000 tons of tank landing craft drove directly to the beach and released the loaded armored troops. Dozens of them together formed a huge steel wall on the beach. Hundreds of armored vehicles of various types formed a mighty torrent of steel. Long ran to the large cave dug by the three shield machines!

At dawn on the second day, three shield machines successfully drilled through the mountain, blasted the last layer of rock from the valley on the other side, and rushed out, behind, continuous tanks crushed fine gravel The ground shoots out one after another, sloping towards the central plain like a tide! (To be continued.)
